Pavilion Publishing and Media Ltd Talking with a Map: A Cognitive Analytic Approach
Book SynopsisThis book explores the interplay between how we talk and how we relate. We learn to relate before we learn to talk, and every conversation depends on making sense of our interactions as much as our language. Conversation has the potential to bring us a deeper and clearer perspective, but we are also capable of getting lost or into a mess. Tackling this and offering a means to improve conversational skill for those who depend on it (e.g. teachers, nurses, managers) as well as anyone seeking the courage, compassion and curiosity to have better conversations and relationships, Talking with a Map presents a series of simple steps for making word maps of discussions as they develop. These maps track the hidden patterns in what we say and how we relate to each other while speaking, making visible the links and gaps in our discussions and helping us to achieve a shared understanding of conversations.Table of ContentsPreface Foreword by Elizabeth Wilde McCormack 1: Setting the scene 2: Mapping what we are doing and feeling 3: Mapping roles and relationships 4: Conversational story telling 5: Managing a session of talking with a map 6: Conversational awareness 7: Writing, mapping and voicing words 8: Mara, the mother of tongues 9: Conversational poverty 10: Therapeutic conversations with a map 11: Conversational awareness at work, at school, in love or in the arts 12: Talking politics with a map 13: Conclusion Appendices References

Book SynopsisCarl Gustav Jung merged Eastern mysticism with Western psychology, brought scientific respectability to religion, laid the foundation for ''the New Age,'' and is second only to Freud in influence and importance in the world of psychoanalysis. Many consider him a genius, but many others disagree.Scholar and clinical psychologist Jon Platania, PhD, presents Jung as a somewhat opportunistic and dissociated character whose most famous historical events were his break with Freud and his questionable sojourn with the psychological elite of the German Third Reich. On the other side of Jung''s complex genius, there is a deeply spiritual man who laid the groundwork for a more optimistic approach to our modern understanding of the human psyche in both theology and psychology. He is remembered by many as the Swiss Doctor of the Soul.Dr. Platania then takes us on a tour of the work that made Jung one of the pillars of modern psychology. And what a body of work it is. Jung''s open-mindedness was astonishing. Wherever he went-Calcutta, Egypt, Palestine, Kenya-Jung learned something that expanded his views. His open-ended psychology incorporated Yoga, meditation, prayer, alchemy, mythology, astrology, numerology, the I Ching-even flying saucers! He taught us that psychology and religion can not only coexist peacefully together, but that they can enhance us, inspire us, and help us complete ourselves.Freud, for all of his brilliance, reduced us to little more than vessels of hormones with high IQs. Jung, for all of his flaws, gave us back our souls.

Academic Studies Press Answering a Question with a Question:
Book SynopsisIn the Jewish tradition, it is incumbent upon every generation to attempt to find meaning in its history. Meaning is co-created within the context of the inter-subjective field of a meeting of minds. Psychoanalysis, in some respects like the Jewish tradition from which it emerged, represents a body of thought about man’s relation to himself and to others, and places great value on the influence of memory, narrative, and history in creating meaning within the dyadic relationship of analyst and patient. In Answering a Question with a Question: Contemporary Psychoanalysis and Jewish Thought, editors Aron and Henik have brought together an international collection of contemporary scholars and clinicians to address the interface and the mutual influence of Jewish thought and modern psychoanalysis.Trade ReviewLong overdue, this sumptuous anthology of recent writings on the multiple interconnections between Judaism and contemporary psychoanalysis is endlessly illuminating. The range is indeed broad, from theology (God, of course), to biblical narratives (the Garden of Eden narrative), to ritual (shiva) on one side, and from Freud (of course) to Winnicott and Stephen Mitchell on the other. The scholarship is both impeccable and accessible to the general reader. A major contribution to both fields."âDr. Neil Gillman, Aron Rabinowitz and Simon H. Rifkind Emeritus Professor of Jewish Philosophy, Jewish Theological Seminary of America|"Freud famously had one foot in fin de siecle Vienna and the other in the world of his fellow Jews. His ambivalence about the gap between the Greco-Christian intellectual tradition of secular Vienna and his own Rabbinic tradition has been amply explored and documented. In this rich and original book, Aron and Henik bring these issues into the present. In keeping with relational and post-modern precepts, their effort is dialogic and intertextual; that is, it is not about Freudâs dilemma, but rather about exploring and extending contemporary mutual influences. Brilliant and enlightening, this book represents a wide and impressive spectrum of scholarship and will be of great value to anyone interested in the interface between Judaism, psychoanalysis and culture. So, whatâs not to like?"âEdgar Levenson, MD Fellow Emeritus, Training and Supervisory Analyst and Faculty, William Alanson White Institute|"Lewis Aron and Libby Henik have edited a fresh and intellectually challenging collection of essays. Each contributor has original insights into the history and practice of psychoanalysis, the fascinating question of Freudâs Jewishness, and the role of psychoanalysis in modern Jewish self-understanding.ââSusannah Heschel, Eli Black Professor of Jewish Studies, Dartmouth College|"Answering a Question with a Question: Contemporary Psychoanalysis and Jewish Thought, edited by Lewis Aron and Libby Henik, is a timely and welcome collection of essays by Jewish psychoanalysts exemplifying the whole range of Jewish denominations including ultra-Orthodoxy." --Carlo Strenger, Haaretz Despite Freud's disdain of religion, psychoanalysis was dubbed a 'Jewish science' by the Nazis among others. Edited by Aron (director, New York U. Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis) and Henik (in private practice in New York and New Jersey), this collection brings together 14 essays offering wide-ranging perspectives on psychoanalysis in Jewish contexts. Following an overview of the historiography of scholarship in the field as a 'Jewish wisdom tradition,' US contributors examine topics including the interpretation of dreams, shiva (the Jewish mourning ritual), the Commandments, Garden of Eden narratives, transformation through mysticism or psychoanalysis, and anti- Semitism through theoretical formulations, clinical case examples, and biblical-type commentary. (Annotation ©2010 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)|"The editors of the thought-provoking book Answering a Question With a Question: Contemporary Psychoanalysis and Jewish Thought seek to look beyond Freudâs own Jewish heritage to an in-depth study of Judaism and Jewish studies as the foundation of psychoanalytic principles. The study and practice of psychoanalysis share a deep connection with the study and practice of Judaism. Although Freudâs concern was that the relationship between psychoanalysis and Judaism would lead to the demise of psychoanalysis, Lew Aron and Libby Henik set out to demonstrate how fundamentally entwined psychoanalysis is with Judaism... The answer to a question and the solution to a problem can come from a number of places. However many times a solution is offered, we may reject or obscure our understanding. Like the religious man and the patient in analysis, the reader must make his or her own meaning of the experience. The essays collected here provide a glimpse of two historic traditions. Through inquiry and exploration of the inner and outer world, both share that fundamental human desire to make meaning out of chaos and to bring a deeper understanding to what it means to be human.'' -- Michael B. Donner, PsycCritiques|âAron and Henik have assembled 14 thoughtful, well-researched essays, some of them pathbreaking, on the historical and intellectual imbrication of Jewish thought and modern psychoanalysis. . . . Particularly rich is the grouping on biblical commentary, which includes essays on the relation to psychoanalysis of rabbinic exegesis, Midrashic tradition, and biblical narrative. . . . This book will interest anyone concerned with the intellectual and cultural history of psychoanalysis and its implications for further speculation and therapy. Highly recommended.â âM.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Psychoanalysis, Politics and the Postmodern University
Book SynopsisCritical theory draws on Marxism, psychoanalysis, postmodern and poststructuralist theorists. Marxism and psychoanalysis are rooted in the Enlightenment project, while postmodernism and poststructuralism are more indebted to Nietzsche, whose philosophy is rooted in anti-Enlightenment ideas and ideals. Marxism and psychoanalysis contributed mightily to our understanding of fascism and authoritarianism, but were distorted and disfigured by authoritarian tendencies and practices in turn. This book, written for clinicians and social scientists, explores these overarching themes, focusing on the reception of Freud in America, the authoritarian personality and American politics, Lacan’s “return to Freud,” Jordan Peterson and the Crisis of the Liberal Arts, and the anti-psychiatry movement. Trade Review“Burston’s book is an outstanding work of scholarship in which he favourably reviews Wilhelm Reich and Erich Fromm’s contention that ‘sadomasochism and authoritarianism are not confined to the extreme Right … . Burston endorses the mode of rational authority needed by democratic entities, which is the one that promotes competence and mutual respect.” (Ann Casement, Journal of Analytical Psychology, Vol. 66 (1), 2021)Table of ContentsChapter One: Critical Theory and the Problem of AuthorityChapter Two: Freud and America: The Golden Age, the Freud Wars and BeyondChapter Three: Jacques Lacan and Louis Althusser: Return to Freud?

Springer Nature Switzerland AG The Psychoanalysis of Artificial Intelligence
Book SynopsisThis book examines the crucial role of psychoanalysis in understanding what AI means for us as speaking, sexed subjects. Drawing on Lacanian theory and recent clinical developments it explores what philosophy and critical theory of AI has hitherto neglected: enjoyment. Through the reconceptualization of Intelligence, the Artificial Object and the Sexual Abyss the book outlines the Sexbot as a figure who exists on the boundary of psychoanalysis and AI. Through this figure and the medium of film, the author subverts Kant’s three Enlightenment questions and guides readers to transition from asking 'Does it think?' to 'Can it enjoy?' The book will appeal in particular to students and scholars of psychoanalysis, philosophy, film and media studies, critical theory, feminist theory and AI research. Table of Contents1 IntroductionPart I2 The Stupidity of Intelligence3 The Artificial Object4 The Sexual AbyssPart II5 What Can I Know? Artificial Enjoyment6 What Should I Do? Patipolitics: From Sade to Killian7 What Can I Hope For? Reproduction, Replication, Immortality8 Conclusion: What Is Man? Between Matheme and Anxiety

Springer Nature Switzerland AG The Cinematic Superhero as Social Practice
Book SynopsisThis book analyzes the cinematic superhero as social practice. The study’s critical context brings together psychoanalysis and restorative and reflective nostalgia as a way of understanding the ideological function of superhero fantasy. It explores the origins of cinematic superhero fantasy from antecedents in myth and religion, to twentieth-century comic book, to the cinematic breakthrough with Superman (1978). The authors then focus on Spider-Man as reflective response to Superman’s restorative nostalgia, and read MCU’s overarching narrative from Iron Man to End Game in terms of the concurrent social, political, and environmental conditions as a world in crisis. Zornado and Reilly take up Wonder Woman and Black Panther as self-conscious attempts to reflect on gender and race in restorative superhero fantasy, and explore Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy as a meditation on the need for authoritarian fascism. The book concludes with Logan, Wonder Woman 1984, and Amazon Prime’s The Boys as distinctly reflective fantasy narratives critical of the superhero fantasy phenomenon.Table of Contents1.

Scheidegger und Spiess AG, Verlag Psychoanalyst Meets Helene and Wolfgang
Book SynopsisWolfgang Beltracchi is a phenomenon of the international art world. His name is inextricably entwined with one of the greatest upheavals in the global art market. Emulating numerous world-famous artists, he developed and painted new paintings, continued their narrations and biography, and concluded them with a forged signature. His wife Helene Beltracchi then smuggled them onto the art market. Many experts were deceived by Beltracchi’s stupendous skill and auctioneers cast many doubts aside in the interests of insatiable market demand, selling the paintings as authentic works by the purported artists. Reading the artistic handwriting of a painting requires an exceptional willingness and ability to be able to empathise and identify with the artist, until you “can feel what the other feels” (Wolfgang Beltracchi). Through extensive discussions with the painter and his wife, the psychoanalyst Jeannette Fischer explored this capability that is so pronounced for Beltracchi. In her new book, she places this in relation to the disappearance of Beltracchi’s own signature. As with her previous highly successful book about the performance artist Marina Abramović, Jeannette Fischer has created an exceptionally insightful portrait of a fascinating artist personality.Trade Review"The story of how their operation worked has been exhaustively detailed in news reports, a documentary and the couple's 2011 trial. But in a recently published book, psychoanalyst Jeannette Fischer digs into the why. Through a series of in-depth conversations, carried out over coffee and wine at the pair's studio in Switzerland following their release from prison, she explores their motives, artistic processes and family histories." - CNN
