Taylor & Francis Ltd The Primordial Mind in Health and Illness
Book SynopsisThe universal quest to create cosmologies to comprehend the relationship between mind and world - is inevitably limited by the social, cultural and historical perspective of the observer, in this instance western psychoanalysis. In this book Michael Robbins attempts to transcend such contextual limitations by putting forward a primordial form of mental activity that co-exists alongside thought and is of equal importance in human affairs. This book challenges the western assumption that knowledge is synonymous with rational thought and that the aspect of mind that is not thought is immature, irrational, regressive and pathological. Robbins illustrates the central role of primordial mental activity in spiritual cultures analogous to that of thought in western culture as well as its significant contributions to numerous other phenomena including dreaming, language, creativity, shamanism and psychosis.In addition to his extensive clinical experience as a psychoanalyst RobTrade Review"This book offers an unusual and very valuable perspective on the deeper layers of the unconscious mind. Michael Robbins’ wide-ranging and engaging approach offers many fascinating and thought-provoking ideas that cut across theoretical divisions, making his work of interest to all in the field of ‘depth psychology’. I have found the idea of ‘primary mental activity’ useful in my own clinical work, as well as with students and supervisees who were keen to learn more about it." - Warren Colman, Jungian Psychoanalyst, Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Analytical Psychology"Michael Robbins has come up with a remarkable and innovative new concept, that of Primordial Mental Activity (PMA). His contribution is imaginative, creative, and fascinating, to say nothing of being useful in its application to psychoanalytic theory and practice as well as in its application to culture. In my opinion it is a most highly welcome conceptual addition to our thinking and clinical practice. I can tell how important his ideas are because I am putting them to use already. I highly recommend it." - James S. Grotstein, M.D., UCLA, California, USA"The number of psychoanalysts who have worked to integrate psychoanalytic and anthropological thinking can probably be counted on the fingers of one hand – Robert Paul, Waud Kracke, Elizabeth Spillius, Rosine Perelberg come to mind. These people were trained in both disciplines but Robbins is not a social anthropologist, as far as this reviewer is aware, which makes his achievement all the more impressive. He has not merely drawn links between the two disciplines but has explored each discipline in a good deal of depth in order to propose a model of mind applicable to both and characterised by primordial mental activity (PMA), although the outcomes of PMA in different cultures can vary greatly [...] Understanding this nonfigurative domain, and our relationship to it, heralds a form of integrative thinking that unsettles some of the sharp, categorical distinctions characteristic of western thought and the reader is left with a new orientation towards core mental activities and the nature of our relationship to them, for which Robbins' deserves our gratitude. This book merits being read and reread." - Paul Williams, Psychosis: Psychological, Social and Integrative Approaches, Volume 4, Issue 1, February 2012"The culmination of years of research, Robbins' book makes a compelling case for the existence of 'Primordal Mental Activity' (PMA) as a distinct form of mental functioning that is separate from and predates the development of rational thought in all persons." - John Merchant, Journal of Analytical Psychology, Volume 57, 2012"This book offers an unusual and very valuable perspective on the deeper layers of the unconscious mind.

Alessandra Lemma - Winner of the Levy-Goldfarb Award for Child Psychoanalysis!Under the Skin considers the motivation behind why people pierce, tattoo, cosmetically enhance, or otherwise modify their body, from a psychoanalytic perspective. It discusses how the therapist can understand and help individuals for whom the manipulation of the body is felt to be psychically necessary, regardless of whether the process of modification causes pain.In this book, psychoanalyst Alessandra Lemma draws on her work in the consulting room, as well as films, fiction, art and clinical research to suggest that the motivation for extensively modifying the surface of the body, and being excessively preoccupied with its appearance, comes from the person's internal world under their skin. Topics covered include: body image disturbance appearance anxiety body dysmorphic disorder the psychological function of cosmetic surgery,

Taylor & Francis Ltd Parents and Toddlers in Groups A Psychoanalytic
Book SynopsisThis book explores how psychoanalytic principles can be applied when working with parents and toddlers in groups. Illustrated with lively observations, it discusses how these parent-toddler groups can be an effective medium for early intervention during a period which is critical for the negotiation of a child's central emotional issues. Parents and Toddlers in Groups demonstrates the particular challenges of the toddler phase and its contribution to an individual's future development and relationships. Focusing on an approach developed by the Anna Freud Centre and comprising chapters from a range of expert contributors, topics include: the history, theory and practice of parent-toddler groups at the Anna Freud Centre how this approach has been adapted and applied across a wide range of settings and cultures the findings of research projects carried out on parent-toddler groups. This book will be a valuable Trade Review"This book succeeds brilliantly at illustrating the enormous value of the psychoanalytic parent-toddler group model developed at the Anna Freud Centre and now adopted around the world. The vivid examples enrich our appreciation for the inner life of toddlers and their active efforts to make themselves understood. The authors teach by example, sharing their extraordinary knowledge of this tumultuous but exhilarating age through tactful interventions that expand our repertoire and stimulate our own creativity." – Alicia F. Lieberman, University of California, San Francisco, USA"The coauthors have provided the reader with well-written pieces that are descriptive, wellreferenced, and cover a diversity of issues in the case studies. This book helps practitioners in early childhood learn, or remember, the importance of parent-child relationships and the long history of Freud's emphasis on the importance of paying attention to how young children grow." - Sandra R. Wolkoff, North Shore Child and Family Guidance Center, NY"Parents and Toddlers in Groups is refreshing, interesting and extremely engaging to read. The case studies are clear and illustrate the authors' careful consideration of context, the parents and toddlers needs and how best to adapt and modify the model to reach them and ensure that despite uncertainty or intrusion (people suddenly appearing in the group, toys damaged) the group space remains protected, welcoming and reflective for its members." - Elizabeth Murphy, South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK"This book succeeds brilliantly at illustrating the enormous value of the psychoanalytic parent-toddler group model developed at the Anna Freud Centre and now adopted around the world. The vivid examples enrich our appreciation for the inner life of toddlers and their active efforts to make themselves understood. The authors teach by example, sharing their extraordinary knowledge of this tumultuous but exhilarating age through tactful interventions that expand our repertoire and stimulate our own creativity." – Alicia F. Lieberman, University of California, San Francisco, USA"This succinct overview of the psychoanalytic approach applied to working with toddlers and their parents in a group setting succeeds brilliantly...and...is done in such an effortless and lucid manner that it becomes completely accessible to those unfamiliar with this perspective. The sheer gusto for this way of thinking and working is like a wave of energy that surges through the book, capable of carrying anyone interested in this phase of growth all the way through." - Robin Balbernie, YoungMinds Magazine, Issue 112, June-July 2011"Parents and Toddlers in Groups is refreshing, interesting and extremely engaging to read... This book will be a welcome and helpful read for anyone working with parents and toddlers." - Elizabeth Murphy, Child and Adolescent Mental Health, February 2012Table of ContentsAcknowledgements.

Book SynopsisForced Endings in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis: Attachment and Loss in Retirement explores the ambivalence the therapist may feel about letting go of a professional role which has sustained them. Anne Power explores the process of closing a private practice, from the first ethical decision-making, through to the last day when the door of the therapy room shuts. She draws on the personal accounts of retired therapists and others who had to impose an ending on clients due to illness, in order to move house, to take maternity leave or a sabbatical. A forced ending is an intrusion of the clinician's own needs into the therapeutic space. Anne Power shows how this might compromise the work but may also be an opportunity for deeper engagement. Drawing on attachment theory to understand how the therapeutic couple cope with an imposed separation, Power includes interviews with therapists who took a temporary break to demonstrate the commTrade Review"In a long term therapy the retirement of the therapist, be it from age, illness, sabbatical, maternity or relocation, is a challenge to both patient and therapist. This book shows how thirteen therapists met that challenge. The author makes good use of attachment theory which provides a fascinating and appropriate over-arching framework for her analysis." - Colin Murray Parkes"A work of tremendous originality, Anne Power’s new book tackles the vital but hitherto much neglected subject of retirement with the depth of a great investigator and with the breadth of creative thinker. Drawing upon extensive primary research and sensitive clinical understanding, the author allows us all – whether old or young – to engage with key questions about endings and mortality with admirable sensitivity and compassion. This volume fills a huge gap in the mental health literature by examining not only the vicissitudes of retirement but, also, the heaving subject of endings more generally – whether traumatic or ordinary – in such a useful way." - Professor Brett Kahr, Senior Clinical Research Fellow in Psychotherapy and Mental Health at the Centre for Child Mental Health in London; Honorary Visiting Professor in the School of Arts at the University of Roehampton; and Consultant in Psychology to The Bowlby Centre"This book is timely and thought-provoking. It grasps the nettle of therapists’ retirement dilemmas firmly and skilfully. I found it very compelling reading, both because of its immediate relevance to therapists and supervisors today, and because the stories it traces in the retirees own words are so rich and engaging. This book is a masterpiece of qualitative research, drawing on thirteen in-depth interviews, as well as a broad range of additional sources. Anne Power poses and explores a multitude of questions about when, how, why and with what support and with what in mind can therapists tackle the issue of ending their working life. I was deeply moved, sobered, intrigued and inspired."- Roz Carroll, MA Cantab, UKCP reg psychotherapist, trainer on the MInster Centre MA in Integrative Psychotherapy"This is a wonderfully well written, sensitive and important book which examines, though interviews with therapists, the issues and challenges involved in the processes of retirement, ending and loss in a profession that has tended to avoid consideration of this significant aspect of life. An essential read for therapists of all ages in relation to their personal and professional journeys." - Dr Christine Driver, SAP and FPC Training Analyst, Supervisor, Director of Training, WPF Therapy "The displaced, spindly-legged chairs on the front cover of this book hint of a retirement filled with bleakness and isolation. I was glad, therefore, that Anne Power also explores forced ending as an opportunity rather than just a loss...I would definitely recommend this book to therapists or supervisors who are negotiating such endings." - Yvonne Farley, relationship and psychosexual therapist, Therapy Today"In a long term therapy the retirement of the therapist, be it from age, illness, sabbatical, maternity or relocation, is a challenge to both patient and therapist.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Mystery of Analytical Work
Book SynopsisThis book provides an exploration of the clinical practice of psychoanalysis and analytical psychology. It explores the ways psychoanalysts and other clinicians are taught to evade direct emotional connections with their patients. Sullivan, suggesting that relatedness is the basis of emotional health, examines the universal struggle between socially oriented energies that struggle toward truth and narcissistic impulses that push us to take refuge in lies. She maintains that, rather than making interpretations, it is the clinician's capacity to bring relatedness to the clinical encounter which is the crucial factor.Examining the work of both Jung and Bion, Sullivan draws on the overlap between their ideas on the psyche and the nature of the unconscious. The book uses clinical examples to examine the implications that these perspectives have for the practising therapist.Specific areas of discussion include: the creative unconscious the Trade Review"This is a marvellously integrative work. The author is a widely read Jungian analyst who has created bridges between depth psychology and Wilfred Bion's contributions as well as contextualizing each of them in the matrix of relatedness, extending the currently evolving two-person model of the analytic situation. Relatedness, she shows, is the sine qua non of being alive and consequently the real key to how analysis works. Analyst and analysand are both "patients" in the presence of emotions and the (unequal) effect of them upon each other. I recommend this book to all mental health professionals." – James Grotstein, Supervising Analyst, Psychoanalytic Center of California and New Center for Psychoanalysis, Los Angeles, USA "One of the most neglected features of theory and practice in psycho-analysis and psycho-analytic therapy is the simple fact that healing comes about through a relationship between two persons. Psychotherapy is not a thing, it is not a machine but a living relationship between two people. Healing comes about through an emotional contact; this contact is creative and healing. Barbara Sullivan has made this the corner-stone of her building and she has done it clearly and bravely. I say bravely because she challenges respected authors and shows how their tonal descriptions annihilate the personal. This is a wonderful book and will be a treasure for psychotherapists and patients. It also opens up a whole new vision of what psychotherapy will, I hope, become in the next few decades." - Neville Symington, author of A Pattern of Madness, Fellow of the British Psycho-Analytical Society and Past President of the Australian Psycho-Analytical Society "Sullivan explores the theories of two difficult analysts, Jung and Bion, explaining their ideas clearly and demonstrating how each of their perspectives enriches the other's. Her detailed clinical material makes her thinking come alive and should help clinicians of any perspective to deepen their work." - Marjorie Nathanson, Past President of the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco, and member of the IAAP Executive Committee "This is a generous and personal book which will contribute to the growing interest in the Jungian community in the links between Jung and Bion...The lucidity of Sullivan’s style will ensure a wide readership, not confined only to clinicians but to a wider public interested in culture, the arts and philosophy." – Geraldine Godsil, Journal of Analytical Psychology, 56, 2011 "This is a marvellously integrative work.
