Taylor & Francis Passion Shame and the Freedom to Become
Book SynopsisThis book examines how humans can overcome feelings of shame through selfâacceptance and regain their innate passion and freedom to grow.Peter Shabad examines in detail how self-shaming and passivity are intertwined with the fatalism of self-pity, envy, resentment, and ultimately, regret for not seizing the vital moments in life. From birth on, children attempt to contribute to the human endeavor through their innate passion. Parental receptivity enables a child to plant seeds of belonging, inspiring the generative passion necessary for furthering development. Exposed vulnerability due to the lack of receptivity leads to feelings of shame and self-consciousness; as human beings, we interpret our misfortunes and limitations as punishments and reverse our passion into an inhibited passivity. Shabad envisions psychotherapy as a pathway through which individuals learn to inclusively accept all aspects of their inner lives in order to embark on their journey of self-acceptance. He

Taylor & Francis Reading Lacans Écrits
Book SynopsisThe Écrits was Jacques Lacan's single most important text, a landmark in psychoanalysis which epitomized his aim of returning to Freud via structural linguistics, philosophy and literature. Reading Lacan's Écrits is the first extensive set of commentaries on the complete edition of Lacan's Écrits to be published in English. An invaluable document in the history of psychoanalysis, and one of the most challenging intellectual works of the twentieth century, Lacan's Écrits still today begs the interpretative engagement of clinicians, scholars, philosophers and cultural theorists. The three volumes of Reading Lacan's Écrits offer just this: a series of systematic paragraph-by-paragraph commentaries by some of the world's most renowned Lacanian analysts and scholars on the complete edition of the Écrits, inclusive of lesser known articles such as Kant with Sade', The Youth of Gide', Science and Truth', Presentation on Transference' and BTrade Review"It all began with an improbable wager: ask 35 scholars to each write something intelligible about every single paragraph in one of the texts included in Jacques Lacan's magnum opus, Écrits, so as to generate a commentary on the entire 800-page volume. And yet, after years of preparation, the wager has paid off: we have here useful and at times brilliant examples of textual explication! Cryptic formulations are lucidly unpacked, and mysterious references are provided, giving the serious reader myriad keys to fascinating texts"-Bruce Fink, translator of Écrits: The First Complete Edition in English"Let’s face it: Lacan’s Écrits, one of the classical texts of modern thought are unreadable - they remain impenetrable if we just pick the thick volume up and start to read it. Neill, Vanheule and Hook provide what we were all waiting for: a detailed commentary which does not aim to replace reading ECRITS but to render it possible. The three volumes do wonder, their effect is no less than magic: when, after getting stuck at a particularly dense page of Écrits, we turn to the corresponding pages in the commentary and then return to the page of Écrits which pushed us to madness, the same lines appear in all the clarity of their line of thought. It is thus a safe prediction that Neill, Vanheule and Hook’s commentary will become a kind of permanent companion of the English translation of Écrits, indispensable for everyone who wants to find her or his way in its complex texture."-Slavoj Zizek"Lacan’s teaching is notoriously hard to access and comprehend. But this is done on purpose: to understanding the psyche, the subject and its interaction with socio-political reality cannot be a piecemeal operation. One needs to take into account the paradoxical and often counterintuitive effects of unconscious mechanisms, and of the extimate operation of the real within and beyond the symbolic and the imaginary. Coupling exegesis with multi-level interpretations, the numerous texts in this volume advance a commentary, both informative and suggestive, that will immensely help readers navigate the archipelago of the Lacanian Écrits, without reducing in the least their complexity and inspirational value, without sacrificing their ability to surprise, provoke and jolt us out of our complacency."-Yannis Stavrakakis, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki"These essays will be an invaluable resource not only for those approaching the Écrits for the first time but also for seasoned readers. Broad in scope yet following the detail of the text, they help guide us through Lacan's difficult prose, elucidating, contextualising and clarifying, and reminding us time and time again of the precision, power and originality of his rethinking of psychoanalysis".-Darian Leader"It all began with an improbable wager: ask 35 scholars to each write something intelligible about every single paragraph in one of the texts included in Jacques Lacan's magnum opus, Écrits, so as to generate a commentary on the entire 800-page volume.

Taylor & Francis Ltd (Sales) Cyclical Psychodynamics and the Contextual Self
Book SynopsisCyclical Psychodynamics and the Contextual Self articulates in new ways the essential features and most recent extensions of Paul Wachtel''s powerfully integrative theory of cyclical psychodynamics. Wachtel is widely regarded as the leading advocate for integrative thinking in personality theory and the theory and practice of psychotherapy. He is a contributor to cutting edge thought in the realm of relational psychoanalysis and to highlighting the ways in which the relational point of view provides especially fertile ground for integrating psychoanalytic insights with the ideas and methods of other theoretical and therapeutic orientations. In this book, Wachtel extends his integration of psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, systemic, and experiential viewpoints to examine closely the nature of the inner world of subjectivity, its relation to the transactional world of daily life experiences, and the impact on both the larger social and cultural forces that both shaTrade Review"For nearly four decades Paul Wachtel has been one of the great integrative thinkers in the field of psychotherapy. In Cyclical Psychodynamics and the Contextual Self he has really outdone himself! Wachtel applies his cyclical psychodynamic perspective breathtakingly to a wide range of clinically central issues, including the importance of the larger social and cultural context. A must read!" - Robert D. Stolorow, Ph.D., author of World, Affectivity, Trauma: Heidegger and Post-Cartesian Psychoanalysis (Routledge, 2011) "Wachtel has once again produced a mighty work of astonishing brilliance and enduring value. Cyclical Psychodynamics and the Contextual Self is a rich and ambitious contemplation on the contemporary debates in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis by a pioneering clinician, a teacher and thinker with sparkling erudition, and a gifted writer. He examines our clinical beliefs and practices with a keen eye, an attuned ear, and a humane heart. His perceptive critiques on the world of society and culture are dispatches from the trenches. I love this book for its vividness, vitality, and vision." - Spyros D. Orfanos, Ph.D., ABPP, Clinic Director, New York University Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis"Paul Wachtel’s cyclical psychodynamic theory may be the most important integrative theory of psychotherapy, bringing together a dizzying array of diverse literatures. Wachtel’s range is astonishing, but he doesn’t stop with mere comprehension. Even more interesting and significant than Wachtel’s grasp is his capacity to bring all these theories into meaningful relation with one another. - Donnel B. Stern, Ph.D., William Alanson White Institute; NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy"Paul Wachtel is in the vanguard of a group of seminal thinkers who are shaping what might be seen as the entrance of psychoanalysis into its "relational era." This book makes it even clearer why Wachtel's integrative theory of cyclical psychodynamics is acknowledged within and beyond the field of psychoanalysis as such a unique and powerful force in the ongoing evolution of personality theory and psychotherapy.Wachtel has written both a theoretical tour de force and an immensely practical guide to clinical practice. "– Philip Bromberg, author The Shadow of the Tsunami: and the Growth of the Relational Mind (Routledge, 2011) "How an integrationist approach relates to clinical work is masterfully demonstrated by Paul Wachtel in his brilliant new book. Wachtel writes in an engaging and accessible style and offers numerous clinical examples of the relational processes that influence the perpetuation of suboptimal patterns in our daily lives, as well as the vicious circles that characterize social phenomena, such as race relations. It is an outstanding contribution to the psychoanalytic field and one that I unreservedly recommend to novice and experienced clinicians alike." - Paul Renn, author, The Silent Past and the Invisible Present: Memory, Trauma, and Representation in Psychotherapy (Routledge, 2012)"Wachtel writes accessibly and with humour. He honestly acknowledges ‘the messy complexities of practice’. We surely need more of this kind of accessible integration of the sociocultural as well as the intrapsychic and the interpersonal. I would certainly commend this as an important book that deserves to be widely studied in all integrative training."- Colin Feltham, Emeritus Professor of Critical Counselling Studies at Sheffield Hallam University for Therapy Today"For nearly four decades Paul Wachtel has been one of the great integrative thinkers in the field of psychotherapy.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Psychoanalytic Therapy with Infants and their Parents
Book SynopsisPsychoanalytic Therapy with Infants and Parents provides a clear guide to clinical psychoanalytic work with distressed babies and unhappy parents, a numerous clinical group so often in need of urgent help. Although psychoanalytic work is primarily verbal, and infants may have limited language, this form of treatment is receiving increased attention among therapists. Björn Salomonsson explores how such work can be possible and benefit infants, how to work with the parents (especially the mother), and how major psychoanalytic concepts such as primal repression, infantile sexuality and transference can be worked with and understood in these therapies. Björn Salomonsson argues that attachment concepts, though important, cannot solely help explain everyday problems with breastfeeding, sleeping, and weaning, or more recalcitrant interaction disorders. He shows how we also need psychoanalytic concepts to better understand, not only such bTrade Review"Talking to babies is usually associated with "babyish" talk, or at the most, with "motherese"… This book is about "talking true" to the baby and to his/her parents altogether; naming their affects and wondering about their representations one of the other. …The clinical vignettes used throughout the book illustrate, in a lively and simple manner, the ways the baby plays a role by its very presence in the therapy room… The author is one of the few clinicians who have dared to quantify the impact of psychoanalytical treatment." - Miri Keren, M.D., WAIMH President. "This extraordinary, ground-breaking work introduces us to a newly emerging psychoanalytic field, that of the application of psychoanalytic theory and technique; not just to the traditional infant/mother dyad, but to the infant in his/her own right separately as well as together with mother. … Central to the author’s point of view is his innovative belief that even the youngest infants can communicate and understand communication by virtue of their ability to employ an inchoate, pre-lexical, affect-based language including, signs, prosody, gestures, and priming." - James S. Grotstein"This book is not only fascinating. It also has the courage to open up a new and original thread of research in psychoanalysis, namely the exploration of the "basic grammar" of the baby worries. No child is too young to be listened to, understood and if necessary addressed. …This is not only a ground-breaking text in the field of theory. It is also a comprehensive handbook, full of precious data on the practice of infant-parent psychotherapy. It will provide a revolution for all professionals working with babies." - Antonino Ferro, is President of the Italian Psychoanalytic Society and also Consultant Associate Editor of the International Journal of Psychoanalysis. "Salomonsson's writing is clear, elegant and engaging. The fact that he draws from fields as varied as clinical work with infants, several veins of psychoanalytic theory, the philosophy of language, developmental psychology, neuropsychoanalyis, and Wagner's opera Tristan und Isolde means that his readers are in for a bit of vigorous mental exercise. I believe that they will find the effort worthwhile and that, by the end, they will find that their own conceptions of the talking cure have expanded." - Paul M. Brinich, PsycCRITIQUES"Talking to babies is usually associated with "babyish" talk, or at the most, with "motherese"… This book is about "talking true" to the baby and to his/her parents altogether; naming their affects and wondering about their representations one of the other. …The clinical vignettes used throughout the book illustrate, in a lively and simple manner, the ways the baby plays a role by its very presence in the therapy room… The author is one of the few clinicians who have dared to quantify the impact of psychoanalytical treatment." - Miri Keren, M.D., WAIMH President.

Brinich, PsycCRITIQUES"This book asks important questions. What goes on in a baby’s mind? How do we account for this? Can a baby have a relationship with the therapist? If so, how? How do we understand and define this relationship? Significantly, the author distinguishes between infantile transference and what he calls ‘infant transference’, and argues that it is possible that the infant unconsciously and therefore directly transfers onto the therapist feelings that might originally belong in his relationship with his parents. And, how do we understand the unconscious from a developmental perspective? Is there such a thing? Could psychoanalysis be part of a convincing evidence base for work with infants and parents?" - Chau-Yee Lo, Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Table of ContentsIntroduction.

Taylor & Francis Understanding and Healing Emotional Trauma
Book SynopsisUnderstanding and Healing Emotional Trauma is an interdisciplinary book which explores our current understanding of the forces involved in both the creation and healing of emotional trauma. Through engaging conversations with pioneering clinicians and researchers, Daniela F. Sieff offers accessible yet substantial answers to questions such as: What is emotional trauma? What are the causes? What are its consequences? What does it mean to heal emotional trauma? and How can healing be achieved? These questions are addressed through three interrelated perspectives: psychotherapy, neurobiology and evolution. Psychotherapeutic perspectives take us inside the world of the unconscious mind and body to illuminate how emotional trauma distorts our relationships with ourselves and with other people (Donald Kalsched, Bruce Lloyd, Tina Stromsted, Marion Woodman). Neurobiological perspectives explore how trauma impacts the systems that mediate our emotTrade Review"Bringing together leading practitioners, researchers, and scholars from all over the world, this collection of diverse perspectives on trauma offers an in-depth, comprehensive, and holistic view of the effects of emotional trauma on our brain, mind, and body. The thoughtprovoking, yet accessible content communicates how distinct professional disciplines in the field of trauma may have many connecting threads. Whether you are an expert in the trauma field or are personally struggling with the aftermath of trauma, this book will provide refreshing new material and expand your scientific and emotional understanding of trauma." – Christine Valdez, PhD, Trauma Psychology, American Psychological Association "As interviewer, Sieff is a subtle and discreet weaver, drawing together the stands of her subjects’ ideas. By the end of the book, the reader has the sense of how distinct professional disciplines in the field of trauma, and its healing through therapy, have many connecting threads… The book also affirms the view that psychotherapy can help and importantly, shines a light on how it does. There is clearly much still to discover but Sieff’s book has an important contribution to make to our integrated, holistic understanding of trauma." – Tamsin Cottis, Attachment: New Directions in Psychotherapy and Relational Psychoanalysis"This is an intriguing, informative and illustrative book which communicates thought provoking content through an interesting format... I enjoyed this book and found it rich, varied, compelling and thought-provoking. At several times since reading it I have thought of it in relation to work I have been engaged in or colleagues I know. Some aspects of it have stayed with me, like the best and most memorable conversations. The range of perspectives discussed adds to the resonance." – Martin Smith, Out of Hours Mental Health Team Buckinghamshire, Journal of Social Work Practice"The interview style of this book creates a stimulating yet accessible read of otherwise complex and profound ideas and concepts. Sieff’s well-informed comments and insightful questioning stimulates a rich conversation with the contributors, and often pre-empts the reader’s own thoughts." – Kirsten M Talbot, Clinical Psychologist, Journal of Child and Adolescent Mental Health"The book creates a common ground where science and research meets compassion and care. Whether you are an expert in the topic of trauma or a parent seeking information on parenting, this book provides essential information that will expand your scientific and emotional understanding on the subject." – Anny Reyes, International Journal of Psychotherapy "Understanding and Healing Emotional Trauma drew me through the chapters leaving me asking questions and wanting to read on…As a person working through my trauma this book helped me to see areas I can work on and also inspired me towards reading further, and reading about some of the latest research in the new field of evolutionary psychology was exciting." – Rhiannon Jehu, Alcohol and Alcoholism"In her book Understanding and Healing Emotional Trauma: Conversations with Pioneering Clinicians and Researchers, Daniela Sieff gives us an opportunity to get into the minds and hearts of leading practitioners and researchers in fields related to trauma. Her insightful questions illicit a depth of knowledge and reflection rare in traditional textbooks, offering the reader journeys into the evolving field of trauma treatment." - Lisa Danylchuk, EdM, LMFT, E-RYT, GoodTherapy.org"The final section on evolution brings refreshing new material to challenge our assumptions about attachment and appropriate maternal behaviour...I would recommend this book on the basis of this section alone, but there are many other nuggets concealed within – a book not to be taken in one sitting but offering rich pickings."- Chris Rose, Therapy Today"This is a treasure chest of diverse perspectives on trauma. We are treated to a satisfying mix of leading evolutionary thinkers, stellar neurobiological researchers and distinguished Jungian and other psychotherapists, all offering rich and in-depth insights on a subject that requires inter-disciplinary joined-up thinking. Most importantly, the interview style works, and Sieff’s sensitive question-posing and surefooted comments and editing make the reading easy, vibrant and always stimulating." - Graham Music is a Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychotherapists at the Tavistock and Portman Clinics in London, UK, and author of Nurturing Natures and The Good Life."Insightful and thought provoking: Sieff opens our eyes to a deeper understanding of how the brain, mind, and body can heal following emotional trauma. Interviews with pioneering psychotherapists, theorists, neurobiologists, and evolutionary researchers help us bridge the gap between clinical practice, theory, and research. A must read for all clinicians and researchers seeking insight into the workings of the mind following psychological trauma, as well as for lay-readers who seek to understand their own trauma and how it might be healed." - Ruth A Lanius, MD, PhD, Harris Woodman Chair, Professor of Psychiatry, University of Western Ontario"This compelling collection of interviews with outstanding scholars and therapists of our day offers a creative and comprehensive understanding of trauma and its effects. Sieff’s book reveals her unique ability to distil the essence of the ideas of each of her subjects into a series of succinct but profound questions. She has shaped their replies into a book in which complex ideas concerning trauma are presented in an accessible conceptual frame. As such it will be of interest to many and a significant new resource for those who seek to integrate the best of the new thinking concerning trauma into their clinical practice." - Margaret Wilkinson, Jungian training analyst and author of Coming into Mind and Changing Minds in Therapy."In my work with business leaders and leadership teams, in my own professional and private life, and in my role as a parent, I am continually reminded of the importance of emotional and psychological health. Daniela has made accessible the latest, fascinating thinking of the pioneers of trauma and healing. I highly recommend 'Understanding and Healing Emotional Trauma' to all those seeking a deeper, yet practical and readable understanding of the process of healing trauma to create emotional well-being – whether for their work, or for their personal lives." - Michael Rennie, Global Leader, Organisation, People and Leadership Practice, McKinsey & Co Management Consultants."[The] author's unique attempt to engage practitioners/scholars from three different perspectives (psychotherapy, neurobiology and evolution) is laudable [...] Perhaps what distinguishes this book from so many others is that it engages the reader in an internal open dialogue. [...] Sieff's Understanding and Healing Emotional Trauma: Conversations with Pioneering Clinicians and Researchers is a well-organized book that provides multiple perspectives on issues pertaining to trauma." -Victoria A. Comerchero, PsyCRITIQUES 2015"The most striking feature of this book is not its content--excellent though that is--but its unusual format. [...] The result combines the accessible informality of the interview format with the depth and complexity of written work. There is a genuine sense of dialogue here that is refreshing and illuminating. [...] The fact that she is not a therapist herself enables her to retain the perspective of those that seek help rather than those who provide it, while her academic background provides an intellectual rigour that is indepedent of professional agendas [...] It is a rare achievement to produce a book that can satisfy both kinds of audience." -Warren Colman, Society of Analytical Psychology, Journal of Analytical Psychology"The book's thesis rests on Sieff's belief that the healing of trauma's wounds is enhanced by a comprehensive and nuanced appreciation for its multidimensional nature. Through a collection of carefully constructed, in-depth interviews with recognized experts, Sieff explores trauma's psychological, neurobiological and evolutionary roots, building a case for a broad, synergistic and evidence-based understanding of trauma's causes and functions...[Three] interviews offer anthropological explanations for the wide spectrum of sensitivities and responses to potentially traumatizing event.s They also provide a historic lens, helpful in viewing and interpreting the ways in which individuals and groups choose adaptive or maladaptive behaviors in response to their environments. Students of social, political and institutional systems may find this section of particular value." -Keith Goheen MDiv BCC, Chaplain, Beebe Healthcare, Lewes, DE, APC Forum"This is an unusual book in its scope and form... [The] book does more than provide valuable exposition from significant pioneers in their respective specialist fields. The author brings herself to the book too. At many points, her questions and expressed thoughts take the conversations further and deeper, and we have a sense of minds meeting to generate new ideas... With its highly individual contributors, Ms Sieff's book illustrates beautifully the significance of the unique voice and it is a way in which the form of the book reflects the process and ideas expressed within it... Sieff's book has an important contribution to make to our integrated, holistic understanding of trauma." - Tamsin Cottis, Attachments"The fact that author Daniela Sieff is not a psychotherapist, though she is an experienced client, proves a great strength of the book because her enquiry is powerfully shaped by the client position. In addition, she has utilised her skills as an academic evolutionary antrhopologist and field research... Throughout the book, we feel the thoroughness, and at the same time the personal and professional passion that organises this search... This book has the potential to engage and satisfy many different kinds of readers from therapy trainees to those who already know the trauma field quite well. But I aws especially struck by how it might appeal to those who are not trained health professionals, who desperately want answers to so many questions about the nature of their trauma and the lengthy process of healing. I think the format of posing the questions and exploring them in real depth, with links being made, and clinical illustration, really meets that burning need that so many have for answers to all the whys... Despite the uniqueness of every individual's experience and the range of traumas experienced, many readers will recognise their own story in this book." -Roz Carroll, The Minster Cetnre, London, Body, Movement and Dance in Psychotherapy"This is a treasure chest of diverse perspectives on trauma. We are treated to a satisfying mix of leading evolutionary thinkers, stellar neurobiological researchers and distinguished Jungian and other psychotherapists, all offering rich and in-depth insights on a subject that requires inter-disciplinary joined-up thinking. Most importantly, the interview style works, and Sieff’s sensitive question-posing and surefooted comments and editing make the reading easy, vibrant and always stimulating." - Graham Music is a Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychotherapists at the Tavistock and Portman Clinics in London, UK, and author of Nurturing Natures and The Good Life."Insightful and thought provoking: Sieff opens our eyes to a deeper understanding of how the brain, mind, and body can heal following emotional trauma. Interviews with pioneering psychotherapists, theorists, neurobiologists, and evolutionary researchers help us bridge the gap between clinical practice, theory, and research. A must read for all clinicians and researchers seeking insight into the workings of the mind following psychological trauma, as well as for lay-readers who seek to understand their own trauma and how it might be healed." - Ruth A Lanius, MD, PhD, Harris Woodman Chair, Professor of Psychiatry, University of Western Ontario"This compelling collection of interviews with outstanding scholars and therapists of our day offers a creative and comprehensive understanding of trauma and its effects. Sieff’s book reveals her unique ability to distil the essence of the ideas of each of her subjects into a series of succinct but profound questions. She has shaped their replies into a book in which complex ideas concerning trauma are presented in an accessible conceptual frame. As such it will be of interest to many and a significant new resource for those who seek to integrate the best of the new thinking concerning trauma into their clinical practice." - Margaret Wilkinson, Jungian training analyst and author of Coming into Mind and Changing Minds in Therapy."In my work with business leaders and leadership teams, in my own professional and private life, and in my role as a parent, I am continually reminded of the importance of emotional and psychological health. Daniela has made accessible the latest, fascinating thinking of the pioneers of trauma and healing. I highly recommend 'Understanding and Healing Emotional Trauma' to all those seeking a deeper, yet practical and readable understanding of the process of healing trauma to create emotional well-being – whether for their work, or for their personal lives." - Michael Rennie, Global Leader, Organisation, People and Leadership Practice, McKinsey & Co Management Consultants.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements.
