Taylor & Francis Ltd The Widening Scope of Shame
Book SynopsisThe Widening Scope of Shame is the first collection of papers on shame to appear in a decade and contains contributions from most of the major authors currently writing on this topic. It is not a sourcebook, but a comprehensive introduction to clinical and theoretical perspectives on shame that is intended to be read cover to cover. The panoramic scope of this multidisciplinary volume is evidenced by a variety of clinically and developmentally grounded chapters; by chapters explicating the theories of Silvan Tomkins and Helen Block Lewis; and by chapters examining shame from the viewpoints of philosophy, social theory, and the study of family systems. A final section of brief chapters illuminates shame in relation to specific clinical problems and experiential contexts, including envy, attention deficit disorder, infertility, masochism, the medical setting, and religious experience. This collection will be of special interest to psychoanalytically oriented readTrade Review"The Widening Scope of Shame contains important groundwork both for future discussion about the treatment of shame and for further investigation into the intersection of shame with other emotional states. Finally, the volume has the potential to inspire new considerations into how shame and shame-related phenomena can converge with culturally specific norms about gender, sex, the life cycle, class, and race."- Pauline Phipps, Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences"[T]his book offers a breadth of perspective with deep clinical understanding. Well organized and up to date, it offers contributions to the literature on an emotion - at time neglected, at other overemphasized - that nonetheless plays a vital role in regulating human interaction."- Walter F.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Making a Difference in Patients Lives Emotional
Book SynopsisWinner of the 2009 Gradiva Award for Outstanding Psychoanalytic Publication!Within the title of her book, Making a Difference in Patients'' Lives, Sandra Buechler echoes the hope of all clinicians. But, she counters, experience soon convinces most of us that insight, on its own, is often not powerful enough to have a significant impact on how a life is actually lived. Many clinicians and therapists have turned toward emotional experience, within and outside the treatment setting, as a resource. How can the immense power of lived emotional experience be harnessed in the service of helping patients live richer, more satisfying lives?Most patients come into treatment because they are too anxious, or depressed, or don't seem to feel alive enough. Something is wrong with what they feel, or don't feel. Given that the emotions operate as a system, with the intensity of each affecting the level of all the others, it makes sense thTrade Review"Sandra Buechler breaks the mold with Making A Difference in Patients' Lives. Aimed at teaching and inspiring those who do clinical work, Dr. Buechler has produced an instructive clinical book that is both practical and poetic. Strongly advocating for deep emotional experience as essential for change, she does not hesitate to discuss her own feelings and what it means to her to be a therapist. She succeeds at a task that is rarely attempted - defining therapy as both deeply personal and profoundly professional." - Karen J. Maroda, Ph.D., ABPP, Medical College of Wisconsin"Dr. Buechler has again succeeded in integrating key principles of emotion theory and her psychodynamic approach to therapy. In this book the discussion of emotion-cognition interactions is quite sophisticated, as when she acknowledges the frequent occurrence of emotions in meaningful patterns. Her treatment of the potentially adaptive role of emotions in behavior change should prove quite helpful to practicing therapists." - Carroll E. Izard, Ph.D., Trustees Distinguished Professor, University of Delaware"In this remarkably influential volume, Sandra Buechler, a polished writer and seasoned clinician, not only shares her evolving ideas about how to become a better psychoanalyst, but also, in so doing, provides a synthesis of emotion theory with what self psychologists have long understood about the powerful use of the empathic mode in promoting therapeutic change… a unique and important contribution to the psychoanalytic self psychology literature…. Buechler’s ideas are relevant to all psychotherapists utilizing a psychoanalytic framework for understanding the treatment process, not only to psychoanalysts training candidates in formal psychoanalytic institutes. Tightly organized and highly informative." - Linda A. Chernus, Psychoanalytic Social Work"Sandra Buechler, a wise psychoanalytic psychotherapist in New York City...brings her human experience as woman and mother, as a participant in the human condition, to bear on her work as therapist. It is a splendid book by an experienced clinician and teacher, an eloquent self-portrait of an active and committed therapist, brimming with clinical examples and helpful advice to both beginners and veterans in the field. It is a clarion call for emphasizing the role of emotions in life and in therapy rather than of intellectualized insight and theory... Buechler's book is a passionate segue and reaffirmation of the basic Freudian method....Buechler's pre-eminent focus on feelings and emotions and the life histories of her patients ...enabled her to build many bridges of emotional sharing between patient and therapist as they journey together, temporarily or interminably, in search of love, justice, and truth, making a difference where they can." - Zvi Lothane, M.D., The American Journal of Psychoanalysis"An overview, exploration and celebration of her life's work, Sandra Buechler's book is a passionate exegisis about what she believes to be the core and curative potential of the therapeutic relationship...Communicating a very intimate and vivid sense of her work as an analyst, Buechler describes emotion theory and how it shapes her interpersonal perspective, and proposes that a full understanding and deployment of therapeutic impact is best served from within this framework...Her voice is a lively, honest, and compelling one, and at times quite moving, as she weaves together an exposition of her theoretical principles and techniques with clinical scenarios, moments from poetry and literature, and meditations about mortality... Buechler brings a creative, fertile, and imaginative way of thinking to a discussion of psychoanalytic process, one that can usefully stir one's thinking, one's own associations, and one's emotional life no matter what theoretical orientation one brings, or tries not to bring, to the consulting room." - Daria Colombo, International Journal of Psychoanalysis "A book notable for the author's refreshing style, by turns conversational, poetic, and down-to-earth." - Dwarakanath G. Rao, Journal of the American Psychoanalytic AssociationTable of ContentsIntroduction: Meaningfully Impacting Patients' Lives. Basic Assumptions About Human Emotions.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Influence and Autonomy in Psychoanalysis
Book SynopsisStephen A. Mitchell has been at the forefront of the broad paradigmatic shift in contemporary psychoanalysis from the traditional one-person model to a two-person, interactive, relational perspective. In Influence and Autonomy in Psychoanalysis, Mitchell provides a critical, comparative framework for exploring the broad array of concepts newly developed for understanding interactive processes between analysand and analyst. Drawing on the broad traditions of Kleinian theory and interpersonal psychoanalysis, as well as object relations and progressive Freudian thought, he considers in depth the therapeutic action of psychoanalysis, anachronistic ideals like anonymity and neutrality, the nature of analytic knowledge and authority, and the problems of gender and sexual orientation in the age of postmodernism. The problem of influence guides his discussion of these and other topics. How, Mitchell asks, can analytic clinicians best protect the Trade Review"Among the issues that matter now to psychoanalysts, none outweighs the one Stephen Mitchell takes up here: how, paradoxically, whatever shred of autonomy each of us has in creating ourselves as human beings might be enhanced by a treatment in which we expect to be influenced by the authority and knowledge of another person. He demonstrates a breathtaking capacity to open up the theoretical labyrinth that has been constructed in the psychoanalytic literature to address this and related questions and to illuminate the clinical situations in which they prove especially troubling. As has been the case for almost two decades, Mitchell keeps his writing hand on the pulse of contemporary psychoanalysis. Influence and Autonomy in Psychoanalysis, like Mitchell's previous books, will be widely read and discussed by admirers and critics alike, and this because Mitchell continues to capture with astonishing precision and prescience, as well as great writing, not only where the cutting edge of analytic work and debate is at the moment, bu where they are heading."- Charles Spezzano, Ph.D., Psychoanalytic Institute of Northern California"It seems to me that Mitchell's outstanding psychoanalytic contributions have been building toward this invaluable book in which, with characteristic erudition, wisdom, and humor, he refines and extends the careful comparative psychoanalytic study he has been carrying out in recent years. Focusing on the central problem of influence in analytic treatment, Mitchell offers a cogent critique, anchored in evocative clinical vignettes, of various schools of analytic thought, and builds on it to present his own conception of clinical psychoanalysis as a method for generating a particular kind of meaning and fostering a way of life. In clear and readable prose, Mitchell makes a case for retaining autonomy and authenticity as primary analytic objectives to be achieved through interpersonal influence rather than despite it. Influence and Autonomy in Psychoanalysis is a marvelously rich, quietly courageous work that shows us where we've come in psychoanalysis and where we need to be heading."- Owen Renik, M.D., San Francisco Psychoanalytic Institute“Stephen Mitchell, one of the most original and insightful analytic theorists and clinicians writing today, distinguishes himself in Influence and Autonomy in Psychoanalysis as one of today’s finest teachers of the theory and practice of psychoanalysis. He is without peer in the breadth and depth of his understanding of the movement, interplay, and direction of ideas constituting contemporary psychoanalytic thought. In Mitchell’s hands, creativity and spontaneity on the part of the analyst live comfortably with careful and rigorous listening, observing, and thinking. This book is a wonderful contribution with which to mark the beginning of the second century of the practice of psychoanalysis.”- Thomas Ogden, M.D., Center for the Advanced Studies of the PsychosesTable of ContentsPrologue: Interaction and the Problem of Technique.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Coasting in the Countertransference
Book SynopsisWinner of the 2009 Goethe Award for Psychoanalytic Scholarship!Irwin Hirsch, author of Coasting in the Countertransference, asserts that countertransference experience always has the potential to be used productively to benefit patients. However, he also observes that it is not unusual for analysts to ''coast'' in their countertransferences, and to not use this experience to help treatment progress toward reaching patients'' and analysts'' stated analytic goals. He believes that it is quite common that analysts who have some conscious awareness of a problematic aspect of countertransference participation, or of a mutual enactment, nevertheless do nothing to change that participation and to use their awareness to move the therapy forward. Instead, analysts may prefer to maintain what has developed into perhaps a mutually comfortable equilibrium in the treatment, possibly rationalizing that the patient is not yet ready to Trade Review"For several decades, Irwin Hirsch has been one of the most sought after teachers and supervisors in New York. Read this book and you'll know why! As clinicians we all find ourselves ‘coasting in the countertransference,’ and so Irwin Hirsch's sharp and honest self-reflective accounting of how we permit our self-interest to dominate our clinical work will speak to all practicing psychotherapists and psychoanalysts. Hirsch is a clear and sensible writer who uses his many years of hands-on experience to bring clinical reality to life. Patients and analysts have a great deal of mutual investment in their collaborative relational work, but we also are motivated by self-interest and Hirsch explores the ways in which we tend to maintain our own safety and comfort rather than risk the tension that comes with confronting and modifying our own self-gratification for the patient's benefit. All clinicians need to read this book." - Lewis Aron, Director, New York University Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis, USA"I have long admired Dr. Hirsch’s many cogent and lucid contributions to psychoanalysis. In this courageous and radical book, Dr. Hirsch, like Diogenes, has held a light up to our profoundest unspoken taboo; that is, how we, operating as real people in a real social context, may put our own interests ahead of those of our patients. Not, one notes, out of a dissociated countertransference or projective identification, but in the Sartrean sense, out of our own bad faith. We know what to do, but don’t do it because our own needs interfere. Successful outcomes of therapy may depend at least as much on our willingness to confront and struggle with these issues as on our vaunted metapsychologies. For this long-overdue insight, we – analysts and patients alike – are deeply indebted to Dr. Hirsch." - Edgar A. Levenson, Training and Supervising Analyst, William Alanson White Institute, USA"By writing Coasting in the Countertransference, Irwin Hirsch performed a service for the field of psychoanalysis. This courageous, and badly needed, book opens up an aspect of psychoanalytic work that has long remained cloaked in silence. With admirable honesty, Hirsch describes the way that his own self-interest, as well as that of other therapists, has, at times, affected, and skewed, the analytic work. In discussing these matters openly, and by seeking to explore the factors that contributed to them, Hirsch not only sets an example for us all, but advances our understanding of a critically important, and much neglected, aspect of the analyst’s subjectivity. This is a groundbreaking book, and one that no one engaged in treating patients can afford not to read." - Theodore Jacobs, Training and Supervising Analyst, New York Psychoanalytic Institute, USA"Psychoanalysis teaches us that in our work we seek to gratify unconscious needs and wishes. It couldn't be otherwise. Nevertheless, the dimensions of our self-interest in analytic work are only beginning to undergo systematic elaboration. In this superb new volume, Irwin Hirsch courageously examines his own self-interest without flinching and thereby encourages the rest of us to do the same. The reader will resonate again and again with Hirsch's observations and insights about what drives us to return to the consulting room day after day and enter the darkest recesses of the human soul. Both trainees and experienced analysts will benefit from spending time with this provocative and original contribution to the psychoanalytic literature." - Glen O. Gabbard, Brown Foundation Chair of Psychoanalysis and Professor of Psychiatry, Baylor College of Medicine, USA"In this very original work, Irwin Hirsch forthrightly describes the conflicts of self-interest between analyst and patient that are conscious to the analyst. Hirsch’s writing is characterized by honesty and personal courage. The book is lucid and jargon-free, which makes it a pleasure to read....There is much clinical wisdom condensed in a very accessible form in this relatively small book. This book admirably fulfills the purpose for which it is written, and the author is clearly very competent on the subject." - Paul Steinberg, Canadian Journal of Psychiatry, Vol. 53, Vol. 11, 2008 "Irwin Hirsch has written a highly readable and courageous exploration of the conflicts of self-interest between analyst and patient. Philosophical in its tone, Coasting in the Countertransference allows the reader to come to his or her own conclusions about what is inevitable and what is not. Reading this book may change the way some people practice. It is a theoretically and clinically provocative book that challenges us to face ourselves." - Karen J. Maroda, Psychologist-Psychoanalyst, 2008"Hirsch is candid to a fault as he delves into several categories of analytic pitfalls. His observations will be challenging and thought-provoking for all readers. I came away with great respect for his analytic acumen and his capacity for relentless self-scrutiny...his book is full of clinical gems, and all analysts will benefit from reading it - especially if it encourages them to emulate Hirsch's exemplary self-scrutiny." - Richard M. Waugaman, Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association, 2009"With no small measures of profound honesty and revealing personal candor, Hirsch has written an important and compelling book that aspires to unvarnished psychoanalytic and subjective truths, and privileges attention to the "here-and-now" immediacies of psychoanalytic presence and interpersonal engagement, authenticity, and participation. I found that it made an immediate impact on my clinical work, and believe it makes an essential contribution to the contemporary psychoanalytic literature." - Stefan R.
