Taylor & Francis Inc Cancer and Creativity

15 in stock

Book SynopsisCancer and Creativity is a dialogue between accounts by cancer patients and survivors and a more clinical consideration and theoretical discussion from a psychoanalytic point of view of using creativity in coping with serious illness. The contributions featured demonstrate the power of creative expression as a tool for dealing with somatic, chronic and potentially life-threatening illnesses, giving patients a way of expressing and managing their individual cancer journeys and its attendant emotional sequelae.Ten artist-patients and survivors, who were involved in several long-term art therapy groups, give accounts of their experiences with cancer and with their support group, where they create paintings, embroidery, digital photography, comic books, maps and other works to express their experiences of being diagnosed and treated for cancer. The contributors describe their symptoms and their relationships to physicians and family members in words and visual representaTrade Review"Cancer and Creativity is an outstanding book that combines patients’ experiences as displayed through art with an editor and clinician who has worked with people with cancer through art for many years. Esther has been a long time member of my UCLA Pediatric Pain Program and has worked with adult patients with cancer at UCLA for many years. As an artist and psychoanalyst, as well as a trained art therapist, she blends her skills, training, and experience to bring together a "must read" for any individual coping with cancer or any clinician who works with individuals who have cancer. This amazing book is also a resource for any clinician who wants to understand the psychodynamics of individuals with cancer through the media of art. Actually it is a fascinating book for any reader!"-Lonnie Zeltzer, MD, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, USA"Cancer and Creativity offers the reader coherent ways of coping – even mastering – the overwhelming traumata associated with a cancer diagnosis. Dr. Dreifuss-Kattan explains and convincingly demonstrates how and why art making can heal the psychological damage connected with cancer. Using a wide range of art materials and artistic projects including digital photography, paper cutouts, installations as well as traditional materials such as paint or clay, the authors provide eloquent examples of how a reader could learn to work effectively with patients who might otherwise seem beyond reach.This book is a gift to all clinicians working with cancer patients."-Laurie Wilson, Ph.D., A.T.R., New York University, USA"Walter Benjamin said that 'Relationships to objects and images can be mysterious and speak to a deep desire for the renewal of the old with the new'. The psychoanalyst and artist Dr. Dreifuss-Kattan enables cancer patients in a very impressive way to find a new psychic integration through creative work in view of their life-threatening illness. She lets us readers participate in her sensitive and touching accompaniment of her patients' journey into the unconscious - to the boundaries between life and death. A unique combination of art and psychoanalysis in the service of the patient in existential crises. An innovative, very readable book."-Marianne Leuzinger-Bohleber, Ph.D., Vicechair of the Research Board of the International Psychoanalytical Association, training analyst and former director of the Sigmund-Freud-Institute, Frankfurt am Main, GermanyTable of ContentsIntroduction Esther Dreifuss-Kattan and Art by Teresa O’Rourke 1.

Taylor & Francis Bion and Meltzers Expeditions into Unmapped

15 in stock

Book SynopsisDrawing on the influential contributions of Wilfred Bion and Donald Meltzer to psychoanalysis, Bion and Meltzer's Expeditions into Unmapped Mental Life explores and addresses the clinical implications of their work, both through revisiting several of their conceptions and illustrating them with detailed clinical material from the analyses of children, adolescents, and adults. Psychoanalysis strives towards truth; this is its essence. However, emotional truth is often unknowable and not amenable to verbal communication. This ineffable mental realm is at the heart of both Bion and Meltzer's psychoanalytic endeavours. Bion's writings reflect a developmental stage in the evolution of psychoanalysis, extending clinical work to mental realms that were seemingly unreachable. Donald Meltzer further infuses Bion's thinking with his own original notions of beauty and aesthetics, imbuing Bion's profound thinking with a poetic and lyrical tenor. Writing in a clear and lucid manner, Avner Bergstein integrates Bion's sometimes highly theoretical thinking with everyday clinical practice, facilitating his dense and condensed formulations and making them clinically accessible and useful. Bion and Meltzer's Expeditions into Unmapped Mental Life is written for psychoanalysts and psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapists who are attracted to Bion and Meltzer's radical thinking.Trade Review'Purporting to be a journey into the gnomic writings of Wilfred Bion and Donald Meltzer, this book is itself a highly original contribution to the problem of how psychoanalytic knowledge can be known. This engaging series of papers takes seriously Bion’s view that sensuous experience, rationality and scientific facts are obstructions to the useful knowledge of human beings. But – without empirical facts – what is there left to know? This book forces a passage through towards an intuitive form of person-to-person knowing which has been given lesser place in our Enlightenment enthusiasm for physical science. Read it; and learn from the heart.'-Bob Hinshelwood, Emeritus Professor, University of Essex, UK''This book picks up some of the most valuable concepts that Bion and Meltzer gave us. Psychotic and Non-Psychotic parts of the personality, caesura, catastrophic change, unformed parts of the mind, aesthetic conflict, autism and more are just a few the reader will find. Bergstein has clearly devoted time and thinking to these crucial matters and distilled them in his own original ways. Generous clinical illustrations allow one to see how the author uses these concepts as tools in his work.'-Dr Robert Oelsner, MD, Training and Supervising Psychoanalyst,Psychoanalytic Institute of Northern California and Northwestern Psychoanalytic Society and Institute in Seattle; Editor of Transference and Countertransference Today, Routledge, 2013 Table of ContentsPreface 1 The psychotic part of the personality: Bion's expeditions into unmapped mental life 2 Transcending the caesura: Reverie, dreaming and counter-dreaming 3 Beyond the spectrum: Fear of breakdown, catastrophic change and the unrepressed unconscious 4 On boredom: A close encounter with encapsulated parts of the psyche 5 Attacks on linking or a drive to communicate? Tolerating the paradox 6 The painful vicissitudes of the patient's love: Transference-love and the aesthetic conflict 7 Obsessionality: Modulating the encounter with emotional truth and the aesthetic object 8 The ineffable References

Book SynopsisProviding an overview of essential topics in multicultural psychology, Humanistic Approaches to Multiculturalism and Diversity focuses on the intersection of humanistic psychology and multiculturalism, including history, theory, research, and practice. The authors examine the unique contributions of humanistic psychology to multicultural psychology on topics often ignored, such as cultural empathy and indigenous psychology and diversity. The book critiques and rectifies previous failures to adequately engage multicultural issues by providing methods for integrating multicultural psychology and humanistic therapy. Readers will find that each chapter advances scholarship through a dialogue with multicultural perspectives and builds a foundation for future scholarship and clinical practice.This book will be of great interest to mental health professionals interested in humanistic and existential psychology. Trade Review"This excellent volume provides new and important perspectives on humanistic approaches to multicultural issues in clinical theory and psychotherapy. The authors embrace the foundations of humanistic psychology, and place at the core, the humanity and dignity of people. At the same time, they recognize the complex role of historical and ongoing social injustice and sociocultural identity on human experience. The volume expands humanistic psychology toward the inclusion of cultural humility as essential to empathy and connection in the psychotherapeutic relationship. It is an invaluable resource for therapists working with clients of any sociocultural background." — Usha Tummala-Narra, PhD, associate professor in the Department of Counseling, Development, and Educational Psychology, Boston College, USA"I have been so longing for this book to be written! It is a multi-perspectival consideration of the two leading approaches to psychotherapy that were formulated to maximize client empowerment in psychotherapy. Complexities related to how identity, social position, and relationship interact unfold in layer upon layer. Each chapter is a gentle invitation to become aware of another set of implicit beliefs, and by the end of reading you will more clearly understand your clients’ lived experiences and gain new perspectives on how therapy can function." — Heidi M. Levitt, professor of psychology, University of Massachusetts Boston, USA"Shockingly honest, refreshing, and accessible to graduate students, academics, and seasoned clinicians, this book provides critical thinking and multifaceted realities. Through lived experiences, psychological literature, and suggested next steps, readers will be validated, challenged, and motivated to expand their theoretical orientation, research paradigms, case conceptualizations, and deepen their use of self in work and life." — Terri M. Davis, director of the PsyD program and associate professor, University of Denver, USA"The celebration of difference and diversity is at the very core of a humanistic ethic; yet humanistic psychology itself, has been woefully inadequate in addressing issues of multiculturalism, racism, and the dehumanisation of minority groups. The value of this book, therefore, is immense: taking our field right to the forefront of current debates and dialogues on these issues. In this respect, it deserves a place on the bookshelf of every humanistic psychologist." — Mick Cooper, University of Roehampton, UK and author of Existential Therapies"This excellent volume provides new and important perspectives on humanistic approaches to multicultural issues in clinical theory and psychotherapy.

Book SynopsisThe epigenetic puzzle which is schizophrenia, forms the focus of this Monograph, But The Authors Do Not Sit Comfortably With The Notion That this is an entity. Rather, they approach the non-affective psychoses on a broad epidemiological base, ascertaining cases of so-called functional psychoses over a quarter of a century. They examine admission policies, showing that patients are admitted to hospital on the grounds of their particular presentation, rather than their diagnosis. They explore Differences Between Males And Females With Psychotic Disorders, And Show that gender is a more powerful influence than diagnosis. They investigate trends over time, and find that demography is the major influence. Looking at criminality, they show that the factors predicting criminal Behaviour In Individuals With Psychotic Illness Are Much The Same In those without psychotic illness. And they trace the longitudinal course of illness, putting paid to the schizophrenia/manic depression dichotomy.; ThiTable of ContentsPreface by Assen Jablensky. Abstract.
