Book SynopsisThis book is based on the work done by a group of British and Italian psychoanalysts who have been meeting twice yearly since 2003 to study clinically the relationship between the mind and the body of their patients.The analytical dyad became the focus of a dialectical movement between body and mind and between subject and object. Containing contributions from a range of distinguished British and Italian analysts, this book covers such key topics as somatic symptoms, the embodied unconscious, bodily expressions of affect, sexuality, violence, self-harm, suicide attempts, hypochondria, hysteria, anorexia and bulimia, and splits and fragmentation associated with the body. The theoretical understanding is inspired by various psychoanalytic theoreticians, including Freud, M. Klein, Winnicott and Bion and their theories on sexuality, infantile sexuality, libido, aggressiveness, death instinct, Oedipus complex and motherchild relationship. Offering new advances in theoreticaTrade Review"This wonderful book explores to depth the unending unconscious effort of human beings trying to recover unity and harmony in their own sense of self. It investigates how to repair the split and lacks which detached minds from bodies, creating tragic feelings of subjective discontinuity and alienation.An innovative experiment of scientific cross-fertilization, by merging creatively for 14 years two different analytic perspectives thanks to the joint theoretical-clinical research of a "resilient" British-Italian working group, generates here a fascinating, unexpected and much more integrated vision on the soma-psyche issue.This book confirms the immense power of cross-fertilization in psychoanalysis, and I entusiastically recommend it to the readers." - Stefano Bolognini, Past-President of the International Psychoanalytical Association "When the Body Speaks is based on a series of dialogues held along 14 years between analysts from the British Psychoanalytical Society and the Italian Psychoanalytical Society.

Book SynopsisIn this book, Abram proposes and elaborates the dual concept of an intrapsychic surviving and non surviving object and examines how psychic survival-of-the-object places the early m/Other at the centre of the nascent psyche before innate factors are relevant. Abram's clinical-theoretical elaborations advance several of Winnicott's key concepts. Moreover, the clinical illustrations show how her advances arise out of the transference-countertransference matrix of the analyzing situation. Chapter by chapter the reader witnesses the evolution of her proposals that not only enhance an appreciation of Winnicott's original clinical paradigm but also demonstrate how much more there is to glean from his texts especially in the contemporary consulting room. The Surviving Object comprises 8 chapters covering themes such as: the incommunicado self; violation of the self; the paradox of communication; terror at the roots of non survival; an implicit theory of desire; the fear of WOTrade Review"In her new book, Jan Abram continues the impressive endeavour to explore, discuss and develop the work of D. W. Winnicott. This time her personal voice is stronger. By offering the reader an Ariadne thread, through her clinical innovation of the intrapsychic surviving and non surviving objects, she takes the reader on a journey through the complexity of Winnicott’s work, and her own reflections of its clinical and theoretical implications. She includes an abundance of examples from her clinical work, and a continuous dialogue with other psychoanalytic writers. This makes Abram’s contribution not only helpful to the understanding of Winnicott, but also to several of the most important discussions in contemporary psychoanalysis." - Sølvi Kristiansen, Training and Supervising Analyst; Past President, The Norwegian Psychoanalytic Society"Jan Abram has made this marvellous achievement showing that DW Winnicott's two-person psychology is three-dimensional, following her inspiring meeting with André Green. To illustrate her psychoanalytic journey, she makes heuristic use of Japanese Ukiyo-e so that readers may enjoy viewing the transient and transitional object together while learning from the author, and in the end, shall realize the object has survived intrapsychically." - Osamu Kitayama, Training and Supervising Analyst & Past President Japan Psychoanalytic Society"In The Surviving Object, Jan Abram, the foremost Winnicott scholar writing today, discusses the way Winnicott reinvents the meanings of words as he goes, and uses the unique language he creates to convey understandings that analytic writing has never previously held. In this new work, she presents her own clinical work, which is strongly rooted in Winnicott’s thinking, but is uniquely her own. She speaks with her patients in a way that is sometimes calming, sometimes confrontational, sometimes stunningly insightful, but always profoundly personal and humane. This is an extraordinary book that must not be missed." - Thomas Ogden, author most recently of Reclaiming Unlived Life and Creative Readings: Essays on Seminal Analytic Works."The Surviving Object is a significant milestone in understanding the richness of Winnicott’s contributions to psychoanalysis. Jan Abram, a leading exponent of Winnicott’s work, traces the evolution of his central concepts, with the detailed grasp of them for which she is known. She also traces how her own understanding of them has developed over time and found expression in her clinical work. Winnicott’s ideas are carried forward in the process, and their links to French psychoanalysis in particular are valuably explored. This book is both an extremely useful survey of Winnicott’s thought and a creative elaboration of it." - Michael Parsons, author of Living Psychoanalysis: From Theory to Experience "In her new book, Jan Abram continues the impressive endeavour to explore, discuss and develop the work of D.

Book SynopsisThis book focuses on autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the criminal justice system. Rather than being the perpetrators of offending behaviour, individuals with ASD are more likely to be the victims of crime. However, there is nevertheless a small subset of individuals with ASD who do offend, and this book provides an in-depth understanding of how certain features of ASD may provide the context of vulnerability to engaging in a number of types of offending behaviours. Chapters focus on arson or fire-setting; cybercrime (e.g., hacking); online sexual offending such as the viewing of indecent child imagery; offline sexual offending; violent crime; stalking; terroristic behaviour (including radicalisation and extremism); bestiality or zoophilia; and also extreme violence such as mass shooting and serial homicide. This book also outlines the ways in which a defendant with ASD may present in court and how they may exhibit behaviour which could be misinterpreted and perceived negatiTrade Review"Dr Clare Allely is a world-leading expert in the field of violent crime and its relationship to ASD. Here, she takes on the difficult and complex task of explicating how ASD and the criminal justice system(s) interact. She provides a convincing body of evidence to support the notion that, in the future, a better understanding of ASD on the part of psychiatrists, psychologists, and, not least, legal practitioners, will lead to much better-informed decisions, particularly as regards criminal responsibility in ASD, within the justice system(s)." – Christopher Gillberg, MD, PhDProfessor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, senior consultantGillberg Neuropsychiatry Centre, SwedenUniversities of Gothenburg, Sweden, and Glasgow, ScotlandKochi Gillberg Centre, Japan"Allely’s work is cross-disciplinary, practical and based in contemporary international research experience. It provides a ground-breaking insight into the relationship between ASD and the criminal law. It has the potential to remove stigmatising misperceptions and provide a sound expert basis for better informed decision-making." – Professor Ian Freckelton AO QC"Allely expertly crafts an understanding of the persistent deficits that occur in ASD and the impact on those, often undiagnosed, caught up in criminal justice systems. She provides comprehensive understanding of how impairments may be exhibited or conversely masked by superficial social skills. She demolishes the suggestion that individuals with ASD lack empathy, nor are they any more likely to engage in offending behaviour compared to individuals without a diagnosis of ASD. In fact, they are more likely to be victims. Her stark warning is that the criminal justice system is frequently failing those with ASD and it is imperative that the judiciary and legal practitioners understand the existing research and use the available toolkits to reduce what is commonly a challenging and negative experience. Her call for further research to progress systemic changes to criminal responsibility ought to be heard by those at the highest level of law and policy reform." – Professor Felicity Gerry QC, international QC at Libertas Chambers, London and Crockett Chambers, Melbourne.Table of ContentsPrefaceChapter 1: What is Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)?

Book SynopsisThis book explores the interpersonal world of sibling relationships, explaining how these relationships are central to the development of the psyche of the individual, of the group, of society and of the organisation. Sibling Relations and the Horizontal Axis in Theory and Practice considers four key areas: sibling relations, sibling trauma, the law of the mother and the horizontal axis. The contributors journey through examples from the psychological, philosophical, organisational, social and cultural realms, giving a new perspective on the psychic world and the importance of sibling relationships as an empowering and therapeutic component for building relationships. While we are used to looking at the individual, the group and at society through the vertical, hierarchical relationship that results from parentâchild relationships, this book discusses and reveals the impact of the horizontal axis.Sibling Relations and the Horizontal Axis in Theory and Practice will be Trade Review"This rich and fascinating book deals with various aspects of the Law of the Mother and the growth that results from the Sibling Trauma. The book analyzes the Horizontal Axis as it appears in group analysis, in the Bible, in organizations, in literature and in cinema. Reading this book shows how much society has changed in the days of Foulkes and Antony. It is a refreshing and topical book, boldly researching the weaknesses of hierarchical structures and the strengthening of the structure of social networks." Hanni Biran, Clinical Psychologist, Training Psychoanalyst and Group Analyst; Tel-Aviv Institute for Contemporary Psychoanalysis and Israeli Institute of Group Analysis "Ashuach and Berman together with their stellar contributors propose an entirely new vector for understanding group and individual process. Embellishing Juliet Mitchell’s Law of the Mother and the centrality of sibling consciousness this book will irrevocably change accepted understandings of patients and clinical process. With examples that range from clinical work to the bible each chapter creates a new and unexpected perspective that collectively foment a deep realignment of clinical thinking and of subjectivity itself. No reader will listen to their patients or view an organization in quite the same way again." Robert Grossmark, Ph.D, ABPP, Teaching Faculty and Clinical Consultant, New York University Postdoctoral Program in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy"This important book powers the theme of sibling relationships as fundamental in social relationships.

Book SynopsisJungian Psychoanalysis: A Contemporary Introduction provides a concise overview of analytical psychology as developed by Carl Jung. Mark Winborn offers a succinct introduction to the key elements of Jung's conceptual model and method, as well as an outline of the major transitions, critiques, and debates that have emerged in the evolution of analytical psychology. Similarities and differences between analytical psychology and other psychoanalytic orientations are also identified. This approach allows those who already have familiarity with the Jungian model to expand their understanding, while also providing an accessible map of the field to those with limited exposure to these concepts. Psychoanalysts, therapists, students, and instructors of all levels of experience will benefit from this unique introduction to the Jungian model of psychoanalysis.Trade Review"This book brilliantly outlines and integrates a breadth of understanding of Jung’s depth psychology in concert with contemporary psychoanalytic theory and practice. A much needed and timely opus, this volume is a feast of psychoanalytic knowledge punctuated with moving personal clinical experience and wisdom. A gem for Jungians and all those devoted to psyche." Ronnie Landau, Jungian psychoanalyst, President – CNASJA, past-President – Philadelphia Association of Jungian Analysts"This volume, in the series Routledge Introductions to Contemporary Psychoanalysis, gives a brilliant introduction to the classical concepts in Jungian psychoanalysis while at the same time integrating important debates in the field of analytical psychology as well as linking to concepts from other psychoanalytic perspectives. I find the book most inspiring, and I highly recommend it for all those looking for an excellent contemporary introduction to Jungian psychoanalysis." Misser Berg, Jungian analyst, Denmark, President of the International Association for Analytical Psychology"A welcome introduction to the richness and significance of Jungian thought. Especially welcome at this time, as Jung's vision of psychic reality delineates important components of world political impasse as well as depths of group and individual psychology. The author opens flexible dynamic currents between therapy schools enhancing what therapeutic communities can offer. Jung has been a generative background presence in the therapy field and Mark Winborn's foreground presentation enhances access, knowledge, and growth of experience." Michael Eigen, PhD, psychoanalyst and author of Contact with the Depths, The Challenge of Being Human, and Faith, The Birth of Experience "The development of dialogue between analytical psychology and contemporary psychoanalysis is essential for a deeper understanding of the multidimensional picture of the unconscious. Mark Winborn's book is an excellent contribution to the development of a poly-theoretical perspective for exploring the complexity of the psyche's manifestations and to the understanding of the specificity of the Jungian approach."

Book SynopsisThis book provides a comprehensive overview of research into dissociation in children and adolescents and challenges conventional ideas about complex behaviours. Offering a new perspective to those who are unfamiliar with dissociation in children, and challenging prevalent assumptions for those who are experienced in the field, the editors encourage the professional to ask questions about the child's internal experiences beyond a diagnosis of the external symptoms. Chapters bring together a range of international experts working in the field, and interweave theories, practice, and challenging and complex case material, as well as identifying mistakes that therapists can avoid while working with children who dissociate.Filled with practical tools and examples, this book is a vital resource for professionals to enrich their practice with children who dissociate. Trade Review"Dissociative disorder in adults – ‘the presence of two or more distinct identity or personality states’ is well known. Despite the fact that the majority of traumatic experiences associated with Dissociative Disorder derive from Adverse Childhood Experiences, there is less familiarity with the condition in childhood and young people. This detailed text aims to redress this failure, by describing the latest clinical and trauma research, integrating attachment, neurobiology, child development, mental health and family systems offering unique perspectives on the phenomena of dissociation, and presentations in children and young people.Through clinical examples of detailed highly skilled therapeutic work with seriously traumatised children and young people, the concept of dissociation is brought to life – a key response to overwhelming toxic and damaging traumatic stress through the life-course. These result in the presence of self-states that either influence the child internally or directly by taking executive control over their bodies. An elemental dramatic relationship is enacted in the inner world of the child or young person, between figures who can guide, protect and cope, or are destructive to the self or other. The detailed therapeutic task is described, understanding the nature and origins of dissociative responses, and the extensive work of creating a coherent narrative of experiences. Separate self -states need to be integrated to establish a coherent, mature, individual, who can put their experiences in memory, to be open to relationships, to be creative and not to repeat and promulgate disastrous toxic ways of being." Arnon Bentovim, Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist; Formerly Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital and the Tavistock Clinic, UK "This is a long awaited and much needed book. Brave, theoretically deep, imbued with rich clinical experience, daring to state what we fear to hear, and written by some of the finest and most experienced clinicians in this field, this is a must-read for anyone trying to get to grips with this complex and challenging area of work." Graham Music, PhD; Consultant Psychotherapist, Tavistock Centre, London; Author, Nurturing Natures, The Good Life and Nurturing Children"Offering detailed case histories and guidelines for treatment of children with complex symptoms (including discrete dissociative states of consciousness), this rare book takes us deep into the under-explored realm of multiple types of extreme trauma suffered by young victims, ranging from family violence, emotional or sexual abuse, to cyber-crime exploitation on the darknet. Experienced practitioners sensitively elucidate the ‘undoing’ of seemingly inexplicable disturbances in memory, identity, affect, soma and behaviour as aftereffects of protective dissociation, regarded here as a ‘psychological escape hatch - the only getaway at the time of the trauma’."

An elemental dramatic relationship is enacted in the inner world of the child or young person, between figures who can guide, protect and cope, or are destructive to the self or other. The detailed therapeutic task is described, understanding the nature and origins of dissociative responses, and the extensive work of creating a coherent narrative of experiences. Separate self-states need to be integrated to establish a coherent, mature, individual, who can put their experiences in memory, to be open to relationships, to be creative and not to repeat and promulgate disastrous toxic ways of being." Arnon Bentovim, Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist; Formerly Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital and the Tavistock Clinic, UK "This is a long awaited and much needed book. Brave, theoretically deep, imbued with rich clinical experience, daring to state what we fear to hear, and written by some of the finest and most experienced clinicians in this field, this is a must-read for anyone trying to get to grips with this complex and challenging area of work." Graham Music, PhD; Consultant Psychotherapist, Tavistock Centre, London; Author, Nurturing Natures, The Good Life and Nurturing Children"Offering detailed case histories and guidelines for treatment of children with complex symptoms (including discrete dissociative states of consciousness), this rare book takes us deep into the under-explored realm of multiple types of extreme trauma suffered by young victims, ranging from family violence, emotional or sexual abuse, to cyber-crime exploitation on the darknet. Experienced practitioners sensitively elucidate the ‘undoing’ of seemingly inexplicable disturbances in memory, identity, affect, soma and behaviour as aftereffects of protective dissociation, regarded here as a ‘psychological escape hatch – the only getaway at the time of the trauma’."

Book SynopsisTherapeutic Conversations with Adolescents takes readers into the office of a seasoned therapist, where they can be a fly on the wall of live therapy sessions. Full of actual dialogue and the processing behind the choice of responses and interventions, this book stands in contrast to the dozens of books about adolescent therapy that discuss only theory, conjecture, and generic strategies. Teenagers today need therapists who can offer robust and unpretentious therapeutic relationships, as well as conversations that matter enough to hold their clients' attention and make them want to come back for more. Readers will come away from this book understanding how to tread the delicate balance between the support and confrontation, the forthrightness and discretion, and the humor and tenacity that therapists need to make a real and lasting impact with teenagers. Trade Review"In her newest book, Janet Edgette encourages us to be brave enough to violate some of the most hoary and archaic rules of psychotherapy. She reminds us that therapy is rooted in our capacity to think deeply and compassionately and that it’s not just about what to do with our adolescent patients—it’s about how to be with them."Brad E. Sachs, PhD, psychologist and author of The Good Enough Teen, The Good Enough Therapist, and When No One Understands“Janet Sasson Edgette has yet again proved to us that she has her fingers on the pulse of what it’s like to be an adolescent today. This book illustrates the range of issues that kids face from the inside out and the range of responses that therapists can utilize to engage this population. I couldn’t put this book down! Janet’s insight, perception and authenticity are so refreshing!"Amy Fantalis, MS, MSW, LCSW, psychotherapist"Therapeutic Conversations with Adolescents is an unprecedented and extraordinary guide for therapists treating teens and families. It’s an elite handbook that demonstrating what to DO in session. Therapists will learn how to respond in real time and sequence interventions, to name a few of the tools taught throughout the book. This is an invaluable resource." Joseph Dowling, MS, LPC, author of ZONEfulness: The Ultimate Guide for Student-Athletes "Edgette’s honesty and her professional experiences will keep you reading more and then more. She’s not lecturing. She’s sharing. She’s reminding us that we can engage with teens without the pings, rings, dings and all things tech and instead choose face-to-face conversations with truths and vulnerabilities."

Book SynopsisWhat does it mean to be ethical as a coach? Just how ethical are you? How does ethics influence your coaching and how do you know if you are engaging in ethical practice? This important and eye-opening volume provides critical insight from the thought leaders in coaching across a full range of ethical issues.Presented in four parts, this new handbook works to guide the reader towards ethical maturity to strengthen their practice, though examination of theory and thought provoking practice examples. Part 1, Foundations of Ethics in Coaching, provides a detailed overview of the basic principles of ethical coaching. Part 2, Ethics in Coaching Practice, details specific examples of where you will need to think ethically and be guided by good ethics within your practice. Part 3, Pushing the Boundaries of Ethical Thinking in Coaching, dives deeper into topics such as race, managing mental health, the environment and marketing. Part 4 consists of twelve case studies which encourage you to think about putting the theory of the book into practice.The Ethical Coachesâ Handbook will provide ideal support to students, practitioners and coach educators looking to deepen, broaden and enhance their ethical coaching practice.Trade Review"This is a timely book for coaching practitioners concerned with the everyday ethical challenges posed by our work in an increasingly turbulent world. Far too often ethics in coaching is given a single chapter at the end of a coaching handbook. This book puts ethics at the core of coaching not only as a professional practice but also more broadly as a social practice with concomitant social, eco-systemic responsibilities. It fulfils its promise to move away from the normal view of professional ethics with its focus solely on decision making assuming instead ethics is more than doing. Rather it is about the development of ethical maturity as a way of being. It acknowledges that ethics, in the face of persistent injustices and climate emergency, must go beyond the Eurocentric perspective of the isolated individual ‘I’ to encompass the relational ethical awareness needed to navigate cultural difference, race, the ecological crisis and under-pinning power dynamics of domination, and privilege. Importantly it provides practical models and case studies to bring the theoretical and philosophical dimensions of ethics to life. This is a very welcome publication which pushes conventional boundaries of ethics in coaching practice."Charmaine Roche. Executive Coach, Accredited Coach Supervisor. PhD researcher, Leeds Beckett University"In a decade’s time, I envision the coaching profession will be as widely-respected as any other major industry. A relentless focus on ethics is paramount to getting there. The Ethical Coaches’ Handbook is a vital step in that direction, featuring a vast compilation from many of the industry’s most respected thought leaders. Our field is grateful for this contribution!"Brian O. Underhill, Ph.D., PCC. Founder and CEO, CoachSource"A superb read and a much needed addition to the evidence-based literature on coaching! It is exciting to be part of the growth of coaching worldwide, but in order to be taken seriously as practitioners, coaches need to reflect, deepen and expand their knowledge of the ethical aspects of this fast-growing helping profession. That's why we need this book! With a wide range of essays on ethics in coaching -- technology, culture, team dynamics, feedback and more -- this book is a must-read for any coach who is committed to working ethically in an increasingly complex world. Bravo!" Jeffrey W. Hull, PhD, BCC, Executive Director, Institute of Coaching, a Harvard Medical School Affiliate "An exciting book for coaches offering a rich diversity of chapters in four sections. Ethical maturity as an integral aspect of professional development for coaches is finally being given the attention it deserves in this bumper guidebook, that offers a wealth of topics and perspectives around ethical thinking in all its complexity as a key part of everyday coaching practice. Chapters on offer include topics on ethical foundations and frameworks, chapters on ethical practices and the psychological contract within coaching, a fascinating variety of topics on ‘pushing the boundaries of conventional ethical thinking’ and a set of useful case studies. I recommend this as a practical resource for coaches at all stages of training and experience who are keen to advance their professionalism and coaching maturity."Dr Ceri M Sims. Centre for Positive Psychology, Director of Positive Minds Alliance Ltd"Ethics feeling increasing confusing in the quagmire of cultural relativism and woke self-righteous imposing one way of thinking on everyone. When coaching others, the confusion is contagious to our clients. This collection of essays help to clear the fog. It helps us do the right thing, for the right reason in the right way."Richard E. Boyatzis, PhD Distinguished University Professor, Case Western Reserve University. Author of best selling Primal Leadership and Helping People Change"Ethics is what defines coaching. Ethical practice is essential for a successful engagement between a coach and a client and other stakeholders. As it is more an art than a science. This guide is such a useful tool for coaches and clients alike and a fantastic addition to the coaching body of knowledge. With contributions from so many amazing coaches and scholars, this book is a "must read" for everyone engaged with coaching!"Magdalena Nowicka Mook. CEO, International Coaching Federation, United States"Coaches and Supervisors committed to reflective practice and their continuing development will welcome this book.The breadth of the inquiry both mirrors and supports the growing interest for a more considered approach to ethics as a profession and a more subtle ethical-intelligence as individual practitioners.Against the backdrop of the individual and societal challenges we face, how do we move beyond the guardrails of ethical codes to find new ways of being in question together?"Ant Mitchell Chair, APECS (Association for Professional Executive Coaching & Supervision)"What’s beautiful and inspiring about Ethics in Coaching is that we learn that ethics are ever-present, like the air we breathe. Adapting a key passage: In our daily quest to draw out the good and right in our relationships, our behaviors become an active demonstration of our ethics – our moral values in action."Margaret Moore, MBA, Executive coach. Co-Founder & Chair, Institute of Coaching, Founder & CEO Wellcoaches Corporation"At a time when the world is facing increasing challenges, this book offers a roadmap for the ethical questions facing coaches."Dr David Drake, The Moment Institute "The editors have brought together a broad range of experts from across the coaching field and beyond to create an authoritative and timely resource. I can see this book having a significant positive impact on the professionalism and ethics of coaching for decades to come."Prof. Christian van Nieuwerburg. Professor of Coaching and Positive Psychology, Centre for Positive Psychology and Health. Dublin / Ireland "With the rise in popularity of coaching as an intervention, especially after what the world has experienced in the last few years, it has become more important that coaching psychologists particularly get clearer about their ethics and values and boundaries. With many things getting more complex, it’s more critical to get clarity for oneself. This books serves as an important guide for practitioners, containing voices and thoughts from some of the leading thinkers in the area of coaching and coaching psychology.

Book SynopsisExperiencing Endings and Beginnings highlights the emotional turmoil which, to a greater or lesser extent, accompanies the changes we experience throughout life. It considers the nature of the anxieties aroused by a new situation, changes in our circumstances, beginnings and endings of relationships, gains and losses, and the ending of a previous state throughout the lifespan.Endings and beginnings are shown to be closely related, for every new situation entered into, more often than not, involves having to let go of some of the advantages of the previous one as well as losing what is familiar and facing fear of the unknown. Isca Wittenberg shows how all these aspects of change evoke primitive anxieties, stemming from our earliest experiences of coming into this world. The book considers life changes including birth and weaning, going to nursery and school, beginning work, marriage, parenthood, and retirement, with reference to clinical examples. This revised editionTrade Review"As she approaches the age of 100, it is truly remarkable that Isca Wittenberg has been able to continue her research into life’s ‘endings and beginnings’ with the same enthusiasm, vigour and intellect she showed in former years.She now brings her insight into extreme old age: the challenges and losses it presents and the accommodations which need to be arrived at. Far from being a depressing chapter on the frailties accompanying longevity, it gives a life-enhancing insight into how to be positive and still appreciate that which remains: nature, beauty, the joy of family.She has lost none of her ability to arouse the readers’ emotional involvement in the case studies she describes. On the contrary, her comments are more perceptive than ever. Her particular gift is her ability to make her writing accessible to all: that is, to give complex psychoanalytical insights in language which the layman can also understand." - Lilian Levy, MBEPraise for the first edition:"This is a wonderfully conceived book – on beginnings and endings – that in the author’s hands becomes a portal to review the connecting threads throughout our lives. All of us who worked with or knew Isca Wittenberg at the Tavistock were privileged to be in the presence of a very rare sensibility, characterized by a wis generosity of mind, the spirit of which is immanent throughout this deeply moving book. Now others will be in her company and shall enjoy the privilege of her companionship." – Christopher Bollas, author, The Shadow of the Object, China on the Mind and The Freudian Moment"Isca Wittenberg has become very well known for her original approach to thinking about beginnings and endings in life and as they appear and challenge us in clinical and teaching contexts. This book is the fruit of her long engagement with this topic, and it is a most engaging overview of the major transitions in the human life cycle. It is written with freshness and simplicity and offers the reader an encounter with a writer who draws on her personal and professional experience with freedom and zest. A book about everyday life by a far-from-everyday person, which I think will stimulate and charm many, because it imparts wisdom so lightly." - Margaret Rustin, Child and Adult Psychotherapist"Reading this book feels like being taken by the hand of a warm-hearted and experienced author going through your own life’s transitions: from life inside the mother to life outside, from separateness to finding new ways of connecting, from home and nursery to school and entering the world of work, from living alone to getting married, and from the experience of bereavement and retirement to the last step: growing old and facing death. The author convincingly includes psychoanalytic theory, vividly described clinical cases and reflections of her own life, while never excluding the spiritual dimension. In all these phases of life she keeps the infant aspects of the grown-ups alive. The book stimulates a deep emotional response on the reader. Isca Wittenberg writes with such liveliness that you think she is a young writer full of life and understanding." – Professor Gertraud Diem-Wille, training analyst for children, adolescents and adults of the Viennese Psychoanalytic Society and the International Psychoanalytical Association "A gem of a book. In her late eighties Isca Wittenberg writes as clearly as ever, distilling a lifetime's experience into a work of genuine wisdom. This book displays a deep psychoanalytic understanding of the lifecourse married with a searching and compassionate mind, and has the added bonus of fascinating autobiographical fragments from one of the luminaries of child psychotherapy." - Graham Music, Consultant Child Psychotherapist, Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust"As she approaches the age of 100, it is truly remarkable that Isca Wittenberg has been able to continue her research into life’s ‘endings and beginnings’ with the same enthusiasm, vigour and intellect she showed in former years.She now brings her insight into extreme old age: the challenges and losses it presents and the accommodations which need to be arrived at.

Book SynopsisIndependent Women in British Psychoanalysis celebrates the lives and work of female psychoanalysts whose significant contributions to the Independent Tradition have hitherto been overshadowed by their male counterparts. The contributors in this volume look at seven female psychoanalysts who broke new ground with their contributions to theory and practice: Ella Freemen Sharpe, Marjorie Brierley, Paula Heimann, Marion Milner, Enid Balint, Nina Coltart and Pearl King. The chapters tell the individual stories of these psychoanalysts alongside their theories, showing how their personal lives embody and illustrate the essential universal developmental task of becoming oneself and finding one's own voice. The themes across the chapters include infant and child development with (m)other, trauma, constructive use of aggression, creativity, a theory of clinical technique, and independence of mind in a social world. This book will be of interest and relevance to pTrade Review"This is a deeply inspiring book on the writings of the pioneer women psychoanalysts who were to become part of the Independent Tradition in the British Psychoanalytical Society. While emphasizing the centrality of the interpretation of the transference and countertransference in the analytic encounter, the original work of these women psychoanalysts highlighted the role of emotions, of playfulness and creativity, of receptivity and tolerance, as well as the experience of illusion and disillusionment in the unique encounter between analysts and their patients. The chapters are beautifully written and a joy to read." Rosine Perelberg, British Psychoanalytical Society. "This volume brings together papers that focus on a group of British women analysts who, following the Controversial Discussions, were aligned with the Independent group within the British Psychoanalytical Society. The importance of their clinical and theoretical contributions is widely acknowledged. They insisted on claiming the right to their own voices, and their works often embody a distinctive vocabularies and styles of writing. For many readers they may provide creative openings for further psychoanalytic thought." Nellie L. Thompson, IPA Committee on the History of Psychoanalysis. "The focus of this remarkable book is an extraordinary series of women psychoanalysts whose lives and work span the 20th century. Individually they are fascinating; together, they show historically how women analysts — some still not well known — have been at the heart of Independent psychoanalysis in Britain. Elizabeth Wolf and Barbie Antonis set this story in the context of their own experience, giving the book a personal feel as well. This is a splendid achievement, full of both information and feeling."Michael Parsons, British Psychoanalytical Society.Table of ContentsPart I Setting the SceneIntroduction: On Becoming 1.

Book SynopsisThis volume advances a comprehensive transdisciplinary approach to the affective lives of institutions theoretical, conceptual, empirical, and critical. With this approach, the volume foregrounds the role of affect in sustaining as well as transforming institutional arrangements that are deeply problematic.As part of its analysis, this book develops a novel understanding of institutional affect. It explores how institutions produce, frame, and condition affective dynamics and emotional repertoires, in ways that engender conformance or resistance to institutional requirements. This collection of works will be important for scholars and students of interdisciplinary affect and emotion studies from a wide range of disciplines, including social sciences, cultural studies, social and cultural anthropology, organizational and institution studies, media studies, social philosophy, aesthetics, and critical theory.Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisIn Fratriarchy, Juliet Mitchell expands her ground-breaking theories on the sibling trauma and the Law of the Mother. Writing as a psychoanalytic practitioner, she shows what happens from the ground up when we use feminist questions to probe the psycho-social world and its lateral relations.In this pivotal text, Mitchell argues that the motherâs prohibition of her toddler attacking a new or expected sibling is a rite of passage from infancy to childhood: this is a foundational force structuring our later lateral relationships and social practices. Throughout the volume, Mitchell chooses the term 'Fratriarchy' to show that, as well as the up-down axis of fathers and sons, there is also the side-to-side interaction of sisters and brothers and their social heirs. Making use both critically and affirmatively of Freud, Klein, Winnicott, Bion, Pontalis and others, Fratriarchy indicates how the collective social world matches the individual family world examined by estTrade Review'Juliet Mitchell’s astonishingly rich contributions to psychoanalysis and its social meanings, from Psychoanalysis and Feminism onward, culminate in Fratriarchy with a stunningly new conception of siblingship and what she tellingly calls 'the Law of the Mother.' This is a great and convincing work, taking us through psychoanalytic theory, and literature—finding its most eloquent enactments in Shakespeare. A major book by one of the leading thinkers of our time.'Peter Brooks, Sterling Emeritus Professor of Comparative Literature, Yale University, USA'In her riveting new book, Fratriachy: The Sibling Trauma and the Law of the Mother, Juliet Mitchell makes a persuasive case for a psychoanalytic examination of sibling relations. Omitted from psychoanalytic discourse – until now – is what Mitchell characterises as "The Law of the Mother": the force that tempers a child’s homicidal impulses against their perceived usurper. In casting a light on horizontal relations and exploring their interactions with vertical control, Mitchell provides a fantastically entertaining and important feminist analysis of the functions of patriarchy and fraternity in a social world.'Inbali Iserles, award-winning author of children’s books and fellow of the Royal Literary Fund (2020-2022), University of Cambridge, UK'The contention of the existence of a horizontal axis along which siblings interact is the starting point of Fratriarchy. With her characteristic theoretical consistence and exquisite clinical sensitivity Juliet Mitchell proposes that the intersection of this horizontal axis with the hierarchical vertical patriarchal axis set the coordinates needed for an understanding of the universality of the prohibitions of incest and murder. The consequences of these prohibitions are different when operating on the horizontal and the vertical axes as they correspond to different Law-givers and different recipients. Mitchell’s Law of the Mother rules during the pre- social infancy prohibiting incest and murder between siblings along the horizontal axis. It is the necessary complement of the Law of the Father -to use the Lacanian translation of Freud’s formulation- that prohibits incest and murder in the vertical axis of filiation.'Max Hernandez Camarero, former Vice-President of the International Psychoanalytical Association and Founding Member of the Peruvian Psychoanalytic Society. He has been honoured with the Mary Sigourney Award'In the face of war, and gender, racial, and colonial oppression, it is crucial to define new frameworks of analysis that have the potential to end violence. Mitchell’s fascinating account of the Law of the Mother, sibling trauma, and the fratriarchy offers a route to deliverance articulated through new narratives about the self and the others, and a call to sisterhood.'Laura López Paniagua'In Juliet Mitchell’s Fratriarchy the author drives her argument with freewheeling and exhilarating force, into the prevailing foundations of psychoanalytic thinking---the Law of the father, the paternal function of the Oedipus, and its antecedent, the earliest relationship with the mother, "good enough" or not. What is left out , she asserts, is the separation and loss of infancy specifically through the replacement of the toddler by the baby he/she is no longer. This trauma is a product of "The Law of the Mother," and its consequences are death of the toddler, who dare not risk, by fulfilling the wish to murder the baby, his or her own death by maternal abandonment. Mitchell puts this dilemma powerfully, starting with the psychoanalytic writing of Winnicott and Klein, the British pillars of early infantile experience. Their early cases all start with the trauma of the birth of the sibling, but their theoretical focus backs away from this trauma, looking for antecedents in the first months of life. Juliet Mitchell says look again, at the trauma which is equal for boys and girls, and which marks the entry into all the relationships outside the family, those relations which will eventually find expression in love and war. Confusions of love, sex and gender, the ubiquity of war, are the discontents we live with and Juliet Mitchell has much to say to illuminate the world in which we find ourselves. And she offers more than she explores in relation to adolescence. It is a riveting read.'Sara Flanders, British Psychoanalytic Society, UK'Juliet Mitchell is a field-defining thinker. In the long awaited Fratriarchy, Mitchell brings her world-renowned work as a feminist psychoanalytical and political scholar together with her personal observations on child development and sibling relations as a practitioner over the past twenty-five years. Central to Mitchell’s distinctive argument is the misdiagnosis of ‘sibling trauma’ and the far-reaching social and political consequences. Theoretically radical as well as autobiographical, this is an extraordinary book and a ‘must read’ for all those with a curiosity for understanding human society through familial dynamics.'Jude Browne'In this engaging new book which is very much a continuation of her earlier work, Mitchell elaborates the Law of the Mother: the danger of murder or incest on the part of the usurped toddler when the new sibling is born, is mediated by the mother. Throughout Mitchell’s writing there has been a deft weaving of sex, violence and death. Mitchell has never been fearful to challenge psychoanalytic shibboleths. This is exemplified many times in her new book. For example she considers how the usurped sibling’s brush with murderousness and death challenges the Freudian assertion that death is unrepresentable and can only be known through the idea of castration. In a characteristic intellectually and clinically informed discourse, she cites Pontalis’ challenge to this Freudian notion that death is unrepresentable through a thesis that Freud himself knew death only too well with his childhood losses, his half-brother aged eighteen months and through his own somatic preoccupation with his sick and ailing body: his own dying. This example highlights the call to read and engage with the continuing work of one of contemporary psychoanalysis’s most thoughtful and challenging of writers.’Rosemary Davies Table of ContentsIntroduction Part 1: The Toddler's World 1.

Book SynopsisWritten by pioneering analyst and creative thinker, James Grotstein, A Beam of Intense Darkness offers a thorough overview and illuminating insight into the often-complex work of W. R. Bion.This psychoanalytic classic sees Grotstein introduce over 30 key Bionian theories, comprehensively explaining them to the reader before offering his own insight and commentary. Grotstein first encountered Bion as his analysand and, later, as his friend. This book offers a level of insight only possible through such a close relationship, and offers a dialogue between Bion and Grotstein as they delve into the inner workings of the human psyche. Throughout, Grotstein offers his own original thoughts on topics such as projective transidentification, transcendent position and the truth drive.With a new introduction from Nicola Abel-Hirsch, this book is an essential read for anyone interested in Bion's work and legacy.Trade Review"A Beam of Intense Darkness, is a treasure trove of thoughts about Bion’s work, filtered through the fertile mind of James Grotstein. This rich, scholarly book has served me well in my pursuit of deeper understanding of Bion’s endlessly complex and evocative contributions to psychoanalysis. My copy of the book, inscribed by Dr. Grotstein, is well worn after many decades of reading and re-reading, for I have gone back to it as a reference over and over again, sometimes getting answers to questions I have had, sometimes stimulating new questions, that can also be explored with reference to this classical work on Bion. Dr. Grotstein’s imaginative, poetic, and scholarly perspectives on Bion’s theories have made this book instrumental in providing a deeper intuitive grasp of Bion’s revolutionary ideas, and rare wisdom."Annie Reiner, Los Angeles.

Book SynopsisA Brief Apocalyptic History of Psychoanalysis returns us to the birth of psychoanalysis and the trauma of castration that is its umbilicus.The story told in this book centers on the genital mutilation endured in her childhood by Emma Eckstein, Freud's most important patient in his abandonment of the seduction theory. For both cultural and personal reasons, Freud could not recognize the traumatic nature of this Beschneidung (circumcision), which nevertheless aroused in him deep anguish, conflating his own circumcision, the echoes of a violently anti-Semitic environment, and conflicts with his father. Taking Freud's countertransference to Eckstein's trauma into account leads to a radically different understanding of the origins of psychoanalysis from the one based on the solipsistic perspective of his self-analysis. Carlo Bonomi argues that the unacknowledged trauma of circumcision was inscribed in Freud's system of thinking as an amputated legacy from which theTrade Review"In this unique book, Bonomi combines a thoughtful textual analysis of the writings of Freud and his contemporaries, up-to-date historical and biographical knowledge, and a study of Ferenczi's journey from being Freud's enthusiastic follower towards crystalizing a daring new model, surpassing Freud's blind spots. This creative original work helps the reader to better comprehend major trends in present psychoanalytic practice, emphasizing trauma and splitting, the crucial value of empathy and lived experience, and the unavoidable immersion of therapists in the transference – countertransference matrix." - Prof. Emanuel Berman, Israel Psychoanalytic Society, Professor Emeritus at the University of Haifa."Carlo Bonomi, a scholar of the Ferenczi Renaissance, discloses a striking perspective on the foundation and transmission of psychoanalysis. The discovery that Freud didn’t categorize the circumcision of a girl as a genital mutilation and a relational trauma is indeed a shock. Yet, this unthought-of trauma didn’t get lost because, in the first analytic treatment Freud experienced it on his own body, later becoming the secret source of his theory of castration anxiety. This paradox is the key to this Brief Apocalyptic History of Psychoanalysis, in which many contradictions of the history of our discipline find their place within a consistent narration based on Ferenczi’s theory of trauma as a split between intellect and emotions." - Prof. Clara Mucci, Società di Psicoanalisi e Psicoterapia Sándor Ferenczi, and Professor for Dynamic Psychology at the Università degli Studi of Bergamo."In this new book Carlo Bonomi bridges the gap between Freud’s foundation of psychoanalysis and contemporary theories and methods, continuing his journey into the origins of psychoanalysis by linking Freud’s emotional and intellectual reaction to Emma Eckstein’s circumcision to his neglect of the feminine. Bonomi shows how Freud’s amputated legacy was unconsciously transmitted to his closest followers, and how Sándor Ferenczi in particular would help to heal this wounded body by restoring the limbs of repetition, countertransference, vulnerability, and the feminine." - Prof. Franco Borgogno, Società Psicoanalitica Italiana and 2010 recipient of the Mary Sigourney Award"Physicians’ interest in human sexual organs came with educational intent, a hidden story in the history of psychoanalysis.

Book SynopsisSandtray Applications to Trauma Therapy presents the theory behind and the practicalities of using sandtray therapy in treatment with traumatized patients, both children and adults.The book begins with a review of the most frequently asked questions that professionals ask themselves when using the sandtray. It then details the Barudy and Dantagnan model of trauma therapy to understand and integrate sandtray therapy with patients who have suffered trauma. Chapters describe the importance of neuroaffective communication, directive and non-directive working methodologies, and how to use the technique in regulation, empowerment, and resilient integration of trauma. A featured chapter by the second author, Dr. Raffael Benito, presents the neurobiology behind sandtray therapy, outlining step by step what happens in the brain of a patient during a sandtray session. Transcripts of clinical cases, sandtray images, and true client stories are integrated throughout.This Trade Review‘Is a wonderful book that will illuminate practitioners, particularly those working with traumatised children and adolescents, in their task of helping these young people understand and overcome their traumatic experiences, build resilience and progress through a healthier, long-term developmental path in their lives. One of the outstanding strengths of the present book is that it is rooted in a secure base of more than one hundred years of child and adolescent mental health, from which it explores and digs deeply into the therapeutic applications of the sandtray technique, whilst integrating the domains of trauma, resilience, parental skills, personal development and neuroscience, within a framework of attachment-based thinking and practice.’ Arturo Ezquerro is a London-based consultant psychiatrist, psychoanalytic psychotherapist, and group analyst.‘The risk is that upon discovering the existence of therapeutic techniques as attractive and promising as the sandtray, they are applied with the illusion that these by themselves will be sufficient, neglecting the care that should be taken to apply, contextualize and integrate them in a process that is relational, affectively binding, empathic and mentalizing between therapist and patient. Thanks to their human quality, their extensive training and their rich clinical experience, the authors have the skills and sufficient authority to affirm that Traumatherapy is the ideal scenario that guarantees the effective and respectful application of the sandtray technique, applying it in the moment and adapting it to the uniqueness of each child or adolescent. The organization of the contents to work on in each block, following the neurosequential principle, is the best guarantee so that the therapeutic impact of using the sandtray keeps all its meaning and effectiveness.’ Jorge Barudy is a neuropsychiatrist, psychotherapist, family therapist, and trainer of the EFTA (European Association of Family Therapy). Maryorie Dantagnan is a pedagogue, psychologist, child psychotherapist and co-director of IFIV, Spain.Table of Contents1. The most frequently asked questions about the sandtray technique 2.

Book SynopsisThis book originates from the experience of providing Art Therapy for adults diagnosed with learning disabilities living in an institutional setting. It follows two longitudinal case studies in an attempt to understand dyadic relations in Art Therapy.Representing an important contribution to the history of Art Therapy, especially as it relates to the history of learning disabilities, this book explores past and contemporary discourses and contexts to identify a meaningful, thoughtful approach to the making and reading of images and the client/therapist relationship. It presents the thinking that informed the author's practice at the time, from both the point of view of the time and its present moment, to contextualize contemporary Art Therapy practice. Through the storytelling of long-term Art Therapy cases with thoughtful investigation, the author explores themes of melancholia, abjection, and alienation, while also creating a depth to current practice. The chapters are richTrade Review‘Robin Tipple gives a moving portrait of life in the long stay hospitals of the past. Drawing on psychoanalysis, sociology and twentieth century philosophy, this is a historical record, a witness account, and a powerful theoretical analysis of the institutions of the late twentieth century. It is also a personal memoire that takes the reader on a journey, introducing two people whose lives were circumscribed by such an institution and who touched the author profoundly. The narrative account demonstrates vividly, and with deep compassion, how to listen to those whose words may, at first, seem to lack coherence. Based on notes made at the time, the story shows how meaning may evolve, and a relationship develop, through the medium of art psychotherapy. Thus, the book is relevant to therapists of today and will be of interest to arts therapists, counsellors and psychotherapists and all working with those who are marginalised. It will also inform researchers interested in the ‘total institutions’ of the past and their residents'.Professor Joy Schaverien, PhD, Jungian psychoanalyst, art psychotherapist, author of The Revealing Image and Boarding school Syndrome: The Psychological Trauma of the ‘Privileged’ Child‘This honest and engaging book includes two stories about the therapeutic relationships and imaginative lives of people with mild to moderate learning disabilities in a long-term institution. The book's details are pertinent to a broad range of therapeutic work but particularly consider the cultural expressions found in art therapy. The life stories described include the clients and the therapist (the author) because the autobiographic nature of much that is named 'case study' is not evaded. The book interlaces events in the outside world with the internal psychological experiences of client and therapist. In this way, the book repeatedly returns to the theme of working-class identity and how it has shaped discourse certainly about the lives of people with learning disabilities but also the lives of many others. The book is important because it contributes to a discussion about how people caught up in institutional systems gain an internal sense of recognition from the other’.Chris Wood, PhD, NHS Art Therapist and research fellow, University of Sheffield‘In times that seem increasingly concerned with swift and simple therapeutic solutions, Tipple’s book offers something different and much needed: a detailed and reflective account of individual long-term Art Therapy with people with learning disabilities. Illuminating several single case narratives with thoughts from psychoanalysis, philosophy and art therapy, Tipple reminds us why it is important to muse on stories from therapy. Beyond giving evidence that Art Therapy is exceptionally suited for people marginalised for their cognitive impairment, he offers reflections on the human condition as such. Tipple’s notion of therapy as a unique intersubjective process shows what Art Therapy can be: thoughtful, compassionate, respectful, dedicated and above all, deeply human’.Uwe Herrmann, PhD, professor on the MA programme in Art Therapy at Weissensee Academy of Art, Berlin‘A necessary treasure in the shifting landscape of Art Therapy, research, and practice, with gently powerful rendering of a lifetime of reflective thinking, being and making in the field. The reader will benefit from Tipple’s expressions of critical thinking around the stories notated, each ‘subject’s’ narrative offers thoughts on power dynamics, the materiality within relationship, and how the work lives in a reflexive clinical frame. Tipple highlights the continued necessity to think-through the subjective and intersubjective in relating, and to embed this in continued learning through research. His writings enlighten and provoke as he translates the human experience in the setting and context, time, and space, offering consideration of the philosophical and cultural in the pursuit of ‘linking’, reciprocity, and personhood. He supports the reader to seek the in-between and engage with the wonderful possibilities within the alliance. This book is an essential read for every art therapist’.Kristen Catchpole, art psychotherapist who has worked with families, children, and vulnerable adults, lecturer at Goldsmiths University, London ‘Robin Tipple provides an original take on the Art Psychotherapy case study in contextualising therapy with two institutionalised patients in relation to his own life experience. His many years of practice, teaching and research in the learning disability field are apparent in the scope and depth of his reflections. He draws on the work of Sartre in making the case that, with time and consistency, a degree of mutual ‘recognition’ within the therapeutic relationship is achievable. The value of paying close attention to gestures and mark making, as a physical manifestation of inner emotion, is also demonstrated in the two case studies. The prejudiced and elitist agendas that underpin the history of intelligence testing and learning disability diagnosis and treatment are succinctly analysed, and his account of the impact of institutional care on the lives of ‘Amy’ and ‘Edward’ serves as a timely reminder of the devastating emotional cost of an overly medicalised and behavioural approach to diagnosis, treatment, and care’.Kim Dee, Art Therapist, lecturer in art psychotherapy at Goldsmiths University, London, long previous experience as member of Community Learning Disability Service in Tower HamletsTable of Contents1.

Book SynopsisClear and accessible in style, this book offers a comprehensive introduction to criminal justice and forensic mental health and the ways in which they intersect.Assuming no prior exposure to the field of criminal forensic psychology, the book reviews ten areas where mental health professionals contribute regularly to the due process of law: comprehension of rights, competency to stand trial, transfer of juveniles to adult court, risk assessment, mitigation, sentencing, sexually violent predators, insanity, and capital punishment of persons with mental illness and with intellectual disability. The book also explores the major categories of mental disorders, how they contribute to criminal behavior, and what problems they present in courts and corrections. Landmark cases from the United States and United Kingdom are also reviewed in detail to develop a thorough understanding of the court's decision-making process. Bridging the gap between abstraction and practice throughTrade Review“Dr Jonathan Venn has written a tour de force. In four decades of practice as a forensic psychologist, I have never seen such a comprehensive, clear, and deeply thoughtful textbook on the science and practice of forensic psychology.” J. Reid Meloy, Ph.D., ABPP, Former President at the American Academy of Forensic Psychology and Fellow at the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, USA“This comprehensive textbook by Dr. Venn is long overdue for the field. He does an excellent, thorough job of explaining clearly some of the most complex challenges to the forensic psychologist as in Chapter Two on preparing for and serving as an expert witness in court. The bibliographies accompanying each chapter provide a list of outstanding resources on each subject covered. Bravo!” Florence Kaslow, Ph.D., ABPP, Founding President, American Board of Forensic Psychology, USA“Dr. Venn has accomplished a remarkable task: integrating legal history, case law, statutes and clinical applications. I think it could be subtitled: “Everything you ever wanted to know about criminal forensic psychology." Its focus on the controversies in many different substantive areas, is quite original, and gives a sense of the realities of forensic practice, rather than a series of abstract observations. The organization is excellent, in that it looks at the major components of each substantive issue. These significant components have often been overlooked in previous texts I have seen. Finally, the writing style is easy to follow, and one looks forward to the next part of each issue being discussed.”David L. Shapiro, Ph.D., ABPP, Professor Emeritus, College of Psychology, Nova Southeastern University, USA"This excellent text is intended to thoroughly introduce mental health professionals into forensic practices. It is clearly dedicated to criminal issues, such as insanity, Miranda waivers, and the death penalty. Succinct chapters highlight the interesting backgrounds of defendants in landmark legal cases. Regarding the science of forensic psychology, important advances in forensic tests are featured. Students and professionals interested in the practice of criminal forensic psychology should read this book from cover to cover." Richard Rogers, Ph.D., ABPP, Regents Professor of Psychology and Eminent Faculty, University of North Texas, USA"In Crime and Psychology: Foundations of Forensic Practice, Jonathan Venn has generated the “missing book” that many experts in mental health law would have given their eye teeth for when they were first starting out. Dr. Venn explains “everything you wanted to know” about why things are the way they are in the American criminal justice system. Crime and Psychology includes a treasury of “back stories” of famous cases, exhaustive references to case law, and wisdom earned through years of expert practice. The book is readily accessible for undergraduates and graduates trying to decide on a career path in psychology. Dr. Venn provides not only a workman’s view of how the system operates, but he provides a compassionate take on how mental illness plays a central role in the lives of many criminal defendants. I plan to read this book once a year to remind myself of the foundations of my forensic practice."Richard Frederick, Ph.D., ABPP, Private Practice, Minneapolis, USA"In this engaging, comprehensive, and deeply scholarly text, Dr. Venn has done a remarkable job of weaving together historical and contemporary case law and its philosophical and political underpinnings, psychological research, clinical issues, practical concerns, and detailed case studies. Dr. Venn’s readers – whether students or established professionals – will find their knowledge of forensic psychology, its underlying concepts, and its controversies tremendously enriched." Carol E. Holden, Ph.D., ABPP, University of Michigan, USA"I have known Dr. Jonathan Venn for many years and he is a thorough and thoughtful neuropsychologist with decades of forensic experience. He is also an excellent witness. These skills are all evident in his new book, Crime and Psychology: Foundations of Forensic Practice, which will surely be an important resource tool for those studying and practicing forensic psychology." John H. Blume, J.D., Samuel S. Leibowitz Professor of Trial Techniques and Director of the Cornell Death Penalty Project, Cornell Law School, USA"Dr. Venn has written an important, thoughtful, scholarly, and thoroughly-researched textbook that will greatly enhance our understanding of the origins, history, case law, and forensic psychological practice involved in the complex intricacies of criminal procedural law and mental illness. His text reflects his decades-long experience as a criminal forensic psychologist who has evaluated and given expert testimony in hundreds of adolescent and adult cases at every stage of prosecution from pre-trial issues such as competency to stand trial to at-trial issues of mental state at the time of offense (e.g., insanity) to post-trial issues of sentencing including the death penalty to appellate issues of competency to be executed. Faculty teaching in introductory and advanced forensic psychology and forensic psychiatry training programs will find this textbook a valuable resource for their students and themselves." Geoffrey R. McKee, Ph.D, ABPP, Diplomate in Forensic Psychology and American Board of Professional Psychology, USA"The author is a highly respected Board Certified Forensic Psychologist who has managed to present complex topics in an easy to digest, yet thorough fashion. The style of writing is clear and articulate, and the frequent use of case examples is particularly helpful. I highly recommend this book for graduate students as well as early career practitioners interested in forensic psychological practice in the criminal justice system." Ira K. Packer, Ph.D., ABPP (Forensic), Professor Emeritus, University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School, USA"Most of the chapters begin with nuggets of historical background for the relevant legal question. How did the legal concept evolve to become embedded in our modern case law, and how is that relevant for your forensic mental health assessments? Not on the tip of the tongue for many forensic examiners. But history deepens your appreciation of your assessment’s purpose and importance."Thomas Grisso, Ph.D., University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School, USA"Perhaps the greatest compliment I could give a book such as this is that it does exactly what the author set out to do. It provides an honest picture of the career of a forensic psychologist. Case examples give life to legal principles and processes, and complex questions are explained in clear, thoughtful language that is easily digested. The list of topics covered is comprehensive, and the resulting discussions are practical...Perhaps you are someone who has wondered about the practice of forensic psychology. Or perhaps you have contemplated a career in this field or started down the path that Jonathan Venn has described so well. In either case, this book is for you. I hope you enjoy reading it and learning about this fascinating profession."From the Foreword by Joel A.
