Beskrivning
This edited volume features a diverse, eclectic range of voices exploring affect theory in relation to psychotherapy, culture and philosophy.The 1990s saw the beginning of the affective turn, an important cultural shift which influenced to a considerable degree the arts, politics and culture in general but failed to reach the world of psychotherapy. What would it be like if practices such as psychotherapy took more fully on board the importance of affect? Based on the outcome of a series of seminars led by Manu Bazzano over the course of 2020–2025, this edited volume aims to break new ground by drawing on affect theory, queer and feminist theory, literature and art to outline new ways of practicing psychotherapy and supervision, of doing research and of engaging more creatively and effectively with the political challenges of our time.The Primacy of Affect: Psychotherapy, Culture, Philosophy will benefit anyone working within or interested in psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, critical theory, contemporary philosophy, politics, the arts and literature.

Recensioner i media

"Very few contemporary writers in the world of psychotherapy have the foresight to imagine new ways of understanding the human condition, let alone bring these ideas to life in a collection as dynamic and accessible as these. Manu Bazzano is one of these few, and the ideas presented collated by him, and written here by an incredibly interesting selection of writers says a lot about just how important Affect Theory is to understanding our ways of being, and how necessary it is for all of to recognise the subtlety of the Affect which we all engage within, often without knowing it."Dwight Turner, activist, writer and public speaker on issues of race, difference and intersectionality in counselling and psychotherapy, UK"Within the emergent field created by this book, it is shown how affect in therapy transforms both client and therapist. With clarity and depth, the text illuminates how shared atmospheres, positionality, and embodiment shape the tangible, shifting, and potent exchanges that define a relational therapeutic practice born at the point of contact, extending beyond I–Thou."Parvy Palmou, Gestalt Therapist, Gender Affirmative Care & Founder of Athenian Gestalt, Greece"Richly woven, this is a book to read beyond what is expressed through words. It invites us to follow the signs that point to the felt senses unfolding as we read it, and to recognize the permanent flow/movement of meanings that we experience in everyday life and in therapy."Salvador Moreno-López, Humanistic-experiential psychotherapist and writer, Mexico"The Primacy of Affect edited by Manu Bazzano provides its readers with a thorough understanding and insight to the topic. The book introduces a multi-dimensional, new, and complex approach, such that draws from many fields of thought. It also remains attuned to the complex state of affairs of the human sciences discourse."Noam Israeli, Reader in Philosophy and Existential Therapist, Israel
