''Perversion is a challenge for theory and psychoanalytic practice that Juan Pablo Jimenez and Rodolfo Moguillansky, American psychoanalysts known for the originality of their contributions, have managed successfully. In this book they offer us vivid and detailed clinical material of patients of analysis who presented various kinds of perversions, which they accompany by a comprehensive and accurate review of major psychoanalytic contributions on the subject, and their own contributions to it.'' The reader will find not only scholarship, but also he will find himself trapped in a thriller where the analyst is continually asked to leave his role as analyst to enter a game that fascinates and rejects. In a masterful way the authors describe their own internal vicissitudes in the treatment of these patients, the counter-transferential difficulties and how perversion becomes a source of inevitable collusions in the mind of the analyst.

This book reviews the different theories and models that seek to explain the causes of depression from different perspectives, from the molecular to the socio-cultural level. Depression is a complex psychopathological construct of high phenotypic heterogeneity, which must be understood as a phenomenon in which different explanatory levels interact with each other. However, very little is known about this interaction. The aim of this book is to provide clinical psychologists and psychiatrists a better knowledge of the interaction of different etiopathogenic levels, in order to help these professionals make better therapeutic decisions when treating depressed patients.Chapters in this volume review etiopathogenic theories and models of depression developed by different disciplines and fields of research, such as clinical psychology, psychiatry, genetics, neurobiology, psychophisiology, psychoneuroendocrinology and psychosocial studies, and examine certain conditions where the integrated consideration of different explanatory levels illuminates how depression originates and is maintained. In each chapter, authors critically review the state of the art in their field of expertise and explain the weak points of their own theories and their possible openness or connection to alternative theories or models.  Etiopathogenic Theories and Models in Depression will be a valuable resource for clinical psychologists, psychiatrists and other health professionals working with depressed patients, as well as to researchers investigating how depression originates and is maintained, presenting an integrated perspective of high translational value for clinical practice.

Esta sintesis introductoria propone una revision del estado actual del psicoanalisis, reconociendo sus raices freudianas, pero tomando distancia de los modelos cerrados, normativos y autorreferenciales. A traves de su lectura se despliegan temas clinicos y teoricos que dialogan con los desafios contemporaneos: el trauma temprano, la intersubjetividad, la validacion del metodo, la investigacion empirica, las neurociencias, la formacion academica y la transformacion del encuadre y la tecnica.

Esta sintesis introductoria explora el fenomeno del sonar y su relevancia en la clinica psicoanalitica contemporanea. Desde los fundamentos freudianos hasta los aportes de las neurociencias y las teorias relacionales, ofrece un recorrido que integra tradicion y modernidad, teoria y tecnica, reflexion conceptual y aplicacion practica.

Esta obra reúne una reflexión clínica y conceptual sobre el psicoanálisis, la salud mental y el trabajo interdisciplinario en América Latina. Juan Pablo Jiménez revisa problemas centrales de la práctica terapéutica y de su relación con la vida social, articulando experiencia profesional, discusión teórica y contexto histórico.El libro adopta una forma narrativa de carácter biográfico y recorre episodios y decisiones que marcaron cambios relevantes en el modo en que el autor ha comprendido el psicoanálisis y su ejercicio. En ese recorrido, expone con claridad las revisiones, desplazamientos y tensiones que han orientado su pensamiento, ofreciendo al lector un acceso poco frecuente a la construcción de una posición clínica a lo largo del tiempo.Desde las primeras páginas se plantea una tesis ética explícita: "la terapia psicoanalítica no es solo una técnica, sino una forma ética de estar con el otro". Esta convicción atraviesa el texto desde la intimidad del consultorio hasta los desafíos de la salud mental en contextos de mayor vulnerabilidad, y sitúa el trabajo terapéutico como una práctica que exige responsabilidad, reflexión y trazabilidad.Por su tono reflexivo y su claridad expositiva, este libro resulta relevante tanto para quienes se inician en la psicoterapia como para profesionales con experiencia, así como para lectores interesados en pensar la salud mental desde una perspectiva ética, crítica y situada en la realidad latinoamericana.
