Red Book

A Reader's Edition

AvC. G. Jung,Sonu Shamdasani

Inbunden, Engelska, 2012

482 kr

The Red Book, published to wide acclaim in 2009, contains the nucleus of C. G. Jung’s later works. It was here that he developed his principal theories of the archetypes, the collective unconscious, and the process of individuation that would transform psychotherapy from treatment of the sick into a means for the higher development of the personality. As Sara Corbett wrote in the New York Times, “The creation of one of modern history’s true visionaries, The Red Book is a singular work, outside of categorization. As an inquiry into what it means to be human, it transcends the history of psychoanalysis and underscores Jung’s place among revolutionary thinkers like Marx, Orwell and, of course, Freud.” The Red Book: A Reader’s Edition features Sonu Shamdasani’s introductory essay and the full translation of Jung’s vital work in one volume.

Anknytning i psykoterapi

Skickas

Anknytningsteorin förenas här med klinisk praktik. Camilla von Below förmedlar aktuell forskning, visar på bredden och djupet i anknytningsteorin, men även på dess begränsningar. Med många kliniska exempel gör hon anknytningsteorin och dess empiri levande och användbar för dig som möter vuxna patienter i psykoterapi och psykologisk behandling.

Författaren beskriver anknytningsteori i relation till mentalisering och affektteori, liksom hur man kan se på anknytningsmönsters stabilitet och förändring under livet. Hon visar även hur anknytningsteori kan vara till hjälp för att skapa en terapeutisk relation, liksom hur hinder och svårigheter i det terapeutiska samspelet kan förstås. Betydelsen av terapeutens anknytningsmönster får ett särskilt fokus, med uppmuntran till självreflektion och utveckling.

Tack vare bokens breda anslag kan den kombineras med läsarens egen teoretiska och terapeutiska referensram.

Målgruppen är yrkesverksamma och studerande inom psykoterapi och psykologisk behandling. Boken kan med behållning även läsas av andra som arbetar med mänskliga relationer, samspel och samtal.

Camilla von Below är fil.dr, psykolog och psykoterapeut, lektor vid Stockholms universitet och kliniskt verksam vid S:t Lukas.

Sagt om boken:

”Som psykolog och psykoterapeut har jag nytta av anknytningsteorin på flera sätt. För det första genom att jag lyssnar på hur en patient berättar och vad det säger om hennes eller hans förhållningssätt till sitt inre och sin förståelse av sina problem. För det andra bidrar teorin med en förståelse av hur svårigheter kan ha uppstått och vad som hindrar patienten från att komma vidare. För det tredje – och i mitt tycka det mest inspirerande – ger anknytningsteori en förståelse för det relationella samspelet och samskapandet i terapi. Terapeuten får hjälp att förstå alliansbrott, brister och rena haverier i den terapeutiska relationen och att utmana sig själv i att göra på nya sätt.”Ur bokens förord

”Det är en välskriven och välstrukturerad bok. Läsningen är både inspirerande och väcker arbetslust. […] Författaren diskuterar även vad som är rimligt att som terapeut träna upp eller jobba bort, i fråga om egna otrygga anknytningsmönster. Och vad man i stället behöver acceptera och hitta sätt för att jobba runt. På så sätt har denna bok god potential att vara terapeutens egen trygga bas och säkra hamn i arbetet med patienterna.”Celia Svedhem, Psykologtidningen nr 6, 2020

”[…] en samlad, gedigen och genomarbetad framställning av detta perspektiv. Balansen mellan teoretisk framställning och kliniska fallbeskrivningar och dialoger bidrar till en givande läsupplevelse. Boken borde vara välkommen och användbar såväl i utbildning som i psykoterapeutisk verksamhet.”Björn Wrangsjö, Svensk psykiatri nr 2, 2021

"Boken är briljant och välskriven med ett väl avvägt innehåll. […] Upplägget tillsammans med bra referens-, sak- och innehållsregister gör boken lättnavigerad och användbar."Therese Nordholm, BTJ-häftet nr 19, 2020

Excessive Subjectivity

Kant, Hegel, Lacan, and the Foundations of Ethics

AvDominik Finkelde

How are we to conceive of acts that suddenly expose the injustice of the prevailing order? These acts challenge long-standing hidden or silently tolerated injustices, but as they are unsupported by existing ethical rules they pose a drastic challenge to dominant norms. In Excessive Subjectivity, Dominik Finkelde rereads the tradition of German idealism and finds in it the potential for transformative acts that are capable of revolutionizing the social order. Finkelde's discussion of the meaning and structure of the ethical act meticulously engages thinkers typically treated as opposed-Kant, Hegel, and Lacan-to develop the concept of excessive subjectivity, which is characterized by nonconformist acts that reshape the contours of ethical life. For Kant, the subject is defined by the ethical acts she performs. Hegel interprets Kant's categorical imperative as the ability of an individual's conscience to exceed the existing state of affairs. Lacan emphasizes the transgressive force of unconscious desire on the ethical agent. Through these thinkers Finkelde develops a radical ethics for contemporary times.Integrating perspectives from both analytical and continental philosophy, Excessive Subjectivity is a distinctive contribution to our understanding of the ethical subject.

Den enda rätta läran : så förblindade psykoanalysen det svenska rättsväsendet

AvChristian Dahlström

”Den enda rätta läran” är en granskning av psykoanalysens historia i Sverige, som kartlägger den rörelse som låg bakom en av de mörkaste perioderna i vårt rättsväsende. En häpnadsväckande berättelse som blottlägger de strömningar i psykiatrin, kulturdebatten och samhället i stort, som tillsammans mynnade ut i en rad av våra största och mest uppmärksammade rättsskandaler.

Handling Under 1980-talet sköljde en psykoanalytisk våg in över svenskt rättsväsende. Flera av de mest kända svenska rättsfallen – som da Costa-fallet, Thomas Quick, Lars-Inge Svartenbrandt och Kevin-fallet – präglades av den psykoanalytiska ideologin och hade alla kopplingar till psykoanalytikern Margit Norell. Bortom Norells sektlika grupp fanns dock en större och viktigare samhällsutveckling som hade pågått i decennier – och som delvis lever kvar än idag – där den freudianska mystiken hade satt klorna i psykiatrin, kulturetablissemanget och samhällsdebatten. Idéerna, som härstammade från Sigmund Freuds psykoanalys, fick bred spridning tack vare exempelvis den schweiziska psykologen Alice Miller, den hyllade feministen Hanna Olsson, den mediale psykiatrikern Johan Cullberg och den enigmatiska psykoterapeuten Barbro Sandin – som alla var populära långt utanför Margits trängre krets.

I ”Den enda rätta läran” kartlägger journalisten Christian Dahlström hur den psykoanalytiska ideologin tog sig in Sverige och satte både patientsäkerhet och rättssäkerhet ur spel.

Hur hade det gått till när freudianerna tog över psykiatrin, som i sin tur försåg polisen och rättssalarna med den psykologiska expertis som blev så avgörande?

Vilken roll hade just Nobelpriset för Freuds eget missionsarbete i Sverige?

Hur lyckades Margit Norell och den psykoanalytiska rörelsen tränga in i det svenska rättsväsendet i slutet av 1900-talet?

Genom att komplettera bilden av Margit Norell, ge en översikt över den svenska psykiatrins historia samt granska mytologiseringen av Sigmund Freud, svarar Dahlström på dessa frågor i ”Den enda rätta läran”.

Om författaren Christian Dahlström är civilekonom, författare och journalist specialiserad på psykiatri. Han har tilldelats Vetenskap och Folkbildnings utmärkelse ”Årets folkbildare” för sitt journalistiska arbete om pseudovetenskap inom psykiatrin.Sagt om bokenBoken borde nomineras till Augustpriset och läsas av alla med intresse för psykiatri och psykiatrins historia.ELIAS ERIKSSON, ProfessorSträckläste denna viktiga och välskrivna bok, där Dahlström med grundlig research visar hur dogmatism och brist på vetenskapligt tänkande ledde till att teorin om förträngda minnen fick katastrofala konsekvenser.MIKAEL LANDÉN, ProfessorOundgänglig läsning för jurister, psykologer, journalister och alla som intresserar sig för hur sanning och rättvisa kan gå vilse i en labyrint av teorier och övertygelser.JENNY KÜTTIM, Journalist Detta storverk borde, som en slags intellektuell vaccination, vara obligatorisk läsning för varje blivande psykiater och psykolog - och alla andra som vill förstå hur fantasifoster kom att bli sanningar i psykiatri, rättsväsende och kulturliv.MARKUS HEILIG, ProfessorChristian Dahlström visar hur reella katastrofer uppstår så snart psykoanalysen släpps in i seriösa sammanhang - som rättsväsendet eller psykiatrin.

Felix Guattari

An Aberrant Introduction

AvGary Genosko

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar

This is a detailed assessment of the life and work of Felix Guattari, "Mr Anti" as the French press labelled him, the friend of and collaborator with Gilles Deleuze, Jacques Lacan and Antonio Negri, and one of the 20th century's last great activist-intellectuals. Guattari is widely known for his celebrated writings with Deleuze, but these writings do not represent the true breadth and impact of his thinking, writing and activism. Guattari's major work as a clinical and theoretical innovator in psychoanalysis was closely linked to his participation in struggles against European right-wing politics. This book introduces the reader to the diversity and sheer range of Guattari's interests, from anti-psychiatry, to Japanese culture, political activism and his theorizing of subjectification.

Shame and the Self

AvFrancis J. Broucek

Inbunden, Engelska, 1991

Skickas inom 7-10 vardagar

In this ambitious new work, Frank Broucek explores the affect of shame--its functions, and its relationship to sexuality, self, and others. With a special focus on the relationship between shame and self-objectification, he proposes an innovative new theory that links shame to our sense of self from early development through maturity. In exploring this theme, Broucek--a psychoanalytically trained psychiatrist--breaks new ground in understanding the development of the self, establishing a perspective on narcissism that differs markedly from traditional psychoanalytic concepts.An illuminating overview of the modern literature precedes a provocative analysis of the role of shame in the formation of the self. Here, Broucek identifies the three major sources of shame: the infant's experiences of interpersonal inefficacy; self-objectification resulting in a kind of self-alienation or primary dissociation; and the experience of being unloved, rejected, or scapegoated by important others. In the course of development, these vectors cause the self's overinvestment in the idealized self-image and a devaluation of the actual self, an event explored in depth in the chapter on narcissism.Broucek also addresses the role of shame in psychoanalysis and in society. The neglect of this emotion in psychoanalytic theory and technique, the author contends, results from a critical lack of understanding of shame and its effect--potentially adverse--on the practice of psychotherapy. Finally, Broucek's analysis of widespread shamelessness in modern times logically extends the ideas presented earlier.Maintaining a critical balance in its coverage and interpretation, SHAME AND THE SELF marks a significant contribution to the understanding of the nature of shame and its role in our psychic life. As such, it is essential reading for all practicing psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and other mental health practitioners.

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar

This long-awaited new edition of Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy is a thorough yet accessible guide for readers looking to develop their understanding of this therapeutic model and the myriad benefits it reaps as an alternative to the lengthy, and often costly, process of traditional psychoanalytic treatment.The book is organized in a systematic fashion, analogous to the process of therapy itself, from initial contact through to termination and follow-up. Detailed clinical examples are presented throughout the text to illustrate how theory is translated into techniques of unparalleled power and effectiveness. This new edition offers a rare follow-up on nearly all of the patients included in the original, along with cutting edge research conducted over the last 30 years, to highlight the effectiveness of the method across a wide range of patients and to allow Coughlin to identify factors associated with long term change. Coughlin includes transcripts of the patients’ sessions rather than a summary of her own views as a therapist, providing the reader with accurate data and allowing the patients’ experience with the method to be shared in their own words.All practicing mental health professionals, as well as students and trainees, will find this book a unique and illuminating read and an invaluable tool as they develop their own skills within the clinical space.

Undertexten – psykoanalytisk terapi i praktiken handlar om psykoanalytisk behandling och beskriver med hjälp av konkreta exempel hur en sådan behandling har stöd i klinisk praktik. Psykoanalysen är en behandlingsmetod som både omfattar en teori om utveckling och organisering av personligheten och en teori om psykopatologi.

Författarna poängterar att terapeutens verksamhet alltid styrs av en bakomliggande systematisk teori. Samspelet mellan klinisk observation och teori är bokens röda tråd.

Den terapeutiska dialogen rymmer två nivåer som terapeuten lyssnar till samtidigt. ”Texten” som är det uppenbara innehållet i patientens tal. ”Undertexten” som terapeuten bara indirekt har tillgång till och som rymmer känslor, önskningar, fantasier och självuppfattningar som är alltför känsliga att presenteras i ”texten”. Därav huvudtiteln Undertexten.

Boken riktar sig framför allt till psykolog- och psykoterapeutstudenter men även till verksamma psykologer och psykoterapeuter.

Man and His Symbols

AvC. G. Jung

Pocket, Engelska, 1968

94 kr

Skickas

The landmark text about the inner workings of the unconscious mind—from the symbolism that unlocks the meaning of our dreams to their effect on our waking lives and artistic impulses—featuring more than a hundred images that break down Carl Jung’s revolutionary ideas“What emerges with great clarity from the book is that Jung has done immense service both to psychology as a science and to our general understanding of man in society.”—The Guardian “Our psyche is part of nature, and its enigma is limitless.” Since our inception, humanity has looked to dreams for guidance. But what are they? How can we understand them? And how can we use them to shape our lives? There is perhaps no one more equipped to answer these questions than the legendary psychologist Carl G. Jung. It is in his life’s work that the unconscious mind comes to be understood as an expansive, rich world just as vital and true a part of the mind as the conscious, and it is in our dreams—those personal, integral expressions of our deepest selves—that it communicates itself to us. A seminal text written explicitly for the general reader, Man and His Symbolsis a guide to understanding the symbols in our dreams and using that knowledge to build fuller, more receptive lives. Full of fascinating case studies and examples pulled from philosophy, history, myth, fairy tales, and more, this groundbreaking work—profusely illustrated with hundreds of visual examples—offers invaluable insight into the symbols we dream that demand understanding, why we seek meaning at all, and how these very symbols affect our lives. By illuminating the means to examine our prejudices, interpret psychological meanings, break free of our influences, and recenter our individuality, Man and His Symbols proves to be—decades after its conception—a revelatory, absorbing, and relevant experience.

2021 Gradiva Award WinnerThe Piggle is one of the most famous and beloved child cases in the history of psychoanalysis. A two-year-old girl suffering from terrible nightmares, depression, and self-harming behaviours, the Piggle, came to Donald Winnicott for treatment. In writing up the case and allowing it to be published (with the posthumous help of his wife Clare and his student, Ishak Ramsey), Winnicott invited the world into his consulting room and allowed the inner world of the very young child to be seen.Seven psychoanalysts rediscover the Piggle, meeting her as an adult, re-scrutinising the case as it was formulated by Winnicott, and suggesting new understandings of the Piggle’s material. Introduced by a foreword from Angela Joyce, the book features an interview with the adult Piggle, discussing her recollections of the treatment and her view of its impact many years on, as well as a meticulous historical overview from an investigation of ‘The Piggle‘ archive revealing previously unknown information, a critical, detailed reappraisal of the case, and reflections from several authors on how modern psychoanalytic technique might be applied to the case were the Piggle to be seen in 2020.In this age, when the voice of the child needs to be heard more than ever, Finding The Piggle gives new life to this classic piece of psychoanalytic literature in which the importance of the child’s feelings and conflicts is made abundantly clear. With this comprehensive exploration, a new generation of clinicians and others can rediscover this important case and think about it anew.

This book is a series of interviews with nine Laplanche scholars who expand our understanding of his work and highlight its contemporary importance and applications in psychoanalytic theory and practice.Much of Jean Laplanche’s work remains untranslated into English, but his ideas are increasingly influential in the Anglophone psychoanalytic world, especially the United States. His groundbreaking work on gender and sexuality leads the way in terms of psychoanalytic understanding of the current social and cultural developments in these areas. This work shows the ways in which his concepts migrate and transform into a global perspective through the lenses of epistemology, clinical practice, theory, culture, and linguistics. With contributions from current members of the Scientific Council of the Laplanche Foundation and prominent Laplanche scholars, this book aims to stand alongside Laplanche’s theoretical work as an example of the complexity of the relationship between theory and clinical practice.Enriched with clinical vignettes of child and adult analysands, this book gives psychoanalysts and psychotherapists an excellent introduction to the key tenets of Laplanche’s work and its application to classic and current clinical issues.

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar

The world has long awaited compelling and unmistakable evidence for the validity of dynamic psychotherapy. A review in the present book shows that such evidence has been accumulating over the past ten years. It comes from clinical trials, process research, case studies, and objective physiological measurements concerned with the importance of expressing emotions.This book extends the evidence. It provides an in-depth examination of therapy in action, based on verbatim accounts of the treatment of seven patients by Patricia Coughlin Della Selva, using the technique of Intensive Short-term Dynamic Psychotherapy (at times extending to medium-term). This technique has been shown to be both effective and cost-effective with a wide range of patients, including some who are notoriously resistant to psychotherapeutic intervention.The raw data of psychotherapeutic sessions enables the reader to trace the origin of therapeutic effects, which occur immediately in response to the direct experience of hitherto buried feelings and impulses. The validity of psychodynamic concepts such as resistance, transference, and the origin of neurotic disturbances in defences against intolerable feelings, is demonstrated beyond doubt.In-depth follow-up interviews provide clear evidence of the long-term benefits of dynamic psychotherapy. Patients continue to improve long after termination, as each symptom and defence has been replaced by something healthy and lifegiving. With all but one patient no trace of any of the original disturbances could be detected at follow-up, which is one of the defi nitions of "total resolution". No-one who has read this book can doubt the relevance of psychodynamics.

Law of Kinship

Anthropology, Psychoanalysis, and the Family in France

AvCamille Robcis

Häftad, Engelska, 2013

609 kr

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar

In France as elsewhere in recent years, legislative debates over single-parent households, same-sex unions, new reproductive technologies, transsexuality, and other challenges to long-held assumptions about the structure of family and kinship relations have been deeply divisive. What strikes many as uniquely French, however, is the extent to which many of these discussions—whether in legislative chambers, courtrooms, or the mass media—have been conducted in the frequently abstract vocabularies of anthropology and psychoanalysis. In this highly original book, Camille Robcis seeks to explain why and how academic discourses on kinship have intersected and overlapped with political debates on the family—and on the nature of French republicanism itself. She focuses on the theories of Claude Lévi-Strauss and Jacques Lacan, both of whom highlighted the interdependence of the sexual and the social by positing a direct correlation between kinship and socialization. Robcis traces how their ideas gained recognition not only from French social scientists but also from legislators and politicians who relied on some of the most obscure and difficult concepts of structuralism to enact a series of laws concerning the family. Lévi-Strauss and Lacan constructed the heterosexual family as a universal trope for social and psychic integration, and this understanding of the family at the root of intersubjectivity coincided with the role that the family has played in modern French law and public policy. The Law of Kinship contributes to larger conversations about the particularities of French political culture, the nature of sexual difference, and the problem of reading and interpretation in intellectual history.

'A scholarly masterpiece, written by the world's greatest living authority on Freud . . . There is so much to be learned in these pages'KARL J. FRISTON, the world's most cited neuroscientistOnce dismissed as unscientific, psychoanalytic therapy is proving to be among our most effective medical treatments of any kind - outperforming psychiatric drugs and rivalling vaccines in its power to prevent and heal. Why does it work so well?Perhaps because one of the most controversial figures in psychology was right all along. Neuroscience now confirms much of what Sigmund Freud conjectured over a century ago: our deepest struggles stem, not from chemical imbalances, but from buried memories and unconscious conflicts that no pill can touch.Using enthralling case studies and cutting-edge brain science, pioneering neuroscientist Mark Solms makes the case that psychoanalysis should resume its position as our master theory of the mind. Yet modern research also reveals where Freud got important things wrong. Could correcting these errors make therapy even more effective?As psychiatric diagnoses soar and standard treatments continue to fail many patients, The Only Cure offers a revolutionary hope: a real science of healing, rooted in the radical idea that our suffering arises from truths we haven't yet faced.

In May 1968, Gilles Deleuze was an established philosopher teaching at the innovative Vincennes University, just outside of Paris. Felix Guattari was a political militant and the director of an unusual psychiatric clinic at La Borde. Their meeting was quite unlikely, yet the two were introduced in an arranged encounter of epic consequence. From that moment on, Deleuze and Guattari engaged in a surprising, productive partnership, collaborating on several groundbreaking works, including Anti-Oedipus, What Is Philosophy? and A Thousand Plateaus. Francois Dosse, a prominent French intellectual known for his work on the Annales School, structuralism, and biographies of the pivotal intellectuals Paul Ricoeur, Pierre Chaunu, and Michel de Certeau, examines the prolific if improbable relationship between two men of distinct and differing sensibilities. Drawing on unpublished archives and hundreds of personal interviews, Dosse elucidates a collaboration that lasted more than two decades, underscoring the role that family and history--particularly the turbulent time of May 1968--play in their monumental work.He also takes the measure of Deleuze and Guattari's posthumous fortunes and the impact of their thought on intellectual, academic, and professional circles.

Meaning and Melancholia: Life in the Age of Bewilderment sees Christopher Bollas apply his creative and innovative psychoanalytic thinking to various contemporary social, cultural and political themes.This book offers an incisive exploration of powerful trends within, and between, nations in the West over the past two hundred years. The author traces shifts in psychological forces and ‘frames of mind’, that have resulted in a crucial ‘intellectual climate change’. He contends that recent decades have seen rapid and significant transformations in how we define our ‘selves’, as a new emphasis on instant connectedness has come to replace reflectiveness and introspection.Bollas argues that this trend has culminated in the current rise of psychophobia; a fear of the mind and a rejection of depth psychologies that has paved the way for what he sees as hate based solutions to world problems, such as the victory of Trump in America and Brexit in the United Kingdom. He maintains that, if we are to counter the threat to democracy posed by these changes and refind a more balanced concept of the self within society, we must put psychological insight at the heart of a new kind of analysis of culture and society. This remarkable, thought-provoking book will appeal to anyone interested in politics, social policy and cultural studies, and in the gaining of insight into the ongoing challenges faced by the Western democracies and the global community.

In Christopher Bollas’ Streams of Consciousness, a wide spectrum of theory and practice are explored, sometimes appearing in simple fragments, sometimes via complex lines of thinking that are developed in detail over time. As Bollas revisits the received truths and dogmas of his profession – including his own prejudices – he demonstrates the value of open, intelligent uncertainty. Interspersed with clinical preoccupations, which highlight the richness as well as the bewildering complexity of psychoanalysis, we find other ideas that reflect his early life as political activist, literature professor, and cultural critic. Throughout, the notebooks are enriched by references to the work of numerous writers in many fields who have influenced his thinking.This work is essential reading for all with an interest in psychoanalysis which will enrich both academic study and clinical practice.

If we want to be true atheists, do we have to begin with a religious edifice and undermine it from within?Slavoj Žižek has long been a commentator on, and critic of, Christian theology. His preoccupation with Badiou's concept of 'the event' alongside the Pauline thought of the New Testament has led to a decidedly theological turn in his thinking. Drawing on traditions and subjects as broad as Buddhist thought, dialectical materialism, political subjectivity, quantum physics, AI and chatbots, this book articulates Žižek's idea of a religious life for the first time. Christian Atheism is a unique insight into Žižek's theological project and the first book-length exploration of his religious thinking. In his own words, "to become a true dialectical materialist, one should go through the Christian experience." Crucial to his whole conception of 'experience' is not some kind of spiritual revelation but rather the logic of materialistic thought. This affirmation of Christian theology whilst simultaneously deconstructing it is a familiar Žižekian move, but one that holds deep-seated political, philosophical and, in the end, personal import for him.Here is Žižek’s most extensive treatment of theology and religion to date.
