Psychoanalysts at Work
This book can only hint at the inexhaustible creativity of its author. To be sure, the reader will glimpse the variety of Richards' interest. Arnold Richards has fought for diversity of opinion-where hitherto isolated thinkers and practitioners from far flung analytic schools actually meet and exchange ideas without being distorted as imagined strangers.--Bonnie Litowitz
Up Close and Personal
It is hard to define what poetry is but one thing is certain: the experience of reading a poem should not leave you cold. A poem may be the artful arrangement of words on a blank page but some emotion must be aroused in the reader. Up Close and Personal by Arnold Richards suggests that spontaneity and intimacy are the poet's goal: the poems must appear to be casual when in fact they have been carefully constructed. "Art abhors the confessional" Richards says: he knows that out of contrivance emotional truth must be dragged "kicking and screaming" if necessary, as poetry "cuts up life/ into pieces/and pastes them / on a page" (from the poem Scissors and Paste). Richards manages to cut up life...
The Peripatetic Psychoanalyst
The Peripatetic Psychoanalyst conveys the author's encyclopedic knowledge of psychoanalysis as both theory and a clinical praxis. The text is a personal and professional walk through the recent history of training from the nineteen sixties through the description of the different schools of psychoanalytic thought that characterizes the current state of the field.
Psychoanalysis
Arnold Richards's psychoanalytic contributions follow the leitmotif of "integrative pluralism" how to continue the dialogue between the contributors of disparate psychoanalytic schools of thought (i.e., thought collectives) with the larger psychoanalytic knowledge base as it grows and changes with each new contribution. The chapters of the first section of this book show us the evolution of this design. Although these chapters give us a noticeable trace of this motif, it has taken more then half a century to develop, requiring life experience from the many roles Richards has played and the posts he has held (see Friedman, p.__). He has been editor of The American Psychoanalyst (TAP), Journal...
Psychoanalysis
Over the course of three decades, in works spanning questions of theory, technique, and clinical practice, Charles Brenner has emerged as one of the preeminent analysts of his generation, a thinker whose probing estimation of mental conflict has promoted the evolutionary growth of analysis as theory even as it has clarified the clinical import of analysis as therapy. In Psychoanalysis: The Science of Mental Conflict, distinguished theorists and clinicians pay homage to Brenner by presenting original essays that converge in their estimation of analysis as "the science of mental conflict." In sections that encompass "The Theory of Psychoanalysis," "The Concepts of Psychoanalysis," "The Techniq...

The Unknown Freud
The Unknown Freud: Five Plays and Five Essays by Robert Lippman explores some of the feelings, fears, and beleifs that Freud may have privately harbored about his Jewish religious background, upbringing, and culture. This is done creatively through the five plays, and backed up with scholarly, academic research in the five essays. "A fascinating psychobiographic interweaving of Freud--the creator of psychoanalysis and secular Jew--in an anti-analytic, anti-Semitic society. We walk, talk, and playfully debate with Freud and the author on science and art, the unconscious and culture." --Harold P. Blum, MD. Executive Director, Emeritus, Sigmund Freud Archives; Former Editor, Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association.
