Hogarth
The second volume in Paulson's definitive study of William Hogarth explores the peak of the artist's career, from A Harlot's Progress to The March of Finchley, and concentrates particularly on the production and consumption of his works. It plays out Hogarth's conflicting aims of producing a polite or popular art, for patrons or for the general public. It is also concerned with the central issue of Hogarth as painter and engraver. Hogarth recognised that the art market was changing. Personal patronage was declining, art works were being commercialised, and a huge new market was opening up. From his earliest professional training Hogarth had witnessed and participated in the employment of mec...
Textbook of Psychoanalysis
The second edition of this groundbreaking text represents a complete departure from the structure and format of its predecessor. Though still exhaustive in scope and designed to provide a knowledge base for a broad audience -- from the beginning student to the seasoned analyst or academician -- this revision emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of psychoanalytic thought and boldly focuses on current American psychoanalysis in all its conceptual and clinical diversity. This approach reflects the perspective of the two new co-editors, whose backgrounds in linguistics and social anthropology inform and enrich their clinical practice, and the six new section editors, who themselves reflect th...
A Psychotherapy for the People
How did psychoanalysis come to define itself as being different from psychotherapy? How have racism, homophobia, misogyny and anti-Semitism converged in the creation of psychotherapy and psychoanalysis? Is psychoanalysis psychotherapy? Is psychoanalysis a "Jewish science"? Inspired by the progressive and humanistic origins of psychoanalysis, Lewis Aron and Karen Starr pursue Freud's call for psychoanalysis to be a "psychotherapy for the people." They present a cultural history focusing on how psychoanalysis has always defined itself in relation to an "other." At first, that other was hypnosis and suggestion; later it was psychotherapy. The authors trace a series of binary oppositions, each d...

Symbiosis and Ambiguity
Symbiosis and Ambiguity is the first English edition of José Bleger's study of early object relations. It is rooted in Kleinian clinical thinking, and in work by Argentinian analysts.
Confusion of Tongues
Sandor Ferenczi, Sigmund Freud's brilliant pupil as well as an innovative psychoanalyst, was silenced by various generations of his contemporaries until, in the past decades, his work began to be rediscovered. Certain aspects of his trauma theory, in fact, had never been thoroughly addressed, particularly, the connection he made between trauma and language. Miguel Gutierrez-Pelaez offers a new reading of Ferenczi by proposing a dialogue between the Hungarian psychoanalyst's work, philosophy, and contemporary psychoanalysis. Among the subjects covered, the book delves into the vulnerability of children and Ferenczi's never-ending search for a cure, the complex issue of war trauma and, more specifically, his anticipatory work in understanding the effects on the human psyche of the horrific experiences in concentration camps during World War II. These issues are raised against the backdrop of captivating figures like Jacques Lacan, Emmanuel Levinas, Giorgio Agamben, Derrida, Nietzsche, and Primo Levi, among others.

Diario de una soledad
«Hay unas pequeñas rosas rosadas sobre el escritorio. Qué extraña tristeza suelen desprender las rosas de otoño...» «Por primera vez en semanas, estoy aquí sola, dispuesta a retomar mi vida "real". Eso es lo extraño: que ni los amigos, ni siquiera los amores apasionados, son mi vida real, a menos que disponga de un tiempo a solas para explorar y descubrir cuanto está ocurriendo, o cuanto ya ha ocurrido». May Sarton espera abrirse camino «entre las abruptas y rocosas profundidades para llegar al núcleo de la matriz, donde aún quedan iras y violencias no resueltas. Mi necesidad de estar a solas siempre está en contrapunto con el miedo a todo aquello que sucederá si de repente, una vez adentrada en el enorme y vacío silencio, no puedo encontrar apoyo alguno». Sarton escribe con un riguroso sentido de la observación y una gran carga emocional sobre el mundo interior y exterior: las estaciones, la vida cotidiana, los libros, la gente, las ideas; y a medida que se detiene en todo ello, va conformando su viaje artístico y espiritual. En este libro nos encontramos más cerca que nunca de la esencia de su escritura.
