Dynamics of Psychoanalytic Institutions
Dynamics of Psychoanalytic Institutions provides a thorough appraisal of the current state of psychoanalytic groups and how they might move forward under fraught conditions, representing the outcome of many years of work by the Institutional Matters Forum (IMF). This erudite book presents the thoughts, experiences, reflections, and outcomes of the IMF, a long-standing working group of the European Psychoanalytical Federation (EPF). Organisational and group dynamic issues have a great influence on the life of psychoanalytic societies. However, they are often lived through as part of institutional and professional daily lives or retold as part of a history, marked with frequent conflicts, disruptions, splits and impasses. This book recognises the need to explore the structure, culture, organisation and unique characteristics of psychoanalytical organisations and to provide the space and tools for reflection. Consisting of seven psychoanalysts from seven different countries, the IMF group charts the origins of analytic societies, explores group mentality and considers the impact on the global experience of war and the COVID pandemic on psychoanalytic institutions.
The Curiosity Drive
After eighteen frustrating months heading a specialist adolescent unit, Philip Stokoe applied for a training in consultation at the Tavistock Clinic based on the 'Tavi' aka 'group relations' model. This experience changed his life and, ultimately, led to this book, The Curiosity Drive: Our Need for Inquisitive Thinking. Embedding the training into his working life, Stokoe came to recognise the crucial importance of curiosity to the development of the mind. Alongside love and hate, it is a primary drive inside each of us. Without the desire to 'know', human evolution would take a very different path. Philip Stokoe outlines the work of Freud, Klein, and Bion to provide a firm foundation to his...
Loss
The experience of loss is ubiquitous in human life, but its nature and impact have great variations. When loss is phase-specific, expected, and accompanied by compensatory supplies, it can lead to ego growth. When loss is untimely, unexpected, and unaccompanied by environmental 'holding,' it becomes traumatic and needs clinical attention. This edited volume brings together a distinguished cadre of international contributors in order to explain the multifaceted and nuanced nature of loss from a variety of different perspectives. These clinicians, administrators, and writers delineate the great variability in the setting, antecedents, and consequences of loss. Development-facilitating and deve...
O objeto sobrevivente
Neste livro, Jan Abram propõe e elabora o conceito dual do objeto intrapsíquico sobrevivente e não sobrevivente e examina como a sobrevivência psíquica do objeto coloca a Mãe/Outro no centro da psique nascente, à frente mesmo da relevância dos fatores inatos. As elaborações clínicas-teóricas de Abram trazem avanços a vários conceitos-chave de Winnicott. E suas ilustrações clínicas revelam como esses avanços surgem a partir da matriz transferência-contratransferência da situação de análise. Capítulo a capítulo, os leitores testemunham a evolução das suas propostas que não apenas ampliam o olhar sobre o paradigma clínico original de Winnicott, mas também demonstra...
The Surviving Object
In this book, Abram proposes and elaborates the dual concept of an intrapsychic surviving and non surviving object and examines how psychic survival-of-the-object places the early m/Other at the centre of the nascent psyche before innate factors are relevant. Abram’s clinical-theoretical elaborations advance several of Winnicott’s key concepts. Moreover, the clinical illustrations show how her advances arise out of the transference-countertransference matrix of the analyzing situation. Chapter by chapter the reader witnesses the evolution of her proposals that not only enhance an appreciation of Winnicott’s original clinical paradigm but also demonstrate how much more there is to glean...
The Politics of War Memory and Commemoration
War memory and commemoration have had increasingly high profiles in public and academic debates in recent years. This volume examines some of the social changes which have led to this development, among them the passing of the two World Wars from survivor into cultural memory. Focusing on the politics of war memory and commemoration, the book illuminates the struggle to install particular memories at the centre of a cultural world, and offers an extensive argument about how the politics of commemoration practices should be understood.
The Work of Psychic Figurability
Based on experience of analytic practice and illustrated by fascinating clinical material, this book addresses what the authors call the work of figurability as a way of outlining the passage from the unrepresentable to the representational.
