This book presents an examination and exploration of the concept of omnipotence, its qualities and expression as a psychic state, its origins in the psyche and its appearance in the psychoanalytic process and in society. Linked with narcissism but underdeveloped as a concept in its own right, omnipotence is explored in this book from a range of psychoanalytic perspectives, including its positive value in normal development through to its potential as a destructive element in the personality. The Omnipotent State of Mind is presented in five parts, each exploring a specific theme. The contributors explore omnipotence in infants, children, adolescents and adults, consider why it is so difficult to give up, and examine how the omnipotent state of mind is expressed in culture and society. The range of attitudes towards omnipotence within different psychoanalytic traditions is represented by the international selection of contributors. The Omnipotent State of Mind will be of great interest to psychoanalysts in practice and in training, to psychoanalytic psychotherapists and to other professionals interested in omnipotent states of mind.
This book presents the early history of psychoanalysis, focusing on the network of psychoanalytic "filiations" and the context of discovery of crucial concepts, such as Freud's technical recommendations, the therapeutic use of countertransference, and the psychotherapeutic treatment of psychoses.

Aktuelle Zukunftsprognosen für die Menschheit sind meist düster: Die gegenwärtigen großen Transformationsprozesse werden häufig als existenzielle Krisen wahrgenommen. Die Art und Weise, wie diese Krisenhaftigkeit in Sprachbildern, Konzepten oder Ritualisierungen ausgedrückt wird, beeinflusst ihre Wahrnehmung und bestimmt den Erwartungs- und Handlungsraum der Betroffenen. Unter dem Begriff der "Semantisierung" werden die dabei grundlegenden Prozesse aus der Perspektive der Theologien und religionsbezogenen Wissenschaften analysiert.
Rassismus ist ein unerledigtes Problem moderner Gesellschaften. Das Ineinander von Rationalität und Irrationalität prädestiniert Rassismus zum Gegenstand Kritischer Theorie: Diese verbindet gerade in den Varianten ihrer ersten Generation (Adorno, Horkheimer u.a.) die Perspektive auf Funktion und objektive Genese von Ideologien mit psychologischem Blick auf subjektive Verarbeitungsformen. Um Rassismus in eine Gesellschaftstheorie einzubetten, widmet sich Ulrike Marz den drei Kategorien Gesellschaft, Ökonomie und Subjekt. Damit erweitert sie den theoretischen Blickwinkel auf Rassismus und vermittelt mithilfe der Kritischen Theorie Gegensatzpaare, die oft nur einseitig beschieden werden: Objektivismus - Subjektivismus, Natur - Kultur, Partikularismus - Universalismus.
Kaum jemand hat ein ganzes Zeitalter durch sein Denken so tiefgreifend verändert wie Sigmund Freud. Nach Freud träumen und lieben, denken und phantasieren wir anders. Diese grandiose Biographie schildert Freuds Leben und die Entwicklung der Psychoanalyse als großen Roman des Geistes. Wien im sinkenden 19. Jahrhundert: Eine bessere Kulisse für die Seelenleiden des modernen Menschen, für seine Existenzlügen und zerbrechenden Selbstbilder, als die prachtvoll morbide Hauptstadt des k.u.k.-Reiches ist kaum vorstellbar. Hier arbeitet der Nervenarzt Sigmund Freud an seinen bahnbrechenden Theorien zu Sexualität und Neurose, Traum und Unbewusstem, Familie und Gesellschaft, Märchen und Mythos....

The Clinical Paradigms of Melanie Klein and Donald Winnicott seeks to introduce the distinctive psychoanalytic basic principles of both Klein and Winnicott, to compare and contrast the way in which their concepts evolved, and to show how their different approaches contribute to distinctive psychoanalytic paradigms. The aim is twofold – to introduce and to prompt research. The book consists of five main parts each with two chapters, one each by Abram and Hinshelwood that describes the views of Klein and of Winnicott on 5 chosen issues: Basic principles Early psychic development The role of the external object The psychoanalytic concept of psychic pain Conclusions on divergences and convergences Each of the 5 parts will conclude with a dialogue between the authors on the topic of the chapter. The Clinical Paradigms of Melanie Klein and Donald Winnicott will appeal to who are being introduced to psychoanalytic ideas and especially to both these two schools of British Object Relations.
