The Fifteenth Triannual Congress of the International Association for Analytical Psychology (IAAP) took place on the grounds of St. John's College in Cambridge, England from 19 to 24 August 2001. It was a memorable occasion both in its preparation and its incarnation and the present volume is meant to preserve at least a portion of what transpired: the papers comprising the program. The presentations and events were more far-reaching and all-inclusive than ever before, incorporating numerous political and intercultural issues and including representatives from psychoanalysis and other fields of endeavour for the first time.
What can depth psychology and politics offer each other? In The Political Psyche Andrew Samuels shows how the inner journey of analysis and psychotherapy and the passionate political convictions of the outer world are linked. He brings an acute psychological perspective to bear on public themes such as the market economy, environmentalism, nationalism, and anti-Semitism. But, true to his aim of setting in motion a two-way process between depth psychology and politics, he also lays bare the hidden politics of the father, the male body, and of men's issues generally. A special feature of the book is an international survey into what analysts and psychotherapists do when their patients/clients bring overtly political material into the clinical setting. The results, including what the respondents reveal about their own political attitudes, destabilize any preconceived notions about the political sensitivity of analysis and psychotherapy. This Classic Edition of the book includes a new introduction by Andrew Samuels.
Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnosis (OPD) is a form of multiaxial diagnostic and classification system based on psychodynamic principles, analogous to those based on other principles such as DSM-IV and ICD-10. The OPD is based on five axes: I = experience of illness and prerequisites for treatment, II = interpersonal relations, III = conflict, IV = structure, and V = mental and psychosomatic disorders (in line with Chapter V (F) of the ICD-10). After an initial interview lasting 1–2 hours, the clinician (or researcher) can evaluate the patient's psychodynamics according to these axes and enter them in the checklists and evaluation forms provided. The new version, OPD-2, has been developed from a purely diagnostic system to include a set of tools and procedures for treatment planning and for measuring change, as well as for determining the appropriate main focuses of treatment and developing appropriate treatment strategies.
Andrew Samuels is one of the best known figures internationally in the fields of psychotherapy, Jungian analysis, relational psychoanalysis and counselling, and in academic studies in those areas. His work is a blend of the provocative and original together with the reliable and scholarly. His many books and papers figure prominently on reading lists in clinical and academic teaching contexts. This self-selected collection, Passions, Persons, Psychotherapy, Politics, brings together some of Samuels' major writings at the interface of politics and therapy thinking. In this volume, he includes chapters on the market economy; prospects for eco-psychology and environmentalism; the role of the po...
Sigmund Freud was a trained neuroanatomist and wrote his first psychoanalytical theory in neuroscientific terms. Throughout his life, he maintained the belief that at some distant day in the future, all psychoanalytic processes could be tied to a neural basis: "We must recollect that all of our provisional ideas in psychology will presumably one day be based on an organic substructure" (Freud 1914, On Narcissism: An Introduction). Fundamental Freudian concepts reveal their foundation in the physiological science of his time, most importantly among them the concept of libidinous energy and the homeostatic "principle of constancy". However, the subsequent history of psychoanalysis and neurosci...
This book serves as a practical and comprehensive introduction to depression and its deep roots in trauma. Marianne Leuzinger-Bohleber looks at the heterogeneous and complex phenomenon of depression and considers a range of topics essential to those faced with the challenge posed by the illness. Throughout the chapters, Leuzinger-Bohleber looks at the central experience of powerlessness and helplessness, the impact of trauma and transgenerational transmission, as well as clinical research and medical intervention. Throughout, she reviews and explains up-to-date clinical research findings and guides the reader on how to apply these in a clinical setting across a wide range of aspects within the psychodynamic understanding of depression. Including a review of both classical psychoanalytic texts and state-of-the-art empirical research, this introductory book is an invaluable resource for psychoanalysts and psychotherapists in private practice and Public Health institutions alike. The clear and accessible style also make it a vital resource for students of clinical psychology, medicine, anthropology, cultural studies, the educational sciences, and beyond.

Ce pot psihologia abisală și politica să-și ofere una celeilalte? În Psihicul politic, Andrew Samuels arată cum călătoria interioară a analizei, psihoterapia și convingerile politice pasionate ale lumii exterioare sunt într-o permanentă conexiune. El vine cu o perspectivă psihologică asupra unor teme publice precum economia de piață, environmentalismul, naționalismul și antisemitismul. Dar, fidel țelului său de a pune în mișcare un proces de comunicare între psihologia abisală și politică, el expune de asemenea politicile ascunse conținute în figura tatălui, în trupul masculin și în problemele generale ale bărbaților. Deosebit de interesant este studiul internațional pe care îl realizează Samuels cu privire la comportamentul și demersul analiștilor, psihologilor și psihoterapeuților când pacienții aduc în cadrul clinic material cu un caracter inerent și direct politic. Rezultatele acestui studiu, inclusiv ce dezvăluie repondenții în legătură cu propriile atitudini politice, destabilizează orice prejudecăți și noțiuni preconcepute despre sensibilitatea politică a psihanalizei și psihoterapiei.
Die Schicksale des ausgesetzten Königssohns Ödipus, von Odysseus, Persephone, Jason, Medea und vielen anderen Gestalten der Antike erinnern daran, dass Migration, Flucht und Trauma so alt sind wie die Menschheit selbst und sich in unbewussten Phantasien bei Individuen und Gruppen niedergeschlagen haben. Sie bilden oft unerkannte Quellen für Neugier und Interesse an Geflüchteten einerseits, aber auch von Fremdenhass, Antisemitismus und antimuslimischem Rassismus andererseits. Sie tragen zu den Spaltungsprozessen in vielen europäischen Gesellschaften im Zusammenhang mit der aktuellen Flüchtlingskrise bei. Zudem wecken Bilder von traumatisierten Geflüchteten Assoziationen zum Thema Traum...
