First and fore- most, I would like to thank those directly involved in its coming into being. Brett Kahr, who first proposed the idea, and Caroline Bainbridge and Candida Yates, the series editors, who have given me the honour not only of being included in this exciting series, but also many other aspects of their prolific endeavours in psycho- analysis and culture. Those at Karnac Books who have so beneficently guided me through this process; Constance Govindin, Rod Tweedy, and Kate Pearce, who so helpfully and rapidly responded to my myriad e-mails, and Oliver Rathbone for taking this book on. I would also like to thank the journal Psychoanalysis, Culture and Society who first published my clinical paper “TMI in the transference LOL: Psychoanalytic reflections on Google, social networking, and ‘virtual impingement’ ”, which served as the basis for Chapter Two of this book. I am also eternally grateful to Alain Bartolo, a true and trea- sured friend, who was a constant source of encouragement and help- ful criticism, and the first reader of so much of this book. Alain, merci. Further, this book would never have been possible were it not for my own client “Thomas”, who was not only instrumental in helping me vii viii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS think through the implications of our own “virtual impingement” and all that followed, but generously gave consent for me to use his mate- rial in this book. In writing a book there is a series of individuals who take on less formal roles that I would also like to thank. Foremost, I would like to thank two of my mentors, who have both “parented” me in deeply important ways in my development as a psychotherapist and writer, Andrew Samuels and Susie Orbach, both of whom have been pioneers in the application of the depth psychologies to society and culture. The executive board and members of the Relational School have all been there from the start, providing a fertile proving ground for this material, testing it, challenging it, and adding spice and content. I am grateful to the entire membership for their contribution and particu- larly the executive board; Shoshi Asheri, Sally Berry, Robert Downes, Jane Haberlin, Sue Jenssen, Pam Kleinot, Marsha Nodelman, Jane Nairne, and Judy Yellin. Also highly influential to me are my friends and colleagues at the Centre for Psychoanalytic Studies at the Univer- sity of Essex, particularly Matt ffytche and Kevin Lu, alongside all the wonderful students who passed through our classes. I am also grate- ful to Ford Hickson for his help in my understanding of statistical and quantitative studies. No book can be written without the love and support of those around you. On this point, the biggest acknowledgement goes out to my civil and life partner, Will Nutland, who, as part of his very being, effortlessly assuages my doubts, consistently settles my insecurities, and grounds me in the solid foundations of his love and affection. To Richard Kahwagi, not just for creating the beautiful cover, but also for his wonderfully accessible warmth, effervescent curiosity, humour, and relentless support. And to Juan Sanchez, whose quiet and patient belief in me has been profoundly sustaining. I am deeply lucky to have a large family of origin and family of choice: too many to name. However, I would especially like to thank my mother, Leslie Balick Picker, and father, Stanley Balick, to whom I owe so much; my dear sister, Kheyala Rasa, and her two wonderful children, Ananda and Zack, who came back into my life during the writing of this book; and my stepfather, Lester Picker, who has been a great support. To my extended family, you know who you are, and to my family of choice all over the globe, I am most deeply grateful.

To HB and TT In memory of SWB ABOUT THE AUTHOR Aaron Balick is a UKCP registered psychotherapist and supervisor, and a media and social networking consultant working in London. He is also an honorary lecturer at the Centre for Psychoanalytic Studies at the University of Essex, where he participates in the postgraduate MA and PhD programmes in psychoanalytic studies; in addition, he lectures and runs workshops in a variety of psychotherapy trainings in the UK. As a founding and executive member of the Relational School UK, he works to develop and promote relational thinking in the UK and abroad. Dr Balick writes for both academic and lay audiences, having published several academic articles and book chapters, while at the same time contributing a psychological angle in the national press and on national radio; he has also written a self-help book for children. He is a media spokesperson for the UKCP and a regular contributor, as the “resident psychotherapist”, to BBC Radio 1’s phone-in show, The Surgery with Aled and Dr Radha. xi SERIES EDITORS’ PREFACE The application of psychoanalytic ideas and theories to culture has a long tradition and this is especially the case with cultural artefacts that might be considered “classical” in some way. For Sigmund Freud, the works of William Shakespeare and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe were as instrumental as those of culturally renowned poets and philosophers of classical civilisation in helping to formulate the key ideas underpinning psychoanalysis as a psychological method. In the academic fields of the humanities and social sciences, the application of psychoanalysis as a means of illuminating the complexities of iden- tity and subjectivity is now well established. However, despite these developments, there is relatively little work that attempts to grapple with popular culture in its manifold forms, some of which, neverthe- less, reveal important insights into the vicissitudes of the human condition. The “Psychoanalysis and Popular Culture” book series builds on the work done since 2009 by the Media and the Inner World research network, which was generously funded by the UK’s Arts and Human- ities Research Council. It aims to offer spaces to consider the relation- ship between psychoanalysis in all its forms and popular culture, which is ever more emotionalised in the contemporary age. xiii xiv SERIES EDITORS’ PREFACE In contrast to many scholarly applications of psychoanalysis, which often focus solely on “textual analysis”, this series sets out to explore the creative tension of thinking about cultural experience and its processes, with attention to observations from the clinical and scholarly fields of observation. What can academic studies drawing on psychoanalysis learn from the clinical perspective and how might the critical insights afforded by scholarly work cast new light on clin- ical experience? The series provides space for a dialogue between these different groups with a view to creating fresh perspectives on the values and pitfalls of a psychoanalytic approach to ideas of self- hood, society, and popular culture. In particular, the series strives to develop a psycho-cultural approach to such questions by drawing attention to the usefulness of a post-Freudian, object-relations perspective for examining the importance of emotional relationships and experience.

Unmasking the Right of Publicity † DUSTIN MARLAN In the landmark 1953 case of Haelan Laboratories v. Topps Chewing Gum, Judge Jerome Frank first articulated the modern right of publicity as a transferable intellectual property right. The right of publicity has since been seen to protect the strictly commercial value of one’s “persona”—the Latin-derived word meaning the mask of an actor. Why might Judge Frank have been motivated to fashion a transferable right in the monetary value of one’s public persona distinct from the psychic harm to feelings, emotions, and dignity rooted in the individual and protected under the rubric of privacy? Judge Frank was a leading figure in the American legal realist movement known for his unique and controversial “psychoanalysis of certain legal traditions” through influential books including Law and the Modern Mind. His work drew heavily on the ideas of psychoanalytic thinkers, like Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, to describe the distorting effects of unconscious wishes and fantasies on the decision-making process of legal actors and judges.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Self-Perception and Performance. Exploratory research into the narcissists’ first 20 months within a corporate graduate recruitment programme. A dissertation presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Human Development Studies Massey University, Palmerston North New Zealand Jeff Simpson 2012 Dedicated to, Tracy, Sarah, Hannah, and Jamie. i Abstract The intent of this exploratory study was to examine the nature and impact of narcissism in the early career stages of a graduate cohort, where there has previously been little applied narcissism research. Self-reports on self- perception and critical self-insight were obtained individually from 63 new recruits in a multi-national company as part of a graduate recruitment programme. Self-report data were collected on day one of the recruits’ induction programme followed by repeated data collections at nine months and at twenty months into their employment. In addition, at months nine and twenty, two line managers of each recruit completed indicators on their perceptions of the recruits’ actual work performance. Using a newly designed narcissistic traits indicator, line managers also indicated their views of each recruit’s narcissistic tendencies. Results obtained indicated ten of the sixty three graduates had significant narcissistic tendencies. The self-ratings of recruits were subsequently compared to their actual performance as rated by their managers.

  • Dissertation in an Environment Containing Academic Conditions and Academic Demands
    Can a Psychotherapy Student Authentically Grow Under Academic Demands: A Heuristic Inquiry James N. J. C. Loh 2018 Can a Psychotherapy Student Authentically Grow Under Academic Demands: A Heuristic Inquiry James. N. J. C. Loh A thesis submitted to Auckland University of Technology In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Of Master of Health Science 2017 Discipline of Psychotherapy School of Public Health and Psychosocial Studies Faulty of Health and Environmental Science i Abstract Psychotherapy practice is said to promote its client’s personal growth by creating an environment containing conditions needed for clients to authentically be themselves. This research aims to explore a parallel process, namely, to discover if a researcher and psychotherapist in training can achieve authentic growth during the process of writing a dissertation in an environment containing academic conditions and academic demands. This research asserts that accruing knowledge in training for a chosen profession benefits from being carried out in alignment with the way that profession values knowledge. However, the academic environment in which psychotherapy training occurs appears to include an intolerance of ambiguity, a demand to be clear and straightforward, and an assumption that privileges intellectual understanding, all of which are at odds with the value psychotherapy places on the inclusion of the unconscious and the unknown needed for authentic growth. Exploration of the tension between these two sets of values may prove a useful focus of inquiry for both the profession and its trainees. Using a heuristic methodology and method, and guided by Donald Winnicott’s idea of the “true self,” this research will seek to discover, during the dissertation writing process, aspects of that work which either promote or diminish the ability to grow authentically.

André Zandoná The Use of Photography as a Clinical Tool in Social Work: A Theoretical Exploration Using Winnicottian and Jungian Lenses ABSTRACT In this theoretical study, the photographic process was examined as having the potential to be used as a psychodynamic clinical tool in social work. Psychodynamic theoretical concepts by Carl Jung and Donald W. Winnicott were examined as guiding principles that will allow clinicians to understand how photography can be useful as a means to understand one’s internal experience as well as external relationship with the world. This body of work presented current and potential uses of the camera as an instrument in interpreting the world according to one’s subjectivity. In addition to theoretical examination, this research study also presented real application of photography as it is used by local communities to empower specific communities of color the use of photography as a clinical tool in social work is a potentially relevant and culturally lucrative opportunity in community advocacy and empowerment work.

  • Ethnic Identity: a Psychoanalytic Critique
    Psychology in society (PINS), 1994, 19, 18-30 ETHNIC IDENTITY: A PSYCHOANALYTIC CRITIQUE Leonard Bloom London ''.Beware of those who prefer to individuals the idea of humanity that they have invented. " Andre Gide (1948:1290) INTRODUCTION. In this paper I examine ethnicity and identity-formation in South Africa. I use psychoanalytic theories of some pathological aspects of narcissism to interpret how ethnic identity is an attempt to defend the self against feelings of vulnerability and inferiority that are concealed by manifest aggressive and assertive social behaviour. It is claimed that the intensity and persistence of ethnicity in South Africa is one of the results of racist ideologies and practices, and it is therefore implied that as racism is abated so will the intensity of ethnicity diminish. APPROACHES TO UNDERSTANDING NARCISSISM. It is one of the paradoxes of Freud's thought that his paper "On Narcissism" (1914) should lead to discussions of the psychology of group behaviour in Group psychology and the analysis of the ego (1921) and The ego and the id (1923). Freud showed how intimately related, indeed how inseparable, were the motivations and emotional states that explain individual and social behaviour. Freud's basic position is that there are two stages in the development of narcissism: primary and secondary. The origins of primary narcissism are in early infancy when the baby is interested in no other world but its own body. Although in reality it lives in a world of Others upon whom it depends for its very survival, for nourishment and love, it gives little or nothing in return.

  • Calling and Discernment Jim Merhaut
    Calling and Discernment Jim Merhaut Is it a Call from God or Something Else? God calls us every day, but how do we know that what we are experiencing is a calling from God? Am I following a voice that is true and rooted in God’s love, or am I following a voice that someone else wrongly gave to me (perhaps even with good intentions), or am I following a voice that I have created in selfishness? God is calling us to live more faithfully to our true selves (the self that is rooted in love for God, neighbor, and self) in every aspect of our lives. What does it look like to have love at the core of a calling? Here are eight characteristics that could help you discern whether or not you are following an authentic Christian calling: • I am following a voice that is calling me to build loving relationships, not to create division in relationships. • I am following a voice that leads me deeper into a communal experience, not deeper into isolation. • I am following a voice that is consistent with the Good News of Jesus Christ presented in the four Gospels, and if there are conflicting biblical voices, the Gospel voice has priority. • I am following a voice that is inspired by the witness of others who are dedicated to building a more loving world. • I am following a voice that is consistent with my life situation, including my interpersonal commitments, the condition of my body, my talents and strengths, and the events around me.
