Downloaded by [New York University] at 12:11 14 August 2016 Towards a Radical Redefinition of Psychology Downloaded by [New York University] at 12:11 14 August 2016 Towards a Radical Redefinition of Psychology Miller Mair, clinical psychologist and psychotherapist, devoted his life to developing a psychology that provided a radical alternative to the behavioural, and latterly cogni- tive-behavioural, approaches that have dominated the field. He presented this work in a wide range of publications and conference papers, and prior to his untimely death in 2011 he had selected a number of these for a volume of his collected works. This book is based upon Miller’s selection, and includes several previously unpublished papers as well as others that are now out of print. Miller was considerably influenced by George Kelly’s personal construct psychol- ogy, as is apparent in most of his writings. However, his papers on psychology and psychotherapy also draw upon an extraordinarily wide range of other fields of knowl- edge, including imagery, metaphor, storytelling and narrative, rhetoric, discourse and conversation, poetry, and spirituality. These concerns are reflected in the contributions selected for this volume, which also demonstrate the variation in his style of writing from the more conventionally academic to the personal and poetic as he developed a ‘poetics of experience’ and a stance of ‘conversational inquiry’. Miller’s final publication was entitled ‘Enchanting psychology’, and it is hoped that this volume will provide an antidote to the disenchantment that many readers may feel with mechanistic and reductionist approaches in psychology and its clinical appli- cations, and more generally in health service rhetoric and policies. As these writings vividly demonstrate, a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist can, and should, also be a poet, artist, and storyteller. The volume will be of value to readers previously unfamiliar with Miller’s ideas, but also to those who know his work, who will find here the first published selection of his papers.

World Library of Mental Health Series The World Library of Mental Health celebrates the important contributions to mental health made by leading experts in their individual fields. Each author has compiled a career-long collection of what they consider to be their finest pieces: extracts from books, journals, articles, major theoretical and practical contributions, and salient research findings. For the first time ever the work of each contributor is presented in a single volume so readers can follow the themes and progress of their work and identify the contribu- tions made to, and the development of, the fields themselves. Each book in the series features a specially written introduction by the contributor giving an overview of his career, contextualizing his selection within the development of the field, and showing how his own thinking developed over time.

  • The Efficacy of Psychotherapy for Borderline Personality Disorder: a Review

CIDIE El objetivo principal de este estudio fue comparar la eficacia de diferentes psicoterapias utilizadas para el tratamiento del Trastorno Límite de Personalidad (TLP) con el fin de analizar y comprender qué terapias obtienen mejores resultados y por qué. Para ello se llevó a cabo una revisión sistemática de las publicaciones realizadas desde 1990 en las principales bases de datos (Psylnfo, Medline, Psicodoc y Google Scholar). Los resultados mostraron por una parte, que las principales psicoterapias para el TLP eran la Terapia Dialéctica Conductual, la Terapia Basada en la Mentalización y la Terapia Basada en Esquemas entre otras y, por otra, que todas ellas eran eficaces. Hay que remarcar que cada una de dichas terapias, tal y como indican los resultados, era significativamente eficaz sobre diferentes problemáticas como el control de conductas autolíticas y autolesivas, no obstante, algunos aspectos como la regulación emocional seguían resistiéndose en muchos casos. Palabras clave: Trastorno límite de la personalidad, Revisión sistemática, Psicoterapia. The main objective of this investigation is the efficacy comparison of the different psychotherapies for Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), with the aim of analyzing and understanding which therapies obtain better results and why. To this end, a systematic review was carried out on the current psychotherapies for BPD. First of all, the results showed that the psychotherapies most used for BPD were Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mentalization-Based Treatment (MBT) and Schema-Based Therapy (SBT), among others, and all of them were efficacious.

    CONVERSATION IN THE MAKING OF MIND: THE ART AND SCIENCE OF PSYCHOTHERAPY CONFERENCE PROGRAM Enquiries: Anne Malecki Tel: 02 8004 9873 Email: [email protected] AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND ASSOCIATION OF PSYCHOTHERAPY 27th ANNUAL CONFERENCE 23 - 25 September 2016 State Library of NSW, Macquarie Street, Sydney The idea that certain kinds of conversation can facilitate psychobiological changes associated with the emergence of self is the main theme of this year’s conference. Drawing on theoretical, clinical and empirical data, Jungian analyst and author, and our most welcomed guest speaker, Dr Jean Knox, will set the scene with her discussion on the clinical and neurological processes and underpinnings involved in the promotion of self-agency. Dr Kamal Touma’s discussion on the analytical and analogical aspects of mind in the therapeutic conversation is grounded in the conversational model’s theory and promises to be a lively and thought-provoking presentation. These two foundational talks will open up a broad but focussed range of discussions that will make this year’s conference a rewarding and enriching experience for all attending. Welcome and enjoy.

The touchstone of validity is my own experience.’ Carl Rogers ‘A defining feature of our thinking lies in our not assigning any greater intrinsic validity to the analyst’s world of reality than to the patient’s.’ Robert Stolorow and George Atwood 3 Acknowledgements. I have had a growing interest in the ‘bits around the edge’ of therapy, the quick exchange on the stairs, the subtle look that changes as clients comes in the door and the general ‘parapraxes’ (Freud ’01) and nuances of our exchanges. In parallel I have had a similar growing interest in the bits around the edges of books: the preface, the after word and, that give-away of the emotional journey of the author, the acknowledgements. When a writer speaks about how much colleagues or family or friends have meant to them in their work it now has more of an emotional resonance for me, having been on my own journey.

  • 'I Do Not Exist': Pathologies of Self Among Western Buddhists
    Journal of Religion and Health (2019) 58:748–769 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10943-019-00794-x ORIGINAL PAPER ‘I Do Not Exist’: Pathologies of Self Among Western Buddhists Judith Pickering1 Published online: 28 March 2019 © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract This paper presents a clinical case involving a patient sufering ‘depersonalisation’ who had a psychotic episode at a Buddhist retreat. Recent writing on possible psy- chological risks of meditation has discussed problems of depersonalisation associ- ated with misunderstandings of the Buddhist conception of non-self (anātman) and emptiness (śūnyatā). Drawing on the work of Winnicott and Bion, this article helps us to realise some of what is at stake in the failure to achieve and maintain an efec- tive sense of self. What does Buddhist talk of non-self really mean? What condi- tions enable a creatively engaged and meaningful relational life, a sense of aliveness, human fourishing and a capacity for alterity? Keywords Depersonalisation · Derealisation · Non-self (anātman) · Emptiness (śūnyatā) · Self · Alterity · Nihilism · Jung · Bion · Lévinas · Winnicott ‘Eve’ Eve1 arrives for her frst session. I hear the gate open, close, then silence. I go to open the door in welcome, but intuitively hold back. There is a tentative knock so quiet that I would not have heard it if I wasn’t already waiting by the door. I open it. Eyes downcast, she says very difdently, ‘well, … here I am’.
