Traumatic Ruptures Downloaded by [New York University] at 01:46 15 August 2016 TRAUMATIC RUPTURES For much of its history, psychoanalysis has been strangely silent about sudden ruptures in the analytic relationship and their immediate and far-reaching effects for those involved. Such issues of betrayal and abandonment—the death of an analyst, a patient’s suicide, an ethical violation—disrupt the stability and cohesion of the analytic framework and leave indelible marks on both individuals and institutions alike. In Traumatic Ruptures, an international range of contributors present fi rst- person, highly personal and sometimes painful accounts of their experiences and the occasionally diffi cult yet redeeming lessons they have taken from them. Presented in four parts, the book explores multiple meanings and consequences of the break in the analytic relationship. Part I, Ruptured Subjectivity: Lost and Found, presents accounts of clinical encounters with death. Part II, Rupture: The Clinical Process, addresses the sudden loss of an analyst, the trauma of patient suicide, and the issue of countertransfer- ence when working with patients who have suffered the unexpected loss of their fi rst analyst. Part III, The Long Shadow of Rupture, examines the effects of ethical viola- tions in the short and long term. Finally, Part IV, Ruptures’ Impact on Organizations, looks at the wider impact of ethical and sexual boundary violations in the context of an organization and the effect of trauma on a psychoanalytic institute. By giving voice to issues that are usually silenced, the authors here open the door to understanding the complex nature of traumatic rupture within the analytic fi eld. This intimate exploration of psychoanalytic treatments and communities is ideal for psychoanalysts, psychologists, clinical social workers, psychiatrists, and family therapists. It is an important text for clinicians working with individuals who have experienced traumatic ruptures and for members of organizations dealing with their effects.

Relational Perspectives Book Series Lewis Aron & Adrienne Harris Series Co-Editors Steven Kuchuck & Eyal Rozmarin Associate Editors UUp The Relational Perspectives Book Series (RPBS) publishes books that grow out of or contribute to the relational tradition in contemporary psycho- analysis. The term relational psychoanalysis was fi rst used by Greenberg and Mitchell (1983) to bridge the traditions of interpersonal relations, as developed within interpersonal psychoanalysis and object relations, as developed within contemporary British theory. But, under the seminal work of the late Stephen Mitchell, the term relational psychoanalysis grew and began to accrue to itself many other infl uences and developments. Various tributaries—interpersonal psychoanalysis, object relations theory, self-psychology, empirical infancy research, and elements of contemporary Freudian and Kleinian thought—fl ow into this tradition, which understands relational confi gurations between self and others, both real and fantasied, as the primary subject of psychoanalytic investigation. We refer to the relational tradition, rather than to a relational school, to high- light that we are identifying a trend, a tendency within contemporary psycho- analysis, not a more formally organized or coherent school or system of beliefs. Our use of the term relational signifi es a dimension of theory and practice that has become salient across the wide spectrum of contemporary psychoanalysis. Now under the editorial supervision of Lewis Aron and Adrienne Harris, with the assistance of Associate Editors Steven Kuchuck and Eyal Rozmarin, the Relational Perspectives Book Series originated in 1990 under the editorial eye of the late Stephen A. Mitchell. Mitchell was the most prolifi c and infl uential of the originators of the relational tradition. He was committed to dialogue among psychoanalysts and he abhorred the authoritarianism that dictated Downloaded by [New York University] at 01:46 15 August 2016 adherence to a rigid set of beliefs or technical restrictions. He championed open discussion, comparative and integrative approaches, and he promoted new voices across the generations. Included in the Relational Perspectives Book Series are authors and works that come from within the relational tradition, extend and develop the tradition, as well as works that critique relational approaches or compare and contrast it with alternative points of view. The series includes our most distinguished senior psychoanalysts, along with younger contributors who bring fresh vision.

    “SACRED PSYCHOANALYSIS” – AN INTERPRETATION OF THE EMERGENCE AND ENGAGEMENT OF RELIGION AND SPIRITUALITY IN CONTEMPORARY PSYCHOANALYSIS by JAMES ALISTAIR ROSS A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham July 2010 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT From the 1970s the emergence of religion and spirituality in psychoanalysis is a unique development, given its traditional pathologizing stance. This research examines how and why ‘sacred psychoanalysis’ came about and whether this represents a new analytic movement with definable features or a diffuse phenomena within psychoanalysis that parallels developments elsewhere. After identifying the research context, a discussion of definitions and qualitative reflexive methodology follows. An account of religious and spiritual engagement in psychoanalysis in the UK and the USA provides a narrative of key people and texts, with a focus on the theoretical foundations established by Winnicott and Bion. This leads to a detailed examination of the literary narratives of religious and spiritual engagement understood from: Christian; Natural; Maternal; Jewish; Buddhist; Hindu; Muslim; Mystical; and Intersubjective perspectives, synthesized into an interpretative framework of sacred psychoanalysis.

  • Freud, Stern and Mcgilchrist: Developmental and Cultural Implications of Their Work
    volume 3 no. 2 (8) 2019 DOI:10.14394/eidos.jpc.2019.0021 Daniel Burston Psychology Department Duquesne University Freud, Stern and McGilchrist: Developmental and Cultural Implications of Their Work Abstract: “Human beings have two fundamentally different ways of thinking about and engaging with the world.” Some variant of this proposition is shared by many thinkers across time. This paper focuses on the core similarities and the subtle (but significant) differences between Freud’s theory of primary and secondary processes, Karl Stern’s theory of the scientific and poetic modes of knowledge and Iain McGilchrist’s account of the differences between left and right-hemispheric competences, values and ways of “being-in-the-world”. It asks whether (or to what extent) the collective tendency to privilege one “way of knowing” over another promotes or inhibits optimal human development and cultural change and transformation. Keywords: psychoanalysis, modes of knowing, hemispheric dominance, modernity, postmodernism Two Ways of Knowing the World? In October of 2009, Iain McGilchrist, an eminent psychiatrist and literary scholar, published a remarkable book entitled The Master and His Emissary. The book is 608 pages long, and divided into two parts, but its thesis can be summarized as follows. The right and left cerebral hemispheres almost invariably work in unison. But they possess different qualities, competences, and embrace – or better yet, embody – very different values. The right hemisphere processes information in ways that are intuitive, non-verbal, holistic and context-sensitive, 109 Eidos.

  • British Psychoanalysis
    British Psychoanalysis British Psychoanalysis: New Perspectives in the Independent Tradition is a new and extended edition of The British School of Psychoanalysis: The Independent Tradition, which explored the successes and failures of the early environment; transference and counter-transference in the psychoanalytic encounter; regression in the situation of treatment, and female sexuality. Published in the mid-1980s, it had an important influence on the development of psychoanalysis both in Great Britain and abroad, was translated into several languages and became a central textbook in academic and professional courses. This new, updated book includes not only many of the original papers, but also new chapters written for this volume by Hannah Browne, Josh Cohen, Steven Groarke, Gregorio Kohon, Rosine Perelberg and Megan Virtue. Addressing and reflecting on the four main themes of the first collection, the new papers discuss such subjects as: • a new focus on earliest infancy • new directions in Independent clinical thinking • the question of therapeutic regression • the centrality of sexual difference in Freud. They also highlight the connections between and the mutual influence of British and French psychoanalysis, now a critical subject in contem- porary psychoanalytic debates. British Psychoanalysis: New Perspectives in the Independent Tradition will be important not only to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psycho- therapists and the full spectrum of professionals involved in mental health. It will be of great value in psychotherapy and counselling training and an important resource for teaching and academic activities. Gregorio Kohon is a Training Analyst of the British Psychoanalytical Society. His psychoanalytic publications include Reflections on the Aesthetic Experience: Psychoanalysis and the Uncanny, published by Routledge in 2016.

The Ten Doctors: A Graphic Novel by Rich Morris Chapter 1 3 Rich's Notes: The 10th Doctor, in order to keep the peace, attempts to explain the situation to Ace and Rose. Ace, however, has an advantage. She's seen some of the Doctor's previous incarnations in a strange time trap set up by the Rani (The 30th Anniversary special: Dimensions in Time, which blew chunks). The 2nd Doctor arrives, seemingly already understanding the situation, accompanied by Jamie and Zoe. (The 2nd Doctor arrives from some curious timeline not fully explained by the TV series.

  • Journeys in Psychoanalysis: the Selected Works of Elizabeth Spillius
    Downloaded by [New York University] at 03:54 14 August 2016 Journeys in Psychoanalysis Spanning six decades, this collection, Journeys in Psychoanalysis: The selected works of Elizabeth Spillius, traces the arc of her career from anthropology and entering psychoanalysis ‘almost by accident’, to becoming one of her generation’s leading scholars of Melanie Klein. Born in 1924 in Ontario, Canada, Elizabeth arrived at the London School of Economics for postgraduate studies in the 1950s and soon embarked on a ground- breaking study of family life in the East End of London that produced a PhD and her fi rst book, Family and Social Network, under her maiden name Elizabeth Bott. Published by the Tavistock Institute in 1957, it remains one of the most infl uential works published on the sociology of the family. These papers are a testament to the luminous intellect and understated compassion that Elizabeth has always brought to her work. They vividly map not just the evolution of Elizabeth’s career but the development of Melanie Klein’s thought, often drawing in compelling fashion on the writer’s own experiences with her patients. Each is written with the clarity and concision that makes diffi cult concepts eminently comprehensible to psychoanalysts, psychoanalytic psychother- apists and laymen alike. Elizabeth Spillius studied general psychology at the University of Toronto (1945), social anthropology at the University of Chicago, the London School of Economics and the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations (1945–1957) and psychoanalysis at the Institute of Psychoanalysi s in London (1956 to the present). She is esteemed for her clinical work and her teaching, and has published a wealth of books and Downloaded by [New York University] at 03:54 14 August 2016 papers.
