This book aims to establish the position of the sidekick character
in the crime and detective fiction literary genres. It re-evaluates
the traditional view that the sidekick character in these genres is
often overlooked as having a small, generic or singular role-either
to act as the foil to the detective in order to accentuate their
own abilities at solving crimes, or else to simply tell the story
to the reader. Instead, essays in the collection explore the
representations and functions of the detective's sidekick across a
range of forms and subgenres of crime fiction. By incorporating
forms such as children's detective fiction, comics and graphic
novels and film and television alongside the more traditional fare
of novels and short stories, this book aims to break down the
boundaries that sometimes exist between these forms, using the
sidekick as a defining thread to link them together into a wider
conceptual argument that covers a broad range of crime narratives.
Essential reading for anyone interested in contemporary
psychotherapy, Contemporary Jungian Analysis, written by members of
the Society of Analytical Psychology in London, covers the key
concepts of Jungian analysis and therapy as it is practised today.
Each chapter brings together two essays by different authors to
give different perspectives on themes which are of common interest
to psychotherapists of all persuasions. Topics include:
* infancy
* gender
* transference
* popular culture
* assessment and pathology
* dreams and active imagination
* the training of the therapist
* religious and spiritual issues.
Lorca in English examines the evolution of translations of Federico
Garcia Lorca into English as a case of rewriting and manipulation
through politically and ideologically motivated translation. As new
translations of Federico Garcia Lorca continue to appear in the
English-speaking world and his literary reputation continues to be
rewritten through these successive re-translations, this book
explores the reasons for this constant desire to rewrite Lorca
since the time of his murder right into the 21st century. From his
representation as the quintessential Spanish Republican martyr, to
his adoption through translation by the Beat Generation, to his
elevation to iconic status within the Queer Studies movement, this
volume analyzes the reasons for this evolution and examines the
current direction into which this canonical author is heading in
the English-speaking world.
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 political
Trickster, particularly the female Trickster; the father; relations
between women and men; and his celebrated and radical critique of
the Jungian idea of 'the feminine principle'. Clinical material
consists of his work with parents and on the therapy relationship.
The book concludes with his seminal and transparent work on Jung
and anti-semitism and an intriguing account of the current
trajectory of the Jungian field. Samuels has written a highly
personal and confessional introduction to the book. Each chapter
also has its own topical introduction, written in a clear and
informal style. There is also much that will challenge the
long-held beliefs of many working in politics and in the social
sciences. This unique collection of papers will be of interest to
psychotherapists, Jungian analysts, psychoanalysts and counsellors
- as well as those undertaking academic work in those areas.
Andrew Samuels has established an international practice as a
political consultant, working with senior politicians, political
parties and activist groups. His lectures and workshops on the
application of 'therapy thinking' to social and political issues
attract wide interest. His previous books in this area, such as The
Political Psyche and Politics on the Couch, have been widely
appreciated. Now, in a long-anticipated tour-de-force that is both
compassionate and intellectually stimulating, this book deepens in
a new and innovate style his engagement with themes such as
economics, ecopsychology, leadership, aggression and violence, the
role of the individual in progressive politics, and sexuality and
spirituality in political contexts. The reader is encouraged to
move beyond conventional professional or academic discourse by the
inclusion of experiential exercises in the text. In this way,
activism and analysis, public and private, therapeutic and
more-than-personal are all brought together in a satisfying yet
challenging synthesis.

This is an accessible, lucid and stimulating account of the hidden
psychology of politics and the hidden politics of the psyche. It is
packed with original and imaginative ideas on economics,
nationalism, "good-enough" leadership, the citizen and the state,
women and men, fatherhood, and the citizen as a "therapist of the
world". The author offe
The language of Jung's writings, and of analytical psychology generally, is sometimes difficult to understand. This guide, in dictionary format, combines scholarship and historical accuracy with a stimulating, critical attitude.
Jungian psychology has taken a noticeable political turn in the
recent years, and analysts and academics whose work draws on Jung's
ideas have made internationally recognised contributions in many
humanitarian, communal and political contexts. This book brings
together a multidisciplinary and international selection of
contributors, all of whom have track records as activists, to
discuss some of the most compelling issues in contemporary
politics. Analysis and Activism is presented in six parts: Section
One, Interventions, includes discussion of what working outside the
consulting room means, and descriptions of work with displaced
children in Colombia, projects for migrants in Italy and of an
analyst's engagement in the struggles of indigenous Australians.
Section Two, Equalities and Inequalities, tackles topics ranging
from the collapse of care systems in the UK to working with victims
of torture. Section Three, Politics and Modernity, looks at the
struggles of native people in Guatemala and Canada and oral history
interviews with members of the Chinese/Vietnamese diaspora. Section
Four, Culture and Identity, studies issues of race and class in
Brazil, feminism and the gendered imagination, and the introduction
of Obamacare in the USA. Section Five, Cultural Phantoms, examines
the continuing trauma of the Cultural Revolution in China, Jung's
relationship with Jews and Judaism, and German-Jewish dynamics.
Finally, Section Six, Nature: Truth and Reconciliation, looks at
our broken connection to nature, town and country planning, and
relief work after the 2011 earthquake in Japan. There remains
throughout the book an acknowledgement that the project of thinking
forward the political in Jungian psychology can be problematic,
given Jung's own questionable political history. What emerges is a
radical and progressive Jungian approach to politics informed by
the spirit of the times as well as by the spirit of the depths.
This cutting-edge collection will be essential reading for Jungian
and post-Jungian academics and analysts, psychotherapists,
counsellors and psychologists, and academics and students of
politics, sociology, psychosocial studies and cultural studies.
