The Infinite Infantile and the Psychoanalytic Task is a fascinating
collection of essays that proposes to restore and elaborate
original conceptions of the complexity of mental processes in the
early years of life until the onset of adolescence, and from then
until adulthood. This book, led by the Committee on Child and
Adolescent Psychoanalysis (COCAP) of the International
Psychoanalytical Association (IPA), commits to shedding light on
new developments in theory and practice in this area. Each chapter
offers an expression of current thinking and clinical work with
child and adolescent patients, as well as with their parents,
families, and community. The complex contributions by brilliant and
erudite scholars offer a fresh take on the existing body of thought
on infancy and childhood in psychoanalysis that will challenge and
enlighten readers of all backgrounds. Within these perspectives,
the development of internal and external bonds is the focus, as
well as a consideration of how analysts work in their time with
young patients at these key moments of the life cycle. With their
expertise in childhood, the contributors share complex views on the
link between analysis with young children and psychoanalysis with
adults, making it an essential read for child and adolescent
psychoanalysts in practice and in training.

A Psychoanalytic Exploration of the Body in Today's World: On the
Body examines the importance of the body in everyday psychoanalytic
practice and beyond. Written by world leading clinicians and
international scholars, this important book aims to relocate the
psychoanalytic body in the modern, more challenging world. Bringing
together perspectives from across the range of psychoanalytic
schools of thought, it covers essential analytic topics such as
family and parenting, sex and gender, illness and psychosomatics,
and concepts of the body in infancy. Though in Freud's writing the
intertwining of body and psyche is fundamental, psychoanalytic
thought has sometimes downplayed or ignored this idea. This book
returns the body to its rightful place in psychoanalysis, and
brings the body into the contemporary world of technology and
change, offering fresh insight into the sick body, the sexual body,
the speaking body, the body of the changing family in which the
traditional gendered labels no longer fit seamlessly, gender
dynamics and much more. A Psychoanalytic Exploration of the Body in
Today's World gives renewed and increased emphasis to an essential
tenant of psychoanalysis. With contributions from some of the most
important modern psychoanalysts, this book will prove an essential
work for both psychotherapists and academics.
