In this highly praised volume, West Coast psychoanalytic
clinician-scholars reflect on essential ideas about the mechanisms
of change that makes psychoanalysis work. The authors bring an
open-minded, inclusive, and independent-thinking perspective that
builds upon the fundamental tenets of psychoanalytic knowledge,
theory, and technique. Contributors include the following leading
U.S. West Coast psychoanalysts: Hedda Bolgar, Christopher
Christian, Michael J. Diamond, Morris Eagle, Tom Helscher, Nancy
Hollander, Beth Kalish, Peggy Porter, Stephen Portuges, Leo
Rangell, Linda Sobelman, Alan Spivak, and Peter Wolson."
Psychoanalysis in the Barrios: Race, Class, and the Unconscious
demonstrates that psychoanalytic principles can be applied
successfully in disenfranchised Latino populations, refuting the
misguided idea that psychoanalysis is an expensive luxury only for
the wealthy. As opposed to most Latin American countries, where
psychoanalysis is seen as a practice tied to the promotion of
social justice, in the United States psychoanalysis has been viewed
as reserved for the well-to-do, assuming that poor people lack the
"sophistication" that psychoanalysis requires, thus heeding
invisible but no less rigid class boundaries. Challenging such
discrimination, the authors testify to the efficacy of
psychoanalysis in the barrios, upending the unfounded widespread
belief that poor people are so consumed with the pressures of
everyday survival that they only benefit from symptom-focused
interventions. Sharing vivid vignettes of psychoanalytic
treatments, this collection sheds light on the psychological
complexities of life in the barrio that is often marked by poverty,
migration, marginalization, and barriers of language, class, and
race. This interdisciplinary collection features essays by
distinguished international scholars and clinicians. It represents
a unique crossover that will appeal to readers in clinical
practice, social work, counselling, anthropology, psychology,
cultural and Latino studies, queer studies, urban studies, and
sociology.
This book explores the internal and external boundaries of
psychoanalysis. It examines the interrelationships between various
psychoanalytic theoretical and clinical perspectives as well as
between psychoanalysis and other disciplines.
Since its inception, and throughout its history, psychoanalysis has
been defined as a psychology of conflict. Freud's tripartite
structure of id, ego and superego, and then modern conflict theory,
placed conflict at the center of mental life and its understanding
at the heart of therapeutic action. As psychoanalysis has developed
into the various schools of thought, the understanding of the
importance of mental conflict has broadened and changed. In
Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Conflict, a highly distinguished
group of authors outline the main contemporary theoretical
understandings of the role of conflict in psychoanalysis, and what
this can teach us for everyday psychoanalytic practice. The book
fills a gap in psychoanalytic thinking as to the essence of
conflict and therapeutic action, at a time when many theorists are
re-conceptualizing conflict in relation to aspects of mental life
as an essential component across theories. Psychoanalytic
Perspectives on Conflict will be of interest to psychologists,
psychoanalysts, social workers, and other students and
professionals involved in the study and practice of psychoanalysis,
psychotherapy, cognitive science and neuroscience.
