This is the third volume in the series "Contemporary Freud: Turning Points and Critical Issues," published for the International Psychoanalytical Association. Each volume presents a classic essay by Freud with commentaries by prominent psychoanalytic teachers and analysts from different theoretical backgrounds and geographical locations. Observations on Transference-Love may have been inspired, say the contributors, by the unfortunate emotional involvements of two of Freud's colleagues with female patients. In his paper, Freud speaks of the inevitability of transference-love in every well-conducted analysis, its important therapeutic functions, and its potential hazards.The contributors to this volume Ethel Spector Person, Friedrich-Wilhelm Eickhoff, Robert S. Wallerstein, Roy Schafer, Max Hernandez, Betty Joseph, Merton Max Gill, Fidias Cesio, Jorge Canestri, Takeo Doi, and Daniel N. Stern place in the context of his evolving thinking: focus on what it tells us about love, female sexuality, and conventional morality; discuss the role of the therapist in the genesis of the patient's transference love; explore the differences between remembering, reliving, and enacting; and examine Freud's theory in light of current developments in psychoanalytic thought. Transference love is discussed in the larger context of transference in general. The essays illuminate a persistent problem in all modalities of psychotherapy: unfortunate, often tragic, enactments of erotic transference and countertransference.This volume also includes the original essay by Freud."

Der 8. Band der Lindauer Texte enthalt die Vortrage des Leitthemas der ersten Woche der Lindauer Psychotherapiewochen: Das Narrativ - aus dem Leben Erzahltes. Die hier veroffentlichten Vortrage zeigen die vielfaltigen Moglichkeiten mit Erzahltem umzugehen auf. In den verschiedenen Formen therapeutischen Handelns wird jeweils anders erzahlt; Therapeutin und Therapeut laden dazu mit ihrem Setting recht unterschiedlich ein. Sie haben, auch beruhend auf dem bevorzugtem theoretischen Hintergrund andere Moglichkeiten, mit "aus dem Leben Erzahltem" umzugehen. Vieles wird in den Erzahlungen konstruiert und deutend rekonstruiert, der psychoanalytische Dialog fuhrt so zu wichtigen Lebenszusammenhangen. Im narrativen Selbst findet aus dem Leben Erzahltes ein umfassendes theoretisches Konzept.

In Feeling Strong, noted psychoanalyst Ethel S. Person redefines the notion of power. The stigma of evil we associate with the subject of power comes from this one conception of power -- the drive for dominance over other people, or, in its most extreme form, an overriding and often ruthless lust for total command. But this is far too limited a definition.

Pointing to a more fulfilling sense of self-empowerment than is being touted in pop-psychology manuals of our time, Feeling Strong shows us that power is really our ability to produce an effect, to make something we want to happen actually take place. Power is a desire and a drive, and it is central in our lives, dictating much of our behavior and consuming much of our interior lives.

Drawing from her expertise honed in clinical practice, as well as from examples in literature and true-life vignettes, Person shows how you can achieve authentic power to find something that matters; to feel inner certainty; to find a personality of your own and effectively plot your life story.
