This latest volume in the Psychoanalysis and Women Series for the
Committee on Women and Psychoanalysis of the International
Psychoanalytical Association presents and discusses theoretical and
clinical work from a number of authors worldwide. It clearly
demonstrates that there is no typical development of homosexuality
and that each individual's object-choice can only be grasped by
examining their psychic history. While the therapeutic work
requires no special adaptation of technique, countertransferential
difficulties which may arise and stem in part from cultural
representations about gender differences are fully explored. The
book includes a unique retrospective view by Ralph Roughton over
three time points which charts changes in considering the analyst's
response within the wider cultural context.
This latest book in the Karnac series of Psychoanalysis and Women
from the International Psychoanalytic Associations' Committee on
Women and Psychoanalysis (COWAP) includes writings from practising
psychoanalysts mainly from Italy and Europe. They take a wide sweep
in exploring many aspects of women's creativity with an emphasis
throughout the chapters the contribution of dreaming to creativity.
It takes as its starting point creativity in clinical work in the
consulting room, and puts forward new perspectives on
psychoanalytic theory. The focus then turns to creativity in the
life cycle, particularly when there are delays and difficulties in
becoming pregnant, as well as the everyday creativity in overcoming
obstacles to intimacy and coupling and being able to allow the
female body in particular to be receptive to growing and nurturing
an infant human being. It turns next to aspects of female
creativity in the arts in the broadest sense, discussing artworks
and sculpture, film and literature. Lastly, it considers aspects of
creative living in society, the large, small and unseen creativity
in culture, society and the structures that we live with.This book
is dedicated to the memory of Mariam Alizade, who as the second
Chair of COWAP, lived with such creativity.
This important and wide-ranging book explores the world of a child
or young person who has been abused or neglected. It seeks to
understand their world, to ease the pain from which they suffer,
and to heal the wounds that the abuse has left. Examining how abuse
always takes place in the context of relationships, and involves a
misuse of power that causes a traumatic overwhelming of the child
or adolescent, abuse also evokes strong countertransference. This
affects interventions, particularly when clinicians struggle with
feelings of which they may feel ashamed. A difficulty in coming to
terms with and addressing child abuse relates to unconscious
factors which, by freezing the emotional area surrounding the abuse
(or by blinding the area of personality), makes some thoughts
unthinkable. Considering traditional and novel ways of helping
children who feel they have been maltreated, the book offers
suggestions for individual treatment as well as describing the
successful work carried out with child refugees. It also offers a
glimpse into what child psychoanalysts interpret and do with
children who feel a parent hates them.
The book begins by describing, within a psychodynamic approach,
some traits an infant may bring to an intervention, followed by
descriptions of interventions in several specialised perinatal
settings. Several chapters focus on parent-infant families who have
experienced considerable anxiety and depression, and those who have
experienced trauma and lived borderline experiences or of mental
illness. An innovative intervention which successfully engaged
young parents and their infants so that most of them felt they
could understand and relate to their newborn infant is next
outlined. Turning to most parents of an infant in a neonatal
intensive care unit who feel traumatised which may impact on the
emotional relationship with their infants, there is often a need
for psychodynamic exploration before these difficulties can be
modulated. With such interventions the staff become more containing
and may more likely seek an intervention for a premature infant in
their own right, attuned to the meaning of his or her mood and
behaviour. Infant-parent therapy in paediatric contexts, infants in
groups, and relating to infant and parents in the context of family
violence are briefly described.
Seminal and representative papers have been chosen to illustrate
the vital importance of infant observation in psychoanalytic
training, tracing influences on the practice of infant observation
and contemporary developments. The book outlines the thinking that
has evolved since Esther Bick s introduction of this innovative
component in Tavistock child psychotherapy and British
Psychoanalytical Society training. With a newly written substantial
general introduction, and Esther Bick's central paper on infant
observation, other authors include Jeanne Magagna, Anthony Cantle,
Maggie Cohen, Juliet Hopkins, Didier Houzel and Helga Coulter. More
contemporary contributions include Aiveen Bharucha, Jane Blatt,
Dimitra Bekos, Sally Moskowitz and Graham Music."
This book presents a wide range of psychoanalytic writing on
masculinity and femininity from British, European, and North and
South American perspectives, exploring how masculine and feminine
aspects are structured and evolve in the child, adolescent and
adult. The authors address from a background of considerable
clinical experience how masculinity and femininity manifest in the
body, gender, sex, sexuality and the life-cycle, and cover aspects
both productive and generative, constricted and defended. The
importance of the parenting couple and their bond with the child in
the forming of masculine and feminine idenitities is emphasized.
Beginning with an overview of the development of masculinity, the
developmental perspective is explored in how adolescents discover
their sexuality and come to 'own' their sexual bodies. Different
types of disturbance are explored including the early defence
mechanism of disavowal of difference. The development of the
masculine and feminine aspects of the psychoanalyst and how these
aspects influence analytic work are considered, in particular the
role of the male analyst in transformations of masculinity. The
analyst must have sufficiently worked through his/her own mental
bisexuality, to have internalized a good parental couple in order
to be able to listen to the mental bisexuality of the patient. The
book ends with a glimpse of the young child's struggle with issues
of sexuality and difficulties in constructing a gender identity.
The authors aim to explore what constitutes masculinity and
femininity in an accessible way not only for psychoanalytic
psychotherapists but also for the wider public.
This book gathers together a number of cutting edge contributions
about the female body, inside and out, from a large group of

and in the life-cycle, and f
This book is a collection of papers by clinicians united in their
conviction about the importance of directly engaging and
interacting with the baby in the presence of the parents whenever
possible. This approach, which draws on the work of Winnicott,
Trevarthen and Stern, honours the baby as subject. It re-presents
the baby to the parents who may in that way see a new child, in
turn shaping the infant's implicit memories and reflective
thinking. Recent neurobiological, attachment and developmental
psychology models inform the work. The book describes the
underpinning theoretical principles and the settings and forms of
direct clinical practice, ranging from work with acutely ill
babies, to more everyday interventions in crying, feeding and
sleeping difficulties, as well as infant-parent psychotherapy.
Clinicians at The Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne from the
disciplines of psychiatry, psychoanalysis, psychology, nursing,
speech pathology, child psychotherapy, paediatrics, and music
therapy describe their work with ill and suffering babies and their
families.

This book addresses aspects of how creativity is viewed in
psychoanalytic theory and worked with in the consulting room, with
particular reference to human generativity and the life cycle,
within the arts in the broadest sense and its workings in society
and culture in the widest sense.

psychoanalysts who are at the forefront of new thinking about
issues of femininity, the female body, sex and gender. It explores
the female body in art, in pregnancy and motherhood, in sexuality
and in the life-cycle, and finally the female body as scene of
crime. As a result this book covers aspects of female creativity in
its many aspects, both productive and generative and where there
are difficulties or impediments. The psychoanalysts writing for
this book have made an enormous contribution in the past and this
book therefore aims to stimulate, challenge and provoke further
discussion and new advances in this field.

This volume was written to help parents understand what their baby
is likely to be feeling in the first year. It describes how the
baby's sense of self develops, with intentionality, empathy, and
recognition of the self. Babies want to be enthusiastically enjoyed
and come into the world with a functioning mind, primed to
communicate and learn quickly. These ideas are of fundamental
importance for understanding babies. The main developmental
achievements of the first year are considered, such as coping with
separations and how thinking, self-esteem, and concern for others
develop. This book is important because it synthesises insights
from working therapeutically with babies, children, and adults with
those from infant research and infant observation and is
illustrated with examples. It is written by a clinician who has had
nearly two decades of specializing in work with distressed babies
and their families. It focuses on the baby's subjective experience
of the world, viewing the baby as a subject in his or her own
right, and in this way makes a unique contribution in the area of
understanding the early non-verbal experience of the tiny infant.
