The Enigma of Desire: Sex, Longing and Belonging in Psychoanalysis,
introduces new perspectives on desire and longing, in and outside
of the analytic relationship. This exciting volume explores the
known and unknown, ghosts and demons, sexuality and lust. Galit
Atlas discusses the subjects of sex and desire and explores what
she terms the Enigmatic and the Pragmatic aspects of sexuality,
longing, female desire, sexual inhibition, pregnancy, parenthood
and creativity. The author focuses on the levels of communication
that take place in the most intimate settings: between mothers and
their babies; between lovers; in the unconscious bond of two
people- in the consulting room, where two individuals sit alone in
one room, looking and listening, breathing and dreaming. Atlas
examines the ways in which different languages, translations and
integrations focus on birth, death, sexuality, and human bonds. In
The Enigma of Desire each chapter opens with a narrative, a
therapeutic story which illustrates both the analyst's and
patient's desires and the ways these interact and emerge in the
consulting room. This book will be of interest to anyone who is
interested in the intricacies of sex and desire and of great appeal
to psychoanalysts, therapists and mental health professionals.
This extraordinary volume offers a sampling of Lewis Aron's most
important contributions to relational psychoanalysis. One of the
founders of relational thinking, Aron was an internationally
recognized psychoanalyst, sought after teacher, lecturer, and the
Director of the New York University Postdoctoral Program in
Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis. His pioneering work introduced
and revolutionized the concepts of mutuality, the analyst's
subjectivity, and the paradigm of mutual vulnerability in the
analytic setting. During the last few years of his life, Aron was
exploring the ethical considerations of writing psychoanalytic case
histories and the importance of self-reflection and skepticism not
only for analysts with their patients, but also as a stance towards
the field of psychoanalysis itself. Aron is known for his singular,
highly compelling teaching and writing style and for an
unparalleled ability to convey complex, often comparative
theoretical concepts in a uniquely inviting and approachable way.
The reader will encounter both seminal papers on the vision and
method of contemporary clinical practice, as well as cutting edge
newer writing from the years just before his death. Edited and with
a foreword by Galit Atlas, each chapter is preceded by a new
introduction by some of the most important thinkers in our field:
Jessica Benjamin, Michael Eigen, Jay Greenberg, Adrienne Harris,
Stephen Hartman, Steven Kuchuck, Thomas Ogden, Joyce Slochower,
Donnel Stern, Merav Roth, Chana Ullman, and Aron himself. This book
will make an important addition to the libraries of experienced
clinicians and psychoanalytic scholars already familiar with Aron's
work, as well as students, newer professionals or anyone seeking an
introduction to relational psychoanalysis and one of its most
stunning, vibrant voices.

In Dramatic Dialogue, Atlas and Aron develop the metaphors of drama
and theatre to introduce a new way of thinking about therapeutic
action and therapeutic traction. This model invites the patient's
many self-states and the numerous versions of the therapist's self
onto the analytic stage to dream a mutual dream and live together
the past and the future, as they appear in the present moment. The
book brings together the relational emphasis on multiple
self-states and enactment with the Bionian conceptions of reverie
and dreaming-up the patient. The term Dramatic Dialogue originated
in Ferenczi's clinical innovations and refers to the patient and
therapist dramatizing and dreaming-up the full range of their
multiple selves. Along with Atlas and Aron, readers will become
immersed in a Dramatic Dialogue, which the authors elaborate and
enact, using the contemporary language of multiple self-states,
waking dreaming, dissociation, generative enactment, and the
prospective function. The book provides a rich description of
contemporary clinical practice, illustrated with numerous clinical
tales and detailed examination of clinical moments. Inspired by
Bion's concept of "becoming-at-one" and "at-one-ment," the authors
call for a return of the soul or spirit to psychoanalysis and the
generative use of the analyst's subjectivity, including a
passionate use of mind, body and soul in the pursuit of
psychoanalytic truth. Dramatic Dialogue will be of great interest
to all psychoanalysts and psychotherapists.
"Galit Atlas deftly shows why the hurts and stuckness that can
plague us can be faced and, yes, dissolved. Contemporary
psychoanalysis at its best." - Susie Orbach, author of Fat Is a
Feminist Issue Past family trauma can keep us unconsciously
connected to the past. It shapes our lives in ways we don't always
recognise, and can keep us from living to our full potential. In
this transformative book, award-winning psychoanalyst Dr Galit
Atlas draws back the veil on the legacy of intergenerational
trauma. Entwining the stories of her patients, her own stories, and
decades of research, she shows how the people we love and those who
raised us live inside us - how we take on their emotional pain -
and she helps us identify the links between our life struggles and
the 'emotional inheritance' we all carry. For it is only by
following the traces those ghosts leave that we can truly change
our destiny.
