In Growing Pains: Revising Child Development Theories and their
Application to Patients of All Ages, editors Henri Parens and
Salman Akhtar present a collection that draws on over 50 years
professional experience in child development. Contributors to this
collection touch on psychoanalytic conceptualizations of child
development, separation-individuation theory, personal clinical
experiences, the effects of trauma and neurodevelopmental disorders
in the mother-child relationship, and the intergenerational
transmission of trauma. This edited collection is recommended for
scholars and practitioners interested in psychoanalysis, child
development, and clinical psychology.
Psychoanalytic Trends in Theory and Practice serves as a guide for
the novice, and a refresher for the expert, into the history and
current status of major psychoanalytic concepts. Each chapter
author, reviews the development of a concept over the history of
psychoanalysis, includes clinical examples to illustrate the
concept, and identifies current questions about the topic. Further,
many chapters embody a developmental perspective, not just in terms
of an idea or concept, but also in terms of the individual; these
sections explore how the experiences of the child inform that of
the adult. M. Hossein Etezady, Inga Blom, and Mary Davis honor core
concepts that continue to inform contemporary psychoanalytic
practice, demonstrate the ongoing relevance and utility of the
psychoanalytic perspective, and provide a solid and integrative
foundation for further exploration into the next generation of
theory and clinical work.

What constitutes a lie? What are the different types of lies? Why
do people lie? Is dishonesty ubiquitous in human experience? And
what should be done with individuals who seek pschotherapeutic help
and yet can not reveal important aspects of their lives and even
fabricate histories, associations, and dreams? Such questions form
the backbone of this exceptional book. Starting with the emergence
of the capacity to lie in childhood and the formative influence of
the family in children's moral development, the discourse goes on
to include the variety of adulthood lies, including social lies,
existential lies, pathological lies, narcissistic lies, and
sociopathic lies. Contributions from distinguished psychoanalysts
like Salman Akhtar, Harold Blum, Ruth Fischer, Lucy LaFarge, Henri
Parens, and Michael Stone, along with others, explore the impact of
dishonesty on the internal and external realities of an individual.
Malignant forms of lies involving serious character pathology and
criminality, as well as their detection, are also discussed. The
book's aim is to help therapists enhance their empathy with
patients who are compelled to lie and to provide them with better
therapeutic strategies to deal with the clinical dilemmas that
arise in working with such children and adults.

The year 2006 marked the 150th anniversary of the birth of Sigmund
Freud, the father of psychoanalysis. To commemorate this event, the
Austrian government sponsored a number of academic and cultural
events. Among these was a historic gathering of representatives of
the four major United States psychoanalytic organizations: the
American Academy of Psychoanalysis and Dynamic Psychiatry, the
American Psychoanalytic Asociation, Division 39 of the American
Psychological Association, and the American Association for
Psychoanalysis on Clinical LSocial Work/NMCOP. The essays presented
by speakers from these organizations at the Embassy of Austria in
Washington, D.C., survey the tremendous and wide-ranging influence
that Freud had on history, contemporary society, culture and the
arts. The essays form the centerpiece of this book. Complementing
these wide-ranging essays are literary works and remarkable
photographs of Freud, his family, colleagues and patients which
were also presented during the commemorative celebrations of Freud
in the United States and Austria.
