Infant Research and Adult Treatment is the first synoptic rendering
of Beatrice Beebe's and Frank Lachmann's impressive body of work.
Therapists unfamiliar with current research findings will find here
a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of infant competencies.
These competencies give rise to presymbolic representations that
are best understood from the standpoint of a systems view of
interaction. It is through this conceptual window that the
underpinnings of the psychoanalytic situation, especially the ways
in which both patient and therapist find and use strategies for
preserving and transforming self-organization in a dialogic
context, emerge with new clarity. They not only show how their
understanding of treatment has evolved, but illustrate this process
through detailed descriptions of clinical work with long-term
patients. Throughout, they demonstrate how participation in the
dyadic interaction reorganizes intrapsychic and relational
processes in analyst and patient alike, and in ways both consonant
with, and different from, what is observed in adult-infant
interactions. Of special note is their creative formulation of the
principles of ongoing regulation; disruption and repair; and
heightened affective moments. These principles, which describe
crucial facets of the basic patterning of self-organization and its
transformation in early life, provide clinical leverage for
initiating and sustaining a therapeutic process with difficult to
reach patients. This book provides a bridge from the phenomenology
of self psychological, relational, and intersubjective approaches
to a systems theoretical understanding that is consistent with
recent developments in psychoanalytic therapy and amenable to
further clinical investigation. Both as reference work and teaching
tool, as research-grounded theorizing and clinically relevant
synthesis, Infant Research and Adult Treatment is destined to be a
permanent addition to every thoughtful clinician's bookshelf.
The extent and irreversibility of US decline is becoming ever more
obvious as America loses war after war and as one industry after
another loses its technological edge. Lachmann explains why the
United States will not be able to sustain its global dominance. He
contrasts America's relatively brief period of hegemony with the
Netherlands' similarly short primacy and Britain's far longer era
of leadership. Decline in all those cases was not inevitable and
did not respond to global capitalist cycles. Rather, decline is the
product of elites' success in grabbing control of resources and
governmental powers. Not only are ordinary people harmed, but also
capitalists become increasingly unable to coordinate their
interests and adopt policies and make investments necessary to
counter economic and geopolitical competitors elsewhere in the
world. Conflicts among elites and challenges by non-elites
determine the timing and mould the contours of decline. Lachmann
traces the transformation of US politics from an era of elite
consensus to present-day paralysis combined with neoliberal
plunder, explains the paradox of an American military with an
unprecedented technological edge unable to subdue even the weakest
enemies, and the consequences of finance's cannibalisation of the
US economy.
This highly interdisciplinary project presents new results and
the state of the art of knowledge in the psychology and
neurophysiology of language, reading and dyslexia. It concentrates
on basic cognitive functions of understanding and producing
language and disorders within its spoken and written execution. The
book grew out of the Basic Mechanisms of Language and Language
Disorders conference (Leipzig, Sept. 1999).

This book explores how we can understand the place of music from a
self psychological perspective, by investigating three journeys:
the one we take when listening to music, the literal journey of the
author from Nazi Germany to the United States, and the subjective
round-trip between the past and the present. Drawing on the work of
Heinz Kohut, the author examines how music can provide us with a
way to reconnect with a sense of self, and how this can manifest in
psychological and physical ways. There is particular reference to
the work of Richard Wagner, Cole Porter, and Richard Strauss, and
an examination of how their music enabled them, in times of stress
and crisis, to restore and maintain a more positive sense of self.
Finally, the book looks back at the author's own experiences of
music and the place of music in the Jewish world. With clinical
excerpts, personal narrative, and sophisticated psychoanalytic
insights, this book will appeal to all psychoanalysts wanting to
understand the place of music in shaping the psyche, as well as
music scholars wishing to gain a deeper appreciation of the
psychology of music.
Narrative and Meaning examines the role of both in contemporary
psychoanalytic practice, bringing together a distinguished group of
contributors from across the intersubjective, relational, and
interpersonal schools of psychoanalytic thought. The contributions
propose that narratives or stories in a variety of non-verbal and
verbal forms are the foundation of mind, creativity, and the
clinical dialogue. From the beginning of life, human experience
gains expression through the integration of perception, cognition,
memory and affect into mini or complex narratives. This core
proposal is illustrated in chapters referencing creativity,
psychoanalytic process, gesture, and sensory-motor activity,
dreams, music, conflicting narratives in couples, imaginative
stories of adopted children, identity, and individuality. Including
a major revision in theory based upon an expanded definition of
narrative, this book is an essential read for any contemporary
psychoanalyst wishing to use narrative in their practice. Featuring
essential theory and a wealth of practical clinical material,
Narrative and Meaning will appeal greatly to both psychoanalysts
and psychoanalytic psychotherapists.

Microbes have evolved in an impressive and diverse range of
strategies to subvert the host immune system. Two major types of
strategies exist. The first is the evasion of recognition by the
host, for example by using antigenic variation, masking of
epitopes, the use of decoys, molecular mimicry, etc. The second is
the modulation and/or suppression of the innate (e.g. complement,
NK cells) and adaptive (e.g. antibodies) immune responses. A better
understanding of the underlying mechanisms involved is critical for
the rational design of novel therapeutic agents and vaccines to
treat and/or prevent infectious diseases. Another area of active
research is the application of microbial immunomodulatory factors
in the treatment of human immunological disorders (e.g.
inflammatory bowel disease and asthma) and as sources of
pharmacologically active agents. In this book, internationally
renown scientists critically review the current cutting-edge
research in this area. Topics covered include the
An Experience-based Vision of Psychoanalytic Theory and Practice
looks at each individual as a motivated doer doing, seeking,
feeling, and intending, and relates development, sense of self, and
identity to changes that are brought about in analytic
psychotherapy. Based on conceptualizing experience as it is lived
from infancy throughout life, this book identifies three major
pathways to development and applies Lichtenberg, Lachmann, and
Fosshage’s experience-based vision to psychoanalytic
psychotherapy. Using detailed clinical narratives and vignettes, as
well as organizational studies, the book takes up the distinction
between a person’s responding to a failure in achieving a goal
with disappointment and seeking an alternative path, or with
disillusion and a collapse in motivation. From the variety of
topics covered, the reader will get a broad overview of an
experience-based analytic conception of motivation begun with
Lichtenberg’s seven motivational systems. This title will be of
great interest to established psychoanalysts, as well as those
training in psychoanalysis and clinical counselling psychology
programs.
