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.
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.
