In contemporary forms of psychoanalysis, particularly
intersubjective systems theory, the turn towards contextualism has
permitted the development of new ways of thinking and practicing
that have dispensed with the notion of isolated individuality. For
many who embrace this "post-subjectivist" way of thinking and
practicing, the recognition that all human experience is
fundamentally immersed in the world makes the question of
individuality seem confusing, even anachronistic. Yet the challenge
of individuality remains an important and pressing issue for
contemporary theory and practice; many clinicians are left to
wonder about the role of "individual" experience and how to
approach it conceptually or clinically.
This volume of original essays gives the problem of
individuality its due, without losing sight of the importance of
contextualized experience. Drawing on a variety of disciplinary
backgrounds - philosophical, developmental, biological, and
neuroscientific - the contributors address the tension that exists
between individuality and the emergence of contextualism as a
dominant mode of psychoanalytic theory and practice, thereby
providing unique insights into the role and place of individuality
both in and out of the clinical setting. Ultimately, these essays
demonstrate that individuality, no matter how it may be defined,
always occurs within a contextual web that forms the basis of human
experience.

This volume addresses the topic of embodiment in psychoanalysis
from both theoretical and clinical points of view. Freud's
development of a psychoanalytic theory and treatment originated
from his consideration of neurology, aphasia, and the great range
of embodied signs constituting the hysterical neuroses. Symptoms
and signs, Freud noted in 1895, "join in the conversation" by
taking bodily form. The body and the mind form a nexus, which is
the proper area of study for psychoanalysis. Because this is a vast
field of inquiry, a pluralistic perspective is taken by this
collection of papers, ranging from philosophic and semiotic
understandings of the body, to Freudian, Lacanian, feminist, and
object relations hypotheses. Clinical phsnomena such as
self-mutilation, fantasy about the body and its representations and
meanings, enactment, sexuality, and psychotic fragmentation are
addressed in an attempt to extend our understanding of the
psychoanalytic traditions that have evolved in relation to Freud's
discoveries. This volume includes representative work from
established psychoanalysts (Kalinich, Modell), psychoanalysts with
sophisticated philosophical grounding (Frie, Simpson), and
clinicians working with severely disturbed patients (Elmendorf,
Plakun, Tillman, Fromm).

This volume is the first concentrated effort to offer a
philosophical critique of relational and intersubjective
perspectives in contemporary psychoanalytic thought. The
distinguished group of scholars and clinicians assembled here are
largely preoccupied with tracing the theoretical underpinnings of
relational psychoanalysis, its divergence from traditional
psychoanalytic paradigms, implications for clinical reform and
therapeutic practice, and its intersection with alternative
psychoanalytic approaches that are co-extensive with the relational
turn. Because relational and intersubjective perspectives have not
been properly critiqued from within their own schools of discourse,
many of the contributors assembled here subject advocates of the
American Middle School to a thorough critique of their theoretical
assumptions, limitations, and practices. If not for any other
reason, this project is of timely significance for the field of
psychoanalysis and the competing psychotherapies because it
attempts to address the philosophical undergirding of the
relational movement.
History Flows through Us introduces a new dialogue between leading
historians and psychoanalysts and provides essential insights into
the nature of historical trauma. The contributors - German
historians, historians of the Holocaust and psychoanalysts of
different disciplinary backgrounds - address the synergy between
history and psychoanalysis in an engaging and accessible manner.
Together they develop a response to German history and the
Holocaust that is future-oriented and timely in the presence of
today's ethnic hatreds. In the process, they help us to appreciate
the emotional and political legacy of history's collective crimes.
This book illustrates how history and the psyche shape one another
and the degree to which history flows through all of us as human
beings. Its innovative cross-disciplinary approach draws on the
work of the historian and psychoanalyst Thomas Kohut. The volume
includes an extended dialogue with Kohut in which he reflects on
the study of German history and the Holocaust at the intersection
of history and psychoanalysis. This book demonstrates that the
fields of history and psychoanalysis are each concerned with the
role of empathy and with the study of memory and narrative. History
Flows through Us will appeal to general readers, students and
professionals in cultural history, Holocaust and trauma studies,
sociology, psychoanalysis, psychotherapy and psychology.
In this wide-ranging study of subjectivity and intersubjectivity,
Roger Frie develops a critical account of recent conceptions of the
subject in philosophy and pdychoanalytic theory. Using a line of
analysis strongly grounded in the European tradition, Frie examines
the complex relationship between the theories of subjectivity,
intersubjectivity, language and love in the work of a diverse body
of philosophers and psychoanalyists. He provides lucid
interpretations of the work of Sartre, Binswanger, Lacan, Habermas,
Heidegger, Freud and others. Because it integrates perspectives
from continental philosophy, analytical philosophy, and
psychoanalytic theory, this book will appeal to a wide audience in
the areas of philosophy, history of philosophy, psychoanalysis, and
social theory.
Originally published in 1939, this book contains a series of
unfinished lectures written by Roger Fry, the Slade Professor of
Fine Arts at the University of Cambridge. Fry's lectures cover a
wide range of artistic styles, from the art of Ancient Greece and
Egypt to American and Chinese art, as well as a review of art
history as an academic study. The text is accompanied by over three
hundred photographic plates of many important artworks. This book
will be of value to anyone with an interest in art history.
Beyond Postmodernism identifies ways in which psychoanalysis has
moved beyond the postmodern debate and discusses how this can be
applied to contemporary practice.
Roger Frie and Donna Orange bring together many of the leading
authorities on psychoanalytic theory and practice to provide a
broad scope of psychoanalytic viewpoints and perspectives on the
growing interdisciplinary discourse between psychoanalysis,
continental philosophy, social theory and philosophy of mind.
Divided into two parts, Psychoanalytic Encounters with
Postmodernism and Psychoanalysis Beyond Postmodernism, this
book:
- elaborates and clarifies aspects of the postmodern turn in
psychoanalysis
- furthers an interdisciplinary perspective on clinical theory
and practice
- contributes to new understandings of theory and practice beyond
postmodernism.
Beyond Postmodernism: New Dimensions in Clinical Theory and
Practice provides a fresh perspective on the relationship between
psychoanalysis and postmodernism and raises new issues for the
future. It will be of interest to practicing psychoanalysts and
psychologists as well as students interested in psychoanalysis,
postmodernism and philosophy.
Even as the Holocaust grows more distant with the passing of time,
its traumas call out to be known and understood. What is
remembered, what has been imparted through German heritage, and
what has been forgotten? Can familiar family stories be transformed
into an understanding of the Holocaust's forbidding reality? Author
Roger Frie is uniquely positioned to answer these questions. As the
son of Germans who were children during World War II, and with
grandparents who were participants in the War, he uses the history
of his family as a guide to explore the psychological and moral
implications of memory against the backdrop of one of humanity's
darkest periods. From his perspective of a life lived across German
and Jewish contexts, Frie explores what it means to discover the
legacy of a Nazi past. Beginning with the narrative of his
grandfather, he shows how the transfer of memory from one German
generation to the next keeps the Holocaust at bay. Not in My Family
is rich with poignant illustration: Frie beautifully combines his
own story with the stories of others, perpetrators and survivors,
and the generations that came after. As a practicing
psychotherapist he also draws on his own experience of working with
patients whose lives have been directly and indirectly shaped by
the Holocaust. Throughout, Frie proceeds with a level of frankness
and honesty that invites readers to reflect on their own histories
and to understand the lasting effects of historical traumas into
the present.

In the first decades of the twentieth century, the art critic Roger
Fry introduced English-speaking audiences to modern French art and
formalist aesthetic theory. "A Roger Fry Reader," edited by
Christopher Reed, brings together for the first time a
comprehensive selection of Fry's essays. Most appear here for the
first time since their original publication in scholarly journals
and art magazines, while some have never been published before.
Representing 40 years of engagement with the arts, the essays cover
a broad spectrum of topics, from Fry's influential promotion of
Post-Impressionism to art education, museums, architecture,
decorative art, and the implications of literature and dance for
the visual arts. Reed also provides valuable historical background
and considers Fry's legacy for the present. "A Roger Fry Reader"
affords an opportunity to examine both the foundations of modern
art criticism from the point of view of one of its foremost
practitioners and current debates about the nature ofart and
aesthetic experience.
1927. Fry, English art critic and painter and champion of modern
French schools of art introduced Cezanne and the postimpressionists
to England. From 1905 to 1910 he was curator of paintings at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art. In 1933 he was made Slade Professor of
Fine Arts at Cambridge. Interested in all eras, he consistently
stressed the importance of analyzing the formal qualities within a
work of art. His biography was written by Virginia Woolf in 1940.
This volume contains his influential work on Cezanne, who today is
regarded as one of the great forerunners of modern painting, both
for the way he evolved of putting down on canvas exactly what his
eye saw in nature and for the qualities of pictorial form that he
achieved through a unique treatment of space, mass, and color.
