Book Description
What Nazism Did to Psychoanalysis explores the impact Nazism had on the evolution of psychoanalysis and tackles the enigma of the transformation of individual hate into mass psychosis and of the autocratic creation of a neo-reality. Addressing the effects of the Holocaust on the psychoanalytic world, this book does not focus on the suffering of the survivors but the analysis of the concrete mechanisms of destruction that affected language and thought, their impact on the practice of psychoanalysis and the defences that psychoanalysts tried to find against the linguistic, legal and symbolic chaos that struck the foundations of reality. Laurence Kahn discusses the struggle against the appropriation, by the Nazi language, of key terms such as demonic nature, drives, ideals and, above all, the Selbsterhaltungstrieb (the self-preservation drive), which became, with Hitler, the axis of the living space policy, the "Lebensraum". Covering key topics such as trauma, transgenerational issues, silence and secrecy and the depredation of culture, this is an essential work for psychoanalysts and anyone wishing to understand how strongly the development of psychoanalysis was affected by Nazism.

Book Description
In this book, Lawrence J. Brown offers a contemporary perspective on how the mind transforms, and gives meaning to, emotional experience that arises unconsciously in the here-and-now of the clinical hour. Brown surveys the developments in theory and practice that follow from Freud’s original observations and traces this evolution from its conception to contemporary analytic field theory. Brown emphasizes that these unconscious transformational processes occur spontaneously, in the blink of an eye, through the "unconscious work" in which the analyst and patient are engaged. Though unconscious, these processes are accessible and the analyst must train himself to become aware of the subtle ways he is affected by the patient in the clinical moment. By paying attention to one’s reveries, countertransference manifestations and even supposed "wild" or extraneous thoughts, the analyst is able to obtain a glimpse of how his unconscious is transforming the ambient emotions of the session in order to formulate an interpretation. Brown casts a wide theoretical net in his exploration of these transformational processes and builds on the contributions of Freud, Theodor Reik, Bion, Ogden, the Barangers, Cassorla, Civitarese and Ferro. Bion’s theories of alpha function, transformations, dreaming and his clinical emphasis on the present moment are foundational to this book. Brown’s writing is clear and aims to describe the various theoretical ideas as plainly as possible. Detailed clinical material is given in most chapters to illustrate the theoretical perspectives. Brown applies this theory of transformational processes to a variety of topics, including the analyst’s receptivity, countertransference as transformation, the analytic setting, the paintings of J.M.W. Turner, "autistic transformations" and other clinical situations in the analysis of children and adults. Transformational Processes in Clinical Psychoanalysis will be of great interest to all psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists.

Book Description
While the use of the analyst’s own reveries in work with patients has increased in recent times, there has been little critical inquiry into its value, and the problems it may lead to. The Analyst's Reveries finds increasing veneration for the analyst’s use of their reveries, while revealing important differences amongst post-Bionians in how reverie is defined and used clinically. Fred Busch ponders if it has been fully recognized that some post-Bionions suggest a new, radical paradigm for what is curative in psychoanalysis. After searching for the roots of the analyst’s use of reverie in Bion’s work and questioning whether in this regard Bion was a Bionian, Busch carefully examines the work of some post-Bionians and finds both convincing ways to think about the usefulness and limitations of the analyst’s use of reverie. He explores questions including: From what part of the mind does a reverie emerge? How does its provenance inform its transformative possibilities? Do we over-generalize in conceptualizing what is unrepresented, with the corresponding problem of false positives? Do dreams equal understanding and what about the generalizability of the co-created reverie? Busch concludes that it is primarily through the analyst’s own associations that the reverie’s potential is revealed, which further helps the analyst distinguish it from many other possibilities, including the analyst’s countertransference. He believes in the importance of converting reveries into verbal interpretations, a controversial point amongst post-Bionians. Busch ends with the difficult task of classifying the analyst’s reveries based on their degree of representation. The Analyst's Reveries will be of great interest to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists.

Book Description
Psychoanalytic Studies on Dysphoria: The False Accord in the Divine Symphony depicts the profound dysphoria afflicting certain individuals, and includes the author's own personal experience of this as a German Jewish child during the Holocaust. Marion M. Oliner explores the impact of catastrophic events on the lives of individuals and their descendants from a broadly psychoanalytic perspective. The book focuses on the interplay between the experience and the unconscious meaning attributed to the trauma, and the ways in which patients may feel guilt, and blame themselves for the events and effects of their trauma. Drawing on the work of Freud and Winnicott, and with emphasis on the traumas suffered during the Second World War, Oliner offers new ways of understanding how resistant to treatment such traumas can be, and how the analyst can understand the experiences. The chapters span the evolution undergone in the nearly four decades of practice by the author. The book references a range of works including some taken from the German and French psychoanalytic literature, some never published in English. Taken together they aim at keeping the vitality of psychoanalysis without idealization, while discarding concepts whose essence is static, and therefore unhelpful. Psychoanalytic Studies on Dysphoria will appeal to psychoanalysts as well as other mental health professionals working with self-defeating behavior as a result of trauma.

Book Description
In the last several decades, the analytic field has widened considerably in scope. The therapeutic task is now seen by an increasing number of analysts to require that patient and analyst work together to strengthen, or to create, psychic structure that was previously weak, missing, or functionally inoperative. This view, which may apply to all patients, but is especially relevant to the treatment of non-neurotic patients and states of mind, stands in stark contrast to the more traditional assumption that the therapeutic task involves the uncovering of the unconscious dimension of a present pathological compromise formation that holds a potentially healthy ego in thrall. The contrast which this book calls attention to is that which exists roughly between formulations of psychic structure and functioning that were once assumed to have been sufficiently well explained by the hypotheses of Freud's topographic theory and those that were not. The former are modeled on neurosis and dream interpretation, where conflicts between relatively well-defined (saturated) and psychically represented desires were assumed to operate under the aegis of the pleasure-unpleasure principle.

Book Description
L'autisme et les autres troubles envahissants du développement apparaissent dès l'enfance et ont un caractère durable à l'adolescence et à l'âge adulte. Ces personnes, même lorsqu'elles ont accès au langage, sont en grande difficulté dans leurs interactions sociales et leurs possibilités de communication. Leur capacité d'intégration sociale reste limitée, ce qui influe très négativement sur leur qualité de vie. Les interventions thérapeutiques ou éducatives doivent donc cibler l'amélioration des habiletés sociales comme c'est le cas avec l'entraînement des habiletés sociales. Cette pratique inspirée de la thérapie cognitive et comportementale, connue dans le champ de la réhabilitation où elle est appliquée depuis longtemps, est encore peu proposée en France. Après un rappel des concepts cliniques et théoriques sur l'autisme, l'ouvrage aborde les méthodes d'évaluation des cognitions sociales. Les modes de prises en charge sont présentés, en particulier ceux ciblant l'amélioration des habiletés sociales. Par la suite, l'ouvrage décrit le programme d'entraînement aux habiletés sociales pour proposer, à partir d'objectifs précis et progressifs, des exercices concrets de mise en situation. Ce guide pratique est destiné à l'ensemble des professionnels (psychiatres, psychologues, orthophonistes, infirmiers, éducateurs, psychomotriciens) qui accompagnent des enfants ou adolescents avec des troubles du spectre autistique sans retard mental et souhaite leur donner des clés de compréhension d'un monde dont les codes sociaux leur échappent souvent.

Book Description
""Guider les enfants autistes dans les habiletés sociales" est une méthode destinée aux professionnels de l'autisme, visant à améliorer les habiletés sociales des enfants qui présentent un syndrome d'Asperger ou un trouble du spectre autistique léger. Créée à partir de l'expérience clinique de deux ergothérapeutes, elle souligne l'importance du langage corporel et propose : une réflexion et une démarche cliniques ; un questionnaire destiné aux parents afin d'évaluer les habiletés sociales de leur enfant ; un bilan des habiletés sociales sous forme de pictogrammes destiné à l'enfant autiste ; un répertoire d'exercices pratiques fondés sur l'improvisation théâtrale et le théâtre forum, nécessaires pour animer les ateliers en groupe ; un cahier d'exercices sur les habiletés sociales pour aider l'enfant à apprendre à se connaître, à communiquer avec son entourage et à généraliser les apprentissages amorcés pendant les séances."--Source : page 4 de la couverture.
Book Description
La catégorie des troubles envahissants du développement sans déficience intellectuelle voit sa proportion d'individus régulièrement augmenter depuis les années 1980. Cependant, malgré une amélioration possible de la symptomatologie avec l'âge, leur handicap fonctionnel persiste et serait lié en grande partie aux anomalies des interactions sociales. Dans le cadre des troubles envahissants du développement sans déficience intellectuelle, l'amélioration des habiletés sociales apparait donc comme un des objectifs prioritaires de prise en charge. Ce travail présente et évalue une intervention originale basée sur l'analyse de séquences vidéo. Son but est de favoriser la communication et les interactions sociales à partir d'un médiateur visuel commun. Cette intervention a été évaluée grâce à une étude prospective sur 6 mois analysant l'évolution des habiletés de communication et de la qualité de vie des sujets.
