Knowing What Psychoanalysts Do and Doing What Psychoanalysts Know
This book, founded on the in-depth discussion of sixteen clinical cases of psychoanalysis, tries to answer the question of what psychoanalysts do when they are practicing psychoanalysis.The authors have collaborated with over a thousand colleagues worldwide to collect a unique dataset of everyday clinical sessions using a new workshop discussion method designed to reveal differences.Faced with diversity but wanting to surface and understand it, not suppress it, they had to evolve a new theoretical framework.It covers different approaches to the analytic situation (using the metaphors, cinema, dramatic monologue, theatre and immersive theatre); different sources of data to use to infer unconscious content, differences in the troubles patients unconsciously experience and how to approach them and differences in when, about what and how a psychoanalyst should talk.Eventually taking the form of 11 very practical questions for psychoanalysts to ask of each session they conduct, the framework tries to help experienced psychoanalysts and students alike to choose what they want to try to do and to assess for themselves how far they are doing it.A final chapter applies the new framework and eleven practical questions to some contemporary technical controversies with some surprising results.

Lacanian Psychoanalysis in Practice : Insights from Fourteen Psychoanalysts
In this book, fourteen Lacanian psychoanalysts from Italy and France present how they listen and understand clinical questions, and how they operate in session.More than a theoretical ‘introduction to Lacan’, this book stems from clinical issues, is written by practicing psychoanalysts and not only presents theoretical concepts, but also their use in practice. Psychoanalytic listening is the leitmotif of this book.How, and what, does a psychoanalyst listen to/for? How to effectively listen, and thus understand, something from the unconscious?Further, this book examines the evolution of psychic symptoms since Freud’s Studies on Hysteria to today, and how the clinical work has changed.It introduces the differences between 'classic' discourses and ‘modern’ symptoms, with also a spotlight on some transversal issues.Chapters include hysteria, obsessive discourse and phobia, paranoia, panic disorder, anorexia, bulimia, binge-eating and obesity, depressions, addictions, borderline cases, the relationship with the mother, perversion, clinic of the void, and jealousy. Despite possessing the same theoretical reference of Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan, the contributors of this book belong to different associations and groups, and each of them provides several examples taken from their own practice.Lacanian Psychoanalysis in Practice is of great interest to psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, students and academics from the international psychoanalytic community.

Psychoanalysts in Session : Clinical Glossary of Contemporary Psychoanalysis
Psychoanalysis is an intimate clinical experience and the concepts that it explores aim to grapple with the specific phenomena that unfold when a patient speaks and an analyst listens.This book aims to give concrete examples of how these concepts take shape when analysts work.The structure of the contributions presented in this book matches this concern; drawing on a fragment of an analysis, each contribution illustrates how a notion reveals unforeseen perspectives.The list of entries selected is diverse, with notions encountered in international studies since the Second World War prioritised.Certain classical concepts are nonetheless included when their significance has been shaped by the innovative rereading that contemporary authors have made of them.However, not all the entries in this glossary constitute concepts: some correspond to notions, others to intuitions, and even to recurrent situations with which the analyst is confronted.By grounding, in each entry, the theoretical reflection on a clinical case, the reader is lead towards the incessant to-and-fro process which governs the analyst’s reflections from clinical experience to theory.This book therefore constitutes an essential tool for psychologists, psychoanalysts and all professionals in the field of mental care.

Early Women Psychoanalysts : History, Biography, and Contemporary Relevance
Each life story is unique, yet each also entwines with other stories, sharing recurring themes linked to issues of gender, Jewishness, women's education, politics, and migration. The book's first section discusses relatively known analysts such as Sabina Spielrein, Lou Andreas-Salomé, and Beata Rank, remembered largely as someone's wife, lover, or muse; and the second part sheds light on women such as Margarethe Hilferding, Tatiana Rosenthal, and Erzsébet Farkas, who took strong political stances.In the third section, the biographies of lesser-known analysts like Ludwika Karpinska-Woyczynska, Nic Waal, Barbara Low, and Vilma Kovács are discussed in the context of their importance for the early Freudian movement; and in the final section, the lives of Eugenia Sokolnicka, Sophie Morgenstern, Alberta Szalita, and Olga Wermer are examined in relation to migration and exile, trauma, loss, and memory. With a clear focus upon the continued importance of these women for psychoanalytic theory and practice, as well as discussion that engages with pertinent issues such as gendered discrimination, inhumane immigration laws, and antisemitism, this book is an important reading for students, scholars, and practitioners of psychoanalysis, as well as those involved in gender and women's studies, and Jewish and Holocaust studies.

What does sensuality mean to you?
Sensuality, to me, means being fully present in the experience of the senses. It is about savoring the textures, tastes, scents, sounds, and sights that surround us, and allowing them to awaken a deep, visceral pleasure within us. Sensuality is about indulging in the richness of the present moment and allowing ourselves to be fully immersed in the physical and emotional sensations that come with it. It is a celebration of the body, the senses, and the beauty of the world around us.

Psychoanalysts, Psychologists and Psychiatrists Discuss Psychopathy and Human Evil
Evil - along with its incarnation in human form, the psychopath - remains underexamined in the psychological and psychoanalytic literature.Given current societal issues ranging from increasingly violent cultural divides to climate change, it is imperative that the topics of psychopathy and human evil be thoughtfully explored. The book brings together social scientists, psychologists, and psychoanalysts to discuss the psychology of psychopaths, and the personal, societal and cultural destruction they leave as their legacy.Chapters address such questions as: Who are psychopaths?How do they think and operate? What causes someone to commit psychopathic acts? And are psychopaths born or created? Psychopaths leave us shocked and bewildered by behavior that violates the notions of common human trust and bonding, but not all psychopaths commit crimes. Because of their unique proclivities to deceive, seduce, and dissemble, they can hide in plain sight; especially when intelligent and highly educated.This latter group comprise the "successful or corporate" psychopaths, frequently found in boardrooms of corporations and among leaders of national movements or heads of state. Addressing a wide range of topics including slavery, genocide, the Holocaust, the individual as psychopath, the mind of the terrorist, sexual abuse, the role of attachment and the neurobiology of psychopathy, this book will appeal to researchers of human evil and psychopathy from a range of different disciplines and represents essential reading for psychotherapists and clinical psychologists.

Passion or pathological?
Passion and pathology can sometimes appear similar, as both involve intense emotions and behaviors. However, the key difference lies in the impact on one's well-being and the well-being of others. Passion is typically a positive and healthy drive that brings joy and fulfillment, while pathology is destructive and harmful, leading to negative consequences. It's important to reflect on the motivations behind our actions and seek help if we suspect our behaviors may be crossing into pathological territory.
