The Life-Death Instinct Feeling Through Creative-Clinical Moments

The Life-Death Instinct Feeling Through Creative-Clinical Moments

Throughout this enlightening collection Neil Maizels considers the helical tandem between the Life Instinct and the Death drive in the light of canonical literary figures like Thomas Hardy Patricia Highsmith Sylvia Plath and Shakespeare classic filmmakers like Hitchcock and contemporary television shows such as Curb Your Enthusiasm The West Wing and Succession. This light is filtered through intricate clinical work whereby Maizels seeks to illustrate and expound on the strength and indefatigability of the Life Instinct. He makes a case for it as the relentless driver of integration and “binding” in the ever-growing expansive psyche. He considers both Freud’s original equation of the Life Instinct with Eros and a widening interconnecting love of mankind and Melanie Klein’s with gratitude and creative reparation. This book is a multi-layered presentation of the clinical and theoretical work of Neil Maizels as it has evolved and convolved over several decades. It places the feeling through of one’s conflicts at the heart of the mind’s generation of a unique identity equipped to evolve its own unique form of creative spirit in the face of life’s most pressing psychological challenges: the limitation of time and reciprocated beauty. The Life-Death Instinct: Feeling Through Creative-Clinical Moments is important reading for anyone seeking to expand their knowledge in this fascinating intersection of psychoanalysis and the arts. | The Life-Death Instinct Feeling Through Creative-Clinical Moments

Psychotherapy: An Erotic Relationship Transference and Countertransference Passions

Psychotherapy: An Erotic Relationship Transference and Countertransference Passions

Psychotherapy: An Erotic Relationship challenges the traditional belief that transference and countertransference are merely forms of resistance that jeopardize the therapeutic process. David Mann shows how the erotic feelings and fantasies experienced by clients and therapists can be used to bring about a positive transformation. Combining extensive and lively clinical examples with theoretical insights and new research on infants David Mann suggests that the development of the erotic derives from interactions between the parent and child and is seldom absent from the therapist-patient relationship. However while the erotic always contains elements of past relationships it also expresses hope for a different outcome in the present and future. Individual chapters explore the function of the erotic within the unconscious: erotic pre-Oedipal and Oedipal material; homoeroticism in therapy; sexual intercourse as a metaphor for psychological change; the primal scene in the transference and the difficulties of working with perversions. The book is as relevant now as it was when originally published. This Classic Edition contains a new introduction by David Mann summarizing his current ideas since this book was first published in 1997. It brings the therapy setting alive offering clinicians both an accessible and deeper understanding of the interaction between erotic transference and countertransference; it also gives an explicit picture of how these aspects of therapy can be used to enhance the therapeutic process. It remains an essential resource for psychoanalysts psychotherapists and counsellors their clients and anybody with an interest in Eros desire or mental health issues. | Psychotherapy: An Erotic Relationship Transference and Countertransference Passions
