Twenty-First Century Psychoanalysis (Thomas Svolos April 11, 2017)

If psychoanalysis will survive in the twenty-first century, this book’s wager is that it will be Lacanian psychoanalysis. Today, the survival of psychoanalysis is in question. Even Jacques Lacan himself, at the peak of his influence when psychoanalysis was a dominant discourse, did not believe that psychoanalysis would triumph and merely posed questions about the survival of psychoanalysis, when future subjects would want something else.

This book articulates a possible future for Lacan and psychoanalysis through an exploration of the historical trajectory of psychoanalysis and a survey of the ways Lacanian psychoanalysis offers a unique response to the pressing clinical demands of our time.

Much of the book stages this possible future through explications of the specific ways in which Lacanian concepts have developed as a reading of the clinical and broader psychic and social phenomena of our moment in history. Psychosis, which is an increasing clinical phenomena, and addiction, which is often described as a contemporary epidemic, are given longer treatment here while other chapters address central concepts such as trauma, fantasy, the symptom, the body, transference, knowledge, and love.

The book closes with two sections of reflections on psychoanalysis outside of the Lacanian orientation and on the general mental health field. (amazon) (kindle 2017-5-11)

The Digital Age on the Couch: Psychoanalytic Practice and New Media (Alessandra Lemma, April 21, 2017)

Working today, it is essential that clinicians understand the world we live in. The transition from an industrial economy to an information economy impacts not just the external structure of society and commerce, but also the internal psychic economies of our brains and, inevitably, how clinicians conceptualise the analytic setting in which they practice as therapists and analysts.

The Digital Age on the Couch seeks to understand more about how new technologies interact with the prerogatives of an individual’s internal world, how they may alter psychic structure itself in fundamental ways and the implications this may have for the individual’s functioning and for the operation of society. This book attempts, from the perspective of a working clinician, to make some sense of this. The impact of mediation via technology and the consequent disintermediation of the body represent central themes throughout, as they impact on the experience of embodiment, on the ‘work of desire’ and on the way new media influences psychoanalytic practice.

New media offer opportunities for increasing accessibility to mental health care, including psychoanalytic interventions. However, this requires a sophisticated understanding of how to best create and safeguard the analytic setting. Alessandra Lemma here guides the clinician through an exploration of the limitations and risks of mediated psychotherapy, illustrated with clinical examples throughout. (amazon) (kindle 2017-5-11)

客觀和主觀和超越客觀和主觀

1.治療者易失之主觀

2.甚至過度主觀

3.因為他距離對方的內心世界太近

4.也因為他因此距離自己的內心世界太近

5.被治療者只能主觀

6.必然過度主觀

7.因為忐忑不安是他

8.掏心掏肺是他

9.哭泣悲傷是他

10. 他的內心世界

11. 是他唯一擁有

12. 陌生不能相認的世界

13. 他心中所見之治療者亦必然主觀

14. 因為當他能稍微客觀的時候

15. 他就應該起身

16. 離開那個房間了

17. 這是為什麼我們說

18. 治療室的窗外須有

19. 大樹花草四時光影鳥鳴蟲鳴

20. 我先前是這麼說的

21. 那窗外的自然

22. 恰恰就是裏面那兩人的治療者

23. 上述四時光影

24. 就是時間

25. 上述大樹花草鳥鳴蟲鳴

26. 就是生命

the ladyslipper which saved Riker's life

I had decided in my confused little eight-year-old mind to commit suicide.

So I started walking.

The dark thick woods beautifully mirrored my anguished despairing mood. The light was growing dimmer and I was determined to descend into the final darkness.

Then, suddenly, a shaft of sunlight broke through the thick canopy of leaves and landed on a single yellow ladyslipper growing at the base of a magnificently tall tree.

I was stunned, thrown into an eternal moment of wonder, and held captive by the sight.

I then turned around and went back to the school, and that turning around was the turning around of my life.

I had chosen, for all time, life over death.

Riker, John Hanwell. Exploring the Life of the Soul: Philosophical Reflections on Psychoanalysis and Self Psychology, 2017 (Kindle location 1901-1905)

now, that turning around,

called by whom?

is the point

These experiences with nature have saved my self and sustained it for a lifetime.

Kohut does not talk about nature and self, nor does he inquire into the great question of what the self must be in order for it to be not only sustained by a relation to nature but brought into being by it.

And, yet, it is clear that our selves are deeply connected to nature.

When nature is disturbed we are disturbed.

(ibid, Kindle location 1921-1924)

How are we to understand nature as perhaps the first and most significant of all selfobjects?

While Kohut is silent on this question, his great predecessor in self psychology, Ralph Waldo Emerson, does speak, and does so with the kind of brilliant writing which itself enlivens the soul in a way that Kohut’s writing rarely does.

(ibid Kindle location 1927-1929)

Then Thoreau

Before leaving Emerson to return to the present, we need to hear Thoreau’s reverberations with these Emersonian themes. His most famous statement is, of course, “The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation” (1854, p. 8) by which he means that humans do not act from their selves but from social impositions, especially those of economic society. It is not by chance that the first chapter of Walden is entitled “Economy” and reveals how alively one can live with little labor and almost no money. “I found that by working about six weeks in a year, I could meet all the expenses of living” (1854, pp. 65– 66).

Thoreau went to Walden with the question that is at the heart of this book: how can one attain the greatest amount of life in one’s soul. “I went to the woods to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived . . . I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life. . . . Our life is frittered away by detail. . . . Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity!” (1854, p. 86).

I think that living from the self is what it means to live deeply, for it is the marrow of who we are, the core, the final ground. When we live out of the self, life becomes simpler and we are not so tempted by the myriads of distractions that our contemporary world provides. How easy it is to lose ourselves in distractions which are always multiple while the erotic loves of the self tend to be few.

And, finally in Walking, Thoreau says, “Life consists with wildness. The most alive is the wildest . . . in Wildness is the preservation of the World” (1861, pp. 644– 45). The young often interpret the wild as the anti-social, the anti-sober, or the unpredictable, but the wild for Thoreau is simply each individual being being itself and not trying to be something else. To live from one’s spontaneous erotic self rather than social codes or economic pressures is to be wild. One of the great critiques of classical psychoanalysis is that its aim is to normalize persons. This is not true of self psychology, whose aim is to release the “wild” singularity of a person. In self psychology is the preservation of the world.
