Epic Survival: Extreme Adventure, Stone Age Wisdom, and Lessons in Living From a Modern Hunter-Gatherer (Matt Graham, Josh Young, Gallery Books, 2015)
Matt Graham, star of the Discovery Channel’s Dual Survival and Dude, You’re Screwed, details the physical, mental, and emotional joys and harrowing struggles of his life as a modern-day hunter-gatherer.
Early on in his life, Matt craved a return to nature. When he became an adult, he set aside his comfortable urban life and lived entirely off the land to learn from the smallest and grandest of all things. In this riveting narrative that brings together epic adventure and spiritual quest, he shows us what extraordinary things the human body is capable of when pushed to its limits.
In Epic Survival, written with Josh Young, coauthor of five New York Times bestsellers, Matt relays captivating stories from his life to show just how terrifying—and gratifying—living off the grid can be. He learns the secrets of the Tarahumara Indians that helped him run the 1,600-mile Pacific Crest Trail in just fifty-eight days and endure temperature swings of 100 degrees. He takes us with him as he treks into the wilderness to live alone for half a year, armed with nothing but a loincloth, a pair of sandals, a stone knife, and chia seeds. He recounts near-death experiences of hiking alone through the snowdrifts at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, and tells us about the time he entered a three-day Arabian horse race on foot—and finished third.
Above all, Epic Survival is a book about growing closer to the land that nurtures us. No matter how far our modern society takes us from the wilderness, the call remains. Whether you’re an armchair survivalist or have taken the plunge yourself, Matt’s story is both inspiration and invigoration, teaching even the most urbane among us important and breathtaking lessons. (amazon) (accessible via scribd)
The Stone Age lasted roughly 3.4 million years and ended between 8700 BCE and 2000 BCE with the advent of metalworking.

Eric Drexler (b 1955)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K._Eric_Drexler
Eric Drexler famously argued in his 1986 book, Engines of Creation, that if nanoscale machines (assemblers) could build materials molecule by molecule, then using billions of these assemblers, one could build any material or object one could imagine. But in order to get that scale, scientists would have to build the first few nano-assemblers in a lab and direct them to build other assemblers, which would in turn build more, growing exponentially with each generation.
Drexler worried that such a situation could, however, grow quickly out of control as assemblers began to convert all organic matter around them into the next generation of nanomachines in a process he famously called the “gray goo scenario,” one in which the earth might be reduced to a lifeless mass overrun by nanomachines. How might such a doomsday scenario play out? Let’s say in the future billions of nano-bots were released to clean up an oil spill disaster in an ocean. Sounds great, except that a minor programming error might lead the nano-bots to consume all carbon-based objects (fish, plants, plankton, coral reefs) instead of just the hydrocarbons in the oil. The nano-bots might consume everything in their path, “turning the planet to dust.” To understand just how quickly this might happen, consider the example Drexler provides in his book:
Imagine such a replicator floating in a bottle of chemicals, making copies of itself…[T]he first replicator assembles a copy in one thousand seconds, the two replicators then build two more in the next thousand seconds, the four build another four, and the eight build another eight. At the end of ten hours, there are not thirty-six new replicators, but over 68 billion. In less than a day, they would weigh a ton; in less than two days, they would outweigh the Earth; in another four hours, they would exceed the mass of the Sun and all the planets combined—if the bottle of chemicals hadn’t run dry long before.

Freud's Lost Chord: Discovering Jazz in the Resonant Psyche (Dan Sapen, Karnac, 2012)
In Freud's Lost Chord, Dan Sapen explores what it means for the development of depth psychology that Freud was perplexed by music, and unlike nearly every other aspect of human life, had little to say about it – a problem shared by most others in the early generations of psychoanalytic thought. Psychoanalyst Charles Rycroft wrote "One cannot help regretting that none of the pioneers of the unconscious thought naturally in auditory terms"; more than this, over 100 years later, not only is music per se rarely looked at in psychodynamic terms, jazz music is almost completely absent from the literature. Dr. Sapen looks in depth at the intricate details of psychodynamic theory and practice, as well as an overview of its development, to address the possibility that a theoretical model that has little to say about such a basic and omni-present aspect of human life must be seriously flawed in its effort to explain what it is to be human, and how the mind functions and what it creates. However, Sapen illustrates how numerous other thinkers (Jung, Winnicott, Bion, Loewald, Rycroft), some seemingly at odds with and others serving as essential developments and re-workings of psychoanalytic principles, have managed to illuminate and integrate those missing principles so basic to music and creativity – to development, dreaming, thinking, and relating among other human beings intimately and in a society. Nearly uniquely in the psychodynamic literature, Sapen looks in depth at the music of Miles Davis and John Coltrane as examples of the living, breathing psychological processes so essential to understanding the meaning and dynamics of being human that Freud could not, for a variety of reasons, conceptualize. (amazon)
Musically, Sapen is a multi-instrumentalist (drums, saxophones, piano), composer, and poet-lyricist, and has written reviews and essays on jazz and audio for Earshot and Listener magazines. (amazon)

The Musical Edge of Therapeutic Dialogue (Steven H. Knoblauch, Routledge, 2000)
Such nuances and shifts in the music of a patient's voice have long been familiar to clinicians. Indeed, as Steven Knoblauch observes, the music of psychotherapy has been acknowledged across a variety of theoretical orientations, from Freudian to self-psychological to interpersonal and relational perspectives. In The Musical Edge of Therapeutic Dialogue, Knoblauch provides a model of "resonant minding" in which the musical elements of speech become a major source of information about unconscious communication and action. More specifically, resonant minding, by distinguishing between discrete and continuous levels of communication, between the verbal and the musical, offers a way of accessing and affecting levels of unconscious interactive process by attending to the musical edge of dialogue -- provided only that we can hear it.
Drawing on detailed clinical vignettes, he explores shifts in embodied dimensions of musical expression including rhythm, tone, pauses and accents across a sequence of patient-therapist interactions in order to show how the dyadic logic of mutual improvisation operates at the periphery to guide the continuous flow of unconscious communication and mutual regulation. In so doing, Knoblauch provides a vivid sense of how the shifting movement of the patient's "solo performance" can be facilitated and enriched by the creative "accompaniment" of the therapist.
Ultimately, Knoblauch argues, the music of therapy is not only another road to the unconscious, but one uniquely able to convey emergent meanings in a variety of domains, from conflicting cultural identifications to the experience of the body to the emergence of desire. His vision of mutual immersion in a shared "performance" aimed at fostering growth coalesces into a major contribution - at once evocative and clinically consequential - to the current movement to grasp nonverbal behavior and processes of mutual regulation as they enter into all effective psychotherapy.

Marion Milner: The Life (Emma Letley, Routledge, 2013)
Artist, poet, educationalist and autobiographer, Marion Milner is considered one of the most original of psychoanalytic thinkers whose life (1900-1998) spans a century of radical change. Marion Milner: The Life, is the first biography of this extraordinary woman. It introduces Milner and her works to the reader through her family, colleagues and, above all through her books, charting their evolution and development as well as their critical reception and contribution to current twenty-first century debates and discourses.
In this book Emma Letley draws on primary sources, including the newly-opened Marion Milner Collection at the Archives of the British Psychoanalytical Society in London, as well as interviews and the re-contextualised series of Milner texts. She traces the process of Milner's writing of her books, her discovery of psychoanalysis, her training and her place in that world from the 1940's onwards. Marion Milner: The Life includes discussion of Milner's connection with D.W. Winnicott and her emergence as a most individual member of the Independent Group.
Letley also shows how Milner's Personal Notebooks offer fascinating insights into her relationships, both personal and professional, and into many of her important ideas on creativity, the body-mind relationship, her revolutionary ideas on education and her particular personality as clinician working with both children and adults. Further, Letley explores Milner's literary character from her very early diaries and narratives to her last book written in her 90's published in 2012.
Marion Milner: The Life places Marion Milner firmly in her Edwardian family setting and contains new material from primary sources, including a new view of her collegial connections. It provides a wealth of material on her life and works that will be invaluable to psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, art psychotherapists, students, those involved with life writing and autobiography, and the general reader.

Psychiatric Drug Withdrawal: A Guide for Prescribers, Therapists, Patients and their Families (Peter Breggin, Springer, 2012)
This is the first book to establish guidelines and to assist prescribers and therapists in withdrawing their patients from psychiatric drugs, including those patients with long-term exposure to antipsychotic drugs, benzodiazepines, stimulants, antidepressants, and mood stabilizers. It describes a method developed by the author throughout years of clinical experience, consultations with experienced colleagues, and scientific research. Based on a person-centered collaborative approach, with patients as partners, this method builds on a cooperative and empathic team effort involving prescribers, therapists, patients, and their families or support network.
The author, known for such books as Talking Back to Prozac, Toxic Psychiatry, and Medication Madness, is a lifelong reformer and scientist in mental health whose work has brought about significant change in psychiatric practice. This book provides critical information about when to consider psychiatric drug reduction or withdrawal, and how to accomplish it as safely, expeditiously, and comfortably as possible. It offers the theoretical framework underlying this approach along with extensive scientific information, practical advice, and illustrative case studies that will assist practitioners in multiple ways, including in how to:
- Recognize common and sometimes overlooked adverse drug effects that may require withdrawal
- Treat emergencies during drug therapy and during withdrawal
- Determine the first drugs to withdraw during multi-drug therapy
- Distinguish between withdrawal reactions, newly occurring emotional problems, and recurrence of premedication issues
- Estimate the length of withdrawal (amazon) (accessible via scribd)
one of the big questions for critical psychiatry is. how to differentiate drug withdrawal effects from relapse?

Anna Seghers (1900-1983)
Anna Seghers’s Transit is an existential, political, literary thriller that explores the agonies of boredom, the vitality of storytelling, and the plight of the exile with extraordinary compassion and insight.
Having escaped from a Nazi concentration camp in Germany in 1937, and later a camp in Rouen, the nameless twenty-seven-year-old German narrator of Seghers’s multilayered masterpiece ends up in the dusty seaport of Marseille. Along the way he is asked to deliver a letter to a man named Weidel in Paris and discovers Weidel has committed suicide, leaving behind a suitcase containing letters and the manuscript of a novel. As he makes his way to Marseille to find Weidel’s widow, the narrator assumes the identity of a refugee named Seidler, though the authorities think he is really Weidel. There in the giant waiting room of Marseille, the narrator converses with the refugees, listening to their stories over pizza and wine, while also gradually piecing together the story of Weidel, whose manuscript has shattered the narrator’s “deathly boredom,” bringing him to a deeper awareness of the transitory world the refugees inhabit as they wait and wait for that most precious of possessions: transit papers.

Substance Abuse and the Family: Assessment and Treatment 2 ed (Michael Reiter, Routledge, 2019-6-12)
In this updated edition of Substance Abuse and the Family, Michael D. Reiter examines addiction through a family systems lens which considers a range of interconnected contexts, such as biology and genetics, family relationships, and larger systems.
Chapters are organized around two sections: Assessment and Treatment. Examining how the family system organizes around substance use and abuse, the first section includes contributions on the neurobiology and genetics of addiction, as well as chapters on family diversity, issues in substance-using families, and working in a culturally sensitive way. The second half of the book explores various treatment options for individuals and families presenting with substance abuse issues, providing an overview of the major family therapy theories, and chapters on self-help groups and the process of family recovery.
The second edition has many useful additions including a revision of the family diversity chapter to consider sexual and gender minorities, brand new chapters on behavioral addictions such as sex and gambling, and a chapter on ethical implications in substance abuse work with families. Additional sections include information on Multisystemic Therapy, Behavioral Couples Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Twelve-Step Facilitation. Each chapter now contains a case application to help demonstrate treatment strategies in practice.
Intended for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as beginning practitioners, Substance Abuse and the Family, 2nd Ed. remains one of the most penetrating and in-depth examinations on the topic available. (amazon)

Critical Psychiatry: Controversies and Clinical Implications (ed, Sandra Steingard, Springer, 2018)
This book is a guide for psychiatrists struggling to incorporate transformational strategies into their clinical work. The book begins with an overview of the concept of critical psychiatry before focusing its analytic lens on the DSM diagnostic system, the influence of the pharmaceutical industry, the crucial distinction between drug-centered and disease-centered approaches to pharmacotherapy, the concept of “de-prescribing,” coercion in psychiatric practice, and a range of other issues that constitute the targets of contemporary critiques of psychiatric theory and practice. Written by experts in each topic, this is the first book to explicate what has come to be called critical psychiatry from an unbiased and clinically relevant perspective.
Critical Psychiatry is an excellent, practical resource for clinicians seeking a solid foundation in the contemporary controversies within the field. General and forensic psychiatrists; family physicians, internists, and pediatricians who treat psychiatric patients; and mental health clinicians outside of medicine will all benefit from its conceptual insights and concrete advice.

The Affect Theory of Silvan Tomkins for Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy: Recasting the Essentials (Relational Perspectives Book Series) (E. Virginia Demos, Routledge, 2019-3-12)
The Affect Theory of Silvan Tomkins for Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy explores central issues in current clinical work, using the theories put forward by Silvan Tomkins and presenting them in detail, as well as integrating them with the most up-to-date neuroscience findings and infancy research, all based on a biopsychosocial, dynamic systems approach.Part I describes the essentials of life, based on our evolutionary and biological heritage, namely a need for a coherent understanding of one’s world and the capacity to act in that world; the infant's capacities are described in detail as embodying both. Longitudinal data is provided beginning at birth into the third year of life. Part II reviews current debates in psychoanalysis relating to motivation, and the lack of an internally consistent theory. Recent neuroscience findings are presented, which both negate drive theory, and support Tomkins' theory. His theory is then described in detail. In Part III, two case histories are presented: one is a clinical case illustrating one of Tomkins' affect powered scripts. The second case is drawn from a longitudinal study extending from birth, into early adulthood, which is made sense of with the help of Tomkins' theory. Demos concludes with a look at competing approaches to theory and responds to recent cognitive-based attempts to disprove both Tomkins' work and the latest findings from neuroscience.
The Affect Theory of Silvan Tomkins for Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy will appeal to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists, as well as psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and psychiatric nurses. (amazon)
M (Dec 2019) - H. S. Sullivan and the phenomenology of human cognition
Abstract
It is the purpose of this article to offer additional clarification of H. S. Sullivan's three-way division of cognitive experience. The investigation involves an analysis of C. S. Peirce's phenomenological categories of experience and their three Sullivanian parallels, i.e., prototaxis, parataxis, and syntaxis. It will be argued that the utilisation of these categories will provide psychiatrists with the following:(1) a set of non-psychiatric criteria for clarifying the underlying principles of psychiatric claims, (2) a broader base for analysing the nature of interpersonal relations, and (3) an additional means of preserving the self-correcting character of inter-personal psychiatry as a theory.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, when I began to give shape to my thoughts about the unconscious, I found great value in Harry Stack Sullivan’s (1940/1953, 1953) developmental theory of cognition. Sullivan proposed three modes of thought and experience, each of which he conceptualized to be more “mature” than the one that came before it; and like the developmental conceptions of a number of other theorists (Bion’s reworking of Klein’s paranoid-schizoid and depressive positions, for instance), Sullivan’s idea was that each of these cognitive stages was also preserved, as life went on, as one of several ways of organizing experience. Prototaxis, the most primitive mode, bears some similarity to the “blooming, buzzing confusion” that William James (1890, p. 462) imagined was the state of mind of the youngest infants. Everything is all mixed up together in something like a primordial, cognitive/affective soup. There is no before and after, no differentiation of one thing from another. Sullivan thought prototaxis was rarely observed after infancy, except in psychotic states. We might compare prototaxis to Freud’s (1914b) primary narcissism, Loewald’s (1978/2000) primary unity, or Matte-Blanco’s (1988) indivisible mode of being.
It was Sullivan’s (1940/1953, 1953) next two modes of experience, the parataxic and the syntaxic, that interested me most. In parataxis, experience does have a before and after, but the meanings of this experience cannot be specified. The meanings are what Sullivan described as “private” or “autistic.” This is a profound kind of privacy, because the meanings are private even to oneself. That is, one cannot articulate the meanings, even in one’s own mind. For all intents and purposes, then, parataxis is Sullivan’s way of conceptualizing unconscious meaning. But, as we shall see, this conceptualization differs from Freud’s in important respects.
For Sullivan (1940/1953, 1953), parataxic experience is the form in which the hidden meanings of interpersonal relations exist. Sullivan did not use the term “transference.” He preferred “parataxic distortion,” by which he meant the attribution of meanings in the here-and-now to another person, meanings that cannot be specified and that are, in fact, not even suspected by the person who creates them. Sullivan created this neologism for the reason he usually had when he invented words, which he did frequently: he wanted to mark the differentiation of his own ideas from traditional psychoanalytic conceptions.
Let me explain the substance of the differentiation in this case. Sullivan (1940, 1953) did not accept the Freudian view that interpersonal life is a compromise expression of the conflict between drive and defense. Even more important to his understanding of the unconscious parts of relatedness was his emphasis on transference as the unconscious aspect of present-day relatedness—in contrast to Freud, whose theory of transference emphasized historical antecedents. It is not that Sullivan ignored history. Quite the contrary. He was insistent on the significance of interpersonal history, especially with the significant people of early life. But his clinical interest in interpersonal relations—that is, in the observable aspects of interaction in the here-and-now—led him to take the position that clinicians’ efforts should not be directed at the interpretation of the past, but instead at the observation and description to the patient of the present-day outcomes of those historical events. How does the dissociation of aspects of interpersonal life, whenever they began, affect interpersonal relations now? What is distorted, obscured or “mystified” (Levenson, 1972/2005, 1983/2005) in interpersonal life now, and why? Sullivan certainly agreed that the clinician must learn what happened in early, important relationships; but therapeutic action, for him, emerges not from the recall or reconstruction of that history, as Freud and the Freudians of Sullivan’s day claimed, but from a clinical focus on the present-day outcomes of those events. Sullivan wanted to encourage the formulation of distortions in current relationships, including the therapeutic one, on the basis of whatever the patient’s interpersonal history had been; but he did not believe that reconstructing the patient’s history, in and of itself, led to change. This position made good sense to me, and I embraced it.
It is only with the syntaxic mode of experience, though, the most “mature” form of experience in Sullivan’s scheme of things, that we arrive at the idea that most deeply inspired the concept of unformulated experience. The syntaxic mode is consensually validated experience— experience that is either explicitly public, or could be public if one chose to make it so. “Public” in this sense is not limited to the expression to another person of knowledge about one’s experience; for experience to become “public” is also for the meanings of one’s own experience to become knowable to oneself. That is, one can reflect on one’s own experience only to the extent that the experience is organized in the syntaxic mode. The conversion of meaning from parataxic to syntaxic is therefore analogous to the move from unconscious to preconscious. In the case of parataxic distortion, to convert parataxis into syntaxis is to become aware of the previously unformulated meanings of the relatedness between oneself and the other.
One of the keys to this set of ideas is Sullivan’s idea of consensual validation, which is the means by which parataxis becomes public and enters the syntaxic mode. Consensual validation is defined by Sullivan as knowing in the special way that verbal language allows. For experience to be “public” is for it to be represented in language, or capable of being represented in language (that is, one could put it into words if one had a reason to do so).
Why did Sullivan feel that he was presenting a new perspective on these questions? After all, Freud (1915b) too gave language a special place in his theory. For meanings to move from the unconscious to the preconscious, they needed to become attached to words. We could never actually create a direct understanding of unconscious contents, which Freud described as “thing-presentations.” Rather, thing-presentations needed to be connected to language, becoming “word-presentations”; in the process, they were cathected by the preconscious and could then enter awareness.
At a certain point in the development of his argument about things such as this, Sullivan, referring to the link between self-awareness and language, wrote two sentences that had a great impact on me. These two sentences catalyzed much of the reading and thinking I had been doing about the emergent aspects of experiencing.1 Things began to fall together in my mind. It was suddenly clear to me that verbal language had a different kind of significance in Sullivan’s theory than it did in Freud’s. Here are the sentences, which I first quoted in reference to unformulated experience in 1983:
One has information about one’s experience only to the extent that one has tended to communicate it to another or thought about it in the manner of communicative speech. Much of that which is ordinarily said to be repressed is merely unformulated. (Sullivan, 1940/1953, p. 185; italics from the original)
It took me years to work out what this meant. I think that even Sullivan, who was onto something very interesting here, did not grasp the implications of his own views. He was implicitly taking issue with a concept that lay at the heart of the Freudian enterprise: the substantive unconscious, the understanding of the unconscious as a container of fully formed unconscious contents, or what Klein later described as unconscious phantasies, the nature of which were largely responsible for how meanings became articulated in consciousness. In this brief passage Sullivan was implying, it seemed to me then (and does still), that for psychic contents to be unconscious was for them to be without explicit meaning in any part of the mind. Unconscious states of mind for him, I thought, were not hard-edged, fully formed bearers of meaning; they were not unconscious phantasies. They were instead vague, potential meanings, not yet fully shaped or articulated. Experience in the parataxic mode, I thought, was experience that had not yet been formulated. That is what I took Sullivan to be suggesting, without actually saying it, when he used that evocative word, that word that struck me so forcefully: “unformulated.”2
I can’t be sure that Sullivan intended to say all of what I took him to mean. Whether he did or not, though, what he said in those lines was a source of inspiration to me. For me, he was saying that it was only as psychic contents were converted from parataxis to syntaxis—from pre-linguistic, autistic form into language—that explicit meaning was created. Furthermore, the meaning created in the syntaxic mode did not exist before, at least not in any explicit form; that meaning was created, for the first time, as it was formulated. This stance, I saw right away, implied that language is not just a set of labels; it has what the philosophical literature taught me to call “constitutive properties.” (Much more about this point in each of the following chapters.) That is, language is not only a medium for the representation of meaning that already exists; it also actually participates in the creation of meaning. The nature of our thoughts or experiences—whatever one wants to call the products of the activities of the mind—are deeply influenced by language. Here is how I made this point in 1997: pp. 37-38)
The unformulated is not yet knowable in the separate and definable terms of language. Unformulated material is composed of vague tendencies; if allowed to develop to the point at which they can be shaped and articulated, these become the more lucid kind of reflective experience we associate with mutually comprehended verbal articulation. (Stern,
One of the most interesting and significant things that constitutive theories of language suggested to me was a contrast with those theories, like Freud’s, in which language is understood as a mere label for meanings that already exist. For Freud (1915b), language is inadequate to unconscious meaning (“thing-presentations”), which are only one step removed from things-in-themselves. Unconscious meanings, that is, cannot be accommodated by words. There is a loss of meaning when “thingpresentations” are linked to language, thereby becoming “wordpresentations.” Word-presentations, the only form in which meaning can enter consciousness, are a paler version than the form they represent. Language, that is, inevitably presents an impoverished rendition of the nonverbal meanings that it labels. In today’s world we see this view of language in the work of (for instance) Daniel Stern (1985; Stern, et al, 1998), Wilma Bucci (1997), and Antonio Damasio (1999).
The constitutive theories of language that are discussed in the chapters to come (e.g., Merleau-Ponty, 1945/1962; Gadamer, 1965/2004; Taylor, 2016) do not portray linguistic representation this way. In these views, the use of language not only does not inevitably sacrifice meaning; language actually contributes to meanings. Language gives form to these meanings, allowing us to create meanings that would never come into being without it.
In Freud’s work, then, and in theories that treat language in the same way, meaning becomes less itself as it moves from unconsciousness to consciousness. The unconscious meaning is the “truer” or more complete form. In the way I put it above, consciousness is the paler form, a dilution of the meaning that exists in the unconscious. But the situation is different in constitutive theories of language. In these theories, which are the accounts of language I have always tapped in writing about unformulated experience (Stern, 1983, 1997), meaning becomes more itself as it moves from unconsciousness to consciousness. The linguistic expression may very well be the more vivid form of the meaning.
We can go further: we can say that, until the situation is right for meaning to become more itself in the special way that language allows, it remains unformulated. The act of formulation, that is, takes place only when meaning is “ready” to become more than it has been; and to be ready it must percolate for as long as it takes. As I wrote in 1983:
It is not as if the unformulated is leaning against the door, just waiting for a chance to overcome resistance and tumble into the room. The unformulated must organize itself first. It must begin to coalesce.… It must send up tendrils, or feelings of tendency. (p. 87)
And then, when the interpersonal field is configured in a way that allows it, a fully formed meaning can emerge. Clinical psychoanalysis is devoted to the recognition and encouragement of such opportunities.
