王毅說邪惡的意志終將戰勝民主自由的分歧
這個命題是集中力量辦大惡事的前提

我不確定尼采同不同意這個說法
我對意志 (will) 有莫大疑問

Freud 的 will to truth
Ferenczi 的 will to heal
Frankl 的 will to meaning
Nietzsche 的 will to power
Heidegger 的 gelassenheit
Orwell 的 fair and decent
共匪的 will to evil

我願相信有些人仍相信 will to goodness

意志明顯是一種自圓其說
而且是很用力的自圓其說

用力的理由是不管自己信不信
讓別人不得不信是最重要目的

意思是說你要裝得很有意志
否則你的褲子就會滑落下來

所以一條腰帶一口氣
那條腰帶就是意志

但我先前說過那條褲子誤了我大半生
意思是說我現在通常不穿褲子走來走去

王毅瞅著我鼻孔朝天不屑的說

邪惡的褲子的意志終將戰勝
民主自由的脫下褲子的分歧

無事 (Daseinsanalysis) (Psychology of the self)

default mode network (DMN) 就是無事
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Default_mode_network

意思是說你洗完每天那五千個碗
坐下來點起紙菸看著深夜的藍天

我先前過那不是失眠
那叫做捨不得睡

你在想明天那五千個碗嗎
有可能如果你是薛西弗斯

你在想昨天那五千個碗嗎
有可能如果你是考古學家

你在想眼前那五千個碗嗎
有可能如果你是被佛印召喚入宮的零零發

禪宗大和尚教我們要做無事之人
我肯定大和尚的碗是小和尚洗的

意思是說洗了四十年後小和尚
就可以教我們怎麼做無事之人

喪屍又來到首爾 (Daseinsanalysis) (Critical Psychotherapy) (Psychology of the self)

明顯是 the already dead
我說過這個片語是有典故的

Resistant subjectivities, then, do not enjoy the freedom of possibility, but only a bare capacity to resist enmity and chance. The modal category of actuality corresponds to this capacity and is expressed in terms of the distension of the event: the capacity to resist does not occupy a punctual present, but is strung between past and future. Resistant subjectivity is in a sense already dead, a posthumous subjectivity evoked by Bakunin in the Revolutionary Catechism and echoed in the declaration before a court of martial law by the German revolutionary Levine that Communists are the dead on leave: they must live as if their death has already been decreed by the enemy; they have no right to life, their survival a matter of chance. It is the sheer necessity of resisting that intensifies their capacity for resistance. Mao, Fanon and the Zapatistas occupy this dead present with varying degrees of affirmation; theirs is the resistant subjectivity described by Clausewitz in terms of the aktus of resistance. (Howard Caygill, 2013, p. 98)

The work of Frantz Fanon (1925–61) constitutes one of the most sophisticated and unflinching analyses of the constitution of a violent resistant subjectivity. An active combatant in the Forces francaises libres after 1943, he was decorated with the Croix de Guerre, but had few illusions about the ‘false ideology’ for which he was fighting. His experience of combat left him with what Magali Bessone has aptly described as ‘le sentiment d’un mort en suspens’ (Fanon 2011, 25), the sense of already being dead – that is, devoid of possibility – that characterizes many expressions of resistant
subjectivity. (ibid, p. 99)

但明顯又非上述之 the already dead
Howard Caygill 講的是反抗的主體性

這個片語可以翻成視死如歸從容就義
陳映真筆下被行刑前的共產黨員如是
意思是說為信仰而死的共產黨員是高貴的
(我先前說過二十世紀初葉如果你不左傾你就沒有血性
這句話是過去一百五十年歷史的最大的飛蛾撲火的嘲諷)
活著的共匪都變成新階級這點陳映真故意不說
普通中國人也不被容許想起

你知道他媽的新階級有多爽嗎

這個片語也可以翻成其實我已死去
意思是說倖存者承載著死者的陰魂
Winnicott, Bion, Levi 都有這個蠱惑

喪屍始於病毒感染終於行屍走肉
我不理解為什麼有的蹣跚有的敏捷
我見過最優美的一幕是喪屍們黑夜
一起抬頭呆看天上瞬間即逝的璀璨煙火

意思是說那個瞬間他們變成存在哲學家

喪屍有一個缺點就是沒有語言
沒有或只有一點殘存的記憶
極少數會發出野獸的哀嚎

這點說明喪屍片只能動作包括追逐和吃
所以他們的日子過得很無聊

這種電影化妝是關鍵必須非常傑出
我見過最驚人的一幕是屍海攻破耶路撒冷城
這就是共匪講的(無辜砲灰)人民戰爭的汪洋大海

喪屍有一個優點就是不攻擊同類
意思是說活著的共匪連喪屍都不如

聽說喪屍昨天又來到首爾
我希望這回他們喜歡吃泡菜

A sexton is an officer of a church, congregation, or synagogue charged with the maintenance of its buildings and/or the surrounding graveyard.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Heidegger#Early_years

Raised a Roman Catholic, he was the son of the sexton of the village church that adhered to the First Vatican Council of 1870, which was observed mainly by the poorer class of Meßkirch.

Gerard Sekoto (1913-1993)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerard_Sekoto

https://www.amazon.com/Am-African-Times-Gerard-Sekoto/dp/1868144003/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=manganyi&qid=1596766046&s=books&sr=1-8 (N. Chabani Manganyi, 2004)

Gerard Sekoto is without doubt one of South Africa's major painters of the twentieth century. Considered increasingly as one of the earliest South African modernists and social realists, he completed his most memorable work during the early and middle years of the 1940s, first at Sophiatown (Johannesburg), then in District Six in Cape Town and later in Eastwood, Pretoria. When he left to go to Paris in 1947, he was at the height of his creative powers. Yet during the forty-five years that he spent as an exile in France, his talent, moral resilience, dedication, belief in the equality of all people and, most of all, his identity as an African sustained him during the most difficult times.

Sekoto said of his work, "All my paintings searched to rediscover an identity common to all people of different origins, to the quest for the common relation between beings."

The story told in this book reveals the extent to which triumphant moments in the painter's life were, at times, accompanied by heart-rending adversity. Interesting too is the richness retrospectively brought to light by the discovery, after Sekoto's death, of the painter's suitcase of treasures, which contained previously unknown musical compositions, letters and a large quantity of notes, writings and private documents.

The biography ends with a statement by Gerard Sekoto on art and the responsibility of artists, which he presented in Rome in 1959. Photographs and full color plates of previously unpublished and significant paintings are included.

Chabani Manganyi, currently a Vice Principal at the University of Pretoria, is a clinical psychologist, biographer, and non-fiction writer. (amazon)

Frantz Fanon and the Psychology of Oppression (Path in Psychology) (Hussein Abdilahi Bulhan, Plenum Press, 1985)

This is a biography of Frantz Fanon. It presents an absorbing and careful ac count of several impressive themes. First is the review and assessment of Fanon's life. Second is a theory of psychology, by the author, which will aug ment and prove useful to theorists and practitioners who focus on Third World people. And lastly there is a broad and systematic integration of many areas of scholarship including philosophy, anthropology, political science, history, sociology, mythology, public health, and economics. Bulhan's writing is lucid, creative, and persuasive. It demonstrates that all these scholarly areas must be handled with erudition in order to build a baseline for understanding both Fanon and the psychology of oppression. Readers of Fanon will be familiar with the psychology of oppression which he presented so forcefully. How life events and experiences led to the formulation of this psychology is the chief emphasis of the author. Yet the book also gives scintillating clinical proof that Fanon made many other significant contributions to his field. He was an outstanding and dedicated physician as well as a philosopher and political activist. (amazon)

立秋 (Daseinsanalysis)

不喜讀傳記會只能挑章節讀因為對那 Part I-II 必然的漫長的童年青春期厭倦
換個方式說如果真要研究那個人的一生必然是因為他的成年有故事
當然你可以從童年的蛛絲馬跡讀出之後的端倪但那是後來迴溯的推論
這種推論符合精神分析的玩法好像從頭到尾這個人是一體成型的完整和諧
這種推論低估了變節失節的戲劇性的必要對於有趣的人生而言
所以我們小結一下如果你對那個人有興趣以至於你必須讀他的傳記
你要從中間讀起有時跳到最後一章也許最後會讀到第一章但極可能讀不到

這兩年大概瀏覽了幾千部電影這個經驗教我直覺的重要對於大數據
以此類推對於浩瀚書海資料庫亦應如此處理
然後你會在某些段落逗留有時短暫有時甚久
關鍵文本關鍵章節關鍵段落關鍵句關鍵片語關鍵字
關鍵的回憶

關鍵的意思是說它打到你像雷一樣

關鍵的是你空下來無事的時間意思是說有時你會穿褲出門一下辦點事就回來繼續脫褲
所以關鍵是脫褲不是穿褲這件事我花了六十年才搞懂意思是說褲子誤了我大半生

Frantz Fanon and Emancipatory Theory: A View from the Wretched (Studies in Critical Social Science) (ed. Dustin J. Byrd, Seyed Javad Miri, Haymarket Books, 2020-10-6)

In Frantz Fanon and Emancipatory Social Theory: A View from the Wretched, Dustin J. Byrd and Seyed Javad Miri bring together a collection of essays by a variety of scholars who explore the lasting influence of Frantz Fanon, renowned psychiatrist, revolutionary, and social theorist.

Fanon’s work not only gave voice to the “wretched” in the Algerian War of Independence (1954-1962), but also shaped the radical resistance to colonialism, empire, and racism throughout much of the world. His seminal works, such as Black Skin, White Masks, and The Wretched of the Earth, were read by The Black Panther Party in the United States, anti-imperialists in Africa and Asia, and anti-monarchist revolutionaries in the Middle East. Today, many revolutionaries and scholars have returned to Fanon’s work, as it continues to shed light on the nature of colonial domination, racism, and class oppression.

Contributors include: Syed Farid Alatas, Rose Brewer, Dustin J. Byrd, Sean Chabot, Richard Curtis, Nigel C. Gibson, Ali Harfouch, Timothy Kerswell, Seyed Javad Miri, Mumia Abu-Jamal, Pramod K. Nayar, Elena Flores Ruíz, Majid Sharifi, Mohamed Imran Mohamed Taib and Esmaeil Zeiny. (amazon)

Being and Event (Alaine Badiou, 1988) (2005)

Being and Event

The major propositions of Badiou's philosophy all find their basis in Being and Event, in which he continues his attempt (which he began in Théorie du sujet) to reconcile a notion of the subject with ontology, and in particular post-structuralist and constructivist ontologies. A frequent criticism of post-structuralist work is that it prohibits, through its fixation on semiotics and language, any notion of a subject. Badiou's work is, by his own admission, an attempt to break out of contemporary philosophy's fixation upon language, which he sees almost as a straitjacket. This effort leads him, in Being and Event, to combine rigorous mathematical formulae with his readings of poets such s Mallarmé and Hölderlin and religious thinkers such as Pascal. His philosophy draws upon both 'analytical' and 'continental' traditions. In Badiou's own opinion, this combination places him awkwardly relative to his contemporaries, meaning that his work had been only slowly taken up. Being and Event offers an example of this slow uptake, in fact: it was translated into English only in 2005, a full seventeen years after its French publication.

As is implied in the title of the book, two elements mark the thesis of Being and Event: the place of ontology, or 'the science of being qua being' (being in itself), and the place of the event – which is seen as a rupture in being – through which the subject finds realization and reconciliation with truth. This situation of being and the rupture which characterizes the event are thought in terms of set theory, and specifically Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory (with the axiom of choice), to which Badiou accords a fundamental role in a manner quite distinct from the majority of either mathematicians or philosophers.

The Rise of Victimhood Culture: Microaggressions, Safe Spaces, and the New Culture Wars (Bradley Campbell, Jason Manning, Palgrave Macmillan, 2018)

The Rise of Victimhood Culture offers a framework for understanding recent moral conflicts at U.S. universities, which have bled into society at large. These are not the familiar clashes between liberals and conservatives or the religious and the secular: instead, they are clashes between a new moral culture―victimhood culture―and a more traditional culture of dignity. Even as students increasingly demand trigger warnings and “safe spaces,” many young people are quick to police the words and deeds of others, who in turn claim that political correctness has run amok. Interestingly, members of both camps often consider themselves victims of the other. In tracking the rise of victimhood culture, Bradley Campbell and Jason Manning help to decode an often dizzying cultural milieu, from campus riots over conservative speakers and debates around free speech to the election of Donald Trump. (amazon) (accessible via scribd)

The Declared Enemy: Texts and Interviews (Jean Genet, Stanford University Press, 2003)

This posthumous work brings together articles, interviews, statements, prefaces, manifestos, and speeches dating from 1964 to 1985 (just before Genet's death in 1986). These texts bear witness to the many political causes and groups with which Genet felt an affinity, including May ’68 and the treatment of immigrants in France, but especially the Black Panthers and the Palestinians. We follow him from the Chicago Democratic Convention (where he met William Burroughs and Alan Ginsberg) to Yale University, where he gave the famous May Day Speech in support of the Black Panthers, to Jordan and the Palestinian camps. Along the way, Genet finds allies (George Jackson, Angela Davis, Leyla Shahid, Tahar Ben Jelloun). And, of course, enemies. Between passionate enmity and passionate affinity, Genet speaks for a politics of protest, with an uncompromising outrage that, today, might seem on the verge of being forgotten. The texts are accompanied by detailed editorial notes. (amazon) (accessible via scribd)

Power of Reading: From Socrates to Twitter (Frank Furedi, Bloomsbury Continuum, 2015)

Eminent cultural and social historian Frank Furedi presents an eclectic and entirely original history of reading. The very act of reading and the choice of reading material endow individuals with an identity that possesses great symbolic significance. In ancient Rome, Cicero was busy drawing up a hierarchy of different types of readers. Since that time, people have been divided into a variety of categories--literates and illiterates, intensive and extensive readers, or vulgo and discreet readers. In the 19th century, accomplished readers were praised as "men of letters," while their moral opposites were described as "unlettered." Today, distinctions are made between cultural and instrumental readers and scorn is directed toward the infamous "tabloid reader."

Power of Reading explores the changing meanings attributed to the act of reading. Although it has a historical perspective, the book's focus is very much on the culture of reading that prevails in the 21st century. It is a fascinating insight into understanding the post-Gutenberg debates about literacy in a multimedia environment with such a strong emphasis on the absorption of information. Taking a cue from George Steiner, Furedi argues vigorously for the restoration of the art of reading--every bit as important as the art of writing. (amazon)

How Fear Works: Culture of Fear in the Twenty-First Century (Frank Furedi, Bloomsbury Continuum, 2018)

In 1997, Frank Furedi published a book called Culture of Fear. It was widely acclaimed as perceptive and prophetic. Now Furedi returns to his original theme, as most of what he predicted has come true.

In this new book, Furedi seeks to explain two interrelated themes: why has fear acquired such a morally commanding status in society today and how has the way we fear today changed from the way that it was experienced in the past? He explores key moments in the history of fear to help situate the workings of this emotion in contemporary society.

Furedi argues that one of the main drivers of the culture of fear is unraveling of moral authority. Fear appears to provide a provisional solution to moral uncertainty and is for that reason embraced by a variety of interests, parties, and individuals. Furedi predicts that until society finds a more positive orientation towards uncertainty the politicization of fear will flourish.

Fear has become a problem in its own right to the extent that people now use the term "culture of fear" as an everyday idiom. It has become detached from its material and physical source and experienced as a secular version of a transcendental force. So now fear has become a "Perspective" accepted throughout society. Furedi claims that this perspective has acquired a dominant status because in contrast to other options it appears to be singularly effective in influencing people's behavior.

Society is trained to believe that the threats it faces are incalculable and cannot be controlled or regulated. The acceptance of this outlook has been paralleled by the cultivation of helplessness and passivity--all this has resulted in a redefinition of personhood. As a consequence we are constantly searching for new forms of security, both physical and ontological. What is the role of the media in promoting fear and who actually benefits from this culture of fear? These are some of the issues Furedi tackles and much more. (amazon)

Why Borders Matter: Why Humanity Must Relearn the Art of Drawing Boundaries (Frank Furedi, Routledge, 2020)

Western society has become estranged from the borders and social boundaries that have for centuries given meaning to human experience. This book argues that the controversy surrounding mass migration and physical borders runs in parallel and is closely connected to the debates surrounding the symbolic boundaries people need to guide on the issues of everyday life.

Numerous commentators claim that borders have become irrelevant in the age of mass migration and globalisation. Some go so far as to argue for ‘No Borders’. And it is not merely the boundaries that divide nations that are under attack! The traditional boundaries that separate adults from children, or men from women, or humans from animals, or citizens and non-citizens, or the private from the public sphere are often condemned as arbitrary, unnatural, and even unjust. Paradoxically, the attempt to alter or abolish conventional boundaries coexists with the imperative of constructing new ones. No-Border campaigners call for safe spaces. Opponents of cultural appropriation demand the policing of language and advocates of identity politics are busy building boundaries to keep out would-be encroachers on their identity.

Furedi argues that the key driver of the confusion surrounding borders and boundaries is the difficulty that society has in endowing experience with meaning. The most striking symptom of this trend is the cultural devaluation of the act of judgment, which has led to a loss of clarity about the moral boundaries in everyday life. The infantilisation of adults that runs in tandem with the adultification of children offers a striking example of the consequence of non-judgmentalism.

Written in a clear and direct style, this book will appeal to students and scholars in cultural sociology, sociology of knowledge, philosophy, political theory, and cultural studies. (amazon)

The Oxford Handbook of Phenomenological Psychopathology (International Perspectives in Philosophy and Psychiatry) (ed. Giovanni Stanghellini, et al, Oxford University Press, 2019) (Psychology of the self) (Daseinsanalysis)

The field of phenomenological psychopathology (PP) is concerned with exploring and describing the individual experience of those suffering from mental disorders. Whilst there is often an understandable emphasis within psychiatry on diagnosis and treatment, the subjective experience of the individual is frequently overlooked.

Yet a patient's own account of how their illness affects their thoughts, values, consciousness, and sense of self, can provide important insights into their condition - insights that can complement the more empirical findings from studies of brain function or behaviour.

The Oxford Handbook of Phenomenological Psychopathology is the first ever comprehensive review of the field. It considers the history of PP, its methodology, key concepts, and includes a section exploring individual experiences within schizophrenia, depression, borderline personality disorder, OCD, and phobia. In addition it includes chapters on some of the leading figures throughout the history of this field.

Bringing together chapters from a global team of leading academics, researchers and practitioners, the book will be valuable for those within the fields of psychiatry, clinical psychology, and philosophy. (amazon) (accessible via scribd)

批判的心理治療者 (Critical Psychotherapy) (Psychology of the self) (Daseinsanalysis)

Andrew Samuels (Chap 10, in Del Loewenthal, 2015, kindle location 3894/6943) 提出 trickster-therapist 一詞來說明他理想中(批判的)治療者的狀態 Trickster 屬榮格的原型 (archetype) 之一這點可以說明為什麼 Samuels 想到這個詞有趣的是希臘神話裡的 Trickster正是 Hermes 而 Hermes 正是詮釋學的起源他是那個有名的 boundary-crosser (Lewis Hyde, 1998) Samuels 對他的描述是

What attracts me to the Trickster-Therapist is their very lack of a coherent psychological project. In fact, they lack ambition to do good. If they do good it is often by accident. This is how I have come to think of healing and cure in psychotherapy. There can be little or no cleaning up of our Trickster-Therapist. Primitivity and amorality make Tricksters what they are.

The Greek Trickster god was Hermes, who was responsible for trade and commerce, maintenance and penetration of boundaries, and carrying the messages of the gods, as well as carrying out practical jokes and mockery of the powerful.

Can this coarsely energetic figure be refashioned so as to speak to therapists ? (Andrew Samuels (2015) Chap 10, in Del Loewenthal, 2015, kindle location 3894/6943)

我以前說過治療者是植物的存在他把自己種在荒原他不能動 (意思是說他的不動是不能動) 顯然談不上穿梭跨越邊界既然他不能動所以這種方式看待治療者是以石面人 (The Great Stone Face, Nathaniel Hawthorne, 1850) 為原型這明顯是辛苦的仍存一線希望感動天地的原型

結合上述兩者的是九叔跨陰陽兩界可以收妖抓鬼但又住在小鎮喝咖啡不知道加奶對徒弟小氣巴拉偶而被女鬼看上吃了黃泥就可以說鬼話與鬼差討價還價

你說這算不算批判的心理治療者

雞兔同籠 (Critical Psychotherapy)

這是小學算術題你知道
但是你不知道為什麼雞兔會同籠

當然是因為有人把牠們擺進同一個籠子

所以Deleuze和Guattari做的就是把資本主義和Oedipus
擺進同一個籠子

這是跨學科的狂野的想像
這引起秩序和破壞秩序的矛盾

我想回到自然原本是沒有籠子的
全新世的農業世界人類豢養馴化了一批倒楣的動物

發明了畜牧業才發明了籠子

我過去九年往龜山蘆洲樹林板橋多次
偶而會見到載著待宰的豬隻的貨卡

這和納粹把猶太人塞進貨運火車進焚化爐是同樣的悲傷

有一次貨卡司機在紅燈前停下來
憤怒地用尖銳的棍子戳不安分的豬

你知道你我就是那隻被戳的豬
如果你我不安分

但安分不安分
都無法改變被屠宰的命運

回到跨學科的把兩個不同領域的概念放進同一個籠子聯想
我想 Deleuze 和 Guattari本質上是小學數學老師

才會做這麼愚蠢的事
當然你我就是那個更蠢的取悅老師的小學生

才會去忙著算三億七千九百八十六萬五千六百四十九隻腳
共有幾隻雞幾隻兔

你不要忘記金雞獨立
有些雞只有一隻腳

這件事教我們
算術不是這麼學的

德勒茲的慾望 (Critical Psychotherapy)

他和 Guattari 不同意 Lacan 的說法慾望源自缺少 (lack)
所以慾望變成一個工廠 (factory) 製造出四處流竄的慾望

一千個高原明顯不足以容納那個流竄的可能性

我珍惜這片山蟬鳴不歇的夏天
這算不算慾望的流竄

以前我做過一個分野 (distinction) 關於需要和慾望
我說需要是基本的慾望是後來才發生的

比如說你一天要喝一千五百cc水是需要
你堅持要一天要喝一千五百cc八二年拉菲是慾望

慾望的被製造和資本主義的運作有關
有沒有可能仍有簡單的知足的慾望的可能

比如說你一天要喝一千五百cc水是需要
你說來一杯冰涼的柳橙汁大約二百cc如何

如果資本主義是製造問題的源頭
馬克思的初衷就是想解決這個問題

起碼馬克思這個書生是這麼想的
結果我們知道當然是製造出更大的問題

意思是說批判的心理治療面對的是系統
它要小心不要大話不是要毀滅這個系統

它的戰役只能是局部的戰役
在那個系統的高牆上鑿幾個洞的戰役

這種局部的戰役能不能稱之為革命
我們的革命家會嗤之以鼻

我坐在牆下喝著那一千三百cc水和二百cc柳橙汁
我知道今天頂多只能這樣了

Psychotherapy As Religion: The Civil Divine In America (William M. Epstein, University of Nevada Press, 2006) (Critical Psychotherapy)

A provocative look at America on the couch.In Psychotherapy as Religion, William Epstein sets out to debunk claims that psychotherapy provides successful clinical treatment for a wide range of personal and social problems. He argues that the practice is not a science at all but rather the civil religion of America, reflecting the principles of radical self-invention and self-reliance deeply embedded in the psyche of the nation. Epstein begins by analyzing a number of clinical studies conducted over the past two decades that purport to establish the effectiveness of psychotherapeutic treatments. He finds that each study violates in some way the standard criteria of scientific credibility and that the field has completely failed to establish objective procedures and measurements to assess clinical outcomes. Epstein exposes psychotherapy’s deep roots in the religious and intellectual movements of the early nineteenth century by demonstrating striking parallels between various types of therapy and such popular practices as Christian Science and spiritualism. Psychotherapy has taken root in our culture because it so effectively reflects our national faith in individual responsibility for social and personal problems. It thrives as the foundation of American social welfare policy, blaming deviance and misery on deficiencies of character rather than on the imperfections of society and ignoring the influence of unequal and deficient social conditions while requiring miscreants to undergo the moral reeducation that psychotherapy represents. This is a provocative, brilliantly argued look at America on the couch. Psychotherapy as Religion is essential reading for anyone interested in the history and current state of mental health. (amazon) (accessible via scribd)

"In fact, there has never been a scientifically credible study that attests to the effectiveness of any form of psychotherapy for any mental or emotional problem under any condition of treatment." (ibid, p. 220) (quoted by Paul Moloney (2015), Psychology, Psychotherapy - Coming to Our Senses?, Chap 14, in Del Loewenthal, 2015, kindle location 4941/6943)

Psychotherapy and the Social Clinic in the United States: Soothing Fictions (William M. Epstein, Palgrave Macmillan, 2019) (Critical Psychotherapy)

This book offers a compelling critical analysis of American society by examining the role of psychotherapy within social policy and the culture that has fashioned it. It takes a deeply critical look at ‘the social clinic,’ defined here as a ubiquitous organizational arrangement that includes clinical and community psychology, counseling, clinical social work, psychiatry, much of the self-help industry, complementary and alternative medicine and others. Epstein’s analysis concludes that the social clinic lacks credible evidence of effectiveness and its continued popularity expresses popular but predatory American values such as romantic individualism, the triumph of the subjective, a sense of personal and political chosenness, persistent bigotry, and a preference for tribal as opposed to civic identities. This careful examination of American society through the lens of psychotherapeutic practice characterizes the social clinic as a soothing fiction of the United States.

The book offers caring services as the unrealized alternative to clinical treatment, capable of achieving greater personal adjustment as well as social and economic equality. It will appeal to readers with an interest in social welfare, public policy, and public administration, as well as to students and scholars of psychotherapy, counseling, social work, rehabilitation, and community psychology.

八月一日

而那個調整會透過 epigenetics 來表現以致重大的調整會藉著繁衍把改變的基因表現傳下去
上述是一個漫長的不確定的過程不確定在適應不見得能倖存倖存不見得能繁衍
上述也說明基因庫是生機盎然地在演變著的當然基因的命運是一個不確定的旅途

Freud and the Émigré: Austrian Émigrés, Exiles and the Legacy of Psychoanalysis in Britain, 1930s–1970s (ed. Elana Shapira, Daniela Finzi, Palgrave Macmillan, 2020-11-8)

This book reconsiders standard narratives regarding Austrian émigrés and exiles to Britain by addressing the seminal role of Sigmund Freud and his writings, and the critical part played by his contemporaries, in the construction of a method promoting humanized relations between individual and society and subjectivity and culture. This anthology presents groundbreaking examples of the manners in which well-known personalities including psychoanalysts Anna Freud and Ernst Kris, sociologist Marie Jahoda, authors Stefan Zweig and Hilde Spiel, film director Berthold Viertel, architect Ernst Freud, and artist Oskar Kokoschka, achieved a greater impact, and contributed to the broadening of British and global cultures, through constructing a psychologically effective language and activating their émigré networks. They advanced a visionary Viennese tradition through political and social engagements and through promoting humanistic perspectives in their scientific, educational and artistic works. (amazon)

Scansion in Psychoanalysis and Art: The Cut in Creation (Art, Creativity, and Psychoanalysis Book Series) (Vanessa Sinclair, Routledge, 2020-11-17)

Scansion in Psychoanalysis and Art examines a strain of artists spanning more than a century, beginning at the dawn of photography and culminating in the discussion of contemporary artists, to illustrate various psychoanalytic concepts by examining artists working in a multitude of mediums.

Drawing on the theories of Sigmund Freud, who applied psychoanalytic methods to art and literature to decipher the meaning and intention of the creator, as well as Jacques Lacan’s dissemination of scansion as a powerful disruption of narrative, the book explores examples of the long and rich relationship between psychoanalysis and the fine arts. Whilst guiding readers through the different artists and their artforms - from painting and music to poetry, collage, photography, film, performance art, technology and body modification - Sinclair interrogates scansion as a generative process often inherent of the act of creation itself.

This is an intriguing book for psychoanalysts, psychologists and creative arts therapists, who wish to explore the generative potential of scansion and the relationship between psychoanalysis and the arts, as well as to artists and art historians interested in a psychoanalytic view of these processes.

When Minds Meet: The Work of Lewis Aron (Relational Perspectives Book Series) (ed. Galit Atlas, Routledge, 2020-11-30)

This extraordinary volume offers a sampling of Lewis Aron’s most important contributions to Relational psychoanalysis.

One of the founders of Relational thinking, Aron was an internationally recognized psychoanalyst, sought after teacher, lecturer, and the Director of the New York University Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis. His pioneering work introduced and revolutionized the concepts of mutuality, the analyst’s subjectivity, and the paradigm of mutual vulnerability in the analytic setting. During the last few years of his life, Aron was exploring the ethical considerations of writing psychoanalytic case histories and the importance of self-reflection and scepticism not only for analysts with their patients, but also as a stance towards the field of psychoanalysis itself. Aron is known for his singular, highly compelling teaching and writing style and for an unparalleled ability to convey complex, often comparative theoretical concepts in a uniquely inviting and approachable way. The reader will encounter both seminal papers on the vision and method of contemporary clinical practice, as well as cutting edge newer writing from the years just before his death. Edited and with a foreword by Galit Atlas, each chapter is preceded by a new introduction by some of the most important thinkers in our field: Jessica Benjamin, Michael Eigen Jay Greenberg, Adrienne Harris, Stephen Hartman Steven Kuchuck, Thomas Ogden, Joyce Slochower, Donnel Stern, Merav Roth, Chana Ullman and Aron himself.

This book will make an important addition to the libraries of experienced clinicians and psychoanalytic scholars already familiar with Aron’s work, as well as students, newer professionals or anyone seeking an introduction to relational psychoanalysis and one of its most stunning, vibrant voices.(amazon)

Theoretical and Clinical Perspectives on Narrative in Psychoanalysis: The Creation of Intimate Fictions (Joye Weisel-Barth, Routledge, 2020-12-30)

This book is of and about psychoanalytic stories. It describes the personal, theoretical, and cultural stories that patients and analysts bring, create, and modify in analytic work. It shows how the joint creation of new life narratives over time results in transformed senses of self and relationship.

Flowing from the tradition of narrative theory, these stories seek to recast the creation of analytic narratives in social contexts and contemporary relational theories. They depict ongoing therapeutic process and heightened interactive events and moments that together expand personal scope and change life directions for both partners in the analytic dyad. Its stories illuminate sometimes difficult and arcane analytic theory, bringing the meanings and utility of theory into living action. They also show how familiar emotions such as love, hate, envy, loneliness and active human values such as empathy, generosity, and good faith function in psychoanalytic interaction. In short, these analytic stories are useful teaching tools. The narrative tales in this book address a wide range of history and emotions in both patients and analyst. The patients, fictionalized characters from a lifetime of analytic practice, are protagonists with backgrounds of trauma, loss, relational and geographical dislocation but also successful adaptations and struggle toward self-development. Some of their stories describe intense short-term work and others long-term analytic relationships. The subjective experience and responses of the analyst are also central parts of the analytic fictions. (amazon)

for me, fiction, if it is worth its salt, has to be fragmented and cruel, and, not sure yet, but maybe, this one, is a pro-Proustian one, in other words, you can relax, there is no unsweetened horror here

Talking about Evil: Psychoanalytic, Social, and Cultural Perspectives (Relational Perspectives Book Series) (ed. Rina Lazar, Routledge, 2016)

How can we talk about evil? How can we make sense of its presence all around us? How can we come to terms with the sad fact that our involvement in doing or enabling evil is an interminable aspect of our lives in the world? This book is an attempt to engage these questions in a new way.

Written from within the complicated reality of Israel, the contributors to this book forge a collective effort to think about evil from multiple perspectives. A necessary effort, since psychoanalysis has been slow to account for the existence of evil, while philosophy and the social sciences have tended to neglect its psychological aspects.

The essays collected here join to form a wide canvas on which a portrait of evil gradually emerges, from the Bible, through the enlightenment to the Holocaust; from Kant, through Freud, Klein, Bromberg and Stein to Arendt, Agamben and Bauman; using literature, history, cinema, social theory and psychoanalysis. 　

Talking about Evil opens up a much needed space for thinking, in itself an antidote to evil. It will be of interest to psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, and scholars and students of philosophy, social theory and the humanities.(amazon) (accessible via scribd)

The Already Dead: The New Time of Politics, Culture, and Illness (Eric Cazdyn, Duke University Press, 2012)

In The Already Dead, Eric Cazdyn examines the ways that contemporary medicine, globalization, politics, and culture intersect to produce a condition and concept that he names "the new chronic." Cazdyn argues that just as contemporary medicine uses targeted drug therapies and biotechnology to manage rather than cure diseases, global capitalism aims not for resolution but rather for a continual state of crisis management that perpetuates the iniquities of the status quo. Engaging critical theory, philosophy, and psychoanalysis, he explores the ways that crisis affects perceptions of time and denies alternative ways of being and thinking.

To resist the exploitative crisis state, which Cazdyn terms "the global abyss," he posits the concept of "the already dead," a condition in which the subject (medical, political, psychological) has been killed but has yet to die. Embracing this condition, he argues, allows for a revolutionary consciousness open to a utopian future. Woven into Cazdyn's analysis are personal anecdotes about his battle with leukemia and his struggle to obtain Canadian citizenship during his illness. These narratives help to illustrate his systemic critique, one that reconfigures the relationship between politics, capitalism, revolution, and the body. (amazon) (Introduction, accessible via scribd)

When asked whether he would see a new patient, a psychoanalyst wanted to know if it was an emergency. ‘‘No, the patient’s relatively stable, functional, adjusted—not in crisis,’’ the referring doctor replied. ‘‘Oh no!’’ the analyst exclaimed. ‘‘In that case I better see him right away.’

Being Posthuman: Ontologies of the Future (Zahi Zalloua, Bloomsbury Academic, 2021-1-14)

Posthumanism is both a descriptive and a prescriptive term. Firstly, it registers a shift beginning in the late 1960s and epitomized by Foucault's “the death of Man”. Secondly, it refers to the future and a new relationship with the non-human, along with a different understanding of human exceptionalism.

In Being Posthuman: Ontologies of the Future, Zahi Zalloua interrogates this future and shows that “post-” does not necessarily mean 'after' or that what comes after is more advanced than what has gone before. He pursues this line of inquiry across four distinct, yet interrelated, figures: cyborgs, animals, objects, and racialized and excluded 'others'. These figures disrupt the narrative of the 'human' and its singularity and by reading them together, Zalloua determines that it is only when posthumanist discourse is combined with psychoanalysis that subjectivity can be properly examined.
