by Digital Sextant The Shattered Identity – Part II Article by Sam Vaknin But the unconscious is as much a part of one’s self-identity as one’s conscious. What if, due to a mishap, the roles were reversed? What if Dan’s conscious part were to become his unconscious and his unconscious part – his conscious? What if all his conscious memories, drives, fears, wishes, fantasies, and hopes – were to become unconscious while his repressed memories, drives, etc. – were to become conscious? Would we still say that it is “the same” Dan and that he retains his self-identity? Not very likely. And yet, one’s (unremembered) unconscious – for instance, the conflict between id and ego -….

by Esteban Cavrico The possibility of Freedom Article by Georgina Beadon Is it possible for free will to grow in an individual? Or are our actions determined from birth or from a young age? Its an ongoing argument amoung philosophers, and has been for hundreds of years, as to whether we are essentially determined in our actions, be it by fate or destiny, God, cause and effect or by psychology.I think, along with others, that there is no hard line answer about whether we are determined or not: individuals vary in degree in their personal freedom.

The section on psychoanalysis and culture addresses an area rarely considered in psychoanalysis today, regardless of theoretical model.

Relational Psychoanalysis, Vol. 1: The Emergence of a Tradition Over the course of the past 15 years, there has been a vast sea change in American psychoanalysis. It takes the form of a broad movement away from classical psychoanalytic theorizing grounded in Freud’s drive theory toward models of mind and development grounded in object relations concepts. In clinical practice, there has been a corresponding movement away from the classical principles of neutrality, abstinence and anonymity toward an interactive vision of the analytic situation that places the analytic relationship, with its powerful, reciprocal affective currents, in the foreground. These developments have been evident…. Click Here to Read More
