Time in Psychoanalysis: Some Contradictory Aspects Time is a traditional theme in philosophy and a fundamental theme in psychoanalysis. The wealth of studies devoted to the former contrasts strikingly with their scarcity in the latter. Over more than 40 years, Freud elaborated different hypotheses on the conception of time in psychoanalysis. His speculations contained numerous different aspects: a developmental point of view (the libido theory) involving fixations and regressions, the process of “retroaction”, dreams as a form of indirect recollection, the timelessness of the unconscious, the function played by primal phantasies in categorizing experience and, finally, repetition….

Toward an Emancipatory Psychoanalysis: Brandchaft’s Intersubjective Vision (Psychoanalytic Inquiry Book Series) Best known for his contributions to the development of contemporary intersubjectivity theory, Bernard Brandchaft has dedicated a career to the advancement of psychoanalytic theory and practice.

Subtitles adapted from the translation by Denis Hollier, Rosalind Krauss, and Annette Michelson in ‘Television: A Challenge to the Psychoanalytic Establishment’ – Jacques Lacan (Norton, London: 1990). Complete video (without subtitles) at ubuweb.com. There is no structure except through language. There is no sexual relation. “Every interview is a comedy, as is perhaps every bond built up by speech – including even analysis. Lacan never shied away from theatrics – it goes hand in hand with the use of discourse. The bores reproached him for it; they reason badly. What we agreed upon beforehand was that I would converse with Lacan in front of the cameras. But that…. Click Here to Read More

Toward a Psychology of Uncertainty: Trauma-Centered Psychoanalysis (Psychoanalytic Inquiry Book Series) Since trauma is a thoroughly relational phenomenon, it is highly unpredictable, and cannot be made to fit within the scientific framework Freud so admired. In Toward a Psychology of Uncertainty: Trauma-Centered Psychoanalysis, Doris Brothers urges a return to a trauma-centered psychoanalysis. Making use of relational systems theory, she shows that experiences of uncertainty are continually transformed by the regulatory processes of everyday life such as feeling, knowing, forming categories, making decisions, using language, creating narratives, sensing time, remembering, forgetting,….

The Freud Files: An Inquiry into the History of Psychoanalysis How did psychoanalysis attain its prominent cultural position? How did it eclipse rival psychologies and psychotherapies, such that it became natural to bracket Freud with Copernicus and Darwin? Why did Freud ‘triumph’ to such a degree that we hardly remember his rivals? This book reconstructs the early controversies around psychoanalysis and shows that rather than demonstrating its superiority, Freud and his followers rescripted history. This legend-making was not an incidental addition to psychoanalytic theory but formed its core. Letting the primary material speak for itself, this history demonstrates the extraordinary….
