Learning from the Patient
Throughout Europe, Patrick Casement's work on the interactional aspects of the therapeutic process is well known and highly acclaimed In Casement's lucid treatise, LEARNING FROM THE PATIENT, everything in psychoanalytic theory and technique is up for questioning and for careful testing in the clinical setting; every concept used is explained and illustrated with clinical examples. The author offers an unusual openness about what really happens in the consulting room, including mistakes--his own as well as others'. The patient's unconscious contribution to analytic work is fully illustrated. As a result of this approach, insight is arrived at with a rare freshness as theory is rediscovered in the consulting room. In the course of this volume, Casement develops some familiar concepts and evolves a number that are new, such as: internal supervision, a process in which the analyst/therapist explores the implications of various options during each session with the patient; trial identification with the patient, which encourages analysts and therapists to look at themselves as a patient might see them; and communication by impact, a graphic way of considering the various dimensions of projective identification. Others include the dynamics of containment, the communication of hurt, the pain of contrast, and unconscious hope. In Part I, Casement lays the foundation by establishing the first principles of psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic therapy, as well as those for the process of learning from the patient. In Part II, he more fully explores what emerges from this way of working. He discusses the importance of the analytic space and the need to keep it and the analytic process free from interference of any kind, including that of working style or theoretical bias. He makes a strong case for viewing the analytic process as an expression of the unconscious search for what previously was delayed and is now needed for healthy growth and recovery. Highly accessible, honest, and most of all helpful, this book offers profound insights and is a joy to read. It has much to offer all levels of readership--from students to experienced practitioners--in the disciplines of analysis, psychotherapy, child therapy, clinical psychology, counseling, and social work. It is therefore of interest for anyone in the helping professions and all those concerned with the dynamics of human relationships. .

Post-Jungians Today: Key Papers in Contemporary Analytical Psychology
A showcase for the diversity of Jungian thought around the globe, Post-Jungians Today is based on the central tenet that analytical psychologists have a strong contribution to make to the prominent debates in today's postmodern society. In developing the original insights of Jung himself, post-Jungians are committed to an approach that does not focus exclusively on psychic reality but also takes into account the realities of the outer world. In this book leading figures in the international Jungian community explore how analytical psychologists can be relevant participants in social and political debates on topics such as gender, ethnicity and sexuality. Contributors include Andrew Samuels, Luigi Zoja, John Beebe, Donald Kalsched, Mara Sidoli, Verena Kast, Hayao Kawai, Roberto Gambini, Renos Papadopoulos, Anne Springer, Polly Young-Eisendrath and David Tacey..

The Idea of the Numinous: COntemporary Jungian and Psychoanalytic Perspectives
The idea of the numinous is often raised in psychoanalytic and psychodynamic contexts, but it is rarely itself subjected to close scrutiny This volume examines how the numinous has gained currency in the post-modern world, demonstrating how the numinous is no longer confined to religious discourses but is included in humanist, secular and scientific views of the world. Questions of soul and spirit are increasingly being raised in connection with the scientific exploration of the psyche, and especially in the context of psychotherapy. The contributors to this volume are interested in exploring the numinous in the human psyche, in clinical work, world events, anthropology, sociology, philosophy and the humanities. They originate from multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural backgrounds, bringing a variety of approaches to subjects including: · Witchcraft: the numinous power of humans · Jung and Derrida: the numinous, deconstruction and myth · Accessing the numinous: Apolline and Dionysian pathways · The role of the numinous in the reception of Jung The Idea of the Numinous will fascinate all analytical psychologists, psychoanalysts, and psychotherapists interested in investigating the overlap between therapeutic and religious interests..

Roger Casement: Imperialist, Rebel, Revolutionary. Seamas O'Siochain
Drawing on a trove of official and personal sources, O Siochain shows how what began as an ordinary career in the British consular service became a singular crusade, on three continents, against exploitation, cruelty and injustice. Roger Casement served in the Niger, Mozambique, Angola, and, most momentously, in the Congo, where he witnessed the appalling crimes under Belgian colonial rule and was a key player in the humanitarian campaign that exposed them, forcing King Leopold II to surrender his personal control of the colony. Casement later levelled the same moral compass at the depressingly similar exploitation of natives of the Putumayo, where, as in the Congo, outsiders' hunger for rubber created misery for an indigenous people. His growing interest and involvement in Irish affairs, culminating in his attempts to aid the 1916 Rising and his execution for treason, is narrated here. In an epilogue, O Siochain examines the question that has dominated Casement's afterlife: whether his black diaries, detailing homosexual adventures, were forged by the British in order to discredit him at his trial for treason and effect a judicial assassination..

Roger Casement: A Biography
A biography extending from Casement’s Irish origins to his work in Africa and South America as British consul. Casement’s official reports on the atrocities committed against the rubber gatherers brought him fame and led to reform of the rubber trade in the Congo and the Putumayo. His involvement in the recruitment of Irish prisoners of war to fight against the British during the Great War caused him to be tried for treason and hanged in what is perhaps one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in British history, brought about in part by the leaking of passages from his shockingly homosexual Black Diaries, presented here in almost their entirety..
