Schelling, Freud, and the Philosophical Foundations of Psychoanalysis: Uncanny Belonging (Psychology and the Other)

by Teresa Fenichel

Schelling, Freud, and the Philosophical Foundations of Psychoanalysis provides a long-overdue dialogue between two seminal thinkers, Schelling and Freud. Through a sustained reading of the sublime, mythology, the uncanny, and freedom, this book provokes the reader to retrieve and revive the shared roots of philosophy and psychoanalysis. Teresa Fenichel examines the philosophical basis for the concepts of the unconscious and for the nature of human freedom on which psychoanalysis rests. Drawing on the work of German philosopher F. W. J. Schelling, the author explores how his philosophical understanding of human actions, based as it was on the ideas of drives, informed and helped shape Freud’s work. Fenichel also stresses the philosophical weight of Freudian psychoanalysis, specifically in regards to the problem of freedom and argues that psychoanalysis complicates and reinforces Schelling’s basic idea: to know reality we must engage with the world empathetically and intimately. This book also serves as an introduction to Schelling’s thought, arguing that his metaphysics—particularly concerning the primacy of the unconscious and of fantasy—can be read as a therapeutic endeavor. Finally, the book offers a deep rethinking of the action and nature of sublimation through both Freud’s and Schelling’s texts. Fenichel suggests psychoanalytic therapy is self-interpretation—a recognition of our narratives as narratives, without for that reason taking them any less seriously. Schelling, Freud, and the Philosophical Foundations of Psychoanalysis will be of great interest to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists as well as scholars of philosophy.

Schema Re-schematized

by Harwood Fisher

This volume expands the concept and role of the schema, with three goals in mind: 1) to outline the continuing issues in the schema concept as the legacy of Kant's concept and analysis, 2) to show that Kant's challenges resulted in successful but truncated views of the schema and its functions, 3) to reconstruct Otto Selz's schema concept by proposing an alternative. The basis and scope of Selz's schema were intended to yield a more complete follow-up to Kant's challenges These had emerged out of his unresolved view of the schema as knowledge, on one hand, and thought, on the other. Selz' concepts--'anticipatory schema,' 'coordinate relations,' and 'knowledge complex'--are more inclusive and psychologically dynamic than those of his influential but reductionist detractors: Piaget, Bartlett, and Craik. Harwood Fisher explores Selz' ideas in past, present, and future temporal contexts. His predecessors' and his contemporaries' ideas influenced him. Present-day needs and future prospects round out a Selzian conception of the schema that would enrich a psychology of thought and knowledge.

Schematherapie en de Gezonde Volwassene: Positieve technieken uit de praktijk

by Silvia Pol Anne-Marie Claassen

Therapeuten zijn al twee decennia enthousiast over het werken met Schematherapie. De effectiviteit van Schematherapie is hoog en de positieve resultaten zijn internationaal erkend en bevestigd. In de Schematherapie wordt de Gezonde Volwassene gepositioneerd tegenover de kwetsbare kanten en destructieve kanten van de cliënt. In dit boek worden vanuit verschillende disciplines interventies beschreven, die specifiek ontwikkeld zijn voor het vergroten en versterken van de Gezonde Volwassene. Deze interventies komen zowel uit de Schematherapie zelf als uit de Positieve Psychologie en Mindfulness. Deze laatste stromingen winnen gestaag aan populariteit en maken gebruik van inspirerende technieken en begrippen als welbevinden en compassie. De auteurs houden een pleidooi voor een verdere integratie van de Schematherapie en deze nieuwe, krachtgericht werkende stromingen. Hierdoor kan de Schematherapie nog effectiever zijn. De Gezonde Volwassene wordt daarbij- niet als modus maar als mens- een kracht in het omgaan met de complexe uitdagingen van het leven. Anne-Marie Claassen en Silvia Pol werken beiden reeds jaren met Schematherapie en hebben zich samen met collega's vanuit verschillende disciplines met name gericht op het beschrijven van de praktische toepassingen van positieve technieken in de (groeps-) schematherapie.

by Hannie van Genderen Remco van der Wijngaart

Dit boek helpt therapeuten om schematherapie toe te passen bij cliënten met afhankelijke, vermijdende of dwangmatige persoonlijkheidsstoornissen, ook wel cluster C-persoonlijkheidsstoornissen genoemd. Schematherapie is een zeer effectieve behandelmethode voor cluster C-stoornissen.

Dit boek laat zien hoe schematherapie effectief toepasbaar is bij internaliserende persoonlijkheidsproblematiek. Schematherapie voor cluster C-persoonlijkheidsstoornissen - Behandeling van afhankelijke, vermijdende en dwangmatige cliënten beschrijft hoe cluster C-stoornissen begrepen kunnen worden in termen van basisbehoeften, schema’s en modi. Daarnaast wordt ook beschreven hoe limited reparenting op een andere manier vormgegeven wordt in deze behandeling dan bij meer externaliserende problematiek. Ten slotte worden specifieke knelpunten, varianten en toepassingen van methoden en technieken beschreven die nog niet terug te vinden zijn in andere literatuur over schematherapie. Het boek begint met een beschrijving van onder meer geschiedenis en onderzoek. Daarna gaat het in op casusconceptualisatie en de stap van conceptualisatie naar behandeling. Vervolgens behandelt het de verschillende persoonlijkheidsstoornissen waarbij steeds beschreven wordt hoe methoden en technieken anders toegepast worden in de verschillende behandelfasen. Ten slotte gaat het in op methoden om de gezonde volwassene te versterken en de therapieresultaten in de toekomst te behouden. Het boek bevat veel aansprekende casuïstiek. De auteurs zijn psychotherapeut en gz-psycholoog Remco van der Wijngaart, en klinisch psycholoog Hannie van Genderen.

Schizo-Obsessive Disorder

by Michael Poyurovsky

This is the first book to address the clinical and neurobiological interface between schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). There is growing evidence that obsessive-compulsive symptoms in schizophrenia are prevalent, persistent and characterized by a distinct pattern of familial inheritance, neurocognitive deficits and brain activation. This text provides guidelines for differential diagnosis of schizophrenic patients with obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and patients with primary OCD alongside poor insight, psychotic features or schizotypal personality. Written by a leading expert in the coexistence of obsessive-compulsive and schizophrenic phenomena, Schizo-Obsessive Disorder uses numerous case studies to present diagnostic guidelines and to describe a recommended treatment algorithm, demystifying this complex disorder and aiding its effective management. The book is essential reading for psychiatrists, neurologists and the wider range of multidisciplinary mental health practitioners.

Schizoanalysis and Schizodrama: Clinic and Politics

by Domenico Uhng Hur

This book presents theoretical and methodological contributions to the development of mental health interventions that combine clinical and political approaches based on schizoanalysis and schizodrama. It seeks to make the transition from the philosophy of schizoanalysis to the applied field of intervention of a clinic-politics with strong inspiration from schizodrama. Created in the early 1970s by the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze in partnership with French psychoanalyst Félix Guattari, schizoanalysis is a philosophical approach that departs from the psychoanalytic inquiry of desire and affection as the main drivers of the processes of subjectivation to create a Philosophy of Difference that aims at mapping and contributing to the emergence of different forms of subjectivity not submitted to traditional forms of psychic and social coercion. Inspired by this innovative theoretical approach, the Argentinian psychiatrist Gregorio Baremblitt developed an original kind of schizoanalysis in Latin America called schizodrama, which aims at creating intervention devices, both clinical and political, to operationalize schizoanalysis&’ philosophical concepts. Building upon the contributions of schizodrama, this book seeks to contribute to operationalize the &“migration&” of schizoanalysis to the fields of psychology and social intervention. Schizoanalysis and Schizodrama: Clinic and Politics will be of interest to mental health professionals – such as psychologists, psychiatrists and clinical social workers – as well as to researchers in the human, social and health sciences interested in learning about this new theoretical field and its various modes of clinical-political intervention. This is a revised edition of a book originally published in Brazilian Portuguese. The original manuscript was written in Brazilian Portuguese and translated into English with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content.
