The Skin-Ego: A New Translation by Naomi Segal (The History of Psychoanalysis Series)
by Didier AnzieuIn this classic work, the author presents and develops his theory of the importance of 'the Skin-ego'. Just as the skin is wrapped around the body, so the author sees the 'Skin-ego' as a psychical wrapping containing, defining and consolidating the subject. From this perspective, the structure and functions of the skin can provide psychoanalysts and general readers with a fertile and practical metaphor. The author's concept of the Skin-ego is the answer to questions he regards as crucial to contemporary psychoanalysis: questions of topography which were left incomplete by Freud; the analysis of fantasies of the container as of the contained; issues of touch between mothers and babies; extending the concept of prohibitions within an Oedipal framework to those derived from a prohibition on touching; and questions pertaining to the representation of the body and to its psychoanalytic setting. This new translation of Le Moi-peau is based on the second and last (1995) edition.

Skin Game
by Caroline Kettlewell"There was a very fine, an elegant pain, hardly a pain at all, like the swift and fleeting burn of a drop of hot candle wax . . . Then the blood welled up and began to distort the pure, stark edges of my delicately wrought wound. "The chaos in my head spun itself into a silk of silence. I had distilled myself to the immediacy of hand, blade, blood, flesh." <P><P> There are an estimated two to three million "cutters" in America, but experts warn that, as with anorexia, this could be just the tip of the iceberg of those affected by this little-known disorder. Cutting has only just begun to enter public consciousness as a dangerous affliction that tends to take hold of adolescent girls and can last, hidden and untreated, well into adulthood. <P><P>Caroline Kettlewell is an intelligent woman with a promising career and a family. She is also a former cutter, and the first person to tell her own story about living with and overcoming the disorder. She grew up on the campus of a boys' boarding school where her father taught. <P><P> As she entered adolescence, the combination of a family where frank discussion was avoided and life in what seemed like a fishbowl, where she and her sister were practically the only girls the students ever saw, became unbearable for Caroline. She discovered that the only way to find relief from overpowering feelings of self-consciousness, discomfort, and alienation was to physically hurt herself. She began cutting her arms and legs in seventh grade, and continued into her twenties. <P><P>Why would a rational person resort to such extreme measures? How did she recognize and overcome her problem? In a memoir startling for its honesty, humor, and poignancy, Caroline Kettlewell offers a clear-eyed account of her own struggle to survive this debilitating affliction.
Skin in Psychoanalysis
by Jorge UlnikSkin in Psychoanalysis is an important theoretical contribution, revising several authors starting with Freud in whose writing we can now discover multiple direct or indirect references to the skin. It adopts a decidedly complex point of view regarding the skin here: the skin as source, the skin as object, the skin as protection and as a way of entrance, as contact and as contagion, the skin 'for two' within the relationship with the mother, the skin as envelope and as support, as a shell presented as 'second skin', as demarcation of individuality, as a place of inscription of non-verbal memories, toxic envelops and so on. Also, being the result of more than fifteen years of work with dermatologists and patients with skin diseases, psoriasis in particular, the book can be seen as a serious proposal for interdisciplinary work between dermatologists and psychoanalysts.'The hospital is a place where both tragedies and miracles occur, where many people go to heal but many others go in search for punishment.

Slaaptraining voor jongeren op basis van CGT en motiverende gespreksvoering: Mijn Slaap Plan (Kind en adolescent praktijkreeks)
by Marije Kuin Bianca BoyerIn dit boek wordt het protocol Slaaptraining voor jongeren uitgelegd. Het protocol is gebaseerd op cognitieve gedragstherapie (CGT) en motiverende gespreksvoering. Het boek is bedoeld voor hulpverleners die jongeren (12-19 jaar) behandelen met slaapproblemen, ook als er daarnaast sprake is van andere psychische problematiek. Slaapproblemen hebben invloed op het dagelijkse functioneren en kunnen psychische problemen veroorzaken of verergeren. Daarnaast kunnen slaapproblemen een belemmering zijn voor de behandeling en het herstel van andere psychische problemen. In Slaaptraining voor jongeren op basis van CGT en motiverende gespreksvoering geven de auteurs aan dat veel jongeren graag beter zouden willen slapen, maar het toch moeilijk vinden om hun slaapgedrag aan te passen. Daarom is motiverende gespreksvoering een belangrijk onderdeel van het protocol; om hun motivatie voor verandering te onderzoeken en - waar mogelijk - te vergroten. Jongeren kunnen tijdens de behandeling samen met hun hulpverlener aan de slag met het bijbehorende werkboek Mijn Slaap Plan.Slaaptraining voor jongeren op basis van CGT en motiverende gespreksvoering is geschreven door Marije Kuin en Bianca Boyer. Marije is GZ-psycholoog en cognitief gedragstherapeut bij Psychologenpraktijk Kuin, Bianca is GZ-psycholoog en cognitief gedragstherapeut bij Psychologenpraktijk Kuin en docent/onderzoeker bij de Universiteit van Amsterdam.
Slam School: Learning Through Conflict in the Hip-hop and Spoken Word Classroom
by Bronwen E. LowIn this study, Low (education, McGill U. , Canada) relates how a white teacher implemented the study of hip-hop and spoken word culture into urban high school language arts classes, which she co-taught and helped develop the curriculum for. She analyzes the dynamics of teaching and learning in these classes to argue that the reasons that teachers and administrators resist introducing hip-hop into curriculum--its complex issues of gender, violence, sexuality, materialism, race, and language--are what make it important pedagogically. She focuses on African American youth in interaction with white youth, teachers, and administrators, describing the student's exploration of poetry performance and writing and their experiences with the language of the hip-hop culture.
