Download or read book A Mind of Her Own The Life of Karen Horney written by Susan Quinn and published by Plunkett Lake Press. This book was released on 2019-08-16 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Karen Horney (1885-1952) is one of the great figures in psychoanalysis, an independent thinker who dared to take issue with Freud's views on women. One of the first female medical students in Germany, and one of the first doctors in Berlin to undergo psychoanalytic training, she emigrated to the United States in 1932 and became a leading figure in American psychoanalysis. She wrote several important books, including Neurosis and Human Growth and Our Inner Conflicts. Horney was a brilliant psychologist of women, whose work anticipated current interest in the narcissistic personality. "An excellent book, sophisticated in its judgments, and with a candor that does justice to [Quinn's] courageous subject." — Phyllis Grosskurth, The New York Review of Books "A richly contexted, thoroughly informed, and admirably forthright account of Horney's development and contribution." — Justin Kaplan "Excellent, sympathetic but not adulatory, clear about the theories and factions... rich in anecdotes." — Rosemary Dinnage, The New York Times Book Review "The whole book is wonderfully balanced. A terrific achievement." — Anton O. Kris, Boston Psychoanalytic Institute

Book excerpt: Until recently underestimated in America, Melanie Klein was a leading figure in psychoanalytic circles from the 1920s until her death in 1960. Parent of object-relations theory, she saw the development of children, and of the female in particular, in a way that was both an extension of and a challenge to orthodox Freudian thinking. Now, drawing on a wealth of hitherto unexplored documents as well as extensive interviews with people who knew and worked with Klein, Phyllis Grosskurth has written a superb account of this important, complicated woman and her theories—theories that are still growing in influence both here and abroad. Melanie Klein was not only a highly original theorist and effective practitioner, but a thoroughly fascinating woman. This brilliant, definitive book on her life is a major contribution to psychoanalytic history.
Download or read book Melanie Klein written by Julia Kristeva and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2004-10-20 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To the renowned psychoanalyst, philosopher, and linguist Julia Kristeva, Melanie Klein (1882–1960) was the most original innovator, male or female, in the psychoanalytic arena. Klein pioneered psychoanalytic practice with children and made major contributions to our understanding of both psychosis and autism. Along the way, she successfully introduced a new approach to the theory of the unconscious without abandoning the principles set forth by Freud. In her first biography of a fellow psychoanalyst, the prolific Kristeva considers Klein's life and intellectual development, weaving a narrative that covers the history of psychoanalysis and illuminates Kristeva's own life and work. Kristeva tells the remarkable story of Klein's life: an unhappy wife and mother who underwent analysis, and—without a medical or other advanced degree—became an analyst herself at the age of 40. In examining her work, Kristeva proposes that Klein's "break" with Freud was really an attempt to complete his theory of the unconscious. Kristeva addresses Klein's numerous critics, and, in doing so, bridges the wide gulf between the clinical and theoretical worlds of psychoanalysis. Klein is celebrated here as the first person to see the mother as the source of not only creativity, but of thought itself, and the first to consider the place of matricide in psychic development. As such, Klein is a seminal figure in the evolution of the provocative ideas about motherhood and the psyche for which Kristeva is most famous. Klein is thus, in a sense, a mother to Kristeva, making this book an account of the development of Kristeva's own thought as well as Klein's.
Download or read book Lou Andreas Salom written by Dorian Astor and published by Gallimard Education. This book was released on 2008 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Romancière, essayiste, psychanalyste, Lou Andreas-Salomé (1861-1937) est avant tout un esprit libre. A vingt ans, elle fait le pari d'une amitié philosophique avec Nietzsche, et joue avec le feu de son amour. A trente, compagne de Rilke, elle le guide sur la voie de la création, et se dérobe à sa passion. A quarante, elle est accueillie par Freud comme sa disciple la plus intelligente, et lui fait accepter ses hérésies. Femme parmi les hommes, elle a rêvé d'un " monde de frères ", de mariage sans sexualité, de maternité sans procréation, d'inconscient sans pulsion de mort. Philosophie, poésie et psychanalyse ont été les instruments d'une seule grande affirmation : le lien indissoluble entre l'individu et la vie tout entière. Lou Andreas-Salomé n'aura eu qu'une obsession - qui est aussi le titre d'une de ses nouvelles : " le Retour au Tout ".
Download or read book Marie Bonaparte written by Jean-Pierre Bourgeron and published by Presses Universitaires de France - PUF. This book was released on 1997 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Etrange destin que celui de Marie Bonaparte. Descendante du frère de l'empereur Napoléon, princesse de Grèce et de Danemark, elle compta parmi les douze fondateurs de la Société psychanalytique de Paris créée en 1926 ; Sa vie fut intimement liée à l'histoire et au développement de la psychanalyse dans la France du " génie latin ". Analysée par Freud, elle en devint le porte-parole, sauva les manuscrits initiaux du créateur de la psychnalyse et veilla au respect des principes de sa découverte ; elle contribua par sa générosité à la diffusion des idées et à la création d'un enseignement de la psychanalyse. Ecrivain, épistolière, archiviste de sa propre histoire, son œuvre et les documents qu'elle a conservés sont une source irremplaçable pour comprendre l'histoire des idées en psychanalyse. Sa vision de la sexualité féminine radicalise à l'extrême certaines hypothèses de Freud, ses autres travaux, appliqués aux mythes ou à l'œuvre d'un écrivain comme Edgar Poe, nous montrent la passion des premiers psychanalystes attachés à découvrir l'inconscient. Son œuvre litéraire recèle les pages empreintes d'une grande sensibilité.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Melanie Klein, qui a passionnément nué sa vie à la psychanalyse, est l'un des génies fondateurs de la psychanalyse d'aujourd'hui et, incontestablement, celui qui a introcuit les modes de pensée les plus différents par rapport aux conceptions freudiennes, au point d'avoir soulevé des controverses extrêmement vives. Son apport à la pratique psychanalytique des enfants a été crucial et a dégagé celle-ci des présupposés pédagogiques qui avaient marqué ses prmiers débuts. C'est à partir de son activité d'analyste d'enfants qu'elle a élaboré les dthéories et les concepts originaux qui ont infléchi les modes de pensée de l'ensemble des psychanalystes, fussent-ils ses adversaires. Des notions comme l' " identification projective ", la " position dépressive " ou la " position schi-paranoïde " ont pris une place centrale dans la réflexion psychopathologique. Le succès considérable des conceptions de Melanie Klein s'est conrétisé par le développement dans la psychanalyse d'un courant " kleinien " qui tend, aujourd'hui, à devenir prépondérant sur le plan mondial.

Download or read book Marriage as a Fine Art written by Julia Kristeva and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2016-12-20 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We found so much to say, to share, to learn.... For it wasn't just the Marquis de Sade profile and the sporty thighs-and-calves that seduced me. It was even more, perhaps, or certainly just as much, the speed at which you used to read, and still do."—Julia Kristeva "We're married, Julia and I, that's a fact, but we each have our own personalities, our own name, activities, and freedom. Love is the full recognition of the other in their otherness. If this other is very close to you, as in this case, it seems to me that what's at stake is harmony within difference. The difference between men and women is irreducible; there's no possibility of fusion."—Philippe Sollers Marriage as a Fine Art is an enchanting series of exchanges in which Julia Kristeva and Philippe Sollers, married for fifty years, speak candidly about their love. Though they live separately, Kristeva and Sollers are fully committed to each other. Their bond is intellectual and psychological, passionate and mundane. They share everything when together, and lose themselves in their interests when apart. Their marriage is art, rich with history and meaning, idiosyncratic, and dynamic in its expression. Yet it is also as common as they come. Kristeva and Sollers have lived through the same challenges, peaks, and lulls as all married couples do. With humor and honesty, they elaborate on these moments, turning marriage's familiar aspects into exceptional examples of relating, struggling, transcending, and being. Marriage as a Fine Art is a rare chance to know these intellectuals—and marriage—more intimately.
