She Was ... God’s Joyous Messenger
For as long as Kathy Schuster can remember, she’s wanted to be a mom. God fulfilled her dream as she and her husband raised their family of two daughters and two sons. The children meant the world to her, and nothing brought her more joy than witnessing their lives as they grew up. But Schuster’s life changed drastically when their oldest child was suddenly killed by a drunk driver. Nothing prepared her for the paralyzing devastation she felt as she grieved the loss of her daughter. In She Was ... God’s Joyous Messenger, Schuster shares her personal story of growing through grief and coming out on the other side as a whole person. She testifies to God carrying her through agonizing days and sleepless nights as she struggled to find hope, peace, and joy in her life again. She Was ... God’s Joyous Messenger offers unique but universal insight for those experiencing the heartache of loss, especially that of a child. She hopes her story will offer the encouragement and comfort a grieving parent needs as well as give understanding to those who find themselves as part of the support system to someone experiencing bereavement.
Contacting the Autistic Child
Amid long-standing controversy on their causes, which most regard as neurological, and despite their increasing social impact, there has been scant progress in the therapy of the autistic spectrum disorders. Currently fashionable attempts at treatment through behavioural-cognitive focal approaches do not seek resolution, only re-education and rehabilitation. Contacting the Autistic Child explores the clinical process in the early psychoanalytic treatment of autistic children. Organised around five detailed clinical case studies, and drawing on the ideas of major clinicians in child analysis such as Tustin, Winnicott and Alvarez, this book sets out a clear programme for working with and under...
Human Development
This new edition has been thoroughly revised and updated to incorporate new developments in the field. The authors discuss each of the crucial stages in human development through birth, adolescence, mid-life and old age to dying, grief and mourning.
The Contemporary Freudian Tradition
This is the first book dedicated to the Contemporary Freudian Tradition. In its introduction, and through its selection of papers, it describes the development and rich diversity of this tradition over recent decades, showing how theory and practice are inseparable in the psychoanalytic treatment of children, adolescents and adults. The book is organized around four major concerns in the Contemporary Freudian Tradition: the nature of the Unconscious and the ways that it manifests itself; the extension of Freud’s theories of development through the work of Anna Freud and later theorists; the body and psychosexuality, including the centrality of bodily experience as it is elaborated over tim...
Relational Trauma in Infancy
This book presents an interdisciplinary discussion between researchers and clinicians about trauma in the relationship between infants and their parents. It makes an innovative contribution to the field of infant mental health in bringing together previously separated paradigms of relational trauma from psychoanalysis, attachment and the neurosciences. With contributions from a range of experts, areas of discussion include: intergenerational transmission of relational trauma and earliest intervention the nature of the traumatising encounter between parent and infant the therapeutic possibilities of parent-infant psychotherapy in changing the trajectory of transmitted trauma training and supporting professionals working with traumatised parents and infants. Relational Trauma in Infancy will be of particular interest to trainee and qualified child and adult psychotherapists, clinical psychologists, child and adult psychiatrists, psychoanalysts, health care professionals and social workers.
The Soft Power of Culture
Psychoanalysis is a valuable tool to add to the sciences and the arts: all contain unconscious hidden depths that can become insight and understanding and contribute to humanity as culture. Using the prism of art, music, and storytelling, Jonathan Sklar takes psychoanalytic thought to a wide audience to enable a greater understanding of humanity.
The Winnicott Tradition
This book includes articles that describe how Winnicott's thinking facilitates the building of bridges between the internal and external realities, and, outside the boundaries of psychoanalysis as well as within it, between different schools of thought.
Beyond the Frustrated Self
This book foregrounds the life struggles of an individual, Brenda, in such a way that argument and theoretical exploration arise organically out of experience. The "frustration" of the title is traced to avoidant attachment - pretending not to need others. In Brenda this is associated with a body-energy pattern that is both over-charged and over-contained, generating a self-frustrating process. Such a repressive defence works against her, so that she experiences her life as dry, soulless, and uncreative. A variety of existential difficulties are traced to how such core developmental issues interact with our socio-cultural environment. A way forward is outlined: play and finding meaning are identified as transformational hubs that bring wellbeing into Brenda's life and restore her capacity for experiencing.
