Aaron Balick Relational psychotherapist Aaron Balick, and executive member of IARPP UK published a children's book this spring aimed at 11 - 15 year olds entitled Keep Your Cool: How to Deal with Life's Worries and Stress. It is an illustrated "self help" book for young people that offers strategies to apply at home, school, with families, and with technology. The book draws on a variety of psychotherapeutic traditions in ways that can be tested out and understood by this age group; it is full of exercises that children can do on their own, or with their parents and friends. Covering everything from self knowledge, to bullying, gender and sexuality, and the separation or death of a parent, it is a veritable (if short and accessible) compendium of psychological and emotional skills for life. http://www.hachettechildrens.co.uk/Books/detail.page?isbn=9781445115092

Gil Cole A swashbuckling adventure of lust, learning, and love. Escaping the religious hysteria of Renaissance Florence, young Antonio leaves his family and fate behind to find a better life. Misfortune, betrayals, friendships, and favors toss him around the Mediterranean as he makes his way as a pirate, an itinerant actor, and a fugitive before becoming a notable merchant of Venice. Inspired by Shakespeare, author Gil Cole reimagines Antonio as someone different of his time–a man who openly desires the love of another man. Praise for Fortune's Bastard "Hold onto your codpiece – Shakespeare has never been hotter. Gil Cole?s lusty yet literate Fortune?s Bastard is a thrilling, imaginative, and above all romantic homage to the great bard." Wayne Hoffman, author of Sweet Like Sugar and Hard. "Fortune's Bastard is a thrilling tale of manly virtues tested-love, loyalty, honor and physical courage– and manly desires given their fullest and freest expression. Gil Cole?s adventure is epic, operatic, and Shakespearean. He writes with complete confidence (another manly virtue!) as he rolls out a grand pageant of heroism and love on the fifteenth century Mediterranean. On every page I found fresh surprises that kept my pulse racing" David Pratt, author of Bob the Book and My Movie. Gil Cole graduated from The Julliard School and acted in several plays of Shakespeare, as well as in many classic and contemporary plays. He currently resides in New York City where he works as a psychoanalyst. Chelsea Station Editions, 362 West 36th Street #2R, NY, NY 10018 httP;//www.chelseastationeditions.com |

Barry Magid Publication of a new book: Release of an audio book: Advanced comments about Nothing is Hidden: Sparkling and clear. "Zen teacher and psychoanalyst Barry Magid is a distinctive voice in the burgeoning literature fusing Buddhism with Western psychotherapy. Equally at home in both traditions, he speaks with penetrating wisdom that cuts through the various forms of self-delusion that emerge along path of personal growth. This collection of short essays on well known koans has a direct, simple and uncontrived quality to it that points the reader in the right direction with the same elegance as a timeless haiku. There is not a false note here." "This is no mere psychologization of koan practice. Rather, Magid seeks to provide a glimpse into the mind of the koan by exposing and addressing the psychological issues that impede our view. Very revealing." "Magid's inspiring book, Nothing is Hidden, is a warmly human and truly original guide to Zen practice which authenticates koan Zen in Western words and lifestyle. Rather than imitating an ancient Asian tradition, the book uses modern psychological insight to illuminate such mysteries as brilliant spiritual teachers who go astray, koans that perplex and our own desire to run away from suffering. This book will make your spiritual practice more intimate, more playful and more rewarding."

Daniel Shaw The chapter I have contributed is entitled Intimacy and Ambivalence. By recognizing the ubiquity of ambivalence about intimacy and understanding the sources, functions and impacts of this ambivalence, therapeutic clinical work can help individuals and couples illuminate the choices, conscious and unconscious, that we make in seeking to fulfill intimacy needs. http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9780415626903/ Traumatic Narcissism: Relational Systems of Subjugation In this volume, Daniel Shaw presents a way of understanding the traumatic impact of narcissism as it is engendered developmentally, and as it is enacted relationally. Focusing on the dynamics of narcissism in interpersonal relations, Shaw describes the relational system of what he terms the 'traumatizing narcissist' as a system of subjugation the objectification of one person in a relationship as the means of enforcing the dominance of the subjectivity of the other. Daniel Shaw illustrates the workings of this relational system of subjugation in a variety of contexts: theorizing traumatic narcissism as an intergenerationally transmitted relational/developmental trauma, providing clinical vignettes illustrating the analyst's experience of working with the adult children of traumatizing narcissists. He explores the relationship of cult leaders and their followers, and examines how traumatic narcissism has lingered vestigially in some aspects of the psychoanalytic profession. Bringing together theories of trauma and attachment, intersubjectivity and complementarity, and the rich clinical sensibility of the Relational Psychoanalysis tradition, Shaw demonstrates how narcissism can best be understood not merely as character, but as the result of the specific trauma of subjugation, in which one person is required to become the object for a significant other who demands hegemonic subjectivity. This book presents therapeutic clinical opportunities not only for psychoanalysts of different schools, but for all mental health professionals working with a wide variety of modalities. Daniel Shaw, LCSW is a psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapist in private practice in New York City, and in Nyack, New York. He is a training analyst, teacher and supervisor of analytic candidates at the National Institute for the Psychotherapies in New York City. |

Frank Summers Psychoanalytic therapy is distinguished by its immersion in the world of the experiencing subject. In The Psychoanalytic Vision, Frank Summers argues that analytic therapy and its unique epistemology is a worldview that stands in clear opposition to the hegemonic cultural value system of objectification, quantification, and materialism. The Psychoanalytic Vision situates psychoanalysis as a voice of the rebel, affirming the importance of the subjective in contrast to the culture of objectification. Founded on phenomenological philosophy from which it derives its unique epistemology and ethical grounding, psychoanalytic therapy as a hermeneutic of the experiential world has no role for reified concepts. Consequently, fundamental analytic concepts such as"the unconscious" and "the intrapsychic," are reconceptualized to eliminate reifying elements. The essence of The Psychoanalytic Vision is the freshness of its theoretical and clinical approach as a hermeneutic of the experiential world. Fundamental clinical phenomena, such as dreams, time, and the experience of the other, are reformulated, and these theoretical shifts are illustrated with a variety of vivid case descriptions. The last part of the book is devoted to the surreptitious role beliefs and values of contemporary culture play in many forms of psychopathology. For clinicians, The Psychoanalytic Vision offers a fresh clinical theory based on the consistent application of the subjectification of human experience, and for scholars, a worldview that provides the framework for a potentially fruitful cross-fertilization of ideas with cognate disciplines.
