Love In A Time Of Hate: Liberation Psychology In Latin America

Published in 1997, this groundbreaking work locates the intersection of psychoanalysis, Marxism, and twentieth century social upheaval in South America, and provides an all-too-rare study of the role of psychoanalysis in understanding and overcoming social trauma. Nancy Caro Hollander profiles ten Argentine, Chilean, and Uruguayan psychologists and psychoanalysts who experienced firsthand, and later strove to comprehend, the political and social oppression that occurred under the military dictatorships in their countries during the 1970s and 1980s. In clear, vivid prose, she recounts how psychoanalysts employed what she calls "liberation psychology" to understand the brutal trauma suffered by the populace under fiercely repressive regimes and then to help themselves and others to confront and overcome a culture of intimidation, coercion, torture, and, frequently, murder.

Talking With Poets is a collection of interviews with Robert Pinsky, Seamus Heaney, Philip Levine, Michael Hofmann, and David Ferry. All of the interviews were conducted by students in "The Art of Poetry," a course that Harry Thomas taught for several years. The students' depth of knowledge and keenness of insight into the poets' work is an affirmation of American education. The poets respond to the students with a frankness and feeling of fraternity that mounts at times to a sort of communion. The poets take up a great range of matters in the interviews - the nature of artistic creation, the varieties and difficulties of poetic translation, poetry and politics, religion, popular culture, the contemporary readership for poetry, and the experience of living as a poet in a country not your own. They speak with passionate knowledge of a number of writers, including Eliot, Joyce, Rilke, Brodsky, Pound, Ovid, Dante, Ralegh, Wordsworth, Keats, Mandelstam, and Wilde. One of the delights of reading these interviews is to observe the poets responding to the same matter - for instance, Seamus Heaney speaking of Robert Pinsky's translation of Czeslaw Milosz's great poem, "The World," and Robert Pinsky speaking at length of Seamus Heaney's essay, in his book The Government of the Tongue, on Pinsky's translation. This is an intimate look into the minds of five of our most celebrated contemporary poets, and an invigorating meditation on some of our most human concerns.

Few paintings have been as extensively analyzed as Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, and yet, according to Wayne Andersen’s radical new interpretation of the painting, it has been repeatedly misrepresented and misunderstood by biographical novelizing and reductive psychoanalysis. Andersen seeks to rescue the painting from the myths that obscure its origins, which depict it variously as an outburst of rage against his live-in lover, or as an act of vengeance for Picasso’s having contracted syphilis from a prostitute; such myths are the source of the artist’s reputation for misogyny. Looking back to the original sources of these stories, Andersen identifies a catalog of errors, passed from one author to another, which have distorted our view of Picasso.By studying X-rays of the finished canvas, Andersen reconstructs a “lost” version of Les Demoiselles, a first completion prior to the artist’s “epiphany” at a display of African masks that inspired him to rework the painting. By refuting the scholarly assumption that the grotesquely painted heads of three of the figures are integral to Picasso’s first conception, he shows that the original composition provides no evidence of Picasso’s alleged horror of women.Supported by 200 illustrations, including 12 color plates, ranging from Picasso’s drawings and paintings to contemporary pornography and photographs of prostitutes in brothels, Andersen’s provocative arguments establish Picasso as a man who wrested sexuality from the aesthetics of art, and created a new and revolutionary way of seeing for the 20th Century.Written in clear, accessible prose, this book will spark another round of Picasso scholarship, and appeal to the general reader, the art historian, and the psychoanalyst alike.WAYNE ANDERSEN is Professor Emeritus, History, Theory, and Criticism of Art and Architecture, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is the author of seven books, including Gauguin’s Paradise Lost, named a New York Times “Book of the Times”, and Freud, Leonardo da Vinci and the Vulture’s Tail (Other Press, 2000). He has lectured at several universities and art museums across the United States and abroad, and he has published essays and reviews on subjects ranging from Italian Renaissance to 20th-Century art.Critical Acclaim for Wayne Andersen's Freud, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Vulture’s Tail“Wayne Andersen is an infectious writer and an infectious thinker. His book on Leonardo and Freud has all the ingredients that make for an excellent read, where one learns as much about Freud as about Leonardo, and about Andersen himself in the bargain.” —James Beck, Professor of Art History, Columbia University“The most fascinating autobiographical experiment that I have read since Erik Erikson’s Young Man Luther.” —Thomas Rosenthal“A brilliantly complex and audacious book. One could not expect the amount of truth that Andersen brings forth.” —Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times

Verses of Forgiveness, the story of a Palestinian suicide bomber awaiting his hour of death, opens with the proclamation, "I am a terrorist, a dreamer." While Ahmed prepares an attack on the heart of Israel, the mother he never knew finds him languishing in a brothel. She reveals that his father was a Jew who survived the Holocaust and fled to the Promised Land. There he joined the Zionist terrorist group, Irgun. At the moment of the conception of the state of Israel, Ahmed's Jewish father and Christian mother consummated their love. Ahmed tells his father's story and we revisit with him day by day, smell by smell, through the early stages of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and the fundamental absurdity of a war built on ashes and political mistakes. Through her use of poetic language, Myriam Antaki makes beauty the ambassador of unnecessary violence and hatred.

The book is not merely about the therapeutic action of psychoanalysis; it is an enactment of conceptual therapy. It is written as an invitation to clinicians - psychologists, psychoanalysts, psychiatrists - to renew their own engagement with the fundamental concepts of their practice. To that end, the book investigates the concepts of subjectivity and objectivity that are appropriate for psychoanalysts, the concept of internalization and of transference. There is also an extended discussion of the theories of Hans Loewald and Paul Gray - and how they do and do not fit together. The very idea that love, or Eros, could be a drive - as Freud postulated - is given a new interpretation.Therapeutic Action will be of interest to anyone concerned with the central concepts of psychoanalysis. And, indeed, to anyone interested in how conversation can bring about fundamental psychic change.

Therapeutic Action: An Earnest Plea for Irony

Lear, Jonathan

In April of 2008, Professor Paul Vines commits suicide in his apartment in Berlin. This moment is the culmination of the curiously interwoven stories of three characters: one a criminal psychologist working at Guantanamo Detention Camp Delta, one an FBI agent with a disturbingly familiar detainee locked in an isolation holding cell in JFK airport, and Vines himself, a Georgetown University literature professor working at the American Academy, Berlin. We watch Vines struggle to teach literature to a seminar of bemused German university students, as he is consumed by mistakes made in his past. Bound by guilt to his ex-wife and estranged son, Vines drifts through his life in Berlin and seeks comfort in an affair with an enchanting, though married, student. In Guantanamo, Cuba, Dr. Laura Ivins assists in the humiliating interrogation of a U.S. citizen (a Hispanic ex-felon and erstwhile Muslim convert) who has been declared, on the slimmest of evidence, an "illegal enemy combatant." Her willingness to participate in this assignment sends her into a slow crisis of conscience that she is determined to stave off long enough to reap the fruits of collaboration, the true banality of evil. Meanwhile, at JFK airport, U.S. government agent Michael James Dougherty is assigned to investigate a detained tourist - a 57-year old former U.S. citizen turned Swedish national. Through a swift chain of errors-on-the-side-of-caution prompted by Patriot Act procedures, the detainee's questioning quickly snowballs into an incarceration where the man finds himself handcuffed and shackled in an isolation cell, and Michael James is his only link to sanity.
