Psychoanalysis and Film Methodical Approaches to Latent Meaning


Free Download Psychoanalysis and Film: Methodical Approaches to Latent Meaning
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3662689820 | 60 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 0.5 MB
This essential is dedicated to the connection between psychoanalysis and film. Psychoanalysis is suitable for a methodically guided film viewing. This is not an application of psychoanalytical theory, but rather an application of its method of a reflected relationship to a counterpart. In this way, latent meanings can be taken into consideration and an interpretation can be developed. This essential reconstructs the possibilities of such an approach and presents existing approaches. Finally, a guideline for carrying out a film psychoanalytical interpretation is proposed. Numerous film examples serve to illustrate this.

Psychoanalysis and Deconstruction: Freud’s Psychic Apparatus demonstrates the relevance of deconstructive thinking for the clinical practice of psychoanalysis.

Psychoanalysis The First Ten Years 1888-1898


Free Download Psychoanalysis: The First Ten Years 1888-1898 By Walter A. Stewart
2013 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 0415725755 | PDF | 10 MB
First published in 1969, this was a new assessment of Freud’s most creative years and the formative period in psychoanalysis and was the first book to attempt a systematic presentation of Freud’s early ideas, relating them to his later work and to contemporary psychoanalysis. During the years 1888-1898 Freud published 15 papers and one book. In addition many of his ideas were formulated in a series of letters and drafts that he wrote to Dr Wilhelm Fliess. This material provided new insights into the nature of Freud’s creative genius and gave new meaning to his published works. Psychoanalysis: The First Ten Years reviews these early papers, drafts and letters, and describes tentative formulations that, in spite of their value, were not developed further because of lack of time or a shift in interest. As Dr Stewart observes, ‘the study of this aspect of Freud’s work is perhaps the most exciting. Freud’s creativity in these years was remarkable. The ideas he discarded in this short period of time would, for a less gifted person, have been a full life’s work of which he could have been proud.’ There is a good deal of historical and literary interest in his account of Freud’s relationships with Fliess, Breuer and others, but the core of the book is the critical assessment and systematic presentation of Freud’s early major insights, which dramatically reveal a creative genius in the process of discovery.

Dancing with the unconscious the art of psychoanalysis and the psychoanalysis of art


Free Download Dancing with the unconscious : the art of psychoanalysis and the psychoanalysis of art By Knafo, Danielle
2012 | 243 Pages | ISBN: 0415881005 | EPUB | 5 MB
In writing and lecturing over the past two decades on the relationship between psychoanalysis and art, Danielle Knafo has demonstrated the many ways in which these two disciplines inform and illuminate each other. This book continues that discussion, emphasizing how the creative process in psychoanalysis and art utilizes the unconscious in a quest for transformation and healing. Part one of the book presents case studies to show how free association, transference, dream work, regression, altered states of consciousness, trauma, and solitude function as creative tools for analyst, patient, and artist. Knafo uses the metaphor of dance to describe therapeutic action, the back-and-forth movement between therapist and patient, past and present, containment and release, and conscious and unconscious thought. The analytic couple is both artist and medium, and the dance they do together is a dynamic representation of the boundless creativity of the unconscious mind. Part two of the book offers in-depth studies of several artists to illustrate how they employ various mediafor self-expression and self-creation. Knafo shows how artists, though mostly creating in solitude, are frequently engaged in significant relational proceses that attemptrapprochement with internalized objects and repair of psychic injury. Dancing with theUnconscious expands the theoretical dimension of psychoanalysis while offering the clinician ways to realize greater creativity in work with patients.
