Therapy Treatment

The Brief Psychoanalytic Therapy Treatment Manual is presented. This summarizes the rationale and principles of treatment—in part, distilling and organizing themes that had been introduced in Chapter 1—and then devotes attention to characterizing a particular style of attending to and interpreting the transference. In a final section of the chapter, the very beginning of the assessment consultation from Chapter 3 is revisited, in order to review how the therapeutic orientation and techniques described in the Manual can be identified in clinical material. In a manner that will be developed in subsequent chapters, therefore, principles are exemplified in clinical practice.

Verbal Exchanges

An Adherence Manual for Brief Psychoanalytic Therapy is presented. This Manual details how principles of treatment are embodied in the to and fro of patient–therapist verbal exchanges. There are 17 principles in the Manual, and for each of these principles, illustrative styles of intervention are presented. In addition, specific examples of therapist interventions are drawn from recordings of sessions. One function of the Adherence Manual is to allow for the assessment of the delivery of treatment, for research purposes (as described in a later chapter); another is to ground abstract technical guidelines in the down-to-earth minutiae of clinical practice.

In Uruguay, Lacanian ideas arrived in the 1960s, into a context of Kleinian hegemony. Adopting a discursive approach, this study researched the initial reception of these ideas and its effects on clinical practices. We gathered a corpus of discursive data from clinical cases and theoretical-doctrinal articles (from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s). In order to examine the effects of Lacanian ideas, we analysed the difference in the way of interpreting the clinical material before and after Lacan's reception. The results of this research illuminate some epistemological problems of psychoanalysis, especially the relationship between theory and clinical practice.

ABSTRACTThis paper explores links between the theatrical aspect of the Dionysian archetype and Analytical Psychology. It looks at some of the Dionysian elements in Jung’s published work and follows up with a brief exploration into how some of the potentially generative aspects of the archetype continue to be suspect in current clinical practice. Plutarch’s historic anecdote about the first actor, Thespis, and his dialogue with the Athenian Magistrate, Solon, will provide a focus with which to explore Dionysian elements within the Individuation process. A final section includes a short case history illustrating Dionysian elements unfolding in the theater of Jungian analysis.

Distinct Unit

Chapters 1–2 form a distinct unit (Part I), establishing several foundations for the arguments in the remaining chapters. Chapter 1 focuses on rhetorical economy, introducing the concept and previous research on Augustine’s incorporation of it into an area which intersects naturally with ideas from literary and rhetorical theory—his scriptural hermeneutic. The final section of this chapter then demonstrates that Augustine utilizes rhetorical economy in his scriptural hermeneutic as early as AD 387–8. Chapter 1 thus establishes that Augustine: (1) utilizes rhetorical economy in his work as a Christian; and (2) does this quite soon after his conversion to Christianity.

History Of

The purpose of this chapter is to introduce Brief Psychoanalytic Therapy through the case history of a woman who presented with fatigue and a variety of medical ailments. Descriptions are given of the initial assessment consultation and then the course of 16 sessions of Brief Psychoanalytic Therapy. The clinical material represented illustrates both the therapist’s orientation and style of intervention, and the patient’s step-by-step development in the direction of more open, trusting, and fulfilling attitudes toward other people and the possibilities of life. The nature as well as the influence of the therapist’s focus on the transference and countertransference receive special attention.

Old Age Psychiatry

This chapter starts by reviewing four of the main ethical theories – consequentialism, deontology, principlism, and virtue ethics – looking at their relevance to old age psychiatry. Next comes a practical framework, which can be used to deal with particular ethical dilemmas. The chapter goes on to consider the report on dementia produced by the Nuffield Council on Bioethics in 2009, with its emphasis on the importance of personhood and solidarity. In the final section arguments around assisted dying are discussed. Throughout the chapter the aim is to locate clinical practice in the broader field of ethical concerns, in which the person’s inter-relatedness with the broader social context is emphasized. Clinical decisions need to be seen as ethical decisions, which are either right or wrong, and which reflect the fundamental nature of ethical reasoning.

Chapter 1 explores Livy’s early reception and translation in Renaissance Europe, examining the first, key decades in which the history reached a wider audience through its publication on the continent. The chapter first examines the literary fame enjoyed by Livy in Europe towards the end of the fifteenth century as well as the attempts of his earliest editors in print to impose some kind of critical order onto this monolithic work. The focus then moves to the first vernacular translations of Livy to have appeared in Europe, including the first renderings of the history into French and Italian. The final section considers the various translation styles at work in early-modern England and how these manifest themselves in each of the sixteenth-century translations of Livy.

Chapter 1 makes a defense of representative democracy even as it acknowledges long-standing and contemporary feminist criticism and surveys the appeal of more fashionable non-representative alternatives. As part of this, the authors consider the failure of political parties to “do good by women.” Adopting a problem-based approach, they remake the case for women’s group representation, reviewing the 1990s politics-of-presence literature in light of criticism based on women’s ideological and intersectional differences. Instead of regarding this as undermining the possibility of women’s group representation, the authors hold that these differences should become central to its successful realization. A second observation is the tendency of gender and politics scholars to disaggregate the concept of representation. Eschewing this approach, they instead hold that political representation is better understood as indivisible: a mélange of its many, overlapping, and connected dimensions. The final section of Chapter 1 introduces the structure and component parts of the book’s argument, introducing the reader to the “affected representatives of women,” and the authors’ twin augmentations, group advocacy and account giving.
