A comparison of psychoanalytic and psychodramatic theory

A comparison of psychoanalytic and psychodramatic theory from a psychodramatist’s perspective – Counselling Psychology Quarterly:

A comparison of psychoanalytic and psychodramatic theory from a psychodramatist’s perspective Abstract A comparison of Freud’s and Moreno’s theories with regard to their implications for psychodrama therapy. Basic differences in the theories are discussed with special regard to therapist role, transference and tele, insight and catharsis, the time concept, the body, and developmental psychology. Other topics treated are concepts of drive or energy, psychic structure and role theory, psychic determinism contra the doctrine of spontaneity-creativity and differences between an intrapsychic and an interpersonal approach. An outline of the relationship of psychodrama and its philosophy and practice to other schools of psychotherapy is given.

Finding the Thou in the I

Countertransference and parallel processes have become a newly appreciated facet of organizational research and consultation. These phenomena arise as the consultant and client relate and tend to complement or reflect dynamics that exist within the organization under study. In this article, the author provides an examination of countertransference and parallel processes, a historical review of their theoretical and methodological evolution, and an application to three cases according to an embedded intergroup relations perspective.

DSM – easier to see its biasses.

Labeling is problematic, some more than others.  The DSM leads to over medicalisation.

American Psychiatry Is Facing “Civil War” over Its Diagnostic Manual | Psychology Today:

“Given the embarrassing evidence in the New Scientist article, whose associated editorial is called “Time’s Up for Psychiatry’s Bible,” the timing of the APA announcement raises significant flags. As the New Scientist put it in a rider that appeared on its website yesterday, “Since [the] article was first posted [last week], the American Psychiatric Association has announced that the publication of DSM-V will be delayed until May 2013.”

“Undoubtedly, the most reckless suggestion for DSM-V is that it include many new categories to capture the milder subthreshold versions of the existing more severe official disorders. The . . . DSM-V Task Force has failed to adequately consider the potentially disastrous unintended consequence that DSM-V may flood the world with new false positives. . . . The result would be a wholesale imperial medicalization of normality that will trivialize mental disorder and lead to a deluge of unneeded medication treatments—a bonanza for the pharmaceutical industry but at a huge cost to the new false positive ‘patients’ caught in the excessively wide DSM-V net.”

Talk to Me: Robert Thurman By WNYC Culture | Fri, Oct 30, 2009 Lecture Podcast Folio163Thurman300x393 In this dialogue Tibetan scholar, Robert Thurman was paired with the psychoanalyst Jane Selinske. Professor Thurman turned out to be more interested in analyzing Jung than in analyzing himself, but Selinske was able to ferret a few confessions out of the sly and playful professor.

Red Book Dialogues – Charlie Kaufman

Charile Kaufman Bares His Unconscious – WNYC Culture

I’ve listened to it now, and thoroughly enjoyed this.

Charile Kaufman Bares His Unconscious Monday, November 30, 2009 * Email * Share * Print * Like This Filmmaker Charlie Kaufman and Jungian analyst John Beebe plumbed the depths of the writer’s famously complex mind during a Jungian chat last month at the Rubin Museum. [From The Red Book by C.G. Jung] From The Red Book by C.G. Jung (Rubin Museum)

 Kaufman and Beebe’s conversation was part of the museum’s Red Book Dialogues, which pairs analysts and artists in conversation about the godfather of the unconscious, Carl Jung. Kaufman interpreted an image of a person-shaped figure (pictured to the left), arched in pain or ecstasy, and outlined by a sea of blue wavy figures. Kaufman spent a lot of time arguing against imposing borders on life in general. The “notion of being protected from the outside world,” Kaufman said, is “false and ego driven.” They also explored Kaufman’s fear of running over someone while driving. “If I killed a bug, I could go on. If I [accidentally] killed a person, I don’t know how I could go on,” Kaufman said.

Alice Walker on Faith, Nature and Social Activism – WNYC Culture

I have not listened to it yet, but have the mp3 on my iPod.

Audio – Alice Walker

Alice Walker is known for her fierce, poetic writing and her politically charged ideas. She opened up to a Jungian analyst in front of a live audience at the Rubin Museum of Art, one of our partners in the Talk to Me series.

Walker and the Jungian analyst, Harry Fogarty took part in “The Red Book Dialogues,” a series of conversations devoted to an exploration of Carl Jung’s work. Both Walker and Fogarty were serene and thoughtful, fitting for a museum filled with Buddhist art. They talked about faith and politics, as well as the solace Walker finds in nature.
