    Greetings!

    Posted by jes, 4 years ago

    I studied Psychology and Psychoanalytic Theory at U of T, but ended up getting my BA in Visual Studies and Humanism (mostly because I could apply most of my credits into the Humanism program once the Psychoanalytic program moved to the Scarborough campus).

    I still read up on the subject and remain interested in the subject; however, I don't follow any single theory or "camp". I see Freud as a mad genius and Jung as the voice of rational spiritualism.

    Most everyone who's contributed to the subject is worth reading and considering when developing ones own practice and theories (at least that's my opinion).

    I'm attaching a few of the titles that have influenced me. I'd love to learn more about what others find powerful and compelling.

    One that I couldn't find on this site is:
    Title: Psychoanalysis At Its Limits
    Published: 1st January 1999
    ISBN: 1 85343 465 5

    Has psychoanalysis become 'postmodern'? What role does psychoanalysis have to play in the cultural debate in postmodern times? In what ways are the various competing schools of psychoanalysis being altered by postmodernism?

    Psychoanalysis at its Limits presents a history and critique of the concept of postmodernism throughout contemporary psychoanalytic thought. As such it is a critical survey of the complex relations between desire, selfhood and culture.

    The book brings together some of the most influential and best known writers on psychoanalysis and psychoanalytically informed cultural criticism to develop a novel rethinking of the relations between psychoanalysis and postmodernism, sexual difference and subjectivity, and the postmodern reconceptualization of unconscious desire in contemporary psychoanalysis. Contributors include Jessica Benjamin, Jane Flax, Stephen Frosh, Thomas Ogden, Stephen Mitchell, Karen Peoples, and Mark Bracher.

    Psychoanalysis at its Limits offers a stimulating account of the complex and contradictory nature of psychanalysis in the postmodern age.

    Edited by: Anthony Elliot and Charles Spezzano

    Your favourite books by Jungians?

    Posted by Tammy, 4 years ago

    Clearly, any Jungian will enjoy reading the Collected Works. But let's admit that Jung can be, at times, just a tiny bit elusive with his arguments that zig-zag and circle around his points. So, I'd like to devote this group to books that are related to Jungian psychology, perhaps by Jungian Analysts, rather than the obvious works that Jung authored himself.

    I am currently re-reading Marion Woodman's "The Pregnant Virgin: A Process of Psychological Transformation." It's a fabulous book all about the psyche/soma connection. Although it was written quite a while ago now, the content still speaks to me on a very deep, personal level. Even if our generation seems to be more "enlightened" with regards to the need (or necessity!) to accept and love our bodies, I'm not sure we all know how to transform that knowing into experience. Marion Woodman writes both as an Analyst and from personal experience in her exploration of psyche and soma consciousness.
