Book Synopsis Transference and Transcendence by : Daniel Liechty
Download or read book Transference and Transcendence written by Daniel Liechty and published by Jason Aronson. This book was released on 1995 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on an expanded view of transference dynamics in which human beings seek to draw power for living from external objects, Becker's work posits that people have this kind of relationship to God as well. His ideas concur with the Psalmist's: the human heart longs for completion in a true and living God. Becker's social scientific point of view does not attempt to prove this God's actual existence. Rather, it demonstrates that the "God" of everyday life is a projection of the power of social institutions.

Book Synopsis "Transcendence" and "Transference" by : Anthony O'Connell
Download or read book "Transcendence" and "Transference" written by Anthony O'Connell and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Members of religious communities live in a world that acknowledges end focuses on the reality of God. The individuals who people these institutions talk, teach, and preach about religion . Many come to them for advice, for comfort, counseling, and consolation. The members are persons who aspire to the transcendent. At the same time, they share the burdens and problems of the rest of humanity. That is, they, too, must deal with the psychopathology of everyday life - to borrow from Freud. They, too, must cope with issues that respond better to a transference interpretation rather than to a transcendent one. Thus, in the context of the study, the author uses "transcendence" and "transference" as metaphors to describe the conflict that occurs in the religious community coping with a psychological problem in one of its members. The religious community has aspects of a family, an organization, and a small group. At the same time it has its own history and reality as a distinct way of life. To understand the community from a psychological point of view necessitates an examination of the ways families, organizations, and small groups cope with the symptomatic person, as well as a look at religious living in itself. The review of the literature analyzes the ways that family, organization, and small group theory contribute to the understanding of religious community. The author looks at the conflic t between "transcendence" and "transference" in the context of a male religious community with an identified Patient (IP) who was morbidly obese. He weighed 400 pounds at the beginning of treatment. A case study approach, using multiple measures, was the method used to examine the community. The author observed the community in meetings with the IP, did a structured interview with each member, and asked each one to fill out a climate assessment questionnaire and to tell a story to three Thematic Apperception Cards. The analysis of the data indicates that dysfunctional religious communities behave in ways similar to dysfunctional families, organizations, and groups. Further, as in the family, one best treats the individual by a systemic, rather than an individual approach. The analysis also highlights the difficulties that ensue when "transcendence" and "transference" issues remain unclarified.
Book Synopsis The Transcendent Function by : Jeffrey C. Miller
Download or read book The Transcendent Function written by Jeffrey C. Miller and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transcendent function is the core of Carl Jung's theory of psychological growth and the heart of what he called individuation, the process by which one is guided in a teleological way toward the person one is meant to be. This book thoroughly reviews the transcendent function, analyzing both the 1958 version of the seminal essay that bears its name and the original version written in 1916. It also provides a word-by-word comparison of the two, along with every reference Jung made to the transcendent function in his written works, his letters, and his public seminars.
Book Synopsis Transference and Countertransference by : Jean Arundale
Download or read book Transference and Countertransference written by Jean Arundale and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since Freud's initial papers on transference and countertransference, these vast and inexhaustible subjects have occupied psychoanalysts. Transference and countertransference, the essence of the patient/analyst relationship, are concepts so central to pschoanalysis that, to our minds, they transcend theoretical orientation and, thus, can be seen as a unifying focus of psychoanalysis. However differently theoretical traditions conceptualize the transference, or disagree as to when and how to interpret it in our everyday analytic work, we all embrace the phenomenon as vital to psychic change.
Book Synopsis Transcending the Self by : Frank Summers
Download or read book Transcending the Self written by Frank Summers and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-12 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the popularity of object relations theories, these theories are often abstract, with the relation between theory and clinical technique left vague and unclear. Now, in Transcending the Self: An Object Relations Model of Psychoanalytic Therapy, Summers answers the need for an integrative object relations model that can be understood and applied by the clinician in the daily conduct of psychoanalytic therapy. Drawing on recent infancy research, developmental psychology, and the works of major theorists, including Bollas, Benjamin, Fairbairn, Guntrip, Kohut, and Winnicott, Summers melds diverse object-relational contributions into a coherent viewpoint with broad clinical applications. The object relations model emerges as a distinct amalgam of interpersonal/relational and interpretive perspectives. It is a model that can help patients undertake the most gratifying and treacherous of personality journeys: that aiming at the transcendence of the childhood self. Self-transcendence, in Summers' sense, means moving beyond the profound limitations of early life via the therapeutically mediated creation of a newly meaningful and authentic sense of self. Following two chapters that present the empirical and theoretical basis of the model, he launches into clinical applications by presenting the concept of therapeutic action that derives from the model. Then, in three successive chapters, he applies the model to patients traditionally conceptualized as borderline, narcissistic, and neurotic. He concludes with a chapter that addresses more broadly the craft of conducting psychoanalytic therapy. Filled with richly detailed case discussions, Transcending the Self provides practicing clinicians with a powerful demonstration of how psychoanalytic therapy informed by an object relations model can effect radical personality change. It is an outstanding example of integrative theorizing in the service of a real-world therapeutic approach.

Book Synopsis Religion and Psychology in Transition by : James W. Jones
Download or read book Religion and Psychology in Transition written by James W. Jones and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thought-provoking book, clinical psychologist and professor of religious studies James W. Jones presents a dialogue between contemporary psychoanalytic thinking and contemporary theology. He sheds new light on the interaction of religion and psychology by viewing it from the perspective of world religions, providing an epistemological framework for the psychology of religion that draws on contemporary philosophy of science, and bringing out the importance of gender as a category of analysis. Developments in psychoanalysis provide new resources for theological reflection, Jones contends. The Freudian view that human nature is isolated and instinctual has shifted to a vision of the self as constituted in and through relationships. Jones uses this relational model of human nature to explore the convergence between contemporary psychoanalysis, feminist theorizing, and themes in religious thought found in a variety of traditions. He also critiques the reductionism inherent in Freud's discussion of religion and proposes nonreductionistic and genuinely psychoanalytic ways for psychoanalysis to treat religious topics. For therapists, psychologists, theologians, and others interested in spiritual or psychological issues, Jones offers illuminating clinical material and insightful analysis.

Download or read book Lack & Transcendence written by David R. Loy and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-11-13 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Loy draws from giants of psychotherapy and existentialism, from Nietzsche to Kierkegaard to Sartre, to explore the fundamental issues of life, death, and what motivates us. Whatever the differences in their methods and goals, psychotherapy, existentialism, and Buddhism are all concerned with the same fundamental issues of life and death—and death-in-life. In Lack and Transcendence (originally published by Humanities Press in 1996), David R. Loy brings all three traditions together, casting new light on each. Written in clear, jargon-free style that does not assume prior familiarity, this book will appeal to a wide variety of readers including psychotherapists and psychoanalysts, scholars of religion, Continental philosophers, and readers seeking clarity on the Great Matter itself. Loy draws from giants of psychotherapy, particularly Freud, Rollo May, Irvin Yalom, and Otto Rank; great existentialist thinkers, particularly Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Heidegger, and Sartre; and the teachings Buddhism, particularly as interpreted by Nagarjuna, Huineng and Dogen. This is the definitive edition of Loy’s seminal classic.
