In Love and Its Vicissitudes, Andre Green and Gregorio Kohon draw on their extensive experience to produce an insightful contribution to the psychoanalytic understanding of love

In Love and its Vicissitudes Andre Green and Gregorio Kohon draw on their extensive clinical experience to produce an insightful contribution to the psychoanalytic understanding of love.

In Part I, 'To Love or Not to Love - Eros and Eris', Andre Green addresses some important questions: What is essential to love in life? What, in the psychoanalytic method, is related to it? Should we understand love by referring to its earliest and most primitive roots? Or should we take as our starting point the experience of the adult? He argues that while science has...

Andre Green attempts the complex task of identifying and examining the key ideas for a contemporary psychoanalytic practice.

This undertaking is motivated both by the need for an outline of the evolution of psychoanalysis since Freud's death, and by the hope of tackling the fragmentation which has led to the current 'crisis of psychoanalysis'.

In three sections covering the theoretical and practical aspects of psychoanalysis, and analysing the current state of the field, Andre Green provides a stimulating overview of the principal concepts that have guided his work....

'The Winnicott Clinic of Psychotherapy was founded in 1969 and since 2000 has concentrated on the wider dissemination of the work and ideas of Dr Donald W. Winnicott (1896-1971), the distinguished English paediatrician, child psychiatrist and psychoanalyst.
-To that end, it has established the Winnicott Clinic Senior Research Fellowship in Psychotherapy and the Donald Winnicott Memorial Lecture, an annual event designed for a wide audience of professionals and others involved with children. These lectures focus upon a specific topic, arising from Winnicott's life and ideas, in terms of...

Here, Andre Green re-examines the fundamental role of the sexual in modern psychoanalysis. The work of analysis, he argues, consists in following the dynamic movements of the erotic process.

This title illustrates the number of forms of narcisssim met with in clinical practice, and draws attention to the duplicity underlying its structure. The author also shows that it is necessary to postulate the existence of a death-giving narcissism.

Mit der Metapher der "toten Mutter" beschreibt André Green nicht deren realen Tod, sondern die Erfahrung des Kindes mit einer innerlich abwesenden, depressiv zurückgezogenen Mutter. Zur Veranschaulichung der aus dieser Konstellation resultierenden psychischen Defizite des Kindes spricht er von den "psychischen Löchern" einer "weißen Depression".§Ausgehend von dieser frühkindlichen Erfahrung, widmet sich Green der Entwicklung des Narzissmus, nimmt nicht ausgearbeitete Gedanken der Freud schen Narzissmustheorie auf und denkt sie weiter. Dabei bezieht er sowohl die Klassiker zum Narzissmus...
