OverviewThis book explores the unconscious in psychoanalysisusing cross-disciplinary input from the cultural, social and linguistic perspectives. This book is the first contemporary collection applying the various perspectives from within the psychoanalytic discipline. It covers the unconscious from three main perspectives: the metaphysical, including links with quantum mechanics and Jung's thought; the socio-relational, drawing on ideas from politics, inter-generational trauma and the interpersonal; and the linguistic, drawing on notions of the social construct of language and hermeneutics. Throughout the history of psychoanalysis, theorists have wrestled with the ubiquitousness and diverse nature of the unconscious. This collection is an account of the contemporary psychoanalytic struggle to understand and work with this quintessential, defining, and foundational object of psychoanalysis. This book is primarily of interest to practicing clinicians and trainees. It is also of significant interest to any academic professionals and students who adapt psychoanalytic thought in their studies in the humanities, including literature, philosophy, and the social sciences.

Michael Eigen, The Challenge of Being Human, The Sensitive Self, Feeling Matters, and Flames from the Unconscious: Trauma, Madness, Faith. Though unconscious process and unconscious motivation has been at the center of psychoanalytic thinking from its inception, there has been only minimal literature comparing different ways of thinking about these key concepts that have evolved beyond Freud's original description and its ego-psychological emendations. This scholarly and well written volume brings us up-to-date, delineating key contemporary conceptualizations of unconscious process, comparing them with each other as well as with Freudian theorizing. It should be required reading for anyone interested in psychoanalysis. Irwin Hirsch PhD, NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis; The Wm. Alanson White Institute; The Manhattan Institute for Psychoanalysis. A book full of enriching analyses of the so called vast domain - the unconscious. A must for everyone entangled in the discourse on psychoanalysis and those who want to get involved. Rosemarie Brucher is a scholar in Theater Studies and Vice-Rector of Research of the Music and Arts University of the City of Vienna. A rich and rewarding collection of essays that expands our understanding and appreciation of the unconscious. Drawing on a diversity of voices and opinions, the editors weave a tapestry of viewpoints that challenge standard assumptions about the nature of unconscious experience and its applications.
