Over 100 years since its origins, psychoanalysis continues to be a key source of insights across the humanities and social sciences. Being well-versed in psychoanalytic concepts is a crucial element in cultural literacy today. Key Concepts in Psychoanalysis accessibly introduces the core psychoanalytic concepts. In contrast to existing dictionaries, the volume does not simply offer cursory definitions, and it is not overly entrenched in a particular psychoanalytic tradition. Providing short, reader-friendly descriptions of each concept, Key Concepts in Psychoanalysis shows both its place in the field as well its more general cultural usage. It is not simply a reference book, but can be read cover to cover to provide an overview of the therapeutic and cultural uses of central terms. Concepts are introduced in ways which make them truly available to a non-expert readership and to beginning students. Examples of concepts introduced include: unconscious, repression, projection, Oedipus complex, interpretation, resistance, and transference.

Die psychosozialen Studien im Vereinigten Königreich sind ein vielfältiger Arbeitsbereich, der sich durch Innovation in Theorie und empirischer Forschung auszeichnet. Die außerordentliche Lebendigkeit dieses Bereichs zeigt sich in diesem Buch, das die Forschungsarbeiten der Abteilung für psychosoziale Studien an der Birkbeck University of London, UK, vorstellt und drei zentrale Bereiche der Disziplin beleuchtet: Psychoanalyse, Ethik und Reflexivität sowie Widerstand. Das Buch befasst sich auf psychosoziale Weise mit einer Vielzahl von Themen, von der Sozialkritik der Psychoanalyse über postkoloniale und Queer-Theorie bis hin zu Studien über psychische Gesundheit und Widerstand gegen Diskriminierung. Diese "New Voices in Psychosocial Studies" bieten eine kohärente und doch weitreichende Darstellung der Forschung, die in einem "Dialekt" des neuen Terrains der psychosozialen Studien stattgefunden hat, und ein Agenda-setzendes Manifest für einige der Arten von Arbeit,die die fortgesetzte Kreativität der psychosozialen Studien in der nächsten Generation sicherstellen könnten. Dieses Buch zeigt die kontinuierliche Entwicklung der psychosozialen Studien als innovative, kritische Kraft und wird sowohl neue als auch etablierte Forscher aus allen Bereichen inspirieren, die ihren transdisziplinären Ansatz beeinflussen, einschließlich: kritische Psychologie und radikale Soziologie, feministische, queere und postkoloniale Theorie, kritische Anthropologie und Ethnographie und Phänomenologie.

This book explores the legacies of suffering in relation to 'those who come after' - the descendants of victims, survivors and perpetrators of traumatic events.

Provides an introduction to the major debates around feelings in the modern world.

More than a hundred years after its founding, psychoanalysis remains influential and controversial far outside its core sphere of activity in the 'clinic'. In a wide range of cultural and social disciplines, psychoanalytic ideas are drawn on to explain human subjectivity and its relationship with the social world. This lucid and engaging book explores these interventions through detailed examination of how psychoanalytic ideas apply in literature, politics, social psychology, philosophy and psychosocial studies. The highly-regarded and influential author, Stephen Frosh, shows how psychoanalysis can at times greatly illuminate these fields of study, and how at other times it might misread them. He also asks what psychoanalysis can learn from the disciplines with which it is in dialogue, and particularly how it can retain its own capacity for critical thought. Sophisticated and stimulating, yet accessible and approachable, this important book:* provides a critical exploration that will stimulate further debate about the place of psychoanalysis in intellectual life* develops the newly emerging psychosocial perspective as one that links psychological and social theories in novel ways.Psychoanalysis Outside the Clinic will be of profound interest to students and academics across a wide range of disciplines, particularly those taking courses in social, cultural or political theory at undergraduate or postgraduate level or studying on programmes in Psychoanalytic or Psychosocial Studies.

How do boys see themselves? Their peers? The adult world? What are their aspirations? Their fears? Centring on a study in which boys talked openly about such issues as their relationships with parents and friends, 'hardness', homophobia and football, and the importance of youth style, 'race' and ethnicity, Young Masculinities will be of profound interest to students and researchers in psychology, sociology, gender and youth studies, as well as to those determining social policy on boys and young men.

This critical exploration of issues of gender in psychoanalysis acknowledges and updates the complexity of theory and writing in this area, particularly the way sexual differences can only be thought about from a gendered position.

From the author of "The Politics of Psychoanalysis", this text provides a guide to modernist and post-modernist perceptions and to the uses of psycho-analysis in the contemporary cultural scene. It explores the nature of the individual's response to the pressures of the modern experience.
