Steven Jaron

This book provides a clear and accessible overview of the seminal clinical thinking of Christopher Bollas. Placing Bollas’s writings besides those of analysts including Milner, Bion, Winnicott, Lacan, and Green, Steven Jaron examines the central concept of the unthought known in terms of unconscious communication in the primary environment while occasioning a reworking of Oedipal configurations. Through vivid narratives of character analyzing a range of adult patients, at times requiring a rethinking of the conventional psychoanalytic frame, Jaron offers a fresh perspective on Bollas in arguing for the importance of considering not only the patient’s self experience but also the psychoanalyst's. This important study will be rewarding to beginning and seasoned analysts alike, offering suggestions for using Bollas’ work in the consulting room as well as when faced with the demands of civic life today.

"Psicanálise e vida covidiana" oferece aos leitores uma oportunidade de refletir sobre as transformações suscitadas pela pandemia da Covid-19 na prática analítica. O impacto traumático provocado pelo distanciamento social e pelas mudanças impostas ao enquadre (sessões on-line), e a subversão da nossa negação habitual da morte são alguns dos temas explorados neste livro. Como entender e tratar os sofrimentos individuais e coletivos que estamos atravessando? Dos freudianos aos lacanianos, dos ferenczianos aos bionianos, passando pelos kleinianos, os autores aqui reunidos apresentam algumas das ferramentas oferecidas pela psicanálise para enfrentar os desafios que as convulsões psicossociais do século XXI parecem nos reservar.

Desamparo coletivo, experiência individual

Psicanálise e vida covidiana

"For a man who no longer has a homeland, writing becomes a place to live (Theodor Adorno). The Jewish writer Edmond Jabes, born in Cairo in 1912, wrote explicitly from the perspective of exile once he arrived in France after the Suez crisis. However, Jaron argues, exile was a predominant theme even before Jabes left Egypt. He brings to light the author's associations with other francophone writers in Egypt, especially those affiliated with the Surrealists, but shows that metropolitan France exerted a greater pull. Drawing on unpublished archival and rare printed sources, Jaron examines how Jabes opposed anti-Semitism during the 1930s, and later placed the Shoah at the heart of his acclaimed ""Livres des Questions"" (1963-73)."
