Paperback. Zustand: Good. Today sees the rise of nationalism, the return of totalitarian parties in Europe to electoral success, and the rise of the alt-right and white supremacists in the US. Thus, there is urgency for psychoanalysts, with their understanding of cruelty, sadomasochism, perversion, and other mental mechanisms, to speak out. Jonathan Sklar has risen to the challenge with this timely, thought-provoking, and, at times, upsetting work. Dark Times starts with a look at European history in terms of monuments and mourning, before moving into storytelling and the elision of thought and history at this current time, including harrowing detail of the brutalities inflicted by ISIS on the Yazidi, and concludes with a meditation on the relationship between cruelty in the early environment and hatred of the other within society, with particular focus on racism in the US. Sklar goes against the grain of brief sound bites, which are an aid to quickly pass over painful knowledge. Instead, he goes into detail to give extremely dark, horrid occurrences, and the human beings on the receiving end, respect and understanding, which enables the reader greater access to allowing unconscious things to be made more conscious, highlighting the quality of humanity in human beings. Also, listening to these stories enables us to become more aware, not only of what is going on over there, but also what is happening here, because in our increasingly joined-up world, here is always implicated and affected too. By ridding ourselves of the illusions of our political times, we can find greater freedom to think, develop, challenge, and create hope, for the future of our children and our grandchildren, as well as for ourselves. Dark Times is a timely, thought-provoking, and, at times, upsetting work that is a must- read for all those looking for a deeper understanding of today's world. …

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. All around us, the world is splintering into "us" versus "them": Brexit, Donald Trump vs Hillary Clinton, the Syrian Civil War, the return of totalitarian parties in Europe to electoral success, and the rise of the alt-right and white supremacists in the US. Neofascism is on the rise worldwide with worrying echoes of the past whilst politicians scrap amongst themselves over conflicting ideologies. Dr Jonathan Sklar brings his razor-sharp analytic skills out of the consulting room and into society. His searing insights into why our world is fragmenting around us need to be read and need to be heard. It is time for psychoanalysis to shine a light on the wider world and go against the current desire for quick soundbites and easy answers and, instead, engage our consciousness to truly understand, challenge, and engage with the political landscape. Jonathan tells us, "Each generation must pick up the political thought and action of confronting fascism." This book is his rallying cry to our generation and is a deeply relevant, thoughtful, and important book for our times.

Paperback. Zustand: New. The book contains 26 colour illustrations, including 23 stunning artworks to deepen the appreciation of all the arts bring.Totalitarian governments emerge from the same unconscious sadomasochistic structures that are found in the analysis of traumatised patients. Since the earliest times, art has been used as propaganda both to uphold the status quo and to subvert it. The arts as a whole connect with the individual and can open eyes and change minds. Culture is a valuable tool and one where the lack was felt keenly during lockdown when galleries, music halls, and theatres were closed. Culture begins in the child's mind. For Winnicott, it is located in the potential space between the individual and the environment as the child's mind develops its unconsciousness and capacities for play. And the ability to play, or not, is connected to the freedom to think own's own thoughts or, by preference, to follow the leader.Jonathan Sklar investigates these themes and more through twelve stunning chapters. These include discussions of Francis Bacon's meditations on sadomasochism, linked to his fears of the rise of Hitler, and of today's world with debate seemingly missing and, in its place, the political entrenchment of hatred. There is a discourse on Cézanne's apples, always in process of falling, and a chapter on the adventuresome British painter William Tillyer, examining his art to understand the necessity for his creative drive. Sklar reflects on the analysis of a heroin addict, re-examines Freud's seminal paper 'A child is being beaten' in relation to maternal sadism, meditates on psychosis and the true self, and considers the origins of sadomasochism and early trauma in the treatment of a schizophrenic woman. A chapter of 'early Covid writings' includes contributions from Endre Koritar, Victoria Hamilton, Philip Hewitt, Danielle Knafo, Drew Tillotson, Marcelo N. Viñar, and Wang Qian, and explores emptiness and holding on to creativity. The Bloomsbury Group and the early evolution of independence in the British Psychoanalytical Society is the focus of the penultimate chapter, and the book ends with thoughts about dancing bears - discussing our present-day problems of inner and outer reality in individuals and in societies.Reinforced with playful appearances by Velázquez, Goya, Klee, Picasso, Arendt, Benjamin, Brecht, Huysmans, Shostakovich, Bollas, Bion, Forrester, Milner, and Enid Balint, another thread running through the book is of holding one's nerve, being alive in the moment, and realising that enactment in clinical work can be another royal road to the unconscious. Yet another is how culture can speak to hard-core power: Picasso found a way of focusing his pain(ting) Guernica to evermore pin the fascist crime to the town destroyed by the Luftwaffe. Today's crimes can also be addressed in such ways: Putin's destruction of Ukraine, totalitarian states of mind conglomerating in all continents, and the crisis of global warming.The emptiness of the m.…

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Psychoanalysis is a valuable tool to add to the sciences and the arts: all contain unconscious hidden depths that can become insight and understanding and contribute to humanity as culture. Using the prism of art, music, and storytelling, Jonathan Sklar takes psychoanalytic thought to a wide audience to enable a greater understanding of humanity. Totalitarian governments emerge from the same unconscious sadomasochistic structures that are found in the analysis of traumatised patients. Since the earliest times, art has been used as propaganda both to uphold the status quo and to subvert it. The arts as a whole connect with the individual and can open eyes and change minds.

Today's crimes can also be addressed in such ways: Putin's destruction of Ukraine, totalitarian states of mind conglomerating in all continents, and the crisis of global warming. The emptiness of the missing from early traumatic states of mind often cannot be replaced because it was never present. Yet the gap can be filled with metaphor as in storytelling, in art, music, literature, and myths, as processes to sustain recovery and new beginnings. Read The Soft Power of Culture: Art, Transitional Space, Death and Play to open your eyes and change your mind on all that culture brings.
