The Designed Self (Relational Perspectives Book Series)

What can contemporary psychoanalysis bring to the understanding of Generation X, a cohort for whom the trivialization of a dizzying array of possible experiences teamed with the pressure to lead spectacular lives often leads to diffuse feelings of confusion, depression, and disorientation. The Designed Self chronicles Strenger's therapeutic encounters with five extraordinarily gifted young adults for whom the ideal of authenticity long associated with the Baby-Boom generation was supplanted by the need to experiment endlessly with the self. Perpetual self-experimentation, constantly reinforced by the media, came to encompass everything from career choice, to hair color, to body shape, to gender identity. In compelling clinical stories, Strenger introduces us to patients for whom the project of shaping the self had become a cultural imperative no less than an expression of individuality. At once insightful and cautionary, The Designed Self investigates how psychoanalysis must change if it is to claim cultural relevance and therapeutic effectiveness in The Age of the Designed Self.

The Designed Self: Psychoanalysis and Contemporary Identities

Freud's Legacy in the Global Era (Relational Perspectives Book Series)

Freud’s Legacy in the Global Era presents a radically new perspective on Freud’s relevance today as a forerunner of the contemporary evolutionary neurosciences also steeped in the tradition of humanistic thought. Carlo Strenger shows how globalisation has produced new theoretical, practical and clinical issues for psychoanalysis, which can best be understood by drawing on influences from economics, sociology and philosophy. Strenger’s lively case histories demonstrate a new psychoanalytic viewpoint engaged with surrounding scientific disciplines in an enriching interchange, and open to the fascinating cultural and social developments that shape patients’ reality, lives and concerns in a global era. This book will be of interest to psychoanalysts, psychoanalytic and psychodynamically oriented psychotherapists and to all mental health professionals interested in the interaction of psychoanalysis and other disciplines from a global viewpoint as well as to lay readers keen to understand the complexity of globalized life.

Le 7 janvier 2015, les valeurs de nos societes occidentales ont ete bafouees. Le traumatisme, ravive par les attentats du 13 novembre a Paris, est toujours aussi vif, mais en debattre n'a jamais ete aussi delicat. Car si critiquer les croyances qui nourrissent le terrorisme, c'est risquer d'etre percu comme intolerant ou raciste, s'interdire de les critiquer, c'est etre prisonnier du politiquement correct et, en fin de compte, risquer de faire le jeu des extremismes de tous bords. Pour sortir de cette impasse et reagir avec discernement face aux attaques contre les libertes au c ur de nos democraties, Carlo Strenger, philosophe, psychanalyste et membre du comite d'observation du terrorisme, cree un concept inedit: lemepris civilise. Je le definis comme une capacite a s'inscrire en faux contre des credo, des comportements et des valeurs, des lors qu'ils nous apparaissent irrationnels, immoraux, incoherents ou inhumains. Renouer avec la responsabilite de s'instruire, refuser d'amalgamer individu et ideologie, Le Mepris civilise est un rappel indispensable des valeurs humanistes heritees des Lumieres, un pamphlet d'une actualite brulante, un outil indispensable pour oser mener un debat eclaire."
