Description

Product Description Psychoanalytic Perspectives on the Shadow of the Parent explores the psychological challenges faced by the offspring of either famous or notorious parents. Beginning with parental legacies found in mythology and the Bible, the book presents a series of case studies drawn from a range of narrative contexts, selecting personalities drawn from history, politics, psychoanalysis and literature, all viewed from an analytic perspective. The concluding section focuses on the manifestation of this parental shadow within the field of fine art, as written by artists themselves. This is a lively and varied collection from a fascinating range of contributors. It provides readers with a new understanding of family history, trauma and reckoning screened through a psychoanalytic perspective, and will appeal to psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, counsellors and anyone interested in the dynamics of the family. Review "Jonathan Burke deserves thanks from this generation, and from future generations, for compiling this masterful collection of writings on the shadow (and light) cast by parents upon their children, who in turn provide a refraction of that illumination to their own children. For better or worse, this is our psychosocial fate. A clear message from Burke's book is that psychoanalytic perspectives take us very near to an understanding of these often ineffable, inevitable, and inescapable intergenerational influences." ―Howard Steele, PhD, professor and chair for clinical psychology, and co-director of the Center for Attachment Research, at the New School for Social Research, USA "This is a deftly edited collection from a compelling group of contributors on a remarkably interesting topic. What do we inherit from being parented? From private memoirs to clinical studies to scholarly essays on mythology and literature, the book takes on an unusual aura of its own. Readers will rethink how family life is intrinsically traumatic and how we are all invited into the compelling challenge to put the shadow of that experience into differing forms of narrative." ―Christopher Bollas, PhD, psychoanalyst and author of China on the Mind and Catch Them Before They Fall: Psychoanalysis of Breakdown About the Author Jonathan Burke is a psychoanalytic psychotherapist working in private practice in the UK. He previously edited The Topic of Cancer: New Perspectives on the Emotional Experience of Cancer (Karnac, 2013).
