2. Inventing God: Psychology of belief and the rise of secular spirituality: Jon Mills New York, Routledge, 2017, 243 pp., $57.95 paper, ISBN-13: 978-1138195752.

In this intriguing but frustrating book, Jon Mills tries to do three things. However, Mills, like so many new atheists, misunderstands the issue of scientific meaning, in stating that "[t]he God question is not a legitimate scientific topic because it does not meet the basic requisite of falsifiability through testability." Mills struggles to uphold a standard something like this, but in the end the need to falsify religion wins the day, as exemplified by the following statement: "There is no evidentiary or verifiable proof for believing that God is anything but an idea" (p. 75).

3. Wittgenstein's Unglauben: Jacques Lacan and the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus.

PSYCHOANALYSIS ,SEMINARS ,ARGUMENT - Abstract
Jacques Lacan devoted one of the sessions of his important Seminar XVII, The Other Side of Psychoanalysis, to Ludwig Wittgenstein's classic work Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. Despite Lacan's and Wittgenstein's huge influence across academic disciplines (and the analytic–continental divide in philosophy), there has been no scholarly attempt to examine Lacan's claims concerning Wittgenstein in this seminar. This paper sets out to redress this gap in the literature. Specifically, we look at the context of the engagement; Lacan's reconstruction of Wittgenstein's arguments; their differing conceptions of truth, knowledge and the subject; and the issue of Wittgenstein's seemingly "psychotic" position.

PSYCHOANALYSIS ,RACISM ,REDUCTIONISM ,PSYCHOLOGY ,DEPOLITICIZATION - Abstract
This paper introduces and evaluates the Lacanian idea that racism can be conceptualized both as a mode of enjoyment (jouissance) and as a reaction to the perceived “theft of enjoyment.” Despite the distinct analytical advantages of this conceptualization—which grapples with racism not merely as discourse or socio-historical construction but in its affective, embodied, sensuous, and fantasmatic dimensions—the “theft of enjoyment” hypothesis can nonetheless be critiqued as: (1) guilty of a depoliticizing psychological reductionism; (2) conceptually under-differentiated and overly inclusive in its field of reference; (3) inattentive to different modes of enjoyment; and (4) conceptually decontextualized, cut off from the associated psychoanalytic concepts that necessarily accompany its proper application. Responding to these critiques, and by way of a defence of the analytic value of this hypothesis, this paper argues that: (1) jouissance is more a sociological than a psychological concept; (2) the notion of enjoyment must remain empty of definitive contents if it is to serve as an anti-essentialist variable of analysis; (3) three inter-connected modes of jouissance should be distinguished (bodily excitation, libidinal treasure, and the surplus vitality of the other); and (4) a series of psychoanalytic notions (drive, fantasy, object petit a, superego) should necessarily accompany any rigorous analytical application of the notion of jouissance to the social field.

DAUGHTERS ,FEMINISM ,PSYCHOANALYSIS ,DESIRE ,PSYCHOANALYSTS ,PSYCHOLOGY - Abstract
2014 saw a surge in discussions in the media and in feminist circles around who is a feminist and what it takes to be one: critics proclaimed that pop singer Beyoncé is not a feminist; Katy Perry and Lady Gaga reject the label; and Roxane Gay published a collection of essays, Bad Feminist (2014), on the topic. This paper works from and against the claim that third-wave feminism is rife with 'undutiful daughters' and reads many of today's feminists as 'bad psychoanalysts' whose investment in reading desire often leads to a misreading. In positioning American pop sensation Lana Del Rey vis-à-vis Sophocles' Antigone, I argue that these undutiful daughters ask us to interrogate what it means to make one's desire ambiguously legible, and how that might work with, from, or against third-wave feminism. This paper contends that Del Rey and Antigone's childlike attitudes, and their decision to remain undutiful daughters, offer a new model of willfulness that is integral to feminism today.

This paper is a brief, psychoanalytically informed exploration of youth development, with a focus on the often-negative psychosocial impact of neoliberal ideologies on low-income Black youth. Neoliberal policies have influenced the psychological development of low-income Black youths, who are embedded in psychosocial contexts that are often under-resourced and negatively racialized. This substantially constrains their attempts to love and work. There is often a paucity of safe places, identity capital and caring tutors of the imagination that might facilitate good outcomes for these young people. As a consequence of being embedded in such emotionally austere and unsafe places, they often adopt postures that lead to their under-development and, too often, their early demise. The paper also discusses some strategies of resistance to neoliberal ideology and policy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Following recent debates within Psychosocial Studies, this paper explores the interpretive trajectories initiated in contrasting conceptualisations of the relation between subject and other. Starting from a discussion of countertransference, I go on to examine Lacan's notion of the 'action of interpretation' and what this might look like within the practice of research. My analysis is organised around instances from an interview-based research project investigating unconscious relations in academic practice. These instances relate to moments of disruption to disciplinary or methodological identities. The analysis thus draws attention to shifting locations and modes of articulation of desire within research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper develops a psycho-social understanding of difficult and disabling life transitions, particularly in relation to old age. The paper brings together a biographical case study and theoretical analysis that draws on three sources: the work of Deleuze and Bergson in continental philosophy, Winnicott in psychoanalysis, and Turner in anthropology. By linking experience, theory and practice, I show how different, but related concepts, at different levels, may shed light on some puzzling behaviour common in old age. More broadly, I point to the value of such theoretical work for understanding and managing traumatic affect and life transitions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Psychoanalytic theory and practice have gradually come to recognize that societal prejudice and discrimination against lesbians has frequently resulted in damage to the self, resulting in various symptoms that include depression and low self-esteem. This paper suggests that the recent legal changes that have led to the legalization of same-sex marriage in many parts of the United States and much of the developed world has the potential to reverse that trend and to improve the psychological health of lesbians regardless of their marital status.

This paper explores the nature of interdisciplinary research in psychoanalytic studies by critically assessing the theory of cultural complexes. Too often, 'applied psychoanalysis' becomes 'wild psychoanalysis' when interventions ignore the respective epistemologies and methodologies of the disciplines onto which depth psychological theories are being applied. The notion of cultural complexes is one such case. The claim that the idea is a uniquely Jungian contribution to understanding culture is challenged. Important methodological hurdles that arise when a psychology of the individual is mobilized to explain group phenomena are ignored, as are its debts to the discipline of history. Perhaps most problematic is how the theory potentially sustains a tyrannical framework whereby different ways of remembering a past are stifled. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper draws on data collected from my recent exploration of how teachers become competent in the area of relationships. In an interview, a student teacher, Kristin, voiced the challenges she faced: ‘I think it is easy enough to get the knowledge the student needs. The problem is, in a way, when people are involved’. This paper presents an encounter between Kristin and a student after Kristin had started to work as a teacher. It shows the difficulty of being professional when ‘people are involved’, that is, when emotions are at work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper studies Austrian filmmaker Michael Haneke's most recent film, Caché (2005), as a narrative exploration of cultural tension, anxiety, and social psychology in the post-9/11 world. The paper focuses specifically on this psychological text/context and argues that, in the film, Haneke develops a critique of Western middle-class liberal subject positions through an examination of the crisis that emerges due to the intrusion of the Other and the Other's gaze. In studying the negotiations of a Parisian family with this sudden intrusion of the Other's gaze, I have relied on Lacan's theory of suture as constructing an imaginary defense against the Real of colonial guilt.Psychoanalysis, Culture & Society (2008) 13, 261–278. doi:10.1057/pcs.2008.13 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Racial loneliness is a phenomenon experienced by individuals of color in predominantly white settings, including the predominantly white clinic. This paper identifies key psychoanalytic underpinnings of racial loneliness, drawing upon theory from Klein, Fanon, Layton, Eng and Han, and Okun. In doing so, this paper explores racial loneliness and its treatment implications. Through a deepened understanding of racial loneliness, the isolation and exclusion of clinicians of color within psychoanalysis is interrogated. A clinical vignette is deployed to explore the effects of racial loneliness on treatment, identifying unique challenges in the realms of countertransference, self-disclosure, and identification.

This article examines two approaches to the study of films from the perspective of psychoanalysis. The paper argues that the psychoanalytic “reading” of films – and other cultural objects – should at all times be aware not just of the conscious and unconscious meanings present in those films, but also of the way that the unconscious thoughts of the person who is “reading” the film may influence or re-direct any straightforward interpretation. The reading of films is thus a two-way affair: a reading may be directed towards a film, but the film will also be “giving something back.” The article thus examines two psychoanalytic “readings” of films, a first that does not take into account the two-way nature of psychoanalytic reading, and a second that does.Psychoanalysis, Culture & Society (2005) 10, 252–268. doi:10.1057/palgrave.pcs.2100041 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Psychoanalysis can be considered from three different viewpoints: first as a science and a theory of psychic functioning, secondly as an ethical system, and thirdly as a clinical practice. In this paper, we argue that these three perspectives are deeply inter-related, since they have everything to do with a fundamental structural underlying lack. We discuss why and how psychoanalytic ethics need to assume this lack, how the original contribution psychoanalysis can make to science is related to the study of it, and how psychoanalytic practice is faced with the continuous challenge of starting from the lack as a source of creativity.

PSYCHOANALYSIS ,PSYCHOLOGY ,POLITICAL psychology ,OPPRESSION - Abstract
In his pioneering work on liberation psychology, Ignacio Martín-Baró describes de-alienation as a subjective process of recovering fragmented historical pasts for the purpose of reconstituting and liberating ourselves from an oppressive, alienating present. In this article, I argue that although de-alienation is typically understood as a political concept, it also lends itself to psychoanalytic readings. To this end, I draw on Marxist notions of material alienation, as well as Lacanian conceptions of subjective alienation, to offer a psychopolitical interpretation of de-alienation. More specifically, I use Marx and Lacan to consider how liberation psychology work can advance de-alienating processes within political organising, the production of art, and knowledge creation. I conclude by urging those working within the liberation psychology paradigm to consider how other psychopolitical lenses might avail emancipatory insights into collective resistance.

This paper stems from psychotherapy work with patients who ‘neglect personal hygiene’ in homelessness and chronic mental health settings, and consultancy to staff groups tasked with patients’ ‘social inclusion’. Psychoanalytic theory has largely eschewed exploring internal psychic states communicated by odour and, equally, the meaning of marked societal hostility towards malodorous individuals. The paper looks at historical and anthropological notions of ‘dirt’ and the construction of the ‘unwashed’ as a social category in the formation of bourgeois society. Psychoanalytic ideas of unconscious bodily and psychic communication are described. Case examples explore how troubled relations between body and mind result from early abuse/neglect, where the internal world is suffocated by trauma and ‘dread’ which cannot be contained and processed. From a psychosocial perspective, taking up a role as ‘unacceptable’ is the paradoxical condition of belonging for many members of the social whole. The paper suggests that invasive smell confronts us with our repressed knowledge of that which is ‘rotten’ in the emotional and sociopolitical environment in which ‘the unwashed’ exist. An example from organisational consultancy traces profound disturbance in institutional dynamics that occurs when the malodorous individual seeks to claim shared social resources. The author questions the prevalent view that ‘being smelly’ is an attempt to withdraw from social and psychic contact, rather than a meaningful communication which is within the scope of psychoanalytic thought to understand.

Education valorises what Bion called the Waking-state; this paper explores the ways in which this preference may incur costs to learning, and why maintaining a connection to dreaming in the classroom might be important.

Individuals excluded from ‘the social contract’ are subject to a certain irruption of the traumatic, understood as subjective disorganization resulting from the emergence of that which is outside sense and outside signification. Such subjects experience the loss of a discourse of belonging and of being afforded a place in society. The lack of narcissistic gratification, along with the exclusion from group ideals and values, foster a fragmentation of social ties and produce disruptive effects in subjectivity. This paper discusses the possibilities afforded by psychoanalytic listening to subjects who have experienced social exclusion as traumatic: those who suffer extreme poverty and social exclusion within neoliberal economic models. Examples are drawn from clinical work with young people who live on the outskirts of the city of Sao Paulo and who have had the experience of living in the streets. Rather than attuning to this sort of listening, it is not rare for those in some social agencies and in some forms of psychotherapy to mistake apathy, loneliness and muting for structural characteristics of the subject rather than as the effects of exclusion and the reproduction of a form of social violence. This misrecognition precludes the creation of a symbolic elaboration that could provide a symptomatic shape to that which is experienced as traumatic. This paper argues for the possibility of listening to subjects silenced by exclusion.

Walkerdine's ‘Video Replay’ paper analysing a working-class family's reactions to watching a video of Rocky II was pathbreaking: it underlined power relations implicit in participant observation, challenged the differential between ‘high’ and ‘low’ culture and developed a framework for understanding viewers’ engagement with film. The paper also makes a transcript of the video-viewing available for subsequent analysis. This commentary rereads the transcript in the light of the contemporary context and my affective responses to the material. The reading draws attention to identifications at play among family members, film characters and researcher, as well as to the ways this family's establishing a harmonious domestic scene allowed violent material to be viewed in relative safety. Fantasy is perceived as having constitutive effects. This reading moderates some of the deterministic implications of focusing primarily on signification.

This paper employs Lacanian theories of language and temporality in order to dissect the workings of emotional abuse. Because emotional abuse varies greatly and can be difficult to describe, this paper attempts to discern the internal mechanisms that allow abuse to function: specifically, how the abused partner is trapped by the linguistic and emotive techniques of the abuser. Lacanian psychoanalysis can help show how the internal dynamic of abuse works, and how it repeats itself through the continuous immobilization of the abused partner.

Enactments of palliative care entail an excess of dissociated pain and anxiety that conforms with the unconscious injunction of our liberal individualist society to “Be Well”. In this paper, I suggest that palliative care rituals serve as society-level unconscious defenses that Westerners use to ward off any form of emotional discomfort. This paper follows a patient, starting with a “zombie” dream presented in her initial session, through the first 6 years of her psychoanalytic treatment as she moves through this palliative care system.

Weight cycling, the process of losing and then gaining weight repeatedly, is presented negatively in both the mainstream obesity and critical health studies literature. In this paper, I present an alternative perspective through the use of Lacanian psychoanalytic theory coupled with the qualitative method of autotheory. Specifically, I contest the notion of weight maintenance, suggesting instead that repeated weight loss and gain can be seen as the maintenance of the subject’s desire – something that has an ethical basis in psychoanalytic terms.

This paper argues that processes of sublimation underlie experiences of ecological grief. In contrast to the role of sublimation as an ego-object relation in fantasies of visually representing and externalizing loss, this reading of sublimation identifies the value of internalization and of the ego’s relationship to itself in three analytic scenes: Freud’s death drive; Heimann’s ego capacity; and Searles’s human/nonhuman conflict. While grieving implies that environmental loss is recuperable, these relations of sublimation conceptualize destruction in the nonhuman environment as beyond human recuperability, and this notion of irrecuperable loss informs our understanding of the psychical aspects of environmental consciousness.

In the following paper, the author offers a name (“sympathetic subsumption”) and a psychoanalytic and socio-analytic explanation for the process by which a victimizing individual or group re-directs sympathy toward itself, even as it victimizes an other or others. In most cases, sympathetic subsumption involves ambivalent identifications with and tenuous idealizations of past and present victims and victimizers. The result of sympathetic subsumption is the displacement of sympathy for manifest victims, allowing acts of victimization to occur with diminished emotional resistance. Thus, individuals and groups make use of sympathetic subsumption to facilitate attacks upon others and to avoid conscious confrontation with real anxieties and terrors that arise in group settings.

This paper explores the function of the maternal phallus in the construction of human subjectivity, confronting omnipotence and castration as the two terms punctuating the subject’s journey from primary to secondary process. The rape of the maternal phallus is posited as a foundational psychic event eliciting the advent of repression via the introduction of the term of castration. This paradigm is examined across a variety of metapsychological and mythological references and an array of clinical situations including fetishism, psychosis and hysteria.

Loss and hatred are two powerful emotions that are ubiquitous phenomena woven into the fabric of coming out and being out. Both exist in an interpersonal matrix where being out carries the risk of loss of connection and mutuality with important others. This loss can result in the internalization of one's identity as repellent and inferior, a shamed subjectivity. The path to being a healthy, integrated, and openly gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender (lgbt) person is examined theoretically and clinically, with transferential and countertransferential material used to dislodge the internalized belief that being hated is deserved.

People with disabilities face multiple forms of social exclusion, discrimination, and oppression, including in the domain of sex and sexuality. From a critical psychoanalytic viewpoint, social responses to persons with impairments are strongly unconsciously mediated, and often dominated by projections based on archaic anxieties about dependency, vulnerability, and shame. Where disability meets sexuality, these defenses may be more prominent still, resulting, for one example, in the prejudiced myth that people with disabilities are disinterested in, or not capable of, sex. Using this theoretical stance, this paper examines how the developmental role of family and societal influences on the social constructions of sexuality and disability are internalized, resisted, and negotiated by two South Africans with physical disabilities. Data are drawn from interview material elicited via photovoice methodology. The interview narratives and photographic images are used to explore how sexual oppression may be internalized, creating intra-psychic barriers to inclusion for this already structurally disadvantaged group.

In this paper, I pose the question of how a traumatic past may be represented through a strategy of intergenerational, interpsychic displacement. I present the case of one reader who uses poetry and art to respond to a difficult text: Lynda Barry’s The Freddie Stories. In my examination of this reader’s encounter with difficult knowledge, I turn to Bion’s concept of the caesura as a means of investigating between affect and representation, memory and its screen, self and other, past and present, revelation and concealment.

This paper explores the relation between transference and free association in the production of data in sociological and social research. Drawing on Laplanche’s notion of the analyst as a provocation for the transference and Lacan’s understanding of the analyst as cause of desire, we map transference as a condition for free association and theorise an ‘enigma of participation’ in research. We develop these ideas through a discussion of two astonishing moments in recent research interviews. We propose that free associative interviews can be understood as sites of transference that help us to glimpse the unconscious in social and political discourse and offer insights into the (im)possibilities of subjective change.

In this paper I make a preliminary sketch of the field of psychoanalytic psychosocial practice. I do this by looking in detail at four accounts of clinical work which claim to be psychosocial. I start by describing one vector of this field which I use to distinguish between the clinical accounts, whether they believe a psychoanalytic psychosocial practice can be done within the existing psychoanalytic framework, or whether a more radical clinical approach is needed which would fundamentally change the way psychoanalysis is practised. In exploring this vector in more detail, other differences between the authors of these clinical accounts emerge: how they understand the connection between psychic and social reality, how they understand neutrality, transference and countertransference, and how they conceive of the aims of psychoanalysis. Further elaboration of the different ways of understanding these elements and their connection with each other would be needed in order to take further this preliminary mapping exercise.

In this wide-ranging conversation, Alenka Zupančič engages with a number of important themes that animate her current work. Randall Terada begins by asking her first to address the striking connections in her work between sexuality, ontology, and the unconscious. Zupančič then moves on to the Lacanian theme of subjective destitution and her differences with Alain Badiou's theory of the subject. She highlights her most recent work on Kant and offers a subtle critique of Emmanuel Levinas and Jean Laplanche. Zupančič lightens up the discussion somewhat by detailing an Ernst Lubitsch joke to illustrate the significance of the with-without for her Lacanian inspired ontology and in doing so points out why the sexes are not two in any meaningful way. Finally, the discussion closes with a candid and accessible commentary on being, multiplicity, and the One and its importance for a politics that is emphatic in its emphasis that it not take 'nothing' or 'non-being' for granted.

Framed as a critique of the neoliberal dream of autonomy and a re-evaluation of the meaning of equality, this article will explore Mitchell's account of 'the smallest of differences which is necessary to inaugurate society'. At the social level, this minimal difference is the interaction between kinship relations and reproductive processes. Yet Mitchell argues that 'the establishment of difference is also that which is absolutely crucial at an individual level': an orchestration of life and death drives into the movement of the human infant within and beyond narcissism, establishing a self and discovering difference and the world.

I address a series of criticisms that Kevin Lu has raised about the cultural complex theory. Lu challenges the application of a theory originally developed about the psychology of individuals to the psychology of groups. He also questions whether the cultural complex theory has adequately employed the well-established techniques of other disciplines to pursue its inquiry. I argue for the validity of the way in which the cultural complex theory is being developed. At the same time I do not suggest that it is a 'unified field theory' intended to be the only valid approach to understanding cultural conflict or how the group psyche functions.

In this brief paper, the terms “safe space” and “trigger warning” are considered through an engagement with two related concepts: “intersectionality” and “ignorance.” It is proposed that two of the necessary states that make for safe, non-triggering learning environments are “intersectional awareness” and the “expiration of ignorance.” Moreover, while much of the rich literature on the intergenerational transmission of psychological states has focused on the sequelae of trauma, here the intergenerational transmission of psychological strengths is considered too, not only as healthy adaptation but also as a facet of personality that can trigger another person, despite intentions to the contrary.

This paper reflects upon the debates over the use of trigger warnings in educational spaces from a feminist psychoanalytic perspective. The writer posits that underlying the debate is a dissociative mechanism that results in psychological splitting. Dissociation is used to defend against formulating and acknowledging students’ traumatic experiences, especially minority students, e.g., women and people of color. This dissociation is coupled with a patriarchal order that often frames educational pedagogy, and deems different human qualities as gendered and hierarchal. Rationality is equated with masculinity and valued, while emotionality is equated with femininity and devalued. Hence, educational spaces often privilege rational knowledge and diminish the role of emotion and intuition. This can lead to discussion of the latter becoming unwelcome and inappropriate. The writer argues that, in order to create educational spaces that foster critical thinking, and not mere reproduction of knowledge, the integration of the dissociated and devalued aspects of the experience is imperative.

Lasch's (1978) study of the 'culture of narcissism' is discussed as a model socio-psychoanalytic inquiry. However, in fragmented societies, the search for an encompassing diagnosis is less useful than a strategy of identifying states of mind active in specific situations. In studying more malignant phenomena, paranoid states are important, especially in their combination with narcissism. Hofstadter's (1964) essay on the paranoid 'style' is a key reference point. Comparing Lasch and Hofstadter invites a consideration of broad issues concerning the relations between culture and psyche, and between leaders and followers. The paper ends with a short commentary on narcissistic and paranoid states of mind in the case of President Trump.

Psychoanalysis has a central yet contested position in the emergence of psychosocial studies as a new ‘transdisciplinary’ space. Psychoanalysis potentially offers a vocabulary and practice of crossing boundaries that seems to be at one with the psychosocial project of understanding psychic and social processes ‘as always implicated in each other, as mutually constitutive, co-produced, or abstracted levels of a single dialectical process’ (Frosh, 2018a). The intersection ‘psychoanalysis, culture, society’, with its promise of an explicit engagement with social, political and ethical relations, and its traversing of disciplinary boundaries across the arts, humanities and social sciences, should therefore be crucial for the psychosocial project. This paper will consider where we are with ‘psychoanalysis, culture and society’ in relation to the ‘psychosocial’ – and what this means for a world much in need of more fluid, trans/disruptive boundaries.

Renowned psychiatrist and social activist Robert Jay Lifton considers his life and career in a conversation with two psychoanalysts. Looking back on the major early influences on his psychoanalytically informed ideas and research methods, Lifton talks about his analytic training, his later involvement with the Wellfleet group, most particularly Erik Erikson, and his experience as a psychiatrist in Japan and China in the post-World War II period of 'American triumphalism.' Lifton discusses some of his major concepts in relation to a psychoanalytic perspective, including his notions of 'ideological totalism' and 'survivor guilt and mission,' and the power that ideology and group pressures have in a particular historical context to transform individual identity and psychology.
