Cohen, Fern (2007). From Both Sides of the Couch: Reflections of a Psychoanalyst, Daughter Tennis Player and Other Selves. (BookSurge Publishing) — $16.75. “After more than fifteen years of gestation, incubation, editing and who knows what else, I am very happy to announce the publication of my book, From Both Sides of the Couch … reflections of a psychoanalyst, daughter, tennis player, and other selves … A memoir intended for the general public (but not excluding professionals), the book is about the nature of our earliest relationships to shape us and the power of psychoanalysis to free us from our ghosts, in my case, my father, a legendary jurist with whom tennis became an very early link. I am hopeful (perhaps naive or possibly manic), that if the book gets enough of a readership, it will help demystify our very misunderstood, beleagured profession although my original intent so many years ago was to tell a story as best I could.”

Frankel, Steven A. Making Psychotherapy Work: Collaborating Effectively with Your Patient (IUP, 366 pp, paperback) — $47.00. “In the field of psychotherapy there is no more important question than what makes therapy work.

By identifying and explicating those elements that are essential to change, Frankel accomplishes what few authors before him have been able to achieve. He provides a clear, thoughtful and practically useful answer to the question of how psychotherapy actually heals. And in doing so he provides an invaluable contribution to our field.” Theodore J. Jacobs, M.D., Author of Uses of the Self, International Universities Press.
Frattaroli, Elio (2001) Healing the Soul in the Age of the Brain: Becoming Conscious in an Unconscious World (Hardcover and Paperback,Viking Adult) — $12 soft or hardcover. “I wrote Healing the Soul in the Age of the Brain because I believe that our society is in a state of moral crisis. Our lives are so consumed by the dehumanizing forces of materialism that we have lost touch with the deeper needs and values of the soul. Culturally, we value physical appearances, material possessions, creature comforts, and addictive pleasures, as if we really believed that the one who dies with the most toys wins. We then rationalize the emptiness of these materialistic values by invoking another kind of materialism—that of modern science, which gives credence only to what can be seen and measured and believes that only the physical is real.
Gargiulo, Gerald J. (2004). Psyche, Self and Soul (London: Whurr/Wiley)–$34.00. “In this searching and gracefully written book, Gerald J. Gargiulo reclaims the soul as the proper study of psychoanalysis. It is hard to write about phenomena that defy description, but Gargiulo’s achievement is to find metaphors and allusions that illuminate the meaning of meaning. Gargiulo, whose spiritual ancestry includes a panoply of philosophers, theologians, scientists, poets
and analysts, has the passionate conviction and relentless curiosity that characterize the most creative contributors to the psychoanalytic canon. Psyche, Self and Soul will be inspiring to readers inside and outside the analytic community who seek the experience of the learner, the wisdom of the seeker.”–Nancy McWilliams, Ph.D.
Goldberg, Arnold (February , 2007). Moral Stealth: How “Correct Behavior” Insinuates Itself into Psychotherapeutic Practice (University Of Chicago Press, Hardcover, 1st edition) — $30.00. “Arnold Goldberg is one of the most innovative and exciting contributors to psychoanalysis today. This fascinating volume examines the moral and ethical foundations of the field and, not surprisingly, Goldberg finds that many of our comfortable core assumptions-confidentiality, honesty, neutrality, appropriate superego functioning, and more-turn out to be devilishly complex when examined carefully. His meticulous and constructive explorations, sharp and witty, are in the service of understanding and enlightening our professional morality, much of which operates automatically, without scrutiny. Reading Moral Stealth will make you a more thoughtful-and better-psychoanalyst and psychotherapist.” –Arnold M. Cooper, author of The Quiet Revolution in American Psychoanalysis and past president of the American Psychoanalytic Association.

The latter comes through loud and clear. Her explication of her work with (as she puts it) is “the most difficult roadblock of all…the need to hold on to internalized sadomasochistic object relationships” (p. 213) is exquisite. I have not seen elsewhere such a compelling presentation of theory (with succinct and illuminating references) and demonstrations of technique–and solid recommendations about technical approaches with specific aspects of s-m transference-countertransference–all hand-in-hand with case presentations that are written in the language of experience.” — Fred L. Griffin, M.D., Associate Professor, Department of Psychiatry, University of Alabama School of Medicine.
