Reviews
""At last we have a book that provides a comprehensive overview and assessment of the intersubjective turn in psychoanalysis, showing its logical and clinical limitations and exploring its social and cultural determinants. Bohleber emphasizes the clinical importance of real traumatic experience along with the analysis of the transference as he reviews and broadens psychoanalytic theories of memory in relation to advances in cognitive psychology and neuroscience. Psychoanalytic ideas on personality, adolescence and identity are re-thought and updated. Bohleber brilliantly presents a unique understanding of malignant narcissism and prejudice in relation to European anti-Semitism and to contemporary religiously inspired terrorist violence.""--Cyril Levitt, Dr Phil, Professor and former Chair Department of Sociology ""I strongly recommend Destructiveness, Intersubjectivity and Trauma to seasoned practitioners in the fields of psychoanalysis, social psychology, and cultural anthropology, as well as to practitioners of multicultural studies. Graduate students will find this book exceptionally illuminating in all fields of psychology. The author has provided the fields of clinical psychology, psychoanalysis, and cultural and social psychology with a balanced examination of psychoanalytic thought in relational and trauma theory within the context of today's world.""-- (01/19/2011) ""Bohleber's thoroughly theoretically grounded psychoanalytic approach gives one hope for the future of the discipline. The book is highly intelligent, makes psychoanalysis relevant to some of the deepest intellectual quandaries of our generation including the nature of the bipersonal field, the impact of interpersonal violence on human development, the ideologies that permit and possibly fuel such violence and the cultural forces that are unconsciously at work making all of us potential perpetrators as well as victims. Bohleber's book is a gem. It is the product of one of the most creative psychoanalytic minds of our generation. It purposefully avoids the extreme, is rooted in a balanced portrayal that eschews rhetoric or other attempts at short-circuiting serious balanced enquiry. It stands as a testament to the values within psychoanalysis that it celebrates, to resist idealisation and the destructiveness which it skirts.""--Peter Fonagy PhD FBA, Freud Memorial Professor of Psychoanalysis, Head of the Research Department of Clinical, Educational and Health Psychology, University College London, Chief Executive
