Aggression and Destructiveness

Psychoanalytic Perspectives

Herausgeber: Harding, Celia

Beschreibung

Aggression is a part of human nature that energizes our relationships, acts as an impetus for psychic development, and enables us to master our world. More often, we focus on its more destructive aspects, such as the violence individuals inflict on themselves or others and overlook the positive functions of aggression. In "Aggression and Destructiveness "Celia Harding brings together contributions from experienced psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists to explore the roots of aggression and the clinical dilemmas it presents in psychotherapy. Beginning with accounts of aggression and destructiveness from a range of developmental and theoretical perspectives, the book provides useful insights into subjects including: - Bullying and abusive relationships - Male and female violence and destructiveness - Depressive, perverse and psychotic states of mind - Attacks on therapeutic treatment This book makes a valuable contribution to the attempt to make senseof human aggression, destructiveness and violence perpetrated against the self, others and reality. It will be of great interest to trainee and qualified psychodynamic counselors, psychoanalytic psychotherapists and psychoanalysts.
