Chasseguet-Smirgel illuminates not only the psychology of narcissism in individuals but many of the connections between psychic life and society.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49541837816081,"sku":"GOR002323690","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51165174595857,"sku":"CIN0946960135G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53073504600337,"sku":"NLS9780946960132","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0946960135.jpg?v=1750788118"},{"product_id":"creativity-and-perversion-book-janine-chasseguet-smirgel-9780946960088","title":"Creativity and Perversion","description":"What is the relationship between creativity and perversion?  The boundary between the world of art and 'the artful universe of the pervert' is carefully explored in this study.  Beyond the banal or picturesque variations in sexual behaviour, there lies an essential dimension of the human condition, a permanent temptation of the mind.  It is the wish to escape our limitations, to replace our world with one where all things are possible.  Led on by hubris, 'the artful universe' of perversion dethrones God-The-Father and rewrites the Bible.  It aims to transmute reality, to revert to confusion and chaos.  Janine Chasseguet-Smirgel draws on a wide range of films, plays and writers - including de Sade, Oscar Wilde, and H.G. Wells.  Examples from these sources are closely interwoven with clinical case material.  Although the author does not conform to the classical analytic scheme, she reviews the psychoanalytic literature and remains faithful to Freud's thought.  Emphasizing the relations between perversion, narcissism and idealization, she places the problem of perversion within the endless struggle of humanity against reality.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49556273365265,"sku":"GOR003917544","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49731856367889,"sku":"NGR9780946960088","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50373906628881,"sku":"CIN0946960089G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50440374649105,"sku":"CIN0946960089VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50592861487377,"sku":"GOR002381128","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50706490097937,"sku":"GOR007531439","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53073504567569,"sku":"NLS9780946960088","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0946960089.jpg?v=1751444612"},{"product_id":"freud-or-reich-book-janine-chasseguet-smirgel-9780946960323","title":"Freud or Reich?","description":"This book presents a critique of several of the 'Freudo-Marxisms' - Marcuse, Reich, Deleuze and Guattari's Anti-Oedipus - based on the argument that each adopts a mistaken view of the unconscious, and distorts the Freudian theory of psychoanalysis in the interests of illusion.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49606273040657,"sku":"GOR002237395","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0946960321.jpg?v=1751202583"},{"product_id":"body-as-mirror-of-the-world-book-janine-chasseguet-smirgel-9781853437090","title":"The Body as Mirror of the World","description":"Is today's thinking conditioned by body-mind dualism? A rebellion against the biological order seems to have silently infiltrated our world view. Suicide bombers appear to share the fascination with destruction, of writers such as Mishima, Pasolini and Foucault. A liberation from the body to reestablish a - possibly mystical - union of soul and cosmos and an assertion of the mind's omnipotence appear to be common features of forms of behaviour that seem to be taken for granted in contemporary thought. Is the new misogyny, which rejects motherhood in the name of feminism, contributing in any way to these trends? This review of our society by a woman psychoanalyst - a non-medic and graduate of the Institut d'Etudes Politiques in Paris - presents a sharp and rigorous analysis of the strange and violent mechanisms that are erupting in the world today.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49706905370897,"sku":"GOR011388296","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53073503781137,"sku":"NLS9781853437090","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1853437093.jpg?v=1751155618"},{"product_id":"sexuality-and-mind-book-janine-chasseguet-smirgel-9780946439751","title":"Sexuality and Mind","description":"This book examine the role of the Oedipus complex in the psyche and relate it to urgent issues of social and cultural life, historical and current.\"Freud and Female Sexuality\" (1975), the first paper included in the present collection, resulted from the debate which followed on the publication of Female Sexuality.

First published in France as Recherches psychanalytiques nouvelles sur la sexualite feminine, the book consists of six major essays and a comprehensive introduction which reviews the various approaches to the subject.  Freudian and non-Freudian views on female sexuality are carefully examined, thus providing a valuable perspective from which to view the authors' subsequent discussions.\"The present authors,\" writes Dr J. Chasseguet-Smirgel in her introduction, \"have attempted as far as possible to free their theoretical ideas and their clinical interpretations from the unconscious fantasies which distort scientific objectivity.\"Christian David thus uses a clinical history to study masculine myths about femininity; Catherine Luquet-Parat attributes an important role to female masochism in the young girl's \"change of object\"; Bela Grunberger examines the origins of female narcissism; Joyce McDougall shows that female homosexuality must be integrated to achieve a harmonious feminine nature; and Maria Torok gives  masculinity wishes and penis-envy a new role and meaning.In the last essay in this significant work, Janine Chasseguet-Smirgel - a training analyst of the French Psychoanalytic Association - describes the young girl's relationship with her father and discusses the aspects of this relationship which contribute an important dimension to female guilt.Female Sexuality: New Psychoanalytic Views helps fill a long-apparent need for authorative analyses in this area of growing interest.Contributors: Janine Chasseguet-Smirgel, Catherine Luquet-Parat, Bela Grunberger, Joyce McDougall, Maria Torok, and Christian David","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51449465340177,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51449465405713,"sku":"CIN0946439141G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0946439141.jpg?v=1751202507"},{"product_id":"freud-or-reich-book-janine-chasseguet-smirgel-9780946960316","title":"Freud or Reich?","description":"This book presents a critique of several of the 'Freudo-Marxisms' - Marcuse, Reich, Deleuze and Guattari's Anti-Oedipus - based on the argument that each adopts a mistaken view of the unconscious, and distorts the Freudian theory of psychoanalysis in the interests of illusion.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52683525128465,"sku":"NLS9780946960316","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780946960316.jpg?v=1762320870"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-janine-chasseguet-smirgel.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
