Roland examines the theoretical issues involved in developing a multicultural psychoanalysis, and then looks at the interface between Asian-Americans and other Americans, discussing the frequent dissonances, miscommunications, and misunderstandings that result from each coming from vastly different cultural and psychological realms.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50350867185937,"sku":"CIN0415914795G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52522019881233,"sku":"NLS9780415914796","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53366368960785,"sku":"NIN9780415914796","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0415914795.jpg?v=1751134320"},{"product_id":"guardsman-rare-book-alan-roland-1728638275rri","title":"Guardsman","description":"1955.

For those treating artists, or those who want to bring greater understanding of the creative process into their consciousness, this book is indispensable′ - Psychologist-Psychoanalyst Newsletter    Alan Roland is both a highly respected psychoanalyst and an exhibiting artist, giving him a fresh perspective on psychoanalytic studies of art and the artist. Here he argues for an interdisciplinary integration of psychoanalysis with art and artistic criticism, and against the reductionism of applied psychoanalysis.      Exploring the artistic process and the concept of the artistic self in terms of self-objects and transformational objects, Roland challenges the basic assumption of applied psychoanalysis - that the work of art is a dream or daydream expressed within a formal aesthetic framework. Written in an accessible, non-technical style, this book will appeal to anyone with an interest in psychoanalytic criticism or psychoanalytical theories of dreams and creativity.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52145522704657,"sku":"NLS9780826455666","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780826455666.jpg?v=1757594015"},{"product_id":"creative-dissent-book-alan-roland-9780275980610","title":"Creative Dissent","description":"Views dissenting from the status quo in psychoanalysis are presented in four areas: Psychoanalysis and Early Dissidents, The Psychoanalytic Process, Psychoanalysis and Culture, and Psychoanalysis and Religion. Authors introduce ideas on the analyst's freedom and imagination, the use of humor and play, and the importance of small talk, as well as new perspectives on understanding and working with trauma. The section on psychoanalysis and culture addresses an area rarely considered in psychoanalysis today, regardless of theoretical model. As the global culture becomes more salient, clinicians can ignore the issues of culture with a diversity of patients only to their detriment. The volume's final attention to psychoanalysis and religion frames a new paradigm for understanding mysticism and the relationship to psychopathology to spiritual disciplines and experiences.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52404060651793,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52404061274385,"sku":"NLS9780275980610","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780275980610.jpg?v=1758763130"},{"product_id":"dreams-and-drama-book-alan-roland-9780819566010","title":"Dreams and Drama","description":"In this bold new study, artist and psychoanalyst Alan Roland charts new pathways in psychoanalytic thinking about art and creativity. Grounded in clinical observations and the author's personal experiences as a visual artist and dramatist, Dreams and Drama revises long-held views in applied psychoanalysis and adds important new dimensions to clinical psychoanalytic thinking. Considering the use of imagery and symbolic expression in dreams and art, Roland argues against the pervasive assumption in applied psychoanalysis which posits art as the artist's daydream dressed in aesthetic clothes. Roland works against this reductive notion to show how both artistic and psychoanalytic endeavors are enriched when one considers the integration of primary and imaginative secondary processes of imagery and symbolization.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52413841277201,"sku":"GOR014519553","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780819566010.jpg?v=1758835622"},{"product_id":"in-search-of-self-in-india-and-japan-book-alan-roland-9780691086170","title":"In Search of Self in India and Japan","description":"\u003cp\u003eDrawing on work with Indian and Japanese patients, a prominent American psychoanalyst explores inner worlds that are markedly different from the Western psyche. A series of fascinating case studies illustrates Alan Roland's argument: the \"familial self,\" rooted in the subtle emotional hierarchical relationships of the family and group, predominates in Indian and Japanese psyches and contrasts strongly with the Western \"individualized self.\" In perceptive and sympathetic terms Roland describes the emotional problems that occur when Indians and Japanese encounter Western culture and the resulting successful integration of new patterns that he calls the \"expanding self.\" Of particular interest are descriptions of the special problems of women in changing society and of the paradoxical relationship of the \"spiritual self\" of Indians and Japanese to the \"familial self.?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Also described is Roland's own response to the broadening of his emotional and intellectual horizons as he talked to patients and supervised therapists in India and Japan. \"As we were coming in for a landing to Bombay,\" he writes, \"the plane banked so sharply that when I supposedly looked down all I could see were the stars, while if I looked up, there were the lights of the city.\" This is the \"world turned upside down\" that he describes so eloquently in this book.
