Exploring the Emotional Life of the Mind by Danil Helderman

Exploring the Emotional Life of the Mind by Danil Helderman

This highly innovative new book reconsiders the structure of basic emotions, self and mind. It clinically covers mental disorders, therapeutic interventions, defense mechanisms, consciousness and personality, and results in a comprehensive discussion of human responses to the environmental crisis.

"We work above all with feelings, so it is remarkable how undeveloped Freud's theory of emotion wasThis book integrates everything we have learnt in the intervening century, in a new theory that clinicians will find immediately useful and practical." - Prof. Mark Solms, neuropsychologist and psychoanalyst; author of The Hidden Spring: A journey to the source of consciousness

"Living near a river, my parents told me to keep away from the maelstrom. I, however, invite you to dive into Daniel Helderman’s Maelstrom model of basic emotions. He stirs up familiar psychodynamic concepts and connects them with contemporary insights into personality, mind, and consciousness. This book is a stimulating read and might challenge you to reconsider your way of working with emotions and the self." - Prof. Frans Schalkwijk, psychoanalyst; author of The Conscience and Self-Conscious Emotions in Adolescence: An integrative approach

"The [Maelstrom] model is an attempt to bring order out of what may feel like chaos for both patient and clinician, most especially in the here-and-now of a session. The intention is that potentially overwhelming experience may be thought about so that the therapeutic couple can gather fragmented parts of emotions, then make meaning together. This enables the clinician to mentalise and discern patterns. Thus, the model is offered as a template to bring calm out of a storm." - Jennie Hogan, in Psychodynamic Practice: Individuals, groups and organisations
