In Listening Subjects, David Schwarz uses psychoanalytic techniques to probe the visceral experiences of music listeners. Using classical, popular, and avant-garde music as texts, Schwarz addresses intriguing questions: why do bodies develop goose bumps when listening to music and why does music sound so good when heard "all around?" By concentrating on music as cultural artifact, Listening Subjects shows how the historical conditions under which music is created affect the listening experience....
Wittgenstein and Psychoanalysis (Postmodern Encounters)
by John Heaton
Sigmund Freud and Ludwig Wittgenstein were contemporaries. Freud created psychoanalysis, and Wittgenstein was perhaps the greatest 20th century philosopher. Both thinkers are essentially concerned with our inveterate tendency to deceive ourselves. Freud approaches this problem from a psychiatric angle - the cure of neurosis, psychosis, perversion and so on. He assumes that his readers can see through the self-deceptions of the neurotics he describes. Wittgenstein, on the other hand, takes an iro...

Ouvrez-Moi Seulement Les Chemins d'Armenie (Confluents Psychanalytiques)
by Janine Altounian
This look at today's revolutions in psychoanalytic thought and practice is by a central figure in the modernization of psychoanalysis, Stephen A. Mitchell. The book shows how the field is moving beyond the confines of Freudian drive theory to encompass the wishes and needs of both analyst and analysand. The tensions and reconciliations between them - "hopes and dreads" - become the medium for change.
Early in his life, Carl Gustav Jung was an admirer and protege of Freud, but after their celebrated quarrel he became his enemy and rival.

This biography portray...
