Smith, Roger, Modern Soul Experience in Psychology and Philosophy. 202 pp. 2026:3 (Routledge, UK) <761-79>
ISBN 978-1-041-22128-9 hard ¥46,035.- (税込) GB￡ 155.00

This interdisciplinary work examines the implicit role of "soul" in modern psychological discourse and human experience despite its apparent obsolescence in scientific contexts. The book presents a comprehensive exploration of soul discourse across six chapters: introducing the book's scope and arguments; analyzing contemporary references to soul in everyday speech and literature with special attention to African-American contributions; examining historical discussions and scientific dismissals of soul; connecting past and present usage to psychological practices centered on self rather than soul; offering a comparative overview of soul concepts across cultural traditions; and arguing for the value of soul-talk in sustaining meaningful discourse about human worth in an era of posthumanism, vital materialism, and artificial intelligence. Written from a secular perspective, the work conceptualizes soul as performative rather than substantive-doing things and enabling experiences rather than existing as a metaphysical entity-and draws from psychology, philosophy, intellectual history, literature, and religious studies while avoiding disciplinary jargon. This work will be of interest to psychological therapists, mental health practitioners, caregivers, scholars in psychology and philosophy, and general readers interested in the intersection of psychology and human experience.

Dyer, Allen R., Madness and the Political Divide. (Psychoanalysis, Technology, and the Future) 152 pp. 2026:1 (Routledge, UK) <761-798>
ISBN 978-1-032-95934-4 hard ¥16,331.- (税込) GB￡ 54.99

Madness and the Political Divide draws on psychiatry and ethics in an attempt to understand and bridge the political divide.Allen R. Dyer explores meanings of "madness" in different contexts, from the medical world to a contemporary society of "alternate realities." Underlying the denial of reality is the fear of unpleasant realities: existential threats such as global climate change, pandemics, and war increase anxiety and our vulnerability to the false promises of authoritarian leadership and to the erosion of democracy. With reference to psychoanalytic theory, psychology, ethics, and philosophy, Dyer explores how we can balance emotions with reasoned action, not overwhelmed by fear nor underwhelmed by denial.Madness and the Political Divide will be of great interest to psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, and those in other mental health disciplines. It will be highly relevant for academics and scholars in philosophy, history, and literature, and for readers interested in ethics, justice, and human values.

In Psychoanalysis and Catholicism: From Freud to Francis, Adam J. Schneider explores the censored history of psychoanalysis by the Catholic Church, reopening dialogue on key overlapping concepts to address contemporary needs.This book is organized into three parts. First, Schneider explores the historical relationship between psychoanalysis and the Church through key figures such as Sigmund Freud and Pope Pius XII. He then brings into conversation significant theological doctrines and psychoanalytic concepts including censorship/repression, original sin/unconscious desire, and the power of speech as examples of the fruitfulness of this dialogue. Finally, he applies theory and theology to contemporary issues like priestly and psychoanalytic formation and synodality within Lacan's four discourses. Schneider centers Pope Francis, whose papacy was a pastoral practice which reflected psychoanalytic ethics, as an orienting influence throughout the text.Psychoanalysis and Catholicism will be of interest to readers seeking to understand how psychoanalysis and Catholicism edify one another, and how to apply these insights to clinical settings, seminary formation, and parish life.

A Contemporary Return to the Lacanian Mirror is a discussion on The Mirror Stage as Formative of the I Function as Revealed in Psychoanalytic Experience, a capital text within Lacanian thought and psychoanalytic history.Drawing on Freudian and Lacanian concepts, Sergio J. Aguilar Alcala explores the consequences of the mirror stage for human subjectivity: an alienation of any remains of animal nature, an aggressive drive at the heart of our relationship to others and to ourselves and an introjection of the desire of the other as our own desire. These consequences allow for a critique of, among other things, the test zoologists use to 'prove' that animals can recognize themselves in the mirror, the notions of 'freedom' and 'agency' that mainstream communication and media studies ascribe to selfies on social media, and the neoliberal uses of labor psychology and identity politics to flatten the intricacies and contradictions within our/selves. The book begins with consideration of the imago and identification, then discusses the consequences of Lacan's three crossroads for our conception of human subjectivity. Aguilar Alcala concludes by discussing how the Lacanian mirror stage enables us to go beyond the Imaginary traps provoked by today's media and cultural landscape, using the aphorism mentioned at the end of the mirror stage text: thou art that.A Contemporary Return to the Lacanian Mirror will be of great interest to academics and scholars of psychoanalytic studies, communication and media studies. It will also appeal to those working within the humanities, and specifically in the philosophy of the human-animal relationship, images in digital culture and critical theory.

Gravitational Psyche draws on ideas from physics, psychoanalysis, and philosophy, to propose a radical reframing of how subjectivity is structured and sustained.What if the psyche, like the cosmos, is governed by invisible curves and recursive loops? Exploring how symbolic atmosphere, affective orbit, and curved epistemologies shape experience from the ground up, this volume integrates psychoanalytic theory with metaphors drawn from physics, nonduality, and recursive form. It develops a topological and recursive framework for analytic practice: the mind as a curved field, shaped by symbolic tension, relational mass, and recursive returns. Anderson presents the psyche not as a static structure but as a gravitational space, where repetition, collapse, and atmosphere reveal the curved nature of subjectivity. It further equips readers to orient, listen, and intervene where language thins, helping analysis preserve vitality without forcing premature coherence. This book offers readers a fresh vocabulary for working at the edge of symbolization.Bridging theory and practice with vivid clinical illustrations, conceptual maps, and a study guide designed to support teaching and supervision, this book is key reading for all psychoanalysts and psychotherapists.

Why do people believe the unbelievable? Why do fictional ideas so often inspire real-world action-sometimes joyful, sometimes destructive-while the people inspired by them never recognize that they are fictional? In Imaginary Realities, Jeffrey Jensen Arnett explores the psychological and cultural forces that lead people to embrace beliefs that defy logic yet shape lives, societies, and history. From religious and magical thinking to conspiracy theories and superstitions, Arnett reveals how these "imaginary realities" help us make sense of a chaotic world and why we adhere to them even when they mislead us. This groundbreaking book examines the psychological roots of irrational beliefs and how they soothe anxiety and foster social cohesion; how they underlie the double-edged sword of moral egoism, which motivates many of our best and worst behavior; the surprising role of imaginary realities in joy, humor, and group celebration; and the looming threats posed by modern myths surrounding AI, ecological collapse, and genetic engineering. With clarity, insight, and cultural depth, Imaginary Realities challenges readers to rethink what we believe and why.

Barratt's critical analysis of prevailing theories and alternative methods, such as somatic and shamanic practices, highlights the unparalleled ability of free association to reinvigorate psychic energies and existential freedom.This book is a vital resource for psychoanalysts in training and practice, and anyone deeply curious about the human psyche. It is also a valuable tool for instructors and researchers in psychoanalysis, psychotherapy and related fields.

Biopsychology & Your Mind explains the way your mind works - and why it sometimes doesn't. The key is your mental mechanics: molecular, neural, and biological mechanisms.This book explores the unexpected properties of thoughts, feelings, emotions, and actions, examining phenomena such as blindsight, associative learning, intact memory in amnesia, and dreaming during sleep. Using evolutionary biopsychology as a framework, it addresses fundamental questions: What constitutes an emotion? How do thoughts and emotions interact? The text reveals how evolution has shaped our mental mechanics to seek adaptive balances, often switching between extremes depending on current circumstances. Mental disorders are presented as otherwise adaptive reactions that are occurring either in unusually extreme situations or within systems that are unusually reactive. The book demonstrates how evolutionary pressures have created mental systems that rapidly change between states, seeking optimal responses rather than fixed solutions.This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand mental machinery and psychological disorders. Detailed notes, references, and technical sections also make it an ideal companion for all students of biopsychology.

Across the world, most people are religious or spiritual, and many have a strong relational-emotional bond (attachment relationship) with God(s). This Element summarizes social-scientific theory and research on these relationships. Part I outlines basic principles of attachment and religion/spirituality. Part II describes normative (human-universal) processes and patterns. It explains how God and other supernatural beings often serve as irreplaceable relational caregivers (attachment figures), safe havens, and secure bases for people. Then it examines how religious/spiritual development interacts with attachment maturation across the lifespan. Part III explores individual differences in human and religious/spiritual attachment. After describing human-attachment differences, it examines how such differences can manifest jointly in forms of emotionally/socially correspondent or emotionally compensatory human attachment and religion/spirituality. Part IV discusses applied theory and research on religious/spiritual attachment. It explores the relationship between religious/spiritual attachment and health/well-being and concludes discussing how transformation in religious/spiritual attachment can occur through psychospiritual intervention or healthy relationships.
