Editat de Amita Sehgalen Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 mai 2018

Recenzii
"In tracing the phenomenon of sadomasochism across the lifespan, from childhood to old age, this important book illuminates an aspect of the human psyche that is much in need of rigorous exploration and understanding. Focusing on the developmental roots of sadomasochistic relating, the chapters explore the dynamics of sadism in individuals, couples and families. The different authors’ contributions cohere around a depth psychological perspective and an engaging clinical focus, making this a book that will be invaluable for clinicians and lay readers alike, and which will remain a significant resource for the field for years to come."-Andrew Balfour, Chief Executive, Tavistock Relationships, London.
"This terrific book offers the most thorough look at sadism throughout the life cycle that I know of. In this age in which the media popularizes sadism and perversion, our field needs solid, thoughtful examinations of the clinical situations that present to us in order to counter the perverse celebration of emotional and sexual cruelty. This is the book we must turn to in order to sharpen our senses and enlarge our clinical thinking."-David E. Scharff, MD. Former Director, International Psychotherapy Institute, Washington, DC. USA; Chair, International Psychoanalytic Association’s Committee on Family and Couple Psychoanalysis.
"This collection of papers interrogates the often used and regularly misunderstood concept of sadism. Employing a psychoanalytic and developmental perspective, the interpersonal nature of sadism, with its roots in the anxieties and vulnerabilities of dependence, is emphasised. As a result, this understanding informs a more nuanced approach to considering that sometimes the initially disturbing enactments may be driven by developmental urges rather than simply being destructive forces."-Stanley Ruszczynski, Clinical Director (1995-2016) and Consultant Adult Psychotherapist, Portman Clinic, London.
"Family lawyers will encounter sadism in their work with separating and divorcing clients. This book draws out the relational and family aspect of sadism and is composed of a remarkable collection of contributions by leading mental health professionals. It is relevant not just for psychotherapists but makes a fascinating read for family lawyers too, enabling us to think about how sadism can manifest in our professional lives; helping us cater for its presence, understanding our clients and their spouses and enabling us to seek expert help where needed."-Gillian Bishop, Director, Family Law in Partnership Ltd, London.

Descriere
This book does not seek to provide an explanation or a theory of sadomasochism. Instead, Sadism: Psychoanalytic Developmental Perspectives offers a thinking space in which we might further our understanding of the developmental origins of sadomasochistic relating and how this can manifest at different life-stages.
