Despite being one of the foremost psychoanalysts working today, much of Andre Green's work has until recently been unavailable in English. This work aims to rectify this, by collecting together five lectures given to the Squiggle Foundation in London. This accessible and clearly written book provides a unique introduction to Green's work and its relation to the work of D.W. Winnicott, as promoted by the Squiggle Foundation itself.

The Squiggle Foundation has as its goal 'to study and cultivate the tradition of D.W. Winnicott', and has achieved an international reputation in doing so. Dr Green's lectures touch particularly on the links between his thought and that of Winnicott - as can be seen from the lecture titles: 'Experience and Thinking in Analytic Practice', 'Objects(s) and Subject', 'On Thirdness', 'The Posthumous Winnicott: On Human Nature', and 'The Intuition of the Negative Playing and Reality'. The book also contains an Introduction by Jan Abram, setting out the main currents of Green's thought, and describing his long and fruitful relationship with the Squiggle Foundation.

Clearly written and easily understood, the lectures provide a unique introduction to the work of Green and Winnicott, two of the foremost practitioners and authors that psychoanalysis has produced.

The third book in the Winnicott Clinic Lecture Series contains a lecture from Professor Andre Green on Winnicott's theory on play. He discusses Winnicott's view on the importance of play and then moves on to presenting his own, somewhat contradictory, view on it. Professor Green provides an innovative and provocative perspective on the subject, inviting people to think independently rather than accepting theories already laid out for them.

The Tragic Effect: The Oedipus Complex in Tragedy by Andre Green

Buy The Tragic Effect here.

In this stimulating and wide-ranging 1979 study, André Green, the eminent French psychoanalyst, demonstrates the relevance of psychoanalysis to literary criticism. He interprets the Freudian theory of the Oedipus complex - in its 'negative' aspect of male hostility towards the female - in several of the great European tragedies, including Aeschlyus' Oresteia (where the son kills the mother), Shakespeare's Othello (where the husband kills the wife) and Racine's Iphigégenie à Aulis (where the father kills the daughter), as well as Sophocles' Oedipodeia. Green sheds light on such important literary and psychoanalytic questions as the stage's kinship with phantasy, glorified in Artaud's theatre; those devices through which the spectator's unconscious may be affected; the family's privileged position at the centre of the 'tragic space'; the points at which modern structuralist thought fails; and the different perspectives exploring the Oedipus myth and Freud's interpretation of it. This will interest psychologists, anthropologists, and readers of literary debate.

Illusions and Disillusions of Psychoanalytic Work by Andre Green

Buy Illusions and Disillusions of Psychoanalytic Work here.

Illusions and Disillusions of Psychoanalytic Work recounts and explores the disappointing and sometimes tragic evolutions of the treatments of certain patients who are resistant to the effects of analytic work. In this book Andre Green reports cases taken from his own experience and that of his collaborators. He points out moreover, that such cases have never been absent from the series of analysands that he has treated, from the early days of his practice up until today, without minimizing his counter-transference reactions or their possible impact on these disappointing evolutions.

Key Ideas for a Contemporary Psychoanalysis: Misrecognition and Recognition of the Unconscious by Andre Green

Buy Key Ideas for a Contemporary Psychoanalysis here.

André Green attempts the complex task of identifying and examining the key ideas for a contemporary psychoanalytic practice.

This undertaking is motivated both by the need for an outline of the evolution of psychoanalysis since Freud's death, and by the hope of tackling the fragmentation which has led to the current 'crisis of psychoanalysis'.

In three sections covering the theoretical and practical aspects of psychoanalysis, and analysing the current state of the field, André Green provides a stimulating overview of the principal concepts that have guided his work. Subjects covered include:

• Transference and countertransference
• Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy: modalities and results
• Language-speech-discourse in psychoanalysis
• Recognition of the unconscious

This unique contemporary perspective on the psychoanalytic enterprise will fascinate all those with an interest in the problems that face the field and the opportunities for its future development.
 

The Fabric of Affect in the Psychoanalytic Discourse by Andre Green

Buy The Fabric of Affect in the Psychoanalytic Discourse here.

The Fabric of Affect in the Psychoanalytic Discourse is a seminal work on one of the most neglected topics in psychoanalysis, that of affect. Originally published in French as Le Discours Vivant, and by one of the most distinguished living analysts, the book is structured in three parts:

• Affect within psychoanalytic literature
• Clinical practice of psychoanalysis: structure and process
• Theoretical study: affect, language and discourse; negative hallucination

Written in a clear, lucid style, connecting theory to both culture and clinical practice, this book will appeal to psychoanalysts and psychotherapists, and also to those involved in cultural studies.
