In The Trail to Tincup: Love Stories at Life's End, a psychologist reckons with the loss of four family members within a span of two years. Hocker works backward into the lives of these people and forward into the values, perspective, and qualities they bestowed before and after leaving. Following the trail to their common gravesite in Tincup, Colorado, she remembers and recounts decisive stories and delves into artifacts, journals, and her own dreams. In the process the grip of grief begins to lessen, death braids its way into life, and life informs the losses with abiding connections. Gradually, she begins to find herself capable of imagining life without her sister and best friend. Toward the end of the book Hocker's own near-death experience illuminates how familiarity with her individual mortality helps her live with joy, confidence, and openness.

"Mourning Freud analyses Freud's experiences and theories of mourning as the basis for exploring changes in psychoanalytic theories and practices over the course of the 20th century. The modernist Freud of the early 20th century has ceded to the postmodern Freud of the 21st. Madelon Sprengnether examines this phenomenon from the perspective of Freud's self-analysis in relation to his generation of theory, the challenges and transformations wrought by feminism, cultural studies and postmodernism, and the speculations of contemporary neuroscience concerning the unreliability of memory. She offers a significant interpretation of major biographical episodes in Freud's life, arguing that Freud's inability to mourn the losses of his early life shaped his theories of mourning, which in turn opened the field of pre-oedipal studies to his successors, enabling a host of new psychoanalytic theories such as object relations, intersubjective and countertransference theories, Lacanian analysis, and trauma theory. Many of these approaches converge on the formulation of mourning as critical to the process of ego development. Through this argument, Sprengnether traces the shift from modernism to postmodernism--from an emphasis on mastery to vulnerability, from vertical to horizontal systems of meaning-making, and from what is representable in words to the realm of the nonverbal. Mourning Freud, by exploring Freud's own struggles with mourning, allows us, in turn, to mourn him--releasing him from frozen idealization while demonstrating the relevance of his work to the 21st century."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Analyse de la solitude dans le contexte sociétal où la connexion permanente repousse les limites de l'isolement. Ce qui amène les huit thérapeutes à soulever la question de l'étroitesse du lien entre l'incapacité d'être seul et la nécessité de soutien psychologique. Electre 2018 Si le sentiment de solitude est universel, intemporel, il doit aussi être repensé au regard de l’actualité et des profondes mutations sociétales contemporaines. Qu’interpelle-t-il en chacun ? En quoi la situation analytique représente-t-elle un cadre privilégié pour en comprendre le sens et en traiter les effets ? Il est important de décrypter cet affect qui émerge au cœur de la séance analytique en s’interrogeant sur sa dimension de symptôme. S’associe-t-il à l’isolement, produit de nos individualismes ? Est-il avant tout corrélé à l’objet du deuil, à l’expérience de la séparation, renvoie-t-il à la mélancolie de l’humain, ou serait-ce encore une autre façon de parler de l’angoisse ? C’est sur ces voies de réflexion que s’engage cet ouvrage : que peut en dire le psychanalyste aujourd’hui ? La traversée que représente l’analyse pourrait être en lien avec ce travail psychique d’acceptation de « la capacité d’être seul ». Ce présent recueil éclaire d’un regard nouveau cette complexité par une diversité d’approches qui reflètent la dimension atemporelle et les formes plurielles de solitude que nous expérimentons tous. Chaque contribution témoigne d’un constant va-et-vient de la clinique à la théorie, en faisant aussi référence à la création littéraire
