"In this volume, Dr. Henry Kellerman has constructed a lens through which the inner working of psychological symptoms can be clearly seen. Along with this he has proposed a code for unraveling such symptoms. He then carefully applies this symptom-code, in detail, to a wide variety of symptoms. This is an important psychoanalytic work; and elegant conception, elegantly presented." -- Harry Sands, Ph.D., Founder and Executive Editor, Journal of Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis; and Former President, New York State Psychological Association "In a compelling theoretical synthesis, Dr. Kellerman proposes that the only phenomenon in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy subject to cure is the patient's psychological symptom. All else is helping the patient struggle better. An X-ray of the symptom is developed and a method to efficiently penetrate the symptom is demonstrated. The important contribution here is that Kellerman has distilled the four basic elements that comprise a symptom-code -- a universal key that unlocks symptoms. I believe this work is a tour de force, and constitutes a classic advance psychoanalytic understanding." -- Vincenzo Conigliaro, M.D., Dean and Medical Director, Training Institute for Mental Health "Dr. Kellerman introduces a system called the symptom-code that enables clinicians to understand and treate a wide variety of debilitating symptoms. Much of Dr. Kellerman's case material reads like a detective story in which the symptom-code is applied and the meaning of the symptom becomes readily apparent. The reader will find these cases fascinating and the explanations given by Dr. Kellerman quite convincing." -- Mary Beth M. Cresci, Past President, Section of Psychologist/Psychoanalyst Practitioners In analysis, a particular symptom may be cured as a by-product of therapy, with neither the therapist nor the client knowing how the cure came about. But what if the therapist were armed with an analytically sound method, a "master key" for curing nearly all symptoms, regardless of client history? In The Psychoanalysis of Symptoms, Henry Kellerman introduces the symptom-code, a powerful blueprint for understanding and eliminating a wide variety of clients’ psychological and emotional symptoms. This time-efficient method synthesizes knowledge of symptoms found throughout the psychiatric literature, empowering both analyst and client to larger underlying conflicts. The author demonstrates the procedure in step-by-step detail, with case examples that distinguish between curable symptoms and more ego-entrenched forms that can be diminished but not completely erased. Included in this volume: The symptom-code: theoretical, scientific, and clinical contexts. Symptom-code procedures applied at different stages of symptom development. Accessible symptoms: the method used in treating obsessions, intrusive thoughts, migraines, compulsions, and agoraphobia. Treatment-resistant symptoms: uses of the method in cases of anorexia, hoarding, dissociative disorder, and more. Is it a symptom or a character trait? Personality issues and the symptom-code. The migration of symptoms in the psyche. In presenting a symptom-cure methodology that is effective, lasting, and brief, The Psychoanalysis of Symptoms offers analysts a straighter path on each client’s unique journey.

The debate between theist and atheist is an old one and has recently become a highly publicized one. There are some well known proponents of arguments on both sides. To provide a different perspective this book takes a psychoanalytically based evolutionary view, presenting an entirely original theoretical concept.  It introduces an epigenetic component to the discussion of God/no God within the context of evolutionary processes at the point where a thinking brain appears -- a cerebral cortex characteristic of homosapien. Therefore, it joins evolutionary phenomena with psychological realities for survival and safety, for empowerment and the absence of disempowerment. Research is cited to show that such instinctive survival behavior involves several prototypical behavioral categories relevant to all organisms from amoeba to man.             Freud, Darwin, Gould, and the major historical figures of the God/no God debate are included throughout, and the point is made that environmental conditions can produce biological effects and this is the essence of the proposed epigenetical context of the debate. Therefore, this volume concerns itself with exploring the question of whether there is a God-gene or whether God is discovered epigentically in a psycho/evolutionary context.  In either case, this book does not argue for the existence or non-existence of God. Rather, it introduces a new dimension to the debate − a psycho/evolutionary one. .

For all our knowledge of psychopathology and sociopathology--and despite endless examinations of abuse and torture, mass murder and genocide--we still don't have a real handle on why evil exists, where it derives from, or why it is so ubiquitous. A compelling synthesis of diverse schools of thought, Psychoanalysis of Evil identifies the mental infrastructure of evil and deciphers its path from vile intent to malignant deeds. Evil is defined as manufactured in the psyche: the acting out of repressed wishes stemming from a toxic mix of harmful early experiences such as abuse and neglect, profound anger, negative personality factors, and mechanisms such as projection. This analysis brings startling clarity to seemingly familiar territory, that is, persons and events widely perceived as evil. Strongly implied in this far-reaching understanding is a call for more accurate forms of intervention and prevention as the author: Reviews representations of evil from theological, philosophical, and psychoanalytic sources. Locates the construction of evil in psychodynamic aspects of the psyche. Translates vague abstractions of evil into recognizable concepts. Exemplifies this theory with the lives and atrocities of Hitler and Stalin. Applies psychoanalytic perspective to the genocides in Turkey, Pakistan, Cambodia, and Rwanda. Revisits Hannah Arendt's concept of "the banality of evil." Psychoanalysis of Evil holds a unique position in the literature and will gather considerable interest among readers in social psychology, psychoanalysis, sociology, and political anthropology. Historians of mass conflict should find it instructive as well.
