Cricket in India has evolved much beyond its fundamental definition as a game or form of entertainment in the present century. The liberalization process in the 1990s, followed by the drastic social changes in the country, impacted the game, leading it to acquire new meanings as cultural text. Currently, Indian cricket forms part of collective enjoyment, forming people's habitus and playing a central

The fantasies of money International Journal of Applied Psychoanalytic Studies Pub Date : 2024-01-04 Kenneth Eisold
We tend to think of money as concrete and simple, a thing, but in fact it is multi-faceted and complex, more symbolic than actual. In the modern world it has come to take such a variety of forms that economists can no longer define it. On the other hand, our reliance on it causes us to invest it with a stability it does not and, probably, cannot have. Our ideas about money are, essentially, social

Looking back into the future of psychoanalysis: A second chance International Journal of Applied Psychoanalytic Studies Pub Date : 2023-11-15 Juan Pablo Jiménez
During the twentieth century took place a “battle of paradigms” involving all disciplines that inform Psychiatry and Psychology. Basically, the dispute was about the respective contribution of science and hermeneutics in disciplinary paradigms. Psychoanalysis has not been absent from this battle; it is still debated whether psychoanalysis should be considered a scientific discipline or a hermeneutic

Existential issues in the fictional writing of haruki murakami International Journal of Applied Psychoanalytic Studies Pub Date : 2023-10-04 David Potik
Existential analyses of Murakami's fiction have dealt mostly with identity issues during adolescence and adulthood.

The myth of gender neutrality in family court: A clinician's perspective on determinations of “the best interest of the child” International Journal of Applied Psychoanalytic Studies Pub Date : 2023-09-16 Stephanie Brandt
Misogyny is a universal prejudice against women manifest in all areas of society. To interrogate the nature of this prejudice, the author uses the family court system as her focus. The myth of gender neutrality in family court is pervasive. Current laws are framed around the assumption that both parents are on a level playing field. The reality is that our legal system is biased against mothers. This

The enormously popular contemporary genre of televised police procedurals that feature a brilliant female detective reflects and reifies enduring misogynistic beliefs and attitudes that pervade the cultural fantasies and social mores of our time.

In response to the increase in ideological and non-ideological mass killings, mental health professionals are beginning to invest in prevention and intervention in violent radicalization situations.

Fashioning hate: Driving the runway of desire International Journal of Applied Psychoanalytic Studies Pub Date : 2023-08-13 David Goldenberg, Patrick Viersen Brown
Sexist and homophobic attitudes are an individual's expression of the dominant sociocultural position which endorses sexism and anti-homosexuality. We contend that misogyny and homophobia are pathological symptoms representing the internalization of these malignant social values. First, we explain that homosexuality (and other non-binary identities), though previously experiencing widespread condemnation

Between 1983 and 1989, the number of women in U.S. jails more than doubled and continues to increase. Most women behind bars have been victims of violence including childhood sexual abuse.

It is difficult for clinicians to study these

The implications of the Madonna/Whore Constellation: A common fantasy underlying misogyny? International Journal of Applied Psychoanalytic Studies Pub Date : 2023-08-07 Debra Japko
The Madonna/Whore Constellation of fantasies often underlies well-recognized and pervasive misogynistic attitudes in our culture. These common and disturbing ideas about women serve to validate continued societal acceptance of the degradation of those people who are identified as female. The author suggests that there is a dynamic connection between the often-unconscious Madonna/Whore complex of fantasies

Double jeopardy: The objectification of women as mothers International Journal of Applied Psychoanalytic Studies Pub Date : 2023-08-07 Alison M. Heru
Western societies exact a tall order on women who choose to have children. Western norms include an unspoken critique of working women: Are you someone who prioritizes paid work over child caregiving, or do you prioritize child caregiving over work? This double objectification of women who are mothers is their double jeopardy. Although there are multiple jeopardies for those who are not of the dominant

What would Freud have made of it? Notes on a “normal pathological organization” within contemporary psychoanalysis International Journal of Applied Psychoanalytic Studies Pub Date : 2023-07-08 Martin Kemp, Eliana Pinto
Psychoanalytic discourse in relation to the situation in historic Palestine is subject to both ideologically-based and anxiety-driven inhibitions and restrictions that conflict with the discipline’s claim to be able to “stay with” difficult issues, to “think the unthinkable”. This situation is understood as a social pathology, and its impacts are explored through a literature review (explaining the

Antisemitism has been a persistent and growing prejudice for millenniums against the Jewish people. This paper offers a general theory of group hatred appliable to antisemitism and other religious or racial prejudices. Theories of prejudice tend either to postulate an internal psychic template of hatred that is projected or postulate a social origin of hatred that is internalized. Rather there is a

There is an increasing tendency in the field to develop partnerships between schools and mental health (MH) clinics to address the MH needs of children in schools.

Breaching the frame: Psychoanalysis and sunset boulevard International Journal of Applied Psychoanalytic Studies Pub Date : 2023-02-02 Nilofer Kaul
Sunset Boulevard is a film that breaches the frames that cinema has conventionally used. It playfully satirises Hollywood with its silent era, its glossy nostalgia, its mystique that conceals its brittle cynicism. Norma Desmond is satirised but she is also the means by which Hollywood stands exposed. In many ways, the audience like Joe Gillis thinks they are in on the joke, till it turns against them

While it is absent as a physical entity, it commands and shapes the individual's psyche via language unconsciously. This paper provides a close reading of Martin McDonagh's The Pillowman to explore the ways everyone in the play is under the control of the discourse of the Other. To do so, this paper provides

Our understanding of the meaning of hoarding is still in development. Thematic readings of the literature suggest that hoarding involves a very distinctive way of understanding the world, with the act of acquiring and retaining of material comprising in a form of psychological home or safe space. The connection of the person to their hoard requires further exploration, as does the place that this relationship
