Beatrice Beebe’s groundbreaking research on mother-infant communication has influenced practitioners for decades. Here she presents frame-by-frame analysis of illustrations of mother-infant interaction, identifying patterns of attachment exhibited in the micro-moments of real time.

In psychoanalysis, enlivenment is seen as residing in a sense of self, and this sense of self is drawn from and shaped by lived experience. Enlivening the Self: The First Year, Clinical Enrichment, and the Wandering Mind describes the vitalizing and enrichment of self-experience throughout the life cycle and shows how active experience draws on many fundamental functional capacities, and these capacities come together in support of systems of motivation; that is, organized dynamic grouping of affects, intentions, and goals.The book is divided into three essays:Infancy – Joseph Lichtenberg presents extensive reviews of observation and research on the first year of life. Based on these reviews, he delineates twelve foundational qualities and capacities of the self as a doer doing, initiating and responding, activating and taking in.Exploratory therapy – James L. Fosshage looks where therapeutic change is entwined with development. There are many sources illustrated for enhancing the sense of self, and Frank M. Lachmann pays particular attention to humor and to the role that the twelve qualities and capacities play in the therapeutic process.The wandering mind – Frank M. Lachmann covers the neuroscience and observation that "mind wandering" is related to the immediacy of the sense of self linking now with past and future.Throughout the book the authors’ arguments are illustrated with rich clinical vignettes and suggestions for clinical practice. This title will be a must for psychoanalysts, including trainees in psychoanalysis, psychiatry residents and candidates at psychoanalytic institutes and also graduate students in clinical and counselling psychology programs.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Musikwissenschaft, Note: 2,3, Universitat der Kunste Berlin, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Es ist unmoglich, nicht zu kommunizieren, lautet sinngema Paul Watzlawicks sogenanntes "metakommunikatives Axiom." Ubertragen auf Sound Studies bzw. "Akustische Kommunikation," ware also auf tonaler (akustischer) Ebene die entsprechende Form der Nicht-Kommunikation - die Stille - eben auch eine Form der Kommunikation, nur offenbar eine bisher selten untersuchte. In der vorliegenden Arbeit soll nun auf drei unterschiedliche Arten versucht werden, jeweils eine neue bzw. originellere Herangehensweise an dieses Phanomen, an diese besondere Form der akustischen Kommunikation, zu wagen. Die Arbeit ist inhaltlich eher als Sammlung von Texten und Textarten konzipiert, soll in ihrer Gesamtheit also weder rein wissenschaftlich noch ausschlielich essayistisch funktionieren, sondern vielmehr einen Eindruck, ein Gefuhl, eine Empfindung vermitteln daruber, was ihr Anliegen ist.
