Recycling Madness with Jung, Spinoza and Santayana: The Collected Writings of Giles Clark - edited by Judith Pickering and Geoffrey Samuel
Craig San Roque will facilitate a conversation, on this rich, timeless and thought-provoking volume of Giles Clark’s (1947-2019) collected writings. Join Craig, Geoffrey Samuels and David Russell as they discuss their reactions and learnings from this valuable new collection.
Giles Clark’s original clinical theory constitutes a major contribution to the areas of analytical psychology, psychoanalysis and philosophy, and has influenced generations of professionals and trainees in England, Australia and many other countries.
His oeuvre covers important themes such as psychoanalysis as a deeply relational, mutually transformative and intersubjective endeavor; how, as wounded healers, analysts learn the art of recycling their own madness so as better to assist their patients; the clinical treatment of borderline and narcissistic disturbances and personality disorders; and psychosomatic issues as manifest and experienced in transference and countertransference relations in the analytic field. The book also explores the relevance of Spinoza, Santayana, Jung and German Romantic philosophers to analytical psychology and psychoanalysis, not merely in historical or theoretical terms but as a vital resource to guide clinical practice as demonstrated through a series of compelling case studies.
Craig San Roque, will facilitate and participate in a conversation with co-editor, Geoffrey Samuel, and well known Jungian psychologist and psychotherapist David Russell.
