In this thought-provoking book, Celine Maroudas presents an intriguing psychoanalytic reappraisal of middle childhood. She re-examines both developmental theory and psychodynamic approaches to psychotherapy with this age group, exploring in particular the therapeutic power of games and play therapy in a psychoanalytic setting. This book offers a comprehensive review of classic and contemporary views of development in middle childhood, from a historical, philosophical, and psychoanalytic perspective, calling into question the classical psychoanalytic concept of the latency period. Throughout, Maroudas highlights the emotional turbulence, psychic complexity, and momentous cognitive and psychosocial development of this critical stage of child development. She argues for a shift in psychodynamic thinking on middle childhood from an emphasis on rigidity, structure, and psychosocial dormancy to a focus on flux, change, and psychic fragility. Maroudas goes on to consider why school-aged children intuitively prefer playing games with rules and boundaries, and looks at how these games might be used as a safe, developmentally appropriate analytic technique for expressing and exploring violent and visceral anxieties, impulses and passions. Through moving clinical examples and incisive clinical thinking, she shows how these games can serve as a developmentally appropriate framing structure for expressing and exploring the child’s inner world, alongside the vicissitudes of the transference-countertransference matrix. Offering a recalibration of the technique and language of child analytic treatment to better fit the unique challenges and needs of middle childhood, Child Psychotherapy and the Games Children Play provides psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, clinical psychologists, and educators with vital new insights into this critical stage of child development.

Who believes in conspiracy theories, and why are some people more susceptible to them than others? What are the consequences of such beliefs? Has a conspiracy theory ever turned out to be true? The Psychology of Conspiracy Theories debunks the myth that conspiracy theories are a modern phenomenon, exploring their broad social contexts, from politics to the workplace.

This book offers a comprehensive and systematic—rather than historical—approach to ancient Greek oracular texts, showing their conceptual and formal unity and patternization, as well as their meaningful diversity. It provides even coverage of both oracular texts ascribed to major institutions, including Delphi, Dodona, Didyma, Clarus, and Abonoteichus, and those attributed to mythical poets such as the Sibyl, Bacis, and Musaeus. Chapters analyse the metre and phraseology of the texts and how they were recorded, transmitted, archived, and collected, as well as their narrative functions and authors. It also takes into account the later reception of Greek oracular texts: ‘theological oracles’; epigraphically attested lot oracles (dice and alphabet oracles); three extant Greek oracular texts which survived from the Libri Sibyllini of the Roman Republic; adoptions into—or imitations in—Latin literature of Greek oracular texts. With a lengthy appendix offering relevant texts in ancient Greek and English, readers gain a fuller understanding of the linguistic nuances and conventions of such texts and their place in the wider corpus of Greek literature. The volume provides a fascinating resource and reassessment of oracular texts, suitable for students and scholars working on Greek and Roman oracles, divination, and ancient religion more broadly, as well as classicists, archaeologists, theologians, and epigraphists.

This book presents an overview of present-day psychoanalytic thinking about the perverse spectrum: perverse thinking (disavowing reality), perverse modes of relating (manipulating others for one’s own gain at the other’s expense), and perverse character structure (toying with another’s sense of reality), culminating in a clinical exploration of the challenges associated with treating patients who manifest perverse transference reactions. Stoller’s contested theories about gender identity, sexual fantasy, and perversity constitute a model of male psychological development that contradicts Freud’s belief about the advantages of being born male. When a boy realizes his body differs from that of his mother, noted Stoller, the boy ceases to feel as close to her as he once felt, which is a calamity the boy must bear and mourn. The boy’s burgeoning sense of superiority, associated with the phallic narcissistic stage of development, helps counter the loss. Fixation at this stage is not the norm as Stoller had imagined, rather it helps account for what is colloquially referred to as “toxic masculinity.” The task of individuating from mother colors a man’s subsequent relationships with women, beginning with the boy’s efforts to break free of mother followed by a subsequent struggle against the urge to be reunited with the primal mother, which contributes to men’s dread of women. Rereading Stoller challenges present-day thinking about gender and gender identity, and it clarifies the role objectification/fetishization, sexualization, and perversity play in the lives of men—the extent male fantasy is tinged with hostility. With fascinating clinical vignettes and a deep understanding of the source material, this is key reading for psychoanalysts and psychotherapists working with men.
