The Psychic Life of Power: Theories in Subjection 1st Edition
Stanford University Press - 1997
As a form of power, subjection is paradoxical. To be dominated by a power external to oneself is a familiar and agonizing form power takes. To find, however, that what "one" is, one's very formation as a subject, is dependent upon that very power is quite another. If, following Foucault, we understand power as forming the subject as well, it provides the very condition of its existence and the trajectory of its desire. Power is not simply what we depend on for our existence but that which forms reflexivity as well. Drawing upon Hegel, Nietzsche, Freud, Foucault, and Althusser, this challenging and lucid work offers a theory of subject formation that illuminates as ambivalent the psychic effects of social power.
If we take Hegel and Nietzsche seriously, then the "inner life" of consciousness and, indeed, of conscience, not only is fabricated by power, but becomes one of the ways in which power is anchored in subjectivity. The author considers the way in which psychic life is generated by the social operation of power, and how that social operation of power is concealed and fortified by the psyche that it produces. Power is no longer understood to be "internalized" by an existing subject, but the subject is spawned as an ambivalent effect of power, one that is staged through the operation of conscience.
To claim that power fabricates the psyche is also to claim that there is a fictional and fabricated quality to the psyche. The figure of a psyche that "turns against itself" is crucial to this study, and offers an alternative to describing power as "internalized." Although most readers of Foucault eschew psychoanalytic theory, and most thinkers of the psyche eschew Foucault, the author seeks to theorize this ambivalent relation between the social and the psychic as one of the most dynamic and difficult effects of power.

Being homosexual; gay men and their development
Isay, Richard A.
DETALLE: EL EJEMPLAR PRESENTA ALGUNOS SUBRAYADOS EN LAPIZ
Abstract
Over the course of twenty years of working with gay men in analysis and therapy, Richard Isay has become convinced that homosexuality is not a mental illness; it is not deviant behavior, as the psychoanalytic establishment and our society continue to believe.
Though trained in traditional psychoanalytic theory, Richard Isay has come to a radically different way of working with gay men. He has determined that there is a natural developmental path that homosexuals follow which, as with heterosexuals, is fraught with predictable obstacles and crises. Clearing away the tangle of myths about homosexual behavior and its origins, Dr. Isay lays out that path. He also explores the nature of impediments to sustained and loving gay relationships, analyzing two of the most crippling: parental rejection and the internalization of Western society's extreme homophobia. Until there is social and legal change to support the expression of love and commitment between homosexuals, early psychological intervention may help homosexual children to build healthy self-esteem in the face of social stigmatization. Recently AIDS has aggravated that stigmatization, and "Being Homosexual" examines the profound impact it has had on gay men's development.
For therapists, this is a book that offers concrete guidance in working with homosexual men more effectively and with greater understanding. For gay men themselves, this is a clear and empathic account of their development and the conflicts and barriers they face. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
