When History Returns
Turns to theories and cultural representations of psychosocial life to reflect on, and better understand, the challenges of learning in times of social strife.
When History Returns brings together psychoanalytic theories of learning with the antinomies of social strife. From a psychoanalytic perspective, history returns through transitional scenes of inheriting a past one could not make, experiencing a present affected by what came before, and facing a future one can neither know nor predict. Taking such scenes as the subject of education, Deborah P. Britzman provides new approaches and vocabulary for conceptualizing experience and understanding, as expressed in psychoanalysis, literature, film, clinical case studies, and warm pedagogy. Britzman argues that novel quests for humane responsibility take hold in the fallout of understanding, in the feel of history, in imaginative dialogues and missed encounters, and in searches for friendship, belonging, and affiliation. Each chapter charts these quests in contemporary education, carrying readers into the heart of learning and the emotional situations that urge the transitions of difficult knowledge into care for thinking and the questions that follow.

MLADEN NIKOLOV - THE FIRST BULGARIAN PSYCHOANALYST
The article examines the life of Mladen Nikolov, a Bulgarian psychologist, whom I define as the first Bulgarian psychoanalyst. It is based on facts from preliminary studies, which may be supplemented subsequently. It describes his life and how his training in psychoanalysis came about. The report also discusses whether he can be considered a psychoanalyst, given the way he has been trained. A common mistake about his place of graduation in psychology is pointed out and corrected.

The New Dictionary of Kleinian Thought
The New Dictionary of Kleinian Thought provides a comprehensive and wholly accessible exposition of Kleinian ideas. Offering a thorough update of R.D. Hinshelwood’s highly acclaimed original, this book draws on the many developments in the field of Kleinian theory and practice since its publication.
The book first addresses twelve major themes of Kleinian psychoanalytic thinking in scholarly essays organised both historically and thematically. Themes discussed include:
unconscious phantasy, child analysis
the paranoid schizoid and depressive positions, the oedipus complex
projective identification, symbol formation.
Following this, entries are listed alphabetically, allowing the reader to find out about a particular theme - from Karl Abraham to Whole Object - and to delve as lightly or as deeply as needed. As such this book will be essential reading for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists as well as all those with an interest in Kleinian thought.
\"This wonderful new book by Elizabeth Bott Spillius, Jane Milton, Penelope Garvey, Cyril Couve, and Deborah Steiner provides us with a detailed exploration of Kleinian ideas. The book emerges from a framework that emphasizes the systematic refinement of basic concepts, the tie to Freud’s writings, and the adoption and subsequent elaboration of these ideas by other psychoanalytic schools. The New Dictionary of Kleinian Thought is an exemplar of clear thinking and impeccable research that offers the reader — whether a newcomer to the Kleinian model, or someone well schooled in this tradition — not only mere definitions of terminology, but also (and perhaps more important) a comprehensive appreciation of the impressive reach and depth of this line of thinking. ... This is a wonderful resource for those interested in a truly comprehensive explanation of Kleinian ideas, including their incubation, subsequent enhancement, and impact on the psychoanalytic world. The book deserves a special place on the shelves of analysts of all persuasions.\" - Lawrence J. Brown, The Psychoanalytic Quarterly

Affect-Focused Psychodynamic Internet-Based Therapy for Adolescent Depression: Randomized Controlled Trial
Adolescent depression is one of the largest health issues in the world and there is a pressing need for effective and accessible treatments.
This trial examines whether affect-focused internet-based psychodynamic therapy (IPDT) with therapist support is more effective than an internet-based supportive control condition on reducing depression in adolescents.
The trial included 76 adolescents (61/76, 80% female; mean age 16.6 years), self-referred via an open access website and fulfilling criteria for major depressive disorder. Adolescents were randomized to 8 weeks of IPDT (38/76, 50%) or supportive control (38/76, 50%). The primary outcome was self-reported depressive symptoms, measured with the Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology for Adolescents (QIDS-A17-SR). Secondary outcomes were anxiety severity, emotion regulation, self-compassion, and an additional depression measure. Assessments were made at baseline, postassessment, and at 6 months follow-up, in addition to weekly assessments of the primary outcome measure as well as emotion regulation during treatment.
IPDT was significantly more effective than the control condition in reducing depression (d=0.82, P=.01), the result of which was corroborated by the second depression measure (d=0.80, P<.001). IPDT was also significantly more effective in reducing anxiety (d=0.78, P<.001) and increasing emotion regulation (d=0.97, P<.001) and self-compassion (d=0.65, P=.003). Significantly more patients in the IPDT group compared to the control group met criteria for response (56% vs 21%, respectively) and remission (35% vs 8%, respectively). Results on depression and anxiety symptoms were stable at 6 months follow-up. On average, participants completed 5.8 (SD 2.4) of the 8 modules.
IPDT may be an effective intervention to reduce adolescent depression. Further research is needed, including comparisons with other treatments.

Dutch Post-war Fiction Film through a Lens of Psychoanalysis
Dutch Post-war Fiction Film through a Lens of Psychoanalysis is a sequel to Humour and Irony in Dutch Post-war Fiction Film (AUP, 2016), but the two studies can be read separately. Because of the sheer variety of Fons Rademakers' oeuvre, which spans 'art' cinema and cult, genre film and historical epics, each chapter will start with one of his titles to introduce a key concept from psychoanalysis. It is an oft-voiced claim that Dutch cinema strongly adheres to realism, but this idea is put into perspective by using psychoanalytic theories on desire and fantasy. In the vein of cinephilia, this study brings together canonical titles (Als twee druppels water; Soldaat van Oranje) and little gems (Monsieur Hawarden; Kracht). It juxtaposes among others Gluckauf and De vliegende Hollander (on father figures); Flanagan and Spoorloos (on rabbles and heroes); De aanslag and Leedvermaak (on historical traumas); and Antonia and Bluebird (on aphanisis).
