This qualitative study investigated how psychodynamically-oriented supervisors experienced supervisory countertransference towards their supervisees and their understandings of this phenomenon. Seven supervisors located in the United Kingdom (UK) were recruited. Individual audio-recorded, semi-structured interviews were used to gather the participants’ subjective accounts of this phenomenon. Data was analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Most of the participants described experiencing supervisory countertransference towards supervisees who were not of the same gender as them. Although definitions of supervisory countertransference have linked this phenomenon to unresolved supervisor issues and blind spots, only one supervisor specifically referred to past experiences that shaped her supervisory countertransference response. Notably, some of the supervisors continued to be affected by their experiences many years after the supervision ended. The study’s findings underscored the importance of attending to and processing perturbing supervisory countertransference. Future research could explore the ways in which supervisory countertransference is shaped by gender dynamics and its contribution to supervisory discord.

‘A man lives not only his personal life as an individual, but also, consciously or unconsciously, the life of his epoch and his contemporaries’ (Mann, 1962/ 1924, p.32). In terms of its broad sweep of contemporary cultural concerns, compression of argument, and clarity of exposition, this is a deeply impressive book. It is also, I think, an important one. Its title is intended in memoriam of Freud’s psychosocial treatise Civilization and its Discontents. Freud’s book can be viewed as a contribution to an established literary and philosophical tradition on the social contract between rulers and their subjects. Writers such as Thomas Hobbes, John Locke and Jean Jacques Rousseau sought to define the transactional nature of power within the political state, its limits and obligations, and in some cases to propose remedies for perceived ills. Things take a distinctly psychological turn with Freud. Extrapolating from his instinct theory of drives and structural model of the mind, Freud concludes that there is an uneasy pay off between the needs of individuals and the demands of the societies in which they live. In order to be able to live together at all, individuals must repress a considerable portion of their sexual and aggressive drives. The state is empowered to regulate their behaviours by other means, ensuring predictable social, legal, political and economic structures, and to reduce conflict to a minimum. Too much repression, however, increases the individual’s share of neurotic misery – the ‘discontents’ of Freud’s title. In Freud’s later metapsychology, the prohibitive pronouncements and aspirational ideals of an individual’s family and wider culture are internalised by the superego and ego ideal respectively. Civilization and its Discontents did not attempt to investigate contemporary sources of discontent at the time of its publication. Rubinstein’s book, on the contrary, examines some of the dominant issues of our time, as he sets out to explore the interplay between rapid development in digital technologies, the rise in fanatical ideologies, the Coronavirus pandemic, and their combined, unravelling impact upon the integrity of human subjectivity. Psychoanalysis, Culture and Contemporary Discontents (Rubinstein, 2023) contends that psychoanalysis must critically engage with transdisciplinary
“一个人不仅作为一个个体过着他的个人生活，而且有意识或无意识地过着他的时代和同时代人的生活”(Mann, 1962/ 1924, p.32)。就其对当代文化问题的广泛关注、论点的压缩和阐述的清晰而言，这是一本令人印象深刻的书。我认为这也是很重要的一点。它的标题是为了纪念弗洛伊德的社会心理学论文《文明及其不满》。弗洛伊德的书可以被视为对统治者和臣民之间社会契约的既定文学和哲学传统的贡献。托马斯·霍布斯(Thomas Hobbes)、约翰·洛克(John Locke)和让·雅克·卢梭(Jean Jacques Rousseau)等作家试图界定政治国家内部权力的交易性质、其限制和义务，并在某些情况下提出对感知到的弊端的补救措施。在弗洛伊德那里，事情发生了明显的心理转变。根据他的本能驱动理论和心智结构模型，弗洛伊德得出结论，在个人的需求和他们所生活的社会的需求之间存在着一种不稳定的回报。为了能够生活在一起，个体必须抑制相当一部分的性冲动和攻击冲动。国家有权通过其他方式规范他们的行为，确保可预测的社会、法律、政治和经济结构，并将冲突减少到最低限度。然而，过多的压抑会增加个体的神经症痛苦——弗洛伊德称之为“不满”。在弗洛伊德后来的元心理学中，个人家庭和更广泛文化的禁止性宣言和抱负理想分别被超我和自我理想内化。《文明及其不满》在出版时并没有试图调查当代不满的根源。相反，鲁宾斯坦的书考察了我们这个时代的一些主要问题，他开始探索数字技术的快速发展、狂热意识形态的兴起、冠状病毒大流行之间的相互作用，以及它们对人类主体性完整性的综合影响。精神分析，文化和当代不满(Rubinstein, 2023)认为，精神分析必须批判性地参与跨学科

Abstract This paper considers the nature of creativity in Virginia Woolf’s novel To the Lighthouse, in which she said she had finally ‘laid the ghosts’ of her parents, after many years of being obsessed with them, her mother in particular. Woolf was very familiar with the psychoanalytic concepts of her day, owing to the social milieu and publishing context of the ‘Bloomsbury’ intellectual circle. She acknowledged that all her writings were in some sense autobiographical. Despite periods of severe depression, she preferred not to have an analysis but to pursue her own self-analysis through her writings. This paper pursues in detail the evolution of the image of ‘internal parents’, known in modern psychoanalysis as the ‘combined internal object’ (Klein, Meltzer) and taken to be the key source of an individual’s creativity. The aim is to distinguish the realistic portrayal of external parents from the creative story that is told and indeed discovered by the writer, focussing on its experiential and experimental evolution within the structure of the novel itself. Woolf spoke of the ‘androgynous’ nature of creative work, and this, it is suggested, refers not simply to the aesthetic interweaving of complementary qualities represented in the story, but to the sense of a governing aegis of parental bisexual objects who work towards and achieve a constructive relationship in the inner world, capable of repairing defects that exist in the external world. Woolf preferred not to interpret her own works symbolically but suggested that readers may do so. The family journey to the Lighthouse is often seen in terms of a spiritual journey, as well as an artistic one, and can also be interpreted in psychoanalytic terms of an internal reconstruction or reparation.

The purpose of this article is to draw attention to, and exemplify, how a dialogue between the Islamic vision of dreams could be compared with those premises proposed by Montague Ullman. Specifically, we are interested in unveiling the application of the Ullman’s Experiential Dreamwork Group Approach and intertwining it with the Islamic understanding of dreams in Muslim women. To do so, we first review the premises of psychodynamic theory and relate them to the Ullman method. Second, we deploy ideas of dream interpretation in Islam. Thirdly, the mental health of Muslim women in Middle Eastern culture is discussed. We then present an in-depth autoethnographic documentation of the dream of a Muslim woman who is in the final phase of her academic training as a clinical psychologist in a Middle Eastern country, and who received intensive training in the Ullman’s approach. We intend to show the overlaps, and some-times conflicts, of the two epistemologies, Western (Ullman) and Eastern (Islamic), in understanding and treating dreams. At the end of the article, conclusions are derived and implications for future research are discussed.
这篇文章的目的是引起人们的注意，并举例说明，如何将伊斯兰梦的愿景与蒙塔古·乌尔曼提出的前提进行比较。具体来说，我们感兴趣的是揭示Ullman 's experience Dreamwork Group Approach的应用，并将其与伊斯兰教对穆斯林女性梦境的理解交织在一起。为此，我们首先回顾心理动力学理论的前提，并将它们与乌尔曼方法联系起来。其次，我们运用伊斯兰教的释梦思想。第三，探讨了中东文化背景下穆斯林妇女的心理健康状况。然后，我们对一位穆斯林妇女的梦进行了深入的自我民族志记录。这位妇女在中东国家作为临床心理学家，正处于学术培训的最后阶段，她接受了乌尔曼方法的强化培训。我们打算展示西方(乌尔曼)和东方(伊斯兰)两种认识论在理解和对待梦方面的重叠，有时是冲突。在文章的最后，本文得出了结论，并对未来的研究进行了讨论。

rebellion. Those seeking to take action would be well advised to read ‘Blueprint for a Revolution’ by Srđa Popović, which is in many ways the exact opposite of this book . . . immediate, accessible, funny and inspiring. Better yet, if you’re interested in social action, don’t just sit at home reading – go outside and meet other people with similar interests and hear what they have to say. The philosophers can interpret the world but always remember, the point is to change it.
