Many people seek help because they feel dragged down by a sense of inner deadness that persists in an otherwise full and meaningful life. These individuals somehow remain untouched by their own inner experiences; a deadness persists that can cripple their entire life or part of it. This book shows what is involved in enduring and working with psychic deadness in a day-to-day, session-by-session basis.

Freud writes of a "force against recovery," Klein writes of "a destructive force within," Bion of "a force that goes on working after it destroys existence, time and space." Michael Eigen questions, "What kinds of personal and social destructive forces are we up against? How do we work with self-deadening processes in our own lives?" This book whittles away at the deadness that runs through the social fabric and scars many individuals.This book portrays attempts to fathom psychic deadness, but more important, it shows what is involved in enduring and working with deadness on a day-to-day, session-by-session basis. Often, the therapy relationship becomes a laboratory in which varying states of deadness-aliveness can be tied to what is going on between patient and therapist, as well as in the patient's life. In many cases, according to Eigen, the emotional tone of the therapy can be the most important element. Patient and therapist work to discover what the patient is looking for, that is, the precise combination of psychic nutrients, responses, attitudes, and tones required for a given individual, or even a given moment, so that a person can begin to open, and the deadness can lift.There are individuals for whom a sense of fluctuating deadness-aliveness is a radical discovery, while others scarcely notice anything else. Therapists, Eigen suggests, need to learn how to become better partners with their own mixed or double capacity for aliveness-deadness, so that they, their patients, and this precious, dumbfounding, and maddening capacity, can evolve together.

Aliveness and Deadness are processes that cannot be captured, only symbolized within the precincts of psychology and religion.Opening under the shadow of 9/11, our new century must reassess the preciousness of life and what we are living for, what we love, and what we find worth dying for. In the face of loss and absence, we must again ask what makes us feel connected to the source of aliveness. Yet, we must also understand that feeling fully alive means that we must come to fresh insight about the contrary of aliveness, which is deadness. Both aliveness and deadness are part of the same fabric of being. But how do we talk about them? Or do we leave these unnamed? For Ann Belford Ulanov, aliveness is to make something of what we hear, and to hear what we hear makes of us. Working on oneself enlarges; thus, society as psychological work and spiritual practice form a kind of social action. Our heart becomes unshuttered making new depths possible for the self and others.

Paperback. Laughter shakes us out of our deadness. An outburst of spontaneous laughteris an eruption from the unconscious that, like political resistance, poetry, orself-revelation, expresses a provocative, impish drive to burst free from externalconstraints. Taking laughter's revelatory capacity as a starting point,and rooted in Nuar Alsadir's experience as a poet and psychoanalyst, AnimalJoy seeks to recover the sensation of feeling alive and embodied.Writing in a poetic, associative style, blending the personal with the theoretical,Alsadir ranges from her experience in clown school, Anna Karenina'smorphine addiction, Freud's unfreudian behaviors, marriage brokers and warbrokers to 'Not Jokes', Abu Ghraib, Fanon's negrophobia, smut, the BrettKavanaugh hearings, laugh tracks, the problem with adjectives, to how poetrycan wake us up. At the centre of the book, though, is the author's relationshipwith her daughters, who erupt into the text like sudden, unexpected laughter.These interventions - frank, tender, and always a challenge to the writer andher thinking - are like tiny revolutions, pointedly showing the dangers of beingsevered from our True Self and hinting at ways we might be called back to it.A bold and insatiably curious prose debut, Animal Joy is an ode to spontaneityand feeling alive.'To read Animal Joy is to become alive to the condition of wakefulness in the world.This is a work that will change conversations about who we are, what we think motivates us, what makes us us.' - Claudia Rankine, author of Citizen Taking laughter's revelatory capacity as a startingpoint, and rooted in Nuar Alsadir's experience as a poetand psychoanalyst, Animal Joy is an ode to spontaneityand feeling alive.
