Andreas Hamburger

Through the development of psychoanalytically informed film interpretation, Andreas Hamburger provides new insights into the experience of watching films and their influence upon our internal lives. Building upon a relational understanding of psychoanalysis, this volume develops a methodical procedure for psychoanalytical film interpretation, discusses individual aspects of the medium – such as editing, spatial and temporal design – and puts approaches to film psychoanalysis and cinema theory into a systematic perspective. Hamburger exemplifies his arguments in a detailed analysis of numerous film examples and demonstrates how an in-depth encounter with the medium can provoke new and surprising understandings. Providing an interdisciplinary perspective that crosses the study of popular culture with psychoanalytic theory, this book will be required reading not only for students and scholars of film, but also for psychoanalysts in practice and training.

Der psychodynamische Ansatz gewinnt auch in der Beratung von Fuhrungskraften zunehmend an Bedeutung. Zu diesem Thema treten ein Unternehmer, der sich der Psychoanalyse geoffnet hat, und ein Psychoanalytiker, der auch im berufsbezogenen Beratungssetting mit Fuhrungskraften, Unternehmern und Beratern arbeitet, in den Dialog. Das Buch beginnt nach einer begrifflichen Einordnung mit der Geschichte der psychodynamischen Arbeit in Unternehmen bis zum aktuellen Stand heute und gibt einen Uberblick uber den Markt. Anschliessend werden wichtige psychoanalytische Grundbegriffe fur die Arbeit mit dem Unbewussten in ihrer Bedeutung fur Coaching und Supervision erlautert. Es folgt ein Uberblick uber die aktuelle Coaching- und Supervisionsforschung. Das Buch schliesst mit Fallbeispielen, die im aufgespannten Feld von psychodynamischen Beratungstechniken und psychoanalytischer Gesamtbetrachtung beleuchtet werden.

Women and men in cinema are imaginary constructs created by filmmakers and their audiences. The film-psychoanalytic approach reveals how movies subliminally influence unconscious reception. On the other hand, the movie is embedded in a cultural tradition: Jean Cocteau's film La Belle et la Bete (1946) takes up the classic motif of the animal groom from the story of Cupid and Psyche in Apuleius' The Golden Ass (originally a tale about the stunning momentum of genuine female desire), liberates it from its baroque educational moral (a girl's virtue and prudence will help her to overcome her sexual fears), and turns it into a boyhood story: inside the ugly rascal there is a good, but relatively boring prince - at least in comparison to the monsters of film history. In the seventy years since it was made, La Belle et la Bete has inspired numerous interpretations and has been employed by theorists of all genres and interests.
