Description

Play and Power: Exploring the Intersection of Play and Power in Psychoanalytic Theory and Practice. This book brings together key concepts from psychoanalytic theory and practice, exploring how play and power intersect in clinical work with children, groups, and adults. The inspiration for this book lies in a 3-section conference held in Copenhagen in May 2007, which examined the theme of "Play and Power". The authors present both theoretical perspectives and practical examples from individual psychotherapies with children and adults, as well as group analysis. The book delves into the devastating consequences of abuse of power in real-world environments, highlighting the importance of play and power in therapeutic settings. It also examines these concepts within the broader context of community life, shedding light on their significance in various social and socio-political contexts.
