"In these thoughtfully curated volumes we have access to the work of one of the most influential and thought-provoking psychoanalytic writers today. In the creative hands of Dr. Kavaler-Adler, British and American Object Relations theories are fashioned into a vital, dynamic theory of Developmental Mourning, a developmental process that is central not only to healing trauma, but to the growth of separation-individuation processes, "selfevolution," creativity, eroticism, and reparation: the core elements of what it is to be human and alive.

"In these thoughtfully curated volumes we have access to the work of one of the most influential and thought-provoking psychoanalytic writers today. In the creative hands of Dr. Kavaler-Adler, British and American Object Relations theories are fashioned into a vital, dynamic theory of Developmental Mourning, a developmental process that is central not only to healing trauma, but to the growth of separation-individuation processes, "selfevolution," creativity, eroticism, and reparation: the core elements of what it is to be human and alive. Dr. Kavaler-Adler's writing is so thoroughly infused with her enthusiasm and passion that we encounter the theory with visceral clarity and truly feel the pain and joy of her clinical work. Dr. Kavaler-Adler illustrates the power of the use of countertransference with poignant and healing effect, never more vividly than in her chapters on Group Therapy. In these chapters we witness the working through of primitive affects and developmental progressions embedded in the powerful dynamics of the group with Dr. Kavaler-Adler's illuminating understanding through the lens of Developmental Mourning. We are indebted to International Psychoanalytic Books for bringing the works of one of the master clinicians of our time together in these collected volumes." -ROBERT GROSSMARK, PHD, ABPP, author of The Unobtrusive Relational Analyst: Explorations in Psychoanalytic Companioning and The One and the Many: Relational Approaches to Group Psychotherapy ¿¿"Susan Kavaler-Adler's Volume I of the Selected Papers highlights her original contributions to psychoanalytic theory and technique. Drawing upon the theories of Freud, Klein, Winnicott, Balint and many others, she illustrates and illuminates her concept of developmental mourning. An independent, philosophical psychoanalyst, Kavaler-Adler bridges past and present in theory and practice. Demonstrating the beneficial clinical outcome of mourning for loss in self and object relationships, she also emphasizes the reparative and growth promoting aspects of mourning the detrimental consequences of traumatic experience. She describes the appreciation of the new when one can separate from fixation to traumatic loss. Reading and reflecting upon Dr. Kavaler-Adler's insightful papers is a fascinating, rewarding psychoanalytic journey." -HAROLD P. BLUM, MD, Training and Supervising Analyst, New York Psychoanalytic Society & Institute; affiliated with NYU Medical School and the Psychoanalytic Society of Rio de Janeiro
SUSAN KAVALER-ADLER, PhD, ABPP, DLitt, NCPsyA has been a practicing clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst for over 40 years. She works with individuals, couples, and groups in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, and she supervises psychotherapists individually and in groups. For over 35 years, Dr. Kavaler-Adler also offers consultation to those who are experiencing creative blocks or self-doubts, but who wish to write for personal healing or for writing projects. Many have published in her writing groups: memoirs, professional articles, etc. She has helped many in her practice to convert anxiety and depression into creative self-expression in love and work.Dr. Kavaler-Adler is the Co-Founder, Executive Director, Senior Faculty, Training Analyst, Senior Supervisor, and President of the Board for the Object Relations Institute for Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis. She created a unique and original curriculum that integrates theories of the British Object Relations school of psychoanalysis and the American school of Object Relations theory. She teaches about the evolution of Object Relations theory in both Britain and America, and provides clinical illustrations. She teaches courses on the Object Relations perspective on character disorder psychopathology, on psychoanalytic phenomena (and defenses) that we observe in various psychic structures, as well as on the "Analyst as Instrument, experiential role-play" group supervision courses offered through all trimesters of each academic year.Dr. Kavaler-Adler is acknowledged for her extensive work on the Object Relations theories, including the phenomena of love-creativity dialectic, developmental mourning, erotic transference, spirituality, surrender versus submission (in life and in Argentine tango). She has written extensively about pathological mourning in terms of the demon-lover theme and the demon-lover complex. Dr. Kavaler-Adler's theory of developmental mourning expands Melanie Klein's understanding of mourning and its relation to manic depressive states, and James Masterson's abandonment depression. She defines regret as a psychological transformation process within the context of developmental mourning, a transition from Klein's paranoid-schizoid position to the depressive position. Dr. Kavaler-Adler's demon-lover complex theory interacts with the Jungian archetypal theory of the demon-lover complex by Marion Woodman. Her theory of psychic health, known as the love-creativity dialectic, was first proposed in one of her earlier books, The Creative Mystique: From Red Shoes Frenzy to Love and Creativity. Some of her psychobiographical work incorporates a concept of a dialectic between the Object Relations theorists Melanie Klein and D. W. Winnicott, utilizing historical facts and psychological interpretations of their lives' events and their work, as in one of her books, The Klein-Winnicott Dialectic: Transformative New Metapsychology and Interactive Clinical Theory.
