Psychoanalytic Energy Psychotherapy

By: Phil Mollon

People like to talk. We know that talking to an attentive and thoughtful listener can be helpful in clarifying conscious and unconscious feelings, thoughts, and motivations. But is talk enough? The complex physiology of anxiety and traumatic stress reactions is often stubbornly persistent, despite therapeutic exploration in both conscious and unconscious areas of the mind. In the case of severe trauma, talking can stir up the emotions and associated bodily disturbance without providing any resolution - sometimes leaving clients feeling worse. The developing field of energy psychology offers an entirely new perspective and gamut of techniques for locating where these traumatic patterns are encoded. They are not in the mind - but in the energy system at the interface of psyche and soma. By addressing these realms concurrently, a powerful therapeutic synergy emerges that allows rapid and deep shifts in the patterns of distress that drive the psychosomatic system.

EMDR and the Energy Therapies

Psychoanalytic Perspectives

By: Phil Mollon

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), along with methods from the new field of energy psychology, such as the Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), enable the rapid processing and release of traumatic memories and painful emotion. In this innovative work, Phil Mollon demonstrates how the perspectives of EMDR, energy psychology, and psychoanalysis can inform and enrich each other. By summarising relevant research and providing many clinical examples, Mollon has produced a challenging and invigorating scrutiny of psychoanalysis and an expanded vision of the potential for psychosomatic healing.

The Fragile Self

The Structure of Narcissistic Disturbance and Its Therapy

By: Phil Mollon

In The Fragile Self Dr. Phil Mollon, a respected British psychotherapist, discusses disorders of the self from a variety of points of view, drawing particular attention to the work of Kohut and describing its strengths and limitations. Mollon shows that psychoanalysis requires an adequate theory of self in order to address effectively those states of mind in which a disturbed sense of self is prominent. A broader classification of disturbances of self is required, argues Mollon, who goes on to develop his own thesis that patients in psychotherapy or analysis are often unconsciously seeking a needed development-enhancing response from the therapist. The therapist's task is to recognize this need and to articulate it to the patient. In this way, the hitherto lonely and unreached parts of the personality can be contacted and integrated. In exploring these issues, many aspects of psychoanalytic process and technique are reexamined.

Shame and Jealousy

The Hidden Turmoils

By: Phil Mollon

A volume in the Psychoanalytic Ideas Series, published for the Institute of Psychoanalysis by Karnac. Here, shame and jealousy are examined as hidden turmoils; as basic human feelings found in everyone but often suppressed and neglected. An unfulfilled need, unanswered plea for help, and failure to connect with and understand other people are all underlying causes for shame and feeling inadequate. The author argues that feelings of shame form an intrinsic part of the analytic encounter but 'astonishingly, this shame-laden quality of the psychoanalytic and psychotherapeutic setting is rarely addressed. This lucidly written and much-needed volume explores the profound effects shame and jealousy can have on self-esteem and how this can eventually lead to a chronic condition.

The Unconscious

The Unconscious

By: Phil Mollon

Freud's discovery of the dynamic unconscious is arguably his most important contribution to our understanding of the human mind. While others before him had realised that not all mental activity is conscious, it was Freud's aim to study in detail both the content and the alien mode of thinking of the unconscious mind. Dreams burst upon us, playing enigmatically upon our inner theatre, dense with obscure meaning. Freud showed the continuity between dreams, puzzling neurotic and psychotic symptoms, slips of the tongue and a multitude of errors which reveal the existence of the unconscious mind. The author explains that while we may have illusions of autonomy and conscious awareness of our motivations, psychoanalysis reveals that we are often "lived by" the unconscious which dwells within, largely hidden during daylight, but revealing its controlling influence within the dramas of sleep. Immensely creative yet powerfully destructive, the unconscious can be a source of guidance as well as subversion evoking both awe and dread.

Pathologies of the Self

Exploring Narcissistic and Borderline States of Mind

By: Phil Mollon

Pathologies of the Self explores both narcissistic disturbance and borderline states. For several decades of clinical practice, Phil Mollon has explored and pondered the nature and structure of identity as a core aspect of what drives human action. We are collectively trapped in images, either of our own choosing, or imposed on us by others. These illusions of self shape how we think, feel, and behave and are seemingly necessary for our functioning in society. Some of us become invested in grandiose self-images, consistently sacrificing perceptions of truth and reality in the service of maintaining these fictions. In such states, we are blind to both the subjectivity of others and to the deeper and more authentic aspect of self. Narcissism affects all human beings, and its thematic tentacles enter all forms of psychotherapy.“One of the most original thinkers in the mental health profession, Dr. Phil Mollon has written a rich and readable portrait of the complexities of narcissistic and borderline states of mind. Drawing upon a generous range of psychological theories and clinical data, Mollon has provided us with a veritable master class, illuminating these deeply troubling – indeed malignant – features of the human personality.” Professor Brett Kahr, Senior Fellow, Tavistock Institute of Medical Psychology, London, and Visiting Professor of Psychoanalysis and Mental Health, Regent’s School of Psychotherapy and Psychology, Regent’s University London

Blue Diamond Healing: Exploring Transpersonal and Transdimensional Aspects of Energy Psychotherapy

By: PHIL. MOLLON

Blue Diamond healing, a development from energy psychotherapy, is the result of Phil Mollon's many years spent exploring the deeper patterns in the human subtle energy system, working beyond the more familiar meridians and chakras. The 'Blue Diamond' functions as an energy centre allowing access to higher dimensions that therapists can draw upon to heal the problematic patterns at lower dimensions. Positive effects are achieved more quickly and easily by working from these higher levels, facilitating healing, emotional self-regulation and calming of the nervous system. In Blue Diamond Healing, Mollon provides a hypothetical map of dimensional levels and structures, combining psychology, physics, metaphysics, cosmology, and spirituality, all in one far-reaching framework. The book provides a sophisticated but concise outline of energy psychotherapy and the place of the Blue Diamond within it, including sections on best practice and the ethical aspects of this unique and powerful healing method.
