This book provides a detailed examination of Marion Milner's influential work, celebrating her contributions to psychoanalysis and various creative disciplines.
The Marion Milner Tradition offers an in-depth exploration of Marion Blackett Milner's extensive eight-volume work, highlighting her groundbreaking contributions to the fields of psychoanalysis, clinical psychology, and beyond. This book not only celebrates Milner's achievements but also positions her as a pivotal figure in creative and scientific disciplines, including philosophy, mindfulness, and spirituality. The co-editors present a thoughtful examination of Milner's innovative engagement with art, human experience, and her role as a researcher within the British Psychoanalytical Society's Independent Group.
Through the insights of fifty contributors, The Marion Milner Tradition delves into the evolution of what is now recognized as the Milner Tradition. These contributors, who include former colleagues, friends, and students, share personal anecdotes and reflections on Milner's impact on their professional lives. Their narratives contribute to a rich tapestry of understanding regarding Milner's influence on both theoretical frameworks and clinical practices over the decades.
This volume is designed to resonate with both newcomers and seasoned readers of Milner's work. It serves as a valuable resource for students and practitioners across various therapeutic disciplines, offering a comprehensive overview that emphasizes the lasting significance of Milner's legacy in contemporary psychology and art therapy. The book invites readers to engage with Milner's ideas and encourages a deeper appreciation of her contributions to understanding the human experience.
"Marion Milner and her work have been written about previously in a piecemeal sort of way. Here she is presented in her totality. Accounts of her clinical and theoretical ideas highlight their originality and continuing importance for psychoanalysis. Her work as an artist is also considered in its own right. Descriptions of the impact of Milner’s writings on those who have studied them give clues to what readers of this book may find there for themselves. Besides all this, personal reminiscences of Milner bring her vividly and delightfully to life. We must be grateful to Margaret Boyle Spelman and Joan Raphael-Leff for a book that is both informative and inspiring." - Michael Parsons, Distinguished Fellow of the British Psychoanalytical Society and member of the French Psychoanalytic Association
