The Physical and Virtual Space of the Consulting Room
In this thought-provoking book, Deborah Wright examines the role of both space and objects as they become manifest in the psychoanalytic process and looks at how the role of the consulting room in the therapeutic process is both primitive and transferential. Wright explores spatialisation as simultaneously being a psychological projection of meaning and as physically acting upon the environment, utilised to master the undifferentiated, relentless, internal pressure of instinct. Throughout The Physical and Virtual Space of the Consulting Room, she considers the spatial aspects of work with patients by foregrounding the importance of the consulting room and its contents, including the impact of changes of consulting room, travelling, and in working virtually. Illustrated with clinical material and hand-drawn artwork, Wright orients the reader in the new territory by going beyond the existing literature that considers the objects and space of the consulting room solely as transferential aspects of the analyst. The interdisciplinary approach in this book calls on psychoanalytic theory and technique as well as philosophy, history, archaeology, and anthropology, which will be of great interest to all psychoanalytically orientated therapists as well as anyone, clinical or non-clinical, who makes use of psychoanalysis.
Spatial Networking in the United Physical, Virtual, and Mental World
The current book chooses graphs and networks as primary and global research objectives after reviewing different types and areas of networking and existing works on graph and network operations. The ideas of this book originate from the WAVE approach which allowed us, more than half a century ago, to implement citywide heterogeneous computer networks and solve distributed problems on them in flexible and mobile way. The invented management paradigm evolved into Spatial Grasp Technology resulted in European patent and nine previous books oriented on concrete applications in social and defense systems, security, crises management, collective robotics, space research, and others. Many obtained results were dealing with graph and network structures and problems which were extremely important in the researched areas. It aims at development of higher-level social infrastructures effectively integrating different types of networking under the same universal approach, also application of networking in new areas like organoids and brain research. This book is oriented toward system scientists, application programmers, industry managers, university students, philosophers, psychologists, and United Nations personnel too.

Dialogues between Psychoanalysis and Architecture explores the multisensory space of therapy, real or virtual, and how important it is in providing the container for the therapeutic relationship and process. This book is highly original in bringing psychoanalysis and architecture together and highlighting how both disciplines strive to achieve transformation of our psychic space. It brings together contributions that comprise three parts: the first explores the space of the consulting room through the senses to examine issues such as smell and its link with memory and belonging, hearing out the Other, the psychoanalytic couch, the medical therapy room and the so-called sixth sense; secondly, the book questions how the consulting room can represent or be redesigned to reflect the philosophy that underlies the therapy process, foregrounding an architectural point of view; and thirdly, the book attends to the significance of the consulting room as a virtual space, as it emerged during the pandemic of COVID-19 and beyond. Architectural, psychotherapeutic and interdisciplinary perspectives allow for an important new dimension on the psychological use of space, and will appeal to psychoanalysts, psychoanalytic and integrative psychotherapists, art therapists, students of psychotherapy, as well as architects and designers.
