Cleft Tongue: The Language of Psychic Structures
ISBN: 9780367102210 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 174 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book is an attempt to analyse psychic language and its diverse modes of expression, both within psychic structure and in the interpersonal realm. It begins by looking at two basic forms of delay in the development of psychic language: concrete language, which is based on flattening, and pseudo-language, which is rooted in concealment. The next chapter focuses on the split between voice and meaning which marks psychotic syntax, and the latter's double function in defending the self against an unconscious death wish. The subject of the third chapter is the chameleon language of perversion,...

In the new era of brain research, neuroscience shows the way ahead. Being Taken In looks at the neuroscience showing how the mother/infant framing relationship wires in our way of understanding the world, and sets a navigation system, complete with built-in danger alerts. For disturbed children, these danger alerts are everywhere, and can even be triggered...

Hysteria Today
ISBN: 9780367102555 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 138 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Hysteria, one of the most diagnosed conditions in human history, is also one of the most problematic. Can it even be said to exist at all? Since the earliest medical texts people have had something to say about 'feminine complaints'. Over the centuries, theorisations of the root causes have lurched from the physiological to the psychological to the socio-political. Thanks to its dual association with femininity and with fakery, the notion of hysteria inevitably provokes questions about women, men, sex, bodies, minds, culture, happiness and unhappiness. To some, it may seem extraordinary that...

ISBN: 9780367104122 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

Both in his introduction and throughout the text, the author comments on the method and discusses continuities, similarities and differences among the films.

Scum
ISBN: 9780367101800 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 108 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Scum is a masterfully written book in which the author, by means of a particularly effective form of fragmentation of language, captures the disjunctive experience of a terrified boy. The life of the boy and the life of the sentences are lived entirely in the collision of the will to survive and the impossible demands of an incomprehensible, utterly senseless reality. There are no happy endings in Williams' books, but far more valuable is the vitality that is generated in his deft and original use of language.' - Thomas Ogden

Century of Insight is the story of the discovery of the unconscious mind, based on the author's teaching of psychotherapy throughout his career. Beginning with the ideas of Freud and Jung, it is a journey that describes, through case histories, explanation and humour, how successive ideas have created a body of knowledge that the author calls the "Psychodynamic Enlightenment" of the 20th century. Whilst essentially it is a story of the 20th century, it includes a backdrop from tribal societies, and also ideas from 19th century Europe, including existentialism. In Part I, the ideas of Freud,...

ISBN: 9780367105334 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

Here, the question is both beautifully explored and answered by leading psychotherapists from different schools to create a fascinating volume of ground-breaking ideas and theory. Each contributor unravels the procedures of the work, discussing the qualities of good psychotherapy from their own personal and theoretical perspectives. They...
