ISBN: 9781855758018 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

The fundamental thrust of these socio-clinical meditations is to enhance appreciation of aspects of life that have been inoptimally addressed in psychoanalytic...

Though references to it are scattered in the writings of Klein and Winnicott, the topic of greed has drawn meagre attention from contemporary psychoanalysts. This book fills that lacuna.

ISBN: 9781782200154 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

Betraying and feeling betrayed are ubiquitous to the scenarios of trauma and yet surprisingly neglected as a topic of specific attention by psychoanalysis.
This book fills this gap. Its first part deals with developmental aspects and notes that while the experience of betrayal might be ubiquitous in childhood, its...

Shame: Developmental, Cultural, and Clinical Realms
ISBN: 9781782202547 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A late-comer to psychoanalytic theorizing, -shame- results from a disjunction between the ego and the ego-ideal. A complex psychosocial experience, it is comprised of a painful exposure of one's vulnerable aspects, rupture of self-continuity, and a sense of isolation. The figure-ground harmony of -going-on-being- is disrupted and the individual feels alone and watched by others. Shame pushes for hiding and thus intensifies the experience of isolation.
Seeking to advance clinicians' empathy and therapeutic skills in this realm, ten distinguished analysts discuss shame from various... A late-comer to psychoanalytic theorizing, -shame- results from a disjunction between the ego and the ego-ideal. A complex psychosocial experience, it...
