After the Holocaust: The Book of Job, Primo Levi, and the Path to Affliction
ISBN: 9780521766326 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Holocaust marks a decisive moment in modern suffering in which it becomes almost impossible to find meaning or redemption in the experience. In this study, C. Fred Alford offers a new and thoughtful examination of the experience of suffering. Moving from the Book of Job, an account of meaningful suffering in a God-drenched world, to the work of Primo Levi, who attempted to find meaning in the Holocaust through absolute clarity of insight, he concludes that neither strategy works well in today s world. More effective are the day-to-day coping practices of some survivors. Drawing on...

What Evil Means to Us: U.S. Intelligence and Foreign Military Innovation, 1918-1941
ISBN: 9780801434303 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. C. Fred Alford interviewed working people, prisoners, and college students in order to discover how people experience evil in themselves, in others, and in the world. What people meant by evil, he found, was a profound, inchoate feeling of dread so overwhelming that they tried to inflict it on others to be rid of it themselves. A leather-jacketed emergency medical technician, for example, one of the many young people for whom vampires are oddly seductive icons of evil, said he would "give anything to be a vampire."Drawing on psychoanalytic theory, Alford argues that the primary experience of...

Fred Alford offers a chilling account of the world of people who have come forward to protest organizational malfeasance in government agencies and in the private sector. The conventional story high-minded individual fights soulless organization, is persecuted, yet triumphs in the end is seductive and pervasive. In speaking with whistleblowers and their families, lawyers, and therapists, Alford discovers that the reality of whistleblowing is grim. Few whistleblowers succeed in effecting change; even fewer are regarded as... In a dark departure from our standard picture of whistleblowers, C.

The Psychoanalytic Theory of Greek Tragedy
ISBN: 9780300105261 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this provocative book, C. Fred Alford examines the possibility that the insights into human needs and aspirations offered by the great Greek tragedies are more profound than psychoanalytic theory. Drawing on the work of Melanie Klein, R. J. Lifton, Jacques Lacan, and others, Alford presents his own psychoanalytic interpretation of plays by Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides. "A book that will be of intellectual profit, professional interest, and delight to mental health professionals of all disciplines as well as to non-clinical readers."-Ellen Handler Spitz, author of Art and Psyche. "A...

Trauma and Forgiveness: Consequences and Communities
ISBN: 9781107043404 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Contrary to the view of trauma popularized by literary theorists, Trauma and Forgiveness argues that the traumatized are capable of representing their experience and that we should therefore listen more and theorize less. Using stories and case studies, including testimonies from Holocaust survivors, as well as the victims of 'ordinary' trauma, C. Fred Alford shows that, while the traumatized are generally capable of representing their experience, this does little to heal them. He draws on the British Object Relations tradition in psychoanalysis to argue that forgiveness, which might be...

Think No Evil
ISBN: 9780801436666 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this investigation of the contemporary notion of evil, C. Fred Alford asks what we can learn about this concept, and about ourselves, by examining a society where it is unknown where language contains no word that equates to the English term "evil." Does such a society look upon human nature more benignly? Do its members view the world through rose-colored glasses? Korea offers a fascinating starting point, and Alford begins his search for answers there.In conversations with hundreds of Koreans from diverse religions and walks of life students, politicians, teachers, Buddhist monks,...

Melanie Klein and Critical Social Theory: An Account of Politics, Art, and Reason Based on Her Psychoanalytic Theory
ISBN: 9780300105582 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this thoughtful and lucid book, C. Fred Alford shows how the psychoanalytic theory of Melanie Klein can be extended to groups and culture and thus can illuminate issues of social theory and moral philosophy of the sort considered by the Frankfurt School. He then applies this expanded theory to the politics of large groups, the appeal of works of art, and the psychological sources of reason. "Alford's ideas are interesting and well worked out. The book is good reading for the intelligent layman as well as for the Freudian psychoanalyst."-Elise W. Snyder, M.D., Yale Medical School "Regularly...

Psychology and the Natural Law of Reparation
ISBN: 9780521184373 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Are there universal values of right and wrong, good and bad, shared by virtually every human? The tradition of natural law argues that there is. Drawing on the work of psychoanalyst Melanie Klein, whose analyses have touched upon issues related to original sin, trespass, guilt, and salvation through reparation, in this 2006 book C. Fred Alford adds an extra dimension to this argument: we know natural law to be true because we have hated before we have loved and have wished to destroy before we have wanted to create. Natural law is built upon the desire to make reparation for the goodness we...

Healing Identities
ISBN: 9780801441462 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Group identifications famously pose the problem of destructive rhetoric and action against others. Cynthia Burack brings together the theory work of women of color and the tools of psychoanalysis to examine the effects of group collaborations for social justice and progressive politics. Burack's discursive analysis suggests the positive, identity-affirming aspects of group relational life for African American women. One analytic response to groups emphasizes the dangers of these identifications and exhorts people to abandon or transcend them for their own good and for the good of others....
