ISBN: 9780801486425 / Angielski / Miękka / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For William James, work was the problem.

Although he earned a medical degree, de Angulo chose to live on an isolated ranch in Big Sur, California, where he participated fully in the lives of the people who were his ethnographic informants.

ISBN: 9780803287716 / Angielski / Miękka / 114 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. At once a memoir and a personal version of the author's highly influential Language of Psychoanalysis, this work by one of the world's leading proponents of psychoanalytic theory and practice offers an autobiographical perspective on the private "vocabularies" that develop between analyst and patient. Because our ways of understanding the world are mediated by our use of language, J.-B. Pontalis suggests that a close look at our private lexicon can uncover a great deal about what we value. Beginning with one of his own linguistic preoccupations, the metaphor of the window, Pontalis considers...
