ISBN: 9780275959074 / Angielski / Twarda / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Lampert presents the story of love: when, why, and how love became a central experience of humans.

Human love expands its borders to include the relationships between women and men, friends, and even nonhuman subjects. Lampert describes motherhood as the source of the...

ISBN: 9780292750524 / Angielski / Miękka / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Many societies assign sharply distinguished roles to men and women. Personality differences, as well as physical differences, between men and women are used to justify these different sex roles, and women are seen as more emotionally and interpersonally sensitive than men, while men are said to be more competent, achievement oriented, and assertive than women. A widely held view is that not only do men and women differ but that possession of "masculine" characteristics precludes possession of "feminine" characteristics. This bipolar conception has led to the definition of masculinity and... Many societies assign sharply distinguished roles to men and women.

Sexuality in Mid-Life
ISBN: 9780306457425 / Angielski / Twarda / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. I wrote Sexuality in Mid-Life to assist clinicians in considering love, sex, intimacy, and dysfunction as they occur in this epoch of the life cy- cle. The chapters reflect my belief that understanding the processes of living is vital for both the therapist and the patient. Despite my preoc- cupation with creating a cohesive book, I often thought of these 11 chapters as essays because in this prose form it is traditional for the author to be palpably present in the text. I tried not to hide behind the passive constructions oftypical psychiatric books. I wanted to create a book that did not...

ISBN: 9780306463358 / Angielski / Twarda / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Throughout my clinical training and practice, I have been surprised by the number of times that sexual issues have emerged as an unexpectedly central feature in my work with older adults. I can vividly remember my own internal reaction on hearing one of my elderly female patients tell me that she was date raped a few years after the death of her elderly husband-when she was 68 years old. I can see in my mind's eye the blood splattered on the floor of an inpatient unit from an elderly man who smashed his arm through a window, furious that his antidepressant medication made it impossible to...

True Nature: A Theory of Sexual Attraction
ISBN: 9780306463907 / Angielski / Twarda / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. I have long been awe-struck by authors' claims that their books had been in the making for 5, or 10, or even 15 years. I now have a better appreciation ofthe work involved in bringing a book to press. The seeds of this project have had a long germination. The impetus for this book began more than 10 years ago when I was a graduate student in clinical psychology. Having an interest in human sexuality-and in theories on the forms of sexual attraction specifically-I was perplexed by various perspectives on this subject. Disciplines of thought that I encountered medicine, evolutionary biology,...
