ISBN: 9781780490076 / Angielski / Miękka / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Thinking psychoanalytically about the nature of social exclusion involves a self-questioning on the part of the interpreter. While we may all have some experiences of having been subject to stereotyping, silencing, discrimination and exclusion, it is also the case that, as social beings, we all, to some extent, participate in upholding these practices, often unconsciously.
The book poses the question of how psychoanalysis can be used to think about the invisible and subtle processes of power over symbolic representation, in the context of stereotyping and dehumanization: What...

Gabriel Marcel (1889-1973), the first French existentialist and phenomenologist, was a world-class Catholic philosopher, an accomplished playwright, drama critic and musician.

Taking the Transference, Reaching Toward Dreams: Clinical Studies in the Intermediate Area
ISBN: 9781780490564 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. -One of the aims of this game is to reach to the child's ease and so to his fantasy and so to his dreams.- What a lovely description of an easy interplay between two people, leading to the communication of, even the creation of, inner life. Winnicott was a theorist of the unnoticed obvious, as much in this statement about his squiggle game as in his recognition of the eternal phenomenon of transitional objects. But it is also a commonplace of clinical psychoanalytic practice that no sooner is inner life contacted, and a beginning link made to the external world, no sooner do both parties...

ISBN: 9781780490571 / Angielski / Miękka / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

In non-technical language, accessible both for the professional and layman, this book gives a clear picture of the underlying pathology of sado-masochism, its effects, and how it can be treated. It also examines other key, psychological, defence mechanisms--such as hysteria and...

The Transactional Analyst in Action : Clinical Seminars

This book was born out of the demands, which are more and more informed, for a manual that gathers in a didactic and systematic way that which is considered -the tool-box- of a modern transactional analyst. In fact, from the publication in 1966 of the work by Eric Berne, Principles of Group Treatment, one cannot find a work which condenses the operative principles of the transactional method, for how it has developed in the most widespread methodological tendencies, while there exist books on technique about single orientations. The topics are presented in a way to offer both students...

The book is divided into two parts: one clinical and the other theoretical.

Updating Midlife : Psychoanalytic Perspectives

Midlife is a concept used everywhere and from many different vertexes, though mostly imprecisely, even within the psychoanalytic paradigm. This book tries to settle its proper meaning through the challenge of laying the foundations for the development of a true psychoanalytic metapsychology for something that the editors believe psychoanalysis was lacking. From this viewpoint, they invited fourteen renowned psychoanalysts to share their ideas about the issue. The outcome of that work is Updating Midlife: Psychoanalytic Perspectives, encompassing of all these contributions with the...
