Promises, Promises: Essays on Literature and Psychoanalysis
ISBN: 9780465056781 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. As an essayist, Adam Phillips combines the best of two worlds: the mastery of psychotherapy as a practitioner and a theorist-and a reputation as one of the best literary writers around. In this collection of essays, he brings the two gifts to bear upon each other, reaching far beyond the borders of psychoanalytic discourse into art, novels, poetry, and history to speculate on the relative merits of psychoanalysis and literature. In his quirky, epigrammatic style, Phillips shows us how psychoanalysis and literature at their best share the goal of shedding light on human character, the most...

Going Sane
ISBN: 9780007155361 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Being sane has long been defined simply as that bland and nebulous state of not being mentally ill. While writings on madness fill entire libraries, until now no one has thought to engage exclusively with the idea of sanity. In a society governed by indulgence and excess, madness is the state of mind we identify with most keenly. Though ultimately destructive, it is often credited as the wellspring of genius, individuality, and self-expression. Sanity, on the other hand, confounds us. One of the world's most respected psychoanalysts and original thinkers, Adam Phillips redresses this...

On Balance
ISBN: 9780312610746 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Every day, we are told that balance is a good thing. We are supposed to make balanced judgments, balance our budget, and preserve a balance of power in our government. Disturbed people are described as unbalanced. In this insightful, charming book, the philosopher and psychoanalyst Adam Phillips looks afresh at balance (and its shadow, excess) and asks if achieving the former is such an admirable goal. From this perspective, Phillips examines the explosive topics of money, sex, parenthood, faith, and education. In his exhilarating and casually brilliant explorations of case studies, fairy...

ISBN: 9780674953611 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Although he founded no school of his own, 0. W. Winnicott (1896 1971) is now regarded as one of the most influential contributors to psychoanalysis since Freud.

Winnicott's work was devoted to the recognition and description of the good mother and the use of the mother-infant relationship as the model of... Although he founded no school of his own, 0. W.

On Flirtation
ISBN: 9780674634404 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. People tend to flirt only with serious things--madness, disaster, other people's affections. So is flirtation dangerous, exploiting the ambiguity of promises to sabotage our cherished notions of commitment? Or is it, as Adam Phillips suggests, a productive pleasure, keeping things in play, letting us get to know them in different ways, allowing us the fascination of what is unconvincing? This is a book about the possibilities of flirtation, its risks and instructive amusements--about the spaces flirtation opens in the stories we tell ourselves, particularly within the framework of...

Darwin's Worms
ISBN: 9780465056767 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Adam Phillips has been called "the psychotherapist of the floating world" and "the closest thing we have to a philosopher of happiness." His style is epigrammatic; his intelligence, electric. His new book, Darwin's Worms, uses the biographical details of Darwin's and Freud's lives to examine endings-suffering, mortality, extinction, and death. Both Freud and Darwin were interested in how destruction conserves life. They took their inspiration from fossils or from half-remembered dreams. Each told a story that has altered our perception of our lives. For Darwin, Phillips explains, "the story...

On Kindness
ISBN: 9780141039336 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Today many people seem to find the pleasures of kindness literally incredible. Instead of embracing the benefits of altruism, as a species we seem to be becoming deeply and fundamentally antagonistic to each other, with motives that are generally self-seeking. This text explains how and why this has come about.

Terrors and Experts
ISBN: 9780674874800 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 132 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Iris Murdoch once suggested that to understand any philosopher's work we must ask what he or she is frightened of. To understand any psychoanalyst's work--both as a clinician and as a writer--we should ask what he or she loves, because psychoanalysis is about the unacceptable and about love, two things that we may prefer to keep apart, but that Freud found to be inextricable. If it is possible to talk about psychoanalysis as a scandal, without spuriously glamorizing it, then one way of doing it is simply to say that Freud discovered that love was compatible, though often furtively, with all...

Equals
ISBN: 9780465056804 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Written in his beloved epigrammatic and aphoristic style, Equals extends Adam Phillips's probings into the psychological and the political, bringing his trenchant wit to such subjects as the usefulness of inhibitions and the paradox of permissive authority. He explores why citizens in a democracy are so eager to establish levels of hierarchy when the system is based on the assumption that every man is created equal. And he ponders the importance of mockery in group behavior, and the psyche's struggle as a metaphor for political conflict.
