This Art of Psychoanalysis: Dreaming Undreamt Dreams and Interrupted Cries

Product DescriptionThis Art of Psychoanalysis offers a unique perspective on psychoanalysis that features a new way of conceptualizing the role of dreaming in human psychology. Thomas Ogden’s thinking has been at the cutting edge of psychoanalysis for more than 25 years. In this volume, he builds on the work of Freud, Klein, Winnicott and Bion, and explores the idea that human psychopathology is a manifestation of a breakdown of the individual’s capacity to dream his experience. The investigation into the role of the analyst in participating psychologically in the patient’s dreaming is illustrated throughout with elegant and absorbing accounts of clinical work, providing a….

Toward a Psychology of Being, 3rd Edition

Product Description”If we wish to help humans to become more fully human, we must realize not only that they try to realize themselves, but that they are also reluctant or afraid or unable to do so. Only by fully appreciating this dialectic between sickness and health can we help to tip the balance in favor of health.” —Abraham Maslow Abraham Maslow’s theories of self-actualization and the hierarchy of human needs are the cornerstone of modern humanistic psychology, and no book so well epitomizes those ideas as his classic Toward a Psychology of Being. A profound book, an exciting book, its influence continues to spread, more than a quarter century after its author’s death,…. Click Here to Read More

Is Disgrace Justified?: Psychological, Ethical and Political Significance of the Title in J.M. Coetzee’s Disgrace

Is a psychology of anatomy a valid pursuit of study?

Examples: Strong tight calves = forward progress Lifting the foot late = withholding forward progress/deep in thought Large calves = lack of forward progress Large ‘love handles’ = lack of activity (and maybe why scientists say people with these can lead to dementia???) Large, strong calves and hamstrings = hold firmly to position et cetera… …personally, I’ve lost 60 lbs but my calves are still huge (albeit muscular when flexed)! I’m always deep in thought and treadmill exercises don’t promote an initiative of forward movement; the forward movement is kinda given to you and I think this could be a reason for my large calves…I’m also doing compound exercises so hopefully I can….

Ethics and Counselling Applications

“Ethics (from Greek – meaning “custom”) is the branch of axiology, one of the four major branches of philosophy, which attempts to understand the nature of morality; to distinguish that which is right from that which is wrong. The Western tradition of ethics is sometimes called ‘moral philosophy’”. (WIKIPEDIA). The origins of ethics are related to the introduction of moral behaviour in early societies. The application of concepts such as ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, and the definition of these concepts in different environments, induced the need for a formal approach to social behaviour – an attempt to create commonality and organisation in a society. In this context, codes of behavior were…. Click Here to Read More
