Is the analyst's mind a factor in the analytic process? In Mind Works Antonino Ferro uses clinical material such as detailed reports of sessions, together with client's analytic histories, to develop Bion's original findings and illustrate complex concepts in the field of psychoanalytic technique.

(P/B) DIMENSIONS OF PERSONALITY Περιορισμένη διαθεσιμότητα. Αποστέλλεται κατά κανόνα σε 2-6 εργάσιμες μέρες.

This is the original work on which Hans Eysenck's fifty years of research have been built. It introduced many new ideas about the nature and measurement of personality into the field, related personality to abnormal psychology, and demonstrated the possibility of testing personality theory experimentally. The book is the result of a concentrated and cooperative effort to discover the main dimensions of personality, and to define them operationally, that is, by means of strictly experimental, quantitative procedures. More than three dozen s...

(H/B) SEXISM AND STEREOTYPES IN MODERN SOCIETY Περιορισμένη διαθεσιμότητα. Αποστέλλεται κατά κανόνα σε 2-6 εργάσιμες μέρες.

Once the province of a small group of theorists and researchers operating on the periphery of psychological science, gender research has charged into the psychological mainstream during the last two decades. In large measure, Janet Taylor Spence has been responsible for this transformation, challenging the traditional ideas of fundamental differences between men and women. These differences have been replaced by a complex, sophisticated awareness of how gender is constructed and maintained. During the 1970s, Spence and her colleagues devel...

(P/B) THE PSYCHOANALYTIC MOVEMENT Περιορισμένη διαθεσιμότητα. Αποστέλλεται κατά κανόνα σε 2-6 εργάσιμες μέρες.

How did the language of psychoanalysis become the dominant idiom in which the middle classes of the industrialized West speak about their emotions? Ernest Gellner offers a forceful and complex answer to this intriguing question in The Psychoanalytic Movement. This landmark study argues that although psychoanalysis offers an incisive picture of human nature, it provides untestable operational definitions and makes unsubstantiated claims concerning its therapeutic efficacy. In a new foreword Jose Brunner expands on the central argument of Th...

This Monograph addresses three questions: a) Can distinct trajectories of physical aggression be identified in children from 24 months to third grade? b) Do child and family characteristics and child care experiences predict membership in the trajectory groups? c) Do trajectory groups differ in their levels of academic and social functioning in third grade? Using a person-centered approach and data from the NICHD Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development, five aggression trajectories were identified: very low, low, moderate-steeply d...

(P/B) HISTORY AND THEORIES OF PSYCHOLOGY Περιορισμένη διαθεσιμότητα. Αποστέλλεται κατά κανόνα σε 2-6 εργάσιμες μέρες.

Does mainstream psychology offer us a 'true' insight into human nature? Or are current psychological theories and philosphies as much to be taken in the context of today's social and political thinking as were past beliefs within the discipline? Addressing this sometimes contentious debate, 'History and Theories of Psychology' introduces the core issues of critical psychology from a historical perspective. The authors show how the development of the discipline, far from being a steady progression towards an empirically verifiable truth, ha...

(H/B) DISABILITY AND THE FAMILY LIFE CYCLE Περιορισμένη διαθεσιμότητα. Αποστέλλεται κατά κανόνα σε 2-6 εργάσιμες μέρες.

Quality of life has been described as "the degree to which the person enjoys the important possibilities of his or her life" (Woodwill, Renwick, Brown, & Phahael, 1994, p. 67). This book provides an understanding of the psychological issues and practical problems faced by children with disabilities and their families throughout different stages of the life cycle. In this context, we are concerned with issues that affect the quality of life of the family unit as well as individual family members. Too often family members are viewed as "reso...

(P/B) THEORIES OF PERSONALITY (4 REVISED EDITION) Περιορισμένη διαθεσιμότητα. Αποστέλλεται κατά κανόνα σε 2-6 εργάσιμες μέρες.

The original edition of Hall and Lindzey (1957) defined the field of personality, led to dozens of textbooks on personality theory, spawned hundreds of college and university courses, and yet remained a classic text through two revisions. The third edition (1978) is now almost twenty years old. The bulk of the material in that edition remains relevant today, but it has become dated in two major respects. First, the theories it emphasized exclude several positions that are of major contemporary importance. Second, the text obviously omits a...

(H/B) ESSENTIAL PSYCHOTHERAPIES Περιορισμένη διαθεσιμότητα. Αποστέλλεται κατά κανόνα σε 2-6 εργάσιμες μέρες.

This book presents the core theoretical and applied aspects of essential psychotherapies in contemporary clinical practice. For us, "essential" approaches do not include those that appear to be generating momentary enthusiasm but are likely to soon vanish from the therapeutic scene. In our view, essential psychotherapies are those that form the conceptual and clinical bedrock of psychotherapeutic training, practice, and research. We believe there are two quite distinct categories of essential psycho therapies. [...] (From the publisher)...

Moving Beyond Prozac, DSM, and the New Psychiatry looks at contemporary psychiatric practice from a variety of critical perspectives ranging from Michel Foucault to Donna Haraway. This contribution to the burgeoning field of medical humanities contends that psychiatry's move away from a theory-based model (one favoring psychoanalysis and other talk therapies) to a more scientific model (based on new breakthroughs in neuroscience and pharmacology) has been detrimental to both the profession and its clients. This shift toward a science-based...

Five musicians walk into a first-grade classroom, instruments in tow. Without a word, they begin playing, to the delight of the children who sit and watch. The children respond with enthusiasm. During successive visits, they interact with the woodwind quintet. The musicians not only help them learn about music but also provide a bridge to help them learn about other subjects. More than two years after that first visit, these same children do strikingly better on state tests than the third-grade class that preceded them. The improvement con...

"Motherhood in the Twenty-First Century" is a remarkable collection of essays whose contributors, invited by the editor, Alcira Mariam Alizade, from many different countries, each explore different dimensions of motherhood today, which, as the editor emphasizes, "cannot escape the impact of social and cultural transformations." Moreover, Alizade underlines the importance of recognizing that woman's psychic organization is independent of its maternal function thus implying a necessary dissociation of femininity from motherhood. The essays c...

(P/B) LOVING PSYCHOANALYSIS Περιορισμένη διαθεσιμότητα. Αποστέλλεται κατά κανόνα σε 2-6 εργάσιμες μέρες.

The interrelating essays and lectures contained in Loving Psychoanalysis have been written over the course of the past few years in an attempt to codify and transmit what I have learnt through the study and praxis of psychoanalysis. The differing perceptions of psychoanalysis that they reflect form a complex mosaic of beginnings and finales. They examine psychoanalysis from various cultural aspects, the overriding theme being the sense of discontent that they express. I have attempted to weave the various viewpoints into a web of perceptio...
