Book excerpt: In this book, clinical psychologist Stephen A. Diamond determines where anger and rage originate and explores whether these powerful passions are - as most people believe - purely negative, pathological, and evil or can be meaningfully redeemed and rechanneled into constructive activity. What is the psychobiological significance of such feelings? And what is the psychological link between anger, rage, violence, evil, and creativity? Drawing on the discoveries of depth psychologists such as Freud, Jung, Adler, Rank, Reich, and Rollo May, as well as the work of other contemporary psychotherapeutic pioneers, Diamond examines these timely yet eternal questions.

Book Synopsis Violence and the Philosophical Imaginary by : Ann V. Murphy
Download or read book Violence and the Philosophical Imaginary written by Ann V. Murphy and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-04-11 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Images of violence enjoy a particular privilege in contemporary continental philosophy, one manifest in the ubiquity of violent metaphors and the prominence of a kind of rhetorical investment in violence as a motif. Such images have also informed, constrained, and motivated recent continental feminist theory. In Violence and the Philosophical Imaginary, Ann V. Murphy takes note of wide-ranging references to the themes of violence and vulnerability in contemporary theory. She considers the ethical and political implications of this language of violence with the aim of revealing other ways in which identity and the social bond might be imagined, and encourages some critical distance from the images of violence that pervade philosophical critique.

Book Synopsis The Soul in Everyday Life by : Daniel Chapelle
Download or read book The Soul in Everyday Life written by Daniel Chapelle and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2003-09-25 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Soul in Everyday Life argues that modern psychology has given up on dealing with the idea of soul (or psyche), even though the field is named after it. If psychology wishes to be truly satisfying, it needs to be more than behavioral science, according to Daniel Chapelle. He concludes that psychology can only satisfy the deepest human needs when it can offer a sense of soul in everyday life. He explores ways of restoring this sense of soul to everyday life by examining how talk about something as elusive as the soul is possible and by reanimating a sense for what the notion of soul can mean. Working in the tradition of Nietzsche, Freud, Jung, and Jung's student James Hillman, Chapelle reaches back into millennia of Western thought to reanimate the dying sense of soul in everyday life and put the "psyche" back in "psychology."
Book Synopsis The Currents of Lethal Violence by : N. Prabha Unnithan
Download or read book The Currents of Lethal Violence written by N. Prabha Unnithan and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1994-09-27 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on past work, the authors outline an integrated model for linking suicide and homicide and show how that research from this perspective can further our understanding of violence. Specifically, they show that research based on this model provides new insights into how structural and cultural factors combine to produce high homicide levels in the American South and cross-national difference in lethal violence rates. In conclusion, they evaluate the model's utility, address possible criticisms of this perspective, and suggest avenues for further investigations of lethal violence.

Book Synopsis The Archaeology of Violence by : Sarah Ralph
Download or read book The Archaeology of Violence written by Sarah Ralph and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2013-01-17 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Archaeology of Violence is an interdisciplinary consideration of the role of violence in social-cultural and sociopolitical contexts. The volume draws on the work of archaeologists, anthropologists, classicists, and art historians, all of whom have an interest in understanding the role of violence in their respective specialist fields in the Mediterranean and Europe. The focus is on three themes: contexts of violence, politics and identities of violence, and sanctified violence. In contrast to many past studies of violence, often defined by their subject specialism, or by a specific temporal or geographic focus, this book draws on a wide range of both temporal and spatial examples and offers new perspectives on the study of violence and its role in social and political change. Rather than simply equating violence with warfare, as has been done in many archaeological cases, the volume contends that the focus on warfare has been to the detriment of our understanding of other forms of "non-warfare" violence and has the potential to affect the ways in which violence is recognized and discussed by scholars, and ultimately has repercussions for understanding its role in society.
Download or read book Forensic Psychiatry written by Tom Mason and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-11-05 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An international panel of experts from diverse specialties examine the idea of "evil" in a medical context, specifically a mental health setting, to consider how the concept can be usefully interpreted, and to elucidate its relationship to forensic psychiatry. The authors challenge the belief that the concept of "evil" plays no role in "scientific" psychiatry and is not helpful to our understanding of aberrant human thinking and behavior. Among the viewpoints up for debate are a consideration of organizations as evil structures, the "medicalization" of evil, destruction as a constructive choice, violence as a secular evil, talking about evil when it is not supposed to exist, and the influence of evil on forensic clinical practice. Among the highlights are a psychological exploration of the notion of "evil" and a variety of interesting research methods used to explore the nature of "evil."

Book Synopsis Psychotherapy Isn't What You Think by : James F. T. Bugental
Download or read book Psychotherapy Isn't What You Think written by James F. T. Bugental and published by Zeig Tucker & Theisen Publishers. This book was released on 1999 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book draws on the author's half century of experience in teaching, consulting with, and supervising psychotherapists throughout the world. He begins with the premise that the field has become too preoccupied with information: collecting information from the client and then feeding that information back to the client in different forms. The author then explains how and why shifting away from information gathering to attending to what is actually happening in the therapy room increases the effectiveness of the therapeutic interaction.
Book Synopsis Sabina Spielrein by : Angela M. Sells
Download or read book Sabina Spielrein written by Angela M. Sells and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores the life and work of psychoanalyst Sabina Spielrein through a feminist and mytho-poetic lens. Long stigmatized as Carl Jungs hysterical mistress, Sabina Spielrein (18851942) was in fact a key figure in the history of psychoanalytic thought. Born into a Russian Jewish family, she was institutionalized at nineteen in Zurich and became Jungs patient. Spielrein went on to earn a doctorate in psychiatry, practiced for over thirty years, and published numerous papers, until her untimely death in the Holocaust. She developed innovative theories of female sexuality, child development, mythic archetypes in the human unconscious, and the death instinct. In Sabina Spielrein, Angela M. Sells examines Spielreins life and work from a feminist and mytho-poetic perspective. Drawing on newly translated diaries, papers, and correspondence with Jung and Sigmund Freud, Sells challenges the suppression of Spielreins ideas and shows her to be a significant thinker in her own right. This book is a major, perhaps a definitive, contribution to the literature. Angela Sells documents both the demonization of a great psychoanalytic theoristmainly because she was a woman and worse still, was once Carl Jungs patient. The books greatest strength is its power to enlighten and inform and in so doing, to arouse indignation and amazement at Spielreins brilliance and tenacity. Phyllis Chesler, author of Women and Madness This is a pathbreaking piece of research that not only begins to rehabilitate the reputation of a woman patient of Jungs, but also suggests that Spielrein was an important contributor in her own right to the beginnings of psychoanalysis.

Book Synopsis Genre in Archaic and Classical Greek Poetry: Theories and Models by :
Download or read book Genre in Archaic and Classical Greek Poetry: Theories and Models written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-10-14 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genre in Archaic and Classical Greek Poetry foregrounds innovative approaches to the question of genre, what it means, and how to think about it for ancient Greek poetry and performance. Embracing multiple definitions of genre and lyric, the volume pushes beyond current dominant trends within the field of Classics to engage with a variety of other disciplines, theories, and models. Eleven papers by leading scholars of ancient Greek culture cover a wide range of media, from Sappho’s songs to elegiac inscriptions to classical tragedy. Collectively, they develop a more holistic understanding of the concept of lyric genre, its relevance to the study of ancient texts, and its relation to subsequent ideas about lyric.
