Book Synopsis Shades of Loneliness by : Richard Stivers
Download or read book Shades of Loneliness written by Richard Stivers and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2004 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To varying degrees, loneliness has us all in its grip. In this incisive and controversial book, Richard Stivers rejects the recent emphasis on genetic explanations of psychological problems, arguing that the very organization of technological societies is behind the pervasive experience of loneliness. The extreme rationality that governs our institutions and organizations results in abstract and impersonal relationships in much of daily life. Moreover, as common meaning is gradually eroded, our connections to others become vague and tenuous. Our ensuing fear and loneliness, however, can be masked by an outgoing, extroverted personality. In its extreme form, loneliness assumes pathological dimensions in neurosis and schizophrenia. Stivers maintains that even here the causes remain social. The various forms of neuroses and psychoses follow the key contradictions of a technological society. For instance, narcissism and depression reflect the tension between power and meaninglessness that characterizes modern societies. Stivers demonstrates that there is a continuum from the normal "technological personality" through the various neuroses to full-blown schizophrenia. He argues that all forms of loneliness emanate from the same cause; they likewise share a common dynamic despite their differences. Loneliness, in its many manifestations, seems to be the price we must pay for living in the modern world. Yet nurturing family, friend, and community ties can mitigate its culturally and psychologically disorganizing power. This book is a clarion call for a renewal of moral awareness and custom to combat the fragmentation and depersonalization of our technological civilization.

Chances are that your beloved pet, like millions of other cats, is neurotic! Cats live in a constant state of one-ness, meaning they are only looking out for number one.

If you have suffered from life with a neurotic cat, you will empathize with the author as he explains how to find peace with cats. The feline persuasion is a funny thing, and it is easy to fall prey to their deviant ways. Learn how to watch out for yourself and the rest of your household in How to Live with a Neurotic Cat. In this hilarious cat's eye view of the world, Stephen Baker tells you everything you need to live happily ever after with your feline friend (or foe). Also, don't miss How to Live with a Neurotic Dog if you happen to be rooming with an unstable canine pal as well.
Download or read book nEuRoTIC written by John Cuneo and published by Fantagraphics Books. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like Emily Dickinson, master illustrator John Cuneo has spent years generating a huge oeuvre of work that has never been published anywhere. Unlike Ms. Dickinson, however, Cuneo's consists of stacks and stacks of weird, perverse, erotic, hilarious, and disgusting images delineated in his sketchbooks. But make no mistake, these full-color sketchbook drawings are as lushly finished as his prize-winning illustration work for such magazines as Esquire (where he illustrates the sex column), Rolling Stone, Mother Jones, Entertainment Weekly, and TheAtlantic...nEuROTIC is a sharply designed little full-color hardcover that collects the very best of Cuneo's humorous erotica. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.9px Arial; color: #424242}
Book Synopsis Organizational Pathology by : Yitzhak Samuel
Download or read book Organizational Pathology written by Yitzhak Samuel and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 2011-12-31 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organizational Pathology draws an extended metaphor that the life cycle of an organization is akin to the biological life cycle. Like all living things, organizations will encounter problems that lead to decline and eventual failure. This work discusses the basic problems and life threatening diseases responsible for organizations’ failure and death, including organizational politics, organizational corruption, and organizational crime. The book also contains a critical look at crises and fixations; failure and survival; and processes of disbandment and closure of dying organizations. The consideration of these issues follows a diagnostic model of failure. Yitzhak Samuel argues that if the problems that lead to failure can be predicted or diagnosed early, their severity can be assessed and possible remedies can be implemented to avoid escalating crises. At the very least, an understanding of why and how decline happens can be gained from this analysis. This book offers facts about the causes and consequences of organizational downfall and clues about diagnoses of certain symptoms of abnormal behavior, and how to identify early signs of decline or failure. In order to illustrate these abstract arguments and concepts, Samuel uses various real-life examples of events that have occurred in cross-country contexts. In this way, Organizational Pathology: Life and Death of Organizations should serve a variety of readers. Although primarily intended for students and scholars in the social and behavioral sciences who are familiar with the study and the practice of organizations, this book’s informal style makes it easily accessible to a wide range of readers. Just as Samuel’s previous book on organizational politics led to new lines of research and theory, this book will encourage similar studies in organizational pathology and institutional malaise.
Book Synopsis A Psychodynamic View of Action and Responsibility by : David Shapiro
Download or read book A Psychodynamic View of Action and Responsibility written by David Shapiro and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-07-14 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new book by David Shapiro, author of the classic Neurotic Styles, throws light, from a clinical standpoint, on a subject of importance, both theoretically and for therapeutic practice, for psychoanalysts and psychotherapists, as well as for those with general interests in philosophy or psychology. A Psychodynamic View of Action and Responsibility explores the individual’s experience of ownership or responsibility for what he or she does, says, and even believes, and their avoidance of that experience. David Shapiro considers the self-deception necessary for these disclaimers of responsibility and the surrender of personal conviction and autonomous judgment. With numerous excerpts from therapeutic sessions, he shows these to be self-protective reactions forestalling or dispelling the anxiety of internal conflict and also, as in false confessions, external threat or intimidation. Shapiro presents this important thesis in his usual lucid way and in many contexts. Its recognition, in his view, is critical for therapeutic work. This book demonstrates the central place in psychological dynamics of the subjective sense of personal responsibility or ownership of what one says or does. The subject is nowhere treated with the depth and emphasis on subjective experience seen in these chapters. A Psychodynamic View of Action and Responsibility will appeal to professionals and students of psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy, as well as clinical psychologists, CBT practitioners, philosophers, and legal scholars.
Book Synopsis How To Live With A Neurotic Dog by : Stephen Baker
Download or read book How To Live With A Neurotic Dog written by Stephen Baker and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The Canine population of the United States is about 25 million. Out of this, about 25 million can be classified as neurotic—a conservative estimate. “For the millions of dog-owners seeking a solution to this distressing problem—” Faced with the complications and contradictions of modern society, today’s dog becomes a neurotic. At every turn, his prime life forces—the need to eat and sleep—are thwarted. Instinct pushes him towards satisfying this hunger; sleep is necessary to infuse him with sufficient strength to get up and eat several times a day. (The average dog may require about 24 hours rest a day.) But environmental factors prevent him from satisfying these desires. Stephen Baker, in this entertaining and delightfully fresh book, offers new help for the perplexed pooch owner. There are chapters on training, feeding and—most important—dressing a neurotic dog. You’ll read about traveling with your pet...and what you can do to eliminate sibling rivalry between dog and your baby. There is a chapter on how to psychoanalyze your dog at home, complete with charts and test batteries. You may not learn a thing, but you’ll be vastly amused. Sly and witty drawings, skillfully done by Eric Gurney, serve to complement and clarify the text that will provide every reader (dog lover or not) with a great deal of dog food for thought.

Book Synopsis Loving and Curing the Neurotic by : Anna Alberdina Antoinette Terruwe
Download or read book Loving and Curing the Neurotic written by Anna Alberdina Antoinette Terruwe and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This breakthrough book is the product of many years of rethinking the psychology and psychopathology of the 'normal' man: a rethinking triggered by the authors' disenchantment with the philosophy and therapy of psychoanalysis, with its emphasis on the psychology of the 'abnormal' individual. "As psychiatrists and as Christians," write Doctors Terruwe and Baars, "we are not satisfied with merely restoring our patients to their former level of usefulness in society. We want to go beyond utilitarian criteria of performance or adjustment and assist our patients in attaining that level of happiness commensurate with their potentials." The failure of traditional therapy to help many of their patients led the authors to the formulation of a new theory of neurosis - the frustration neurosis. In this massive book the authors unfold this new theory, deeply rooted in Aristotelian and Thomistic philosophy, in as style accessible to both the professional and the intelligent layman. Happily so, since this massive work will be a boon to clergymen, social workers and anyone counselling troubled people. Needless to add, its importance to psychiatrists can hardly be exaggerated. Some of our most creative and intelligent people are emotionally ill. But they can be cured. In clinical detail, with a wealth of case histories, the authors show ho their new theory has proved itself in daily counselling. Doctors Terruwe and Baars are well aware that their theory of frustration neurosis is a challenge to the other schools of psychiatry. For one thing, some of their ideas are rooted in the insights of philosophers whom most psychiatrists have tended to ignore. Yet the proof is in the results, and the authors set forth an impressive record. Every open-minded psychiatrist - indeed everyone who works in counselling - will want to give Doctors Terruwe and Baars a careful reading." --
Book Synopsis Dynamics Of Character by : David Shapiro
Download or read book Dynamics Of Character written by David Shapiro and published by . This book was released on 2009-08-05 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. David Shapiro's first new book in ten years, Dynamics of Character deepens his now-classic studies of psychopathology with this conceptualization of a dynamics of the whole character--a self-regulatory system that encompasses personal attitudes, modes of activity, and relationship with the external world. Extending and magnifying Shapiro's original vision of psychopathology, Dynamics of Character is a resonantly reasoned response to the reduction of complex processes of mind to products of biological defect of psychological trauma.
