Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a psychological age. Contemporary culture is saturated with psychological concepts and ideas, from anxiety to narcissism to trauma. While it might seem that concern over psychological conditions and challenges is intrinsically oriented toward moral questions about what promotes individual and collective well-being, it is striking that from the advent of Freudian psychoanalysis in the late nineteenth-century up to recent findings in cognitive science, psychology has posed a continuing challenge to traditional concepts of moral deliberation, judgment, and action, all core components of moral philosophy and central to understandings of character and tragedy in literature. Psyche and Ethos: Moral Life After Psychology explores the nature of psychology's consequential effects on our understanding of the moral life. Using a range of examples from literature and literary criticism alongside discussions of psychological literature from psychoanalysis to recent cognitive science and social psychology, this study argues for a renewed look at the persistence of moral orientations toward life and the values of integrity, fidelity, and repair that they privilege. Writings by Shakespeare, Henry James, and George Eliot, and the powerful contributions of British object relations theorists in the post-war period, help to draw out the fundamental ways we experience moral time, the forms of elusive duration that constitute loss, grief, regret, and the desire for amends. Acknowledging the power and necessity of psychological frameworks, Psyche and Ethos aims to restore moral understanding and moral experience to a more central place in our understanding of psychic life and the literary tradition.
Book Synopsis Through Openhearted Sincerity by : Julian Hamer
Download or read book Through Openhearted Sincerity written by Julian Hamer and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-05 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The heart of the soul is the non-physical epitome of the human being. As such it serves as a direct conduit and mainstay between the individual and the supernal nature. Indeed, at this time of emerging self-knowledge and the discovery of respective singularity, the necessity of direct correspondence has never been more imperative. The justification for the requirement of a deliberately established authority concerning individual development rests upon the necessity of a prospective exemplification that perfectly illustrates the future human being. That is to say, we do not possess an ideal progressive archetype under the prevalent arrangement but only a confused and imperfect consciousness. In other words, within the extant individual constitution resides only a cumulative mentality that served former generations in a manner that was suitable to a Natural, inborn configuration but remains entirely inadequate for a succeeding disposition of existential liberty. Consequently, we must assume an ethos that we do not yet possess. We do this through the direct experience of the supernal nature by openhearted sincerity. Consequently, when we consider the redemption of the soul, we must contemplate the entirety of the evolutionary process. That is to say, it is less a matter of salvation but more correctly one of successive development. Therefore, at this time of awakening individuality, it is imperative that the soul should identify with a consummate paradigm and directly experience its own prospective nature through sincere engagement. In this way we recognize the consequences of developmental indifference because the human moribund mentality is spent and no longer serves continuing development. Accordingly, dependency upon a redundant frame of mind is self-defeating because the former outlook is entirely inadequate in terms of the qualitative evolution of the soul. In fact, humanity must progress because the present standards have become regressive and unsupportable in the sense that they antagonize progress towards a meaningful future. At this time, human evolution has become a conscious selection in that, in order to progress, the individual must be alert and participatory in its improvement because further development now requires a mind that is awake and knowingly engaged. That is to say, we are presently dealing with the condition of the human psyche. As such, the heart must become deliberately receptive to a successive disposition because it is within the heart of the soul that the timbre of the psyche is established. In order that the human mentality may become appropriately reoriented and reestablished according to a successive disposition, the heart must become vulnerable to the influence of the exemplary prospective nature and identify with it through affinity. The reason why this is important concerns the manner of the human subliminal mind. It is not possible to replace the moribund mentality oneself upon the strength of the extant psyche because we are each only one person. Consequently, we cannot self-ameliorate but must adopt a successive disposition at the most profound level of the human soul. Unfortunately, after centuries of misrepresentation and further intentional distortion, we have only a very remote understanding of the supernal nature. Nevertheless, it is not through rationale that the successive, exemplary disposition is acknowledged but by direct engagement. That is to say, the heart as the essential substance of the soul must discover its own future constitution by openhearted sincerity, whereupon the ideal begins to impress the essential human being with an ethos that is appropriately constituted towards a meaningful future.
Download or read book Character written by Amanda Anderson and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2019-10-23 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last few decades, character-based criticism has been seen as either naive or obsolete. But now questions of character are attracting renewed interest. Making the case for a broad-based revision of our understanding of character, Character rethinks these questions from the ground up. Is it really necessary to remind literary critics that characters are made up of words? Must we forbid identification with characters? Does character-discussion force critics to embrace humanism and outmoded theories of the subject? Across three chapters, leading scholars Amanda Anderson, Rita Felski, and Toril Moi reimagine and renew literary studies by engaging in a conversation about character. Moi returns to the fundamental theoretical assumptions that convinced literary scholars to stop doing character-criticism, and shows that they cannot hold. Felski turns to the question of identification and draws out its diverse strands, as well as its persistence in academic criticism. Anderson shows that character-criticism illuminates both the moral life of characters, and our understanding of literary form. In offering new perspectives on the question of fictional character, this thought-provoking book makes an important intervention in literary studies.
Book Synopsis The Spiritual Psyche in Psychotherapy by : Willow Pearson
Download or read book The Spiritual Psyche in Psychotherapy written by Willow Pearson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-09 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the interaction of spiritual and psychoanalytic lineages with psychotherapy in everyday practice. Written by a team of seasoned clinicians and illustrated through clinical vignettes, chapters explore topics pertaining to the mystical dimensions of psychological and spiritual life and how it may be integrated into clinical practice. Topics discussed include dreams, dissociation, creativity, therapeutic relationship, free association, transcendence, poetry, paradox, doubleness, loss, death, grief, mystery, embodiment and soul. The authors, clinicians with decades of experience in psychotherapy, psychoanalysis and spiritual practice, draw from their deep engagement with spirituality and psychoanalysis, focusing on a particular theme and its application to clinical work that is supported by the generative conversation among these lineages. At once applied and theoretical, this book weaves insights from the heart of Vajrayana Buddhism, Zen Buddhism, Christianity, Catholicism, Ecumenicism, Integral Spirituality, Judaism, Kabbalah, Non-violence, Sufism and Vedanta. They are in conversation with psychoanalytic perspectives including Jungian, Post-Jungian, Winnicottian, Bionian, Post-Bionian and Relational. A felt sense of the spiritual psyche in clinical practice emerges from this conversation among spiritual and psychoanalytic lineages, beckoning clinicians ever further on the path of spiritually rooted, psychodynamic practice.
Book Synopsis The Warrior Ethos by : Steven Pressfield
Download or read book The Warrior Ethos written by Steven Pressfield and published by Black Irish Entertainment LLC. This book was released on 2011-03-02 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WARS CHANGE, WARRIORS DON'T We are all warriors. Each of us struggles every day to define and defend our sense of purpose and integrity, to justify our existence on the planet and to understand, if only within our own hearts, who we are and what we believe in. Do we fight by a code? If so, what is it? What is the Warrior Ethos? Where did it come from? What form does it take today? How do we (and how can we) use it and be true to it in our internal and external lives? The Warrior Ethos is intended not only for men and women in uniform, but artists, entrepreneurs and other warriors in other walks of life. The book examines the evolution of the warrior code of honor and "mental toughness." It goes back to the ancient Spartans and Athenians, to Caesar's Romans, Alexander's Macedonians and the Persians of Cyrus the Great (not excluding the Garden of Eden and the primitive hunting band). Sources include Herodotus, Thucydides, Plutarch, Xenophon, Vegetius, Arrian and Curtius--and on down to Gen. George Patton, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, and Israeli Minister of Defense, Moshe Dayan.

Book Synopsis The Philosophy of Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) by : Donald Robertson
Download or read book The Philosophy of Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) written by Donald Robertson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-27 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This exciting new edition of The Philosophy of Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) demonstrates how techniques and concepts from Socratic philosophy, especially Stoicism, can be integrated into the practise of CBT and other forms of psychotherapy. What can we learn about psychological therapy from ancient philosophers? Psychotherapy and philosophy were not always separate disciplines. Here, Donald Robertson explores the relationship between ancient Greek philosophy and modern cognitive-behavioural psychotherapy. The founders of CBT described Stoicism as providing the "philosophical origins" of their approach and many parallels can be found between Stoicism and CBT, in terms of both theory and practise. Starting with hypnotism and early twentieth century rational psychotherapy and continuing through early behaviour therapy, rational-emotive behaviour therapy (REBT), and cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), the links between Stoic philosophy and modern psychotherapy are identified and explained. This book is the first detailed account of the influence of Stoic philosophy upon modern psychotherapy. It provides a fascinating insight into the revival of interest in ancient Western philosophy as a guide to modern living. It includes many concepts and techniques, which can be readily applied in modern psychotherapy or self-help. This new edition, covering the growth in third-wave CBT, including mindfulness and acceptance-based therapies, will appeal to any mental health practitioner working in this area, as well as students and scholars of these fields.

Book Synopsis A History of Modern Psychology in Context by : Wade Pickren
Download or read book A History of Modern Psychology in Context written by Wade Pickren and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-02-22 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh look at the history of psychology placed in its social, political, and cultural contexts A History of Modern Psychology in Context presents the history of modern psychology in the richness of its many contexts. The authors resist the traditional storylines of great achievements by eminent people, or schools of thought that rise and fall in the wake of scientific progress. Instead, psychology is portrayed as a network of scientific and professional practices embedded in specific temporal, social, political, and cultural contexts. The narrative is informed by three key concepts—indigenization, reflexivity, and social constructionism—and by the fascinating interplay between disciplinary Psychology and everyday psychology. The authors complicate the notion of who is at the center and who is at the periphery of the history of psychology by bringing in actors and events that are often overlooked in traditional accounts. They also highlight how the reflexive nature of Psychology—a science produced both by and about humans—accords history a prominent place in understanding the discipline and the theories it generates. Throughout the text, the authors show how Psychology and psychologists are embedded in cultures that indelibly shape how the discipline is defined and practiced, the kind of knowledge it creates, and how this knowledge is received. The text also moves beyond an exclusive focus on the development of North American and European psychologies to explore the development of psychologies in other indigenous contexts, especially from the mid-20th-century onward.

Book Synopsis Psyche, Culture, World by : Jon Mills
Download or read book Psyche, Culture, World written by Jon Mills and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-10-07 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the array of topics explored in this comprehensive volume, philosopher and psychoanalyst Jon Mills argues for a fundamental return to the question and meaning of existence. Drawing on the traditions of German Idealism, existentialism, and onto-phenomenology, he offers a rich tapestry of insight and critique into the foundations of psyche, human nature, and society. As a philosophy of mind and culture, psychoanalysis offers us a promising perspective to reengage our being in the world in meaningful ways that illuminate human existence, the mysteriousness of unconscious processes, our relation to transcendence, ethical obligations towards social collectives, and the wonder of logos for our present-day consciousness. After examining the unconscious origins of psychic reality and the contradictory nature of our internal lives, Mills examines the scope of existentialism from antiquity to postmodernism, the question of authenticity, paranoiac epistemology, the essence of evil, dysrecognition and social pathology, belief in God, myth, the ideologies of science, hermeneutics, truth, freedom and determinism, and the fate of civilization in relation to the pervasive forces that threaten our existence. Psyche, Culture, World will be of interest to philosophers, psychoanalysts, psychologists, academics, and students in the arts and humanities, cultural studies, anthropology, myth, psychology of religion, and psychotherapy.

Download or read book Culture and Psyche written by Simon Dein and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-21 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book originates from a lecture series given on Psychology and Anthropology at Goldsmiths College London in 2018. It offers an introduction to psychological anthropology, and will be useful both for undergraduates and postgraduates. While providing a critical overview of topics commonly included in psychological anthropological texts, such as psychoanalysis, culture and personality, child development, personality, emotion, the self, memory and cognition, this book also offers a chapter on Darwin, sociobiology and evolutionary psychology to emphasise that behaviour is not infinitely malleable, but, rather, culture impacts existent biological and psychological structures. As shown here, while culture impacts psychological processes, these processes are constrained by genetic, biological and evolutionary factors.
