Book Synopsis Reading as Therapy by : Timothy Aubry
Download or read book Reading as Therapy written by Timothy Aubry and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2006-05-01 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do Americans read contemporary fiction? This question seems simple, but is it? Do Americans read for the purpose of aesthetic appreciation? To satisfy their own insatiable intellectual curiosities? While other forms of media have come to monopolize consumers’ leisure time, in the past two decades book clubs have proliferated, Amazon has sponsored thriving online discussions, Oprah Winfrey has inspired millions of viewers to read both contemporary works and classics, and novels have retained their devoted following within middlebrow communities. In Reading as Therapy, Timothy Aubry argues that contemporary fiction serves primarily as a therapeutic tool for lonely, dissatisfied middle-class American readers, one that validates their own private dysfunctions while supporting elusive communities of strangers unified by shared feelings. Aubry persuasively makes the case that contemporary literature’s persistent appeal depends upon its capacity to perform a therapeutic function. Aubry traces the growth and proliferation of psychological concepts focused on the subjective interior within mainstream, middle-class society and the impact this has had on contemporary fiction. The prevailing tendency among academic critics has been to decry the personal emphasis of contemporary fiction as complicit with the rise of a narcissistic culture, the ascendency of liberal individualism, and the breakdown of public life. Reading as Therapy, by contrast, underscores the varied ideological effects that therapeutic culture can foster. To uncover the many unpredictable ways in which contemporary literature answers the psychological needs of its readers, Aubry considers several different venues of reader-response—including Oprah’s Book Club and Amazon customer reviews—the promotional strategies of publishing houses, and a variety of contemporary texts, ranging from Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner to Anita Shreve’s The Pilot’s Wife to David Foster Wallace’s Infinite Jest. He concludes that, in the face of an atomistic social landscape, contemporary fiction gives readers a therapeutic vocabulary that both reinforces the private sphere and creates surprising forms of sympathy and solidarity among strangers.

Book Synopsis Cognitive Science by : José Luis Bermúdez
Download or read book Cognitive Science written by José Luis Bermúdez and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-03-27 with total page 555 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cognitive Science combines the interdisciplinary streams of cognitive science into a unified narrative in an all-encompassing introduction to the field. This text presents cognitive science as a discipline in its own right, and teaches students to apply the techniques and theories of the cognitive scientist's 'toolkit' - the vast range of methods and tools that cognitive scientists use to study the mind. Thematically organized, rather than by separate disciplines, Cognitive Science underscores the problems and solutions of cognitive science, rather than those of the subjects that contribute to it - psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, etc. The generous use of examples, illustrations, and applications demonstrates how theory is applied to unlock the mysteries of the human mind. Drawing upon cutting-edge research, the text has been updated and enhanced to incorporate new studies and key experiments since the first edition. A new chapter on consciousness has also been added.

Book excerpt: "Compelling and thought-provoking." —John Burnham Schwartz, author of Reservation Road When the body fails, you've got two choices. Send the doctor in, or send a prayer up. But when no miracle arrives, how do you pull out a measure of hope? Dr. Wolfgang Pike would love nothing more than to finish the requiem he's composing for his late wife, but the ending seems as hopeless as the patients dying a hundred yards away at the Waverly Hills Tuberculosis sanatorium. If he can't ease his own pain with music, he tries to ease theirs — but his boss thinks music is a waste, and in 1920s Louisville, the specter of racial tensions looms over everything. When a retired concert pianist arrives, Wolfgang is thrust into an orchestra of the most extraordinary kind that emerges to change everything.

Book excerpt: From the Author's Intro: What if you lost a loved one, and were left emotionally and spiritually devastated? What if your loved one had never paid much attention, during life, to the spiritual side of existence? What if you had the ability to help in the spiritual realm, and at the same time help yourself move through the grieving process? The belief that love can reach into the afterlife, that reciprocal giving and receiving is possible, where our affection for one another continues beyond the limits of death-this has been a fundamental conviction of Christianity throughout the ages and it remains a source of comfort today. Who would not feel the need to convey to their departed loved ones a sign of kindness, a gesture of gratitude or even a request for pardon... An incredibly cogent and compelling path for those suffering the loss of a loved one, a way to help the departed on their evolutionary spiritual journey as well as the first step to beginning the healing process in the hearts of the loved ones left behind. A thoughtful and sensitive gift for those needing guidance in a time of loss. It not only takes you by the hand and shows you how it works but delves deeply into the metaphysical aspect to show you why. An exceptional addition to anyone's metaphysical library. David Allen, Author of The Power of I AM The title, Reading to the Dead: A Transitional Grief Therapy for the Living, immediately caught my attention and made me want to know more.
