Book Synopsis Many Faces of Love by : Kaarina Määttä
Download or read book Many Faces of Love written by Kaarina Määttä and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-19 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do we actually talk about when we talk about love? Research on love and emotions has been met with suspicion although people live in a network of relationships from birth to death, and the ability to build and maintain relationships is an important strength. This book provides a comprehensive research-based analysis of love in human life: romantic love and its ups and downs, and the fascination of love, the combination of work and family, the secrets of a long-lasting marriage, senior love, and the throes and relief of a divorce. Love is also discussed in relation to other phenomena, such as friendship, play, and creativity. In addition, themes of parental love and pedagogical love, and the ability to love, as well as dark sides of love are introduced. Love is worth cherishing and practicing. Other people’s experiences may be helpful, and information about the nature of love can relieve the pain. Thus, love, in its various forms, makes the best health insurance! This book is meant for everyone interested in love but also for professionals in various fields, such as psychologists, educators, and couple and family counselors. The book is based on authors Prof. Kaarina Määttä’s and Dr. Satu Uusiautti’s extensive research on love at the University of Lapland, Finland.
Book Synopsis The Many Faces of Polyamory by : Magdalena J. Fosse
Download or read book The Many Faces of Polyamory written by Magdalena J. Fosse and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-23 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Many Faces of Polyamory: Longing and Belonging in Concurrent Relationships provides new perspectives on polyamory and the longing to belong in the relatively uncharted territory of nonnormative relationships. This volume offers a valuable and compelling account on how to approach polyamorous relationships from the clinical perspective. While there is no uniform answer, Dr. Fosse’s compassionate and discerning approach that combines relative neutrality, an open-minded embrace of nontraditional lifestyle choices, and skilful attention to countertransference dynamics is likely to be inspiring. Dr. Fosse exposes the dynamics of love, sex, jealousy, and compersion as they play out in lives of those interested in polyamory, and more broadly, consensual nonmonogamy. Her focus is on relationships worth having. With its nuanced clinical focus, The Many Faces of Polyamory will be an essential resource for psychotherapists, educators, students, and anyone inside and outside of the mental health field drawn to the intricacies of sexuality, intimacy, and how they are intertwined with relational satisfaction

Book Synopsis The Many Faces of Subud by : Riantee Lydia Rand
Download or read book The Many Faces of Subud written by Riantee Lydia Rand and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2005-04-18 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Subud is a direct and spontaneous spiritual experience that allows people to receive a contact with the Great Life Force. It re-awakens their inner feeling and puts them in touch with their own guidance, eventually bringing to the surface their true nature which was before obstructed and cluttered with erroneous beliefs, ancestral patterns of behavior, culture, education and their family malfunctions. Many have found a deeper understanding of their own religious beliefs from the evidence they receive for themselves. Others have come to actualize their true talent and work. There are Subud groups in eighty countries, bringing together harmoniously people of many different religious and ethnic backgrounds. The spiritual practice, or latihan, arises from within. It is a natural process that occurs without effort or study. This book is the result of the collaborative effort of three women who have practiced the latihan of Subud for decades. It compiles testimonies of Subud members from all over the world, on different topics. Each chapter begins with a short account of observations, experiences, receivings and dreams on the subject. People interviewed were of different age groups, social and ethnic backgrounds, some newly opened in Subud, some older members, some second and third generation Subud. The opening latihan when one first receives this contact - is a ceremony of introduction into the spiritual exercise after a three-month period of inquiry referred to as the probation or investigation period. Through the latihan people renew their contact with the power of God and become aware of the latent powers that reside in all of humankind. The central feature of Subud is the latihan kejiwaan, or inner training, which takes place for half an hour up to an hour, two or three times a week, and is practiced by men and women separately. Subud has little doctrinal teaching except for the belief in divine power and higher centers of consciousness. The implication is that people practicing the latihan align themselves with those higher centers. It is available to any person seventeen and older who has a sincere wish to worship God and wants to receive this contact. The action of the latihan within each person allows the power of God to express itself spontaneously through singing, chanting, shouting, moving, dancing, crying, laughing, etc. Subuds founder, Bapak Muhammad Subuh, explains that in this way, when in the latihan we make a complete surrender to the Power of God (or the Great Life Force), we can receive the education of our inner selves, free from interference by our minds and hearts and according to our own individual needs. Participants have often reported strong feelings of rapture and release, psychological and physical healing. During latihan, one lets go of thoughts and emotions in order to follow what surfaces: those movements and sounds that spontaneously arise from deep within. It is a form of cleansing which allows the worship of God to become stronger and less obstructed, a training that lets individuals get in touch, develop and trust their inner guidance, enabling the complete self to emerge through an action that comes from beyond the thinking and the will.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based on a black woman who has a multiple personality disorder. I created the characters from my experience with menopause. A multiple personality disorder is similar to menopause. The mood swings, the hot flashes, memory loss, and other symptoms. The character Sarah had a lot of bad experiences with some black men at a young age. Sarah discovered that she had other personalities at fifty- years old. The incident that made her aware of her condition could have landed her in jail. Instead it landed her in therapy. During therapy she learned about incidents with some black men that she had completely blocked out, until she is hypnotized. That is when she saw Ruby, Bella, and Shelia on video tape. I hope my readers enjoy the characters I created from The MANY FACES OF ME Brenda.

Book Synopsis The Power of Will in International Conflict by : Wayne Michael Hall
Download or read book The Power of Will in International Conflict written by Wayne Michael Hall and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2018-09-20 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive work provides a treasure trove of ways to seek, find, and use the power of will to gain an advantage over one's opponents in mental conflicts. Will has been-and always will be-the basis for succeeding in any conflict or competition. To win in a conflict or competition, decision-makers must comprehend the meaning and implications of will and successfully transform theories about it into practice. In the 21st century, it is especially important for military leaders and security professionals to comprehend will in sufficient depth to enable them to impose their will on other resisting entities and learn how to block or parry their adversaries' efforts to impose their will on them. This book will go a long way in helping decision-makers achieve these goals. Each chapter in this book addresses one of 14 elements that will help readers to use will successfully over their adversaries: life-force, purpose, strength of motive, capabilities, determination, perseverance, sacrifice, passion, advantage, disadvantage, imposition, action, assessment, and adaptation. The book also provides readers with 18 considerations that will serve them well in all types of conflicts. This book will be particularly beneficial to decision-makers in the military, law enforcement, and business, as well as attorneys and judges.

Book Synopsis The Many Faces of Abuse by : Joan Lachkar
Download or read book The Many Faces of Abuse written by Joan Lachkar and published by Jason Aronson, Incorporated. This book was released on 1998-05-01 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject is emotional abuse—the ongoing process whereby one person attempts to destroy the will, needs, desires, or perceptions of another. The object is the well-educated, high-functioning professional woman. Dr. Joan Lachkar examines the origins and early warning signs of the psychological violation she describes as a dance between abuser and abused. She goes on to introduce typologies of each (the narcissistic or passive-aggressive abuser, the unentitled self) and to explore the bases for their collusive attachments. Addressing therapeutic functions like empathy, containment, and countertransference, and following a couple's evolution from a state of fusion through transitional two-ness to emerging separateness, dependent and interdependent, Dr. Lachkar applies her psychodynamic approach to treatment, informed by object relations and self psychology, and complete with guidelines for technique and practical suggestions for the couple.
Book Synopsis The Many Faces of Productivity by : Lloyd A. Luna
Download or read book The Many Faces of Productivity written by Lloyd A. Luna and published by The Luna® Group. This book was released on 2018-07-01 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspiring success stories can spark your productivity, strengthen your leadership, propel you on the road to your own success. And when those stories are told by the very people who have attained success despite odds big or small, people who have conquered their own self-doubts and adversity in their careers, they can set you on fire and get you going in earnest to become more productive and successful yourself. This book will get you intimately acquainted with the real-life narratives and wisdom of 17 of the country’s finest professional motivational gurus and experts, all of whom are members of the Philippine Association of Professional Speakers (PAPS). Sure, they’re often first to admit that they are far from perfect role models, but what they’ve learned and gone through over the years to get them started—whether as “barker” to call out the numbers in raffle draws, as a young girl in grade school selling yema and polvoron to classmates simply because she loved talking to people and making sales pitches, or as a struggling marketing wannabe twice refused membership in a profession organization because he simply didn’t know how to speak before big audiences—are compelling testaments to their untiring efforts to achieve excellence and productivity. In taped interviews the featured motivational speakers in this book answer such probing questions as these five: "How did you start as a professional speaker?" “What is your core message?” “What makes a person productive?” “What does it take to be a person of influence?” “What are your three keys for success?” Their answers—some pleasantly familiar but very revealing on who they thought they were and what they wanted to be, some totally unexpected because they seem to have come right out of the blue—show the many faces of the quest for productivity that are now distilled in this one-of-a-kind book about success.
Book Synopsis A Passion for Ignorance by : Renata Salecl
Download or read book A Passion for Ignorance written by Renata Salecl and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2022-11-29 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An original and provocative exploration of our capacity to ignore what is inconvenient or traumatic Ignorance, whether passive or active, conscious or unconscious, has always been a part of the human condition, Renata Salecl argues. What has changed in our post-truth, postindustrial world is that we often feel overwhelmed by the constant flood of information and misinformation. It sometimes seems impossible to differentiate between truth and falsehood and, as a result, there has been a backlash against the idea of expertise, and a rise in the number of people actively choosing not to know. The dangers of this are obvious, but Salecl challenges our assumptions, arguing that there may also be a positive side to ignorance, and that by addressing the role of ignorance in society, we may also be able to reclaim the role of knowledge. Drawing on philosophy, social and psychoanalytic theory, popular culture, and her own experience, Salecl explores how the passion for ignorance plays out in many different aspects of life today, from love, illness, trauma, and the fear of failure to genetics, forensic science, big data, and the incel movement—and she concludes that ignorance is a complex phenomenon that can, on occasion, benefit individuals and society as a whole. The result is a fascinating investigation of how the knowledge economy became an ignorance economy, what it means for us, and what it tells us about the world today.

Book Synopsis The Many Faces of Judge Lynch by : C. Waldrep
Download or read book The Many Faces of Judge Lynch written by C. Waldrep and published by Springer. This book was released on 2002-11-08 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. is the most violent industrialized country in the world, and lynching - that is, murder endorsed by the community - may be a key to understanding America's heritage of violence and perhaps point to solutions that can eradicate it. While lynchings are predominantly racial in tone and motive, Christopher Waldrep's sweeping study of the meaning and uses of lynching from the colonial period to the present reveals that the definition of the term has shifted dramatically over time, and that the victims and perpetuators of lynching were as diverse as its many meanings. By examining lynching from a comparative and temporal perspective, Waldrep teaches us important lessons not only about racial violence in America, but about the ways in which communities define and justify crime and the punishment of its criminals.
