This book was released on 1993-09-21 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents in detail seven contemporary approaches to dream interpretation as they are actually practiced by highly skilled and experienced psychiatrists and psychologists who have worked with dreams for at least a decade. The reader can sample radically different approaches from various schools of interpetation and gain the tools for making meaningful comparisons. The contributors describe their theoretical roots and how they have departed from them when confronted with the real world of real dreamers. Each chapter teaches the reader in practical terms what to do when trying to understand a dream of one's own, or one's friend, colleague, or client. Readers are taken behind the curtain of theory into the consultation room where the work of interpretation takes place. This book provides a variety of contemporary, non-dogmatic, practical ways to work with dreams. Each contributor emphasizes not theory, but interpretive method and practical application of dream interpretation. Contributors to this volume include John E. Beebe, Eric Craig, Gayle Delaney, Loma K. Flowers, Ramon Greenberg, Milton Kramer, Joe Natterson, Chester Arthur Pearlman, Montague Ullman, and Stephen J. Walsh.

Book Synopsis New Directions in the Anthropology of Dreaming by : Jeannette Mageo
Download or read book New Directions in the Anthropology of Dreaming written by Jeannette Mageo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-08 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents new directions in contemporary anthropological dream research, surveying recent theorizations of dreaming that are developing both in and outside of anthropology. It incorporates new findings in neuroscience and philosophy of mind while demonstrating that dreams emerge from and comment on sociohistorical and cultural contexts. The chapters are written by prominent anthropologists working at the intersection of culture and consciousness who conduct ethnographic research in a variety of settings around the world, and reflect how dreaming is investigated by a range of informants in ever more diverse sites. As well as theorizing the dream in light of current anthropological and psychological research, the volume accounts for local dream theories and how they are situated within distinct cultural ontologies. It considers dreams as a resource for investigating and understanding cultural change; dreaming as a mode of thinking through, contesting, altering, consolidating, or escaping from identity; and the nature of dream mentation. In proposing new theoretical approaches to dreaming, the editors situate the topic within the recent call for an "anthropology of the night" and illustrate how dreams offer insight into current debates within anthropology’s mainstream. This up-to-date book defines a twenty-first century approach to culture and the dream that will be relevant to scholars from anthropology as well as other disciplines such as religious studies, the neurosciences, and psychology.
Book Synopsis The Dream of My Return by : Horacio Castellanos Moya
Download or read book The Dream of My Return written by Horacio Castellanos Moya and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2015-03-10 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A high-octane paranoia deranges a writer and fuels a dangerous plan to return home to El Salvador. High-octane paranoia deranges a writer and fuels a dangerous plan to return home at the tail end of El Salvador's long civil war. Is the plan a dream or a nightmare? Is he courageous, foolhardy, or just plain dumb? Is the bubbling brew of horrors and threats actual or imagined? After he seeks relief for liver pain through hypnosis (while drinking more than ever, despite the treatments), his few impulse-control mechanisms rapidly dissolve, and reality only rarely intrudes on his cogitations. Harebrained murder plots, half-mad arguments, hysterical rants: the narrative escalates at a maniacal pace, infused with Horacio Castellanos Moya's uniquely outlandish and acerbic sense of humor.
Book Synopsis The Interwoven Sources of Dreams by : Umberto Barcaro
Download or read book The Interwoven Sources of Dreams written by Umberto Barcaro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-29 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of this book is the study of dreaming from a specific point of view, one that provides useful and enlightening results: the analysis of the complex patterns of links among the memory sources of dreams. The significance of these patterns is logical and emotional at the same time. This approach is interdisciplinary: it directly involves the fields of psychology, psychotherapy, linguistics, computer science, mathematics (graph theory), history of psychology, literature, and motion pictures. However, no specific advanced expertise in any of these fields is required for understanding the various contents. The book is divided into three parts. Part 1 is dedicated to theories and methodologies regarding dream functions and dream interpretations: these theories and methodologies are considered in the perspective of their implications for the study of links among dream sources. Some meaningful examples of dreams, or metaphors or dreams, that can be found in poetry or motion pictures, are also considered.
Book Synopsis The Counselor's Guide for Facilitating the Interpretation of Dreams by : Evelyn M. Duesbury
Download or read book The Counselor's Guide for Facilitating the Interpretation of Dreams written by Evelyn M. Duesbury and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-01-07 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For both students and practicing counselors, this book fills the gaps that exist between many current academic programs and practitioner’s needs for focused training on how to better assist clients with dream interpretations. Its main focus is on dreams concerning family members and other major figures in the dreamer's life with whom he or she interacts. Readers will first learn how to understand and use their own dreams, and then how to apply this in order to facilitate their clients’ interpretations of dreams. They will be amazed and fascinated by the issues, emotions, and problem-solving suggestions that are often revealed as they guide their clients' use of a personalized dream interpretation method developed by the author. Through the use of a detailed case example of a client and her dreams, the author shows how each step of this method can be applied and carried out in practice and is easily integrated with contemporary psychotherapies, especially cognitive behavior therapies.

Book Synopsis New Directions in Gender and Religion by : Brigid M. Sackey
Download or read book New Directions in Gender and Religion written by Brigid M. Sackey and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2006 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brigid M. Sackey's book is a comprehensive analysis of gender relations in religion in Ghana, using gendered anthropological tools of rare insight and originality. The book chronicles the efforts of men and women who bring a repackaged and customized Christianity and health delivery to meet with the specific cultural needs. Sackey disabuses notions of the helplessness of women in Ghana specifically (and Africa in general) as it highlights women's initiatives and assertiveness as healers and leaders of the churches they have founded, in addition to their increased involvement and participation in gender discourses and social change. Sackey also addresses the question of HIV and the AIDS epidemic, detailing how the churches, through the specific leadership of women, are supporting a national campaign on the disease. Basing her research on an exhaustive library of oral history, ethnography, theory, and case studies, Sackey has brilliantly chronicled the relentless proliferation of and innovations in African Independent Churches, and their impact on the national health delivery system and its development.

Book Synopsis Migraines and Dreams by : Altan Loker
Download or read book Migraines and Dreams written by Altan Loker and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The method of scientific investigation used in this book and explained in its first chapter is the method described by Isaac Newton in his book The Principia, which is continually used by him and all other physicists but not by psychologists. The great truth exposed by using this method to understand migraine is that the head pain and the associated symptoms are automatic responses created by evolution and controlled unconsciously to realize self-protection and survival. This fact is also derived from Freud's and Jung's works by using Newton's method. It is also shown that the results of research on the physiological processes that are related to the production of headache do not make the above etiology impossible but rather suggest it. A migraineur has a problem that harms his/her interests seriously, but he/she does not deal with it adequately for various reasons and represses it in some measure. His/her unconscious produces symptoms that carry analogic messages urging him/her to resolve that problem and also punish him/her for not doing that. Sometimes a symptom is so timely and intense that it prevents a self-harming action. Thus, headache means: "Get wise; stop making that mistake; stop hurting yourself!" Eye pain means: "Don't ignore the events that hurt you!" Nausea and vomiting mean: "Don't tolerate ugly events!" The other symptoms too carry self-protective messages related to the patient's life experiences. Psychotherapy consists of making a patient consciously understand and deal adequately with the problem that his/her unconscious wishes him/her to resolve so that the symptoms become unneeded as message carriers. Evidently, this method necessitates cooperation with the unconscious, whereas all existing therapies combat its products, i.e., the symptoms, and thereby make the symptoms all the more needed. A migraineur can do this work with or without the help of a therapist who is familiar with this method. Dreams too are automatic responses that serve to realize self-protection and survival and carry more diagnostic and therapeutic information and ideas compared to symptoms. Also, dreams can be induced that deal with consciously chosen issues. Therefore symptoms and dreams are interpreted together, as explained in this book. This theory predicts a patients' relevant life experiences in general terms, facilitates the discovery of their particulars, explains the causes, meanings, and functions of his/her symptoms and dreams, and realizes very fast and definitive cures. More than 120 headache and facial pain sufferers have been cured in very short times using this method, as illustrated by 50 original case histories This book is published for the use of headache patients and their therapists and contains the relevant chapters of my earlier book COGNITIVE-BEHAVIORAL CYBERNETICS OF SYMPTOMS, DREAMS, LATERALIZATION: THEORY, INTERPRETATION, THERAPY. This earlier book exposes the adaptive and self-protective functions of the most conspicuous automatic responses such as pain, fear, anxiety, repression, all symptoms of primary mental disorders, response to stage and screen plays, laughter and tears, structural responses such as cerebral lateralization, and so forth. The fact that all those phenomena can be explained, predicted, and controlled on the basis of the same principles proves that those principles reflect the truth.
Book Synopsis The Palgrave Handbook of New Directions in Kashmir Studies by : Haley Duschinski
Download or read book The Palgrave Handbook of New Directions in Kashmir Studies written by Haley Duschinski and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-06-01 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Palgrave Handbook of New Directions in Kashmir Studies provides a comprehensive, interdisciplinary and transregional perspective on the Kashmir dispute. Spanning South and Central Asia, Kashmir has been at the center of geopolitical conflicts and rivalries among India, Pakistan and China for decades, with members of heterogeneous local communities negotiating the complexities of regional state formations, national power assertions and geopolitical competitions. Taken together, the chapters in this handbook examine diverse people’s struggles to establish processes of democratic accountability in relation to the colonial-era state consolidations, postcolonial military occupations, interstate wars, intrastate armed conflicts and cold war and post-cold war politics that have shaped and transformed social and political identities in the region. Contributors chart out varied and bold new directions by attending to local constellations of situated knowledges and practices through which people living in different parts of the disputed region make sense of the conditions and contingencies of their political lives. The handbook further initiates a dialogue on the ways in which state power and border regimes have shaped scholarship and undermined the pursuit of shared intellectual and political projects across physical and epistemological boundaries.
