Sigmund Freud

This is Freud's groundbreaking study of a wealthy young Russian man, subject to psychotic episodes and neuroses. Through the patient's dream of childhood wolves, Freud was able to determine his real problem - that of infantile neurosis brought about by a sexual complex and an Oedipal fixation.

Mark Turner

Turner, a professor of English with a passion for cognitive studies, proposes new and intriguing interpretations of the workings of the mind and the evolution of language and grammar. "The literary mind is the fundamental mind," he states, then launches into a complex explanation of how thoughts take the form of stories, or parables, and how parables are the vehicle for comprehension and organization of experiences. Turner illustrates his definition of the parable--stories with an associative purpose--as the most basic habit of mind in discussions of the tales of Shahrazad and the novels of Proust, but he also dissects such subtle properties of parable as its illumination of space and time. He concludes by rejecting the notion of grammar's being inherent in the genetic code, as theorized by Noam Chomsky, and declares, instead, that parable is the wellspring of grammar. Recommended where literary theory has an audience. Donna Seaman

E.J. Lawler

Hardbound. Advances in Group Processes publishes theoretical analyses, reviews and theory based empirical chapters on group phenomena. Volume 18 addresses a broad range of theoretical and empirical questions that cut across sociology, psychology, economics, and political science. The first two contributions examine the perceptual and interactional factors that result in leadership and inequality in small groups. The next chapter explores the psychology of buying and selling, focusing in particular on theperceptual biases that emerge when individuals exchange money for goods. The fourth chapter seeks to identify important personal characteristics and social factors that precipitate trust among strangers. Two chapters then address relatively new questionsin the social sciences. Chapter five asks how the study of autistic individuals can shed light on basic cognitive processes and a theory of the mind. Chapter six shows how evolutionary psychology

George Dunbar

Using a series of over 40 case studies, this valuable text illustrates the processes and pitfalls involved in evaluating psychological research. The author describes each case in a clear and concise way. He then invites the reader to consider whether the conclusion drawn at the end of the case is correct, or whether the results could have an alternative explanation. Cross–referencing between sections is made easy by page references that link the case studies and explanations. The cases reflect the range of research methods taught at undergraduate level and include qualitative research. This case–study approach gives students a detailed understanding of methodological problems. It helps them to appreciate the difficulties of designing research, whether their own or other people?s, and equips them to critically evaluate published research.

The Future of an Illusion, Mourning and Melancholia

S.R. Thye, E.J. Lawler

Hardbound. Advances in Group Processes publishes theoretical analyses, reviews and theory based empirical chapters on group phenomena. Volume 19 includes papers that address fundamental issues of Solidarity, Cohesion and Trust . Chapter one shows how solidarity is a consequence of group-level phenomena (i.e. competition) and individual level phenomena (i.e. similarity). The second chapter examines solidarity among injection drug users, showing that the cohesion and solidarity of drug users are patterned by principles of collective action. The next two chapters integrate extant theories to provide new insights. Chapter three integrates principles of social exchange, status organizing processes, and game theory to theorize solidarity; while chapter four shows how new research on emotions can explain solidarity in status-differentiated groups. Two chapters then review and analyze long-standing programs of research on cohesion and trust. Chap

This book is intended to be a sourcebook for all those who work with people who self–injure, whether in the health and social services, forensic services or the voluntary sector. The approach recognises self–injury as a behaviour reflecting complex psychosocial difficulties in distressed individuals. The topic of self–mutilation is defined and located within the range of other self–destructive behaviours such as parasuicide. A detailed examination of the origins and functional nature of self–injury forms the basis for the authors? recommendations towards providing services in this area. The issues facing those who work with people who self–injure are examined in detail. The authors have drawn on their experience to formulate a theoretical foundation with practical guidelines for work in various settings, including psychotherapy. The importance of supervision and support for practitioners working in this area is stressed.

John Ince

John Ince probes the nooks and crannies of the modern erotic mind and discovers that below our seeming enthusiasm for sex is a reservoir of fear. While we are drawn to sex, it also secretly disturbs us. Ours is a culture of sexual bravado, not sexual joy. Ince offers a sweeping re-evaluation of our sexual ethics. He finds powerful anxieties lurking in our attitudes to every type of erotic expression, from nudity to public sex, masturbation to homosexuality, monogamy to group sex, pornography to prostitution, teen sexuality to erotic art. This erotic malaise powerfully affects our lives. It stunts sexual passion, inhibits frank and honest talk about sex, and generates shame about sexual organs. It even influences our political orientation. Our sex-negativity is the product of a fascinating but toxic social system that this book is the first to identify. The challenging ideas set out in The Politics of Lust will give you a radical new perspective on both your sexuality and...
