Download or read book A New Theory of Cultural Archetypes written by David Midgley and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-04-23 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book overcomes the limitations of existing models of national culture by presenting a novel archetypal methodology that captures heterogeneity within and between nations in a simple manner. The authors incorporate this methodology into a new, empirically derived theory of nations as composites of diverse culture configurations (or archetypes). The theory, which is illustrated through data on secular and emancipative values obtained from the European and World Value Surveys, shows the unity and diversity of these values across 117 nations, and identifies trends in global culture over four decades. Based on the authors' research, the book argues that universal archetypes capture the unity and diversity of the global cultural mosaic with precision and fidelity. By reflecting the reality of changing culture around the world with greater clarity, the book’s novel approach provides a comprehensive lens for international business scholars, practitioners, and policy makers to view, understand and explain culture-related phenomena.
Download or read book Management Research International Business and National Culture written by Sunil Venaik and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-06-27 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do different groups of people behave in different ways when dealing with the common challenges of human life? The answer often lies in their cultural attitudes, values, and consequent behaviours. The study of human culture has been deemed a key contribution to understanding human life for many centuries. Explanations and descriptions of cultural characteristics abound, but in the field of business, none have been more influential and warmly embraced than those developed by Geert Hofstede and the GLOBE group. These models of national culture, which characterise Japanese, Americans, French, and may other nationalities in terms of common characteristics such as collectivism, masculinity, and power distance, are most widely cited and applied in business research, teaching, and recommendations for practice. But this seminal work needs a careful reality check. The authors of this book point out a range of problems associated with the Hofstede and GLOBE national culture measures which bring into question their accuracy and usefulness in meeting the expectations of management culture researchers and students. This book explains in detail why the measures developed by Hofstede and GLOBE are of dubious validity and why they should be viewed with caution by those looking for answers to the complex questions of culture.
Download or read book Archetypes in Religion and Beyond written by Robert M. Ellis and published by Equinox Publishing (UK). This book was released on 2022 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jungian concept of archetypes is of immense value for critically distinguishing what is potentially of universal practical value in religious and other cultural traditions, and separating this from the dogmatic elements. However, Jung encumbered the concept of archetypes with debatable constructions like the 'collective unconscious' that are unnecessary for understanding their practical function. This book puts forward a far-reaching new theory of archetypes that is functional without being reductive. At the centre of this is the idea that archetypes are adaptations to help us maintain inspiration over time. Humans are such distractable beings that they need constant reminders to maintain integration with their most sustainable intentions: reminders using the profound power of symbol linked to embodied experience. This multi-disciplinary book weaves together religious studies, ethical philosophy, the psychology of bias, the neuroscience of brain lateralisation, the linguistics of embodied meaning, the feedback loops of systems theory, with a lifetime's experience of Buddhist practice and appreciation of symbolism in the arts: all with the aim of producing a fresh understanding of the role of archetypes in religion and beyond, that can also be directly applied in practice.

Download or read book Archetypal Ontology written by Jon Mills and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-03-28 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this novel re-examination of the archetype construct, philosopher Jon Mills and psychiatrist Erik Goodwyn engage in spirited dialogue on the origins, nature, and scope of what archetypes actually constitute, their relation to the greater questions of psyche and worldhood, and their relevance for Jungian studies and analytical psychology today. Arguably the most definitive feature of Jung’s metapsychology is his theory of archetypes. It is the fulcrum on which his analytical depth psychology rests. With recent trends in post-Jungian and neo-Jungian perspectives that have embraced developmental, relational, social justice, and postmodern paradigms, classical archetype theory has largely become a drowning genre. Despite the archetypal school of James Hillman and his contemporaries, and the archetype debates that captured our attention over two decades ago, contemporary Jungians are preoccupied with the lived reality of the existential subject and the personal unconscious over the collective transpersonal forces derived from archaic ontology. Archetypal Ontology will be of interest to psychoanalysts, philosophers, transpersonal psychologists, cultural theorists, anthropologists, religious scholars, and scholars in many disciplines in the arts and humanities, analytical psychology, and post-Jungian studies.

Download or read book C G Jung s Archetype Concept written by Christian Roesler and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-28 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of archetypes is at the core of C. G. Jung’s analytical psychology. In this interesting and accessible volume, Roesler summarises the classical theory of archetypes and the archetypal stages of the individuation process as it was developed by Jung and his students. Various applications of archetypes, in cultural studies as well as in clinical practice, are demonstrated with detailed case studies, dream series, myths, fairy tales, and so on. The book also explores how the concept has further developed as a result of research and, for the first time, integrates findings from anthropology, human genetics, and the neurosciences. Based on these contemporary insights, Roesler also makes a compelling argument for why some of Jung’s views on the concept should be comprehensively revised. Offering new insights on foundational Jungian topics like the collective unconscious, persona, and shadow, C. G. Jung’s Archetype Concept is of great interest to Jungian students, analysts, psychotherapists, and scholars.

Book excerpt: The Jungian approach to analysis and psychotherapy has been undergoing an extensive reconsideration during the past decade. Analytical Psychology calls special attention to the areas that have been most impacted: the core concepts and practices of the Jungian tradition, along with relevant intellectual and historical background. Internationally renowned authors drawing on the forefront of advance in neuroscience, evolution, psychoanalysis, and philosophical and historical studies, provide an overview of the most important aspects of these developments. Beginning with a chronicle of the history of the Jungian movement, areas covered include: * a background to the notion of 'archetype' * human development from a Jungian perspective * the creative extension of Jung's theory of psychological types * re-evaluation of traditional Jungian methods of treatment in the light of contemporary scientific findings * Jungian development of transference and countertransference * a new formulation of synchronicity. Analytical Psychology presents a unique opportunity to witness a school of psychotherapy going through a renaissance. Drawing on original insights from its founder, C.G. Jung, this book helps focus and shape the current state of analytical psychology and point to areas for future exploration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ïProfessor Kostera is a consummate writer whose studies stand out for originality of approach. Her contribution to our knowledge of the inner mechanisms and wider effects of organizations is impossible to over-value: indeed without KosteraÍs input, our knowledge of organizations, the successive reincarnations and strategy changes would be so much poorer. The book is pursued with exquisite consistency and sense of purpose. It is presented in all its enormous cognitive potential and exceptional analytical utility. A study of great value to both students and practitioners of organization.Í _ Zygmunt Bauman, University of Leeds, UK This book reflects on organizations through archetypical tales-stories particularly resonant with deep meanings present in culture and the soul. Archetypes are common patterns containing hidden images of human motivations, offering inspiration and awakening imagination. This book is a collection of such tales, connected to twelve organizational archetypes, where each are illustrated by more general theoretical reflections, current management and organization theory literature, as well as practical examples. Monika Kostera proposes an imagery and language for self-management and self-organization for non-corporate use including entrepreneurs and multipurpose NGOs. Stories and examples from and of, contemporary organizations in different contexts will prove insightful to students, academics and researchers of management, business, sociology and economics. Social entrepreneurs and NGO activists will also find plenty of invaluable information is this inspirational study.
Download or read book Mythological Archetypes written by Paul F. Kisak and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-05-10 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of an archetype is found in areas relating to behavior, modern psychological theory, and literary analysis. An archetype can be: 1.a statement, pattern of behavior, or prototype which other statements, patterns of behavior, and objects copy or emulate; 2.a Platonic philosophical idea referring to pure forms which embody the fundamental characteristics of a thing; 3.a collectively-inherited unconscious idea, pattern of thought, image, etc., that is universally present in individual psyches, as in Jungian psychology; 4.or a constantly recurring symbol or motif in literature, painting, or mythology (this usage of the term draws from both comparative anthropology and Jungian archetypal theory). In various seemingly unrelated cases in classic storytelling, media etc. characters or ideas sharing similar traits can be found. In the first sense, many more informal terms are frequently used instead, such as "standard example" or "basic example," and the longer form "archetypal example" is also found. In mathematics, an archetype is often called a "canonical example." Throughout mythology, history, literature and prose; archetypes are used to relate the human condition and the struggles of life. Mythology in particular has evolved around the use of archetypes. These archetypes often develop into belief systems and religions across cultures. From Shakespeare to Carl Jung and the Bible to Star Wars - the archetype is present. Knowledge of these archetypes is essential to personal development and self-actualization as the reader will become aware of the simple nature of complex myths and how they affect belief systems and cultures.
Download or read book New Literature in Chinese written by Zhu Shoutong and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book systematically discusses the academic connotations of the concept of “Modern Chinese Literature”, as well as its basic categories. The discipline founded upon this concept is influential both in China and throughout the world, and scholars engaged in teaching and research in this field number around ten thousand. The discipline was originally established in haste in an abnormal academic environment, and, with the passage of time, such derivative disciplines as “Contemporary Chinese Literature”, “20th Century Chinese Literature”, “the Literature of Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau” and “World Chinese Literature” have appeared. This book argues that these fields should be united in the area of “New Literature in Chinese”, because they have a shared language, culture and tradition. In today’s multi-polar world, where Chinese literature is so diversified, such an approach is obviously helpful.

Download or read book Integrative Theory and Practice in Psychological Therapies written by Maria Luca and published by McGraw-Hill Education (UK). This book was released on 2019-08-05 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rich and evidence-informed collection of personal accounts on becoming an integrative practitioner in psychotherapy and counselling psychology. This book will help trainees and practitioners develop a deep understanding of integrative theory and practice. Introducing the idea of an ‘embodied relational integrative practitioner’ will help inform your understanding on how to develop professionalism and competency and learn to work effectively as an integrative counsellor or therapist. The authors expertly clarify the theory, invite reflection on key issues, examine the history and recent developments of the integrative approach and offer new concepts and practical frameworks. Each author shares their unique, individualised approach to integration, providing new directions in the field. They capture the fluid and ever-evolving nature of psychological journeys, through clinical illustrations that navigate between concepts and practice. In doing so, the authors move beyond prescribed integrative approaches and encourage clinicians to be the architects of their own practice. • Provides an overview of current theories addressing the challenges and benefits of integrative practice. • Explores the philosophical foundations of models of counselling and psychotherapy. • Discusses the professional issues faced by integrative practitioners. • Introduces a new way of doing integration: embodiment. • Applies theory to real-world experiences, showing integration in practice and there-and-then dilemmas. ‘I deeply regret that I did not have access to such a brilliant and forward-thinking book when I first entered the psychotherapy field. [The authors] have produced the gold-standard textbook on integration in psychotherapy, providing us not only with solid theoretical models but, also, with moving personal testimonies about the ways in which practitioners can benefit from the best theories and practices in our profession, without having to become too secularised and segmented. I applaud the authors for their creative work, which will help to train a whole new generation.’ Professor Brett Kahr, Senior Fellow, Tavistock Institute of Medical Psychology, London, UK and Trustee, United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy ‘In a time of seemingly intractable and widening divisions and extremisms, voices expressing the virtues of integration and dialogue are increasingly necessary. This is no less true in the fields of psychotherapy and counselling. Luca, Marshall and Nuttall have produced a text that clearly demonstrates the benefits of an integrative approach to theory and practice. The heart of this text is the necessity for each therapist, regardless of their initial training and preferred model(s), to develop their own personal integrative and embodied way of working. In my view, both experienced therapists and those in training will want this book ready to hand. Highly recommended!’ Professor Michael Worrell, Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Head of Department, Postgraduate CBT Training, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK
