Download or read book The Psychoanalytic Theory of Neurosis written by Otto Fenichel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-23 with total page 861 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Psychoanalytic Theory of Neurosis, Fenichel's classic text, summarized the first half century of psychoanalytic investigation into psychopathology and presented a general psychoanalytic theory of neurosis. When Otto Fenichel died, Anna Freud mourned the loss of 'his inexhaustible knowledge of psychoanalysis and his inimitable way of organizing and presenting his facts'. These qualities shine through The Psychoanalytic Theory of Neurosis which has been a standard reference for generations of psychoanalysts. For this anniversary edition, Leo Rangell has written an introduction that sets Fenichel's work in context. He sees Fenichel as a worthy heir to Freud; both men influenced their followers by what Rangell calls 'the charisma of ideas'. In his epilogue, Rangell describes the fate of Fenichel's ideas and of this book as 'a barometer of the place of psychoanalysis ... within the external intellectual world and, even more significantly, of the trends and shifting winds of opinion within the psychoanalytic field itself'. He traces those trends through the turbulent controversies of the field, concluding that Fenichel's observations are as fresh and relevant today as they were fifty years ago.

Download or read book Classification of Endogenous Psychoses and their Differentiated Etiology written by Karl Leonhard and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on sophisticated clinical descriptions and characteristic symptom patters occurring during the long-term course of psychiatric diseases, Leonhards classification requires that all the clinical features fit for a diagnosis to be made. Always using his own life-long case studies, Leonhard divided the endogenous psychoses into five main nosological groups: on the one hand, the prognostically favourable unipolar affective psychoses, bipolar affective psychoses and cycloid psychoses, and, on the other hand, the prognostically unfavourable unsystematic and systematic schizophrenia. In the meantime, the reliability and validity of this classification have been confirmed by scientific studies and early results provide guidelines for the different origins and varied therapeutic approaches for the specific disease profiles.

They discuss the growing acceptance of Fairbairn and Sutherland's work in Europe and the Americas. They discuss the theories' impact on current thinking in subjects such as sexuality, hysteria, autonomy and repression. They re-examine the theories in the light of current clinical experience, illuminate them with reference to contemporary psychoanalytic theories and illustrate them with examples from work with children, adults, groups and families. This book presents an original fusion of the ideas of two of the most noteworthy figures in recent psychoanalysis. It will prove fascinating reading for all practicing and training psychotherapists and psychoanalysts.

Book excerpt: Every legend is based in part on facts: Some are undeniably glorious, Others may be unexpectedly heroic, A remarkable few remain truly horrifying . . . Hercules' immortality was solidified in Greek mythology as a result of his Twelve Labours. After a decade of penance and punishment by the Gods, he was commanded to steal the golden apples of the Hesperides from their garden at the edge of the world: guarded by a bestial monstrosity who was the son of Titans. The Britons of the ninth century moors faced extermination from rival bands of Juts, Huns, and Celts. The very last apparition any expected to face would have been the hideous reincarnation of Hercules' eleventh Titan. LADON
Download or read book The Father written by R. V. Cassill and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-12-16 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A masterful, multifaceted story collection from one of American literature’s most influential writers and teachers As a creative writing teacher whose students included Raymond Carver, Joy Williams, and Andre Dubus, and as longtime editor of The Norton Anthology of Short Fiction, R. V. Cassill profoundly impacted the development of the short story in America. The ten stunning tales in The Father and Other Stories exhibit his mastery of the form and the breathtaking scope of his vision. In “This Hand, These Talons,” a former combat pilot grapples with the dislocations of peacetime. “The Prize,” an O. Henry Award winner, is a tender yet clear-eyed portrait of the growing pains of a Depression-era adolescence. “And in My Heart” is a richly nuanced portrayal of a writing teacher’s obsessive involvement in the ill-fated romance of two of his students. The haunting title story, a widely anthologized masterpiece, illustrates a man’s descent into guilt and despair after he is forced to amputate his son’s hand to save the boy from dying in a farming accident. Across a broad range of characters, tones, and settings, Cassill finds beauty and insight wherever he looks. The Father and Other Stories is proof of his tremendous skill as a storyteller and his enduring influence on contemporary literature.
Download or read book Electroconvulsive Therapy in Children and Adolescents written by Neera Ghaziuddin and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-11 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pioneering book is the first book of its kind and offers guidance about the use of ECT in youth with up-to-date and concise information. The editors, Neera Ghaziuddin MD, MRCPsych (University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA), and Garry Walter, MD, PhD (University of Sydney, Australia), have spearheaded the re-introduction of ECT as a safe and an effective treatment option for a subgroup of children and adolescents with severe psychiatric disorders. This book offers a review of the existing literature, firsthand experience of the authors who are regarded as experts in their respective field, and highly informative case descriptions. The book also offers a historical perspective, explaining the reasons why ECT fell out of favor, particularly among child and adolescent psychiatrists, and the resulting lost opportunity to train clinicians over many decades. Starting around the 1990's, there has been a revival of interest, probably due to the recognition of treatment resistance among some adolescents. The chapter about the mechanism of action ECT describes biological mechanisms that are known to underlie mental illness. Other chapters include a discussion about stigma associated with ECT, ethical and informed consent issues, a step-by-step guidance about using ECT, use of anesthesia during ECT and the interaction between ECT and medications. In addition, its use in youth with general medical and neurological disorders is described. The chapter detailing side effects of the treatment dispels misinformation and indicates that ECT is a safe, painless and a highly effective procedure which is not associated with any lasting side effects. The use of ECT in the treatment of specific disorders (mood and psychotic disorders, severe self-injury and catatonia) is described under respective chapters using case examples. Lay readers, families and patients considering this treatment will find the question and answer subsections at the end of each chapter useful. The experience of the editors gives a unique insight to ECT, dispelling myths and stigma and guides the reader about its proper use.
Download or read book Family Tree written by Raymond Nickford and published by Raymond Nickford. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author's degree in Psychology and Philosophy from the University College of North Wales, together with an interest in the lonely, the outsider and those who have to contend with dysfunctional relationships and loss have been much of the inspiration for this book. Meet the author interview: raymondnickford-psychologicalsuspense.weebly.com A collection of character-driven literary and psychological suspense stories which - though they involve loss within family and in relationships - nevertheless get inside the characters who are left behind and reveal, through fiction, how hurt and the longing for those lost can find resolution - where it may not be expected... The collection opens with "Family Tree" - Mr Glossop might be a widower, his neighbours said, but it was high time he poured acid on the base of the old yew tree, the roots of which stretched well into the grounds of the Municipal Cemetery . Was he really going to let his only son have the same degrading end as Mrs Glossop? Would gossip open out to truths best laid to rest? "Reaching Out to Bernie" is widow Emily's dearest wish, but it is neither to seance nor spiritualism that she turns but rather an antique which has come into her possession and, for too long, has been collecting dust in her attic. Emily clung for life to the bric-a-brac which made a Mausoleum of her home; for sure, in everything Bernie had touched, he still lived and somehow she would - she would reach out to him. In " A Farewell to Father" schizophrenic, Sam Baldock, is given a day out - his last - at the Beethoven Museum in Vienna where he believes he is called by the spirit of Beethoven. What will his little daughter, Joanne, witness at the top of those damp spiralling steps to the top rooms of the old Pasqualati House on the Molkerbastie, which once led to the rooms of the composer in 1810?
