Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in English for the first time, this is a seminal work by an original and creative analytical thinker. Piera Aulagnier's The Violence of Interpretation bridges the work of Winnicott and Lacan, putting forward a theory of psychosis based on children's early experiences. The author's analysis of the relationship between the other's communications and the infant's psychic experience. and of the pre-verbal stage of development of unconscious fantasy starting from the 'pictogram', have fundamental implications for the psychoanalytic theory of development. She developed Lacan's ideas to enable the treatment of severe psychotic states. Containing detailed discussion of clinical material, and written in the author's precise yet provocative style, The Violence of Interpretation is a welcome addition to the New Library of Psychoanalysis.
Download or read book Psychoanalysts in Session written by Laurent Danon-Boileau and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-23 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychoanalysis is an intimate clinical experience and the concepts that it explores aim to grapple with the specific phenomena that unfold when a patient speaks and an analyst listens. This book aims to give concrete examples of how these concepts take shape when analysts work. The structure of the contributions presented in this book matches this concern; drawing on a fragment of an analysis, each contribution illustrates how a notion reveals unforeseen perspectives. The list of entries selected is diverse, with notions encountered in international studies since the Second World War prioritised. Certain classical concepts are nonetheless included when their significance has been shaped by the innovative rereading that contemporary authors have made of them. However, not all the entries in this glossary constitute concepts: some correspond to notions, others to intuitions, and even to recurrent situations with which the analyst is confronted. By grounding, in each entry, the theoretical reflection on a clinical case, the reader is lead towards the incessant to-and-fro process which governs the analyst’s reflections from clinical experience to theory. This book therefore constitutes an essential tool for psychologists, psychoanalysts and all professionals in the field of mental care.

Download or read book Un monde en qu te de sens written by Michel Hubaut and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'homme ne supporte pas de vivre dans l'absurde. Il a un besoin vital de donner un sens à ce qu'il vit. Or, de nos jours, une profonde mutation socioculturelle bouscule toutes les croyances et exhorte chacun à visiter ses propres convictions, à se poser des questions auxquelles on pensait peut-être avoir trouvé une réponse une fois pour toutes, comme, par exemple : pourquoi croire ou ne pas croire ? Michel Hubaut ne fait pas ici une apologie du Credo chrétien, il se propose d'aider chacun à se risquer sur le chemin dynamique de la foi, sans esquiver les réelles difficultés à croire que tous rencontrent aujourd'hui. Sa démarche est d'abord d'écouter ceux qui sont étrangers à la foi ou qui l'ont abandonnée. Le croyant qu'il est cherche ensuite à comprendre ce que l'Esprit peut nous dire au travers de l'image déformée de la foi chrétienne renvoyée parfois par le miroir du monde. Il en est convaincu : nous avons aujourd'hui besoin de témoins de la foi, sans complexes ni agressivité, humbles, assez lucides pour aimer leur époque et discerner ses grandeurs et ses limites, respectueux du cheminement de Dieu au coeur de chacun. A l'opposé des croisés de la foi qui pensent détenir la Vérité, pleins de mépris envers ceux qui doutent. Tout chrétien est invité à retrouver le jaillissement et la vivacité de la Bonne Nouvelle du Christ, pour la dégager de l'écorce de la religion. Il s'agit aussi de manifester que la foi au Dieu de Jésus Christ, loin de fabriquer des sous-hommes, donne de nouvelles raisons de vivre. Il serait malhonnête de discourir sur la joie de croire si l'on omettait de rappeler que la foi est un itinéraire, un voyage au long cours, une histoire toujours en chantier, un doute sans cesse surmonté. En effet, le Dieu de Jésus Christ est si déroutant qu'il nous pose plus de questions qu'il ne nous apporte de réponses. Ce sont pourtant celles qui nous poussent vers les véritables interrogations.

Download or read book Idle Pursuits written by Virginia Krause and published by University of Delaware Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Throughout this study, idleness is shown to be a key element of self-presentation beginning with the figure of the idle aristocrat. The extravagant display of a life of leisure made Gilles de Rais the icon of aristocratic idleness. But even the hardworking humanist was anxious to assume a studied posture of idleness. If both figures were eager to display idleness, it was because oisivete was an important source of what modern theorists have termed symbolic capital. Finally, the Renaissance also saw the birth of a new figure of the "idler": the consumer of leisure. For it was leisure itself along with chivalric and amorous adventure that was consumed by the readers of the popular Amadis series. At once a commodity and form of capital, idleness (otium) clearly belonged to the realm of social exchanges ostensibly reserved for affairs (negotium)."--BOOK JACKET.

Book excerpt: The book is focused on distorted research and university education in recent decades, and on alternatives for a new research era.

The authors analyse it in a ground-breaking way, putting the West in a global comparison with the non-Western world. Particularly, they pay special attention to Central Europe and the major countries and macro-regions: Latin America, China, Russia, Africa and India. This is an illuminating book for readers interested in philosophy, sociology, global studies, education studies and related disciplines.
Download or read book Humanities and Organizations in Dialogue written by Ghislain Deslandes and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2024-09-30 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Administrative practice and science are currently undergoing a profound reassessment. The terms "stress", "burn-out", or "meaningless jobs" give us an idea of the reasons why the commitment to work is at half-mast today, which is rather worrying for the economic development itself. Faced with the added complexity of various technological, environmental, and geopolitical disruptions, managers are ultimately called upon to completely reinvent the way they work and think. In an attempt to transform our conception of management, the method proposed in Humanities and Organizations in Dialogue: Hermeneutic Inquiries is based on the study of contemporary humanities. Consequently, Ghislain Deslandes comments on numerous essays to provide managers with a unique way of understanding what is happening. The approach reintroduces a measure of philosophical reflexivity into a world where it is all too often absent, in order to understand business administration with new perspectives and new tools, especially in terms of language. It also seeks to better understand how managers should respond, with subtlety and tact, to the socio-economic and environmental challenges facing organizations.
