Download or read book Memory Trauma and the Spirited Life written by Gillian Burrell and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-30 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Memory, Trauma and the Spirited Life offers a unique understanding of memory’s role in developing as a person, in navigating the course of life, and in mitigating emotional pain. This book develops the idea that memory, by what it endows, requires work of us that entails responsibility: to the self, the other, to the planet and to the living and the dead. Discussing the concept of memory and what it provides from the ancients to the present, Burrell draws on such writers as E. M. Forster and Rosa Luxemburg, Walter Benjamin, Tzvetan Todarov and Edward Said, as well as Susan Rubin Suleiman and Paul Ricoeur, to explore the operation of cultural and collective memory, trauma, otherness and the possibility for forgiveness. By means of richly detailed clinical vignettes, the author provides a psychoanalytic perspective to illustrate the transformative power of memory in coming to terms with the past, thereby making it essential reading for psychoanalysts and psychotherapists in practice and in training, as well as those with interests in history, literature, identity, the treatment of trauma and the question of hope.

Download or read book The Trauma of Everyday Life written by Dr. Epstein and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2014-07-07 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trauma does not just happen to a few unlucky people; it is the bedrock of our psychology. Death and illness touch us all, but even the everyday sufferings of loneliness and fear are traumatic. In The Trauma of Everyday Life renowned psychiatrist and author of Thoughts Without a Thinker Mark Epstein uncovers the transformational potential of trauma, revealing how it can be used for the mind's own development. Epstein finds throughout that trauma, if it doesn't destroy us, wakes us up to both our minds' own capacity and to the suffering of others. It makes us more human, caring and wise. It can be our greatest teacher, our freedom itself, and it is available to all of us. Western psychology teaches that if we understand the cause of trauma, we might move past it while many drawn to Eastern practices see meditation as a means of rising above, or distancing themselves from, their most difficult emotions. Both, Epstein argues, fail to recognize that trauma is an indivisible part of life and can be used as a tool for growth and an ever deeper understanding of change. When we regard trauma with this perspective, understanding that suffering is universal and without logic, our pain connects us to the world on a more fundamental level. Guided by the Buddha's life as a profound example of the power of trauma, Epstein's also closely examines his own experience and that of his psychiatric patients to help us all understand that the way out of pain is through it.

Download or read book Spirit and Trauma written by Shelly Rambo and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rambo draws on contemporary studies in trauma to rethink a central claim of the Christian faith: that new life arises from death. Reexamining the narrative of the death and resurrection of Jesus from the middle day-liturgically named as Holy Saturday-she seeks a theology that addresses the experience of living in the aftermath of trauma. Through a reinterpretation of "remaining" in the Johannine Gospel, she proposes a new theology of the Spirit that challenges traditional conceptions of redemption. Offered, in its place, is a vision of the Spirit's witness from within the depths of human suffering to the persistence of divine love.

Download or read book A Spirit of Inquiry written by Joseph D. Lichtenberg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thoroughly grounded in contemporary developmental research, A Spirit of Inquiry: Communication in Psychoanalysis explores the ecological niche of the infant-caregiver dyad and examines the evolutionary leap that permits communication to take place concurrently in verbal an nonverbal modes. Via the uniquely human capacity for speech, the authors hold, intercommunication deepens into a continuous process of listening to, sensing into, and deciphering motivation-driven messages. The analytic exchange is unique owing to a broad communicative repertoire that encompasses all the permutations of day-to-day exchanges. It is the spirit of inquiry that endows such communicative moments with an overarching sense of purpose and thereby permits analysis to become an intimate relationship decisively unlike any other. In elucidating the special character of this relationship, the authors refine their understanding of motivational systems theory by showing how exploration, previously conceptualized as a discrete motivational system, simultaneously infuses all the motivational systems with an integrative dynamic that tends to a cohesive sense of self. Of equal note is their discerning use of contemporary attachment reseach, which provides convincing evidence of the link between crucial relationships and communication. Replete with detailed case studies that illustrate both the context and nature of specific analytic inquiries, A Spirit of Inquiry presents a novel perspective, sustained by empirical research, for integrating the various communicative modalities that arise in any psychoanalytic treatment. The result is a deepened understanding of subjectivity and intersubjectivity in analytic relationships. Indeed, the book is a compelling brief for the claim that subjectivity and intersubjectivity, in their full complexity, can only be understood through clinically relevant and scientifically credible theories of motivation and communication.

Download or read book Quanta Spirit and Mindful Matter written by Susan M. Leva and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-03 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ms. Leva has written a book that goes beyond the 6th sense, and includes Quantum physics for the "layman". This theory suggests that human beings are connected to each other by means other than just using the power of the mind. Ms. Leva has decided to share her "true" stories that will take the reader to other realms of consciousness and she hopes they will inspire others to share more stories that deal with the "unexplained." Quanta, simply means "light". Her stories include this energy that can be helpful for human beings to live consciously using awareness in thought and behavior. Spirit is the essence of one's soul. Matter that is Mindful has been done through rigorous experiments in the sub-atomic world; thereby helping to explain our ability to form connections without our knowledge in relation to one another on the blue planet. Knowing this to occur, scientists have been inspired to keep exploring as the quest for understanding more about our infinite universe continues. So sit back, relax and enjoy the ride as "spooky" can be fun while learning to become more open to the possibilities of life! For me this book could not be written without the expertise of physicists, scientists, biologists, mediums, philosophers, journalists and all those who understand that this life is truly an abundance of knowledge coming together from many fields. Each of these "pioneers" have enabled me to piece together some very important answers to my unanswered questions leaving room for many more. I've had "ah,ha" moments while reading the work of these folks who are my true "heroes". They have turned on the "light".
