Book The Interpretation of Dreams and of Jokes

Download or read book The Interpretation of Dreams and of Jokes written by Matthew Hugh Erdelyi and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-16 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Interpretation of Dreams and of Jokes provides a unique and integrative introduction to dream science. It addresses a notable gap in cognitive psychology on the subject of dreams and explores significant overlaps between the phenomena of dreams and jokes. Bringing together extensive research from cognitive psychology, neuroscience and psychoanalysis, the book provides a balanced approach to dream science that is underpinned by experimental and theoretical research. It considers the significance of dreams and their relationships to jokes, examining how both require an understanding of latent content in which context and individual differences play a large part. The book outlines a history of dream research and dream science and includes several original dream extracts for discussion. The book’s chapters explore how we can interpret meaning in dreams, how dreams might be indicators of inner psychological and somatic states, whether dreams can be used in problem-solving and the relationship between dreams and aphasia, memory and waking consciousness. This groundbreaking book will be essential reading for researchers and students from psychological and psychoanalytic backgrounds who are interested in the analysis and science of dreams.

Book Conscious and Unconscious Processes

Download or read book Conscious and Unconscious Processes written by Howard Shevrin and published by Guilford Press. This book was released on 1996-05-24 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The notion of an unconscious mental life has been subject to debate for over a century. Psychodynamic practitioners generally understand clients' consciously experienced symptoms to reflect conflict within an unconscious realm; cognitive psychologists, on the other hand, doubt the validity of this psychodynamic understanding of unconscious processes. This innovative volume attempts to bridge the theoretical gulf between the two approaches by providing objective evidence for unconscious conflict in psychopathology. Integrating psychodynamic, cognitive, and neurophysiological methods, the authors have developed an experimental model using brain wave measurements that can differentiate types of unconscious processes. Meticulously researched and clearly written, the volume provides a unique synthesis of clinical and experimental findings and blazes a new pathway for the study of brain-mind interaction. Following an introduction that outlines the organization of the volume, the authors review the theoretical contexts of psychoanalysis, cognitive psychology, and psychophysiology. The research protocols are then elaborated in sections written both for specialists and for newcomers to each discipline. Chapters describe how psychoanalytically guided clinical assessment of patients leads to hypotheses about the unconscious conflict underlying a symptom, such as phobia. These hypotheses are then used to select words that will be presented subliminally, a method currently employed by cognitive psychologists to investigate unconscious aspects of perception. A new form of signal analysis is applied to obtain brain responses to the subliminal stimuli, providing an objective measurement of dynamicallyunconscious processes. Three detailed case presentations illustrate the methodological material and help bring the findings to life. Exploring the concept of an unconscious mental life in its full depth, this groundbreaking study sheds new light on the connections between psychological and neurophysiological processes. It will inform a broad interdisciplinary audience including readers in cognitive psychology, psychoanalysis, and neuropsychology.

Book Modern Psychoanalysis

Download or read book Modern Psychoanalysis written by Judd Marmor and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 742 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern Psychoanalys is is a definitive exploration of the expanding horizons of this still controversial approach to and treatment of human behavior. In the first paperback release of a work sponsored by the American Academy of Psychoanalysis, thirty-five authorities explore new approaches to psychoanalytic theory and therapy, and examine the growing interaction between this field and the other social and behavioral sciences. Modern Psychoanalysis demonstrates how some of the leading figures are bringing their discipline into the mainstream of biological and social through!making use of systems theory, information processing, the constructs of adaptation and learning, and other new tools and findings. The book is unusually free of the jargon that has separated psychoanalysis in the past from the rest of behavioral and social science. Some of the authors and their subjects are: Roy Grinker, "Conceptual Progress in Analysis"; Jin-gen Ruesch, "Psychoanalysis between Two Cultures"; Edward Tauber, "Dreaming and Modern Dream Theory"; Jules Masserman, "The Biody-namic Roots of Psychoanalysis"; Lewis H. Wolberg, "Short-term Psychotherapy"; Stuart M. Finch and Albert Cain, "Psychoanalysis of Children"; Morris Parloff, "Analytic Group Psychotherapy"; Salvador Minuchin, "The Low Socioeconomic Population"; Leonard Duhl and Robert Leopold, "Psychoanalysis and Social Agencies"; Leo'n Edel, "Psychoanalysis and the Creative Arts"; Arnold A. Rogow, "Psychiatry, History and Political Science"; and John R. Seeley, "Psychiatry: Revolution, Reform and Reaction." The volume is prepared with the rigor and comprehensiveness that should make the book a standard handbook for psychiatrists, psychologists, and behavioral scientists. And it is written with a sense of curious readers who may simply be interested in the basic stances of this controversial field of theory and practice. It has earned sufficient plaudits to be called a classic in the field. Judd Manner's new introduction gives added weight to such claims.

Book The Self Psychology of Addiction and its Treatment

Download or read book The Self Psychology of Addiction and its Treatment written by Richard B. Ulman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-04-03 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the time of Freud, the typical psychoanalytic patient was afflicted with neurotic disorders; however, the modern-day psychotherapy patient often suffers instead from a variety of addictive disorders. As the treatment of neurotic disorders based on unconscious conflicts cannot be applied to treatment of addictive disorders, psychoanalysis has been unable to keep pace with the changes in the type of patient seeking help. To address the shift and respond to contemporary patients’ needs, Ulman and Paul present a thorough discussion of addiction that studies and analyzes treatment options. Their honest and unique work provides new ideas that will help gain access to the fantasy worlds of addicted patients. The Self Psychology of Addiction and Its Treatment emphasizes clinical approaches in the treatment of challenging narcissistic patients struggling with the five major forms of addiction. Ulman and Paul focus on six specific case studies that are illustrative of the five forms of addiction. They use the representative subjects to develop a self psychological model that helps to answer the pertinent questions regarding the origins and pathway of addiction. This comprehensive book links addiction and trauma in an original manner that creates a greater understanding of addiction and its foundations than any clinical or theoretical model to date.

Download or read book Identity and the New Psychoanalytic Explorations of Self organization written by Mardi Horowitz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in science and the humanities have demonstrated the complexity of psychological, social and neurological factors influencing identity. A contemporary discourse is needed to anchor the concepts required in speaking about identity in present day understanding. In Identity and the New Psychoanalytic Explorations of Self-organization, Mardi Horowitz offers new ways of speaking about parts of self, explaining what causes a range of experiences from solidity in grounding the self to disturbances in a sense of identity. The book covers many aspects of both the formation and the deconstruction of identity. Horowitz examines themes including: -The sense of identity -Social learning -Biological learning -Identity and self-esteem - Levels of personality functioning and growth The book clarifies basic questions, defines useful terms, examines typical identity disturbances and presents a biopsychosocial theory which indicates how schemas operate in conscious and unconscious mental processing. The answers to the basic questions lead to improvements in psychotherapy practices as well as teaching and research methods. Identity and the New Psychoanalytic Explorations of Self-organization will prove fascinating reading for those working in the fields of psychoanalysis, psychology, psychiatry, neuroscience and the social disciplines.

Book Nocturnes

    Book Details:
  • Author : Paul Lippmann
  • Publisher : Routledge
  • Release : 2013-11-12
  • ISBN : 1317771168
  • Pages : 235 pages

Download or read book Nocturnes written by Paul Lippmann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-12 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nocturnes, literally music for the night, is a delightfully impressionistic investigation into everything that is not known, and perhaps can never be known, about dreams. Rather than espousing yet another strategy of dream interpretation, Lippmann proffers a naturalistic approach appreciative of the playful, complex, even zany creativity embodied in dreams. He urges us, that is, to apprehend dreams on their own terms, in a manner that enables patients actually to experience the unconscious in its radical difference from waking thought. Lippmann delivers on his agenda lightly, with a sense of humor and practicality that will engage lay readers as well as analysts and therapists. He takes up questions of general interest that challenge us to reorient our thinking about dreams: How do children learn about dreams and their telling? Why are most dreams forgotten? How may we understand dreams about sleeping and waking, even dreams about dreaming? And he reengages issues of perennial interest to analytic therapists: dream disguise, dream forgetting, the "companionship" of dreams, the neurotic dream expert, and the therapist's management of his or her own anxiety when patients report their dreams. "Oh, I had a dream last night," the patient remembers. Too often, observes Lippmann, this remark signals the beginning of an unfortunate struggle, as the patient is called on to relate something that changes when it is put into words, the analyst is put on the spot to come up with an interpretation, and both are asked to extract something immediately useful - and lately, cost effective - from something that partakes of magic and mystery. How silly this ritual is, Lippmann argues, and how alien to the nature of the dream itself. After reading Nocturnes, no clinician, from the novice to the most senior, will hear the words "Oh, I had a dream last night" in quite the same way.

Book Neuropsychological Foundations of Conscious Experience

Download or read book Neuropsychological Foundations of Conscious Experience written by Jason W. Brown and published by Les Editions Chromatika. This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neuropsychological Foundations of Conscious Experience retraces the growth of microgenetic theory from its beginnings in neuropsychology and aphasia in relation to other genetic models of cognition. The account of the mind/brain state and subjective time and change is explored in relation to psychoanalytic concepts of the unconscious as well as philosophical ideas on intentionality, subjectivity and truth. In a final chapter, the theory aims to elucidate creative thinking and mystical experience. The primary aim is to aid the reader to see the progression from clinical studies to theoretical speculation in a way that condenses more extensive and technical writings. This book should appeal to both lay and professional readers with an interest in these topics. It is the author's contention that microgenetic theory is the only available and fully coherent account of the mind that covers not only clinical disorders but normal cognition and metapsychological issues relating to an evolutionary brain model. Jason W. Brown, for over 30 years Clinical Professor of Neurology at New York University, is best known for his microgenetic theory. The theory began with observations on language disorders and neuropsychological studies, and was extended to problems in process theory, especially that of time, change and related issues in philosophy of mind. The author lectures widely on various topics and has published 8 books and over 200 articles.
