Download or read book Object Relations in Psychoanalytic Theory written by Jay R. Greenberg and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1983-11-23 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Object Relations in Psychoanalytic Theory provides a masterful overview of the central issue concerning psychoanalysts today: finding a way to deal in theoretical terms with the importance of the patient's relationships with other people. Just as disturbed and distorted relationships lie at the core of the patient's distress, so too does the relation between analyst and patient play a key role in the analytic process. All psychoanalytic theories recognize the clinical centrality of “object relations,” but much else about the concept is in dispute. In their ground-breaking exercise in comparative psychoanalysis, the authors offer a new way to understand the dramatic and confusing proliferation of approaches to object relations. The result is major clarification of the history of psychoanalysis and a reliable guide to the fundamental issues that unite and divide the field. Greenberg and Mitchell, both psychoanalysts in private practice in New York, locate much of the variation in the concept of object relations between two deeply divergent models of psychoanalysis: Freud's model, in which relations with others are determined by the individual's need to satisfy primary instinctual drives, and an alternative model, in which relationships are taken as primary. The authors then diagnose the history of disagreement about object relations as a product of competition between these disparate paradigms. Within this framework, Sullivan's interpersonal psychiatry and the British tradition of object relations theory, led by Klein, Fairbairn, Winnicott, and Guntrip, are shown to be united by their rejection of significant aspects of Freud's drive theory. In contrast, the American ego psychology of Hartmann, Jacobson, and Kernberg appears as an effort to enlarge the classical drive theory to accommodate information derived from the study of object relations. Object Relations in Psychoanalytic Theory offers a conceptual map of the most difficult terrain in psychoanalysis and a history of its most complex disputes. In exploring the counterpoint between different psychoanalytic schools and traditions, it provides a synthetic perspective that is a major contribution to the advance of psychoanalytic thought.

Download or read book Freud Religion and the Roaring Twenties written by Henry Idema and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 1990 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Henry Idema has developed a theory of religion and culture indebted to the psychological work of Sigmund Freud and the sociological work of Weinstein and Platt, and he has shown the validity of his theory through illustrations from the life and times and work of Sherwood Anderson, Ernest Hemingway, and F.Scott Fitzgerald. Idema brings a psychoanalytic perspective to his analysis of religion and culture. He starts out by developing a theory of religion focusing on early relationships with the mother and father, and then shows how social forces such as urbanization, industrialization etc. weakened religion in the institutional church, especially in its function of helping men and women to cope with anxiety.

Download or read book Introspection and Contemporary Poetry written by Alan Bacher Williamson and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1984 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this bold defense of so-called confessional poetry, Alan Williamson shows us that much of the best writing of the past twenty-five years is about the sense of being or having a self, a knowable personal identity. The difficulties posed by this subject help explain the fertility of contemporary poetic experiment--from the jaggedness of the later work of Robert Lowell to the montage--like methods of John Ashbery, from the visual surrealism of James Wright and W. S. Merwin to the radical plainness of Frank Bidart. Williamson examines these and other poets from a psychological perspective, giving an especially striking reading of Sylvia Plath.

Download or read book National Self Determination and Secession written by Margaret Moore and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 1998-10-08 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, numerous multi-national states have disintegrated along national lines, and today, many more, in both the first and the third worlds, continue to witness bitter secessionist struggles. The proliferation of national conflicts and secessionist movements has given rise to many important questions which urgently need to be addressed. When is seccession justified? What is a people and what gives them a right to secede? Is national determination consistent with liberal and democratic principles? Or is it a dangerous doctrine? In the years following 1991, when Allen Buchanan published Secession, a number of competing theories of the ethics of secession have been put forward. This pathbreaking study, by a host of leading figures in the field, brings together for the first time a series of original essays on these theories. Offering fresh insight into debates about contested territory, the problem of minorities, and the place of secession in resolving national conflicts, this volume provides a much-needed philosophical discussion of the normative implications of nationalism.

Download or read book Capitalism Hegemony and Violence in the Age of Drones written by Norman Pollack and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-12 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a critical analysis of the rise of the US to global hegemony against a background of increased erosion of democracy and rule of law, and a rising linear pattern of near-absolute capitalist development. The author argues that the significant shrinkage of the ideological spectrum globally, as a result of worrisome levels of business and government interpenetration, has created a dangerous 'prefascist configuration' whereby unthinkable levels of violence have been normalized through the use of technologies such as drones, increasingly condoned even by 'liberal' groups and the so-called political left. Using the example of the Obama administration and its increased reliance on drone assassinations, the volume makes a case for the dangers that lie in today's unique convergence of lack of transparency in government, business-government interpenetration, informal social regimentation, and militarization of capitalism.

Download or read book My Enemy Is My Guest written by J. Massyngbaerde Ford and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2010-04-01 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a very readable and clear exposition of Luke's presentation of Jesus as an advocate of nonviolence. It rests on a profound knowledge of the political background in the first century and also of modern Lucan scholarship. One does not need to agree with all of the author's suggestions in order to accept her basic thesis that Luke's Jesus exemplifies his own Insistence on loving and forgiving one's enemies."I. Howard Marshall, Emeritus Professor of New Testament Exegesis, University of Aberdeen, Scotland"For Professor Josephine Massyngbaerde Ford, authoress of a learned and challenging commentary on Revelation, Luke is the preacher of 'philoechthrology,' highlighting far more than his predecessors Jesus's love of the enemy. She marshals impressive and interesting evidence from comparison with the other Synoptics, from contemporary Jewish texts, orthodox and sectarian, and from the general conditions of that turbulent period. The work is full of original valuable ideas, such as the relevance, for this Gospel's overriding purpose, of a sharp contrast between the Infancy narratives, reflecting traditional, revolutionary expectations, and the actual message of Jesus. Her analysis of the evangelist's redactional activity is circumspect, sensitive, and rich in new insights. Not the least by-product of her thesis is convincing, fresh Illustration of Luke's stature as a social, political, and historical thinker and as a subtle, accomplished writer--not to mention his humanity. This is an excellent, lively, and timely book." David Daube, University of California, Berkeley"Ford invitingly presents Luke's pacifist portrait of Jesus against a predominant militant background of Israel's messianic hopes. Her extensive citations from BCE-first-century Jewish literature and her scholarly study of Luke's Gospel make this a seminal contribution. Her work breaks new ground, pointing toward fresh emphases in both historical Jesus and Lucan redactional studies. In a special way, her book speaks to both biblical scholars and lay Christians ready to say 'no' to the mushroom cloud--in the name of Jesus the messianic king." Willard M. Swartley, Professor Emeritus of New Testament, Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminaries, Elkhart, Indiana"Placed, as I am, within sight of Bethlehem to the South and Jerusalem to the North, I look out upon a society where the stark choice is between killing enemies or loving them. Professor Ford's fascinating study of the Lucan Jesus provides a convincing motive for choosing the latter; nonviolence, forgiveness, and acceptance of our enemies into covenant community." Donald Nichol, former Rector of the Ecumenical Institute, Tantur
