Book The Dyadic Transaction

Download or read book The Dyadic Transaction written by Samuel Eisenstein and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dyadic Transaction presents unique, pioneering research on the nature of the psychoanalytic therapeutic process by three leading practitioners. The volume demonstrates that the process of psychotherapy is a consequence of reciprocal interaction between the psychotherapist and the patient, rather than merely the result of actions of the therapist, shedding an important light on how and why psychotherapy works. A team of three experienced psychoanalysts discretely and independently recorded their personal observations during a series of therapy sessions. At the same time, the psychoanalyst conducting the therapy also recorded impressions of each session. The results show that the therapist is actually an active participant in verbal and nonverbal interaction. Nonverbal aspects of this exchange are a thoroughly original aspect of this study. Originated by Franz Alexander, one of the great pioneers in psychoanalysis and psychiatry, this experimental approach offers valuable insight into the nature of the psychotherapeutic process. The basic findings outlined here foreshadow many of the results and new methods of research in subsequent psychoanalytic studies and continue to be highly relevant today. The Dyadic Transaction is a necessary source of material for psychotherapists, psychoanalysts, psychologists, and psychiatrists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dyadic Transaction presents unique, pioneering research on the nature of psychoanalytic therapeutic process by three leading practitioners. An original work published for the first time, its basic findings foreshadow many of the results and new methods of research in subsequent psychoanalytic studies and continue to be highly relevant today. The volume demonstrates that the process of psychotherapy is a consequence of reciprocal interaction between the psychotherapist and the patient, rather than merely the result of actions of the therapist. The Dyadic Transaction sheds new and important light on how and why psychotherapy works. A team of three experienced psychoanalysts discretely and independently recorded their personal observations during a series of therapy sessions. At the same tune, the psychoanalyst conducting the therapy also recorded impressions of each session. The results show that the therapist is not a neutral, impersonal conveyer of interpretations, but an active participant in verbal and nonverbal interaction. Nonverbal aspects of this exchange in both therapist and the patient are a thoroughly original aspect of this study. Organized by Franz Alexander, one of the great pioneers in psychoanalysis and psychiatry, this experimental approach offers extraordinarily valuable insight into the nature of the complexities of the psychotherapeutic process. The Dyadic Transaction should prove to be a necessary source of material for psychotherapists, psychoanalysts, psychologists, and psychiatrists.

Book The Social Institution of Discursive Norms

Download or read book The Social Institution of Discursive Norms written by Leo Townsend and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-06-21 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this collection explore the idea that discursive norms—the norms governing our thought and talk—are profoundly social. Not only do these norms govern and structure our social interactions, but they are sustained by a variety of social and institutional structures. The chapters are divided into three thematic sections. The first offers historical perspectives on discursive norms, including a chapter by Robert Brandom on the way Hegel transformed Kant’s normativist approach to representation by adding both a social and a historicist dimension to it. Section II features four chapters that examine the sociality of normativity from within a broadly naturalistic framework. The third and final section focuses on the social dimension of linguistic phenomena such as online speech acts, oppressive speech, and assertions. The Social Institution of Discursive Norms will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, and social philosophy.

Book A New Principles of Economics

Download or read book A New Principles of Economics written by Carsten Herrmann-Pillath and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-30 with total page 555 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the dynamic development of the discipline of economics, the ways in which economics is taught and how it defines its basic principles have hardly changed, resulting in economics being criticised for its inability to provide relevant insights on global challenges. In response, this book defines new principles of economics and seeks to establish economics as the science of markets. A New Principles of Economics provides an alternative conceptual framework for the study of economics, integrating recent developments and research in both economics and neighbouring social sciences. Adopting the structure of a standard principles text, it separates the study of markets as mechanisms and markets in their wider contexts. In doing so, a number of new perspectives are introduced, including approaching the economy as part and parcel of the Earth system; directly connecting the analysis of production with an analysis of technology and thermodynamic principles; explicitly treating markets as forms of social networks mediated by the institution of money; and reinstating the central role of distribution in political economy analysis. Drawing on the latest theories and research on the economy, and including both the natural and social sciences, this text provides a holistic introduction suitable for postgraduates and other advanced students.

Book  Hailing frequencies open

Download or read book Hailing frequencies open written by Thomas D. Parham, III and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2019-07-15 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Star Trek: The Next Generation blended speculative science fiction and space opera in its portrayal of communication. Multiple modes of communication used between characters are presented and the multilevel tapestry of communication in the series is critical in its appeal. This book proposes that these patterns of communication reveal a foundational philosophy of Star Trek (while enticing millions of viewers). These patterns serve both to cause strong empathetic connections with characters and to impel viewers to form relationships with the show, explaining their extreme devotion.

Book Social and Interpersonal Dynamics in Pain

Download or read book Social and Interpersonal Dynamics in Pain written by Tine Vervoort and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-18 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking analysis moves our knowledge of pain and its effects from the biomedical model to one accounting for its complex psychosocial dimensions. Starting with its facial and physical display, pain is shown in its manifold social contexts—in the lifespan, in a family unit, expressed by a member of a gender and/or race—and as observed by others. These observations by caregivers and family are shown as vital to the social dynamic of pain—as observers react to sufferers’ pain, and as these reactions affect those suffering. The book’s findings should enhance practitioners’ understanding of pain to develop more effective individualized treatments for clients’ pain experience, and inspire researchers as well. Among the topics covered: Why do we care? Evolutionary mechanisms in the social dimension of pain. When, how, and why do we express pain? On the overlap between physical and social pain. Facing others in pain: why context matters. Caregiving impact upon sufferers’ cognitive functioning. Targeting individual and interpersonal processes in therapeutic interventions for chronic pain. Social and Interpersonal Dynamics in Pain will be a valuable resource for clinicians who deal in pain practice and management, as well as for students and researchers interested in the social, interpersonal, and emotional variables that contribute to pain, the processes with which pain is associated, and the psychology of pain in general.

Book Value Based Management of Supplier

Download or read book Value Based Management of Supplier written by Zhanping Cheng and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2009 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supplier relationship managers often find it difficult to evaluate and optimize supplier relationships, which are crucial to the success of their business yet complex and multifaceted, characterized by long-term orientation, uncertainty, temporal evolution, idiosyncratic investment, improvement potential, and adaptation flexibility. How to design optimal supply contracts to govern supplier relationships has been a common problem in business practice for many years. This book draws on the modern theories of investment under uncertainty in the finance literature and proposes a hierarchical, dynamic and value-based solution for supplier relationship and supply contract management. At the strategic level, the author addresses supplier relationship management by putting forward a three-layer relationship valuation procedure and a fuzzy-stochastic relationship valuation model. In addition, decision models for managing a supplier relationship life cycle as well as configuring and planning supplier relationship portfolios are presented. At the tactical level, the author deals with supply contract management. A general, compound supply contract model is proposed and how to design optimal supply contracts under demand risk and price risk is explored. Furthermore, the contract portfolio configuration problem is discussed.

Book Advances in the Sociology of Trust and Cooperation

Download or read book Advances in the Sociology of Trust and Cooperation written by Vincent Buskens and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-10-26 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problem of cooperation is one of the core issues in sociology and social science more in general. The key question is how humans, groups, organizations, institutions, and countries can avoid or overcome the collective good dilemmas that could lead to a Hobbesian "war of all against all". The chapters in this book provide state of the art examples of research on this crucial topic. These include theoretical, laboratory, and field studies on trust and cooperation, thereby approaching the issue in three complementary and synergetic ways. The theoretical work covers articles on trust and control, reputation formation, and paradigmatic articles on the benefits and caveats of abstracting reality into models. The laboratory studies test the implications of different models of trust and reputation, such as the effects of social and institutional embeddedness and the potentially emerging inequalities this may cause. The field studies test these implications in applied settings such as business purchasing and supply, informal care, and different kinds of collaboration networks. This book is exemplary for rigorous social science. The focus is on effects of social conditions, in particular different forms of social and institutional embeddedness, on social outcomes at the macro level. Modelling efforts are applied to connect social conditions to social outcomes through micro-level behavior in ways that are easily overlooked when argumentation is intuitive and impressionistic. The book sets forth a mixed-method approach by applying different empirical methods to test hypotheses about similar questions. Several contributions re-evaluate the theoretical strengths and weaknesses following from the laboratory and field studies. Improving the theory in light of these findings facilitates pushing the boundaries of social science .
