Download or read book Male Alienation at the Crossroads of Identity Culture and Cyberspace written by Robert Tyminski and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I¿m broken." When a boy or man says this, he is expressing deep alienation from himself and the world. Something¿s wrong, and he usually cannot begin to explain why. What brings boys and men into psychotherapy or analysis? Many of them struggle with access to their inner worlds. Experiences of alienation can lead to destructive and self-destructive behaviors, including addiction and violence. This book explores the reasons for this and considers why boys and men seek professional help, weaving together clinical practice, contemporary research into masculinity, Jungian analytic theory and psychoanalytic theory, and multicultural aspects of identity. What leads a good number of them to become caught in the binary transactions of cyberspace? How do psychotherapists and analysts engage them when they often protest that they want to be left alone? Looking at the male psyche from boyhood through adolescence and into adulthood, Male Alienation at the Crossroads of Identity, Culture and Cyberspace provides examples from clinical practice, current events, art, and literature that show what happens when alienation is severe and leads boys and men to discharge their emotional problems in the outside world. The book examines compulsive internet use, flawed concepts of masculinity, difficulties with mutually intimate relationships, trouble showing emotions, and identity issues, as well as the role of fathers, with a focus on the types of fathers that many boys and men describe as being difficult. Tyminski provides various practical ideas about working with boys and men to encourage them to be open to their inner worlds, and emphasizes the contrast between having meaningful contact with one¿s inner world and having a merely transactional approach to relating. Male Alienation at the Crossroads of Identity, Culture and Cyberspace will be essential reading for Jungian analysts, psychotherapists and psychoanalysts as well as a wide range of other professionals who work with men and boys.
Download or read book Alienation and Identification written by Austin J. McGrath and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consider your love for something you believe valuable, perhaps a friend or your child. Contrast this love with the kind of hate that drug addicts typically have toward their addiction. Some philosophers would call your desire for your friend's or child's wellbeing, an identified-with attitude, and the addict's desire for their drug, an alien attitude. Many use identification and alienation as standards for, among other things, moral responsibility and autonomy, arguing that identifying with an attitude that leads one to act is sufficient (or necessary) for moral responsibility for and autonomy in that act, whereas being alienated from the attitude that leads to action is sufficient (or necessary) for not being morally responsible for nor autonomous in the act. Even non-philosophers seem to use alienation and identification; often we use them as standards for "living our best lives"-our best lives fit with what we really believe and want, that is, attitudes we identify with. The problem is, extant and natural theories of alienation and identification are almost universally recognized as deeply problematic. I argue for new theories of both alienation and identification that, I also argue solve these problems. The first chapter starts with the idea that the concepts of alienation and identification mutually exclude each other. If an attitude is alien, we cannot think it is identified-with, and if an attitude is identified-with, we cannot think it is alien. I ask the question, which relation between alienation and identification most plausibly secures their mutual exclusivity? Beside the answer being interesting, it will ensure that our theories of alienation and identification do not allow for the impossible alien identified-with attitude, and it may help us develop a theory of one from the other-for example, if alienation were merely not identifying with an attitude, then once we have a theory of identification, we immediately have one of alienation. The relation that I argue most plausibly secures their mutual exclusivity is a certain kind of opposition which allows for neutral attitudes, attitudes that we neither identify with nor are alienated from. The next chapter begins by explaining certain deep, apparently intractable problems for extant and natural theories of alienation. Very roughly, the main problems are that none of the views can handle cases in which we manipulate you into alienation-they all imply that alienation can be the result of manipulation-nor can they provide a principled reason why the attitudes they point to as those constituting our alienation are of the right kind-are special enough-to ground our alienation, for example, a rejection of another attitude doesn't seem to have any particularly special features allowing it to constitute our alienation with another attitude. The view I argue for that I also argue solves these problems is roughly, an attitude is alien just when and because the relevant negative attitude toward it makes sense in light of all of our attitudes collectively. The rough argument for this view is that an attitude is alien just when and because our rejection of it reflects our view, and this happens just when and because the rejection makes sense to us. The thesis of the next chapter naturally follows if the first two are right: an attitude is identified-with just and because the relevant pro℗Ơ℗Ơ-attitude toward it makes sense in light of our attitudes collectively. For example, when your, say, endorsement of your desire for your friend or child's wellbeing makes sense in light of your other attitudes collectively-when your full, actual self rationalizes the endorsement, then, and only then, is your desire identified with. Not surprisingly, I argue for this view in roughly the same way I argue for the alienation view of the previous paper.
Download or read book Alienation and Identity in Romantic Love written by Gary Foster and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2024-08-06 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of romantic love, influenced as it is by the theme within Romanticism of alienation and identification, suggests an important connection between love and personal identity. Love in this context recognizes both the sense in which one’s beloved is a separate human being and is, at the same time, a constitutive aspect of one’s identity. Alienation and Identity in Romantic Love explores this connection in the context of discussions of both metaphysical views of personal identity and practical or ethical accounts. To this end, Gary Foster discusses the work of influential philosophers in both the analytic and continental traditions as well as the findings of sociologists. He explores the love and personal identity relationship through moral and narrative perspectives and examines certain aspects of the modern love experience such as the phenomenon of online dating. Ultimately, Foster finds in Jean-Paul Sartre’s work a promising approach to understanding this connection through his emphasis on embodied identity.
Download or read book Alienation written by Rahel Jaeggi and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2014-08-26 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hegelian-Marxist idea of alienation fell out of favor after the postmetaphysical rejection of humanism and essentialist views of human nature. In this book Rahel Jaeggi draws on the Hegelian philosophical tradition, phenomenological analyses grounded in modern conceptions of agency, and recent work in the analytical tradition to reconceive alienation as the absence of a meaningful relationship to oneself and others, which manifests in feelings of helplessness and the despondent acceptance of ossified social roles and expectations. A revived approach to alienation helps critical social theory engage with phenomena such as meaninglessness, isolation, and indifference. By severing alienation's link to a problematic conception of human essence while retaining its social-philosophical content, Jaeggi provides resources for a renewed critique of social pathologies, a much-neglected concern in contemporary liberal political philosophy. Her work revisits the arguments of Rousseau, Hegel, Kierkegaard, and Heidegger, placing them in dialogue with Thomas Nagel, Bernard Williams, and Charles Taylor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Terrorism has dominated the domestic and international landscape since 9/11. Determining what drives people to commit acts of terrorism is no easy task. The important new book fills a gap in the psychology and psychiatry literature by examining the relationship between evil and mental illness, and in particular amongst terrorists. How can evil, a characteristic of human nature, become extreme, intent on destruction and lead to acts of terrorism? Featuring contributions from leading experts in this field, Evil, Terrorism and Psychiatry explores whether there are specific personality traits, psychological characteristics or psychopathological conditions that may favour a lack of control of violence in terrorists. It also offers possible novel prevention strategies to help understand and prevent these acts in future. Featuring articles from a special issue of CNS Spectrums, this book also includes brand new chapters found exclusively in this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do people adopt attitudes of political alienation--attitudes of estrangement from, or lack of identification with, the political system? Why do some politically alienated people react to their alienation by engaging in revolutionary behavior, while others similarly alienated--become reformers or ritualists, and still others simply drop out of political activity?In Political Alienation and Political Behavior, David C. Schwartz attempts to answer these questions, challenging accepted theories of social status and economic difficulties and developing a completely new, three variable psychological theories to explain alienation. Based on observations of threat from value conflict, perceived personal inefficacy, and perceived systemic inefficacy, the theory includes a process model for predicting political behavior.The book is organized into a definition and discussion of the concept of political alienation, including reviews and critiques of relevant scholarly and popular literature; a theoretical explanation of the causes and consequences of alienation; presentation of data; research reports testing the author's explanation of political alienation; tests of a process model explaining the consequences of alienation; and a summary of the major findings of the research, indicating some of the directions that future research might profitably take.Fascinating reading for social scientists, this well-written book will be important to teachers and students concerned with U.S. politics and more generally with the relationship of economic, social, and psychological forces manifested in political behavior.

Download or read book Alienation and Affect written by Warren D. TenHouten and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alienation has objective, social-structural determinants, yet is experienced subjectively as a psychological state involving both emotion and cognition. Part I considers conceptualizations of alienation and affect in historical context, emphasizing Rousseau, Hegel, Marx, Simmel, and Weber. Part II develops a theory of the affective bases of Seeman’s original five varieties of alienation – normlessness, meaninglessness, self-estrangement, cultural estrangement, and powerlessness. The book argues that both normlessness and cultural estrangement manifest in two distinct forms and involve distinct emotions. Thus it develops the affective bases of seven distinct varieties of alienation. This work synthesizes classical and contemporary alienation theory and the sociology of emotions. It contributes to political sociology, and finds application in social psychiatry and related health and social-service fields that treat traumatized and highly alienated individuals.
Download or read book Alienation and Theatricality written by Phoebe von Held and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alienation (Vefremdung) is a concept inextricably linked with the name of twentieth-century German playwright Bertolt Brecht - with modernism, the avant-garde and Marxist theory. However, as Phoebe von Held argues in this book, 'alienation' as a sociological and aesthetic notionavant la lettre had already surfaced in the thought of eighteenth-century French philosopher and writer Denis Diderot. This original study destabilizes the conventional understanding of alienation through a reading ofLe Paradoxe sur le comedien, Le Neveu de Rameau and other works by Diderot, opening up new ways of interpretation and aesthetic practices. If alienation constitutes a historical development for the Marxist Brecht, for Diderot it defines an existential condition. Brecht uses the alienation-effect to undermine a form of naturalism based on subjectivity, identification and illusion; Diderot, by contrast, plunges the spectator into identification and illusion, to produce an aesthetic of theatricality that is profoundly alienating and yet remains anchored in subjectivity.
Download or read book Parental Alienation written by Demosthenes Lorandos and published by Charles C. Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Parental Alienation - Science and Law explains the research that creates the foundation for the assessment, identification, and intervention in cases of parental alienation (PA). For attorneys, judges, and family law professionals, this book explains in detail the scientific basis for testimony and legal decisions that relate to PA. There are two complementary features for most of the chapters. First, the chapter authors address how evidence regarding PA meets the criteria of the Frye, Daubert, and Mohan cases as well as the Federal Rules of Evidence for testimony by experts. The second feature is to refute common misinformation. There is debate and disagreement about some aspects of PA theory. The editors of this book are concerned that some of the discourse regarding PA has spun out of control, into pervasive misinformation. This book provides plenty of evidence for overcoming that hurdle. The editors of this book and the chapter authors have extensive experience with both clinical and legal aspects of divorce, child custody, parenting time evaluations, PA, and related topics. The editors and chapter authors include six psychologists, three physicians, two social workers, four attorneys, and one judge. Collectively, these mental health professionals have testified as expert witnesses hundreds of times regarding family law topics. As an additional feature, the book contains four appendices and three indexes. Appendix A defines the concepts used in this book, so that the chapter authors and readers will use terminology in a consistent manner. Appendix B lists more than one thousand trial and appellate cases in the U.S. involving PA, organized by state. Appendix C presents twenty rather dramatic vignettes involving PA. Finally, Appendix D, "Sample Motion and Brief for Extended Voir Dire," provides a motion and supporting brief asking the court to allow extended time to examine the competency of a proposed expert"--
