Download or read book Like mother like daughter written by Armstrong, Jill and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2019-03-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women are encouraged to believe that they can occupy top jobs in society by the example of other women thriving in their careers. Who better to be a role model for career success than your mother? Paradoxically, this book shows that having a mother as a role model, even for graduates of top universities, does not predict daughters progressing in their own careers. It finds that mothers with careers, whilst highly influential in their daughters’ choice of career path, rarely mentor their daughters as they progress. This is partly explained by ‘quiet ambition’ – the tendency of women to be modest about their achievements. Bigger issues are the twin pressures from contemporary motherhood and workplace culture that ironically lead career women’s daughters to believe that being a ‘good mother’ means working part-time. This stalls career progress. Based on a large, cross-generational qualitative sample, this book offers a timely and original perspective on the debate about gender equality in leadership positions.

Download or read book A Young Girl s Diary written by Sigmund Freud and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-10-08 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A Young Girl's Diary" (also known as "The Diary of Anna O." or "Case Histories II") is not written by Sigmund Freud. Instead, it is a case study and collection of clinical notes by Dr. Josef Breuer, a prominent Austrian physician, and psychiatrist, and Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis. The diary belongs to a patient named Anna O., whose real name was Bertha Pappenheim. Bertha Pappenheim was a young woman who suffered from a range of psychological and physical symptoms, including hysteria and what was then referred to as "conversion disorder." She was one of the first patients to undergo psychoanalysis, and her treatment with Dr. Breuer laid the foundation for many psychoanalytic concepts developed by Freud and others. The diary is a compilation of Bertha's thoughts, experiences, and emotions during her treatment, as recorded by Dr. Breuer. It includes her descriptions of her symptoms, dreams, and associations, providing valuable insights into the early practice of psychoanalysis. While "A Young Girl's Diary" is not a work by Sigmund Freud, it is an important historical document in the development of psychoanalysis and the understanding of psychological disorders. Freud later built upon the insights gained from cases like Anna O.'s in his own works, such as "Studies on Hysteria" and "The Interpretation of Dreams."

W. Chase Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) was an Austrian neurologist and the father of psychoanalysis, a clinical method for treating psychopathology through dialogue between a patient and a psychoanalyst. In creating psychoanalysis, Freud developed therapeutic techniques such as the use of free association and discovered transference, establishing its central role in the analytic process. Freud's redefinition of sexuality to include its infantile forms led him to formulate the Oedipus complex as the central tenet of psychoanalytical theory. His analysis of dreams as wish-fulfillments provided him with models for the clinical analysis of symptom formation and the mechanisms of repression as well as for elaboration of his theory of the unconscious. Freud postulated the existence of libido, an energy with which mental processes and structures are invested and which generates erotic attachments, and a death drive, the source of compulsive repetition, hate, aggression and neurotic guilt.

Download or read book Concrete Angel written by Patricia Abbott and published by Polis Books. This book was released on 2015-06-09 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nominated for the Anthony and Macavity Award Evil doesn’t always live next door. Sometimes it lives right in your own home. Eve Moran has always wanted “things,” her powers of seduction impossible to resist for those who come in contact with her toxic allure. And over the course of her life, she has proven both inventive and tenacious in getting and keeping whatever such things catch her eye, whether they are jewelry, money, or men. Eve lies, steals, cheats, swindles, and is even willing to take a life, paying little heed to the cost of her actions on those who love her and depend on her. Her daughter, Christine, compelled by love, dependency, and circumstance, is caught up in her mother’s deceptions, unwilling to accept the viciousness that runs in her family’s blood. It’s only when Christine’s three-year old brother, Ryan, begins to prove useful to her mother, and Christine sees a horrific pattern repeating itself, that she finds the courage and means to bring an end to Eve’s tyranny. Concrete Angel centers around a family torn apart by a mother straight out of “Mommie Dearest”, and her resilient young daughter who discovers that survival can mean fighting the closest evil imaginable.

Download or read book The Old House in the City Or Not Forsaken written by Agnes Giberne and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IT was an old old house, situated somewhere near the central parts of London. The street was narrow and gloomy, branching off at right angles from a frequented thoroughfare, and the lofty uppermost stories, rising tier above tier, and closing in overhead, left but a narrow strip of heaven's blue visible to those below, even on the brightest and sunniest of days. It was neither bright nor sunny now, for twilight shrouded the giant city, and already its myriad lights twinkled through the gloom, in preparation for the coming hours of darkness. Dull indeed was this confined alley, with its old-fashioned buildings on either side, in the midst of which, on the right hand, at the farthest corner, stood the aged house already mentioned. It had not always been so old. Once, in long past days, it had been a stately mansion of no small pretensions, forming the home of some wealthy city merchant, or, a little farther back, it may be, even of a nobleman himself. But that was over now. Noblemen and city merchants had alike been swept away in the hurrying tide westward, and the old mansion had sunk many grades in the scale of society. A great change had taken place since those far-off days, one or two hundred years before! No delicately-nurtured ladies now, in silk and velvet, in paint and patches, went daintily up and down its broad oaken staircase. No gaily-attired young gallants, with tossing plumes and clinking swords, passed to and fro through its outer door. That massive portal was never closed now, for the old house was no longer a home, but only a mass of tightly-packed dwellings. No heavy coaches, drawn by fashionable Flemish mares, lumbered in stately grandeur through the narrow street. Far back in a distant horizon lay such dignities. Ladies and gallants, velvets and plumes, Flemish mares and gorgeous splendour—who could dream of such terms in connection with this squalid neighbourhood? Who could look on those dirt-begrimed ceilings, and imagine brilliant candelabra suspended from their centres? Who could view the discoloured walls, and realize that they were once crowded with works of art? Who could glance at the bare unwashed rooms, and listen without an incredulous smile to the tale of velvet furniture and priceless decorations, which once graced those very apartments? Gone for ever were those days of wealth and luxury. The old mansion had sunk into a mere tenement-house, crowded with carpenters, shoemakers, tailors, and porters, too often in the lowest depths of wretchedness. It was a close summer's evening, and heavy oppression pervaded the atmosphere, though the sun had sunk below the horizon, and the last gleams of red light, finding their way through the dull mist overhead, had faded at length from the tallest chimney-tops. But no sweet breath of country freshness could penetrate so far through the city. No cooling breeze ever crept between the massive walls of the houses forming Ansty Court.
