This book situates the work of the Soviet psychologist and neurologist Alexander Luria (1902-1977) in its historical context and explores…
the 'romantic' approach to scientific writing developed in his case histories. Luria consistently asserted that human consciousness was formed by cultural and historical experience. He described psychology as the ‘science of social history’ and his ideas about subjectivity, cognition and mental health have a history of their own. Lines of mutual influence existed between Luria and his colleagues on the other side of the iron curtain, but Psychologies in Revolution also discusses Luria’s research in relation to Soviet history – from the October Revolution of 1917 through the collectivisation of agriculture and Stalinist purges of the 1930s to the Second World War and, finally, the relative stability of the Brezhnev era – foregrounding the often marginalised people with whom Luria’s clinical work brought him into contact. By historicising science and by focusing on a theoretical approach which itself emphasised the centrality of social and political factors for understanding human subjectivity, the book also seeks to contribute to current debates in the medical humanities.The Unconscious Domain (Springerbriefs In Psychology Ser.)
Par Henry Kellerman. 2020
This book enumerates the components of the unconscious domain (or realm), and attempts to uncover the proposed communicational network of…
its operation — a communicational network that is able to link inherent participating components of this realm. It is often the case that theoreticians and clinical practitioners refer to the unconscious or unconscious material in a way that implies the sense of it all rather than a specific definition, broadly describing it as “material which is out of one’s awareness.” This volume therefore examines the complex existence of the entire unconscious realm embraced in an evolutionary historical context, defined here as the 'unconscious domain'.Beyond Smart Cities: How Cities Network, Learn and Innovate
Par Tim Campbell. 2012
The promise of competitiveness and economic growth in so-called smart cities is widely advertised in Europe and the US. The…
promise is focussed on global talent and knowledge economies and not on learning and innovation. But to really achieve smart cities – that is to create the conditions of continuous learning and innovation – this book argues that there is a need to understand what is below the surface and to examine the mechanisms which affect the way cities learn and then connect together. This book draws on quantitative and qualitative data with concrete case studies to show how networks already operating in cities are used to foster and strengthen connections in order to achieve breakthroughs in learning and innovation. Going beyond smart cities means understanding how cities construct, convert and manipulate relationships that grow in urban environments. Cities discussed in this book – Amman, Barcelona, Bilbao, Charlotte,Curitiba, Juarez, Portland, Seattle and Turin – illuminate a blind spot in the literature. Each of these cities has achieved important transformations, and learning has played a key role, one that has been largely ignored in academic circles and practice concerning competitiveness and innovation.Your Body Knows: A Movement Guide for Actors

Par Cathy Urwin, Janine Sternberg. 2012
Psychoanalytic infant observation is frequently used in training psychoanalytic psychotherapists and allied professionals, but increasingly its value as a research…

Par Paul Crowther, Isabel Wünsche. 2012
Traditional art is based on conventions of resemblance between the work and that which it is a representation "of". Abstract…
art, in contrast, either adopts alternative modes of visual representation or reconfigures mimetic convention. This book explores the relation of abstract art to nature (taking nature in the broadest sense—the world of recognisable objects, creatures, organisms, processes, and states of affairs). Abstract art takes many different forms, but there are shared key structural features centered on two basic relations to nature. The first abstracts from nature, to give selected aspects of it a new and extremely unfamiliar appearance. The second affirms a natural creativity that issues in new, autonomous forms that are not constrained by mimetic conventions. (Such creativity is often attributed to the power of the unconscious.) The book covers three categories: classical modernism (Mondrian, Malevich, Kandinsky, Arp, early American abstraction); post-war abstraction (Pollock, Still, Newman, Smithson, Noguchi, Arte Povera, Michaux, postmodern developments); and the broader historical and philosophical scope.Psychotherapy and the Lonely Patient

Par Rossella Scatamburlo. 2020
Somos el fruto de nuestras relaciones. Nuestro yo es la suma de experiencias, contacto con los demás, lecturas, recuerdos. Cuando…
nos miramos al espejo, vemos un reflejo efímero de nosotros mismos, ligado a un hic et nunc irrepetible, mientras que, un instante después, no nos parecemos a nosotros mismos porque todo con lo que estamos en contacto nos transforma y nosotros transformamos aquello con lo que nos relacionamos. Así pues, también los objetos que tocamos ya no son los mismos tras haber dejado nuestras huellas como marcas estratificadas e indelebles. En esto pensaba Beatrice Verdi al concluir su proyecto de fin de carrera y después de profundizar en el síndrome de Stendhal. Su investigación la había puesto en contacto con el fascinante Carlo Regis, pero también con el diabólico Stefano Corona, auxiliar de sala de la Galería de la Academia de Florencia, que la había elegido como musa de inspiración para crear su obra maestra y que había urdido un plan terrible a sus espaldas…Creative Readings: Essays On Seminal Analytic Works (The New Library of Psychoanalysis)
Par Thomas H Ogden. 2012
Thomas H. Ogden is the winner of the 2004 International Journal of Psychoanalysis Award for the Most Important Paper of…
the year and the 2010 Haskell Norman Prize – an international award for "outstanding achievement as a psychoanalytic clinician, teacher and theoretician". Thomas Ogden is internationally recognized as one of the most creative analytic thinkers writing today. In this book he brings his original analytic ideas to life by means of his own method of closely reading major analytic works. He reads watershed papers in a way that does not simply cast new and discerning light on the works he is discussing, but introduces his own thinking regarding the ideas being discussed in the texts. Ogden offers expanded understandings of some of the most fundamental concepts constituting psychoanalytic theory and practice. He does so by finding in each of the articles he discusses much that the author knew, but did not know that he or she knew. An example of this is how Freud, in his conception of the unconscious workings of mourning and melancholia, was providing the foundation of a theory of unconscious internal object relations. Ogden goes on to provide further re-readings of classic material from the following key contributors to contemporary psychoanalysis: W. R. D. Fairbairn Donald Winnicott Wilfred Bion Hans Loewald Harold Searles. This book is not simply a book of readings, it is a book about reading, about how to read in a way that readers actively rewrite what they are reading, and in so doing makes the ideas truly their own. The concepts that Ogden develops in his readings provide a significant step in the reader’s expansion of his or her understanding of many of the ideas that lie at the cutting edge of contemporary psychoanalysis. It will be of particular interest to psychoanalysts and psychotherapists who use a psychodynamic approach, as well as professionals and academics with an interest in contemporary psychoanalysis.Interactional Coaching: Choice-focused Learning at Work (Essential Coaching Skills and Knowledge)

And each house demonstrates that design quality need not fall victim to the rigorous imperatives of cost, delivery, and financing.An Ethology of Religion and Art: Belief as Behavior (Routledge Studies in Religion)
Par Bryan Rennie. 2020
Drawing from sources including the ethology of art and the cognitive science of religion this book proposes an improved understanding…
of both art and religion as behaviors developed in the process of human evolution. Looking at both art and religion as closely related, but not identical, behaviors a more coherent definition of religion can be formed that avoids pitfalls such as the Eurocentric characterization of religion as belief or the dismissal of the category as nothing more than false belief or the product of scholarly invention. The book integrates highly relevant insights from the ethology and anthropology of art, particularly the identification of "the special" by Ellen Dissanayake and art as agency by Alfred Gell, with insights from, among others, Ann Taves, who similarly identified "specialness" as characteristic of religion. It integrates these insights into a useful and accurate understanding and explanation of the relationship of art and religion and of religion as a human behavior. This in turn is used to suggest how art can contribute to the development and maintenance of religions. The innovative combination of art, science, and religion in this book makes it a vital resource for scholars of Religion and the Arts, Aesthetics, Religious Studies, Religion and Science and Religious Anthropology.Outcome Research and the Future of Psychoanalysis explores the connection between outcome studies and important and complex questions of clinical…
practices, research methodologies, epistemology, and sociological considerations. Presenting the ideas and voices of leading experts in clinical and extra-clinical research in psychoanalysis, the book provides an overview of the state of the art of outcome research, its results and implications. Furthermore, its contributions discuss the basic premises and ideas of outcome research and in which way the contemporary Zeitgeist might shape the future of psychoanalysis. Divided into three parts, the book begins by discussing the scientific basis of psychoanalysis and advances in psychoanalytic thinking as well as the state of the art of psychoanalytic outcome research, critically analyzing so-called evidence-based therapies. Part II of the book contains exemplary research projects that are discussed from a clinical perspective, illustrating the dialogue between researchers and clinicians. Lastly, in Part III, several psychoanalysts review the importance of critical thinking and research in psychoanalytical education. Thought-provoking and expertly written and researched, this book is a useful resource for academics, researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of mental health, psychotherapy, and psychoanalysis.Occupational Therapy for Older People
Par Christian Pozzi, Alessandro Lanzoni, Maud J. L. Graff, Alessandro Morandi. 2020
This book focuses on evidence-based occupational therapy in the care of older adults in different clinical settings, from home to…
acute hospital, from intensive care unit to rehabilitation centers and nursing homes. Occupational therapy has progressively developed as a new discipline aiming to improve the daily life of individuals of different ages, from children to older adults. The book first reviews the interaction between occupational therapy and geriatrics and then discusses in depth how occupational therapy interventions are applied in the community, in the acute hospital and in the nursing home. It highlights the key role of occupational therapy in the management of frail patients, including critically ill older patients and persons with dementia, and describes in detail how to maintain occupational therapy interventions across different settings to avoid the fragmentation of care. The ageing population requires new innovative approaches to improve the quality of life, and as such this book provides clinicians with handy, key information on how to implement occupational therapy in the daily clinical care of older adults based on the current scientific evidence.Language and Concept Acquisition from Infancy Through Childhood: Learning from Multiple Exemplars
Par Jane B. Childers. 2020
This book examines the role of experience-based learning on children’s acquisition of language and concepts. It reviews, compares, and contrasts…
accounts of how the opportunity to recognize and generalize patterns influences learning. The book offers the first systematic integration of three highly influential research traditions in the domains of language and concept acquisition: Statistical Learning, Structural Alignment, and the Bayesian learning perspective. Chapters examine the parameters that constrain learning, address conditions that optimize learning, and offer explanations for cases in which implicit exemplar-based learning fails to occur. By exploring both the benefits and challenges children face as they learn from multiple examples, the book offers insight on how to better able to understand children’s early unsupervised learning about language and concepts. Topics featured in this book include:Competing models of statistical learning and how learning might be constrained by infants’ developing cognitive abilities.How experience with multiple exemplars helps infants understand space and other relations.The emergence of category-based inductive reasoning during infancy and early childhood.How children learn individual verbs and the verb system over time. How statistical learning leads to aggregation and abstraction in word learning.Mechanisms for evaluating others’ reliability as sources of knowledge when learning new words.The Search for Invariance (SI) hypothesis and its role in facilitating causal learning. Language and Concept Acquisition from Infancy Through Childhood is an essential resource for researchers, clinicians and related professionals, and graduate students in infancy and early child development, applied linguistics, language education, child, school, and developmental psychology and related mental health and education services.Consuming Cultural Hegemony: Bollywood in Bangladesh
Par Harisur Rahman. 2020
This book examines the circulation and viewership of Bollywood films and filmi modernity in Bangladesh. The writer poses a number…
of fundamental questions: what it means to be a Bangladeshi in South Asia, what it means to be a Bangladeshi fan of Hindi film, and how popular film reflects power relations in South Asia. The writer argues that partition has resulted in India holding hegemonic power over all of South Asia’s nation-states at the political, economic, and military levels–a situation that has made possible its cultural hegemony. The book draws on relevant literature from anthropology, sociology, film, media, communication, and cultural studies to explore the concepts of hegemony, circulation, viewership, cultural taste, and South Asian cultural history and politics.The Films of Kore-eda Hirokazu: An Elemental Cinema (East Asian Popular Culture)

documentaries of award-winning Japanese film director Kore-eda Hirokazu. With his recent top prize at the Cannes Film Festival for Shoplifters, Kore-eda is arguably Japan’s greatest living director with an international viewership.
