Two Papers: 'The Grid' and 'Caesura'
Par Wilfred R. Bion. 1989
The Grid, an instrument devised to help the analyst record and elaborate observations arising from the analytic encounter, demonstrates how…
mathematics can be applied to locate the development, evolution and transformation of psychic elements and events. Caesura takes its title from Freud's observation: "There is much more continuity between intra-uterine life than the impressive caesura of the act of birth would have us believe". Here Bion speculates on the relationship between physiological and psychological birth, and the possibility that a pre-natal "primitive sensitiveness" may carry over and inform later psychological life.The Psychology of Reading: An Interdisciplinary Approach (2nd Edn) (Psychology Library Editions: Psychology of Reading #10)
Par Mildred C. Robeck, Randall R. Wallace. 1990
The need to know why as well as how children and youth respond as they do to reading instruction has…
guided the selection of this book’s content. The second edition of this title, originally published in 1990, has retained and elaborated upon the three major themes previously presented: that reading is a linguistic process; that motivation, the affective domain, may be as important in learning to read as the cognitive domain; and that the reality of learning theory is to be found in the mechanisms of the brain where information is mediated and memory traces are stored.The text integrates views from cognitive psychology, psycholinguistics, and neuropsychology as they relate to reading and writing. A learning-motivation model is provided to present associative learning, conceptualization, and self-directed reading in a hierarchical relationship with distinct cognitive and affective components. The distinction between beginning and proficient reading is maintained throughout the text.The Treatment of Shame and Guilt in Alcoholism Counseling
Par Ron Potter-Efron, Patricia Potter-Efron. 1989
This insightful new book sheds light directly on shame and guilt--interactive aspects of the human condition that are deeply involved…
in the development and treatment of alcoholism and chemical dependency. Contributors to this valuable book discuss the process of healing internalized shame within the chemically dependent client and among the family members. They explore creative techniqes that foster understanding and coping strategies--videotaping and storytelling with clay and stuffed animals. Professionals who are experienced in treating chemically dependent clients and their families explore shame and the healing of shame, while examining the culture within which both occur. A major focus is the destructiveness of shame and guilt--shame keeps the family from seeking help, erodes self-worth, and produces destructive secrets that cannot heal, and guilt may circulate freely between alcoholic and family members, so that everyone begins to feel responsible for the pain of others.Emotions in Ideal Human Development
Par Leonard Cirillo, Bernard Kaplan, Seymour Wapner. 1989
Derived from a conference sponsored by the Heinz Werner Institute for Developmental Analysis at Clark University, these papers consider the…
role emotions play in ideal human development. Contributors from the fields of psychology, philosophy, and sociology discuss the place that "feelings," "affect," "passion," and "emotion" should ideally occupy in human existence and how realization of this goal can be fostered. The conference organizers focused the discussions by asking the participants to consider six questions, each of which was intended to touch upon some aspect of the relationship between emotions and ideal human development. Chapters contain the papers presented and a summary of the discussions that followed the presentations.Juvenile Justice in Double Jeopardy: The Distanced Community and Vengeful Retribution
Par The Honorable Polier. 1989
Throughout her entire career, Judge Polier continually fought for the rights and needs of the poor. In this volume she…
describes the granting and denial of justice toward the poor -- particluarly poor children -- she observed during her tenure as a Family Court Judge in New York City. The book discusses the current state of the justice system and the outlook for the future. This volume helps readers understand how broadly shared the responsibility for the neglect of today's youth is and how society must reshape its attitudes and realign its priorities to help the thousands of children who are dependent upon the public for care and support. The book identifies how the courts have been weakened by their loss of direct contact with delinquent and neglected children and the "need for humanity and respect in dealing with difficult human problems." (from the introduction). From her personal experiences and observations, Judge Polier describes the granting and denial of justice she observed while she consistently emphasizes the need for direct contact with delinquent and neglected children. For students, professional, and researchers in sociology, criminal justice, and any social science discipline dealing with children and children's problems, Polier's book provides a behind-the-scenes look at one of the major problems facing society today.Brother Animal: The Story of Freud and Tausk
Par Paul Roazen. 1990
A major figure among pre-World War I psychoanalysts, Victor Tausk was perhaps Sigmund Freud's most brilliant pupil—"the most prominently outstanding"…
in the opinion of Lou Andreas-Salome. Tausk craved recognition for the originality of his work, and a fierce rivalry developed between pupil and mentor. Tausk. who felt a deep and neurotic dependence on Freud, was totally consumed in the struggle. Freud's final rejection of his follower, and the particularly unfortunate manner in which it was carried out, was followed by Tausk's bizarre suicide—and by an official silence that has all but obliterated his name from the annals of psychoanalysis.Social and Moral Values: Individual and Societal Perspectives (Psychology Revivals)
Par Nancy Eisenberg, Ervin Staub, Janusz Reykowski. 1989
Originally published in 1989, this joint venture of American and Polish psychologists provides an international perspective on the psychological factors…

Par Odean Cusack. 1989
This fascinating new book addresses the most recent research and provocative findings on the use of pets in mental health…
therapy. The historical basis of using pets in therapy is reviewed, and numerous examples are provided of results incurred from prescribing pets to disabled, lonely, incarcerated, and institutionalized individuals. The author provides convincing evidence of the therapeutic value of animals in making us happier, healthier, and more sociable. Although the terms human-animal bond and pet-facilitated therapy are relative newcomers to the scientific literature, the concepts they encompass have been with us for centuries.

Par Mary Jo Barrett, Terry Trepper. 1990
Systemic Treatment of Incest is the first book to take as its primary focus the treatment of incest families. The…
authors, who have spent a total of 25 years working with incest families, believe that therapy can succeed in halting the abuse without dissolving the family unit. The volume’s three sections are based on the authors’ three stages of therapy: creating a context for change; challenging behaviors, expanding alternatives; and consolidation. First published in 1990. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.Bizarre Behaviours: Boundaries of Psychiatric Disorder (Psychology Revivals)
Par Herschel Prins. 1990
The most deviant forms of human behaviour can be disturbing, incomprehensible, and sometimes very frightening. Herschel Prins believes that even…
the most deviant-seeming behaviours have their counterparts in ‘normality’ and can often be seen as an extension of this. In Bizarre Behaviours he sets some extreme forms of behaviour, such as vampirism and amok, in their socio-cultural and psychological contexts. Originally published in 1990, this very accessible and readable book will interest not only all those who have to deal with bizarre behaviour in the course of their work, but also the general reader who is interested in the origins and the infinite variety of human behaviours.Cognitive Strategies for Special Education: Process-Based Instruction (Routledge Library Editions: Psychology of Education)
Par Adrian F. Ashman, Robert N.F. Conway. 1989
Research on training programs for students with learning difficulties has usually focused on the development of social and behavioural skills…
and the acquisition of cognitive interventions and procedures. Originally published in 1989, this book attempts to apply the methods validated by research and synthesize the discoveries made in the psychological laboratory for the benefit of teachers in regular classrooms. It reviews the literature relevant to special needs teaching and traces the development of cognitive research as it applies to education. The authors propose a specific and practical teaching strategy which has been successfully used by those working with students with special needs. Starting from the basic belief that education is an interactive process between the participants, the authors have emphasised the role and responsibility both of the teacher and the learner. Their book should be of value to researchers and practitioners in psychology and special education.Technology as Symptom and Dream
Par Robert Romanyshyn. 1989
The development of linear perspective in the 15th century represented a radical transformation in the European's sense of the world,…
the body and the self. Robert Romanyshyn's latest book examines the claim that the development of linear perspective vision was and is indispensable to the emergence of our technological world. It does so by telling the story of how an artistic technique has become a cultural habit of mind.Black Families In Crisis: The Middle Class

Par Aaron Brower, Sheldon D Rose. 1990
In this comprehensive overview of the state of the art in the field, group workers and social scientists explore group…
research issues. Learn how they grapple with the major problems associated with doing research on treatment groups. While discussing the outcomes of their group treatment programs, the authors address such issues as non-random assignment, impact of group process on outcome, retrospective research design, the unit of analysis, multivariate analysis, single-case designs, and small samples. Each insightful chapter illustrates the decisions and compromises that researchers must make to explore group phenomenon and treatment. Advances in Group Work Research is an ideal supplementary text or casebook for practice-research courses. It will also be useful for those interested in empirical group work, group research, and practice research generally.This book presents a sample of papers from the last three years’Annual Symposium on Empirical Foundations of Group Work.Memory and Cognition in Its Social Context
Par Robert S. Wyer Jr., Thomas K. Srull. 1989
The first comprehensive theoretical formulation of the way people use information they receive about their social environments to make judgments…
and behavioral decisions, this volume focuses on the cognitive processes that underlie the use of social information. These include initial interpretation, the representations used to make inferences, and the transformation of these subjective inferences into overt judgment and behavior. In addition, it specifies the role of affect and emotion in information processing, and the role of self-knowledge at different stages of processing. The theoretical model presented here is the first to provide a conceptual integration of existing theory and research in all phases of social information processing. It not only accounts for the major portion of existing research findings, but permits several hypotheses to be generated concerning phenomena that have not yet been empirically investigated. Although focused here on the processing of information about people and events, the formulation proposed has implications for other domains such as personnel appraisal, political decision making, and consumer behavior.Systematic Treatment Selection: Toward Targeted Therapeutic Interventions
Par Larry E. Beutler, John F. Clarkin. 1990

Intervening With Assaulted Women: Current Theory, Research, and Practice
Par Gary Cameron, Michael Rothery, Barbara Pressman. 1989
Domestic violence against women is a problem that cries out for informed discussion and effective treatments. Intervening With Assaulted Women…
is a definitive response to those cries. The authors of each of the chapters included in this collection were selected for their ability to address a different issue related to the abuse of women. As a result, a wide range of concerns are confronted and discussed in this book, among them, the socio-political underpinnings of violence against women, the early childhood learning of assaultive men, and the traumatic impact of abuse on women and children. As for possible treatments, a current and uniquely comprehensive range of responses is described and evaluated, making this an excellent text for both front-line and classroom settings.Cognitive Behavioural Interviewing for Adult Disorders: A Practical Handbook (Routledge Library Editions: Psychiatry #24)
Par Peter H. Wilson, Susan H Spence, David J. Kavanagh. 1989
Originally published in 1989, the primary aim of this text was to provide a guide to the interview assessment of…
a wide range of common adult psychological problems. Emphasis is placed on the kinds of problems that were frequently encountered in outpatient centres at the time. The authors provide a general introduction to the nature and causes of each of the selected problems, with a focus on the kind of background knowledge that may be useful in the planning of initial interviews and the selection of appropriate interventions. Detailed examples are provided of the questions that may help elicit information on the history, severity, and causes of the problems for individual clients, and there is also a brief discussion of selected formal assessment instruments for each problem area. A major aim of the text is to teach basic principles of problem identification, behavioural analysis and a structured approach to assessment.
