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 Mary Jo Barrett, Terry Trepper. 1990

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 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 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.

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.The informative and controversial findings in this book are based on two path-breaking national surveys of American families. Both show…
that while the family may be the central locus of love and support, it is also the locus of risk for those who are physically assaulted. The book provides a wealth of information on gender differences and similarities in violence, and on the effects of gender roles and inequality.Two landmark American studies of violence from the National Family Violence survey form the basis of this book. Both show that while the family may be the central locus of love and support, it is also the locus of risk for those who are being physically assaulted. This is particularly true for women and children, who are statistically more at risk of assault in their own homes than on the streets of any American city. Physical Violence in American Families provides a wealth of information on gender differences and similarities in violence, and on the effects of gender roles and inequality. It is essential for anyone doing empirical research or clinical assessment.Motivational Interviewing for Leaders in the Helping Professions: Facilitating Change in Organizations (Applications of Motivational Interviewing)

a more normal sex life. Based on the same therapeutic methods that have proven clinically effective for 90% of men suffering from premature ejaculation (PE), this straightforward volume describes a rapid, practical self-help program that can be used by single men or couples in the privacy of their home. Dr Kaplan first explains the nature of PE and its causes and then describes her effective treatment techniques. She also discusses the errors and resistances that can arise and provides suggestions on how to overcome them.Adolescent Suicide: Recognition, Treatment, and Prevention
Par Barry Garfinkel. 1990
Inform yourself with thorough and accurate knowledge about the incidence of adolescent suicide. Adolescent Suicide serves to correct erroneous conceptions--held…
by the public and professionals--about the nature of suicidal behavior among the young, thereby promoting the opportunity for more prompt and effective evaluation and management of potentially fatal incidents. In this landmark volume, authorities address the problem of suicide among adolescents, which has emerged in recent years as a significant public health problem. In-depth discussions of the epidemiology and behavioral characteristics of youth who attempt and complete suicide, risk factors, methods of death, circumstances of the suicidal act, and reasons for the dramatic increase in the phenomenon provide social workers, educators, psychologists, and psychiatrists with systematic information that can be used in both prevention and intervention efforts. There is also a wealth of valuable material here on school-based suicide prevention programs, strategies for managing and counseling the relatives, peers, and classmates of individuals who have committed suicide, and coping with suicide in residential treatment centers.Hidden Selves: Between Theory and Practice in Psychoanalysis
Par Masud Khan. 1989
The 'hidden selves' that Masud Khan reveals to us in this third volume of his psychoanalytic writings are to be…
understood in two ways. Primarily, they are those aspects of the self which are inherent in, but unsuspected by, the individual concerned, and which need to be identified if that individual is to achieve a full and healthy self-awareness. More broadly, they are the ingredients of human nature which may not be evident on the surface but which can be brought out through literature or art, for example, or through the insights gained in psychoanalysis. In analysis, and over a period of time, both analyst and patient discover parts of their personality that were unknown to each other at the start. The person is not just a single 'self' but a collage of hidden selves; and one of the goals of psychoanalysis is to find out how this collage functions for the individual concerned - whether through symptomatology or through introspection.
