| | | |  | | Awakening Our Faith in the Future : The Advent of Psychological Liberalism | | | This book investigates the avenues for creating a new branch of psychology, a transformative political psychology.

Dunlap suggests that while liberals (more...) |

| | | |  | | Centers of Power : The Convergence of Psychoanalysis and Kabbalah | | | Kabbalah and psychoanalysis are conceptions about the nature of reality. The former is over two thousand years old. The latter has been formalized less than a hundred years ago. Nonetheless they are parallel journeys of discovery that have forever altered not only what we see, but the very nature of seeing itself. The purpose of this study is to explore how Kabbalah and psychoanalysis converge and diverge, complement and conflict with each other, in order to amplify their impact and enable (more...) |

| | | |  | | Explorations in Autism | | | "Explorations in Autism" is a turning point in both the understanding of and the clinical approach to autism. The clinical material gradually unveils the geography of the internal mother (which proved crucial for the development of Meltzer's claustrum theory) and allowed him to draft, for the first time in psychoanalysis, a theory of the dimensionality of mental life. The book is a moving journey through the dynamics of the transference-countertransference, revealing what Meltzer calls the (more...) |
|

| | | |  | | How Infants Know Minds | | | Most psychologists claim that we begin to develop a theory of mind - some basic ideas about other people's minds - at age two or three, by inference, deduction, and logical reasoning. But does this mean that small babies are unaware of minds? That they see other people simply as another (rather dynamic and noisy) kind of object? This is a common view in developmental psychology. Yet, as this book explains, there is compelling evidence that babies in the first year of life can tease, pretend, (more...) |

|
| | | |  | | Psychoanalytic Disagreements in Context | | | Contemporary psychoanalysts are eclectic and believe they use the best ideas from each of our numerous competing theoretic models. However, there is confusion and controversy about what constitutes 'best.' Critical differences between these theories are about inferences concerning the disguised meaning of what patients tell us. There can be no meaning without context but we have never developed a consensus about how we establish context (contextualization). This book offers a number of detailed (more...) |
|
| | | |  | | Radical Hope : Ethics in the Face of Cultural Devastation | | | New paperback edition. Shortly before he died, Plenty Coups, the last great Chief of the Crow Nation, told his story - up to a certain point.

| | | |  | | The Single Woman : A Discursive Investigation | | | The increase in numbers of single people has been described as one of the greatest social phenomena of our time. It is increasingly likely for most women that they will spend periods of their lives alone, without a committed partner relationship.
