Carrying Verbs Across the Channel: Modelling Change in Bilingual Medieval England (New Approaches to English Historical Linguistics)
by Achim Stein Michael Percillier Yela Schauwecker Carola TripsThis book examines grammatical changes that took place in the medieval language contact situation between English and French from 1066 until 1500. It investigates structural copying phenomena and their connection with the lexicon, finding that copying of lexical verbs with a predicate-argument structure accelerated wider grammatical changes, and shows why the traditional notion of borrowing should be replaced with the more adequate concept of copying. The authors start by taking a fresh look at the relationship between Old French and Middle English in light of recent developments in the fi eld of linguistics, arguing that what has traditionally been seen as a diglossic situation (i.e., as contact between the dominating speakers of French and the native speakers of English) should instead be analysed through the framework of bilingualism. The two contact scenarios under scrutiny are the ones between Old French and Middle English and Middle English and the contact variety of Anglo-French. On the basis of their case studies they develop a holistic model of contact-induced change that integrates the bilingual individual as well as the speech community and its sociolinguistic background. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of language history and change, language contact and acquisition, sociolinguistics, multilingualism, and psycholinguistics.

Cartas a Pedro: Guía para un psicoterapeuta que empieza
by Loretta Cornejo ParoliniDespués de su libro Manual de Terapia Infantil Gestáltica, la autora nos presenta Cartas a Pedro. Guía para un psicoterapeuta que empieza. Nace de la reflexión ante el hecho de que, cuando un profesional termina su formación como terapeuta y a pesar de todos los seminarios, talleres y conferencias, se encuentra con que la sensación de inseguridad ante el reto que se le presenta, aún persiste. Esto es normal en todo estudiante que tiene que lanzarse a definirse y a poner en práctica lo que ha visto de modo teórico o experimental.Cartas a Pedro tiene como objetivo resolver muchas dudas de orden práctico, que tal vez no se hayan tocado en el entrenamiento terapéutico, pero que son importantes para sentirse más seguro y, al mismo tiempo, tener una referencia que luego el terapeuta decidirá o no seguir. Trataremos sobre el uso del tiempo, el por qué de la duración de las sesiones ?tanto en su inicio como en su terminación?, los miedos del terapeuta, las escenas temidas, qué hacer cuando un paciente no habla o no viene, el manejo de las resistencias, el clima emocional necesario para acoger a un paciente... Y presentaremos algunos ejercicios prácticos basados en la Terapia Gestalt que al menos aporten al ?cesto del terapeuta? herramientas que ayuden a explorar ciertos temas que a veces se evaden pero que están en la mente de todos.Cartas a Pedro transmite algo difícil de aprender en los libros de texto, el amor a la profesión, el amor al trabajo terapéutico, el amor al paciente.
Cartesian Philosophy and the Flesh: Reflections on incarnation in analytical psychology
by Frances GrayHow do you know anything is true? What relation is there between my psyche and your psyche, does one exist? Can we doubt everything or are some things indubitable? What does Jung have to say about body and psyche, body and mind? Cartesian Philosophy and the Flesh is an analysis and critique of interpretations of Cartesian philosophy in analytical psychology. It focuses on readings of Descartes that have important implications for understanding Jung, and analytical and existential psychology generally. Frances Gray's book raises questions about the 'place' of the body in a theory of the human psyche and about what kind of psyche, if any, is essential to concepts of human being. Gray claims that the debates around Descartes and metaphysical dualism have been oversimplified and that this has had a profound effect on conceptualizing an on-going relation between psyche and body. The book also explores the relationship between Jung's conception of the phenomenological standpoint and that of Edmund Husserl and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. Cartesian Philosophy and Flesh brings together Descartes’ idea of self-interrogation and self-reflection and Jung's project in The Red Book, the practice of spiritual exercises is the underpinning orientation of both men. It recommends similar practices to anyone interested in the truths of their own living. Gray’s book will be of interest to Jung scholars, and those with an interest in Jungian studies, Analytical Psychologists and Philosophers.
Carved by Experience: Vipassana, Psychoanalysis, and the Mind Investigating Itself
by Michal Barnea-AstrogHow does the tendency to crave pleasure and reject pain shape our lives? How does it affect the way we perceive reality, and how is it related to the emergence of suffering and the way it is experienced and transmitted? Can we live free of this tendency, beyond the pleasure principle? This book approaches these questions through an examination of the psychoanalytic concepts of projection and projective identification in the light of early Buddhist thought. It looks at the personal and the interpersonal, at theory, meta-theory, and everyday life. It observes how the mind's habits mould the human condition, and investigates its ability to free itself from their domination. It examines the potential of this liberation: to be in touch with reality as it is and live a less reactive, more ethical life.
