The Evolution of Freud: His Theoretical Development of the Mind-Body Relationship and the Role of Sexuality
by Barry R SilversteinRenowned Freud scholar Barry R. Silverstein presents in a historical context an overview of the development of Freud's theories. What was Freud thinking, when, and why and what were the major influences which shaped his ideas? We follow the inner movement of his theory construction, its meaning and coherence, as well as his conceptual logic and personal directions concerning his evolving views of the reciprocal interactions between mind and body, the motivational force of instinctual drives, and the dominant role of sexuality rooted in evolutionary biology in human development, behaviour, and the creation of neurotic disturbances. We follow Freud's construction and sequential reconstructions of his theoretical models concerning the nature, dynamics, and principles of unconscious mental functioning, including his changing concepts on the nature and purpose of dreams. We trace his changing views on the role of deferred action of early childhood experiences and the determining role of unconscious fantasy, psychic reality, in the formation of adult character structure and neuroses. Through such historical analysis this book provides grounding for a meaningful understanding of Freud's familiar concepts: id, ego, superego, and the Oedipus complex. We explore what these concepts meant to Freud, why he conceived them, and what functions they served in his theory of mind. This is the perfect book for students and trainees wanting to learn more about the development of Freud's ideas, as well as for established psychoanalysts and psychotherapists interested in expanding their knowledge of Freud's theories.

Bringing Your Heart to Work: A Seven-Step Journey to Mental Health and Wellbeing
by Hazel HyslopBringing your Heart to Work: A Seven-Step Journey to Mental Health and Wellbeing is based on Hazel Hyslop's experience of working as a mental health specialist locally and globally. It gives an account of her personal experience of burnout and her witnessing of burnout among her colleagues and clients. In her own journey to self-care, Hazel kept journals of her experiences and noticed a pattern in what worked. She started using some of these principles in her work as she began to see a parallel process with many of her clients and colleagues. For example, most of her clients were women, most high achievers, had great careers, but secretly harboured passions that they were not pursuing. The drive to succeed led to increased stress and burnout, as well as questioning their identity and purpose in life. What was becoming clearer with each client was that their story was mirroring her own story. Hazel too had been on the hamster wheel for many years trying to achieve success. She reached a point in her life where she no longer knew who she was. She had become lost, confused, scared. Hazel had no professionals to emulate in her family. Her parents, their parents, and the generations before had completed only basic elementary schooling. Her determination to do well coupled with expectations from others, led her to push herself to get to the top as quickly as she could. She had to beat all odds to become the first one in her family to go to secondary school, to university, to become a professional. As newborns we come into the world as pure beings. However, by the age of seven years, we are influenced by those around us and our beliefs systems are formed. We are programmed for success based on who we are, what we have or what we do, and what others think of us. However, over time, we start to recognise that this is not enough. The more we strive, the more we become dissatisfied. A familiar story from clients is: "I feel lost, I have no purpose, or I feel stuck. I don't know who I am anymore." With the help of Hazel's Seven-Step Journey model, clients are able to facilitate a transformation to help regain purpose and a sense of self. The model uses the metaphor of a journey: the book asks the reader to take a voyage through their lives, offering tools to gain clarity and find better solutions. This journey is illustrated with client stories to demonstrate how the model helped them to transform and to give hope to the reader for their own metamorphosis. At a time when so many are experiencing overwork, overwhelm, and overthinking, Bringing your Heart to Work: A Seven-Step Journey to Mental Health and Wellbeingis the ideal book to quieten the noise and recapture you are and who you want to be.
Gazing on God: Trinity, Church and Salvation in Orthodox Thought and Iconography
by Andreas AndreopoulosAn exposition of Orthodox systematic theology, 'Gazing on God' is written from the point of view of the experience of the faithful, drawing on traditional icons and liturgy. By tracing the depth of some key Christian concepts -salvation, Logos, the Trinity- Andreas Andreopoulos provides a framework for the theology of experience. In the following chapters seven select icons are analyzed, in order to demonstrate the theological ideas and themes that may be revealed by studying Christianity through iconography. The analysis touches on topics such as time (the eternity of God, 'flat' liturgical time), space, the Church as the Body of Christ, and the Trinity. 'Gazing on God' offers to all Christian traditions a demonstration that, while our understanding of the development of Christian views and attitudes is guided by the history of theological ideas, Christianity includes from the beginning a strong dimension of meta-linguistic knowledge, which is expressed in its liturgy, as well as in its symbolism.
Fishing for Souls: The Development and Impact of British Fishermen's Missions
by Stephen FriendFishing for Souls explores the origins and development of fishermen's missions in Britain, focussing particularly on the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This book is the first to view the entire picture of a significant, although not broadly known, part of British history, and to add new relevant perspectives. Dr Stephen Friend FRSA establishes 'an historical outline of the development of the churches' work among British fishing communities and explores why a mission specifically concerned with fishermen was not initiated until the industry entered a period of economic decline during the early 1880s. The factors relating to the development of British fisherman's missions are complex, involving not only social and technological changes inside and outside the fishing industry, but also changing theological perceptions that had a significant impact on attitudes to social conditions'. With its honesty and objectivity about developments, especially those that were difficult and painful for the fishermen's mission societies at the time, Fishing for Souls reveals the magnificent work that the various societies did, and in some cases continue to do, making it evident to all the readers.

Autistic Phenomena and Unrepresented States: Explorations in the Emergence of Self
by Howard B. Levine and Jani SantamaríaWith contributions from Anne Alvarez, Joshua Durban, Jeffrey L. Eaton, Bernard Golse, Didier Houzel, Howard B. Levine, Suzanne Maiello, Sylvain Missonnier, Bernd Nissen, Marganit Ofer, and Jani Santamaria. The capacity to create psychic representations is now understood to be a developmental achievement. Without it, meaning cannot be ascertained and this can lead to "psychic voids" and "unrepresented states", which can contribute to the development of autism and autistic spectrum disorders (ASD). Unrepresented states are also implicated and encountered in other, non-autistic, non-neurotic conditions, such as psychosomatic disorders, addictions, perversions, and primitive character disorders. The affects that unrepresented states produce or are associated with are often those of terror, emptiness, annihilation and despair. The organisation of the psyche consists of psychotic - i.e. unstructured - as well as neurotic parts of the mind; unintegrated as well as integrated areas; and unrepresented areas with little meaning as well as represented states consisting of specific ideas imbued with affect. Given this organisation, we should expect to find both an unstructured and a dynamic unconscious in all patients. This implies that, to some degree, unrepresented and unintegrated states are universal and will exist and be encountered in all of us. Consequently, the opportunities and challenges presented by the understanding and treatment of autism and ASD, where the unrepresented and its consequences (e.g. defensive organisations employed to protect against annihilation anxiety and catastrophic dread) can be encountered may offer us metaphors and clues relevant to aspects of the treatment of all patients, no matter what their dominant diagnoses may be. Packed with theory and helpful case studies, this carefully edited collection from an international array of experts in the field is essential reading for all practising clinicians.

Pro Rege: Living Under Christ the King (Abraham Kuyper Collected Works in Public Theology)
by Abraham KuyperAbraham Kuyper firmly believed that Jesus Christ is King not just of Christians, but of the entire cosmos. In volume two of Pro Rege, he continues his analysis of the extent to which Christ rules--first in the human heart, then in the life of the church, and continuing to the life of the Christian family. Kuyper believed that it was nonsense to distinguish between life inside and outside of church walls. Here, he shows that although Jesus' kingship has been denied and denigrated, Christ still exerts his power in the world through his people. This new translation of Pro Rege, created in partnership with the Abraham Kuyper Translation Society and the Acton Institute, is part of a major series of new translations of Kuyper's most important writings. The Abraham Kuyper Collected Works in Public Theology marks a historic moment in Kuyper studies, aimed at deepening and enriching the church's development of public theology.
We are Better than This: Essays Addressing Policies on Asylum Seekers
by Robyn CadwalladerWe Are Better Than This is a collection of essays and poetry addressing the Australian government’s asylum seeker policy. The aims of the book are several: to provide some of the information about the situation in detention camps that is being withheld by the government; to correct some of the government’s misrepresentations of the current situation; to clarify some of the complex legal issues surrounding the right to seek asylum, and to give some insight into the plight of those who are seeking asylum. It is hoped that this book will better inform people about the government’s policies: to support those who are unsatisfied and seeking to change the situation, as well as those who are uncertain and need more easily accessible and reliable information. Contributors are drawn from several areas of expertise and engagement with asylum seekers.
Bonhoeffer Down Under - Australian and South African Essays Celebrating the Centenary of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Birth
by Gordon Preece and Ian PackerBonhoeffer is among ten twentieth-century martyrs above the Great West Door at Westminster Cathedral, where their portraits often tell more about the artists and their age than the saint and theirs, the movement of their lives and the movements they belonged to or founded. This is certainly true of Bonhoeffer and the Church of his anguished age.

SOBRE LA SERIE La serie Vampiros de Scanguards está llena de acción trepidante, escenas de amor ardientes, diálogos ingeniosos y héroes y heroínas fuertes. El vampiro Samson Woodford vive en San Francisco y es dueño de Scanguards, una empresa de seguridad y guardaespaldas que emplea tanto a vampiros como a humanos. Y, con el tiempo, también a algunas brujas. ¡Agrega unos cuantos guardianes y demonios inmortales más tarde en la serie, y ya te harás una idea! Cada libro puede leerse de manera independiente, ya que siempre se centra en una nueva pareja encontrando el amor. Sin embargo, la experiencia es mucho más enriquecedora si los lees en orden. Y, por supuesto, siempre hay algunas bromas recurrentes. Lo entenderás cuando conozcas a Wesley, un aspirante a brujo. ¡Que la disfrutes!
