The Restoration of the Self


Heinz Kohut - 1973

Using clinical data, Kohut explores issues such as the role of narcissism in personality, when a patient can be considered cured, and the oversimplifications and social biases that unduly influenced Freudian thought. This volume puts forth some of Kohut’s most influential ideas on achieving emotional health through a balanced, creative, and joyful sense of self. "Kohut speaks clearly from his identity as a psychoanalyst-healer, showing that he is more of a psychoanalyst than most, and yet calling for major theoretical revisions including a redefinition of the essence of psychoanalysis.”

Trobe M.D.) takes us on a journey of self-discovery, self-love and healing. The approach and the message is simple. Through acceptance, understanding and compassion, we can uncover and heal the deepest wounds of our soul. This book is designed for anyone who longs to heal and to experience love. Do we ever ask ourselves what causes us so much anxiety? Why do we suffer when we don't get the love we want and need? What is the source of our fear and insecurities and how can we heal them? These are the questions that the author addresses in this book. Hiding behind our protections, denial and addictive behaviors, is a profoundly panicked and wounded part of us. Until we make friends with this frightened child inside, our life can never be a joyful and loving experience and we live in a state of co-dependency either in conflict, disappointment or in isolation. But when we open to our wounded vulnerability and heal it, we bring love and fulfillment into our lives. This book describes this healing journey. It is easy to read and full of personal examples which helps us to realize that we are all in the same boat - a boat of healing our wounds so that we can enjoy life as we are meant to enjoy it.

In 5/56, in his 81st year, Jung first discussed publishing his letters with Gerhard Adler.

Many of his letters contain creative ideas, providing a running commentary on his work.

Among the Dervishes

From there he takes the reader to monasteries where ancient lore is still taught, along the pilgrim road to forbidden Mecca and into the heart and mind of Asia. Burke's experiences with living Sufis and their teachings, practices and actions clearly dispel the notion of Sufism as a phenomenon of the past. Speaking several Oriental languages, traveling as a dervish pilgrim, O. M. Burke lived and studied with ancient communities in the Near and Middle East. This first-hand report is no ordinary book of travel.

Aggression: A Social Learning Analysis


Albert Bandura - 1973
    Theories of human behavior have changed over the years, as interest in approaches that depict behavior as instinctively determined or impelled by drive forces have declined as deficiencies became apparent. Perspectives based on social learning have emerged that increase our understanding of human behavior. In this book, the author has attempted to formulate a social learning theory of aggression, whether individual or collective, personal or institutional sanctioned. The goal is to improve the basis on which we explain, predict, and modify aggression. A sizable portion of this book is devoted to demonstrating how social learning principles can be applied individually and at the social systems level to reduce deleterious forms of aggression. The use of social power as an instrument of change is also addressed. There is a discussion of social labeling and ethics of aggressive action.

War And Children


Anna Freud - 1973
    The following is a letter included in the book, and the closest thing to a synopsis I could find. "The Foster Parents' Plan for War Children has been working with children since 1936 when Spain's children were subjected to bombardments. Later we worked in France caring for French, Polish, Dutch and Belgian children. When France fell we took up our work in England. More than 20,000 cases of children have been studied by our staff members since our work began ; at no time have we had any work to compare with the book, War and Children By Anna Freud and Dorothy Burlingham. Miss Freud and Mrs. Burlingham direct three wartime nurseries in England for the Foster Parents' Plan. The material for the book was gathered at the nurseries, which are maintained by voluntary contributions from America. War and Children is an outstanding contribution in the field of psychology and is as valuable to those working with children on the home front as it is to those working with children in actual bombed areas. It is a record of children in modern war told honestly and completely, by two of the world's outstanding child psychologists."EDNA BLUE, Executive-Chairman Foster Parents' Plan for War Children, Inc.

Soul Murder: Persecution in the Family


Morton Schatzman - 1973
    It is uncertain if he was ever fully sane, in the ordinary social sense, again. His father, Daniel Gottlieb Moritz Schreber (1808-1861), who supervised his son’s upbringing, was a leading German physician and pedagogue, whose writings on child-rearing techniques influenced these practices during his life and after his death. The father thought his age to be morally ‘soft’ and ‘decayed’ owing mainly to laxity in educating and disciplining children at home and at school. He proposed to ‘battle’ the ‘weakness’ of his era with an elaborate system aimed at making children obedient and subject to adults. He expected that his precepts, if followed, would lead to a better society and ‘race’. The father applied these same basic principles in raising his own children, including Daniel Paul and another son, Daniel Gustav, the elder who also went mad and committed suicide in his thirties. Psychiatrists and psychoanalysts consider the case of the former, Daniel Paul, a classic model of paranoia and schizophrenia, but Freud and Bleuler in their analyses of the son’s illness failed to link the strange experiences of Daniel Paul, for which he was thought mad, to his father’s child-rearing practices.Soul Murder: Persecution in the Family connects the father’s methods with the elements of the son’s experience, and vice versa. It gives a detailed analysis and a comparison of Daniel Paul’s Memoirs of My Nervous Illness, an account written during his second long confinement, with his father’s published writings on child-rearing. The findings touch on many domains: education, psychiatry, psychoanalysis, psychology, religion, sociology, and politics - the micro-politics of child-rearing and family life and their relation to the macro-politics of larger human groups.

Symbolic Economies


Jean-Joseph Goux - 1973
    Symbolic Economies makes available for the first time in English generous selections from Goux's Freud, Marx: Economie et symbolique (1973) and Les iconoclastes (1978). Goux brings the theories of historical materialism and of psychoanalysis into play to illuminate and enrich each other, and undertakes a compelling integration of the contributions of structuralism and post-structuralism. Looking closely at the work of such major figures as Lacan, Derrida, and Nietzsche, Goux extends the implications of Marxism and Freudianism to an interdisciplinary semiotics of value and proposes a radical concept of exchange. Literary theorists, philosophers, social scientists, cultural historians, and feminist critics alike will welcome this important and provocative work.

Knowing Woman


Irene Claremont de Castillejo - 1973
    Characteristic of feminine consciousness, she writes, is diffuse awareness, which recognizes the unity of all life and promotes acceptance and relationship.

Concerned with the experience of women in a culture dominated by masculine values, the author discusses topics such as the animus (the masculine "soul image" in a woman's unconscious); women's roles in relation to work, friends, children, and lovers; and issues such as abortion, aging, and self-determination.

Clinical Studies in Psychiatry


Harry Stack Sullivan - 1973
    There were over a million words in these 246 lecture-discussions, given over the period from October 1942 to April 1946. Only about 130,000 words have been included in this book, mostly material contained in lectures given between April and November 1943. The first 49 lectures cover, in general, the developmental approach to mental disorder and the psychiatric interview. The lectures from 100 through 246 include many brilliant discussions of particular problems in therapy, often growing out of actual clinical problems presented by the group. Within the main block of lectures making up this book—50 through 99—the major omissions have been part of the discussion of hysteria and the lectures on psychosomatic disorders.
