On Freud's The Unconscious

On Freud's The Unconscious

If there ever was one word that could represent the essence of Freud's work that word would be 'unconscious'. Indeed Freud himself regarded his 1915 paper 'The Unconscious' as central to clarifying the fundamentals of his metapsychology. The paper delineates the topographic model of the mind and spells out the concepts of primary and secondary process thinking thing and word presentations timelessness of the unconscious condensation and symbolism unconscious problem solving and the relationship between the system Ucs and repression. Examining these proposals in the light of contemporary psychoanalytic theory as well as from the perspective of current neurophysiology and ethology nine distinguished analysts take Freud's ideas further in ways that have implications for both psychoanalytic theory and practice. | On Freud's The Unconscious

Conversations on Empathy Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Imagination and Radical Othering

In the aftermath of a global pandemic amidst new and ongoing wars genocide inequality and staggering ecological collapse some in the public and political arena have argued that we are in desperate need of greater empathy — be this with our neighbours refugees war victims the vulnerable or disappearing animal and plant species. This interdisciplinary volume asks the crucial questions: How does a better understanding of empathy contribute if at all to our understanding of others? How is it implicated in the ways we perceive understand and constitute others as subjects? Conversations on Empathy examines how empathy might be enacted and experienced either as a way to highlight forms of otherness or instead to overcome what might otherwise appear to be irreducible differences. It explores the ways in which empathy enables us to understand imagine and create sameness and otherness in our everyday intersubjective encounters focusing on a varied range of radical others – others who are perceived as being dramatically different from oneself. With a focus on the importance of empathy to understand difference the book contends that the role of empathy is critical now more than ever for thinking about local and global challenges of interconnectedness care and justice. | Conversations on Empathy Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Imagination and Radical Othering

Handbook of Research on Waldorf Education

Handbook of Research on Waldorf Education

Waldorf Education: An all-round balanced approach to education that is equally concerned with intellectual-cognitive and artistic-creative learning. A practice- and experience-based pedagogy. Non-selective and open to all children and young people; offering a stress-free secure learning environment across 12 grades; embedded in a community of students teachers and parents. An alternative education that has been successfully practiced for over a century. The first Waldorf School was founded in Stuttgart Germany in 1919. Today Waldorf Education is practiced in all countries and cultures around the world: in over 1 000 schools more than 2 000 kindergartens and numerous centers for special needs education. This makes Waldorf Education the most prevalent alternative approach to teaching. And yet despite the success and (now empirically validated) recognition that Waldorf schools enjoy the theory underlying them remains controversial. Within the academic debate Waldorf Education is seen as ideologic and unscientific. This publication sets out to bring clarity to this debate: Renowned researchers explain and discuss Waldorf Education’s foundations in relation to the current discourse on education and core disciplines such as theory of knowledge anthropology developmental psychology learning theory and the theory of professions. This scientific inquiry into Waldorf Education is breaking new ground casting light on its fascinating humanistic ideal and holistic potential. | Handbook of Research on Waldorf Education

On Understanding Emotion

On Understanding Emotion

Emotions-fleeting insubstantial changeable and ambiguous-seem to defy study and analysis. Nothing is more complex mysterious and subject to conflicting theories and interpretations than human emotion. Yet the central importance of emotion in human affairs is undeniable. Emotions affect all levels of life-personal organizational political cultural economic and religious. Emotions give meaning to life. Emotional disturbances can destroy that meaning. How should emotions be studied? How can an understanding of the inner feelings of individuals illuminate important social interactions and human developments? In his book Norman Denzin presents a systematic in-depth analysis of emotion that combines new theoretical advances with practical applications. Based on an intensive critical examination of classical and modern theoretical research-and on revealing personal interviews in which ordinary people express their emotional lives-he builds a new framework for understanding ordinary emotions and emotional disturbances. Denzin analyzes how people experience joy and pain love and hate anger and despair friendship and alienation-and examines the personal psychological social and cultural aspects of human emotion to provide new perspectives for understanding human experience and social interactions. He offers new insights on the role of emotions in family violence and recommends ways of helping people escape from recurring patterns of violence. And in criticizing current conceptions of emotionally disturbed people he reveals the nature of their inner lives and the ways they perceive and relate to others. In sum this book presents new insights on human relationships and human experience. It is now available in paperback for the first time with a new introduction by the author. | On Understanding Emotion

On Education

On Education

Jane Addams the founder of Hull House in Chicago may be best known as a social activist. She was also a brilliantly critical intellectual. Implicit in her many speeches articles and books is a view of education as a broad process of cultural transformation and renewal a view that remains as compelling today as when it was first presented. Addams sees education as the foundation of democracy the basis for the free expression of ideas. Addams's writings on education are interpreted in an enlightening bio-graphical introduction by Ellen Lagemann. After the initial publication of this work Barbara L. Jacquette of the Delta Group Inc. in Phoenix wrote Professor Lagemann has brought life and immediacy to Jane Addams's work. Better she has given us a context that shows us that some of our most pressing issues today are simply old problems in new guises problems for which some of the old solutions may still be of use. Gerald Lee Gutek of Loyola University of Chicago commented Lagemann's insightful and sensitive biography reveals Addams's transformation from a reserved graduate of a small women's college into the Progressive reformer and pioneer of the settlement house movement. The essays collected here span a significant portion of Jane Addams's life from the time she spent in college to her founding of Hull House and beyond. Addams's constant interest in education is reflected in her writings. This book also reveals the many influences on Addams's life including the philosopher and educator John Dewey. On Education is an important work for educators women's studies specialists social workers and historians.

Unknowing the ‘War on Terror’ The Pleasures of Risk

Unknowing the ‘War on Terror’ The Pleasures of Risk

This book offers new insights into the excesses and uncanniness of the ‘War on Terror’ via an engagement with the pleasures of risk. Engaging with the unconscious the excess the uncanny and the spectacular dimensions of the ‘War on Terror’ – as made evident for example in the 2012 London Olympic Games and the 2013 manhunt for the Boston Marathon bombers – leads this book to probe the so-called order of things that has made this war intelligible in both mainstream and critical approaches to Security Studies and International Relations. Specifically this book brings to light and theorizes the obscene pleasures of the ‘War on Terror’ and its supplementary precautionary risk logic. Coming to grips with this (i. e. the pleasures of risk) ultimately via an engagement with critical psychoanalytic theory leads this book to argue that we may be other than we think we are within critical International Relations (IR) traditions. Furthermore albeit without discounting the madness if not desolation of the present (extending from the ‘War on Terror’ to the politics of Brexit and Donald Trump) it suggests there may be some relief in that yet. This book will be of much interest to students of critical terrorism studies critical security studies political theory and International Relations broadly. | Unknowing the ‘War on Terror’ The Pleasures of Risk

Handbook of Research on Emotional and Behavioral Disorders Interdisciplinary Developmental Perspectives on Children and Youth

Handbook of Research on Emotional and Behavioral Disorders Interdisciplinary Developmental Perspectives on Children and Youth

The Handbook of Research on Emotional and Behavioral Disorders explores the factors necessary for successful implementation of interventions that foster productive relationships and ecologies to establish reinforce and sustain adaptive patterns of emotional and behavioral functioning across childhood and into adulthood. Although there has been a concerted focus on developing evidence-based programs and practices to support the needs of children and youth with emotional and behavioral disorders there has been less emphasis on the developmental social and environmental factors that impact the implementation and effectiveness of these approaches. Chapters from leading experts tackle this complexity by drawing on a range of disciplines and perspectives including special education; mental health services; school clinical and community psychology; social work; developmental psychology and psychopathology; and prevention science. An essential resource for scholars and students interested in emotional and behavioral disorders this volume crafts an essential framework to promote developmentally meaningful strategies for children and youth with even the most adverse experiences and intensive support needs. | Handbook of Research on Emotional and Behavioral Disorders Interdisciplinary Developmental Perspectives on Children and Youth

Immigrants on the Threshold

Immigrants on the Threshold

This first large-scale empirical work on the adjustment problems of immigrants in Israel is now updated with a new introduction by the author and a preface by Alex Weingrod. The extraordinary phenomenon of worldwide immigration to Israel has made this searching study of people in transit possible. Immigrants on the Threshold reports on the attitudes and behaviors of almost 2 000 people from twenty countries during their first year in Israel during the early years of mass migration. It is of particular interest as the phenomenon of integration becomes an issue for concern in many other parts of the world. Immigrants on the Threshold by Judith Shuval presents a theoretical framework closely intermeshed with rich empirical findings. No other work in this field approaches this study in either depth of theoretical analysis or in design and execution of data collection performed by conducting in-depth interviews and then using statistical analysis to quantify results in exacting and objective detail. It attempts to answer a number of critical questions: What factors in the immigrants' past and present condition their responses to the strain of transit? What is the role of commitment to the goal of the new society into which they must incorporate? What is the role of different social and economic backgrounds in determining patterns of acculturation? What factors affect the aspirations and mobility patterns of immigrants? The answers to these questions - the hypotheses formulated and the conclusions reached in Immigrants on the Threshold - contribute substantially to the fields of both sociology and social psychology. These answers and the methods used to reach them should be of interest to anyone in these fields and the field of applied social research as well as those interested in Israel and questions of immigrant integration.

On Substantive Decriminalization

On Substantive Decriminalization

Based on both judicial practice and legal theory this book examines the phenomenon of low acquittal rates in China from the perspective of substantive law and formulates the theory of substantive decriminalization. In response to this pressing phenomenon the author critically examines the prevailing tendency in the circle of criminal theory in China which emphasizes criminalization over decriminalization and harm outcomes over behavioral process. The book attempts to think outside the box of procedural law an approach that has yielded fruitful results but is limited in understanding decriminalization. Instead it emphasizes the principle of substantive law grounded in the modesty and restraint of criminal law and the protection of human rights. From the perspective of criminal class theory and criminal policy the book proposes the theoretical framework of substantive decriminalization which provides insight into the whole picture of the decriminalization mechanism of China’s civil law and also has great practical relevance to China’s criminal justice. The title will be an important reference for scholars students and legal professionals interested in the issue of decriminalization legal theory and Chinese criminal law. | On Substantive Decriminalization

Pierre Teilhard De Chardin on People and Planet

Pierre Teilhard De Chardin on People and Planet

Humanity's relationship to nature is central to the work of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin an influential priest and scientist of the twentieth century. Teilhard believed that spiritual development must be viewed alongside material development and that evolutionary theory lies at the heart of humanity's understanding of its place in the world. 'Pierre Teilhard de Chardin on People and Planet' argues that Teilhard's cosmic mysticism and intense interest in both cosmological and evolutionary sciences are highly relevant to current debates about how best to construct a meaningful spirituality. The book offers a critical revision of Teilhard's thought in the light of current debates in evolutionary science eco-theology and environmental ethics. The essays present fresh interpretations of Teilhard's work and point to the significance of his thought in the contemporary study of science and religion.
