Psychoanalytic Perspectives On Intense Involvement in Sports

Psychoanalytic Perspectives On Intense Involvement in Sports

This book is a unique volume that brings a variety of psychoanalytic perspectives to the study of sport. It highlights the importance of sports for different individuals and how the function and use of sports can be brought into the consulting room. Passionate interest in actively engaging in sports is a universal phenomenon. It is striking that this aspect of human life prior to this volume has received little attention in the literature of psychoanalysis. This edited volume is comprised largely of psychoanalysts who are themselves avidly involved with sports. It is suggested that intense involvement in sports prioritizes commitment and active engagement over passivity and that such involvement provides an emotionally tinged distraction from the various misfortunes of life. Indeed the ups and downs in mood related to athletic victory or defeat often supplant temporarily matters in life that may be more personally urgent. Engaging in sports or rooting for teams provides a feeling of community and a sense of identification with like-minded others even among those who are part of other communities and have sufficient communal identifications. This book offers a better psychoanalytic understanding of sports to help us discover more about ourselves our patients and our culture and will be of great interest to psychotherapists and psychoanalysts or anyone with an interest in sport and its link to psychoanalysis and mental health. | Psychoanalytic Perspectives On Intense Involvement in Sports

A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom Volume 2 From Creation to the Victory of Scientific and Literary Methods

A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom Volume 2 From Creation to the Victory of Scientific and Literary Methods

Given the powerful and forthright title of Andrew Dickson White's classic study it is best to make clear his own sense of the whole as given in the original 1896 edition: My conviction is that science though it has evidently conquered dogmatic theology based on biblical texts and ancient modes of thought will go hand in hand with religion and that although theological control will continue to diminish religion as seen in the recognition of a 'power in the universe not ourselves which makes for righteousness' and in the love of God and of our neighbor will steadily grow stronger and stronger not only in the American institutions of learning but in the world at large. White began to assemble his magnum opus a two volume work first published in 1896 as A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom. In correspondence he wrote that he intended the work to stake out a position between such religious orthodoxy as John Henry Newman's on one side and such secular scoffing as Robert Ingersoll's on the other. Historian Paul Carter declared that this book did as much as any other published work toward routing orthodoxy in the name of science. Insofar as science and religion came to be widely viewed as enemies with science holding the moral high ground White inadvertently became one of the most effective and influential advocates for unbelief. | A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom Volume 2 From Creation to the Victory of Scientific and Literary Methods

Americanness Inquiries into the Thought and Culture of the United States

Americanness Inquiries into the Thought and Culture of the United States

Americanness: Inquiries into the Thought and Culture of the United States analyzes several core themes that connect Americans because of and despite their pronounced diversity. The book investigates shared ideas and ideals such as individualism mobility materialism and future-orientation that drive an overarching American worldview. Simon J. Bronner begins with ideas of space and time as they formed and changed through the history of the United States before moving to the emergence of modern American culture. He examines reasons America is characterized as having a victory culture that extends to the American legal military and business complexes. This victory culture is further analyzed by looking at the country’s relationship with the game of football—a sport that thrives in America but has not caught on in other countries. Finally the volume probes American consumerism driven by a desire for individual prosperity in a supposedly egalitarian society. Using interdisciplinary approaches drawn from psychology sociology ethnology and history Bronner seeks explanations for people invoking and evoking ideas that they perceive as American. This book would be an invaluable addition to courses on American history sociology cultural studies and American studies. | Americanness Inquiries into the Thought and Culture of the United States

Fascism Populism and American Democracy

Fascism Populism and American Democracy

Hard right-wing politics is growing in popularity in America marked by Donald Trump’s success in the 2016 election and it is worth questioning what this means for the American democratic system. This book seeks to explain the vulnerability of democracies to the appeal of right-wing politics through a contemporary case study of the US and how democracies are possibly under threat from a conflict between popular attitudes and institutional paralysis. Various forms of American right-wing extremism are examined here such as the alt-right the radical right and the Religious right but their perceived relevance to Trump’s victory is questioned. Even still this book asks the question: can the far-right prevail under the American way? | Fascism Populism and American Democracy

The Development of British Naval Aviation utilizes archival documents and newly published research to resurrect the legacy of the RNAS and demonstrate its central role in Britain’s war effort. | The Development of British Naval Aviation 1914–1918

Rome and her Empire

Rome and her Empire

The name of Rome excites a picture of power and organisation as do the widely-spread ruins that Roman civilization left behind. Yet Rome grew out of a collection of small villages and major developments such as the growth of Empire were unplanned and completely unprepared for. Influenced by a small number of self-interested aristocrats who lacked a broader vision Rome was often threatened by their intrigues. Brought to the ground on a number of occasions its leaders were able to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. How did Rome survive for nearly 1000 years ruling over millions of people with few instances of internal rebellion? David Shotter argues that the key was the way Rome managed to adapt to new circumstances without at the same time discarding too many of its cherished traditions. | Rome and her Empire

Sadism Psychoanalytic Developmental Perspectives

Sadism Psychoanalytic Developmental Perspectives

Sadism: Psychoanalytic Developmental Perspectives is founded on the premise that paying close attention to what is happening in our internal world can help us understand the rise of sadism in the world of popular culture. Voyeuristic sadism as a form of entertainment appears to be on the rise an increase corresponding with an upsurge in public appetite for sadomasochism as a recreational activity. This book acts as a forum in which psychotherapists present psychoanalytic perspectives on the phenomenon of sadomasochism at different stages of the human lifecycle: in childhood adolescence adulthood and in later life and consider its developmental roots. Over the last half-century through books movies computerized video games and drama the stories we are being sold as representing aspects of contemporary culture market two commodities: sadism and victory. How might we understand this and can psychoanalysis help us make meaning of this aspect of human relating? | Sadism Psychoanalytic Developmental Perspectives
