Questo libro è dedicato a coloro che desiderano vivere ogni momento della propria vita con serenità e consapevolezza. La morte fa parte della vita, come l’amore, come la lotta per le cose in cui crediamo, come i sogni che abbiamo da giovani e i dubbi che abbiamo da adulti. “Imparare a morire” ci spiega come prepararci al momento della morte: per essere pronti, un giorno, a incontrarla con leggerezza e sapere, oggi, come aiutare amici e persone amate mentre la stanno affrontando.

In Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego, (1922), Sigmund Freud based his preliminary description of group psychology on Le Bon's work, but went on to develop his own, original theory, related to what he had begun to elaborate in Totem and Taboo. Theodor Adorno reprised Freud's essay in 1951 with his Freudian Theory and the Pattern of Fascist Propaganda, and said that "It is not an overstatement if we say that Freud, though he was hardly interested in the political phase of the problem, clearly foresaw the rise and nature of fascist mass movements in purely psychological categories. Group Dynamics refers to a system of behaviors and psychological processes occurring within a social group (intragroup dynamics), or between social groups (intergroup dynamics). The study of group dynamics can be useful in understanding decision-making behavior, tracking the spread of diseases in society, creating effective therapy techniques, and following the emergence and popularity of new ideas and technologies. Group dynamics are at the core of understanding racism, sexism, and other forms of social prejudice and discrimination. These applications of the field are studied in psychology, sociology, anthropology, political science, epidemiology, education, social work, business, and communication studies. Within the context of psychology, Social Psychology is the scientific study of how people's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are influenced by the actual, imagined, or implied presence of others. By this definition, scientific refers to the empirical method of investigation. The terms thoughts, feelings, and behaviors include all psychological variables that are measurable in a human being. The statement that others' presence may be imagined or implied suggests that we are prone to social influence even when no other people are present, such as when watching television, or following internalized cultural norms. Social psychologists typically explain human behavior as a result of the interaction of mental states and immediate social situations. In general, social psychologists have a preference for laboratory-based, empirical findings. Social psychology theories tend to be specific and focused, rather than global and general.Social psychologists therefore deal with the factors that lead us to behave in a given way in the presence of others, and look at the conditions under which certain behavior/actions and feelings occur. Social psychology is concerned with the way these feelings, thoughts, beliefs, intentions and goals are constructed and how such psychological factors, in turn, influence our interactions with others. Social psychology is an interdisciplinary domain that bridges the gap between psychology and sociology. During the years immediately following World War II, there was frequent collaboration between psychologists and sociologists. However, the two disciplines have become increasingly specialized and isolated from each other in recent years, with sociologists focusing on "macro variables" (e.g., social structure) to a much greater extent. Nevertheless, sociological approaches to social psychology remain an important counterpart to psychological research in this area. In addition to the split between psychology and sociology, there has been a somewhat less pronounced difference in emphasis between American social psychologists and European social psychologists. As a broad generalization, American researchers traditionally have focused more on the individual, whereas Europeans have paid more attention to group level phenomena.. About Author: Sigmund Freud (Born Sigismund Schlomo Freud; 6 May 1856 – 23 September 1939) was an Austrian neurologist who became known as the founding father of psychoanalysis. Freud qualified as a doctor of medicine at the University of Vienna in 1881, and then carried out research into cerebral palsy, aphasia and microscopic neuroanatomy at the Vienna General Hospital. He was appointed a university lecturer in neuropathology in 1885 and became a professor in 1902. In creating psychoanalysis, a clinical method for treating psychopathology through dialogue between a patient and a psychoanalyst, Freud developed therapeutic techniques such as the use of free association (in which patients report their thoughts without reservation and in whichever order they spontaneously occur) and discovered transference (the process in which patients displace on to their analysts feelings derived from their childhood attachments), establishing its central role in the analytic process. Freud’s redefinition of sexuality to include its infantile forms led him to formulate the Oedipus complex as the central tenet of psychoanalytical theory. His analysis of his own and his patients' dreams as wish-fulfillments provided him with models for the clinical analysis of symptom formation and the mechanisms of repression as well as for elaboration of his theory of the unconscious as an agency disruptive of con

Unul din patru rom?ni sufer? la un moment dat de anxietate, aceasta fiind, de altfel, cea mai frecvent? dintre tulbur?rile psihice din ?ara noastr?. Pentru cei care se confrunt? cu stresul crescut, cu ?ngrijoarea, frica sau panica, autorul ofer? o serie de sugestii pentru de a ?ine sub control anxietatea, chiar ?i f?r? ajutorul medica?iei sau psihoterapiei. Dup? ce discut? despre tiparele mentale care exacerbeaz? temerile (g?ndirea ?n "alb-sau-negru", "catastrofizarea" etc.) ?i despre simptomele somatice ale panicii, autorul propune un larg evantai de tehnici pentru gestionarea anxiet??ii: de la contestarea g?ndurile ira?ionale la medita?ia de tip "minfulness", de la modificarea rutinelor cotidiene de somn ?i alimenta?ie, la exerci?iile fizice ?i de relaxare (imagerie), de la reorganizarea mediului la expunerea treptat? la evenimentele ?nfrico??toare. Cartea se adreseaz? publicului larg, dar e un instrument util ?i pentru psihiatri, psihologi clinicieni ?i psihoterapeu?i.

Iubim, ur?m, invidiem, ne dorim ?i sper?m... ne construim scenarii ?n care credem ?i pe care le perpetu?m, ?n care ?i angren?m pe ceilal?i, atribuindu-le roluri mai mult sau mai pu?in importante. Ne l?s?m, la r?ndul nostru, sedu?i ?n pove?tile altora. S? fie acestea "deliruri", ?es?turi psihice, care printr-o analiz? minu?ioas? se pot destr?ma? Atunci, ce se afl? la baza lor ?i cum ni le putem asuma, pentru a ?ntrez?ri ?i, ?n cele din urm?, a locui realitatea obiectiv??Purt?nd cititorul prin lumea interioar? a personajelor unor autori precum Shakespeare, Samuel Butler sau Dickens, c?t ?i prin aceea a propriilor pacien?i, Shengold ilustreaz? felul ?n care aceste deliruri iau na?tere ?n copil?ria timpurie, se men?in s?r?cindu-ne ?i rigidiz?ndu-ne via?a ?i pot fi estompate printr-o maturizare real?, adesea rod al travaliului psihanalitic.

Copiii, aceste ?nc?nt?toare fiin?e, fragile ?i uneori problematice, surs? de bucurie dar ?i de nesomn, ?ngrijor?ri, epuizare... S?-i disciplinezi, dar cum? S-au dus vremurile ?n care p?rintele atotputernic tuna ?i fulgera ?mp?r?ind pedepse, iar libertatea total? oferit? copiilor s-a dovedit, de asemenea, periculoas?. Exist?, ?ns?, o cale de mijloc, iar aceasta este metoda Brazelton.Scris? cu empatie ?i c?ldur? C?l?toria copilului t?u spre autodisciplin? ofer? repere specifice fiec?rui ?punct de cotitur?" din via?a celui mic precum ?i instrumentele necesare gestion?rii unor situa?ii nedorite precum agresivitatea, minciuna, limbajul licen?ios, crizele de furie, fuga de acas?, rivalitatea ?ntre fra?i, lupta pentru putere etc. Este un ghid necesar pentru p?rintele implicat, care dore?te nu doar s? rezolve problema de moment, ci ?i s?-?i doteze copilul cu resursele necesare unei vie?i ?mplinite.

Alina se afl? ?n al treilea an al terapiei personale. Ea ??i autoexamineaz? istoria rela?iilor de iubire: iubirile ei de copil, de adolescent?, iubirile de t?n?r? adult?. Este o istorie pe care o are ?nscris? ?n psihic ?i ?n corp. Analizanda se uit? la aceast? istorie ?i ?ncearc? s? o accepte a?a cum este ea; ?i, pentru c? se dovede?te greu de acceptat, de ?ndurat cu traumele ?i ne?mplinirile ei, aceast? istorie se cere rescris?. Din subiectul pasiv al propriilor scenarii de via??, al influen?elor puternice venite dinspre proprii p?rin?i, ea ?ncearc? ?i reu?e?te, ?n mare m?sur?, s? ??i rescrie istoria emo?ional?, s? ?i caute ?i s? ?i g?seasc? un sens personal, autentic. Din obiect al propriului trecut ?i al priva?iunilor impuse de el, Alina devine, ?ncet-?ncet, subiectul acestora.Procesul terapeutic prin care trece Alina, protagonista c?r?ii, ?n ?nt?lnirea cu psihoterapeutul — Pavel — este un proces fictiv, ?ns? povestea lui nu este mai pu?in realist?. A?a cum, ?n teatru, via?a este prezentat? p?n? la cap?t, ?i aici, dar ?ntr-o form? concentrat?, este prezentat? via?a unei rela?ii terapeutice de lung? durat? cu atmosfera, ritmul, nuan?ele ?i tensiunile ei.?

Cum po?i s?-i spui "nu" ?efului t?u c?nd ??i cere imposibilul? ?n ce fel te impui acas?, ?n fa?a partenerului sau a copiilor rebeli? Cum s? ceri aten?ia cuvenit? din partea medicului sau v?nz?torului care te ignor?? Dac? dore?ti ca vocea ta s? fie ascultat?, nu e cazul s? devii agresiv sau amenin??tor, sus?in autorii acestei c?r?i. Din contr?, asertivitatea ?nseamn? s? ar??i c? e?ti ?n stare s?-l ascul?i pe cel?lalt ?i s?-i ?n?elegi punctul de vedere. Dar mai presupune ?i s?-?i cuno?ti punctele forte, s? fii mai realist ?i mai flexibil ?n g?ndire (pentru a negocia solu?ii "reciproc avantajoase"), precum ?i s? ?tii cum s? transmi?i, prin limbajul corporal, fermitate ?i ?ncredere de sine. Pornind de la scenarii concrete, de la serviciu sau din via?a familial? ?i social?, autorii ofer? acele instrumente prin care vei putea s?-?i iei via?a ?n m?ini, p?str?nd totodat? o rela?ie armonioas? cu cei din jur.

Ce este copilul? Copilaria ar trebui considerata a fi un construct social? Care au fost atitudinile adultilor fata de copiii de-a lungul timpului? Pe parcursul cartii descoperim copilul privit a fi un pacatos augustinian, care vrea sa-i domine pe cei din jur, un inocent romantic care inca nu este corupt de civilizatie sau o doar o dovada a fertilitatii cuplului parental, aruncat in bratele doicilor indata ce a venit pe lume. In occident, incepand cu secolul douazeci copiii nu mai erau expusi mortii, abandonului sau batailor in aceeasi masura ca in trecut, iar relatiile dintre parinti si copii s-au indulcit. Scopul cartii de fata este acela de a evidentia problemele speciale din istoria copiilor, pe care o plaseaza in contextul social si ?cultural, fara a pierde din vedere experientele individuale care au ajuns pana la noi prin jurnale, autobiografii si marturii orale. Scrisa intr-un limbaj accesibil, cartea se adreseaza psihologilor, sociologilor, istoricilor si tuturor celor interesati de copii si copilarie. ?

Cartea prezint? destinele a trei personaje Alfredo, Andrea ?i Fabio. ?Am f?cut-o pentru binele t?u!“, ?Am f?cut-o pentru binele lui!“, formule care se reg?sesc ?n titlul c?r?ii, sunt folosite des ?n via?a real?, ?ns? ascund de multe ori atitudini si fapte reprobabile – minciun?, arogan??, egoism sau am?gire. Acestea sunt ?micile crime“ s?v?r?ite ?n numele iubirii, pe care le red? Gianna Schelotto. Alfredo, protagonistul primei pove?ti, afl? c? a fost adoptat c?nd avea trei ani, dup? ce el ?i fratele lui fuseser? abandona?i de mama lor. Andrea, personajul central din cea de-a doua poveste, este pus de tat?l s?u ?n fa?a unei realit??i nepl?cute. ?n ultima poveste, Fabio, un avocat influent, de aproape ?aizeci de ani, se confrunt? cu perspectiva inevitabilei sale dec?deri dup? ce afl? c? ar putea suferi de Alzheimer. Unii gre?esc prin faptul c? dezv?luie, al?ii gre?esc prin faptul c? ascund: s?ar zice c? situa?ia e f?r? ie?ire. Dar nu faptele individuale sunt cele care produc daune ; ceea ce risc? s? creeze fracturi profunde este ideea c?, de fapt, copiii sunt un fel de prelungire a noastr?, o proprietate exclusiv? de care putem dispune oricum. Orice fapt?, declarat? sau ascuns?, prin care ?ncerc?m s? determin?m persoanele s???i schimbe idei, aspira?ii ?i sentimente este o manipulare, chiar dac? se na?te din dorin?a sincer? de a aduce beneficii s?n?t??ii celuilalt sau de a?i sus?ine bun?starea. ?n rela?iile ?s?n?toase“, schimb?rile ?i dezvoltarea au loc nu fiindc? cel puternic a reu?it s??l conving? pe cel slab, ci numai pentru c? ne?am transformat lu?nd de la cel?lalt ?i d?nd de la sine, ?n mod spontan, experien?e, emo?ii, vise.

Cum definim ?i cum trat?m tulburarea de reglare emo?ional? Emo?iile sunt o parte important? a vie?ii noastre, afect?ndu-ne major ac?iunile, de?i nu ?ntotdeauna suntem con?tien?i de prezen?a lor. Abilitatea de a ?n?elege ?i balansa emo?iile se nume?te reglare emo?ional? sau control emo?ional. De ce este important? reglarea emo?ional?? Pentru c? reprezint? un element esen?ial pe care se sprijin? civiliza?ia uman?. Interac?iunile dintre oameni depind de modul ?n care sim?im ?i ne exprim?m emo?iile. Conceptul de ?tulburare de reglare emo?ional?“ intervine atunci c?nd apar probleme ?n privin?a controlului emo?iilor. De cele mai multe ori, o persoan? care are astfel de probleme ??i va descrie st?rile aleg?nd etichete precum depresiv, anxios, nervos, sup?rat, agitat. Mult mai rar va apela la nararea autentic? a tr?irilor personale, declar?nd c? este instabil, impulsiv, emo?ional, necontrolat, incapabil de a se calma, u?or de frustrat etc. Cartea lui Radu Vrasti prezint? ?ntr-o form? succint? problema tulbur?rii de reglare emo?ional?, a?a cum se prezint? din perspectiva medicinei ?i a psihologiei clinice. ?n plus, aduce informa?ii de ultim? or? despre cum trebuie ?n?eleas?, definit?, diagnosticat? ?i ?tratat?“ at?t medicamentos c?t ?i psihoterapeutic.

THE MAN WHO "THOUGHT" HIS WAY INTO PARTNERSHIP WITH THOMAS A. EDISON ??TRULY, "thoughts are things," and powerful things at that, when they are mixed with de?niteness of purpose, persistence, and a BURNING DESIRE for their translation into riches, or other material objects. ??A little more than thirty years ago, Edwin C. Barnes discovered how true it is that men really do THINK AND GROW RICH. His discovery did not come about at one sitting. It came little by little, beginning with a BURNING DESIRE to become a business associate of the great Edison. ??Somewhere, as you read, the secret to which I refer will jump from the page and stand boldly before you, IF YOU ARE READY FOR IT! When it appears, you will recognize it. Whether you receive the sign in the ?rst or the last chapter, stop for a moment when it presents itself, and turn down a glass, for that occasion will mark the most important turning-point of your life. ??Remember, too, as you go through the book, that it deals with facts and not with ?ction, its purpose being to convey a great universal truth through which all who are READY may learn, not only WHAT TO DO, BUT ALSO HOW TO DO IT! and receive, as well, THE NEEDED STIMULUS TO MAKE A START. ??IN EVERY chapter of this book, mention has been made of the money-making secret which has made fortunes for more than ?ve hundred exceedingly wealthy men whom I have carefully analyzed over a long period of years. ??The secret was brought to my attention by Andrew Carnegie, more than a quarter of a century ago. The canny, lovable old Scotsman carelessly tossed it into my mind, when I was but a boy. Then he sat back in his chair, with a merry twinkle in his eyes, and watched carefully to see if I had brains enough to understand the full signi?cance of what he had said to me. ??When he saw that I had grasped the idea, he asked if I would be willing to spend twenty years or more, preparing myself to take it to the world, to men and women who, without the secret, might go through life as failures. I said I would, and with Mr. Carnegie’s cooperation, I have kept my promise. ??This book contains the secret, after having been put to a practical test by thou-sands of people, in almost every walk of life. It was Mr. Carnegie’s idea that the magic formula, which gave him a stupendous fortune, ought to be placed within reach of people who do not have time to investigate how men make money, and it was his hope that I might test and demonstrate the soundness of the formula through the experience of men and women in every calling.
