This book contains a selection of articles and pamphlets on analytical psychology written at intervals during the past fourteen years. These years have seen the development of a new discipline, and as is usual in such a case, have involved many changes of view-point, of concept, and of formulation.??It is not my intention to give a presentation of the fundamental concepts of analytical psychology in this book; it throws some light, however, on a certain line of development which is especially characteristic of the Zürich School of psychoanalysis.??As is well known, the merit of the discovery of the new analytical method of general psychology belongs to Professor Freud of Vienna. His original view-points had to undergo many essential modifications, some of them owing to the work done at Zürich, in spite of the fact that he himself is far from agreeing with the standpoint of this school.??I am unable to explain fully the fundamental differences between the two schools, but would indicate the following points: The Vienna School takes the standpoint of an exclusive sexualistic conception, while that of the Zürich School is symbolistic. The Vienna School interprets the psychological symbol semiotically, as a sign or token of certain primitive psychosexual processes. Its method is analytical and causal.??The Zurich School recognises the scientific feasibility of such a conception, but denies its exclusive validity, for it does not interpret the psychological symbol semiotically only, but also symbolistically, that is, it attributes a positive value to the symbol.??The value does not depend merely on historical causes; its chief importance lies in the fact that it has a meaning for the actual present, and for the future, in their psychological aspects. For to the Zürich School the symbol is not merely a sign of something repressed and concealed, but is at the same time an attempt to comprehend and to point out the way of the further psychological development of the individual. Thus we add a prospective import to the retrospective value of the symbol.??The method of the Zurich School is therefore not only analytical and causal, but also synthetic and prospective, in recognition that the human mind is characterised by "caus?" and also by "fines" (aims). The latter fact needs particular emphasis, because there are two types of psychology, the one following the principle of hedonism, and the other following the principle of power. Scientific materialism is pertinent to the former type, and the philosophy of Nietzsche to the latter. The principle of the Freudian theory is hedonism, while that of Adler (one of Freud's earliest personal pupils) is founded upon the principle of power.??The Zurich School, recognising the existence of these two types (also remarked by the late Professor William James), considers that the views of Freud and Adler are one-sided, and only valid within the limits of their corresponding type.??Freud and Adler interpret in the analytical and causal way, reducing to the infantile and primitive. Thus with Freud the conception of the "aim" is the fulfilment of desire, with Adler it is the usurpation of power. Both authors take the standpoint in their practical analytical work which brings to view only infantile and gross egoistic aims.??The Zurich School is convinced of the fact that within the limits of a diseased mental attitude the psychology is such as Freud and Adler describe. It is, indeed, just on account of such impossible and childish psychology that the individual is in a state of inward dissociation and hence neurotic. The Zürich School, therefore, in agreement with them so far, also reduces the psychological symbol (the phantasy products of the patient) to the fundamental infantile hedonism, or to the infantile desire for power. But Freud and Adler content themselves with the result of mere reduction, according to their scientific biologism and naturalism.

The following pages contain certain rules and suggestions concerning health, and certain simple and sensible ways in which it may, we hope, be acquired and maintained at a very small expense of time and self-denial, by a large number of people who are naturally accustomed to feel not very well. The book is founded on notes made by its two authors who, though they lead for the most part very different lives, are agreed on certain broad principles of health herein set forth. ??One of them, for instance, eats largely of flesh-foods every day, the other has scarcely touched meat for years. But both are accustomed to feel extremely well and to undertake considerable exertion either of mind or body without experiencing any fatigue. One of them takes regular exercise, that is to say he plays an out-door game on most days of his life, while the other who abstains from flesh-foods has little practice of the sort. He will take no out-of-door exercise for several days, work very hard, and find himself perfectly fit for some severe physical test at the end. But they are both agreed that if the one abandoned flesh-foods (which he does not propose to do) he would cease to require regular exercise, and that if the other took flesh-foods (which he does not propose to do) he would not only be very ill, but would also require regular exercise. ??One again is seldom seen without some appliance of tobacco in his mouth, because he finds it agreeable and after an experiment of abstinence from it found that it did not make any difference, as far as he could make out, in his general health. The other never smokes at all. One again takes a cold bath in the morning, the other a hot one followed by cold sponging.??But both are absolutely in accord on far more main points than those on which their practice, at any rate, differs, and they have found it perfectly easy to write this book together without wrangling, on which account they wish to express a pious hope that the very fact that they differ in so many things may have saved them from dogmatism. For it has helped them to realize that even when they are agreed on any point it would be a sheer stupidity to hint that they were therefore right, and in consequence they only put forward the points on which they are agreed as suggestions, hoping that others after trial may also agree with them. ??For universal laws on an empirical matter like health are rare, and the constitutions of men are various. One man’s meat, in fact, is literally another man’s poison. But in the main the two authors are agreed. They believe that the majority of mankind habitually eat too much and habitually take too much stimulating food and drink. They believe also that most people who do so do not take enough exercise, and that either an increase of exercise or a decrease of stimulant is needed. ??They believe that the best sorts of exercise are not those of slow pushing movements such as are made in the use of dumb-bells, but full brisk extended movements, with much use of the breathing apparatus and the large muscle areas of the body. Similarly they are in accord as regards present systems of training which tend to treat an entire crew or team as if they were identical specimens, not as widely different specimens; in every day life also they hold that because a certain mode of diet and work suits A, it will not necessarily suit B and C, though B and C might do worse than try it.

B?rbatul care caut? s?-?i reg?seasc? mama ?n partenerele sale este etichetat imediat drept ?b?ie?elul mamei“. Iar despre femeia care prefer? s? umble doar cu b?rba?i mult mai ?n v?rst? se spune c? n-a reu?it s? se ?desprind? de tat?l ei“. De?i, ini?ial, complexele materne ?i paterne se dezvolt? ca un r?spuns pozitiv ?n rela?ia cu p?rin?ii, aceste leg?turi extrem de str?nse pot deveni un obstacol pentru maturizarea psihic?, mai precis pentru felul ?n care ne construim o imagine de sine, pentru rela?iile de cuplu, dar ?i pentru eficien?a ?n profesie.Format? ?n psihologie analitic?, Verena Kast descrie c?ile prin care ne putem elibera de impactul negativ al acestor complexe (materne ?i paterne), rec??tig?ndu-ne autonomia, fericirea ?i bucuria intimit??ii al?turi de cei dragi.Meritul c?r?ii este c? ofer? o descriere sistematic? a complexelor parentale (discutate ini?ial de Jung) ?i c?, spre deosebire de conota?iile patriarhale freudiene, revalorizeaz? complexul matern, asociat ?n prip? exclusiv cu o semnifica?ie negativ?.Desprinderea la timp de complexele personale materne ?i paterne este esen?ial?. Multe probleme din domeniul rela?iilor personale, dar ?i din acela al zonei politice ?in de faptul c? desprinderile necesare nu s au produs. Scopul procesului de desprindere ar fi s? ?nv???m s? sim?im propriile noastre afirma?ii —?n loc de afirma?iile mamei ?i ale tat?lui —, propriile noastre sentimente fa?? de o anumit? situa?ie, ?n locul sentimentelor care deriv? din complexe.No?iunea de ?complex“ este fundamental? ?n psihologia jungian?. Nu e de mirare c? ?n descrierea analizan?ilor revin necontenit observa?ii precum: ?El are un complex matern pozitiv“. Sau: ?Ea are un complex patern extrem de dominant“. La astfel de complexe se refer? mereu psihologia jungian?, descriind cazuri individuale sau ?ncreng?turi de cazuri; complexele materne ?i paterne ?ns? nu au fost ?nc?, dup? ?tiin?a mea, prezentate ?ntr o perspectiv? de ansamblu.

David Ames Wells (1828-1898), a prominent American financial economist, political activist and apostle of laissez faire, was a staunch advocate of free trade and the abolition of the tariff. "Wells wrote a large number of books, pamphlets, and articles ...His chief interests were the tariff, the theory of money and the currency question, and taxation. His discussion of all of these took character from his inspection of American economic life, which was marked in his period by progressive lowering of costs of production through the application of science.He, more than others, was the expositor of the nature and consequences of the 'machine age' ... Some of his most effective writing was in opposition to fiat money or depreciated monetary standards.An excellent example of his work in this field is his "ROBINSON CRUSOE'S MONEY", issued first in 1876 when resumption was in doubt, and again in 1896 when the 'free silver' advocacy was in full swing. Wells was among the earliest to appreciate the importance of what has since been known as 'technological unemployment,' the displacing of men by machines ...His writing and speaking was marked by simplicity, candor, and extraordinary facility in the popular adaptation of statistics. His aptness in illustration was as charming as it was effective ..."

It is an acknowledged fact that we perceive errors in the work of others more readily than in our own.?—Leonardo da Vinci??In this Beginner's Psychology I have tried to write, as nearly as might be, the kind of book that I should have found useful when I was beginning my own study of psychology. That was nearly thirty years ago; and I read Bain, and the Mills, and Spencer, and Rabier, and as much of Wundt as a struggling acquaintance with German would allow. Curiously enough, it was a paragraph in James Mill, most unpsychological of psychologists, that set me on the introspective track,—though many years had to pass before I properly understood what had put him off it. ??A book like this would have saved me a great deal of labour and vexation of spirit. Nowadays, of course, there are many introductions to psychology, and the beginner has a whole library of text-books to choose from. Still, they are of varying merit; and, what is perhaps more important, their temperamental appeal is diverse.?I do not find it easy to relate this new book to the older Primer,—which will not be further revised. There is change all through; every paragraph has been rewritten. ??The greatest change is, however, a shift of attitude; I now lay less stress than I did upon knowledge and more upon point of view. The beginner in any science is oppressed and sometimes disheartened by the amount he has to learn; so many men have written, and so many are writing; the books say such different things, and the magazine articles are so upsetting!

Sandplay reprezint? o abordare terapeutic? eficient? ?i accesibil? de vindecare a persoanei ?n ?ntregul ei. Baz?ndu-se pe vaste cuno?tin?e de mitologie ?i folclor, dar mai cu seam? pe dezvolt?rile analizei jungiene, autoarea explic? felul ?n care imaginile ?n nisip contribuie la autoreglarea psihicului, iar interpretarea simbolurilor spa?iale ajut? la clarificarea ?i dep??irea blocajelor interioare. La fel ca pictura, analiza viselor sau imagina?ia activ?, modelarea ?n nisip are meritul de a aduce ?ntr-un spa?iu imaginar procese incon?tiente ?i emo?ii nespuse, care sunt mult mai greu de accesat ?n urma unei simple ?cure prin vorbire“. Prin coimplicarea trup ?i suflet ?n jurul cutiei cu nisip, analistul ?i pacientul ob?in o imagine concret? a evolu?iei rela?iei terapeutice, dar mai ales desc?tu?eaz? capacitatea pacientului de autovindecare.Volumul include o serie de istorii de caz, dar ?i ilustra?ii fotografice ?i sfaturi practice pentru psihologii care sunt tot mai interesa?i de metoda sandplay.

Imagini mi?c?toare. Reflec?ii psihanalitice asupra filmului Experien?a vizion?rii de filme – oricât de pl?cut?, mi?c?toare, instructiv?, însp?imânt?toare sau palpitant? ar putea fi – se îmbog??e?te prin sensurile noi ?i neb?nuite oferite de interpretarea psihanalitic?. „Imagini mi?c?toare: Reflec?ii psihanalitice asupra filmului“ ofer? cititorilor un asemenea punct de vedere într-un limbaj accesibil, bine documentat de Andrea Sabbadini, care se bazeaz? nu doar pe teoria psihanalitic?, ci ?i pe experien?a sa clinic? pentru a explora aportul incon?tientului în formarea personalit??ii ?i a comportamentului personajelor din film ?i pentru a interpreta lumea lor interioar? ?i conflictele emo?ionale generate de vicisitudinile vie?ii. Dep??ind încerc?rile psiho-istorice superficiale de a analiza cinea?tii prin produsele lor sau a aplica concepte psihanalitice în film, Sabbadini demonstreaz? cum atât cinematograful, cât ?i psihanaliza pot beneficia de un dialog reciproc interdisciplinar plin de substan??. Cartea prezint? un interes în special pentru cinefili, psihoterapeu?i, studen?i ?i istorici de film. „Imagini mi?c?toare“ de Andrea Sabbadini, o carte str?lucit?, este scris? într-un stil limpede ?i l?muritor. Filmele analizate merg de la cele cu con?inut recunoscut psihanalitic (precum Spellbound/Fascina?ie) pân? la cele mai degrab? latent psihologice (de exemplu Kes). Interpretarea sa original? ?i provocatoare este un amestec irezistibil de cunoa?tere psihanalitic? profund? ?i încântare cinematografic? pur?. Adesea c?r?ile despre film ?i psihanaliz? sunt opace sau greoaie. Imagini mi?c?toare reprezint? o excep?ie minunat?. – Peter William Evans, Queen Mary University, Londra O pasional? poveste de dragoste între Psihanaliz? ?i Film este prezentat? în aceast? carte ca o apoteoz? conving?toare ?i splendid?. Andrea Sabbadini, analist britanic remarcabil ?i organizator al Festivalului de Film European ?i Psihanaliz?, care se ?ine la Londra din 2000, î?i demonstreaz? competen?a ?i entuziasmul molipsitor abordând un subiect palpitant. O lucrare profund? ?i bine gândit?, o adev?rat? încântare pentru cititor. – Stefano Bolognini, Pre?edintele Asocia?iei Interna?ionale de Psihanaliz?

Pornind de la tendin?a natural? a copilului de a imagina roluri ?i de a construi pove?ti relevante pentru via?a sa interioar?, terapia prin joc este larg folosit? în abordarea problemelor psihice ale copiilor ?i adolescen?ilor. Cele 101 tehnici prezentate în acest volum ofer? psihologilor, educatorilor, dar ?i p?rin?ilor ?i pediatrilor un instrument eficient ?i neintruziv pentru a-i ajuta pe cei mici s?-?i verbalizeze emo?iile, s?-?i gestioneze furia, s? fac? fa?? pierderilor ?i doliului, dar ?i s? vindece vechi r?ni, cum sunt cele pricinuite de abuzuri ?i traume. Cartea include contribu?iile unor autorit??i mondiale în terapia prin joc, cu orient?ri variate, de la psihodinamic? la cognitiv-comportamental?. De asemenea, diversele tehnici, utile atât în evaluare, dar ?i în cur?, sunt grupate în ?apte sec?iuni: de la pove?ti vindec?toare ?i arte plastice la jocuri de grup ?i marionete. Copiii pot spune cu u?urin?? cum se simt cât? vreme este „doar în glum?“ sau doar „în joac?“. Mul?i copii se simt foarte confortabil ?i mai pu?in amenin?a?i când r?spund la întreb?ri într un format de joc, datorit? distan??rii pe care o simt fa?? de realitate. – Heidi Gerard Kaduson Piesele geometrice ale jocurilor de construit ofer? infinite posibilit??i: zgârie-nori, gr?dini zoologice, autostr?zi, aeroporturi, poduri, castele sau case ale dinozaurilor. Toate acestea asigur? copiilor un sentiment real de împlinire, care le optimizeaz? imaginea de sine ?i le satisface impulsul de st?pânire a mediului. – Charles E. Schaefer

Imagineaz?-?i c? e?ti ?oferul unui autobuz din care to?i pasagerii, odat? urca?i, refuz? s? mai coboare. Mai mult, ei te încurc?, spunându-?i pe unde s? o iei, iar indica?iile lor sunt contradictorii. Când acel autobuz este chiar via?a ta, confuzia ?i nefericirea bat la u??. Iar pasagerii insisten?i, uneori agresivi, sunt vocile tale critice interioare, cele care te fac s? iei decizii de multe ori contrare propriilor interese. Vocea critic? interioar? î?i poate spune, de pild?, c? e?ti o persoan? neinteresant?, c? nu meri?i pozi?ia pe care te afli sau c? trebuie s? le faci tuturor pe plac. Exist? îns? ?i un revers al medaliei, ?i anume valorile sus?inute de vocea interioar?, precum altruismul sau nevoia de a reu?i. Aceast? carte te ajut? s?-?i recuno?ti vocea interioar?, sub ambele sale aspecte, ?i, prin „trucurile“ pe care ?i le împ?rt??e?te, s? o po?i gestiona cu succes, astfel încât s? nu-?i mai influen?eze într-un sens negativ atitudinea fa?? de propria persoan?, deciziile ?i comportamentul.
