n aceast serie de conferine radio, susinute la BBC, Winnicott abordeaz o serie de probleme specifice creterii copiilor, cu scopul de a reda mamelor i tailor ncrederea n propriile instincte parentale. Printre temele abordate se afl: suptul degetului mare ori al pturicii, legturile dintre copil i printele vitreg, momentele n care celui mic trebuie s i se spun Nu“, gelozia dintre frai, sentimentele de vinovie ale mamelor, dezvoltarea simului moral n pruncie sau consolidarea ncrederii de sine la copil. Lipsit de orice ton moralizator, pediatrul britanic ofer, cu o atitudine empatic i ncurajatoare, explicaii i sfaturi extrem de actuale pentru prinii zilelor noastre, ilustrnd totodat concepte devenite clasice n psihologia copilului (obiect tranziional, mam suficient de bun“ etc.).Scopul acestor conferine nu a fost acela de a le spune prinilor ce s fac, ci de a detoxifica tiina creterii copilului, de a le da ncredere prinilor n ceea ce fac i de a-i ndemna s se simt liberi s caute ajutor individualizat atunci cnd se lovesc de vreun obstacol neateptat n creterea copiilor lor.“ – dr.

Sincerely do I hope that the issue of this little book may prove useful in drawing the attention of the public to the mental and physical condition of the unfortunates who form such a large proportion of our prison population.??To our authorities the sad plight of this mass of smitten humanity is well known. Year after year our Prison Commissioners, in presenting their reports, have not failed to impress upon the State the great part physical and mental afflictions play in the production of crime.??So far, the information given by the Prison Commissioners has produced little or no effect; neither have their representations led to any alteration in the treatment of unfortunate individuals whose infirmities are in reality the root cause of their delinquency.??To the official information I add the result of my own prolonged experience. This experience has imbued me with the conviction that the present methods of dealing with suffering humanity are neither wise, just, nor efficacious. I have seen the helplessness of so many that are called criminals that, in writing these pages, I am animated with a keen desire to hasten the day of sensible reform. Surely the day cannot be far distant when the State will take mental and physical infirmities into consideration when it has to deal with its erring children.??Thomas Holmes.?Howard Association,? Devonshire Chambers, Bishopsgate.? ?IS THERE A CRIMINAL TYPE? ??After years of close observation, during which I have formed many friendships with criminals, I can only answer this question in the words that I have answered it before, and say that, physically, I have not found any evidence to show that a criminal type exists. In saying this I know that I shall run counter to the teaching of a good many people, and probably run counter to public opinion. For the criminal class and the criminal type have been written about so largely, and talked about so frequently, that the majority of people have come to the conclusion that our criminals come from a particular order of society, and that the poorest; or that there exists a type of people whose physical appearance gives outward and visible signs that proclaim the inward criminal mind.??I believe both these ideas to be entirely wrong. I was confirmed in my opinion last year when I visited many of the largest prisons in the United States; for I found there, as I have found in England, a complete absence among the prisoners of those physical and facial peculiarities that we are taught to believe differentiate criminals from ordinary citizens.??Speaking on this subject to the American Congress at Washington on October 4, 1910, Sir Evelyn Ruggles-Brise, K.C.B., the esteemed chairman of our Prison Commissioners, made the following statement—??“There is no criminal type. Nothing in the past has so retarded progress as the conviction, deeply rooted and widespread, that the criminal is a class by himself, different from all others, with a tendency to crime, of which certain peculiarities of body are the outward and visible signs.??“This superstition, for such I think it must be called, was, you know, strengthened and encouraged by the findings of the Italian school.

PSYCHOLOGY is generally considered to be the science of mind, although more properly it is the science of mental states—thoughts, feelings, and acts of volition. It was formerly the custom of writers on the subject of psychology to begin by an attempt to define and describe the nature of mind, before proceeding to a consideration of the subject of the various mental spates and activities. But more recent authorities have rebelled against this demand, and have claimed that it is no more reasonable to hold that psychology should be held to an explanation of the ultimate nature of mind than it is that physical science be held to an explanation of the ultimate nature of matter. ??The attempt to explain the ultimate nature of either is futile—no actual necessity exists for explanation in either case. Physics may explain the phenomena of matter, and psychology the phenomena of mind, without regard to the ultimate nature of the substance of either.??The science of physics has progressed steadily during the past century, notwithstanding the fact that the theories regarding the ultimate nature of matter have been revolutionized during that period. The facts of the phenomena of matter remain, notwithstanding the change of theory regarding the nature of matter itself. ??Science demands and holds fast to facts, regarding theories as but working hypotheses at the best. Some one has said that "theories are but the bubbles with which the grown-up children of science amuse themselves." ??Science holds several well-supported, though opposing, theories regarding the nature of electricity, but the facts of the phenomena of electricity, and the application thereof, are agreed upon by the disputing theorists. And so it is with psychology; the facts regarding mental states are agreed up-on, and methods of developing mental powers are effectively em-ployed, without regard to whether mind is a product of the brain, or the brain merely an organ of the mind. ??The fact that the brain and nervous system are employed in the phenomena of thought is conceded by all, and that is all that is necessary for a basis for the science of psychology.

This is a special edition of Orna Ross's first two novels. For a limited time only, get both books in one. In 1923, Dan O’Donovan, a young soldier, was lured to his death in the notorious sinking sands that surround the small Irish village of Mucknamore. Now, in 1995, Jo Devereux has returned home to Ireland, needing to know more about this "War of The Brothers” and the secrets that haunted her childhood. Jo’s life in California has come to a full stop and she knows that if she wants to move forward, she’s going to have to go back. Settling down in a makeshift shed overlooking the ocean with a suitcase of old family letters and journals, Jo uncovers astonishing truths about Dan’s death. Truths about her mother and grandmother that have ricocheted across four generations and are igniting again the passionate conflicts of her youth, bringing her back into contact with Rory O’Donovan, Dan’s great-nephew. As Jo negotiates a shifting landscape of love, loss and revenge, she begins to question everything she thought she knew about her family – and her own choices.

The Aegean dispute between Greece and Turkey is a persistent problem between the two allied states. Difference of interpretation of the treaties has contributed in the prevalence of the argument. This dispute consists of five key issues. Greece only accepts one, namely the delimitation of the continental shelf. However, Turkey has introduced and has persisted on the other four, which are the delimitation of the territorial seas, the national airspace and FIR controls over the Aegean Sea, the demilitarization of the Eastern Aegean Islands and finally the disputed islands, islets and rocks which have presented the grey zones issue. All of these matters have persisted for so long, especially after the Treaty of Lausanne in 1923 where the current status quo in the Aegean was introduced, due to economic, political and strategic reasons. The Aegean dispute does not only have consequences for Greece and Turkey; it also affects, negatively, NATO and the European Union. This is an ongoing problem, which if not solved it will produce future problems, not only for the two states, but also for NATO and the EU. A third party may be needed in order to assist in finding a just and permanent solution concerning this dispute, since Greece and Turkey seem incapable of solving this dispute by themselves.

The youngish-looking man who so vigorously swung off the train at Restview, wore a pair of intensely dark blue eyes which immediately photographed everything within their range of vision—flat green country, shaded farm-houses, encircling wooded hills and all—weighed it and sorted it and filed it away for future reference; and his clothes clung on him with almost that enviable fit found only in advertisements. Immediately he threw his luggage into the tonneau of the dingy automobile drawn up at the side of the lonely platform, and promptly climbed in after it. Spurred into purely mechanical action by this silent decisiveness, the driver, a grizzled graduate from a hay wagon, and a born grump, as promptly and as silently started his machine. The crisp and perfect start, however, was given check by a peremptory voice from the platform.

Princess Irene and her father go to Gwyntystorm, while Curdie stays at home with his mother and father. As the years go by, Curdie begins to hunt for pleasure. He also slowly begins to doubt Irene's story of her great-great grandmother. One day, he shoots down a white pigeon. Curdie then remembers Irene's tale of her grandmother's pigeons, assumes the one he has shot down was one of them, and becomes aware of his folly. A light appears at the roof of the castle, and Curdie follows it. There, Curdie meets the old Princess, who appears small and withered, contrary to Irene's descriptions.

Cnd a constatat, pe baza identitii structurale ntre simptomul nevrotic, pe de o parte, i vis, act ratat, cuvnt de spirit, produse culturale, pe de alt parte, c ntre normal i patologic exist doar o deosebire de grad, i nu una de natur, Freud a trecut de la psihopatologie la psihologie. Psihanaliza, ca psihologie, este o psihologie a incontientului. Spre deosebire de psihologia contiinei, care studiaz fenomenele psihice contiente (sau accesibile n mod direct contiinei), psihologia incontientului cerceteaz acele fenomene psihice accesibile contiinei doar indirect, prin intermediul interpretrii de tip psihanalitic. Descoperirea incontientului psihic a revoluionat nu numai psihologia, ci i celelalte tiine ale omului: filosofia, antropologia, sociologia, estetica etc. Dac ar fi s formulez n puine cuvinte i ntr-un mod sugestiv esena psihologiei incontientului, a spune c ea const n ideea c i oamenii sntoi, nu numai nevroticii, au incontient. Iar incontientul oamenilor sntoi are aceleai coninuturi ca i incontientul nevroticilor. Diferena e doar de grad. Orict ar prea de surprinztor, psihanaliza nu este, aa cum ne-am obinuit s o gndim, un domeniu nestructurat interior, ci un adevrat sistem de discipline. Disciplinele psihanalitice – psihoterapia, psihopatologia, psihologia, metapsihologia i psihanaliza aplicat – se afl n relaii cronologice i logice. Din punct de vedere cronologic, prima a fost psihoterapia psihanalitic. Teoretizarea experienei psihoterapeutice a condus la constituirea psihopatologiei psihanalitice, care a stat la baza psihologiei psihanalitice. Pe temeiul acesteia s-au cldit metapsihologia i psihanaliza aplicat. Structura de rezisten a acestei cldiri multietajate o formeaz ideea de incontient. Parcurgerea celor optsprezece volume ale operelor complete a lui Jung mi-a prilejuit constatarea, surprinztoare la prima vedere, c exist mai multe tipuri de arhetipuri, dac folosim drept criteriu definiia arhetipului cu care Jung opereaz de-a lungul ntregii sale opere, i anume de pattern of behaviour, de for interioar de ordinul instinctului, cu valene spirituale. Arhetipurile care corespund acestei definiii i pe care le-am numit tipice descriu ntr-adevr o experien a speciei transmis ereditar. Din categoria arhetipurilor tipice fac parte: arhetipul matern, arhetipul patern, arhetipul infans, anima, animus, arhetipul renaterii, comunismul ca arhetip, arhetipurile regionale sau etnice, de tipul arhetipului germanilor (Wotan), cristalizare i transmitere a unei experiene colective de ordin general, nu universal.“ – Vasile Dem. Zamfirescu

Inteligen?a nu e ce crezi ?n primul r?nd, trebuie s? ?tii c? intelectualitatea nu e inteligen??. A fi intelectual ?nseamn? a fi fals; intelectualitatea este inteligen?? simulat?. Ea nu este real? din cauz? c? nu e a ta, e ?mprumutat?. Inteligen?a este dezvoltarea con?tiin?ei interne. Ea nu are nici o leg?tur? cu cuno?tin?ele, are leg?tur? cu medita?ia. Un om inteligent nu ac?ioneaz? pe baza experien?ei trecute; el ac?ioneaz? ?n prezent, ?n func?ie de condi?iile prezente. El nu reac?ioneaz?, ci r?spunde.
