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.

Prezentul volum este dedicat unei expuneri sintetice ?i accesibile a psihanalizei, care ?nglobeaz? ?i dep??e?te primele Prelegeri de introducere ?n psihanaliz? (1916–) ?i seria nou? a acelora?i prelegeri din 1933. Cronologic, ea acoper? aproape treizeci de ani, din 1909, anul celor cinci conferin?e ?inute ?n Statele Unite, care au marcat intrarea triumfal? a psihanalizei ?n Lumea Nou?, ?i 1938, ultimul an de via?? al lui Freud, c?nd ?ncepe aceast? scriere, r?mas? neterminat?.Adres?ndu-se, datorit? con?inutului s?u, ?n primul r?nd celor care doresc s? se ini?ieze ?n psihanaliz? —studen?i ai facult??ilor de psihologie, medicin?, pedagogie, sociologie, filosofie, litere ?i teologie —, volumul de fa?? poate re?ine ?i aten?ia speciali?tilor prin faptul c? reprezint? o sintez? a ?ntregii opere a lui Freud, la care se adaug? idei noi.?Nu, con?tien?a nu poate fi esen?a elementului psihic, ea este numai o calitate a acestuia, ?i anume o calitate inconstant? care mai des este absent?, dec?t prezent?. Factorul psihic ?n sine, oricare i-ar fi natura, este incon?tient, ?i probabil de un tip asem?n?tor cu toate celelalte procese din natur? despre care avem cuno?tin??. Pentru argumentarea acestei aser?iuni, psihanaliza se raporteaz? la un num?r de fapte.Visul este o psihoz?, cu toate inep?iile, forma?iunile delirante, iluziile senzoriale ale unei psihoze. E adev?rat, este o psihoz? de scurt? durat?, inofensiv?, ?nzestrat? chiar cu o func?ie folositoare, ini?iat? prin acordul persoanei, ?ncheiat? printr-un act de voin?? de c?tre ea. Cu toate acestea, este o psihoz? ?i ?nv???m pe baza ei c? p?n? ?i o modificare at?t de profund? a vie?ii psihice poate fi anulat?, poate l?sa spa?iu func?iei normale. Este atunci prea temerar s? sper?m c? ar trebui s? putem supune ?i ?mboln?virile spontane temute ale vie?ii psihice influen?ei noastre ?i s? le vindec?m?“ – Freud

The majority of my 20’s I was on strong antidepressant medication. Instead of being the best, those were the most unhappy years of my life. I know how it feels to live with social anxiety 24/7, 365 days a year. The suffering, the shame, the lack of understanding from family and friends. The feeling that no-one really understands what you’re going through. I understand.?This is why I can help.?This book documents my entire journey through social anxiety; the factors that caused it and the exact steps I took to find my healing and regain control of my life.

I am a living proof that you can overcome your biggest fears and achieve anything you want in life as long as you just have the courage to take the first step and not give up. I spent most of my teens and twenties depressed, lonely and on strong antidepressants. By age 27, I had given up on ever overcoming my social anxiety & shyness.?Even worse than that, I had given up on myself.

De?i ?n ultimele zeci de ani progresul tehnologiei a devenit tot mai rapid, modific?nd condi?iile de via?? nu numai de la o genera?ie la alta, ci chiar ?n cadrul aceleia?i genera?ii, rela?iile dintre oameni au continuat s? se conduc? dup? acelea?i reguli vechi de secole. Avem a?tept?ri de la noi ?n?ine ?i de la ceilal?i bazate pe acelea?i principii de via?? vetuste, iar c?nd suntem dezam?gi?i arunc?m vina ?ntr-o parte ?i-n alta, inclusiv asupra propriei persoane, f?r? s? observ?m c? ?ncerc?m, de fapt, s? ?mbr?c?m un adult cu hainele unui copil. Ce face Meg Barker ?n aceast? carte remarcabil de atractiv scris? este s? pun? sub semnul ?ntreb?rii regulile actuale din cadrul rela?iilor intime ?i de prietenie. Ea ne propune s? reflect?m asupra lor ?i s? ?n?elegem de ce nu mai pot func?iona, suger?ndu-ne rescrierea lor ?ntr-o manier? flexibil?, adaptat? fiec?ruia ?n parte. Este o carte ce deschide perspective, oferind argumente pro ?i contra bazate pe cercetare, f?r? s? impun?, f?r? s? fac? judec??i de valoare. ? Rescrierea regulilor este un ghid prietenos ce ne poart? printre complicatele – ?i, adesea, contradictoriile – reguli ale iubirii: sunt oferite sfaturi cu privire la atrac?ie ?i sex, monogamie ?i conflict, identitate de gen ?i angajament. Aceast? carte trece ?n revist? modul ?n care regulile sunt ?rescrise“ ?n diferite feluri, d?ndu-i cititorului puterea s? g?seasc? abordarea care se potrive?te cel mai bine cu situa?ia lui. – Meg Barker ? “Tr?im ?ntr-o perioad? de mare incertitudine ?n ceea ce prive?te rela?iile. C?ut?m Alesul, dar ne trezim c? r?m?nem singuri pentru c? nimeni nu se ridic? la nivelul a?tept?rilor. T?njim dup? un final fericit, dar o desp?r?ire dup? alta ne las? r?ni?i ?i confuzi. G?sim un partener, dar realitatea rela?iilor noastre nu este cea la care ne a?teptam ?i devine greu s? p?str?m echilibrul ?ntre acestea ?i toate celelalte lucruri pe care le vrem de la via??. C?s?toria se dovede?te a fi o industrie ?rezistent? la recesiun“ ?i, ?n acela?i timp, rata divor?urilor ?i a desp?r?irilor se ridic? la cele mai ?nalte cote.“ – Meg Barker

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.
