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

Nr . 1 bestseller New York Times ? Carte tradus? ?n 30 de limbi Ce ?nseamn? s? mori cu demnitate? Medicina modern? poate c? g?se?te moduri din ce ?n ce mai eficiente de a lupta cu b?tr?ne?ea ?i cu moartea, dar, ?n cele din urm?, cu to?ii suntem muritori. ?ntrebarea pe care o pune autorul este ce poate face medicina pentru a ?mbun?t??i nu doar via?a, ci ?i sf?r?itul acesteia. Pentru c?, prea adesea, oamenii ??i tr?iesc b?tr?ne?ea ?n scaune cu rotile, ?n aziluri ?n care sunt trata?i ca ni?te copii, sau mor din cauza unor boli grave, chinui?i de medici care nu vor s? recunoasc? faptul c? au fost ?nvin?i ?i care insist? s? ?ncerce pe pacient cele mai revolu?ionare tratamente, ?n ciuda suferin?elor inimaginabile prin care acesta trebuie s? treac? inutil. Atul Gawande argumenteaz? c? ultimele s?pt?m?ni sau luni din via?a unui om pot fi tr?ite cu demnitate, al?turi de cei dragi ?i ?n mediul care l-a f?cut fericit. Pentru c?, de fapt, scopul principal nu ar trebui s? fi e o moarte bun?, ci o via?? bun? – p?n? la sf?r?itul ei. ?O carte ?n?eleapt? ?i curajoas?, ce pune probleme la care nimeni dintre noi nu vrea s? se g?ndeasc?.“ – The Sunday Times ?Dr. Gawande arat? cum pacien?ii ?n faza terminal? a bolii lor pot p?stra aspecte importante ce ?in de calitatea vie?ii.“ – Wall Street Journal La prima vedere, australianul Terence Tao pare un om normal. Are 36 de ani ?i pred? matematica la University of California, Los Angeles. Dar nu este nici pe departe o persoan? obi?nuit?. Conform Institutului Davidson din SUA, el are un IQ de 230, cel mai mare ?nregistrat vreodat?. Cu alte cuvinte, Terence este cel mai de?tept om din lume. Coeficientul mediu de inteligen?? se situeaz? ?n jurul valorii de 100. Dincolo de 100 ?ncepe ?ara oamenilor de?tep?i, oameni care nu numai c? ?tiu mai multe, dar VOR S? AFLE mai multe. Oameni care ??i pun ?NTREB?RI despre lumea din care fac parte – despre IUBIRE ?i SEX, despre PRIETENIE ?i NEVOIA DE CEILAL?I, despre ISTORIE, ?TIIN?? ?i SOCIETATE, despre CINE SUNTEM ?i ce ne face cu adev?rat OAMENI – liberi, plini de umor, lipsi?i de prejudec??i. Tuturor celor chinui?i de astfel de ?ntreb?ri le oferim colec?ia IQ230. Psihologia, filosofia ?i sociologia vorbesc pe ?n?elesul tuturor, a?tept?nd un singur lucru: s? punem ?ntreb?rile...

Fericirea poate fi atins? prin g?sirea echilibrului optim dintre pl?cere ?i motiva?ie, arat? renumitul expert ?n ?tiin?e comportamentale Paul Dolan, prin alocarea aten?iei ?n mod eficient ?i prin evitarea lucrurilor care ne provoac? durere ?i sunt lipsite de sens. Pare mai u?or de spus dec?t de f?cut, dar, cu ajutorul unor pa?i simplu de pus ?n aplicare, inspira?i din psihologie ?i din economie, fiecare dintre noi poate descoperi propria re?et? pentru a decide, proiecta ?i ob?ine lucrurile care aduc adev?rata fericire.?Extraordinar?, avangardist? ?i profund?.

Ce se ?nt?mpl? atunci c?nd via?a pe care trebuie s? o duci nu seam?n? cu cea pe care ?i-ai planificat-o? Pe m?sur? ce intr?m ?ntr-o nou? er? a istoriei umanit??ii ?i speran?a medie de via?? cre?te, iar lumea devine un loc tot mai bun, plin de solu?ii tehnologice, oamenii ??i pun ?ntreb?ri tot mai profunde. Acum ne d?m seama c? modul ?n care am muncit nu mai d? rezultate. Fabricile se mic?oreaz?, nu se m?resc. Cariera de patruzeci de ani nu mai exist?. Omenirea necesit? o nou? abordare a voca?iei ?i avem nevoie de ceva nou – sau poate de ceva foarte vechi. Exist? o cale spre munca plin? de satisfac?ii care nu te oblig? s? te conformezi carierei alese de p?rin?i sau pentru care s?-?i compromi?i valorile. Nu va sem?na cu nici o lec?ie predat? la ?coal? ?i probabil nici cu ceea ce ?i-au spus profesorii despre viitorul t?u, dar te po?i baza pe ea. Sunt lucruri mai importante ?n via?? dec?t ceea ce ?i se ?nt?mpl?, iar voca?ia ?nseamn? mai mult dec?t s? pontezi o cartel?. Dar cum putem g?si o astfel de cale ce pare disp?rut? de mult? vreme?

Fie c? suntem psihologi, medici, profesori sau asisten?i sociali, ne-am dedicat unei profesii ?n care ajut?m oameni afla?i ?n suferin??, ?n nevoie, ?n ne?tiin??, oameni pe care ?i salv?m, ?i protej?m, ?i sus?inem sau ?i cre?tem. Profesii dificile, care cer mari eforturi, dar ofer? ?i mari satisfac?ii. Exist? ?ns? doar aceast? parte luminoas?? Putem face doar bine? Confrunta?i ?n permanen?? cu destine tragice, terapeu?ii pot aluneca pe panta umbrei, evit?nd suferin?a neputin?ei. Prin cartea de fa??, scris? ?ntr-un limbaj accesibil ?i plin? de exemplific?ri, Guggenbühl-Craig ne permite s? examin?m si latura ?ntunecat? a profesiei, unde ?i gasim pe cei care ajut? urm?rind nu beneficiul celuilalt, ci propriul beneficiu ?i de?inerea puterii – ?arlatanul, impostorul, ipocritul, falsul profet. ?i s? descoperim ?i solu?ia – maturizarea psihic?, reducerea clivajelor prin explorarea psihicului ?n ?ntregimea sa, astfel ?nc?t asistentul social s? nu mai considere c? ??i poate practica profesia inginere?te, profesorul s? nu mai cread? c? doar elevii sunt copil?ro?i, iar terapeutul s? nu mai vad? boala doar la pacien?ii lui.?

Dintre autorii de referin?? prezen?i în aceast? antologie nu lipsesc Howard Gardner, Jerome Bruner, Peter Jarvis, Etienne Wenger, Jack Mezirow ?.a. Înv??area e „treaba" tuturor: profesori ?i elevi din sistemul de educa?ie, adul?i angaja?i în procese de formare profesional?, manageri con?tien?i de avantajul comparativ dat de excelen?a ?i creativitatea angaja?ilor, consultan?i în procese de înv??are (traineri, mentori, consilieri). Knud Illeris ne pune la dispozi?ie o selec?ie excep?ional? de autori de mare prestigiu ?i texte fundamentale care au marcat în?elegerea pe care o avem azi cu privire la procesele de înv??are. Un motiv în plus s? „lu?m de bun?" aceast? carte este c? ilustreaz? perspectiva unui autor scandinav, iar sistemele de educa?ie ?i formare de acolo reu?esc s? îmbine cel mai bine performan?a în înv??are cu fericirea ?i starea de bine.- Prof. univ. dr.

　　《自闭历程》讲述了天宝•葛兰汀带着自闭症的独特性，在生活中的种种遭遇，以及她自己的思考和困惑。对于普通人而言处于正常范围的噪音，会让她如同置身于轰炸现场；她会不停地重复一个新学到的词，而若不巧这个词涉及禁忌，就会给她带来很大的困惑和麻烦；她也会捉弄那些让她难堪的同学或者老师。作为一个独立的社会人去思考未来人生的时候，她无法理解象征着崭新世界的大门是什么样的，反而一定要找到一扇具体的门，她一次次它，穿过它。后来，天宝为自己制造了一台神奇的机器，她可以自由调节内部空间，让自己舒适地置身于它的包裹之中。但是，很多“正常人”会胡乱揣测这个机器的用途，并强加给它各种各样的象征意义。

    当我们受挫的时候，是否怀疑过自己能不能成功；当我们成功的时候，是否思考过自己能不能做得更好；当我们迷茫的时候，又有没有想过自己为什么要做这件事？自我实现的渴望激励人们不断去探索高峰、探索人性能到达的境界。     在这本书里，马斯洛深度探讨了自我实现与超越、男性和女性的认知、教育的目标和意义以及社会与个人的协同作用。他颠覆性地提出了超越性动机，带你领悟自我实现的高峰体验。     现代生活中工作和教育的压力，让人们渐渐失去对于自我实现的自主性，厌烦情绪膨胀，工作和学习自然难以取得令人满意的结果。马斯洛所提出的以兴趣、爱好为代表的心理动机，对人类自我实现的意义却远超所有人的想象，是时候把自主权重新掌握在自己手里了，人性能到达的境界，取决于你想到达的境界。

A rip-roaring narrative celebration of the 21st century’s great transport success story: the bicycle. Millions of us now cycle, some obsessively, and this glorious concoction of history, anecdote, adventure and lycra-clad pedalling is the perfect read for two-wheelers of all kinds. ‘At last – a bicycle book for the rest of us…. A book for the sort of cyclist who likes cycling and reading and stories.’ Guardian Two wheels. A frame. Two pedals. What could be simpler than a bicycle? And yet the bike continues to inspire a passionate following. Since the millennium its use in Britain has doubled, and then doubled again. Thousands now cycle to work, with more and more taking it up every day. Acclaimed author Bella Bathurst takes us on a journey through cycling’s best stories and strangest incarnations, from the bicycle as a weapon of warfare to the secret life of couriers and the alchemy of framebuilding. With a cast of characters including the woman who watercycled across the Channel, the man who raced India’s Deccan Queen train and several of today’s top cyclists, she offers us a brilliantly engaging portrait of cycling’s past, present and world-conquering future.
