Cartea care a schimbat vie?ile a milioane de oameni Jocul A?adar, vedem c?, pentru a juca cu succes jocul vie?ii, trebuie s? ne antren?m facultatea de a ne imagina. Un om cu aceast? abilitate, antrenat s? ??i imagineze doar binele, va atrage ?n via?a sa ?toate dreptele dorin?e ale inimii“ – s?n?tate, bog??ie, iubire, prieteni, expresia perfect? a sinelui, idealurile cele mai ?nalte. Imagina?ia a fost supranumit? ?foarfeca min?ii“, care taie ?i taie, zi dup? zi, imaginile v?zute, iar omul ??i ?nt?lne?te propriile crea?ii, mai devreme sau mai t?rziu, ?n lumea exterioar?. Pentru a ?i antrena cu succes imagina?ia, omul trebuie s? ?n?eleag? cum ?i func?ioneaz? mintea. Grecii au spus ?Cunoa?te te pe tine ?nsu?i!“ Exist? trei planuri ale min?ii: subcon?tientul, con?tientul ?i supracon?tientul. Subcon?tientul este, pur ?i simplu, putere f?r? direc?ie. El este ca aburul sau electricitatea ?i face ceea ce este direc?ionat s? fac?; el nu are putere s? influen?eze. Tot ceea ce omul simte profund sau imagineaz? cu claritate este imprimat ?n subcon?tient ?i este executat ?n cele mai mici detalii. Iubirea Adev?rata iubire este dezinteresat? ?i eliberat? de team?. Ea se revars? asupra obiectului afec?iunii ei f?r? a cere nimic ?n schimb. Bucuria ei se g?se?te ?n bucuria de a d?rui. Iubirea este Dumnezeu manifestat ?i cea mai puternic? for?? magnetic? din univers. Iubirea pur?, lipsit? de egoism, atrage ceea ce ?i apar?ine; nu trebuie s? caute sau s? cear?. Foarte pu?ini au o vag? idee despre adev?rata iubire. Omul este egoist, tiranic ?i tem?tor ?n afec?iunile lui, pierz?nd astfel obiectul iubirii lui. Gelozia este cel mai r?u du?man al iubirii, c?ci imagina?ia se dezl?n?uie?te, v?z?nd fiin?a iubit? atras? de altcineva, ?i, inevitabil, aceste temeri devin realitate dac? nu sunt neutralizate.

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.

A collection of essays on books and why they matter by the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer of THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF KAVALIER & CLAY and WONDER BOYS. MAPS AND LEGENDS is a love song in sixteen parts – a series of linked essays in praise of reading and writing, with subjects running from ghost stories to comic books, Sherlock Holmes to Cormac McCarthy. Throughout, Chabon energetically argues for a return to the thrilling, chilling origins of storytelling, rejecting the false walls around ‘serious’ literature in favour of a wide-ranging affection. His own fiction, meanwhile, is explored from the perspective of personal history: post-collegiate desperation sparks his debut, THE MYSTERIES OF PITTSBURGH; procrastination and doubt reveal the way towards WONDER BOYS; a love of comics and a basement golem combine to create the Pulitzer Prize-winning THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF KAVALIER & CLAY; and an enigmatic Yiddish phrasebook unfurls into THE YIDDISH POLICEMEN’S UNION.

Limbajul, ca func?ie psihic? specific uman?, se afl? la confluen?a mai multor discipline, printre care filosofia, psihologia, neurobiologia, psihopedagogia special?, logopedia.

Exist? numeroase idei preconcepute cu privire la psihanaliz? – c? este opera unui singur om, Sigmund Freud, ?i se practic? la fel ca acum un secol, psihanaliza este preocupat? doar de sexualitate, s-a demodat, c? este un fel de cult ezoteric ?n care trebuie s? fii ini?iat, ?i lista ar putea continua. ?n lucrarea de fa?? autorii prezint? ideile centrale ale celor mai reprezentativi psihanali?ti contemporani, oferind at?t o perspectiv? istoric? asupra ideilor psihanalitice, c?t ?i o compara?ie ?ntre diferitele curente. Plec?nd de la presupozi?ia c? cititorul nu este deloc familiarizat cu aceste teme, cartea ofer? o introducere ?n diferitele ?coli teoretice, explic?nd aspectele clinice la care acestea au fost receptive ?i c?teva dintre conceptele lor de baz?, precum ?i ilustr?ri clinice ale suferin?elor umane pe care aceste curente teoretice ?ncearc? s? le clarifice. Astfel, cititorul reu?e?te s? ?ntrevad? fragmentul de experien?? uman? ascuns ?n spatele conceptelor psihanalitice. Formul?rile ?n termeni psihanalitici devin formul?ri despre oameni reali, despre modul lor de a??i organiza experien?ele, despre dificult??ile pe care le ?nt?mpin? ?n via??.

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

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.

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.?
