C?nd ne compar?m prea des cu ceilal?i, c?nd suntem ?nseta?i de posesii ?i faim?, ?n?ep?tura invidiei sau mu?c?tura geloziei ne va ?ncerca inevitabil. ?i, cum tinde s? neg?m sau s? proiect?m asupra altora aceste sentimente, ele nu vor disp?rea, ci ne vor "roade" pe din?untru, diminu?ndu-ne stima de sine. Reputata psihoterapeut? jungian? Verena Kast demonstreaz? ?n ce fel, atunci c?nd ne min?im ?i refuz?m s? admitem aceste sentimente negative, pierdem ?ansa dezvolt?rii personale ?i ne cufund?m ?n ranchiun? sau ?n false ra?ionaliz?ri ale neputin?elor noastre. Devenind, ?n schimb, con?tien?i de invidia ?i gelozia ce ne pot b?ntui uneori, vom g?si c?ile spre a st?p?ni aceste sentimente: fie ne vom angaja ?ntr-o competi?ie constructiv?, fie ne vom asuma anumite limite ?i ne vom descoperi noi poten?ialit??i, prin care s? ne diferen?iem de ceilal?i. Odat? elibera?i de sindromul "caprei vecinului", ni se va deschide calea s?n?toas? spre noi rela?ii, spre solidaritate, spre "a fi" ?n loc de "a avea".

C??i dintre noi reu?esc s?-?i exprime o nevoie sau o emo?ie f?r? s? fie recepta?i ca fiind critici, egoi?ti sau manipulatori? De c?te ori nu evit?m, din fric?, s? ne spunem p?rerea? ?i ?n c?te r?nduri nu pornim o discu?ie doar pentru a ne ?desc?rca nervii"? Creat? de psihologul american Marshall B. Rosenberg, metoda Comunic?rii NonViolente (CNV) ofer? un cadru accesibil ?i de impact pentru dezvoltarea unor rela?ii empatice ?i respectuoase at?t cu sine, c?t ?i cu cei din jur. Bazat? pe numeroase exerci?ii ?i povestiri ilustrative, cartea demonstreaz? c? a comunica ?nonviolent “nu ?nseamn? s? devii pasiv sau de o polite?e artificial?, ci s? reu?e?ti s?-?i transmi?i c?t mai autentic ?i mai conving?tor sentimentele ?i opiniile, ?in?nd totodat? cont de impactul vorbelor tale asupra interlocutorului. Metoda CNV poate fi aplicat? cu folos at?t ?n familie, c?t ?i la serviciu, la ?coal? sau ?n rela?iile cu prietenii.

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. Este ceea ce a? vrea s? recuperez prin aceast? carte.“

Ce ne ?ndeamn? s? r?vnim la acele lucruri care nu ne apar?in, devenind invidio?i, sau chiar s? ni le ?nsu?im uneori, nesocotind, astfel, unul dintre principiile morale esen?iale? Avem oare de-a face cu un atribut uman primar, mai mult sau mai pu?in ?mbl?nzit de-a lungul veacurilor??n mituri ?i basme, furtul ?i pierderea sunt prezente ca mecanisme declan?atoare ale unor serii de evenimente fatidice sau, din contr?, ca germeni ai unei noi stabilit??i, superioar? celei anterioare. Trec?nd dincolo de simpla nara?iune a acestora, cartea de fa?? ne dezv?luie, printr-o fin? analiz? psihologic?, aspectele, motiva?iile, ra?iunile interioare ale ho?iei, acelea care scap? adesea privirii moralizatoare, precum ?i ?n?elesurile ascunse ale pandantului s?u, pierderea.Ho?ul interior este o lectur? util? ?i ?n acela?i timp pl?cut? pentru psihologi, psihoterapeu?i, asisten?i sociali, avoca?i ?i, totodat?, pentru to?i aceia care doresc s? ?n?eleag? ra?iunile ascunse ale comportamentelor respinse, ?n general, de societate.?Un mit esen?ial despre ho?ie este povestea L?nii de Aur. Aceast? legend? are cel pu?in 3000 de ani ?i reprezint? o prim? ilustrare a furtului unui lucru de pre?. [...] Studiind acest mit, vom vedea c? Iason, eroul compromis, se comport?, ?n parte, ca un adolescent care ?nc? nu s-a maturizat ca b?rbat, ca un t?n?r ce consider? c? i se cuvinte totul ?i care nu-?i poate recunoa?te limit?rile. Viitoarea sa so?ie, Medeea, ??i ucide mai t?rziu copiii f?cu?i cu Iason, pentru a evita ru?inea pierderii statutului ei ?i pentru a-?i afirma propria idee de justi?ie ?n fa?a nedrept??ii lui Iason, pe care ea o resimte ca pe o priva?iune. ?ns? lunga lor poveste mai con?ine ?i o alt? ?ntrebare: c?nd ho?ia opre?te brutal procesul de individuare?“ – Robert TyminskiSt?team ?n cabinetul meu de la ?coal?, c?nd a intrat o profesoar? ?i mi-a spus: ?A f?cut-o din nou.?

Am ?ntrebat ce furase ?i mi-a r?spuns: ?Rujul. La fel ca data trecut?.? A continuat: ?E un ho? de farduri. Din toate lucrurile de furat, el e obsedat de farduri.

Take your Haskell and functional programming skills to the next level by exploring new idioms and design patternsAbout This BookExplore Haskell on a higher level through idioms and patternsGet an in-depth look into the three strongholds of Haskell: higher-order functions, the Type system, and Lazy evaluationExpand your understanding of Haskell and functional programming, one line of executable code at a timeWho This Book Is ForIf you’re a Haskell programmer with a firm grasp of the basics and ready to move more deeply into modern idiomatic Haskell programming, then this book is for you.What You Will LearnUnderstand the relationship between the “Gang of Four” OOP Design Patterns and HaskellTry out three ways of Streaming I/O: imperative, Lazy, and Iteratee basedExplore the pervasive pattern of Composition: from function composition through to high-level composition with LensesSynthesize Functor, Applicative, Arrow and Monad in a single conceptual frameworkFollow the grand arc of Fold and Map on lists all the way to their culmination in Lenses and Generic ProgrammingGet a taste of Type-level programming in Haskell and how this relates to dependently-typed programmingRetrace the evolution, one key language extension at a time, of the Haskell Type and Kind systemsPlace the elements of modern Haskell in a historical frameworkIn DetailDesign patterns and idioms can widen our perspective by showing us where to look, what to look at, and ultimately how to see what we are looking at. At their best, patterns are a shorthand method of communicating better ways to code (writing less, more maintainable, and more efficient code).This book starts with Haskell 98 and through the lens of patterns and idioms investigates the key advances and programming styles that together make "modern Haskell". Your journey begins with the three pillars of Haskell. Then you'll experience the problem with Lazy I/O, together with a solution. You'll also trace the hierarchy formed by Functor, Applicative, Arrow, and Monad. Next you'll explore how Fold and Map are generalized by Foldable and Traversable, which in turn is unified in a broader context by functional Lenses. You'll delve more deeply into the Type system, which will prepare you for an overview of Generic programming. In conclusion you go to the edge of Haskell by investigating the Kind system and how this relates to Dependently-typed programming.Style and approachUsing short pieces of executable code, this guide gradually explores the broad pattern landscape of modern Haskell. Ideas are presented in their historical context and arrived at through intuitive derivations, always with a focus on the problems they solve.

Psihologia Sinelui, ?ntemeiat? de Heinz Kohut, este una dintre cele mai importante orient?ri din psihologia, psihoterapia ?i psihanaliza contemporan?. Pornind de la tulbur?rile narcisice de personalitate, frecvente ?n clinica sa din America anilor ‘50, Kohut se distan?eaz? de teoria pulsiunilor elaborat? de Freud pe baza trat?rii nevrozelor, foarte r?sp?ndite ?n Europa ?nceputului de secol. ?n centrul psihologiei sinelui se va afla linia narcisic? a dezvolt?rii psihice, pe care Kohut o consider? prioritar?. Sinele, obiectele sinelui, oglindirea, transferul narcisic iau locul principalelor concepte freudiene. Importantele modific?ri teoretice se concretizeaz? ?n ?nnoiri ale tehnicii, ?ntre care privilegierea empatiei ?n raport cu interpretarea se situeaz? pe primul plan.Sintetiz?nd ?ntreaga concep?ie a lui Kohut, prelegerile interactive sus?inute de el la Chicago la mijlocul anilor ‘70 se adreseaz? psihoterapeu?ilor, psihiatrilor, psihologilor, precum ?i tuturor celor interesa?i de cunoa?terea de profunzime a omului.

Odat? intra?i ?n sistemul clasic de ?nv???m?nt, micii ?colari ajung repede s? fie umili?i, speria?i ?i descuraja?i. V?duvi?i de dorin?a fireasc? de a explora, ei se vor sim?i cople?i?i de cerin?e f?r? noim? ?i de test?ri care ignor? punctele lor forte.

Plec?nd de la observarea procesului natural ?i fascinant ?n care copiii mici ?nva?? pe cont propriu s? mearg?, s? vorbeasc? sau s? rezolve jocuri complicate, autorul ?ndeamn? p?rin?ii ?i educatorii s? creeze un mediu de ?nv??are bazat pe ?ncredere ?i deschidere, care s? ?ncurajeze nu doar achizi?ia unor fragmente din diverse teorii, dar ?i dezvoltarea ?ncrederii, r?bd?rii ?i autonomiei elevilor afla?i la v?rste fragede.

Do you feel caught in a negative, looping behavior pattern? Do you ever wonder why the same situation seems to play out in your life with a revolving cast of characters? If you have become a “people pleaser” or fancy yourself a self-styled rebel, perhaps these are the surface level manifestations of something stirring deep within you—a need to let go. Other symptoms of holding on to the past are a constant need for acknowledgment or a fear of showing vulnerability. The common thread that runs through these behaviors and patterns is that the symptoms likely arise from a specific negative experience, which has never been fully processed. Never been let go. You have allowed this experience to take control of your destiny, and it is keeping you from living free and being who you really are. THE TIME HAS COME TO LET GO!

The Victorian period in Britain was an "age of reform." It is therefore not surprising that two of the era's most eminent intellects described themselves as reformers. Both William Whewell and John Stuart Mill believed that by reforming philosophy-including the philosophy of science-they could effect social and political change. But their divergent visions of this societal transformation led to a sustained and spirited controversy that covered morality, politics, science, and economics. Situating their debate within the larger context of Victorian society and its concerns, Reforming Philosophy shows how two very different men captured the intellectual spirit of the day and engaged the attention of other scientists and philosophers, including the young Charles Darwin. Mill-philosopher, political economist, and Parliamentarian-remains a canonical author of Anglo-American philosophy, while Whewell-Anglican cleric, scientist, and educator-is now often overlooked, though in his day he was renowned as an authority on science. Placing their teachings in their proper intellectual, cultural, and argumentative spheres, Laura Snyder revises the standard views of these two important Victorian figures, showing that both men's concerns remain relevant today. A philosophically and historically sensitive account of the engagement of the major protagonists of Victorian British philosophy, Reforming Philosophy is the first book-length examination of the dispute between Mill and Whewell in its entirety. A rich and nuanced understanding of the intellectual spirit of Victorian Britain, it will be welcomed by philosophers and historians of science, scholars of Victorian studies, and students of the history of philosophy and political economy.

With the arrival of the transcontinental railroad in the 1880s came the emergence of a modern and profoundly multicultural New Mexico. Native Americans, working-class Mexicans, elite Hispanos, and black and white newcomers all commingled and interacted in the territory in ways that had not been previously possible. But what did it mean to be white in this multiethnic milieuAnd how did ideas of sexuality and racial supremacy shape ideas of citizenry and determine who would govern the region?Coyote Nation considers these questions as it explores how New Mexicans evaluated and categorized racial identities through bodily practices. Where ethnic groups were numerous and-in the wake of miscegenation-often difficult to discern, the ways one dressed, bathed, spoke, gestured, or even stood were largely instrumental in conveying one's race. Even such practices as cutting one's hair, shopping, drinking alcohol, or embalming a deceased loved one could inextricably link a person to a very specific racial identity.A fascinating history of an extraordinarily plural and polyglot region, Coyote Nation will be of value to historians of race and ethnicity in American culture.

When middle-class residents fled American cities in the 1960s and 1970s, government services and investment capital left too. Countless urban neighborhoods thus entered phases of precipitous decline, prompting the creation of community-based organizations that sought to bring direly needed resources back to the inner city. Today there are tens of thousands of these CBOs-private nonprofit groups that work diligently within tight budgets to give assistance and opportunity to our most vulnerable citizens by providing services such as housing, child care, and legal aid.Through ethnographic fieldwork at eight CBOs in the Brooklyn neighborhoods of Williamsburg and Bushwick, Nicole P. Marwell discovered that the complex and contentious relationships these groups form with larger economic and political institutions outside the neighborhood have a huge and unexamined impact on the lives of the poor. Most studies of urban poverty focus on individuals or families, but Bargaining for Brooklyn widens the lens, examining the organizations whose actions and decisions collectively drive urban life.
