Taylor & Francis Ltd Between Psychology and Psychotherapy Psychology Revivals
Book SynopsisIn this highly original and thought-provoking work the late Miller Mair puts forward his ideas for a new psychology. First published in 1989, he deals with issues of fundamental importance to the future of a psychology guided by genuine enquiry and concern rather than mere professional self-interest. Crossing and re-crossing boundaries between psychology, psychotherapy and philosophy, and between science' and art', he demonstrates the linkages between the personal and the impersonal, subject and object, inside and outside, with a daring not previously risked by anyone working in the area.Dr Mair stresses the importance of a poetic approach in psychology and psychotherapy, and the need to explore and understand the nature of psychology through an imaginative freedom of language. He emphasizes that a poetic awareness and attentiveness is fundamental to any pursuit of understanding of ourselves or others.This is a very personal book, concerned with personal knowledgeTable of ContentsAcknowledgements Introduction Part One: A Poetics in Practice 1 Caring to know 2 Pretending to care 3 Some personal impressions of psychotherapy 4 Psychology in an intermediary mode 5 A use of imagery in psychotherapy 6 Towards a poetics of experience 7 Preaching what we practise Part Two: A Personal Story Between thee and me Part Three: A Discipline of Discourse 8 Hints of a conversational psychology 9 The passion of knowing 10 Speaking from within a world References Index

Taylor & Francis Ltd Moral Responsibility and Alternative
Book SynopsisThis book explores an important issue within the free will debate: the relation between free will and moral responsibility. In his seminal article ''Alternate Possibilities and Moral Responsibility'', Harry Frankfurt launched a vigorous attack on the standard conception of that relation, questioning the claim that a person is morally responsible for what she has done only if she could have done otherwise. Since then, Frankfurt''s thesis has been at the center of philosophical discussions on free will and moral responsibility. Moral Responsibility and Alternative Possibilities, edited by David Widerker and Michael McKenna, draws together the most recent work on Frankfurt''s thesis by leading theorists in the area of free will and responsibility. As the majority of the essays appear here for the first time, Moral Responsibility and Alternative Possibilities offers the newest developments in this important debate.Trade Review'This is a fascinating collection of articles, by some of the leading figures in contemporary moral philosophy, exploring a topic that has generated considerable interest in recent years. The work here is of the highest quality.' Metapsychology Online '...no-one seriously interested in moral responsibility and free will can afford to ignore this book.' Journal of Moral Philosophy 'This book collects the best recent literature on the philosophical debate on PAP... a very useful book, perfectly suitable to introduce newcomers to a fascinating debate.'

Taylor & Francis Uncertain Bioethics
Book SynopsisBioethics is a field of inquiry and as such is fundamentally an epistemic discipline. Knowing how we make moral judgments can bring into relief why certain arguments on various bioethical issues appear plausible to one side and obviously false to the other. Uncertain Bioethics makes a significant and distinctive contribution to the bioethics literature by culling the insights from contemporary moral psychology to highlight the epistemic pitfalls and distorting influences on our apprehension of value. Stephen Napier also incorporates research from epistemology addressing pragmatic encroachment and the significance of peer disagreement to justify what he refers to as epistemic diffidence when one is considering harming or killing human beings. Napier extends these developments to the traditional bioethical notion of dignity and argues that beliefs subject to epistemic diffidence should not be acted upon. He proceeds to apply this framework to traditional and develTrade Review"Stephen Napier argues with verve and subtlety for a cautious and restrained approach to acts of killing in bioethics; central to his argument is the difficulty of being sure that active interventions are permissible. This book intriguingly combines insights from a wide variety of different recent philosophical literatures to offer an important and interesting contribution to numerous current debates." – Sophie-Grace Chappell is Professor of Philosophy at Open University, UK Table of ContentsChapter 1.

Taylor & Francis Introduction to Transpersonal Psychology
Book SynopsisIntroduction to Transpersonal Psychology: Bridging Spirit and Science provides an accessible and engaging introduction to this complex and evolving field. Adopting a modular approach, the book systematically relates key themes of Transpersonal Psychology to three major areas within psychology: general psychology, experimental psychology, and clinical psychology. Covering a wide range of topics including transpersonal states of consciousness, biological foundations, research methods, and cognition, the book also features extensive discussion of transpersonal theorists and the impact of their work on our understanding of psychological concepts. The book also introduces contemporary developments in the field and anticipates future advances such as feminist perspectives and cross-cultural approaches alongside practical experiments designed to give transpersonal theories and concepts psychological roots. A critical evaluation of both mainstream and transpersonal theories and research is applied throughout to foster analytical skills and encourage critical and scientific thinking about humanityâs nature as spiritual creatures and ways to educate for personal and social transformation. Accompanied by an online instructorâs manual, this book will be an essential companion for all students of Transpersonal or Humanistic Psychology, or those interested in applying transpersonal ideas to mainstream psychological research. Trade Review"This book is a landmark event for transpersonal psychology. The field now has its own textbook, and a superb one at that. The book is clearly the culmination of a life’s work of exploration, contemplation, study, and teaching. The scholarship is prodigious, yet the style is lucid and readable. This is a magnificent contribution: an accessible text for students, a rich resource for the field, and a resource to keep returning to. If I could recommend only one transpersonal book for the library of transpersonal psychologists, it would probably be this one."Roger Walsh, Professor of psychiatry, philosophy, and anthropology at the University of California at Irvine.Table of ContentsIntroduction 1 Scope and Outline 18 Variety of Transpersonal Orientations 37 Contemporary Perspectives 54 Modern History and Future Challenges 73 Transpersonal Psychology as a Human Science 92 Knowing, Speaking, and Creating 112 Consciousness: States and Traits 131 Biological Foundations 151 Motivation and Emotion 170 Development 189 Personality 208 Psychological Disorders 226 Psychotherapy 245 The Transpersonal Vision 265

Taylor & Francis Ltd Emotion and Cognition
Book SynopsisThis cutting-edge, yet accessible book provides a complete and integrated assessment of the role of emotions in a wide variety of cognitive functions. Including both empirical and theoretical works and debates, this book presents the results of research aimed at understanding how our emotions influence cognitive performance in diverse areas such as attention, memory, judgment, decision-making or reasoning, and emotional regulation. Drawing on years of research that has enabled psychologists to know when emotions have beneficial versus deleterious effects on cognition, the book explores the mechanisms responsible for these effects. Each chapter focuses on a specific cognitive function and is mirrored by a chapter examining the individual differences in the role of emotions on this aspect of cognition, and how this role changes during aging and in patients with mood disorders.Emotions play a central role in the life of every human being as they crucially guide Table of ContentsChapter 1 Emotion and Cognition: IntroductionChapter 2 Emotion and AttentionChapter 3 Emotion and Attention: Individual Differences, Aging, and PsychopathologyChapter 4 Emotion and MemoryChapter 5 Emotion and Memory: Individual Differences, Aging, and PsychopathologyChapter 6 Emotion, Judgment, Decision-Making, and ReasoningChapter 7 Emotion, Judgment, Decision-Making, and Reasoning: Individual Differences, Aging, and PsychopathologyChapter 8 Emotion RegulationChapter 9 Emotion Regulation: Aging, Individual Differences, and PsychopathologyChapter 10 Emotion and Cognition: Conclusion and Perspectives

Taylor & Francis Ltd Sloterdijks Anthropotechnics
Book SynopsisPeter Sloterdijk is an internationally renowned philosopher and thinker whose work is now seen as increasingly relevant to our contemporary world situation and the multiple crises that punctuate it, including those within ethical, political, economic, technological, and ecological realms. This volume focuses upon one of his central ideas, anthropotechnics. Broadly speaking, anthropotechnics refers to the technological constitution of the human as its fundamental mode of existence, which is characterized by the ability to create dwelling places that immunize' human beings from exterior threats while at the same time instituting practices and exercises that call on humanity to transcend itself ascetically'. The essays included in this volume enter a critical dialogue with Sloterdijk and his many philosophical interlocutors in order to interrogate the many implications of anthropotechnics in relation to some of the most pressing issues of our time, including and especially the qTable of ContentsForeword Introduction: Sloterdijk’s Anthropotechnics 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Places Sociality and Ecological Psychology
Book SynopsisThis book presents a collection of essays honoring Professor Harry Heft, a leading figure in the field of ecological psychology, engaging critically with his work, thought and influence. Containing 12 chapters written by leading experts from philosophy and psychology, this text critically examines, questions, and expands on crucial ideas from Heft concerning the nature of cognition, its relationship to the body and the environment (including the social and cultural environment), and the main philosophical assumptions underlying the scientific study of psychological functions. It elaborates on the notion of affordance, and its connection to social, cultural and developmental psychology, as well as on the application of Roger Barker's eco-behavioral program for current psychology and cognitive science. The book includes an extensive interview with Heft, where he reflects about the history, challenges and future of ecological psychology. Finally, it presents a chapter written byTrade ReviewFinally: Harry Heft is getting the recognition he deserves. His careful work has quietly inspired generations of researchers interested in the history and philosophy of psychology, especially pragmatism and the ecological approach. Many of us, myself included, found reading Heft’s 2001 masterpiece Ecological Psychology in Context to be a transformative experience. That work made the ideas of James Gibson and Roger Barker seem less strange and foreign by providing historical precedent in the late work of William James. This book collects brand new essays by some of those who were inspired by Heft’s philosophical and historical analyses, along with a delightful interview with Heft and his response to the collected essays. The interview alone is worth the price of admission and the rest of the collection is a crucial record of the mark Heft has left. Highly recommended. - Prof. Anthony Chemero, University of Cincinnati, USATable of ContentsIntroduction1. Reflections on Ecological Psychology: An interview with Harry Heft2.

Book SynopsisThe Mental Health of Gifted Intelligent Machines explores the increasingly sophisticated behaviours of developing AI and how we can ensure it will have emotional resilience, ethical strength and an ability to think in a new and enhanced way. Its primary aim is to change how we understand the world by investigating humanity as an intelligent being, examining and contrasting human and artificial intelligence.The book considers what we can learn from the likely mental health issues that will occur with increasingly sophisticated aspects of machine intelligence and how they will reflect the human condition. It asks questions about our identity in a deeply uncertain and disruptive ever-changing world; how we will improve and enhance our psychological intelligence to meet the increasing complications and demands of the future; and what we need to do, now, to be psychologically intelligent enough to live a full meaningful life in a new world evolving around us.

Taylor & Francis Cosmos and Perception in Platos Timaeus
Book SynopsisThis volume offers a wide-ranging study on perception in the Timaeus, not only discussing senses such as touch, taste, and olfaction alongside audition and vision but also engaging with Timaeusâ wider cosmological project. Most studies of perception in the Timaeus focus on a few narrow passages on vision and audition. By taking the broader approach of this volume, important lessons about the nature of perception may be gleaned from Timaeusâ cosmogony, psychogony, and anthropogony. While there is an emerging modern consensus that the Timaeus should be read literally, this study argues against a literal interpretation of the spatial and kinetic properties of the soul in favour of a metaphorical understanding. Not only does this yield a rich account of the intentionality of cognition but also sheds light onto the nature of the soul-body union. In addition, this volume argues for the largely overlooked significance of Timaean anatomy, as it contributes to our understanding of the providential scheme of Timaeusâ cosmology more generally.Cosmos and Perception in Platoâs Timaeus is of interest to students and scholars of the Timaeus and Platoâs thought more broadly, as well as those working on ancient theories of perception and the philosophy of mind.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Microaggressions and Philosophy
Book SynopsisThis is the first book to offer a philosophical engagement with microaggressions. It aims to provide an intersectional analysis of microaggressions that cuts across multiple dimensions of oppression and marginalization, and to engage a variety of perspectives that have been sidelined within the discipline of philosophy. The volume gathers a diverse group of contributors: philosophers of color, philosophers with disabilities, philosophers of various nationalities and ethnicities, and philosophers of several gender identities. Their unique frames of analysis articulate both how the concept of microaggressions can be used to clarify and sharpen our understanding of subtler aspects of oppression and how analysis, expansion, and reconceiving the notion of a microaggression can deepen and extend its explanatory power. The essays in the volume seek to defend microaggressions from common critiques and to explain their impact beyond the context of college students. Some of the guiding questiTrade Review"This book provides an important critique of some common conversations about micoaggressions, but it also shows us what more informed and more interesting conversations about them look like." – Stacey Goguen, Northeastern Illinois University, USA"Microaggressions and Philosophy is a bold volume whose contributions span the scope of the structural, the interpersonal, and the scientific.

An ambitious defence of absolute idealism, Rödl rejects the idea that we as thinking beings can position ourselves within a given, mind-independent reality, and instead advances the position that the very idea of an objective reality' coincides with the self-consciousness of thought.In this outstanding collection, a roster of international contributors critically examine the significance of Rödl''s arguments and develop them in new directions.

Taylor & Francis Empathyâs Role in Understanding Persons
Book SynopsisThis volume critically discusses the role empathy plays in different processes of understanding. More precisely, it clarifies empathyâs role in interpersonal understanding and appreciating works of literature and art. The volume also includes a section on historical theories of empathyâs role in understanding.When it comes to understanding other persons, empathy is typically seen as a process that enables the empathizer to recognize a target personâs mental states, a process which is in turn seen as âœunderstandingâ this person. This volume, however, explores empathyâs role in understanding beyond mere mental state recognition. With contributions on processes of interpersonal understanding and understanding of literature and art, it provides readers with an overview over both differences and similarities regarding empathyâs epistemic role in two rather different areas.

Released in 2014, this was the first philosophy textbook in moral psychology, introducing students to a range of philosophical topics and debates such as: what is moral motivation? Do reasons for action always depend on desires? Is emotion or reason at the heart of moral judgment? Under what conditions are people morally responsible? Are there self-interested reasons for people to be moral?The Second Edition of Moral Psychology: A Contemporary Introduction, updates its responses to these questions, taking advantage of the explosion of recent research from philosophers and psychologists on these topics, and adding a chapter on the question of whether morality is innate or learned.

Drawing on perspectives from experimental, neuropsychological and developmental psychology as well as philosophy, the book examines the mechanisms that allow us all to learn to lie and use lies for different ends and in everyday life.The Psychology of Lying and Misrepresentations opens with an introductory chapter on lies and the processes underlying their production. It goes on to examine our innate desire to believe, and the clinical and technical methods used to determine whether someone is lying or telling the truth.

It provides an interpretation of Kriya Yoga and its practice in pursuit of spiritual upliftment, and concept of Samadhi or the transformation of consciousness using the language and idiom of contemporary psychology. It draws parallels between yoga psychology and the ideas of Husserl, Jung and Piaget while reconciling the seemingly disparate cultural, religious, spiritual, and intellectual traditions of eastern spirituality and schools of modern psychology.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Eternal Youth and the Myth of Deconstruction
Book SynopsisIn Eternal Youth and the Myth of Deconstruction, Bret Alderman puts forth a compelling thesis: Deconstruction tells a mythic story. Through an attentive examination of multiple texts and literary works, he elucidates this story in psychological and philosophical terms.Deconstruction, the method of philosophical and literary analysis originated by Jacques Derrida, arises from what Carl Jung called a kind of readiness to produce over and over again the same or similar mythical ideas. In the case of deconstruction, such ideas bear a striking resemblance to a figure that Jungian and Post-Jungian writers refer to as the puer aeternus or eternal youth. To make his case, in addition to a careful analysis of numerous Derridean texts, he offers readings of literary works by Milan Kundera, J.M. Barrie, Dante, Apuleius, and others. These texts help illustrate that deconstruction's preoccupations over questions of presence, deferral, authority, limits, time, and representTrade Review"Alderman's analysis of deconstruction is meticulous and riveting. He also persuasively highlights its archetypal repetition in the mythology of the eternal youth. But his argument is not merely polemical; it is a nuanced reworking of its gifts into a synthesis which will engage readers across the field of contemporary thought"Roger Brooke, Professor Emeritus, Duquesne University."In prose reminiscient of Hillman, Alderman illuminates the myth of our era - the rejection of our embodied origin in matter that leaves us in the Neverland of Eternal Youth. This book offers a powerful corrective to the rootless inflation so present in our current cultural moment."Lisa Marchiano, author of Motherhood. "At last, a vigorous collision of Jung and deconstruction that superbly illuminates both. 'Eternal Youth and the Myth of Deconstruction' succeeds in capturing what these vital perspectives share and how profoundly they diverge. Alderman philosophizes Jung, psychologizes Derrida, and mythologizes Butler. Essential reading for the twentyfirst century transdisciplinary era."Susan Rowland, PhD, author of Jungian Arts-Based Research and the Nuclear Enhancement of New Mexico (2021).

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Global Origins of Psychology
Book SynopsisThis book offers a historical introduction to the remote origins of psychology, and is the first book in a series on the history of the subject. Combining a deep history approach with the study of ancient civilisations, it places psychology in a historical and global context using rigorous academic research.This book begins by separating the Greek components of psychology psyche and logos in order to trace their histories, separate and together, through the global Neolithic and Bronze Ages. The author develops a toolkit by deconstructing the writing of history, modern psychology, and analysis of culture, and by introducing theories from neuroscience and cultural psychology that can be tested against the data. He then takes readers on a journey back in time, from the borders of our current climatic envelope (the Holocene) towards the present, through Ancient Iraq, Egypt, Israel, and China. Each chapter deepens the reader's understanding of psychology in its global conteTrade Review"Spellbinding, unique, and original, The Global Origins of Psychology stuns me with this fresh look into the ancient study of psyche. What is true of psyche is also true of logos: word, reason, argument, language, theory, the laws to be discovered, the human capacity for accessing experience and penetrating to its underlying laws – all the senses of logos – predate Greek philosophy. The journey of logos through the Fertile Crescent, Ancient Iraq, Ancient Egypt, Ancient Israel, and Ancient China delineates a new world map so that we understand how we reason in our mind in different areas of the world, historically, and cross-culturally." Ruyu Hung, Distinguished Professor, National Chiayi University, Taiwan."Valentine provides a readable, fascinating review of the psyche through time, a sweeping tapestry of cultural and historic shifts in understanding the laterality of the brain. He brings forward ancient views of the mind and offers a thought provoking and insightful perspective on the challenges humanity has encountered and still faces."Darcia Narvaez, University of Notre Dame, USA, and author of Neurobiology and the Development of Human Morality: Evolution, Culture and Wisdom.

Taylor & Francis Ltd History of Psychology through Symbols
Book SynopsisVolume Two of The History of Psychology through Symbols continues a groundbreaking approach of using symbols to deepen the understanding of psychological history as well as the importance of how one lives, an emphasis on engagement with symbols and with specific exercises, called emancipatory opportunities, to apply the lessons of psychological history to daily life.From the birth of modern psychology in the laboratory of Wilhelm Wundt, Volume Two discusses how the early theories of voluntarism, structuralism, evolution, and pragmatism influenced the modern development of psychology. The importance of making unconscious shadow forces in science conscious is explored through the impact of the eugenic movement, the controversies surrounding the development of psychological testing, and current research biases in psychology. Volume Two describes how clinical psychology emerged as a powerful profession in mental health care. The Four Forces of Psychology are explored throuTrade Review“Jim Broderick’s The History of Psychology through Symbols is a radically original and deeply thoughtful way of creatively reimagining a story that we tend to see as humdrum and all-too familiar.”Christine Downing, author of Mythopoetic Musings.“Long fascinated by the analysis of myth, symbol, and storytelling in understanding the human psyche, I approached The History of Psychology through Symbols by Jim Broderick with great interest. I was rewarded with an incredibly original, evocative, and encyclopaedic yet highly readable work that employs the very medium he analyzes – the experience and meaning of symbols. Charting its political, historical, and socioeconomic evolution, Dr. Broderick invites the reader to explore the power of symbol from the earliest religions to modern psychology. It is with great pleasure that I recommend this book to all who share the enchantment of the symbol-producing brain.”John C. Robinson, PhD, DMin, author: Death of a Hero, Birth of the Soul; What Aging Men Want: The Odyssey as a Parable of Male Aging; Bedtime Stories for Elders: What Fairy Tales Can Teach Us About the New Aging.“Dr. Broderick’s History of Psychology through Symbols does exactly what we would want from a history of psychology book, it awakens our faith in the future. As a lover of history and teacher of the history of psychology, I have wanted a textbook that offers a rich description of psychological history but that is also inspirational and engaging, showing us (clinicians, educators, depth practitioners) opportunities to move into a shared, creative future. His analysis integrates the history of individual experience within a cultural context that accounts for the emancipatory interests of genuine science while maintaining the creative energies necessary to help psychology find its own voice amongst other important disciplines. His writing style is fluid, compelling, and inviting all at the same time. This is truly a user-friendly approach to our shared history and is much needed. It is an encyclopaedia without sounding like one.” Peter T. Dunlap, PhD. Awakening our Faith in the Future: The Advent of Psychological Liberalism.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Essays in Existential Psychoanalysis
Book SynopsisIn this brilliant and revolutionary collection of 14 major essays that draw from more than 25 years of painstaking research, M. Guy Thompson regales us with a stunning revisioning of conventional psychoanalysis that deepens our understanding of the human condition.Integrating the most seminal existentialist philosophers, including Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Sartre, with the most forward-thinking psychoanalysts over the past century, including Freud, Laing, Bion, Winnicott, and Lacan, Thompson offers a profound yet deeply personal vision of what psychoanalysis can be in the 21st century. In this fascinating volume, Thompson explores such concepts as experience, authenticity, will, happiness, and agency by utilizing a wide range of thinkers, including the ancient Greeks, but always in his singular voice. Exquisitely lucid and engaging to read, Thompson deftly lures us into thoughtful and enlightening territory typically inaccessible to the general reader.This coTrade Review'Essays in Existential Psychoanalysis: On the Primacy of Authenticity draws together 14 major papers written by Michael Guy Thompson. Their aim is to reconsider various foundational themes and assumptions within psychoanalysis from the focus point of existential theory. Always exciting to read, they are uniformly and clearly argued and presented. Thompson is rightfully renowned as an original theorist whose writing is both accessible and challenging, as well as to the point and passionate. These essays are intended to provoke and illuminate. Not only do they achieve this aim, in my view they surpass it thanks to the author's mastery of the material under discussion and, not least, his genuine enthusiasm in offering fresh perspectives on both psychoanalysis and existentialism.'Professor Ernesto Spinelli, PhD, author of Practising Existential Therapy: The Relational World'A unqiue and absorbing development of key commonalities between existential and psychoanalytic apporaches to understanding clinical issues and the human condition. This book is a unique integration of existential philosophy and psychoanalysis, comprising Dr Thompson's nearly thirty years of painstaking publications that have developed this perspective. As an existential psychoanalyst, Thompson explores concepts such as experience, authenticity, will, and agency by utilizing a wide range of thinkers from the ancient Greeks through to Nietzche, Freud, Heidegger, Sartre, and Laing. His thought-provoking existential perspective on psychoanalytic concepts such as free association, neutrality and working through makes this an invaluable and distinctive contribution to existential psychoanalysis.'Douglas Kirsner, PhD, Emeritus Professor, Deakin University, Melbourne, Australia; author of The Schizoid World of Jean-Paul Satre and R.D. Laing and Unfree Associations: Inside Psychoanalytic Institutes 'M. Guy Thompson knew and worked with some of the greats from the 20th century. Among these were R.D. Laing and Ernest Hemingway no less! And their influence is palpable. In this volume, Thompson's excursion through the interiors of existential psychoanalysis is exquisitely lucid and engaging—a revelation even to those of us schooled in its principles. Any reader wishing to understand the basis and importance of existential analysis in contemporary theory and practice simply must read this volume. With both passion and intimate experience, Thompson shows precisely why existential analysis still informs the bedrock of depth psychotherapy.'Kirk. J. Schneider, PhD, author of Life-Enhancing Anxiety: Key to a Sane World, The Psychology of Existence (with Rollo May), and Existential-Integrative Psychotherapy 'A fascinating, enlightening and stimulating exploration of the interface and intertwining of existential and psychoanalytic thinking. This book is strong in both its detailed analysis and overall vision and co-nourishing vistas of existential-psychoanalytic theory and practice, in support of our appreciative sense of lived experience.Michael Eigen, PhD, author of Contact with the Depths, The Sensitive Self, The Psychoanalytic Mystic, and Flames from the Unconscious 'The beauty of Thompson's approach, which he exemplifies throughout his book, lies in an emotional sensibility rather than just a theoretical doctrine. This rich text brings the existential sensibility to life in a manner that will be highly valuable to psychoanalytic therapists of all persusasions, as well as those who officially advocate existentialist thought.'Robert D. Stolorow, PhD, author of Trauma and Human Existence and The Power of Phenomenology: Psychoanalytic and Philosophical Perspectives'I know I am not alone in considering Michael Guy Thompson to be perhaps the best living exponent of existential psychoanalysis. Michael uniquely develops for us in the 21st century an unprecedented and compelling integration of continental philosophy and psychoanalysis. We are very fortunate to have so many of Thompson's key writings in one volume.'Professor Del Loewenthal, University of Roehampton and Southern Association for Psychotherapy and Counselling (SAFPAC), UK, author of Existential Psychotherapy and Counselling After PostmodernismTable of ContentsAcknowledgements Preface: What Is the Existentialist Sensibility? 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Toward the Psychological Humanities
Book SynopsisMark Freemanâs inspiring account of the burgeoning field of the psychological humanities presents a clear and compelling vision of what the discipline of psychology might become.Valuable though the scientific perspective has been for advancing the discipline, Freeman maintains that significant dimensions of the human experience elude this perspective and call for an entirely different kind of psychology, one more closely tied to the arts and humanities. Issuing his call for the psychological humanities in the form of a ten chapter manifesto, Freemanâs groundbreaking book offers a comprehensive rationale for a more inclusive, pluralistic, and artful approach to exploring the psychological world in all of its potential complexity, obscurity, and beauty.Engaging and accessible, this bold, provocative book is destined to spark significant discussion and debate in audiences including advanced undergraduates, postgraduates, and professionals in the field of psychology with interests in theoretical and philosophical psychology, history of psychology, clinical psychology, humanistic psychology, and qualitative psychology. It will also be welcomed by those in philosophy, literature, and the arts, as well as anyone intrigued by psychological life who may be interested in encountering a vital new approach to examining the human condition.
