Born in Vienna in 1882, Melanie Klein became a pioneer in child psychoanalysis and developed several ground-breaking concepts about the nature and crucial importance of the early stages of infantile development. Although she was a devoted Freudian, many of her ideas were seen within the psychoanalytic movement as highly controversial, and this led to heated conflicts, particularly with Freud's daughter, Anna. Introducing Melanie Klein brilliantly explains Klein's ideas, and shows the importance of her startling discoveries which raised such opposition at the time and are only now being recognized for their explanatory power. Her concepts of the depressive position and the paranoid-schizoid position are now in common usage and her work has to be taken seriously by psychoanalysts the world over. She is also now important in many academic fields within the human sciences.","brand":"Icon Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48066980217175,"sku":"9781848312135","price":8.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781848312135.jpg?v=1713213214"},{"product_id":"introducing-freud-a-graphic-guide-9781840468519","title":"Introducing Freud: A Graphic Guide","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eFreud revolutionized the way we think about ourselves.

She shows that taking human nature seriously, including unconscious elements, makes all the difference to the health of our organisations and our lives at work. I wholeheartedly recommend this book\u003c\/p\u003e -- Mike Brearley, former captain of England Cricket and President of the British Psychoanalytical Society\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA delight. Refreshing and inspiring\u003c\/b\u003e, healing even. I love how Gabriella portrays systems psychodynamic ideas put to work, with little jargon and a lot of humanity. Unlike many books in the field, ALL THAT WE ARE shows the work rather than talk about it, with a balance of depth and immediacy ... I will be recommending it to our community of consultants and coaches at INSEAD -- Gianpiero Petriglieri, Associate Professor of Organisational Behaviour, INSEAD\u003cbr\u003eIn ALL THAT WE ARE, Gabriella Braun weaves together a \u003cb\u003ehighly thoughtful, deeply sensitive and compelling \u003c\/b\u003eaccount about the underlying motivations behind people's behaviour at work. Through case studies and her own personal stories she brings to light the struggles, confusions and conflicts embedded in organisations, but throughout she brings her \u003cb\u003edeep humanity, insight and kindness. Beautifully written, it tells us what it means to be human at work\u003c\/b\u003e -- Naomi Shragai, author of THE MAN WHO MISTOOK HIS JOB FOR HIS LIFE\u003cbr\u003eSo many books about organisational behaviour are dry or formulaic. Some are interesting, but they are rarely \u003cb\u003ea joy to read\u003c\/b\u003e. In ALL THAT WE ARE, Gabriella Braun digs deep to show us the unconscious patterns that shape our lives at work. \u003cb\u003eThe result is not just fascinating.

Through a series of \u003cb\u003eunflinching yet compassionate\u003c\/b\u003e case studies, as well as reflections on her own experiences of analysis, Gabriella illustrates a wealth of knowledge and expertise, illuminating just how powerful the application of psychoanalytic techniques can be in our professional as well as personal lives. \u003cb\u003eA stunning book and a must-read for anyone interested in psychology, our working lives, or simply what it means to be human\u003c\/b\u003e -- Philippa East, author of LITTLE WHITE LIES and SAFE AND SOUND\u003cbr\u003eExcellent ... for anyone committed to understanding and changing organisations this is\u003cb\u003e a must read\u003c\/b\u003e.

A must read! -- Neema Shah, author of KOLOLO HILL\u003cbr\u003eALL THAT WE ARE takes as its starting point the fact that we, as humans, are messy and imperfect - especially when working together. This is not a book of easy answers and happy endings. It is about the difficult conversations and how to have them. These vignettes make a persuasive case for the catalysing effect of self-understanding -- Ronan Hession, author of LEONARD AND HUNGRY PAUL\u003cbr\u003eAs too much of the writing in the mental health field is full of gobbledygook, it is very refreshing to read Gabriella Braun's book about the human dynamics of the workplace. This \u003cb\u003eeasily assessable\u003c\/b\u003e book provides much insight about the behaviour of leaders and teams. And what's more, captured by her stories, we are gently taken on a journey that will help us \u003cb\u003ebetter understand our own inner theatre\u003c\/b\u003e, thus making us more effective in our day-to-day life. -- Manfred F.

Drawing on this experience she has written an \u003cb\u003einformative and accessible book that is a pleasure to read\u003c\/b\u003e. No prior knowledge is assumed and she distills complex ideas into everyday language that the reader can apply to their work environment, deepening their understanding of what is going on below the surface in terms of relationships and group processes.

It helps us to recognise the uncaring imagination in politics, in culture - for example in the writings of Ayn Rand - and also in ourselves.Sally Weintrobe argues that achieving the shift to greater care requires us to stop colluding with Exceptionalism, the rigid psychological mindset largely responsible for the climate crisis. People in this mindset believe that they are entitled to have the lion's share and that they can rearrange' reality with magical omnipotent thinking whenever reality limits these felt entitlements.While this book''s subject is grim, its tone is reflective, ironic, light and at times humorous.  It is free of jargon, and full of examples from history, culture, literature, poetry, everyday life and the author's experience as a psychoanalyst, and a professional life that has been dedicated to helping people to face difficult truths.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmong the lessons Weintrobe’s book holds for climate scientists is that human vulnerability to climate change cannot be measured on a simple quantitative scale running from the most vulnerable populations to the most resilient. To be sure, the risks of climate change are distributed highly unevenly, with poor, marginalized communities likely to suffer the worst effects. Yet, for the privileged readers to whom Weintrobe addresses this book, vulnerability is not the opposite of resilience. Rather, feeling vulnerable is the first step toward building sustainable relationships. * Science *\u003cbr\u003eWeintrobe brilliantly weaves together insights from psychology, economics and environmental science. Her book offers a vital critique of neoliberal orthodoxies and the social, psychological and ecological toll that they have exacted. But she also charts a way forward, one that begins by regenerating our embattled cultures of care. This book is a tour de force. * Rob Nixon, Barron Family Professor of Environment and Humanities, Princeton University, USA *\u003cbr\u003eThe distinction between the caring and uncaring parts of the human psyche was, for me, a new and powerful formulation – one that sheds much light on the mess we find ourselves in and perhaps offers some routes out! * Bill McKibben, author of Falter: Has the Human Game Begun to Play Itself Out? *\u003cbr\u003eIn his first speech as U.S. President-Elect, Joe Biden said: “Our nation is shaped by the constant battle between our better angels and our darkest impulses. It is time for our better angels to prevail.” His words are a fitting endorsement of Sally Weintrobe’s new book \u003ci\u003ePsychological Roots of the Climate Crisis: Neoliberal Exceptionalism and the Culture of Uncare\u003c\/i\u003e. In it she peels back the lid on human exceptionalism and our ability to \"uncare.\" She argues convincingly that these elemental features of the dominant neoliberal economic and political creed lie at the heart of the climate crisis. Unless and until we reassert our fundamentally caring nature, our ability to recognise planetary limits and retain control of our climatic destiny will continue to slip away. The book provides a powerful case that although technological solutions driven from within free markets will help to lessen the climate crisis, they will not be enough. Human behaviour will need to change also. * Chris Rapley, CBE, Professor of Climate Science, University College London, UK *\u003cbr\u003eSally Weintrobe uses her psychoanalytic mind and her sociocultural experience to create a brilliant presentation of intersecting historical, political, economic and psychological determinants of the climate crisis. She uses personal, clinical, literary, biblical, sociological, economic, and scientific information and metaphors to bring alive the overwhelming realities of ecocide and denialism. Her detailed elaboration of neoliberal exceptionalism and the current Western culture of uncare sets what she terms ‘the bubble of disavowal’ in bold context. Her own care for the safety of the planet – and its human and animal inhabitants – permeates the aspect of this book that inspires the reader to face the crisis and become an agent of change. * Harriet L. Wolfe, M.D., President-elect, International Psychoanalytical Association, and Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of California San Francisco, USA *\u003cbr\u003eThe problem of climate change has, for a generation, produced nothing approaching an adequate response – particularly among those in the wealthy west, many of whom see themselves as triumphalist technocrats capable of fixing anything at all. In her brilliant, dizzyingly insightful book, Sally Weintrobe explains why: a political culture that teaches those in the global north that they are not just entitled to a stable and prosperous world but entitled, as well, to live as though they had no responsibility for preserving it, indeed entitled to guiltlessness and ignorance at once. As she writes, neoliberalism is an ideology of power, but it is built through psychological appeals we have tragically come to accept as \"reality.\" We are, she writes, living in Wonderland – though not for long. * David Wallace-Wells, editor-at-large of New York Magazine and author of The Uninhabitable Earth *\u003cbr\u003eWeintrobe’s book holds invaluable insights for people of all ages and masterfully breaks down academic jargon for a popular audience. * Harvard Political Review *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePreface\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/i\u003e EXCEPTIONALISM: THE PSYCHOLOGY EXPLAINED 1.
