Cambridge University Press Freuds Interpretation of Dreams
Book SynopsisFor students, lay readers and experts, this book features a careful reconstruction and critical reconsideration of The Interpretation of Dreams, which Freud construed as the cornerstone of his oeuvre. Sugarman identifies foundational weaknesses that call such characterization into question and assesses their implication for Freud's larger project.Trade Review'Sugarman throws into relief the basic argumentative lines of the Interpretation of Dreams in particular and of Freud's theory as a whole, and the result of her analysis is a novel view of what this theory achieves. Her masterly presentation, clear throughout, knowledgeable and yet concise, gives us a new Freud, one critically examined, but no less fertile in understanding the human mind.' Rüdiger Bittner, Universität Bielefeld, Germany'Susan Sugarman is puzzled by Freud's claim that dreams must provide a wish fulfillment in order to materialize. This takes her to a fascinating voyage in Freud's Interpretation of Dreams in the course of which she arrives with unexpected yet exacting truths. When a great Freud scholar like Sugarman probes into the most famous of Freud's books, you can be certain that you will be rewarded with a masterpiece in psychoanalytic scholarship and a new way of thinking about Freud's theory.'

Taylor & Francis Ltd Understanding Adolescents Political Agency
Book SynopsisThis ground-breaking volume shows that young people largely shape their own political development, and that to understand young people''s political development, we must consider their political agency.Håkan Stattin explores the findings of an extensive longitudinal study of the political socialization of young people in Sweden from the ages of 13 to 28, which shows that, contrary to popular belief, it is not parents, peers, teachers or other key adults who are the primary agents in shaping young people''s political development; it is their own self-directed political interest. Given that political interest is both an input and an output, the book examines how political interest affects young people''s political interactions with their parents, and why young people and their parents perceive these interactions differently. It covers key issues such as the impact of political-interest-triggering events and civil unrest, the role of school and peers, parental involvement and the

Taylor & Francis Ltd Feminist Reconfigurings of Alien Encounters
Book SynopsisFeminist Reconfigurings of Alien Encounters reclaims the notion of alien encounters together with strange but queerly loved companions: Vulgar slugs, diatoms (micro-algae), and familiars (spirit guides of witches). The book's three human co-authors ask: what would it take to establish more-than-human, bio- and geo-egalitarian co-existence on a planet in trouble?This playfully crafted mixed-genre book is informed by feminist posthumanisms and co-created with a spectral community of more-than-humans who are respectfully summoned to contribute with their perspectives. In focus of the entangled artistic-philosophical-poetic investigations are questions of ethics, aesthetics, and methodologies to co-exist response-ably rather than based on modern human beliefs in exceptionalism and entitlement to sovereignty, control, and conquest of more-than-human worlds. Feminist Reconfi gurings of Alien Encounters is intended for broad global audiences of researchers, teTrade ReviewOn a damaged earth, human beings must finally learn to meet more-than-humans on their terms. That’s no small trick for the vertebrate-centric, especially when the partners are unfamiliars like diatoms and slugs. Helped by one or two spirit familiars, this smart, lively book is full of tips for cultivating response-ability, possibly even before the dire heritage of human exceptionalism boils us all up. Donna Haraway, Professor Emerita, History of Consciousness and Feminist Studies, University of California, Santa Cruz, USAA sensitive yet vibrant and sympathetically weird volume exploring queer ways to think of the less emphasized others of our world’s occupants. The authors remind us that posthumanism deals with a host of alien and strange fabulations which have lived alongside us and existed for longer than us, in their own ways irreducible to anthropocentric philosophical capture. A beautiful and activism-inspiring book. Patricia MacCormack, Professor of Continental Philosophy, Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge, UKWith tenderness and vulnerability, the authors sincerely stretch their hands, hearts and minds out to meet and be met by alien others. In doing so they sculpt a post-human practice of kinship that is much needed in these petro-patriarchal times. Playful, thoughtful and committed, this book bridges theory, art, and creative writing, putting to use all these tools in such a way that readers will feel they can embark on alien journeys themselves. Camila Marambio, PhD, Curator, Artist, Independent Researcher, Ensayos. Curator of the Chilean Pavillion Turba Tol Hol-Hol at the 59th Venice Art Biennale 2022This book is a kin-spirited gathering of somatic and spectral desires to connect with mineralized, mucous-abundant and mysterious others beyond, and within, our different Earthly ways of being. It seeks out creative, epistemic hybridity through collective imaginings that tenderly nibble and glide, and poetically disrupt genres of writing, knowing, care, and companionability with other-than-human collaborators. Susan Reid, PhD, University of Sydney, Australia, Cultural Theorist, Creative Researcher, Artist and WriterOverturning expectations, the authors playfully and deconstructively employ both cognitive and affective techniques of estrangement and defamiliarization to undermine human exceptionalism and power, offering instead radically different, mutualistic practices of more-than-human companionships. For many readers, this startling and ambitious text will be an alien – yet highly productive - encounter in itself.

Roberts argues that first-order parenting techniques, teaching specific behaviors to reduce unwanted child behaviors, are overused.

Working with, and influenced by, the late Hans Eysenck, Claridge is celebrated for evolving research on personality and psychological disorders into a revised view of the spectrum of psychotic traits.

Taylor & Francis Ltd What We Owe to Nonhuman Animals
Book SynopsisThis book strongly challenges the Western philosophical tradition's assertion that humans are superior to nonhuman animals. It makes a case for the full and direct moral status of nonhuman animals. The book provides the basis for a radical critique of the entire trajectory of animal studies over the past fifteen years. The key idea explored is that of felt kinship'a sense of shared fate with and obligations to all sentient life. It will help to inspire some deep rethinking on the part of leading exponents of animal studies. The book's strong outlook is expressed through an appeal for radical humility on the side of humans rather than a constant reference to the human-animal divide'. Historical figures examined in depth include Aristotle, Seneca, and Kant; contemporary figures examined include Christine Korsgaard and Martha Nussbaum. This book presents an account according to which the tradition has not proceeded on the basis of impartial motivations at all, but instead has maTable of ContentsIntroductionChapter One: Background Ideals of Living1.

Book SynopsisBringing together international perspectives, this book demonstrates the importance of reframing time in higher education and how we can view it as a resource to support wellbeing and self-care.Time is a central part of our lives and structures our days, and yet often we donât think about the socially constructed nature of time or how we might reframe our relationship with time and our work in ways that support our self-care and wellbeing.

Taylor & Francis The Great Psychology Delusion
Book SynopsisThe Great Psychology Delusion takes an unflinching look at some of the foundational assumptions of psychological science. Exploring long-standing unanswered critiques of psychological research in a way that is detailed but accessible, the book brings together a wealth of material that challenges our understanding of what the science of psychology really is, and how the subject matter of that science should be conceived.Identifying a Great Delusion (that there is a coherent discipline of psychology with sound foundations), the authors explore a number of more specific delusions regarding scientific practice in psychology. These include the problematic assumptions of core statistical analyses, questionable aspects of frequently used experimental designs, and continued frictions regarding the much-aspired-to scientist-practitioner model. The delusions produce the uncomfortable state in which we find much of modern psychological science - theoretically challenged, poorly replicated, and with questionable real-world value.This unsentimental examination of the state of things nevertheless allows the authors to identify concrete steps that the scientific community can take to re-ground psychological research and move forward to a successful science studying the richest and most complex phenomena we know of: us.This book will interest all people interested in psychological science, from undergraduate students to researchers.

He goes on to contrast this with superior memory and examines what, if anything, is special about individuals with remarkable memory powers, and how might we improve our own memory. The significance of sleep, our ability to ârememberâ the future, the various brief memory stores, and the multiple forms of amnesia are also covered, as well as the most common forms of dementia â including Alzheimer's disease.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Perception and Imaging
Book SynopsisWhen you look at an image, what do you see, think, and feel? How do you want your audience to react when they view your work? For over 30 years the late Richard Zakia helped photographers enrich their creative vision through his classic book, Perception and Imaging. Now he is joined by co-author John Suler who extensively studied and worked with images throughout his career as a clinical psychologist. Together they present their insights into the principles of perception, memory, color, time, space, shapes, illusion, subliminals, rhetoric, personality style, and photo critique. Unlike any other book, Perception and Imaging will give you an extensive understanding of how photography relates to art, design, advertising, psychology, and philosophy, as well as what makes photography unique among the image-making disciplines. Whether you are a beginner or a professional, this information will help you appreciate photography not simply as a mastering of technique and composition, but as a way of truly seeing, especially now in the digital age. â New sections about photo sharing in social media and online groups devoted to photography critiqueâ Includes inspirational images from some of the worldâs most well-known photographers, including Henri Cartier-Bresson, Man Ray, and Ansel Adamsâ A comprehensive discussion of the decisive moment photo, its vital ingredients, and why some consider it the essence of photographyâ New sections about body language in photographs, camera angles, aspect ratios, self portraits and selfies, and how memory and personality affect photography Table of ContentsContentsPreface to the Fifth Edition Acknowledgments 1 Selection Ganzfeld Figure–Ground Figure–Ground Boundary Graphic Symbols Similar Concepts to Figure-Ground Graininess and Noise Resolution Figure–Ground Enhancement The Bigger Picture of Figure-Ground Notan Visual SearchCamouflage Negative SpaceNoticing Negative SpaceThe Role of the FrameStrategies for Using Negative SpaceViewpoint and Camera Angles Key Words Notes 2 Gestalt Grouping Field Theory and the Gestalt Laws ProximityProximity, Area, and Contrast Side-by-Side Images Temporal Proximity Proximity and Learning SimilaritySimilarity of ShapeSimilarity and RepetitionSimilarity and ProximitySymmetry and AsymmetrySymmetry and RedundancySymmetry in Graphic SymbolsContinuityContinuity in TypographyContinuity in SequencesClosureClosure and NonclosureClosed AreasThe Zeigarnik EffectPeople as Participants Gestalt Critique Words of Caution Captions, Copy, GestaltPragnanz Pragnanz as an Overarching Principle Order and ComplexityA Summary of Gestalt Principles Key Words Notes 3 Memory and Association Types of Memory From STM to LTM Body/Somatic MemoryVerbal MemoryVisual MemoryColor MemoryUnconscious Memory Association Equivalents Associations in Advertisements Props (Signifiers) Associations to Color SynesthesiaRebuses and Pictograms Onomatopoeia and SimileMetaphorsSemioticsIconic, Indexical and Symbolic RepresentationSemiotics in Analyzing and Designing AdsSemiotic OperationsConceptual Photography Is Conceptual Photography Art?

Taylor & Francis Ltd Business Architecture
Book SynopsisOrganizations today exist in an environment of unprecedented change. They do so against a backdrop of a global, competitive marketplace, the fast-paced enablement of technology, amplified regulation and accelerating organizational complexity. Many organizations are addressing change in a sub-optimal way and they are operating without a clear view of where their operational risks lie. It is these dynamics that are leading organizations to recognise and embrace Business Architecture. Despite this environment, Business Architecture can be a difficult 'sell' - it is often perceived to be abstract and lacking in tangible delivery. To succeed, Business Architecture must be pragmatic and, to be sustainable, it must focus on achieving long-term value and, at the same time, recognise the shorter-term tactical needs of the organisation. With these challenges in mind, this book provides a practical guide on how to employ Business Architecture and how to build a balanced proposition that deliveTrade Review' It is the best work to date describing business architecture.' Jeff Scott, former Forrester Analyst. 'I love this book.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Suffering and Psychology
Book SynopsisSuffering and Psychology challenges modern psychology''s concentration almost exclusively on eradicating pain, suffering, and their causes. Modern psychology and psychotherapy are motivated in part by a humane and compassionate desire to relieve many kinds of human suffering. However, they have concentrated almost exclusively on eradicating pain, suffering, and their causes. In doing so psychology perpetuates modern ideologies of individual human freedom and expanding instrumental control that foster worthy ideals but are distinctly limited and by themselves quite self-defeating and damaging in the long run. This book explores theoretical commitments and cultural ideals that deter the field of psychology from facing and dealing credibly with inescapable human limitations and frailties, and with unavoidable suffering, pain, loss, heartbreak, and despair. Drawing on both secular and spiritual points of view, this book seeks to recover ideals of character and compassionTable of ContentsIntroduction1. Stories of Suffering 2. The Denial of Suffering in Psychology 3. Disguised Ideology 4. Early Religion and the Axial Age 5. Modern Approaches 6. Toward a "New Wisdom of Limits"7. Transforming Suffering
