The History Press Ltd The Georgian Villa
The villa remains one of the most potent architectural forms in western culture. The ideal of a rural retreat for relaxation and contemplation has endured from antiquity up to the present day. Yet there have been significant changes in the form and function of the villa and the social and economic circumstances of its occupants. Many of these changes took place in the Georgian period. This stimulating book brings together leading historians to look at the eighteenth-and early nineteenth-century villa in its wider context. Images of the villa-real or imagines - are shown to reveal much about contemporary attitudes. The role of Andrea Palladio is re-examined through the response of architects throughout the period to his work, including Colen Campbell's Stourhead and Lord Burlington's villa at Cheswick. The range of form, planning and sources of the villa is seen and not only in Robert Adam's designs but also in the variations of the villa found in Edinburgh and Glasgow where it provided a balanced contrast between city and retreat. Later in the period, changes in the demand for houses and the urban fabric brought the villa into the city where its élitist aspirations were replaced by democratizing principles.

SilverWood Books Ltd Under One Sky
In 1938, two young women, both born in 1915, met by chance in London. Meta was a student and from Estonia, whilst Phyllis came from Croydon and worked as a secretary. Despite the vast difference in their backgrounds, they quickly became close friends. Handwritten letters fed and nurtured this significant friendship once Meta returned home, letters that remarkably survived the following decades, kept safe in a treasured family archive. "I had a terrible feeling – a feeling that the world may be wrecked”, Meta wrote to Phyllis; and, for Meta, the war did absolutely wreck her world. It was a time of fear and flight, as both Russians and Germans fought to take over Estonia. She movingly described her traumatic experiences in her letters. Phyllis, as the wife of a conscientious objector, also experienced painful challenges during the war years, though she felt that they were insignificant by contrast with Meta’s suffering. She tried to continue to support her friend, through the pages they wrote to each other with love. Despite their geographical distance and different experiences, Meta and Phyllis’s closeness endured across subsequent decades. And the connection was passed on to several generations of both their families, a line of friendship which continues to the present day.

Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Liz Phair's Exile in Guyville
Although Exile in Guyville was celebrated as one of the year's top records by Spin and the New York Times, it was also, to some, an abomination: a mockery of the Rolling Stones' most revered record and a rare glimpse into the psyche of a shrewd, independent, strong young woman. For these crimes, Liz Phair was run out of her hometown of Chicago, enduring a flame war perpetrated by writers who accused her of being boring, inauthentic, and even a poor musician. With Exile in Guyville, Phair spoke for all the girls who loved the world of indie rock but felt deeply unwelcome there. Like all great works of art, Exile was a harbinger of the shape of things to come: Phair may have undermined the male ego, but she also unleashed a new female one. For the sake of all the female artists who have benefited from her work—from Sleater-Kinney to Lana Del Rey and back again—it's high time we go back to Guyville.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Progress in Self Psychology, V. 14: The World of Self Psychology
Volume 14 of Progress in Self Psychology, The World of Self Psychology, introduces a valuable new section to the series: publication of noteworthy material from the Kohut Archives of the Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis. In this volume, "From the Kohut Archives" features a selection of previously unpublished Kohut correspondence from the 1940s through the 1970s. The clinical papers that follow are divided into sections dealing with "Transference and Countertransference," "Selfobjects and Objects," and " Schizoid and Psychotic Patients." As Howad Bacal explains in his introduction, these papers bear witness to the way in which self psychology has increasingly become a relational self psychology - a psychology of the individual's experience in the context of relatedness. Coburn's reconstrual of "countertransference" as an experience of self-injury in the wake of unresponsiveness to the analyst's own selfobject needs; Livingston's demonstration of the ways in which dreams can be used to facilitate "a playful and metaphorical communication between analyst and patient"; Gorney's examination of twinship experience as a fundamental goal of analytic technique; and Lenoff's emphasis on the relational aspects of "phantasy selfobject experience" are among the highlights of the collection. Enlarged by contemporary perspectives on gender and self-experience and a critical examination of "Kohut, Loewald, and the Postmoderns," Volume 14 reaffirms the position of self psychology at the forefront of clinical, developmental, and conceptual advance.
