réf. B9780810857193Paperback / softback. New. After the Reformation science superseded both religion and literature as the favored source of knowledge. As people became free of a catechism of rote responses they found the concept of self-determination both liberating and terrifying. Literature stepped in by providing examples of fictional characters that made choices in circumstances similar to the quandaries faced by readers-situations that could not be easily resolved by scripture alone. As a critical theory dialogism makes our literary heritage germane. It offers a strategy for readers to improve their immediate lives through literary insights. It also offers a means to employ literary theory to reveal overlooked clues and lingering inhibitions embedded in past literature that can affect the reader's present life. In Revising Life Through Literature: Dialogical Change from the Reformation through Postmodernism Joyce Brotton cites topical examples of the past several centuries to argue the relevancy of literary works to everyday existence. Each chapter opens with a philosophical background that identifies conflict arising from a dichotomy between religion and science followed by a literary discussion of works that respond to the needs of that age. Included in her discussion are King Lear The Duchess of Malfi Paradise Lost Candide Wuthering Heights and Adam Bede. More recent examples include James Joyce's Ulysses John Fowles' The French Lieutenant's Woman Julian Barnes' The History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters and Margaret Atwood's The Blind Assassin. This book is more than a teaching vehicle; it focuses on the parallel power of the imagination to create situations that may not reflect exactly the reader's own needs but can boost confidence by offering a range of options for coping with life. This absorbing entertaining and informative resource encourages readers to use literature for relevancy rather than as a mere distraction. paperback

réf. A9780415813396Paperback / softback. New. Psychoanalytic Collisions Second Edition wrestles with a theme that confronts every psychotherapist: the gap between illusions and realities about the professional self. Joyce Slochower closely examines situations in which the therapist's professional and personal wishes collide with the actuality of everyday clinical work. The book unpacks the dynamics of these collisions on both beginning and seasoned therapists offering ways of sustaining a professional ideal while also exploring the mixed impact of that ideal on clinical work. In examining how illusions and ideals affect the therapeutic encounter for both better and worse Psychoanalytic Collisions invites the reader into the consulting room. This Second Edition has been substantially revised. It includes updated clinical and theoretical material as well as a new chapter about mutual idealizations that coalesce between patient and analyst. Slochower argues that psychoanalytic collisions can be productively engaged even if they often cannot be fully resolved.The very act of engagement-whether by establishing new grounds for collaboration in the wake of real-world catastrophe wrestling with clinical impasses that arise from the divergent expectations of analyst and patient or owning up to and addressing the analyst's "secret delinquencies"-reveals how therapeutic hopefulness can coexist with an acceptance of the analyst's all-too-human fallibility. Psychoanalytic Collisions shows how idealization is intrinsic both to forging an analytic identity and practicing across a lifetime. Slochower's work challenges readers to confront their own vulnerabilities and limits while also embracing a professional ideal that is at once human and inspiring. The book is an essential resource for psychoanalysts psychotherapists pastoral counselors and readers interested in the practice of psychotherapy today. paperback
