The Clinical Thinking of W. R. Bion in Brazil Supervisions and Commentaries

The Clinical Thinking of W. R. Bion in Brazil Supervisions and Commentaries

The Clinical Thinking of W. R. Bion in Brazil is comprised of thirteen transcriptions of supervisions Wilfred Bion conducted during his three teaching and speaking tours of Brazil. During these tours Bion conducted over 130 public supervisions of analytic cases in English in which he explained his theories and illustrated their clinical application. Following on from the first volume Bion in Brazil: Supervisions and Commentaries (2017) this book presents each supervision in full with an accompanying commentary written by a senior Brazilian psychoanalyst and Bionian scholar. Arguably no psychoanalyst has had as much impact on psychoanalytic development in Brazil than Bion and this collection of his seminars presented here for the first time acts as a historical document and testament to his legacy in contemporary analysis. The Clinical Thinking of W. R. Bion in Brazil provides a unique opportunity for contemporary psychoanalysts candidates and students to hear the distinctive ‘voice’ of Bion observe how he listens in conversation and learn how he would intervene in and interpret a clinical situation. | The Clinical Thinking of W.

George W. Bush's Foreign Policies Principles and Pragmatism

George W. Bush's Foreign Policies Principles and Pragmatism

This book offers a fresh assessment of George W. Bush’s foreign policies. It is not designed to offer an evaluation of the totality of George W. Bush’s foreign policy. Instead the analysis will focus on the key aspects of his foreign and security policy record in each case considering the interplay between principle and pragmatism. The underpinning contention here is that policy formulation and implementation across Bush’s two terms can more usefully be analysed in terms of shades of grey rather than the black and white hues in which it has often been painted. Thus in some key policy areas it will be seen that the overall record was more pragmatic and successful than his many critics have been prepared to give him credit for. The president and his advisers were sometimes prepared to alter and amend their policy direction on occasion significantly. Context and personalities interpersonal and interagency both played a role here. Where these came together most visibly – for instance in connection with dual impasses over Iraq and Iran – exigencies on the ground sometimes found expression in personnel changes. In turn the changing fortunes of Bush’s first term principals presaged policy changes in his second. What emerges from a more detached study of key aspects of the Bush administration – during a complicated and challenging period in the United States’ post-Cold War history marked by the dramatic emergence of international Islamist terrorism as the dominant international security threat – is a more complex picture than any generalization can ever hope to sustain regardless of how often it is repeated. This book will be of much interest to students of US foreign policy international politics and security studies. | George W. Bush's Foreign Policies Principles and Pragmatism

Donald W. Winnicott and the History of the Present Understanding the Man and his Work

Donald W. Winnicott and the History of the Present Understanding the Man and his Work

In November 2015 The Winnicott Trust held a major conference in London to celebrate the forthcoming publication of the Collected Works of D. W. Winnicott. Most of the papers given then now constitute the chapters in this book. It not only reflects the ongoing contemporary relevance of Winnicott's work clinical and theoretical but these chapters demonstrate the aliveness of Winnicott's contribution as present day practitioners and academics use his ideas in their own way. The chapters range from accounts of the early developmental processes and relationships (Roussillon Murray) the psychoanalytic setting (Bolognini Bonaminio Fabozzi Joyce Hopkins) creativity and the arts (Wright Robinson) Winnicott in the outside world (Kahr Karpf) to the challenge to the psychoanalytic paradigm that Winnicott's ideas constitute (Loparic). | Donald W.

The Early Writings of Harold W. Clark and Frank Lewis Marsh

The Early Writings of Harold W. Clark and Frank Lewis Marsh

Originally published in 1995 The Early Writings of Harold W. Clark and Frank Lewis Marsh is the eighth volume in the Creationism in Twentieth Century America series reissued in 2019. The book is a collection of original writings by the prominent creationist Harold W. Clark and the biologist educator and young Earth creationist Frank Lewis Marsh. Although both were significant figures in the anti-evolutionist movement of the early 20th century unlike other members of the movement both Marsh and Clarke were trained scientists studying under eminent evolutionists of the time. Both writers struggled to reconcile new scientific understandings of geology botany and palaeontology supported by Darwin’s theory of evolution with their own creationist beliefs in genesis and flood theory. Both scientists as such began to develop their own theories of evolution that remained in line with creationist beliefs. This compact and unique collection includes the writings of Marsh and Clark from this period featuring some of their well-known works on the subject including ‘Back to Creation’ and ‘Fundamental Biology’. This volume of original sources will be of interest to academics of religion natural history and historians of the 19th century.

The Poems of W. B. Yeats Volume Two: 1890-1898

The Poems of W. B. Yeats Volume Two: 1890-1898

In this multi-volume edition the poetry of W. B. Yeats (1865–1939) is presented in full with newly-established texts and detailed wide-ranging commentary. Yeats began to write verse in the nineteenth century and over time his own arrangements of poems repeatedly revised and rearranged both texts and canon. This edition of Yeats’s poetry presents all his verse both published and unpublished including a generous selection of textual variants from the many manuscript and printed sources. The edition also supplies the most extensive commentary on Yeats’s poetry to date explaining specific references and setting poems in their contexts; it also gives an account of the vast range of both literary and historical influences at work on the verse. The poems are presented in order of composition and major revisions or rewritings of poems result in separate inclusions (in chronological sequence) for these writings as they were subsequently reconceived by the poet. In this second volume the poems of Yeats’s early maturity emerge in the contexts of his engagement with Irish history and myth along with nationalist politics; his increasing involvement with ritual magic and esoteric lore; and his turbulent often unhappy personal life. The poems of The Countess Kathleen and Various Legends and Lyrics (1892) reveal a poet of intense narrative power and metaphorical resource adept at transforming miscellaneous sources into haunting and original poems. A major revision of his earlier narrative ‘The Wanderings of Oisin’ takes place in this decade when Yeats is also taken up with the composition of elaborate and uncanny symbolic lyrics many of them resulting from his love for Maud Gonne that are finally collected in The Wind Among the Reeds (1899). This edition makes it possible to trace in detail Yeats’s debts to folklore and magic alongside his involved and often difficult private and public life in poetry of exceptional complexity and power. | The Poems of W. B. Yeats Volume Two: 1890-1898

Preventing Industrial Accidents Reappraising H. W. Heinrich – More than Triangles and Dominoes

Preventing Industrial Accidents Reappraising H. W. Heinrich – More than Triangles and Dominoes

Herbert William Heinrich has been one of the most influential safety pioneers. His work from the 1930s/1940s affects much of what is done in safety today – for better and worse. Heinrich’s work is debated and heavily critiqued by some while others defend it with zeal. Interestingly few people who discuss the ideas have ever read his work or looked into its backgrounds; most do so based on hearsay secondary sources or mere opinion. One reason for this is that Heinrich’s work has been out of print for decades: it is notoriously hard to find and quality biographical information is hard to get. Based on some serious safety archaeology which provided access to many of Heinrich’s original papers books and rather rich biographical information this book aims to fill this gap. It deals with the life and work of Heinrich the context he worked in and his influences and legacy. The book defines the main themes in Heinrich’s work and discusses them paying attention to their origins the developments that came from them interpretations and attributions and the critiques that they may have attracted over the years. This includes such well-known ideas and metaphor as the accident triangle the accident sequence (dominoes) the hidden cost of accidents the human element and management responsibility. This book is the first to deal with the work and legacy of Heinrich as a whole based on a unique richness of material and approaching the matter from several (new) angles. It also reflects on Heinrich’s relevance for today’s safety science and practice. | Preventing Industrial Accidents Reappraising H. W. Heinrich – More than Triangles and Dominoes

Four Philosophical Anglicans W.G. De Burgh W.R. Matthews O.C. Quick H.A. Hodges

Four Philosophical Anglicans W.G. De Burgh W.R. Matthews O.C. Quick H.A. Hodges

Professor Sell explores the lives and ideas of four unjustly neglected Anglican philosophers: W. G. De Burgh (1866-1943); W. R. Matthews (1881-1973); O. C. Quick (1885-1944); H. A. Hodges (1905-1976). This study fills an important gap in the history of twentieth-century philosophical and theological thought. Sell argues that these writers covered a wide range of philosophical topics in an illuminating way and that a comparison of their respective standpoints and methods is instructive from the point of view of the viability or otherwise of Christian philosophizing. He discusses the challenges these four philosophical Anglicans issued to certain important trends in the philosophy and theology of their day and argues that some of them are of continuing relevance. | Four Philosophical Anglicans W.

Genres and Provenance in the Comedy of W.S. Gilbert Pipes and Tabors

Genres and Provenance in the Comedy of W.S. Gilbert Pipes and Tabors

In The Progress of Fun W. S. Gilbert was considered not as a ‘classic Victorian’ but as part of an on-going comedic continuum stretching from Aristophanes to Joe Orton and beyond. Pipes and Tabors continues the story covering the comedic experience differently by reference to genres. Here – treated in relation to a line of significant others – we discover how Gilbert responded to areas such as the Pastoral the Irish drama nautical scenarios melodrama sensation-theatre the nonsensemode pantomime spectaculars fairy plays and classical farce. Also included is a wider look at his relation to various European musical forms and (for instance) to the English line of wit and the Elizabethan pamphleteers. To consider a writer not so much by a study of individual works as by threads of linking generic modes tells us a great deal about cultural interconnections and the richly textured nature of theatrical experience. Pipes and Tabors offers a tapestry of overlapping genres and treatments showing not just the design of the finished products but the shreds and patches which form the underside of the weave. According to Dorothy L. Sayers life itself offers us the apparent loose ends of a design which will only be revealed from the front after death. In terms of Gilbertian comedy we are privileged to be able to track both the effort of the weave and the skill of the finished product. On the way we will also discover some new links and sub-text implications about other 19th century denigrated groups which were buried from sight for too long. | Genres and Provenance in the Comedy of W.
