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development in Brazil than Bion and this collection of his seminars presented here for the first time acts as a historical document and testament to his legacy in contemporary analysis.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

An Analysis of W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne's Blue Ocean Strategy How to Create Uncontested Market Space

An Analysis of W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne's Blue Ocean Strategy How to Create Uncontested Market Space

In Blue Ocean Strategy W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne tackle the central problem facing all businesses: how to perform better than your competitors? Their solution involves taking a creative approach to the normal view of competition. In the normal framework competition is a zero-sum game: if there are two companies competing for the same market as one does better the other has to do worse. The authors’ creative leap is to suggest one can beat the competition by not competing. Companies should avoid confronting competitors in crowded marketplaces what they call “red oceans ” and instead seek out new markets or “blue oceans. ” Once the blue oceans have been identified companies can get down to the task of creating unique products which exploit that market. Chan and Mauborgne argue for example that a wine company might decide to start appealing to a group previously uninterested in wine. This would be a “blue ocean” market giving the winemaker a huge advantage which they could exploit by creating a wine that appealed to the tastes of a beer-drinking demographic. A classic of business writing Blue Ocean Strategy is creative thinking and problem solving at its best. | An Analysis of W.

An Analysis of Alfred W. Crosby's The Columbian Exchange Biological and Cultural Consequences of 1492

An Analysis of Alfred W. Crosby's The Columbian Exchange Biological and Cultural Consequences of 1492

One criticism of history is that historians all too often study it in isolation failing to take advantage of models and evidence from scholars in other disciplines. This is not a charge that can be laid at the door of Alfred Crosby. His book The Columbian Exchange not only incorporates the results of wide reading in the hard sciences anthropology and geography but also stands as one of the foundation stones of the study of environmental history. In this sense Crosby's defining work is undoubtedly a fine example of the critical thinking skill of creativity; it comes up with new connections that explain the European success in colonizing the New World more as the product of biological catastrophe (in the shape of the introduction of new diseases) than of the actions of men and posits that the most important consequences were not political – the establishment of new empires – but cultural and culinary; the population of China tripled for example as the result of the introduction of new world crops. Few new hypotheses have proved as stimulating or influential. | An Analysis of Alfred W. Crosby's The Columbian Exchange Biological and Cultural Consequences of 1492

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.

The Frankfurt School The Critical Theories of Max Horkheimer and Theodor W. Adorno

The Frankfurt School The Critical Theories of Max Horkheimer and Theodor W. Adorno

The Frankfurt School refers to a school of neo-Marxist interdisciplinary social theory particular established at the Institute for Social Research at the University of Frankfurt Germany in 1923. Tarr's investigation focuses on three key issues. The first is the Frankfurt School's original program of providing a general theory of modern capitalist society. The second is the claim to represent a continuation of the original Marxian theory through the school's Critical Theory. The third is the scientific validity of Critical Theory in light of the generally accepted canons of the natural and social sciences. Tarr proposes that in the last analysis Critical Theory is simply another existentialist philosophy. As such it is a specific expression of certain socio-historical conditions and of the situation of a particular social group the marginal Jewish bourgeois intelligentsia of Central Europe. This European-Jewish contribution became apparent after the great metaphysical impulse of the pre-Socratic and Platonic-Aristotelian philosophies had run their respective courses. Both philosophies represented philosophical schools of ethics and both wanted to help man take up a defense against the storms of passions and fate. It was from these ancient sources that the Frankfurt School emerged. The Frankfurt School derived its impetus in the twentieth century in which Tarr claims a shift occurred from the ontological to the subjective realm. This in turn led to deep changes in philosophical theory and practice which led to a more psychologically oriented mode of social thought. This in-depth study covers the entire career of the Frankfurt School's Critical Theory from 1923 to 1974. It does so by applying the same standards of criticism to its primary doctrines as it turned on other theories but with a keen sense of balance and fairness. | The Frankfurt School The Critical Theories of Max Horkheimer and Theodor W. Adorno
