Making Sense of Hearing Voices


This magnificent book brings together in one volume all thetheory, learning, research, wisdom from practice and practical examples of therevolutionary work of Marius Romme, Sandra Escher and Dirk Corstens intosupporting people who hear voices. Challenging the fundamental premises ofmainstream psychiatry, Romme, Escher and Corstens have pioneered their approachof 'making sense of voices' since the 1980s. They were the first to listen toand talk with the voices of voice hearers, and to realise that the identitiesof the voices and what they had to say held huge meaning in the contexts ofvoice hearers' lives. These were not hallucinations or delusions but phenomenawhose words offered clues both to the person's history (frequently of childhoodabuse and severe trauma) and how they might be helped to learn to live withtheir voices and recover. For far too many people, the blunt interventionspreferred by mainstream psychiatry - incarceration in psychiatric institutions,loss of independence and long-term reliance on welfare and heavy doses ofneuroleptics and tranquillisers - had in fact robbed them of the mental andemotional capacity and external resources they needed to help themselves. This book explains the history and reports the wealth of researchconducted to support this way of working, together with detailed practicaladvice on how to use the approach with voice hearers. Drawing on the accountsof numerous voice hearers, in addition to the clinical research, this book isthe go-to resource for those who hear voices, the people who love and supportthem and those whose work brings them into contact with voice hearers and whowish to help them find ways to negotiate a positive relationship with theirsometimes unwelcome and vociferous companions. Unlikemedication, this approach works, has no distressing side effects, and canenable the person to co-exist with the voices that they find helpful, whileothers that could be hostile and even seemingly evil, can be managed or even goaway. Once heeded, their messages, which could often be attempts to protect thevoice hearer, were no longer needed.

A Case of Hysteria


''I very soon had an opportunity to interpret Dora''s nervous coughing as the outcome of a fantasized sexual situation.''A Case of Hysteria, popularly known as the Dora Case, affords a rare insight into how Freud dealt with patients and interpreted what they told him. The 18-year-old ''Dora'' was sent for psychoanalysis by her father after threatening suicide; as Freud''s enquiries deepened, he uncovered a remarkably unhappy and conflict-ridden family, with several competing versions of their story. The narrative became a crucial text in the evolution of his theories, combining his studies on hysteria and his new theory of dream-interpretation with early insights into the development of sexuality. The unwitting preconceptions and prejudices with which Freud approached his patient reveal his blindness and the broader attitudes of turn-of-the-century Viennese society, while his account of ''Dora''s'' emotional travails is as gripping as a modern novel.This new translation is accompanied by a substantial introduction which sets the work in its biographical, historical, and intellectual context, and offers a close and critical analysis of the text itself.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

On Psychological and Visionary Art


The first English translation of Jung’s landmark lecture on Nerval’s hallucinatory memoirIn 1945, at the end of the Second World War and after a long illness, C. G. Jung delivered a lecture in Zürich on the French Romantic poet Gérard de Nerval. The lecture focused on Nerval's visionary memoir, Aurélia, which the poet wrote in an ambivalent attempt to emerge from madness. Published here for the first time, Jung’s lecture is both a cautionary psychological tale and a validation of Nerval’s visionary experience as a genuine encounter. Nerval explored the irrational with lucidity and exquisite craft. He privileged the subjective imagination as a way of fathoming the divine to reconnect with what the Romantics called the life principle. During the years of his greatest creativity, he suffered from madness and was institutionalized eight times. Contrasting an orthodox psychoanalytic interpretation with his own synthetic approach to the unconscious, Jung explains why Nerval was unable to make use of his visionary experiences in his own life. At the same time, Jung emphasizes the validity of Nerval’s visions, differentiating the psychology of a work of art from the psychology of the artist. The lecture suggests how Jung’s own experiments with active imagination influenced his reading of Nerval’s Aurélia as a parallel text to his own Red Book. With Craig Stephenson’s authoritative introduction, Richard Sieburth’s award-winning translation of Aurélia, and Alfred Kubin’s haunting illustrations to the text, and featuring Jung’s reading marginalia, preliminary notes, and revisions to a 1942 lecture, On Psychological and Visionary Art documents the stages of Jung’s creative process as he responds to an essential Romantic text.

Key Studies in Psychology


Now in its seventh edition, this book brings together 30 classic and contemporary studies in psychology to show students how to analyse key studies in the field, understand how classic theories are constantly revisited by modern researchers, and develop the skills required to write about psychology in exams and essays.Pulled from each of the five major areas of psychology ? cognitive, developmental, individual differences, social, and biopsychology ? the studies cover such topics as language and memory, attachment, mental disorder, bystander intervention, and near-death experiences. Each chapter looks at the background and context to a classic and contemporary study and provides a summary of them, before going on to evaluate areas of agreement and convergence, disagreement and divergence, and strengths and weaknesses. Each of these areas focuses on theoretical, methodological/statistical, and ethical issues. Finally, suggestions are made regarding applications, implications, and future research directions. In so doing, the book helps students learn how to deal with primary sources, including how to extract the most relevant information, assess strengths and weaknesses, know what to look for when evaluating a study, and understand how it relates to other research.Bridging the gap from A-level to degree level study, this is the ideal resource for undergraduate students in psychology.

Effective eating disorder treatment modalities for adults continue to elude practitioners and the rates of eating disorder relapse remain staggeringly high.

Dyslexie


Vybavíte si za poslední dobu aspoň jeden den, kdy jste vůbec nic nečetli? Čtení se stalo nedílnou součástí moderní informační společnosti, představuje celoživotně důležitou dovednost. Přitom pro přibližně deset procent populace znamená problém, který je označován jako specifická porucha učení – dyslexie. Publikace představuje čtenářům tuto problematiku v celém vývoji jedince – od varovných signálů v předškolním věku až po specifické obtíže dospělých, které jsou často kombinací dyslexie a sekundárně rozvinutých psychosociálních obtíží. První kapitoly knihy se zaměřují na proces čtení, na komplikace, které při něm mohou nastat, a na to, z čeho tyto obtíže pramení i jak je identifikovat. Čtenáři se seznámí s nejnovějšími tuzemskými a zahraničními výzkumnými studiemi z oblasti neurověd, pedagogické psychologie i speciální pedagogiky, které objasňují etiologii i symptomatiku dyslexie. Druhá polovina publikace nabízí široké spektrum diagnostických i intervenčních postupů pro všechny věkové kategorie, které jsou aktuálně využívány tuzemskými i zahraničními odbornými institucemi. Klade přitom důraz na postupy, které jsou prověřené výzkumem a zajišťují komplexní rozvoj kognitivních schopností. Účel této části knihy je ryze praktický: ukázat, jak lze teoretické poznatky aplikovat do současné praxe. Dojde-li k odchylkám od běžného zvládnutí čtení, musíme si klást otázku, jaké další způsoby práce s informacemi může jedinec využívat. Kromě trénování oslabení, která z dyslexie pramení, se proto intervence zaměřují na využívání silných stránek jedince a rozvoj jeho potenciálu. Kniha je určena především poradenským pracovníkům (psychologům a speciálním pedagogům), učitelům základních i středních škol a vysokoškolským studentům všech uvedených oborů.
