The Perverse Feminine resurrects a long-buried psychic figure: The Perverse Feminine Archetype. Grounded in Intuitive Inquiry, this work builds on Jungian theory, feminist psychology, and myth to illuminate the archetypal constructs of forbidden power, deviant desire, and inherited shame shaping the collective psyche of cisgender women. Across careers, relationships, and inner lives, women in this study enliven the perverse through acts of subversion, refusal, creative expression, and sexual exploration. Through their stories, a meditation on the unconscious unfolds, unveiling the archetypal dimension as a portal to healing and integration. Distilled from the data, a four-stage framework maps the psychological journeys of research participants across the evolving inner landscapes, where pain, power, and transformation intertwine. Through evocative narratives that generate tools for archetypal engagement, this study offers individuals, theorists, and clinicians a guide to identity, self-discovery, and psychic wholeness within a rapidly changing cultural landscape.

In Statistics as Principled Argument, first published in 1995, Robert P. Abelson exposes the often-overlooked problems in quantitative data interpretation, and the challenge of presenting the data in terms of a coherent narrative about one's research. This classic edition offers a new introduction which views Abelson's work through a contemporary lens, highlighting how his teachings remain vitally relevant today. The focus of the book is that the purpose of statistics is to organize a useful argument from quantitative evidence, using a form of principled rhetoric. Five criteria, described by the acronym MAGIC (magnitude, articulation, generality, interestingness, and credibility) are proposed as crucial features of a persuasive, principled argument. Statistical methods are discussed, but with minimum use of formulas and heavy data sets. The ideas throughout the book revolve around elementary probability theory, t-tests, and simple issues of research design. Many examples are included to explain the connection of statistics to substantive claims about real phenomena. This remarkably engaging read is filled with fascinating real-life (and real research) examples rather than simply recipes for analysis. Abelson’s insights generate true interest for beginning graduate students and seasoned researchers alike, and will be invaluable to students, scholars, researchers, and practitioners who use statistics within their research.
