The book would make a perfect company with the new ‘I’ of computer culture, especially for those who expect something special. In a uniquely historical setting, we are about to experience the rise of a fundamental human force. We vacillate between moments, whether things around us are transfigured and seem to be there for the first time or things tend to lose all their weight and all meaning becomes obscured, and we ask about the real self. The author argues passionately that the real self, its inevitability in fact lies in the practice of its own negation. The book proposes the logos needed for a discourse as what makes us the speaker for the fist time. The key is the self-discovery of a dialectical doublet: the thinking self and negation. Where the logos makes use of idle thought, the surplus stored in the sexual energies of the species, which would be otherwise wasted, it simply becomes a piece of existence moving toward the ultimate unity of Nature and civilization by holding on to its negation. This may serve as an antithesis needed to advance the psychology of the so-called intellectuals who are locked to the suggestions of the status quo.
The focus of this book is to facilitate spiritual healing through recognition of internal power over self defeating behavior. Skills are offered to neutralize the negativity that interferes with healthy communication. The reader will learn how to tap into positive energy to maintain focus. The goal is to empower you to take control of your life. Exposure to positive and negative forces unseen serves to awaken/focus or manipulate/confuse the inner spirit (light of the Divine Creator). Mastery of essential tools defines the internal experience. We are all engaged at one point or another. Success brings us to the next stage of our continuing journey, serving to raise us to higher levels of awareness. As we accept responsibility for sharpening our own focus, we redefine and come to a greater understanding of what motivates as well as what inhibits us. In doing so, we become an island of calm for ourselves and others immune to illusion. The promise of this book is to help you to embrace the greatness within yourself.
If the gods realize Lexi is the daughter of Hades and Persephone, she’ll become their next sacrifice. Lexi’s only path to safety is to free her father from the prison the other gods have trapped him in. To do so, she must enlist the help of a loyal and gorgeous hellhound, and an obnoxious but sexy hero. No one warned her about the trials that await. The maze that threatens to consume her. The rampaging champion who can kill her with a single blow. And the vengeful ex who would slaughter them all without a second thought. And she definitely wasn’t warned about the loves fate has in store for her. When she discovers Cerberus’ and Actaeon’s lies, she may lose both her heart and her life, regardless of what fate wants. Author’s Note: Truth’s Harem is a #WhyChoose series, with an older heroine who finds her happily ever after with three partners over the length of the series.
This volume is currently the only textbook devoted to the study of the self. Republished in its original form by Psychology Press in 2007, it carefully documents the changing conceptions and the value accorded the self in psychology over time.

Illusion, Disillusion, and Irony in Psychoanalysis explores and develops the role of illusion and daydream in everyday life, and in psychoanalysis. Using both clinical examples and literary works, idealised illusions and the inevitable disillusion that is met when reality makes an impact, are carefully explored. Idealised phantasies which involve a timeless universe inevitably lead to disillusion in the face of reality which introduces an awareness of time, ageing, and eventually death. If the illusions are recognised as phantasy rather than treated as fact, the ideal can be internalised as a symbol and serve as a measure of excellence. Steiner shows that the cruelty of truth needs to be recognised, as well as the deceptive nature of illusion, and that relinquishing omnipotence is a critical and difficult developmental task that is relived in analysis. Illusion, Disillusion, and Irony in Psychoanalysis will be of great use to the psychoanalyst or psychotherapist seeking to understand the patient’s withdrawal into a phantasy world, and the struggle to allow the impact of reality.
Torture is not as universally condemned as it once was. From Guantánamo and Abu Ghraib prisons to the death of Giulio Regeni, countless recent cases have shocked public opinion. But if we want to defend the human dignity that torture violates, simple indignation is not enough. In this important book, Donatella Di Cesare provides a critical perspective on torture in all its dimensions. She seeks to capture the peculiarity of an extreme and methodical violence where the tormentor calculates and measures out pain so that he can hold off the victim’s death, allowing him to continue to exercise his sovereign power. For the victim, being tortured is like experiencing his own death while he is still alive. Torture is a threat wherever the defenceless find themselves in the hands of the strong: in prisons, in migrant camps, in nursing homes, in centres for the disabled and in institutions for minors. This impassioned book will appeal to students and scholars of philosophy and political theory as well as to anyone committed to defending human rights as universal and inviolable.
Wiggling a pencil so that it looks like it is made of rubber, "stealing" your niece's nose, and listening for the sounds of the ocean in a conch shell– these are examples of folk illusions, youthful play forms that trade on perceptual oddities. In this groundbreaking study, K. Brandon Barker and Claiborne Rice argue that these easily overlooked instances of children's folklore offer an important avenue for studying perception and cognition in the contexts of social and embodied development. Folk illusions are traditionalized verbal and/or physical actions that are performed with the intention of creating a phantasm for one or more participants. Using a cross-disciplinary approach that combines the ethnographic methods of folklore with the empirical data of neuroscience, cognitive science, and psychology, Barker and Rice catalogue over eighty discrete folk illusions while exploring the complexities of embodied perception. Taken together as a genre of folklore, folk illusions show that people, starting from a young age, possess an awareness of the illusory tendencies of perceptual processes as well as an awareness that the distinctions between illusion and reality are always communally formed.
