Book Description
Jung presents a case study of a female prisoner experiencing hysterical stupor, offering insights into the understanding of hysteria and its presentation under the conditions of incarceration. Jung's analysis was groundbreaking for its focus on how environmental factors, like the stress of imprisonment, might trigger or exacerbate hysterical symptoms. By exploring the psychological effects of incarceration, Jung began to shape the discourse around the causes of mental illness, focusing less on inherent defects in the individual and more on their surroundings and experiences. This case study was also one of his early explorations into how trauma and emotional repression might manifest as physical symptoms, which would later form part of his broader psychoanalytic and psychotherapeutic theories. It represents an early contribution to what would later evolve into his theory of complexes and the collective unconscious. This case is an important step in Jung’s clinical career, as it illustrates his growing interest in the deeper, unconscious factors influencing mental health. His investigation also touches on the legal and ethical questions surrounding mental illness in incarcerated individuals, making it an early forensic psychiatric case. This is a new translation into American English of Jung's early 1902 "Ein Fall von hysterischem Stupor bei einer Untersuchungsgefangenen". This edition contains a new translation from the original German manuscript with an Afterword by the Translator, a philosophic index of Jung's terminology and a timeline of his life and works.

Myth Maketh Man: A Guide to the Philosophy of Jung
Author: Martin Heidegger
Publisher: Livraria Press
ISBN: 3989882910
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
This philosophical primer on the writings of Carl Gustav (C.G.) Jung is designed to introduce the lay philosopher to Jung's vast body of work, comprehensively covering his core concepts, his extensive body of publications, and his relevance to today's zeitgeist. From 1902 until the month of his death in 1961, Jung published a vast body of work in German, Italian, French, and Latin, covering a dizzying array of topics from clinical psychology to metaphysics. Many scholars have spent a lifetime studying his writings, and Jung's heavier works have historically been inaccessible to those who do not work in academia and have the time to read tens of thousands of dense philosophical texts. Beyond symbolism and archetypal (Iconographic) thinking, Jung has profoundly influenced the modern world through his contributions to personality science, the founding of analytical psychology, including the concepts of introversion and extroversion-and his perspectives on morality, politics, and religion. This critical companion covers topics such as his work with the Allies during World War II; his relationship with Albert Einstein including the impact of this relationship on both of their works; the Gnostic, Hermetic, and Manichean elements in his work; unique views on alchemy; and cosmopsychic philosophy. All of Jung's concepts are discussed in four chapters: Jung the Psychologist: The Problem of Neurosis Jung the Philosopher: The Problem of Evil Jung the Mystic: The Problem of Reality Jung the Believer: The Problem of Meaning In addition to a concise guide to all of his basic concepts, this work also includes: A timeline and biography of Jung's life An index of key philosophers who are important to understand in order to understand Jung's arguments (Plato, Aristotle, Aquinas, Descartes, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Freud, etc.) A summary of each of his 135 published works (including Aion, The Red Book, The Black Books and Wodan) An explanation of critical concepts needed to understand Jung's philosophy, such as Manichaeism, Mithraism, Zoroastrianism, Gnosticism, Stoicism, Alchemy, Scholasticism, Hermeticism, Enlightenment philosophy, Modernism (Freud) and Postmodernism (Foucault).

Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 578
Book Description
The first edition of An Aid to the MRCP Short Cases rapidly estabished itself as a classic and has sold over 25,000 copies.

Folk Devils and Moral Panics
Author: Stanley Cohen
Publisher: Taylor & Francis US
ISBN: 9780415610162
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
'Richly documented and convincingly presented' -- New Society Mods and Rockers, skinheads, video nasties, designer drugs, bogus asylum seeks and hoodies. Every era has its own moral panics. It was Stanley Cohen's classic account, first published in the early 1970s and regularly revised, that brought the term 'moral panic' into widespread discussion. It is an outstanding investigation of the way in which the media and often those in a position of political power define a condition, or group, as a threat to societal values and interests. Fanned by screaming media headlines, Cohen brilliantly demonstrates how this leads to such groups being marginalised and vilified in the popular imagination, inhibiting rational debate about solutions to the social problems such groups represent. Furthermore, he argues that moral panics go even further by identifying the very fault lines of power in society. Full of sharp insight and analysis, Folk Devils and Moral Panics is essential reading for anyone wanting to understand this powerful and enduring phenomenon. Professor Stanley Cohen is Emeritus Professor of Sociology at the London School of Economics. He received the Sellin-Glueck Award of the American Society of Criminology (1985) and is on the Board of the International Council on Human Rights. He is a member of the British Academy.

Diagnostic Interviewing
Author: Michel Hersen
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461568269
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
Over the years, in our teaching of diagnostic interviewing to graduate students in clinical psychology, psychology interns, medical students, and psychiatric residents, we have searched for appropriate reading materials that encompass theoretical rationale, clinical description, and the pragmatics of "how to. " However, surprising as it may seem, there is no one work that includes the theoretical, the clinical, and the prac tical under one cover. This being the case, we thought it would be useful to us in our pedagogic efforts if we could put together such a text. And it is to this end that we developed the outline for our multiauthored text and presented it to Plenum Press for their review. We felt then, as we do now, that the material in this book simply does not represent "the cat being skinned in yet another way. " We sincerely believe that our stu dents really do need this one, and it is to them that we dedicate Diag nostic Interviewing. Our book is divided into three parts. In the first part (General Issues), basic interviewing strategies and the mental status examination are cov ered. The bulk of the book (Parts II and III) is devoted to examination of diagnostic interviewing for the major psychiatric disorders and for spe cial populations.

KL
Author: Nikolaus Wachsmann
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1429943726
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 637
Book Description
The “deeply researched, groundbreaking” first comprehensive history of the Nazi concentration camps (Adam Kirsch, The New Yorker). In a landmark work of history, Nikolaus Wachsmann offers an unprecedented, integrated account of the Nazi concentration camps from their inception in 1933 through their demise, seventy years ago, in the spring of 1945. The Third Reich has been studied in more depth than virtually any other period in history, and yet until now there has been no history of the camp system that tells the full story of its broad development and the everyday experiences of its inhabitants, both perpetrators and victims, and all those living in what Primo Levi called “the gray zone.” In KL, Wachsmann fills this glaring gap in our understanding. He not only synthesizes a new generation of scholarly work, much of it untranslated and unknown outside of Germany, but also presents startling revelations, based on many years of archival research, about the functioning and scope of the camp system. Closely examining life and death inside the camps, and adopting a wider lens to show how the camp system was shaped by changing political, legal, social, economic, and military forces, Wachsmann produces a unified picture of the Nazi regime and its camps that we have never seen before. A boldly ambitious work of deep importance, KL is destined to be a classic in the history of the twentieth century. Praise for KL A Wall Street Journal Best Book of 2015 A Kirkus Reviews Best History Book of 2015 Finalist for the National Jewish Book Award in the Holocaust category “[A] monumental study . . . a work of prodigious scholarship . . . with agonizing human texture and extraordinary detail . . . Wachsmann makes the unimaginable palpable. That is his great achievement.” —Roger Cohen, The New York Times Book Review “Wachsmann’s meticulously detailed history is essential for many reasons, not the least of which is his careful documentation of Nazi Germany’s descent from greater to even greater madness. To the persistent question, “How did it happen?,” Wachsmann supplies voluminous answers.” —Earl Pike, The Plain Dealer (Cleveland)
