The Widower's Notebook
Author: Jonathan Santlofer
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0143132490
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
Written with unexpected humor and great warmth, The Widower's Notebook is a portrait of a marriage, an account of the complexities of finding oneself single again after losing your spouse, and a story of the enduring power of familial love. "This is deeply moving ... beautifully written and modulated, with a dollop of droll, black humor. It is such an achievement, like running uphill against a strong wind."--Joyce Carol Oates On a summer day in New York Jonathan Santlofer discovers his wife, Joy, gasping for breath on their living room couch. After a frenzied 911 call, an ambulance race across Manhattan, and hours pacing in a hospital waiting room, a doctor finally delivers the fateful news. Consumed by grief, Jonathan desperately tries to pursue life as he always had--writing, social engagements, and working on his art--but finds it nearly impossible to admit his deep feelings of loss to anyone, not even his to beloved daughter, Doria, or to himself. As Jonathan grieves and heals, he tries to unravel what happened to Joy, a journey that will take him nearly two years.

Loving and Curing the Neurotic
Author: Anna Alberdina Antoinette Terruwe
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 506
Book Description
"This breakthrough book is the product of many years of rethinking the psychology and psychopathology of the 'normal' man: a rethinking triggered by the authors' disenchantment with the philosophy and therapy of psychoanalysis, with its emphasis on the psychology of the 'abnormal' individual. "As psychiatrists and as Christians," write Doctors Terruwe and Baars, "we are not satisfied with merely restoring our patients to their former level of usefulness in society. We want to go beyond utilitarian criteria of performance or adjustment and assist our patients in attaining that level of happiness commensurate with their potentials." The failure of traditional therapy to help many of their patients led the authors to the formulation of a new theory of neurosis - the frustration neurosis. In this massive book the authors unfold this new theory, deeply rooted in Aristotelian and Thomistic philosophy, in as style accessible to both the professional and the intelligent layman. Happily so, since this massive work will be a boon to clergymen, social workers and anyone counselling troubled people. Needless to add, its importance to psychiatrists can hardly be exaggerated. Some of our most creative and intelligent people are emotionally ill. But they can be cured. In clinical detail, with a wealth of case histories, the authors show ho their new theory has proved itself in daily counselling. Doctors Terruwe and Baars are well aware that their theory of frustration neurosis is a challenge to the other schools of psychiatry. For one thing, some of their ideas are rooted in the insights of philosophers whom most psychiatrists have tended to ignore. Yet the proof is in the results, and the authors set forth an impressive record. Every open-minded psychiatrist - indeed everyone who works in counselling - will want to give Doctors Terruwe and Baars a careful reading." --

The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge
Author: Rainer Maria Rilke
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307787761
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
This is the definitive, widely acclaimed translation of the major prose work of one of our century's greatest poets -- "a masterpiece like no other" (Elizabeth Hardwick) -- Rilke's only novel, extraordinary for its structural uniqueness and purity of language. First published in 1910, it has proven to be one of the most influential and enduring works of fiction of our century. Malte Laurids Brigge is a young Danish nobleman and poet living in Paris. Obsessed with death and with the reality that lurks behind appearances, Brigge muses on his family and their history and on the teeming, alien life of the city. Many of the themes and images that occur in Rilke's poetry can also be found in the novel, prefiguring the modernist movement in its self-awareness and imagistic immediacy.
