The Uncanny Rise of Medical Hypnotism, 1888–1914: Between Imagination and Suggestion (Mental Health in Historical Perspective)
by Gordon David BatesThis book explores the improbable rise of medical hypnotism in Victorian Britain and its subsequent assimilation and neglect. It follows the careers of the ‘New Hypnotists’: Charles Lloyd Tuckey, John Milne Bramwell, George Kingsbury and Robert Felkin. This loosely knit group all trained with the Suggestion School of Nancy and published books on hypnotism. They had to confront the many public and medical prejudices against the trance state which had persisted after the scandalous disgrace of John Elliotson and medical mesmerism, fifty years before. Hypnotism was a highly contested technology and in the 1890s the debates about safety and utility were fought in the national newspapers as well as the medical journals. The new hypnotists took on the might of the medical institutions personified by Ernest Hart, Editor of the British Medical Journal. However their timing was propitious, as the rise of faith-healing forced the medical profession to confront the non-physical therapeutic aspects of the doctor-patient relationship. The hypnotic discourse was shaped by these developments, but also by the fascination of the general public, novelists, occultists, psychic investigators, educationalists and spiritualists in the myriad possibilities of the trance state. Despite growing interest in the prehistory of British psychology and talking therapies, and the recent challenges to the primacy of Freudian histories, there are few accounts of the development of British ‘eclectic therapy’. This book uses the New Hypnotists as a lens to examine Victorian medicine and society, exploring their role in establishing the term ‘psychotherapy,’ and legitimising medical hypnotism, a precursor of psychological therapies.
Uncanny Modernity: Cultural Theories, Modern Anxieties
by Jo CollinsThis book explores the sense in which the uncanny may be a distinctively modern experience, the way these unnerving feelings and unsettling encounters disturb the rational presumptions of the modern world view and the security of modern self-identity, just as the latter may themselves be implicated in the production of these experiences as uncanny.
The Uncanny (Penguin Modern Classics)
by Sigmund Freud Hugh Haughton David McLintockAn extraordinary collection of thematically linked essays, including THE UNCANNY, SCREEN MEMORIES and FAMILY ROMANCES.Leonardo da Vinci fascinated Freud primarily because he was keen to know why his personality was so incomprehensible to his contemporaries. In this probing biographical essay he deconstructs both da Vinci's character and the nature of his genius. As ever, many of his exploratory avenues lead to the subject's sexuality - why did da Vinci depict the naked human body the way hedid? What of his tendency to surround himself with handsome young boys that he took on as his pupils? Intriguing, thought-provoking and often contentious, this volume contains some of Freud's best writing.

Unbelievable: Why We Believe and Why We Don't
by Graham WardWhy believe? What kinds of things do people believe in? How have they come to believe them? And how does what they believe – or disbelieve – shape their lives and the meaning the world has for them? For Graham Ward, who is one of the most innovative writers on contemporary religion, these questions are more than just academic. They go to the heart not only of who but of what we are as human beings. Over the last thirty years, our understandings of mind and consciousness have changed in important ways through exciting new developments in neuroscience. The author addresses this quantum shift by exploring the biology of believing. He offers sustained reflection on perception, cognition, time, emotional intelligence, knowledge and sensation. Though the 'truth' of belief remains under increasing attack, in a thoroughly secularized context, Ward boldly argues that secularity is itself a form of believing. Pointing to the places where prayer and dreams intersect, this book offers a remarkable journey through philosophy, theology and culture, thereby revealing the true nature of the human condition.

Unapologetically You: Harness Your Individuality and Stand Out at Work
by Dorie ClarkBeing yourself has never been so important (or so lucrative).The working world has changed. In an era where the cost of living is rising and competition increasing, it's no longer good enough to have a university degree, a cushy corporate job and a strong work ethic. The once-guaranteed routes to success are leaving employees poorer and undervalued. More and more, people are finding that they have to take alternative paths to their careers - whether that's by starting a side hustle, or by finding a breakthrough idea at work, or even by quitting the rat race entirely and pursuing their own passion projects.With an increasingly educated and experienced population to contend with, discovering what makes you stand out as an individual is more important than ever - within a corporate structure, a freelance market, a virtual collective or any other workplace. So how do you do it? The answer, according to world-renowned strategy consultant Dorie Clark, is to be yourself, entirely and unapologetically.You might not know what your breakthrough idea is. Or you might know, but have no idea how to implement it. You might think you have an idea, but you don't trust yourself enough to pursue it. Regardless of what's holding you back, this book will teach you how to burst through that barrier and establish yourself as an individual thought leader - and it starts with being true to who you are. Drawing on interviews from some of the most influential thought leaders in the world, including Seth Godin, Daniel Pink and David Allen, Clark shows you how to break through the clamour of everyday life, understand yourself and your worth, and ultimately inspire others to embrace your vision.Unapologetically You is a manifesto for individuality. Whoever you are, whatever your perspective, your ideas matter. The world won't wait for you. It needs your insights, and now is the time to be bold, daring and unapologetic.
The Unanswered Self: The Masterson Approach to the Healing of Personality Disorder
by Candace OrcuttJames F. Masterson pioneered an innovative clinical approach to the dynamic psychotherapy of personality disorder, based on a steadily evolving synthesis of his own theory and interchange with other leaders in the field. Together with these originating minds, he established greater appreciation of mother-child attachment for shaping the personality -- the basis for the effectiveness of a parallel therapeutic relationship in later healing of early relational failure. Masterson holds that borderline, narcissistic, and schizoid conditions begin when growth of outer relationship and inner object relatedness is inhibited at focal stages of the beginning development of the self. A therapeutic relationship addressed to the specific developmental needs of a troubled personality, he believes, frees the natural progress of the self toward fulfilment. This review of Masterson’s legacy cites his later integration of neurobiology as well as attachment theory, and considers inclusion of such post-Masterson concepts as self-state theory. Clinical examples are offered throughout to illustrate this dynamic Approach to a therapeutic challenge now at the forefront of today’s caseloads.

Umgang mit Heterogenität im Mathematikunterricht: Adaptives Lehrerhandeln beim Modellieren (Mathematik im Fokus)
by Dominik Leiss Natalie TropperHeterogenität im Klassenraum bzw. der adäquate Umgang mit individuellen Schülervoraussetzungen als zentrale unterrichtliche Herausforderung für Lehrerinnen und Lehrer stellt aktuell ein in pädagogischen Zusammenhängen viel diskutiertes Thema dar. In diesem Kontext befasst sich das vorliegende Buch mit Lehrerinterventionen beim mathematischen Modellieren als spezifischem Aspekt des Umgangs mit Heterogenität im schulischen Fachunterricht. Den Kern des Werks stellt die Beschreibung einer empirischen Studie dar, in der Lehrerinterventionen bei der selbstständigkeitsorientierten Begleitung mathematischer Modellierungsprozesse von Schülerinnen und Schülern explorativ untersucht wurden. Sowohl qualitative Fallanalysen als auch Häufigkeitsauswertungen der beobachteten Lehrerinterventionen zeigen auf, dass das Intervenieren während selbstständigkeitsorientierter Lernphasen ein komplexes Unterfangen darstellt und dass Lehrpersonen über ein differenziertes Handlungsrepertoire verfügen müssen, um individuelle Lernprozesse in heterogenen Schülergruppen adaptiv unterstützen zu können.
Umgang mit Grenzverletzungen: Professionelle Standards und ethische Fragen in der Psychotherapie (Psychotherapie: Praxis)
by Andrea SchleuDas Buch setzt sich lebendig und anhand vieler anschaulicher Beispiele mit schwierigen Behandlungssituationen in der Psychotherapie auseinander. Einen Orientierungsrahmen bieten Ethikleitlinien, Berufsordnung und wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse, die jedoch keine abschließenden Antworten geben können. Das Buch führt in einen offenen Diskurs über den Umgang mit Irrtum, Verwicklung, Grenzen und Grenzverletzungen, von dem sowohl Aus- und Weiterbildungsteilnehmer als auch erfahrene Kollegen profitieren können. Vor dem Hintergrund des aktuellen Stands der Forschung und der rechtlichen Rahmenbedingung wird jenseits von Tabuisierung und Schweigen ein hilfreicher Umgang mit der Dynamik von Grenzverletzungen und Machtmissbrauch in der Psychotherapie entwickelt. Die teils gravierenden Folgen für Patienten und Psychotherapeuten sowie die gesamte Profession werden eingehend erörtert und Maßnahmen zur Prävention dargestellt. Aus dem Inhalt: Grenzverletzungen – Abstinenzverletzungen – Machtmissbrauch – Machtgefälle – Behandlungsfehler – Regelverstöße – Nebenwirkungen – Therapieschäden – professionelle und ethische Standards in der Psychotherapie – Ethikverein – Folgetherapie – Prävention – politische Konsequenzen. Die Autorin: Dr. med. Andrea Schleu, Fachärztin für Psychotherapeutische Medizin und Innere Medizin, Psychoanalyse (DGPT), EMDR (EMDRIA), Spez. Psychotraumatologie (DeGPT), Supervision (DGSv), Dozentin, Referentin, Beraterin und Vorsitzende Ethikverein e.V.
