The Unraveling Psyche - Exploring the Labyrinth of the Unconscious Mind

Pasquale De Marco

Sinossi

Journey into the depths of the unconscious mind with this groundbreaking exploration of Wilfred Bion's revolutionary theories. Discover the hidden forces that shape our lives and learn how to harness their power for positive change.

For centuries, the unconscious mind has been a source of fascination and mystery. What lies beneath the surface of our conscious awareness? How does it influence our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors? And how can we access its transformative potential?

In this thought-provoking book, we embark on a journey into the unconscious mind, guided by the pioneering work of psychoanalyst Wilfred Bion. Bion's groundbreaking theories have revolutionized our understanding of the unconscious, revealing it to be a complex and dynamic system that is constantly interacting with our conscious minds.

Bion proposed that the unconscious is not a passive repository of forgotten memories and repressed desires, but rather an active and creative force that plays a vital role in our psychological development and emotional well-being. He identified two primary modes of thinking in the unconscious: the symmetrical mode, which is characterized by primitive emotions and black-and-white thinking, and the asymmetrical mode, which is characterized by more rational and logical thought.

Through Bion's lens, we will explore the role of the unconscious in our dreams, our relationships, and our creative endeavors. We will examine how the unconscious influences our behavior and our decision-making, often in ways that we are not consciously aware of. We will also explore the therapeutic potential of the unconscious, and how it can be harnessed to promote healing and personal growth.

This book is an essential guide for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the unconscious mind and its profound influence on our lives. Drawing on Bion's groundbreaking work, as well as the insights of other leading thinkers in the field, this book provides a comprehensive exploration of the unconscious mind, its structure, its dynamics, and its transformative potential.

With clarity and compassion, this book illuminates the hidden workings of the unconscious mind, revealing its vast potential for healing, growth, and transformation. It is a must-read for psychotherapists, counselors, and anyone interested in the mysteries of the human psyche.

Archetypes of Human Existence -...

John Mucai

Out of the more than seven billion people who inhabit the earth, no two are exactly the same. Even tweens have differences. And yet, the behavior of human beings can be reduced to a few archetypes. At the heart of the matter, each human being is one single entity comprised of a mind and a physical body. A mind that yearns for happiness and a body that longs for sustenance. The interplay of these two needs creates the different archetypes of humans. This book explores a few of the archetypes. It discusses how the ideas around archetypes converge to offer a new perspective on fundamental questions that existentialists have been grappling with for ages. The people described in the second chapter of the book are entirely fictitious. Any resemblance of their names to real people is purely coincidental. However, the characters are real and live among us. You may recognize some of them in your local community, your network of friends, or even in other human networks to which you are directly or indirectly connected.

Chinese Mythology - Legends...

Christiano Farrezi

Chinese mythology is a rich and intricate tapestry of stories, legends, and beliefs that have shaped the cultural and spiritual landscape of China for millennia. These myths not only entertain but also convey moral lessons, cultural values, and historical narratives that resonate deeply with the Chinese people. In a society where tradition and heritage are highly esteemed, mythology plays a vital role in connecting individuals to their past, providing a framework for understanding their identity and place in the world. 
The role of mythology in Chinese culture extends beyond mere storytelling; it serves as a lens through which people view the cosmos, nature, and humanity's place within it. Myths explain natural phenomena, the creation of the world, and the origins of important cultural practices, creating a sense of continuity and belonging across generations. Characters such as the Dragon, a symbol of power and auspiciousness, and the Jade Emperor, a central deity in Taoist cosmology, exemplify the deep-rooted connections between mythology and cultural identity. These figures embody qualities that the Chinese people aspire to, reinforcing ideals of strength, wisdom, and harmony.

Blood and Treasure - The...

Duncan Weldon

Wars are expensive, both in human terms and monetary ones. But while warfare might be costly it has also, at times, been an important driver of economic change and progress. Over the long span of history nothing has shaped human institutions—and thus the process of economic development—as much as war and violence. Wars made states and states made wars. As the costs of warfighting grew so did state structures, taxation systems and national markets for debt. And as warfare became ever more destructive the incentive for governments to resort to it changed too. 
 
Blood and Treasure looks at the history and economics of warfare from the Viking Age to the war in Ukraine, examining how incentives and institutions have changed over the centuries. It surveys how warfare helped drive Europe's rise to global prominence, and it explains how the total wars of the twentieth century required a new type of strategy, one that took economics seriously. 
 
Underpinning this riveting narrative is a focus on how and why the economics of conflict have changed over time. This is a story of how economics can help to explain the motivations of war, and how understanding the history of warfare can help explain modern economics.
