Selected papers on hysteria and other psychoneuroses

Siegmund Freud

Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

In "Selected Papers on Hysteria and Other Psychoneuroses," Sigmund Freud presents a foundational exploration of the psychological conditions that challenge conventional understanding of human behavior. Through meticulous case studies, including the seminal analysis of hysteria, Freud introduces his revolutionary theories on the unconscious mind, defense mechanisms, and the significance of childhood experiences. Written in a meticulous and rigorous literary style, these papers not only lay the groundwork for psychoanalytic theory but also reflect the cultural and scientific zeitgeist of late 19th-century Europe, where the interplay of emerging psychology and the complexities of human emotion was ripe for exploration. Sigmund Freud, a neurologist by training and the father of psychoanalysis, crafted this compilation during a period of intense intellectual curiosity and societal change. Influenced by contemporaries in both medicine and philosophy, Freud drew on his clinical experiences and innovative ideas from neurology to challenge prevailing notions about mental health. His profound engagement with sexuality, repression, and interpersonal dynamics informs his perspective on psychoneuroses, presenting an evolving understanding of psychiatric disorders that captures the intricacies of the human psyche. This book is indispensable for anyone interested in psychology, psychiatry, or the historical development of psychoanalysis. Freud's incisive observations and innovative theories continue to resonate in modern discussions of mental health and emotional well-being, making this collection not only a pivotal academic resource but also a gateway to understanding the depths of human behavior.

The Growth Mindset Workbook -...

PhD Elaine Elliott-Moskwa, PhD...

Do you ever feel like you're just not good enough, smart enough, or talented enough in certain areas? Do these beliefs keep you from seeking out new opportunities or challenges, because you're afraid of failing?  If so, you may be suffering from a "fixed mindset." In contrast, a "growth mindset" is the belief that you can increase your ability or develop your attributes—that you can adapt and learn from your mistakes. But how do you cultivate a growth mindset? 
 
 
 
The Growth Mindset Workbook offers essential skills grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to change the way you think about your own talents and abilities. Based on the core principles outlined in Mindset by Carol Dweck, this workbook will help you shed unhelpful and self-limiting attitudes and beliefs, and replace them with a growth mindset that can increase resiliency, boost self-confidence, and form the foundation of a meaningful, values-based life. 
 
 
 
The most important thing to remember is that a growth mindset can be learned, and doing so can positively impact how you think, feel, and act. If you're ready to say yes to life's challenges and maximize your potential, this step-by-step guide can show you the way.

Ming Dynasty - Exploration Great...

Rolf Hedger

The Ming Dynasty emerged from the ashes of the Yuan Dynasty, a Mongol-led empire that had ruled China for nearly a century. By the late 14th century, the Yuan government had become weak and corrupt, plagued by heavy taxation, famines, and widespread unrest. The Chinese population, weary of foreign rule, began to rise in rebellion. Among the many insurgent leaders, one man would rise to power and change the course of Chinese history—Zhu Yuanzhang.
Born into a poor peasant family, Zhu Yuanzhang experienced hardship early in life. Orphaned as a child, he spent years in a Buddhist monastery before joining the Red Turban Rebellion, a movement dedicated to overthrowing the Yuan. His military prowess and strategic mind quickly elevated him through the ranks. As he consolidated power, he systematically eliminated rival factions, eventually establishing himself as the dominant leader of the rebellion. In 1368, Zhu marched his forces into Beijing, forcing the last Yuan emperor to flee northward. Declaring the end of Mongol rule, he proclaimed himself emperor and founded the Ming Dynasty, choosing the name "Ming," meaning "brilliant" or "bright," to symbolize a new era of Chinese rule.
As the first Ming emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang, now known as the Hongwu Emperor, sought to restore Chinese traditions and repair the damage caused by Mongol rule. He reestablished Confucian principles as the foundation of government, reinstating the civil service examination system to ensure that officials were selected based on merit rather than birthright. He also implemented strict laws to reduce corruption, often resorting to harsh punishments to maintain order. His administration worked to rebuild agriculture, improve irrigation systems, and distribute land to farmers, strengthening the economy and ensuring food security.
