Sinossi

In creating psychoanalysis, a clinical method for treating psychopathology through dialogue between a patient and a psychoanalyst, Freud developed therapeutic techniques such as the use of free association (in which patients report their thoughts without reservation and in whichever order they spontaneously occur) and discovered transference (the process in which patients displace on to their analysts feelings derived from their childhood attachments), establishing its central role in the analytic process. Freud's redefinition of sexuality to include its infantile forms led him to formulate the Oedipus complex as the central tenet of psychoanalytical theory.

His analysis of his own and his patients' dreams as wish-fulfillments provided him with models for the clinical analysis of symptom formation and the mechanisms of repression as well as for elaboration of his theory of the unconscious as an agency disruptive of conscious states of mind. Freud postulated the existence of libido, an energy with which mental processes and structures are invested and which generates erotic attachments, and a death drive, the source of repetition, hate, aggression and neurotic guilt. In his later work Freud drew on psychoanalytic theory to develop a wide-ranging interpretation and critique of religion and culture.

Psychoanalysis remains influential within psychotherapy, within some areas of psychiatry, and across the humanities. As such it continues to generate extensive and highly contested debate with regard to its therapeutic efficacy, its scientific status and as to whether it advances or is detrimental to the feminist cause. Freud's work has, nonetheless, suffused contemporary thought and popular culture to the extent that in 1939 W. H. Auden wrote, in a poem dedicated to him:

"To us he is no more a person / now but a whole climate of opinion / under whom we conduct our different lives".

The Sociology of Religion - How...

Fred Grandsen

Religion has long been a fundamental aspect of human society, influencing cultures, shaping social norms, and providing meaning to people’s lives. The sociology of religion examines how faith and belief systems function within society, analyzing their impact on individuals, communities, and institutions. Unlike theological approaches that focus on the truth or divinity of religious doctrines, sociologists study religion as a social phenomenon, investigating its role in maintaining social order, fostering group identity, and driving social change.
One of the key concerns in the sociology of religion is understanding how religious beliefs and practices are shaped by broader social structures. Religious traditions do not exist in isolation; they are influenced by historical contexts, political systems, and economic conditions. For example, the rise of industrialization and urbanization has been linked to shifts in religious affiliation, with some societies experiencing a decline in traditional religious practices while others see the emergence of new forms of spirituality.
Sociologists also explore the role of religion in social cohesion and conflict. Many theorists, including Émile Durkheim, argue that religion serves as a unifying force, bringing people together through shared rituals, moral values, and collective worship. In this sense, religion helps to reinforce social bonds and provide a sense of belonging. However, religion can also be a source of division, contributing to sectarian conflicts, discrimination, and political struggles. The study of religious pluralism and interfaith relations highlights both the possibilities for coexistence and the challenges posed by religious diversity.

Counterrevolution - The Crusade...

Stephen Steinberg

In Black Reconstruction W. E. B. Du Bois wrote, "The slave went free; stood for a brief moment in the sun; then moved back again toward slavery." His words echo across the decades as the civil rights revolution, marked by the passage of landmark civil rights laws in the '60s, has seen those gains steadily and systematically whittled away. As history testifies, revolution nearly always triggers its antithesis: counterrevolution. In this book, Steinberg provides an analysis of this backlash, tracing the reverse flow of history that has led to the current national reckoning on race. 
 
 
 
Steinberg puts counterrevolution into historical and theoretical perspective, exploring the "victim-blaming" and "colorblind" discourses that emerged in the post-segregation era and undermined progress toward racial equality, and led to the gutting of affirmative action. This book reflects Steinberg's long career as a critical race scholar, culminating with his assessment of our current moment and the possibilities for political transformation.

A Light in the Northern Sea -...

Tim Brady

August 25, 1943. A lone bicyclist transports a cache of explosives, hidden in a beer crate, to a Copenhagen hall being readied to house German troops. In a violent blast, the would-be barracks is reduced to rubble. It's the boldest act yet of Holger Danske and the growing Danish resistance combating the oppressiveness of Hitler's Reich. 
 
 
 
In 1940, on its way to conquering Western Europe, Germany coerced the Danish government into a "cooperative" agreement that lasted three long years until the increasing brazenness of the Resistance movement prompted a crackdown. Denmark's nearly 8000 Jews, who had so far been spared Hitler's wrath, now became the focus of his rage. A roundup was ordered to begin on October 1st, 1943, the first day of the Jewish New Year. 
 
 
 
The only passage to safety was across the Oresund to Sweden. But no group existed to organize an escape. Until the last moment, Sweden didn’t agree to allow the refugees into the country; and the strait between the two nations was swarming with Gestapo. What happened next was a miracle. 95% of Denmark's Jews survived the Holocaust, the highest percentage in Europe. Here are the riveting true accounts of ordinary Danes who, using their modest resources, wiles, remarkable courage, and camaraderie, quietly orchestrated their escape.

Power to Stop any Illusion of...

August Clarke, J Moss

Are you tired of hearing people constantly complain and moan about a world problem, but offer you no solutions as to what you can do to help resolve this issue? 
This might be from close friends or family constantly taking a negative view on this particular issue, or even from hearing about the problem on the news, but not hearing any potential solutions. 
Can you tell what problem I am talking about yet? Of course, I am talking about manufactured scarcity. 
Anyone who vaguely follows this topic will know that it is consistently increasing in the US, but many don’t know that it is also increasing across most other countries. 
So, what can you and I do to help improve the situation? 
The Power to Stop Any Illusion of Problems will help offer an insight into how these situations occur, in simple and understandable terms, so that you don’t get confused or demotivated by too much technical jargon. 
It will then also show you ways that positive change can be made, rather than just telling you about all the negative impacts of scarcity and making you feel as though all hope is lost. 
You will be amazed at the content included in this book, and the detail that is provided for you to digest. But what really sets this book apart from its competitors is that the information is so well presented and easy to understand.
