Psychopathology of Everyday Life - Enriched edition Revealing the Unconscious: Freudian Psychology in Daily Life

Sigmund Freud

Sinopsis

In "Psychopathology of Everyday Life," Sigmund Freud meticulously explores the interplay between the unconscious mind and everyday behaviors, presenting a groundbreaking analysis of slips of the tongue, forgotten names, and mundane actions. Employing a blend of clinical case studies, introspective analysis, and theoretical discourse, Freud elucidates how these seemingly trivial incidents reveal deeper psychological conflicts and desires. Written in a clear yet incisive literary style, the text serves as a cornerstone for psychoanalytic theory, positioning personal experiences within a broader context of human psychology, all while challenging the conventional understanding of sanity and expression in turn-of-the-century Vienna. Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, derived insights for this seminal work from his extensive clinical practice and familiarity with contemporary psychological discussions. Born in 1856 in Austria, Freud's revolutionary ideas emerged from an era that grappled with the complexities of the human psyche. His innovative theories were influenced by his studies in neurology, the prevailing philosophical currents of his time, and a profound interest in the unconscious, which shaped his lifelong dedication to uncovering the hidden motivations behind human behavior. "Psychopathology of Everyday Life" is indispensable for anyone seeking to comprehend the intricate links between everyday occurrences and our internal psyches. Freud's groundbreaking examination remains relevant, offering profound insights for psychology students, literary scholars, and general readers alike. Engaging with this work provides a meaningful exploration into the depths of human behavior, inviting readers to reflect on their own unconscious processes.

Wake Up America - Black Women on...

Keisha N. Blain

In 1968, civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer called for Americans to "wake up" if they wanted to "make democracy a reality." Today, as Black communities continue to face challenges built on centuries of discrimination, her plea is increasingly urgent. In this exhilarating anthology of original essays, Keisha N. Blain brings together the voices of major progressive Black women politicians, grassroots activists, and intellectuals to offer critical insights on how we can create a more equitable political future. 
 
 
 
These women draw on their diverse experiences and expertise to speak to three core themes: claiming civil and human rights, building political and economic power, and combating all forms of hate. We hear from Black Lives Matter cofounder Alicia Garza, who argues that Black communities must organize to wield increased political power; EMILYs List president Laphonza Butler, who spells out ways to fight for women's reproductive rights; and Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, who delineates practical, thorough steps toward tangible reparations. Additional incisive essays include those by former Ohio State Senator Nina Turner; prison abolitionist Mariame Kaba; disability rights activist Andraéa LaVant; Boston's first woman and first Black mayor, Kim Michelle Janey; and others at the forefront of the ongoing fight for social justice.

The Birth of the Republic...

Edmund S. Morgan, Joseph J....

In The Birth of the Republic, 1763–89, Edmund S. Morgan shows how the challenge of British taxation started Americans on a search for constitutional principles to protect their freedom, and eventually led to the Revolution. By demonstrating that the founding fathers' political philosophy was not grounded in theory, but rather grew out of their own immediate needs, Morgan paints a vivid portrait of how the founders' own experiences shaped their passionate convictions, and these in turn were incorporated into the Constitution and other governmental documents. The Birth of the Republic is the classic account of the beginnings of the American government, and in this fourth edition the original text is supplemented with a new foreword by Joseph J. Ellis and a historiographic essay by Rosemarie Zagarri.
