Selected papers on hysteria and other psychoneuroses

Sigmund Freud

Summary

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.

Modern Jungles

Pao Lor

As a five-year-old boy, Pao Lor joined thousands of Hmong who fled for their lives through the jungles of Laos in the aftermath of war. After a difficult and perilous journey that neither of his parents survived, he reached the safety of Thailand, but the young refugee boy’s challenges were only just beginning.Born in a small farming village, Pao was destined to be a Hmong clan leader, wedding negotiator, or shaman. But the course of his life changed dramatically in the 1970s, when the Hmong faced persecution for their role in helping US forces fighting communism in the region. After more than two years in Thai refugee camps, Pao and his surviving family members boarded the belly of an “iron eagle” bound for the United States, where he pictured a new life of comfort and happiness. Instead, Pao found himself navigating a frightening and unfamiliar world, adjusting to a string of new schools and living situations while struggling to fulfill the hopes his parents had once held for his future. Now in Modern Jungles, Pao Lor shares his inspiring coming-of-age tale about perseverance, grit, and hope.

Osage Indian Murders The: The...

Editors Charles River

In the late 19th century, Indian Territory became part of the new State of Oklahoma and tribal lands were gradually reduced in size, but on some of the lands assigned to the Osage, which became Osage County, something very dramatic happened: oil was discovered. At first, that didn’t seem too important - in the 1880s, oil was useful but wasn’t the source of wealth it would later become. However, the rise of the automobile changed everything. In 1900, there were only around 4,000 automobiles registered in America, but by 1908, there were over 60,000, and by the early 1920s, there were over 15 million. Every single one needed fuel and lubricants that came from oil, and as a result, “black gold” became one of the most valuable commodities on Earth.
For the Osage, the explosion in demand for oil brought unimaginable wealth. In 1923 alone, the Osage Nation received over $30 million in oil revenue, worth over $400 million in current value, and individual members of the tribe became extremely wealthy. Unscrupulous people began to plot how they could get their hands on some of this wealth.
Then the murders began.
In the early 1920s, members of the Osage Nation and others began to turn up dead, and in many cases, the proceeds of oil revenue owned by these people passed to white “Guardians” appointed by the federal government. By 1925, at least 24 Osage had died in unexplained circumstances, and some accounts suggest that the actual number may have been over 100. Local law enforcement seemed unable (or perhaps unwilling) to investigate effectively, and it was left to a small bureau in Washington to undertake their first homicide investigation under the leadership of a dynamic and ambitious young lawyer named J. Edgar Hoover. As a result, the horrifying true story of the Osage County murders became one of the first assignments for the federal agency that would later become the FBI.

A Faithful Record of the 'Lisbon...

Brian Finch

In the 75th anniversary year of the sinking of the Lisbon Maru, A FAITHFUL RECORD OF THE LISBON MARU INCIDENT is a recent translation from an original Chinese publication covering an important chapter in Hong Kong’s wartime history. It gives details of the Lisbon Maru Incident of 1942, seen through the eyes of the Chinese fishermen who rescued hundreds of British prisoners of war from Hong Kong, whose ship had been torpedoed. The Japanese had tried to keep them in the holds as the ship sank so that they would drown, and then shot at them as they tried to escape. These courageous fishermen not only prevented hundreds more deaths, they also hid three prisoners under the noses of the Japanese until they could be sent secretly on a journey across more than 1,000 miles of China to reach Chongqing, from where they could tell the world what had happened. The book also recounts the visit to Zhoushan in 2005 of one of the survivors of the sinking and his emotional reunion with those who saved him; as well as a visit to Hong Kong in the same year of the last few remaining fishermen who had taken part in the rescue.
