A simple approach to Freud - A guide to explaining Sigmund Freud's discoveries and the principles of depth psychology in a simple way

Stefano Calicchio

Synopsis

What are the foundations of psychoanalysis? What were the ideas and discoveries at the basis of this discipline? How did Freud manage to discover the principles of the functioning of the human mind?

This book was created with the idea of offering the reader a clear and simple perspective on the discoveries that led to the birth of depth psychology. Inside you will discover the principles of psychodynamic theory. From the birth of depth psychology to the first clinical findings related to the use of hypnosis, and on to the unconscious psychic mechanisms that regulate people's lives. The method of investigation used by Freud to connect the different psychic layers present in the individual will also be illustrated. The reader will thus be able to follow a path of discovery that will not only enable him to better understand the subject, but also to question himself and the basic postulates that regulate psychic life.

The AI Mirror - How to Reclaim...

Shannon Vallor

For many, technology offers hope for the future—that promise of shared human flourishing and liberation that always seems to elude our species. Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies spark this hope in a particular way. They promise a future in which human limits and frailties are finally overcome—not by us, but by our machines. Yet rather than open new futures, today's powerful AI technologies reproduce the past. Forged from oceans of our data into immensely powerful but flawed mirrors, they reflect the same errors, biases, and failures of wisdom that we strive to escape. Our new digital mirrors point backward. They show only where the data say that we have already been, never where we might venture together for the first time. 
 
 
 
To meet today's grave challenges to our species and our planet, we will need something new from AI, and from ourselves. 
 
 
 
Shannon Vallor makes a wide-ranging, prophetic, and philosophical case for what AI could be: a way to reclaim our human potential for moral and intellectual growth, rather than lose ourselves in mirrors of the past. Rejecting prophecies of doom, she encourages us to pursue technology that helps us recover our sense of the possible, and with it the confidence and courage to repair a broken world. Vallor calls us to rethink what AI is and can be, and what we want to be with it.
