On Men
An exploration of the challenged state of masculinity in our post-feminist society of gender equality. As we reach the millennium, there is hardly anything to be done that cannot be done by women - where does this leave men? Have men been pushed out of parenting - even of procreation? The brute strength of the male is no longer necessary to mine coal or build ships - or even make war. Men don't have to "provide" for their families, as more women harness their intelligence and generate their own incomes. Is it surprising that male suicides outnumber female by a factor of 3 or 4 to 1, or that the predilection of males to be violent - once seen as a source of pride - now seems to threaten our very culture and civilisation? Is what Clare calls the "phallic man" - assertive, authoritative, dominant, in control not only of himself but of women - dying out? As a practising psychiatrist, Anthony Clare brings a knowledge of science and medicine plus a deep understanding of the human heart and mind to this lively, readable, fair-handed and above all sympathetic examination of the male in today's society.
Psychiatrist in the Chair
Born in Dublin in 1942, Anthony Clare was the best-known psychiatrist of his generation. His BBC Radio 4 show, In the Psychiatrist’s Chair, which ran from 1982 to 2001, brought him international fame and changed the nature of broadcast interviews forever. Famous interviewees included Stephen Fry, Anthony Hopkins, Spike Milligan, Maya Angelou and Jimmy Savile, each of whom yielded to Clare’s inimitable gentle yet probing style. Clare made unique contributions to the demystification and practice of psychiatry, most notably through his classic book Psychiatry in Dissent: Controversial Issues in Thought and Practice (1976). This book, the first, official biography of this much-loved figure, examines the man behind these achievements: the debater and the doctor, the writer and the broadcaster, the public figure and the family man. Using extensive public and family records, we ask: Who was Anthony Clare, really? Were there just one Anthony Clare, or many? What drove him? And what is to be learned from his life, his career, and his unique, sometimes controversial legacy to our understanding of the mind? This is the remarkable story of a remarkable person.
Psychiatry in Dissent
Tavistock Press was established as a co-operative venture between the Tavistock Institute and Routledge & Kegan Paul (RKP) in the 1950s to produce a series of major contributions across the social sciences. This volume is part of a 2001 reissue of a selection of those important works which have since gone out of print, or are difficult to locate. Published by Routledge, 112 volumes in total are being brought together under the name The International Behavioural and Social Sciences Library: Classics from the Tavistock Press. Reproduced here in facsimile, this volume was originally published in 1980 and is available individually. The collection is also available in a number of themed mini-sets of between 5 and 13 volumes, or as a complete collection.
Depression and how to Survive it
Spike Milligan reveals the dark side of his life in this book which is co-written with his psychiatrist Anthony Clare. He recalls the traumas of his childhood, his highly-strung mother, his largely absent father, the cruelties of a colonial upbringing and of sadism towards animals, the break-up of his first marriage, the mortar bomb which blew him up in Italy and the overwork which gave him a mental breakdown during the Goon Show. This book charts the development of this depression and his strategies for dealing with it were improvised, as both when he would get drunk with Peter Sellers, and clinically in his discussions with Clare. Spike Milligan's previous books include Silly Verse for Kids and Where have all the Bullets Gone'. Anthony Clare is the author of Psychiatry and General Practice and presents the BBC Radio series, In the Psychiatrist's Chair.
The Nuffield Tractor Story
Anthony Clare starts with the preparatory work of 1943 and takes the story up to 1967, the era of the powerful 10/60 model - the machine that became known by many as the Rolls-Royce of tractors. He deals fully with development, production, models, sales, distribution, implements, after-sales service and testing. He has also unearthed a wealth of previously unseen photographs.
Shoegasm
The last two decades have seen an explosion of creativity in footwear design. Sexy laced-up sandals, sky-high platform heels, and outrageously decorated shoes are seen on fashionable women everywhere, from the catwalk to the street.
Art of the Handbag
"The Art of the Handbag features a gallery of wearable works of art, from bejeweled minaudières and crystal-studded Pop Art bags to sculptural bags and "paintings with thread."--Jacket.
MATRIARCH II, Journey of Purpose
There's a 'Hell' traveling on the road searching for 'Purpose'. On one side of the coin, there are many hidden dangers of deception. There is a risk factor, for not knowing what lies ahead of the unseen, for any of them. Love, convictions, lies, and hatred challenge the emotions like a pendulum, not knowing how deep it will cut, or how close it will bring Matri to the bridge between life and death. Being confronted with the character of a snake and a live snake... There's a 'Heaven" traveling on the road searching for 'Purpose.' On the flip side of the coin, there are many rewards upon discovering the need to find 'Purpose'. There is a reward for convictions, faith, trust, and love, patiently challenging what lies ahead of the unseen. There is a satisfaction that is gained and a hidden sweetness of finding out that love is a many splendid thing. “True Love” is like going down into the bottom of the ocean, finding a pearl.
