O Eu em Ruína
Problemas na constituição e no funcionamento do Eu estão no cerne de boa parte das chamadas "novas doenças da alma", nas palavras de Júlia Kristeva. Os sofrimentos narcísicos em variadas formas e magnitudes (atingindo o psíquico e o somático), a melancolia e outros estados depressivos, as organizações paranoides e esquizoides da personalidade, as toxicomanias, os transtornos alimentares etc., ocupam lugar relevante na clínica psicanalítica atual, para não falarmos dos casos que, infelizmente, não puderam ser objeto de nossos cuidados, como o de Estamira, contemplado em um dos capítulos do livro. A expressão adotada – o Eu em ruína – corresponde perfeitamente a este grande conjunto de adoecimentos que desafiam os psicanalistas das mais diversas procedências, independentemente de suas orientações teóricas. Assim, torna-se bem-vinda esta reedição do livro organizado por Eliane Michelini Marraccini. Luís Claudio Figueiredo

The Passion of Max Von Oppenheim
Born into a prominent German Jewish banking family, Baron Max von Oppenheim (1860-1946) was a keen amateur archaeologist and ethnologist. His discovery and excavation of Tell Halaf in Syria marked an important contribution to knowledge of the ancient Middle East, while his massive study of the Bedouins is still consulted by scholars today. He was also an ardent German patriot, eager to support his country's pursuit of its "place in the sun." Excluded by his part-Jewish ancestry from the regular diplomatic service, Oppenheim earned a reputation as "the Kaiser's spy" because of his intriguing against the British in Cairo, as well as his plan, at the start of the First World War, to incite Musl...
Transcultural Approaches to the Concept of Imperial Rule in the Middle Ages
The volume examines imperial rule in the Middle Ages. It asks for the characteristics of imperial leadership as well as the reasons why some rulers strove for imperial titles such as emperor whereas others voluntarily shrank from them. Thus, the authors adopt a transcultural perspective, covering Europe, Byzantium and the Islamic Middle East.
Sexuality in the Aetiology of the Neuroses
This early work by Sigmund Freud was originally published in 1898 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'Sexuality in the Aetiology of the Neuroses' is a psychological essay on the causes of neuroses. Sigismund Schlomo Freud was born on 6th May 1856, in the Moravian town of Příbor, now part of the Czech Republic. He studied a variety of subjects, including philosophy, physiology, and zoology, graduating with an MD in 1881. Freud made a huge and lasting contribution to the field of psychology with many of his methods still being used in modern psychoanalysis. He inspired much discussion on the wealth of theories he produced and the reactions to his works began a century of great psychological investigation.
Eating Right in the Renaissance
"Albala 's engaging tour through the host of Renaissance dietary theories reminds us that our preoccupations with food and susceptibility to cranky advice about nutrition are nothing new. This is superior scholarship delivered with a light touch."—Rachel Laudan, author of The Food of Paradise: Exploring Hawaii’s Culinary Heritage "This stimulating work is an important contribution to social and especially medical-dietetic history. Albala is the first to explore in detail the role of dietetic literature in the development of the European nation state. His book is a pleasure to read."—Melitta Weiss Adamson, editor of Food in the Middle Ages
The Psychology Of Addiction
This text provides a comprehensive overview of psychological approaches to understanding addictions. Without denying the importance of biological Factors, Emphasis Is Placed More Upon Social, Psychological And Emotional factors as is necessary to a complete understanding of addiction. Within this framework, an addiction is not limited to substance-based behaviours such as drinking alcohol, smoking or drug use. Although these important areas are covered, a wider perspective is taken to include behavioural addictions such as gambling, violence and joy riding. Finally, prevention approaches are discussed with reference to the public health model which encompasses issues relating to the agent, the host and the environment. A list of resources and references is provided for those wishing to obtain further information.; Written in a jargon-free style, "The Psychology of Addiction" is aimed at students at the beginning of their courses. It should also be a valuable resource for professionals: nurses, social workers, police and probation officers and medical students, who often encounter the problems described in the book.

Between Winnicott and Lacan
D.W. Winnicott and Jacques Lacan are arguably two of the most important psychoanalytic theoreticians since Freud, and, somewhat ironically, seemingly two of the most incompatible. Lewis Kirshner and his colleagues attempt to demonstrate how the intellectual contributions of these two figures - such as Winnicott's self and Lacan's subject - complement productively despite their apparent contrast. Throughout the book, their major concepts are clarified and differentiated, but always with an eye toward points of intersection and a more effective psychoanalytic practice. Furthermore, these contri.
