Imagery
The fifth volume of Imagery emanates from the matrix of presentations offered after the conventions of the American Association for Mental Imagery for the years 1987 and 1988. The first meeting was held in Toronto; the second at Yale University. An overview of the presentations covered such a variety of subjects that we thought the subtitle would be most appropriately--Current Perspectives. For the first time in five volumes, two contributions are related to anthropological imagery by Caughey and Brink. John Caughey, whose book, Imaginary Social Worlds pioneered the social psychology approach to the silent inner imagination, offers a fine chapter in anthropological imagery of his own experie...

Psychotherapy and the Remote Patient
Learn to tackle the challenge and frustration of working with the patient who eludes the good intentions of even the most seasoned therapist--the remote patient. This book is a treasury of insights, clinical theory, and experiences of seasoned therapists who are eager to describe their journey of frustration and accomplishments with this most shadowy of patients. Experts share their wisdom about these patients who are often thought of as being unworkable because they appear uninterested and ungrateful. A bundle of paradoxes, wanting and avoiding contact, being both present and absent at the same time, the remote patient has the ability to undermine the therapist's confidence and sense of effectiveness
Healing Identities
Group identifications famously pose the problem of destructive rhetoric and action against others. Cynthia Burack brings together the theory work of women of color and the tools of psychoanalysis to examine the effects of group collaborations for social justice and progressive politics. This juxtaposition illuminates some assumptions about race and equality encoded in psychoanalysis. Burack's discursive analysis suggests the positive, identity-affirming aspects of group relational life for African American women. One analytic response to groups emphasizes the dangers of these identifications and exhorts people to abandon or transcend them for their own good and for the good of others who may...

The Theatre of Truth
Doctoral Dissertation, University of California, Berkeley, 1995ABSTRACT: Jacob Moreno, MD (1889-1974) is known today as the founder of psychodrama, which he defined as "the science which explores the 'truth' by dramatic methods." This dissertation investigates Moreno primarily as a theatre artist. It starts with a philosophical analysis of the concepts of acting, improvisation and spontaneity and then consolidates the elements of Moreno's theory of the nature and function of theatre, which are dispersed throughout his writings and have never been thoroughly collected in one place. It also examines how Moreno discovered the healing power of drama while he directed his Theatre of Spontaneity in Vienna 1920s and in New York 1930s. The appendix contains Moreno's earliest theatrical text, The Godhead as Comedian, translated for the first time in its entirety from the 1919 German edition.

Merlin's Calling
LE CRI DE MERLIN DIARY FRAGMENT 1: UNDERSPELL To be encased in stone is both an otherworldly blessing and a maiden´s curse. To refer to my current condition as entombed would be to speak with imprecision. This will not do since much of magic, as I learned it from Blaise as a young boy, is in the words and, of course, in how they are strung together like a talisman emboldened by fetishes and charms. No I am not dead but rather immobilized, spirit unmoved without a body to transport it. My state is rather meditative. Though deep in the earth, resonances from above penetrate this rock-hard cathedral that has become my terrestrial home. Like a blind man, I grope for the nature of the times. Per...
The Art of the Public Grovel
Whether you are a politician caught carrying on with an intern or a minister photographed with a prostitute, discovery does not necessarily spell the end of your public career. Admit your sins carefully, using the essential elements of an evangelical confession identified by Susan Wise Bauer in The Art of the Public Grovel, and you, like Bill Clinton, just might survive. In this fascinating and important history of public confession in modern America, Bauer explains why and how a type of confession that first arose among nineteenth-century evangelicals has today become the required form for any successful public admission of wrongdoing--even when the wrongdoer has no connection with evangeli...
Mannership
Mark has an unusual history. After losing his hearing as an eighteen-month-old infant, the next six years were silent as he honed his way of watching. Wandering Africa and Asia as a teenager and being adopted by nomadic tribes opened his eyes to the cultural nuances of different lands and peoples. Mannership is an enquiry into origins of self-destruction which is uniquely human, focusing on 3 questions: How does an individual mind become ‘poisoned’ by a self-destructive tendency? How is the poison hidden, and harboured, in a part of the mind which is ‘out of reach’ so we cannot simply ‘deal’ with it? How did our environment or culture develop in such a way that this ‘poison’ became thrust so deep into our children’s minds? From the teachings of indigenous Shamans to the lessons taught by animals, Mark connects observations from his journeys to read like magical adventures while seeking an elusive source of self-destruction.
