A Primer Of Freudian Psychology
BASICS OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR Absorbing, easy to read and understand, here is a fascinating presentation of Freud’s principal theories on psychology. Culled from forty years of writing by the founder of psychoanalysis, this is the first book which gives, in a comprehensive and systematic form, Freud’s thinking on the organization, dynamics and development of the normal human personality. Calvin S. Hall outlines Freud’s penetrating diagnosis of the balances existing between the mind and emotions, and points out his important discoveries about the parts played by instincts, the conscious and unconscious, and anxiety in the functioning of the human psyche. In discussing the elements that form personality, the author explains the ideas of the pioneer thinker in psychology on defense mechanisms, the channeling of instinctual drives, and the role of sex in the boy and girl maturing into man and woman. Lucid, illuminating and instructive, this is an important book for everyone who wants to understand human behavior—in himself and in others. “A Primer of Freudian Psychology is compact, readable, accurate.”—Gordon W. Allport, Professor of Psychology, Harvard University
A Primer of Jungian Psychology
Breaking away from the influence of Freud, Jung developed into his most important rival in the development of psychiatry theory. His ideas about astrology, the importance of the occult, the ability of dreams to foretell important events, and extrasensory perception are the subject of growing interest at a time when traditional psychiatric methods are being radically questions. This introduction is a lucid guide to Jung's voluminous and diverse writings. The authors discuss the ramification of such basic Jungian concepts as the theory that a renaissance of symbolism was necessary to reduce random, personal aggression; the argument that the libido involved a generalized desiring, willing, and striving; and the universality of archetypes in different cultures. The feature of the book is a critique of psychoanalytic theory since Freud. Dr. Lomas examines Freud's psychoanalytic theory in detail and he questions Freud's detached, scientific methods. -- From publisher's description.

Where Shall Wisdom be Found?
Through countless retellings, from the Talmud to Archibald MacLeish and since, the story of Job has been a fixture in the cultural imagination of the West, captivating the human imagination and forcing its readers to wrestle with the most painful realities of human existence. In this study, Susan E. Schreiner analyzes interpretations of the Book of Job by Gregory the Great, Maimonides, Thomas Aquinas, and particularly John Calvin. Reading Calvin's interpretation against the background of his medieval predecessors, she shows how central Job is to Calvin's struggles with some basic theological issues. Calvin and his predecessors put forth a variety of explanations for Job's wisdom, focusing on...
