Can true love triumph in a world of sweetness that is often false, and sometimes fatal? This is the essential question of Glycosis, the debut novel of author Laurence D. Chalem that probes the natural and man-made worlds to chart a rare romantic union that is in grave and gripping danger. Expanding the lexicon, Glycosis is a tastefully told love story set on a San Diego campus that surges with suspense and intelligence. It's certain to absorb anyone taken by the mysteries of the human heart-and intricate life of the mind-whether lovers of legal or medical thrillers, or anyone who relishes a well-crafted, smart read. On the sunny campus of the University of California, San Diego, Michelle, a ...
Trauma and Human Existence effectively interweaves two themes central to emotional trauma - the first pertains to the contextuality of emotional life in general, and of the experience of emotional trauma in particular, and the second pertains to the recognition that the possibility of emotional trauma is built into the basic constitution of human existence.

As discussed in the book's final chapter, whether or not this constitutive possibility will be brought lastingly into the foreground of our experiential world depends on the relational contexts in which we live. Taken as a whole, Trauma and Human Existence exhibits the unity of the deeply personal, the theoretical, and the philosophical in the understanding of emotional trauma and the place it occupies in human existence.

Until now, little sustained attention has been paid to the influences on Plath’s life and work. What movies did she watch? Which books did she read? How di...
Transformations in Self Psychology highlights the manner in which contemporary self psychology has become, in the words of series editor William Coburn, "a continuing series of revolutions within a revolution." Of special note are contributions that explore the bidirectional influences between self psychology and other explanatory paradigms. The volume begins with Stern's thoughtful attempt to integrate self-psychological and relational perspectives on transference-countertransference enactments. Fosshage and Munschauer's presentation of a case of "extreme nihilism and aversiveness" elicits a series of discussions that constructively highlights divergent perspectives on the meaning and role ...
