"Here is a book with a lot of character--in fact, many characters, some famous and others infamous, from misers and murderers to presidents, philosophers and plenipotentiaries. These many and varied personalities are presented as illustrations of character traits....

En este que es considerado su ensayo fundacional, Spielrein vincula al sexo con una negatividad que se revela como el aspecto subjetivo de la conducta destructiva. Sus planteamientos funcionan como puentes para conectar la teoría freudiana del desarrollo sexual con la teoría jungiana del inconsciente colectivo. El texto plantea un conflicto entre dos formas de psiquismo (la psique colectiva y la psique individual), y lo traslada a otro contexto:...

La névrose n'est plus ce qu'elle était.
Aujourd'hui, un nouveau type de fonctionnement psychique semble devenir la norme : le fonctionnement limite ou borderline. Cet homme limite, n'est pas franchement névrosé comme l'étaient ses pères. Chez lui, il n'y a pas de sentiment de culpabilité, il n'a pas le sens de l'avenir, de son devenir in progress. Il vit dans le présent, dans l'action.
À l'extrême, il ressemble à ces jeunes des banlieues...

Are you ready to look at Anxiety in a different way?
If you are, this book might be just what you need. The word anxiety has become synonymous with everyday life stress. The word anxiety is no longer used for true moments of anxiousness. For this reason, rather than being able to identify specific emotions or thought, people are starting to struggle to tell the difference between what appropriate worry is and what is catastrophized worry.
The reality...

For several years I have taught both the graduate and post-graduate students a complete chapter on sleep. I always used to wonder as to why people do not come to us when they have problems. We study quite a lot about sleep but when people have problems, they go the other professionals.I thought this happens probably because they do not know we study this topic in so much detail. This was when I started working on understanding sleep from a practical...

William Shakespeare famously wrote that "a face is like a book," and common wisdom has it that our faces reveal our deep-seated emotions. But, what if the reverse were also true? What if our facial expressions set our moods instead of revealing them? What if there were actual science to support the exhortation, "smile, be happy?" Dermatologic surgeon Eric Finzi has been studying that question for nearly two-decades, and in this ground breaking book...
