How do psychoanalysts conceptualize the mind? Why was Sigmund Freud so interested in sex? How does analysis work? Introducing Psychoanalysis offers insights into the nature of psychoanalytic theory and original ways of describing therapeutic practice. In demystifying and explaining psychoanalysis, it is of interest to students, teachers, and the general public.
Using everyday experience, horror stories, Hitchcock's cinema, and the cultural history of racism, Phobia illuminates the individual and social nightmare world of phobic phenomena.
Anna Freud was a pioneer in nursery education and child mental health. Building on her work, the papers in this book consider the educational, psychological and emotional factors which enter into the experience of nursery education. They examine the impact of nursery education and make a plea for a unified understanding of child development which appreciates the pleasures and fears of children as much as their cognitive performance. Contributors include Anne-Marie Sandler, and Adam Phillips.
