The Lively Audience A Study of Children Around the TV Set

The Lively Audience A Study of Children Around the TV Set

The Lively Audience (1986) studies television from the children’s own point of view. Contrary to most prevailing opinion it contends that television has much to teach children and that their relationship with the medium is not one of passive dependency after all. Research shows that what children gain from television depends very much on the child’s age and social experience and that children ‘see’ television differently from adults. This book examines this issue and gives us a different understanding of the child audience and the impact of their television viewing. | The Lively Audience A Study of Children Around the TV Set

'Occultism and the Origins of Psychoanalysis' and 'Sigmund Freud and The Forsyth Case' (2 Volume Set)

'Occultism and the Origins of Psychoanalysis' and 'Sigmund Freud and The Forsyth Case' (2 Volume Set)

Sigmund Freud and The Forsyth Case uses newly discovered primary sources to investigate one of Sigmund Freud’s most mysterious clinical experiences the Forsyth case. Maria Pierri begins with a preliminary illustration of the case its historical context and how it connects to Freud’s interests in ‘thought-transmission’ or telepathy. Sigmund Freud and The Forsyth Case details Pierri’s attempts to recover the lost original case notes which are published here for the first time to identify the patient involved and to set the case into the broader frame of Freud’s work. The book also explores Freud’s further investigations into thought-transmission focusing around a meeting of the Secret Committee in October 1919 and his clinical work with his own daughter Anna. Occultism and the Origins of Psychoanalysis traces the origins of key psychoanalytic ideas back to their roots in hypnosis and the occult. Maria Pierri follows Sigmund Freud’s early interest in ‘thought transmission’ now known as telepathy. Freud’s private investigations led to discussions with other leading figures including Sandor Ferenczi with whom he held a ‘dialogue of the unconsciouses’ and Carl Jung. Freud and Ferenczi’s work assessed how fortune tellers could read the past from a client inspiring their investigations into countertransference the analytic relationship unconscious communication and mother-infant relationality. Pierri clearly links modern psychoanalytic practice with Freud’s interests in the occult using primary sources some of which have never before been published in English. These books will be essential reading for psychoanalysts in practice and in training as well as academics and scholars of psychoanalytic studies Freudian ideas psychoanalytic theory the occult spirituality and the history of psychology. | 'Occultism and the Origins of Psychoanalysis' and 'Sigmund Freud and The Forsyth Case' (2 Volume Set)

'Jung's Studies in Astrology' and 'The Astrological World of Jung's 'Liber Novus (2 Volume Set)

'Jung's Studies in Astrology' and 'The Astrological World of Jung's 'Liber Novus (2 Volume Set)

Jung’s Studies in Astrology is an historical survey of his astrological work from the time he began to study the subject. It is based not only on his published writings but also on the correspondence and documents found in his private archives many of which have never previously seen the light of day. Liz Greene addresses with thoroughness and detailed scholarship the nature of Jung’s involvement with astrology: the ancient medieval and modern sources he drew on the individuals from whom he learned his ideas about how and why it worked its religious and philosophical implications and its applications in the treatment of his patients as well as in his own self-understanding. Greene clearly demonstrates that any serious effort to understand the development of Jung’s psychological theories as well as the nature of his world-view needs to involve a thorough exploration of his astrological work. In The Astrological World of Jung’s Liber Novus Liz Greene explores the planetary journey Jung portrayed in this remarkable work and investigates the ways in which he used astrological images and themes as an interpretive lens to help him understand the nature of his visions and the deeper psychological meaning behind them. Greene’s analysis includes a number of mythic and archetypal elements including the stories of Salome Siegfried and Elijah and demonstrates that astrology as Jung understood and worked with it is unquestionably one of the most important foundation stones of analytical psychology and an essential part of understanding his legacy. | 'Jung's Studies in Astrology' and 'The Astrological World of Jung's 'Liber Novus (2 Volume Set)
