Bound in the original black leatherette, decorated in shiny silver on the spine and front cover. From the front matter: "Despite nearly one hundred years of research, very little progress has been achieved in the understanding of schizophrenic behaviour... There remains considerable uncertainty even about the fundamental features of the hypothesized illness. RECONSTRUCTING SCHIZOPHRENIA subjects the difficult concept of schizophrenia to rigorous scientific, historical, and sociological scrutiny. The contributors, who are all psychologists with considerable clinical experience in the field of adult psychopathology, examine the concept of schizophrenia and ask how it attained its present position as the cornerstone of modern psychiatric theory. They ask why a biological defect has been assumed in the absence of hard evidence, and look at what can be done psychologically to alleviate schizophrenic symptoms. Finally they explore what new models and research strategies are required in order to understand schizophrenic behaviour. The result is a book that provides a distinctive and critical perspective on modern psychiatric theories and which demonstrates the severe limitations of an exclusively medical approach to understanding madness." Contains a Preface and 10 chapters, as follows: 1) THE NON-DISCOVERY OF SCHIZOPHRENIA? KRAEPELIN AND BLEULER RECONSIDERED by Mary Boyle; 2) THE SYNDROMES AND SYMPTOMS OF PSYCHOSIS by Richard P.

This copy bears the ownership signature of New Jersey psychiatrist Edward H. Lowell. Dr. Lowell, certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology in 1962, practiced general psychiatry and psychotherapy for more than 40 years. His psychiatric training included residency in a U.S. Army Hospital where he dealt with American soldiers who had been mentally manipulated by the Chinese during the Korean War. Dr. Lowell was trained specifically in the technology and techniques of brainwashing and mind-control. Because of his expertise in these subjects, in 1996 he was called on by Landmark Education Corporation (the successor to Werner Erhard and Associates, and EST) to comment on charges that the Landmark Forum constituted a "cult" and engaged in brainwashing of its customers. WIKIPEDIA ENCYCLOPEDIA's article on Landmark Education includes quotations from Dr. Lowell's conclusions about those claims. Third printing . Hard Cover.

Engaging cases, often with surprising twists, illustrate this practice-based theory of brief therapy with a wide range of complaints. Some of these, such as drug addiction or severe marital discord, previously thought too 'difficult' for brief therapy. However, as de Shazer shows time and again, once therapist and client work together discover 'what works,' obstacles in the pathway to solution disappear." References. Index.

Critics have long acknowledged Hemingway's lifelong erotic obsession with hair, but this book is the first to explain in a theoretically coherent manner why Hemingway was a fetishist and why we should care. Without reducing Hemingway's art to his psychosexuality, Eby demonstrates that when the fetish appears in Hemingway's fiction, it always does so with a retinue of attendant fantasies, themes, and symbols that are among the most prominent and important in Hemingway's work."
