Gesammelte Schriften zur Psychopathologie
by Karl JaspersGilt die "Allgemeine Psychopathologie" als das systematische Grundbuch der neuzeitlichen Psychiatrie, mit dem Jaspers diesen damals jüngsten Zweig der medizinischen Forschung aus einer noch überwiegend klinischen Empirie in den Rang einer eigenständigen wissenschaftlichen Forschungspraxis erhob, so kommt den sie vorbereitenden Arbeiten eine grundlegende methodologische Bedeutung zu. In ihnen entwickelte Jaspers die methodischen Grundzüge seiner wissenschaftlichen wie auch - im Ansatz - seiner späteren philosophischen Denkart. Beide in ihren ersten entscheidenden Schritten verfolgen und beurteilen zu können, gehört zum Verständnis des gesamten Lebenswerkes von Jaspers.
Grundlagen und Methoden der klinischen Psychiatrie (Psychiatrie der Gegenwart #1 / 2)
by Gustav BallyDer zweite Teil des Bandes über Grundlagen und Methoden der Psychiatrie erscheint aus technischen Gründen vor dem ersten. Er behandelt die allgemeine Psychiatrie mit ihren klinischen und psychologischen Aspekten, die aktuellen Methoden der Therapie und die neuen Versuche einer Gesamtkonzeption. Zur Vermeidung von Mißverständnissen über ungleiche Gewichtsverteilung und mangelnde Vollständigkeit einzelner Beiträge soll nochmals Sinn und Zweck dieses Werkes betont werden: Herausgeber und Verlag beabsichtigten keineswegs die Schaffung eines "Handbuches" im alten Sinne oder eine lehrbuchmäßige Darstellung mit gleichmäßiger und erschöpfender Behandlung des Gesamtgebietes. Es geht vielmehr darum, die Fortschritte der psychiatrischen Klinik und Forschung und ihre praktischen Auswirkungen in den letzten 30 Jahren aufzuzeigen. Damit wird das Gewicht auf jene Gebiete verlagert, die neue Funde oder bedeutsame Änderungen der Auffassungen aufzuweisen haben. Nur hier sind ausführ liche Darstellungen mit einiger Vollständigkeit angebracht. Dabei sollte jedem Autor möglichste Freiheit gelassen werden, aus eigener Erfahrung und persön licher Sicht seinen Beitrag zu gestalten und das hervorzuheben, was er für neu und wichtig hält. Die ersten Abschnitte dieses Bandes behandeln die Psychopathologie und psychologische Probleme der Psychiatrie. Zwei Beiträgen zur allgemeinen Psycho pathologie folgt ein Kapitel über die heute aktuelle psychosomatische Forschung. Weitere Abschnitte über grundsätzliche Fragen der psychologischen Methodik in der Psychiatrie sind von Fachpsychologen bearbeitet. Sie geben ferner einen Abriß über die heute so wichtig gewordenen Testverfahren und eine Einführung in die Anwendung der Statistik, die auch für den Psychiater heute unerläßlich ist. Einzelne Gebiete kamen dabei scheinbar zu kurz. Die Psychopathologie z. B.
Intelligenzprüfungen an Menschenaffen: Mit einem Anhang: Zur Psychologie des Schimpansen (Heidelberger Taschenbücher #134)

Learning to Live: Understanding the Child from Birth to Adolescence (Psychology Revivals)
by Beatrix Tudor-HartOriginally published in 1963, this account, based on a lifetime of first-hand experience of the growing child, covers all the situations and problems which a child – and its parents and educators – meet in the first twelve years of life, from the earliest of feeding and sleeping right through to learning to read, write, and adjust happily to other people. Every parent wants to be sure that his or her child gets the best possible start in life. At the time so many books that were supposed to deal with the formative years of a child’s life gave advice that was incomplete, conflicting or ambiguous. It was for this reason that there had been so many pleas for a book which gave full explanations for its recommendations without sacrificing either warmth or humanity. The author produced such a book. The late Beatrix Tudor-Hart’s early study of psychology at Cambridge and in Germany and America was followed by six years of running her own nursery kindergarten for children of two to seven years, until in 1933 she felt that it was wrong to separate this age group from older children. For sixteen years, from 1938–1954, she ran a cooperative, non-profitmaking school for children of two to twelve years. At the time of original publication, the author was a lecturer in Child Psychology for Department of Child Care at the North Western Polytechnic, London.

The Perception of Causality (Psychology Library Editions: Perception #21)
by Albert MichotteOriginally published in 1963, this is a classic work on the psychology of perception. By means of suitable patterns on a partly concealed rotating disc Michotte was able to give the impression of objects in movement; and where certain conditions of speed, position, and time-interval were satisfied, his subjects received the impression of a causal interaction between two objects – for example, the impression that one object has ‘bumped into’ another (the ‘Launching Effect’) or is carrying it along (the ‘Entraining Effect’). In a further group of experiments Michotte studies the conditions in which moving objects look as though they are alive. A large number of experiments are described, and on the basis of them Michotte formulates a theory as to the conditions in which causal impressions occur. He also compares his own views on causality with those of Hume, Maine de Biran, and Piaget.

Phänomenologie des Wollens: Eine Psychologische Analyse Motive und Motivation
by A. PfänderDas Wollen bildet nach einer seit Kant eingebürgerten Einteilung mit dem Denken und dem Fühlen zusammen die Gattungen des psychischen Ge schehens überhaupt. Ohne zu leugnen, daß zur Unterscheidung dieser drei Arten des psychischen Geschehens eine sachliche Berechtigung besteht, muß man derselben doch widersprechen, wenn sich damit die Annahme verknüpft, als erschöpften diese drei Arten das Gebiet der Psychologie, als gebe es außer ihnen kein psychisches Geschehen. Die Psychologie als Wissenschaft von den seelischen Vorgängen hat es außer mit dem Denken, Fühlen und Wollen z. B. auch noch mit Wahrnehmungen und Vorstellungen zu tun. Freilich kann man den Begriff des Denkens so erweitern, daß man auch Wahrneh mungen und Vorstellungen darunter befaßt. Aber auch dann ist diese Ein teilung als Einteilung des Gebietes der Psychologie noch in mehrfacher Be ziehung mangelhaft. Zunächst ist die Scheidung keine reinliche. Denn es gibt, wie sich noch genauer zeigen wird, kein Wollen, in dem nicht ein Den ken und Fühlen einen wesentlichen Bestandteil ausmachten. Ebenso spielt im Denken das Fühlen in der Form von logischen Gefühlen eine wesentliche Rolle; und ein Teil des Denkens wenigstens ist eine Art des Wollens, näm lich ein Streben nach Gewißheit oder Wahrheit. Dieses innige Verschlungensein von Denken, Fühlen und Wollen macht es unmöglich, eine dieser Arten rein für sich der psychologischen Analyse zu unterwerfen. So wird denn eine Analyse des W ollens nicht umhin können, das Denken und Fühlen, soweit es Bestandteil des W ollens ist, in die Be trachtung mit hereinzuziehen.

The Road Less Travelled: A New Psychology of Love, Traditional Values and Spiritual Growth (Arrow New-age Ser.)
by M. Scott PeckConfronting and solving problems is a painful process which most of us attempt to avoid. Avoiding resolution results in greater pain and an inability to grow both mentally and spiritually. Drawing heavily on his own professional experience, Dr M. Scott Peck, a psychiatrist, suggests ways in which facing our difficulties - and suffering through the changes - can enable us to reach a higher level of self-understanding. He discusses the nature of loving relationships: how to distinguish dependency from love; how to become one's own person and how to be a more sensitive parent.This is a book that can show you how to embrace reality and yet achieve serenity and a richer existence. Hugely influential, it has now sold over ten million copies - and has changed many people's lives round the globe. It may change yours.
A Study of Brief Psychotherapy
by D. MalanThe original aim of the present work, which was initiated by Dr. Michael Balint, was to explore Brief Psychotherapy carried out by psycho-analysts who are relatively skilled and experienced. To this has been added an attempt to reconcile the 'clinical' and 'objective' approaches to psychodynamic material, by treating clinical judgements exactly as rigorously as is appropriate, no more and no less. A review of previous work leads to little definite conclusion. A complete spectrum of views can be found, from the most 'conservative' (e.g. brief psychotherapy is only effective in the mildest and most recent illnesses; the technique used should be superficial-any attempt to go 'deeper' will lead to long-term therapy; and the results are only palliative) to the most 'radical' (seriously ill patients can be extensively helped by a technique containing most of the essential elements of long-term methods such as psycho-analysis). The present work is based essentially on the therapies of nineteen patients, treated by a team of therapists under the leader ship of Dr. Balint. The study is largely retrospective, but it is designed to fill some of the important gaps to be found in the literature: 1. Detailed case histories are given of all patients treated; 2. Particular attention is paid to long follow-up; 3. A method of assessing therapeutic results has been developed which is regarded as psychodynamically valid and is based on published evidence; 4. The relation is examined between outcome and (a) the characteristics of patients, (b) the characteristics of technique.
Symbolism of Masculinity and Femininity: An empirical phenomenological approach to developmental aspects of symbolic thought in word associations and symbolic meanings of words

Thoughts Concerning Education in the Works of Georg Christoph Lichtenberg: An Introductory Study in Comparative Education
by Svein OksenholtThis is an investigation of the thoughts concerning education in the writings of one of the most original educators of the eighteenth century. Unappreciated and largely overlooked - as was Schopenhauer - by the contemporary educators, Lichtenberg nevertheless presented his generation, and generations to come, with some of the most useful (a great life aim of Horace Mann!) suggestions pertaining to education that may possibly be found anywhere in the annals of classical edu cation. Beginning with a biographical sketch of Lichtenberg, it presents an analysis of his philosophy of education, discusses Lichtenberg's thoughts on pedagogy and curriculum, analyzes his conception of morals and religion to the extent that these ideas are specifically related to education, examines his notions of educational psychology, determines Lichtenberg's views on British education in the eighteenth century, compares some of Lichtenberg's educational ideas in the works of contemporary thinkers and educators, notably Schopenhauer, James and Dewey. A concomitant aspect of this book is a portrayal of Lichtenberg as found in his works, viz., as a student, professor, philosopher, educator, moralist, psychologist, comparative educationist, as a searcher for absolute educational truth - attainable only in a world to come.

Zur Psychologie des produktiven Denkens
by Karl DunckerDas produktive Denken dort zu studieren, wo - weithin kenntlic- produktiv gedacht wurde, ist gewiß verlockend, und ohne Zweifel könnten aus biographischem Material wichtige Aufschlüsse über die Genese produktiver Gedanken gewonnen werden. Aber obschon das Gewitter das erhabenste Beispiel elektrischer Entladung ist, zur Er forschung ihrer Gesetzmäßigkeiten sind die kleinen Funken im Laboratorium tauglicher. Das Komplizierte, schwer Zugängliche an einfachen, "handlichen" Formen zu studieren, ist die Methode der experimentellen Wissenschaft; bei dieser Vereinfachung gerade das Wesentliche draußen zu lassen, ihre notorische Gefahr. Die experi mentelle Psychologie ist dieser Gefahr vor allen anderen Wissenschaften ausgesetzt. Möge es mir gelungen sein, den Gegenstand zu vereinfachen, ohne ihn versimpelnd zu entstellen. Die Gebietsbeschränkung des Untersuchungsmaterials auf praktisch technische und mathematische Denkaufgaben ist mir durchaus bewußt. Auch sie geschah aus Gründen leichterer Zugänglichkeit, Experimentier barkeit. Ich glaube jedoch - und der Leser dürfte (nach der Lektüre) hierin mit mir einig sein -, daß wesentliche Züge der Lösungsfindung vom speziellen Denkmaterial unabhängig sind. Aber noch für eine andere Beschränkung bin ich dem Leser Rechenschaft schuldig. Es wurde bei den denkpsychologischen Analysen bewußt abgesehen von allen Sachverhalten, die für das Problem des Findens, des 8V(!ÜJK8lV, nicht unmittelbare Bedeutung haben - mögen sie auch noch so wesentlich zum vollen psychologischen Bestand eines Findungsprozesses gehören.
Cognition (Psychology Revivals)
by Frank H. GeorgeOriginally published in 1962, the problems of cognition dealt with in this book include learning, perception, thinking, memory and linguistic behaviour. It is not a textbook in the ordinary sense, since it presents a particular approach to the subject through experimental psychology, and also, to some extent, through philosophy, cybernetics and logic. A brief mention is made of ethological and physiological matters. It argues that cognition is a stepping-stone to integration with allied sciences. A large-scale study of the organism-as-a-whole needs to be supplemented by other biological and logical studies, but preparatory to this, cognitive psychologists must try and discover more rigorous ways of presenting their theories and models, since the mode of communicating an idea can never be wholly separated from that idea. Furthermore cognition, even at the organism-as-a-whole level, needs to broaden out and link up with social studies and studies in personality and individual difference. This book, pointed to a new direction that psychology should take; without contributing greatly to existing knowledge in the obvious sense, it suggests new methods and new ways of regarding the existing knowledge at the time.

Collected Works of C.G. Jung, Volume 4: Freud & Psychoanalysis
by C. G. Jung Gerhard Adler R. F.C. HullThis book gives the substance of Jung's published writings on Freud and psychoanalysis between 1906 and 1916, with two later papers. The book covers the period of the enthusiastic collaboration between the two pioneers of psychology through the years when Jung's growing appreciation of religious experience and his criticism of Freud's emphasis on pathology led, with other differences, to his formal break with his mentor.

Connections: A Story of Human Feeling
by Karl DeisserothIn this riveting journey through the hidden realms of the human mind, a world-renowned psychiatrist and neuroscientist explores the origins of human emotion, and examines what mental illnesses reveal about all of us - how the broken can illuminate the unbroken.'Remarkable ... he has reimagined and redefined what literary non-fiction can be ... poetic, mind-stretching, and through it all, deeply human' Daniel Levitin'Revelatory ... it recalls the case histories of Oliver Sacks, at times the sweep of Yuval Harari's Sapiens. He writes with an evident love of words - but also, with a lucid line of scientific enquiry' GuardianWhy do we feel what we feel? Mental illness is one of the greatest causes of human suffering, but the reasons we bear this burden, and the nature of these diseases, have remained mysterious. Now, our understanding has reached a tipping point. In Connections, Professor Karl Deisseroth intertwines gripping case studies from his experience as an emergency psychiatry physician, with breakthrough scientific discoveries from astounding new technology (including optogenetics, which he developed to allow turning specific brain cells on or off, with light).By linking insights from this technology to deeply moving stories of his patients and to our shared evolutionary history, Deisseroth tells a larger story about the origins of human emotion. A young woman with an eating disorder reveals how the mind can rebel against the brain's most primitive drives of hunger and thirst; an older man, smothered into silence by dementia, shows how humans evolved to feel joy and its absence; and a lonely Uyghur woman far from her homeland teaches both the importance - and challenges - of deep social bonds.Addressing some of the most timeless questions about the human condition while illuminating the roots of misunderstood disorders such as depression, psychosis, schizophrenia and sociopathy, Connections transforms the way we understand the brain, and our selves.
