La Moda Negra - Duelo, Melancolia y Depresion (Spanish, Paperback)

Whereas not too long ago the terms "mourning" and "melancholia" used to be a part of the psychological lexicon, nowadays the concept of depression has taken their place. Arguing that this shift is more than a semantic one and that it speaks to modern culture's complicated relationship with loss, suffering, and grief, this equal parts memoir and social science study draws on examples from art, cinema, history, and literature, as well as case studies from the author's work as a psychologist. Exploring the unconscious ways people respond to the experience of loss, this eye-opening book provides an innovative tour of mourning and melancholia and our culture's struggle to understand them. "Aunque hace poco los terminos" duelo "y" melancolia "formaban parte del lexico psicologico, hoy en dia el concepto de la depresion los ha reemplazado. Arguyendo que este cambio es mas que semantico y que alude a la relacion complicada de la cultura moderna con la perdida, el sufrimiento y el duelo, esta memoria y estudio de ciencia social reune ejemplos del arte, el cine, la historia y la literatura, al igual que de casos provenientes de la labor del autor como psicologo. Explorando las maneras inconscientes en las cuales las personas responden a la experiencia de la perdida, este libro esclarecedor provee una gira innovadora del duelo y la melancolia y de la lucha de nuestra cultura para entenderlos."
