This book looks at the trauma suffered by those in relationships
with narcissists, covering topics such as surviving a cult,
dysfunctional families, political dysfunction, and imbalances of
power in places of work and education. This new volume by author
and psychoanalyst Daniel Shaw revisits themes from his first book,
Traumatic Narcissism: Relational Systems of Subjugation. Shaw
offers further reflections on the character and behavior of the
traumatizing narcissist, the impact such persons have on those they
abuse and exploit and the specific ways in which they instill shame
and fear in those they seek to control. In addition, this volume
explores, with detailed clinical material, many of the challenges
mental health professionals face in finding effective ways of
helping those who have suffered narcissistic abuse. From within a
trauma informed, relational psychoanalytic perspective, Shaw
explores themes of attachment to internalized perpetrators,
self-alienation, internalized aggression, and loss of faith in the
value and meaning of being alive. This book will be especially
illuminating and rewarding for mental health professionals engaged
in helping patients heal and recover from complex relational
trauma, and equally valuable to those individuals who have
struggled with the tenacious, often crippling shame and fear that
can be the result of relational trauma.

In this volume, Traumatic Narcissism: Relational Systems of
Subjugation, Daniel Shaw presents a way of understanding the
traumatic impact of narcissism as it is engendered developmentally,
and as it is enacted relationally. Focusing on the dynamics of
narcissism in interpersonal relations, Shaw describes the
relational system of what he terms the 'traumatizing narcissist' as
a system of subjugation - the objectification of one person in a
relationship as the means of enforcing the dominance of the
subjectivity of the other. Daniel Shaw illustrates the workings of
this relational system of subjugation in a variety of contexts:
theorizing traumatic narcissism as an intergenerationally
transmitted relational/developmental trauma; and exploring the
clinician's experience working with the adult children of
traumatizing narcissists. He explores the relationship of cult
leaders and their followers, and examines how traumatic narcissism
has lingered vestigially in some aspects of the psychoanalytic
profession. Bringing together theories of trauma and attachment,
intersubjectivity and complementarity, and the rich clinical
sensibility of the Relational Psychoanalysis tradition, Shaw
demonstrates how narcissism can best be understood not merely as
character, but as the result of the specific trauma of subjugation,
in which one person is required to become the object for a
significant other who demands hegemonic subjectivity. Traumatic
Narcissism presents therapeutic clinical opportunities not only for
psychoanalysts of different schools, but for all mental health
professionals working with a wide variety of modalities. Although
primarily intended for the professional psychoanalyst and
psychotherapist, this is also a book that therapy patients and lay
readers will find highly readable and illuminating.

One of America's most important contemporary thinkers, Stanley
Cavell's remarkable film philosophy proposed that the greatest
Hollywood films reflect the struggle to become who we really are -
a struggle that is foregrounded in the characteristically American
theory of Emersonian perfectionism. Focusing on his account of what
makes Hollywood movies so magical, Dan Shaw draws on Cavell's
theories to interpret a range of classic and contemporary dramas,
including Mr Smith Goes to Washington (1939), Boys Don't Cry (1999)
and The Hurt Locker (2008). Pairing of these analyses with
discussions of Cavell's precursors, including Emerson, Nietzsche
and Mill, the book explores a distinctively American philosophical
foundation for the study of Hollywood film.
You might not expect to find a fish in the desert, but if you
look, find them you will. In this book a nationally honored science
teacher tells true stories about real young people who study and
care for water, fish, and other creatures in and around desert
streams, ponds, lakes, and rivers. The book starts out with Katie's
story as she fishes for trout in a mountain stream. The stories
then twist across large dry areas where water is sparse. They
include urban adventures like Andres and his friends testing river
water in the middle of a city to see if it is fit for human use.
Other stories stretch back in time like the one about Kamella's
family using river water to raise fruits and vegetables as they
have done for over eight hundred years as members of the Ohkay
Owingeh Pueblo. As the desert rivers reach their oceans, the
stories wash out to sea.

This introductory volume presents an overview of the philosophy
of film, a burgeoning sub-discipline of Aesthetics. It offers a
sampling of paradigmatic instances of philosophers and
philosophical film theorists discussing the movies in a fashion
that takes cinema as seriously as any other Fine Art, leaving
little doubt that doing philosophy of film is a serious
intellectual enterprise.
In this much-needed work for our nation's youth, Daniel Shaw tracks
the interconnections of small regional ecosystems to larger ones,
and in the process demonstrates the accessibility of nature to
everyone. As Shaw notes in his introduction, the story that is too
often told about the environment is one about despair and
destruction, which basically suggests to young people that all is
lost and everything was better before their time. Instead, this
book tells true life success stories of young people involved in
citizen science efforts and how others can join in tracking climate
change, local wildlife, and other parts of the natural world.
Shaw's work demonstrates by example a story of hope for a natural
environment that exists in the world. At the core of this book is
the notion that humans are components of their ecosystems. Shaw
encourages readers to learn what becomes of their outputs and to
understand human contributions to various ecological cycles.
Sidebars and activities give readers a chance to discover these
cycles right in their backyards and to link their discoveries to
neighborhood environments.

Japan, like many other industrialised countries, is in dire need of
a change in treatment of the environment, as is evidenced by a
gamut of environmental problems. Its native religion, Shinto, can
be sufficiently isolated from other Japanese ideological traditions
in order to be considered separately from them, with beliefs,
values, themes, an attitude and a worldview that are specific to
Shinto spirituality, and in many cases already integrated into
everyday Japanese life. Shinto worship of spirits which permeate
the world is concurrent with a Japanese self-identification of
being 'at one' with nature. These beliefs can be shown to lead to
ecocentrism and potentially an holistic ecological attitude of
'respect for nature'. Such an attitude would be bolstered by the
Japanese importance of maintaining a 'mindful heart'. This book
aims to convince the reader that the beliefs and values exhibited
in Shinto spirituality could play a fundamental role in developing
a Japanese ecological attitude. It should be of particular interest
to those interested in Japanese culture, environmental ethics and
world religions.
Rosemary Fielding is delighted when impresario and family friend
Oliver Duncan suggests turning her novel into a mini-series.
However she's less kindly disposed towards his choice of leading
man, the actor Stephen Walker, and dreads having to meet him. True
to his reputation, Stephen is rude and arrogant causing Rosemary to
retaliate. With Oliver insisting they settle their differences,
author and actor spend a weekend together. Rosemary introduces
Stephen to the delights of the Norfolk countryside and likens their
blossoming relationship to the scarlet and black cinnabar moths
that abound. But the colours of the cinnabar also herald danger.
Increasingly concerned by a predator close to home, are the couple
destined to share only one summer together?
