First published in 1977, David Levine's Econom ic Studies offers a critique and reconstruction of the theoretical conception of economic life. The premise of the study is that only an investigation of the system of elementary economic relations - value, capital, production - can overcome the confusion and misdirection which baffles progress in all areas of economic theory, and lay the foundation for further development of economic science. Levine discusses both the origins of economic science and the character of contemporary economic thought. He presents a critique of the ideas of classical political economy and of the notion of a 'labor theory of value' which excludes the possibility of a science of economic relations.

What is the root cause of ethical failure? Why is preoccupation with ethics more a part of the problem than a part of the solution? What makes ethical conduct a natural expression of who we are? What enables us to be ourselves in our relations with others?

Ethical failure has become a significant concern in public life, in organizations and in educational institutions. "The Capacity for Ethical Conduct" explores how qualities of character and personality either make ethical conduct possible for the individual or foster ethical failure.

David Levine discusses how ethical conduct is a special way of relating to others, one that secures respect for their integrity by assuring that what they do can express who they are. He argues that this special way of relating to others results not from knowledge of, or a stated commitment to, rules, norms and values, but from the way we experience ourselves, especially from our ability to make a positive emotional investment in being and having a self. Traditionally, emphasis on the importance of values and ethics in shaping conduct tends to be connected to the need to find fault in self and others, fostering an atmosphere where the self is put at risk in its relations to others. This means that an excessive emphasis on ethics, rather than assuring ethical conduct, tends instead to create interpersonal settings marked by emotional assault. Because of this, talk about ethics often expresses ambivalence about ethical conduct, which makes the familiar combination of preoccupation with ethics and ethical failure unsurprising."

The Capacity for Ethical Conduct" explores the ways in which the interpersonal world of work either fosters a feeling of safety or encourages various forms of emotional assault. Presenting case studes and applying psychoanalytic object relation theory and self psychology, this book explores the factors underlying ethical failure and the capacity for ethical conduct. It will be of interest to scholars and practioners in the fields of psychoanalysis, psychology, philosophy, sociology, organizational dynamics, management and public administration.

Slings and Arrows deals with narcissistic injury - the deep wounds to our core selves that lacerate, diminish, fragment, and impoverish us, lowering our self-esteem and inducing rage, shame, and humiliation. In this volume Dr. Jerome Levin presents the dynamic psychotherapeutic approach to the treatment of narcissistically wounded patients. Narcissistic injury is the ineluctable concomitant of each life stage. Slings and Arrows gives insight into the nature of these injuries during our journey from birth to death, demonstrating how the therapist can uncover wounds hidden from consciousness and heal these injuries. People are narcissistically injured not only by blows to themselves, but also by the humiliations of those they love, and Slings and Arrows suggests ways for the therapists to work with these "injuries through identification" as well. We are injured not only by life, but by therapy itself. Both patient and therapist are subject to narcissistic wounds during the therapeutic process. Slings and Arrows explores that pain, suggests ways to minimize it, and offers approaches for dealing with patients who have been traumatized by bad or failed therapy in the past. Beginning with an illuminating account of the self, our understanding of it, narcissism, and narcissistic injury, Levin goes on to illustrate these insights with detailed case narrations in which patients and therapists come alive in their mutual struggle to grow and heal through soothing, hurt, insight, and catharsis. In the process, patient and therapist confront abandonment, traumatic childhood abuse, unrequited love, loss, and mortality.
