Do your dreams seem to have as much in common with real life as a
funhouse mirror? Don't be misled. Dreams contain extraordinarily
reliable commentaries on the conflicts and events of everyday life.
Properly interpreted, they not only illuminate your anxieties but
actually show you how to alter the course of your life - and very
much for the better. Dreams are so essential to our health and
well-being that almost all of us create them in clusters four or
five times every night. In this title, originally published in
1989, Dr Robert Langs, a psychoanalyst and dream researcher, goes
far beyond standard interpretation in showing how your dreams tap
the wisdom of the deep unconscious part of your mind. Through his
unique and groundbreaking technique of trigger decoding, you will
learn what your dreams are saying about your life, about the events
you must deal with, about the problems you are trying to resolve.
Dreams can be a kind of emotional camouflage, difficult and often
uncomfortable to interpret. Trigger decoding not only exposes our
emotional wounds, it also provides the balm for healing those
wounds. In the proper decoding of dreams, there is revealed an
intelligence, power, and beauty of mind that is unheard of in
direct and conscious experience. Decoding Your Dreams opens a
revolutionary new door to self-understanding and self-improvement.
With an expected population of 400 million by 2040, America is
morphing into an economic system composed of twenty-three
'megapolitan' areas that will dominate the nation's economy by
midcentury. These 'megapolitan' areas are networks of metropolitan
areas sharing common economic, landscape, social, and cultural
characteristics. The rise of 'megapolitan' areas will change how
America plans. For instance, in an area comparable in size to
France and the low countries of the Netherlands and Belgium -
considered among the world's most densely settled - America's
'megapolitan' areas are already home to more than two and a half
times as many people. Indeed, with only eighteen percent of the
contiguous forty-eight states' land base, America's megapolitan
areas are more densely settled than Europe as a whole or the United
Kingdom. Megapolitan America goes into spectacular demographic,
economic, and social detail in mapping the dramatic - and
surprisingly optimistic - shifts ahead. It will be required reading
for those interested in America's future.

There is always a lively interest in the supervisory process and

This book has been written for a broad audience. It is addressed to

This book draws upon analytically oriented settings for almost all
our clinical observations. It provides an excellent introduction to
the theory and technique of communicative psychoanalysis and links
it with the growing field of evolutionary psychoanalysis.
This clinical workbook stresses the details of sound clinical
practice, invites the reader to engage in exercises related to
these practices as he or she goes through the volume, and offers
practice in techniques that are essential to sound psychotherapy.
Robert Langs argues that death anxiety is neglected - in part,
because of treatment failures due to countertransference
interferences during treatment. He then discusses the technical
issues connected with this, whilst introducing the controversial
concept that mental activities are derived from immune system
activities.
Robert Langs has long been one of the most individual and
controversial psychoanalytic theorists. In this book, he
concentrates on one of the most prominent areas of his thought: his
insistence upon adherence to strict rules for boundaries (or
"frames") in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis.Starting from the
statement that "Throughout the history of the universe, frames,
contexts, rules, and boundaries have been vital aspects of the
development and very existence of both physical structures and
living organisms," Langs goes on to examine the profile of the
issues of boundaries in psychoanalytic thought. He discusses
Freud's technique papers on the subject, and goes on to elucidate
his own approach, rooted in his thinking on evolutionary and
adaptive processes which he has discussed in his previous work.
Throughout the book, Langs gives both theoretical discussions and
practical groundings of his ideas. As with his previous book, Doing
Supervision and Being Supervised (1994), Robert Langs here brings
his unique energy and viewpoint to bear on an important but
little-examined topic.
This book provides an excellent introduction to the theory and
technique of communicative psychoanalysis and links it with the
growing field of evolutionary psychoanalysis. It provides a clear
and stimulating account of some of the most recent developments of
lang's highly original and contraversial work, which many
practitioners continue to find deepy unsettling.
In attempting to unify psychoanalytic and evolutionary theories,
Langs offers a concise account of the most current versions of
Darwinian and neo-Darwinian theory. He then develops the arguement
that the emotion processing mind is an organ of adaptation that has
evolved by natural selection.
There is always a lively interest in the supervisory process and
its explication. Courses in supervision abound and the critical
role of supervision in becoming a psychotherapist is widely
acknowledged. It is for this reason that this book aims to present
the essentials of supervision, establish validated principles of
teaching and learning, define a series of optimal supervisory
precepts, consider some of the basic issues in this sometimes
difficult arena, explore the supervisee's concerns as the student,
and address the future of supervisory work.Supervision should be
principled and properly framed, sufficiently consistent and well
defined to assure the supervisee the best possible supervisory
experience and the supervisor a situation with as little
possibility of crisis and untoward reactions, and as much reward as
possible. This book is dedicated to both teachers and students: to
their growth, maturation and ultimately to better psychotherapy for
their patients.
This book presents some uncommon lines of clinical observation and
thought that hopefully will shed new light on the work and thinking
of the full range of helping professionals. It provides the
insights and techniques that characterize the empowered form of
psychotherapy.
This book has been written for a broad audience. It is addressed to
anyone who is at all concerned with a scientific grounding for the
art of psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, and for the understanding
of the human mind and its outputs via emotionally charged
communication. The book begins by establishing the need for a
formal science of psychoanalysis and then presents the distinctive
features of the communicative approach that moved it towards the
creation of that science.
Dr Langs writes I have preseved the workbook format(of a previously
published 3-volume set of workbooks)and have tried to select the
most cogent clinical vignettes available in the original books to
convey the essence of clinical(communicative)listening,
formulating, intervening and validating.

Some of the leading scientists in the field of hypertension
accepted an invi- tation to actively participate in an
international symposium on primary hypertension. Scientists from 13
countries - from western, southern, and eastern Europe, Australia,
and the United States - were present. The meeting was held in
Cologne in March 1985. After previous meetings and workshops at
Titisee in the Black Forest and several symposia on the renin-
angiotensin-aldosterone system here in Cologne, this symposium on
prima- ry hypertension was organized in order to induce and to
stimulate critical discussion on the basic pathogenetic mechanisms
involved and the recently established therapeutic implications.
Numerous studies have been based on the concept that the elevation
in blood pressure is mediated by several vasopressor substances.
For this reason the renin-angiotensin system has been considered to
be the essential endocrine mechanism involved in developing and
sustaining arterial hyper- tension. Other vasopressor factors, such
as catecholamines, vasopressin, and serotonin, have been studied
extensively and were assumed to play additional parts in blood
pressure regulation. However, several other ap- proaches have been
initiated in recent years.
The Birth of a Nation (1915) remains the most controversial
American film ever made, and its director, D. W. Griffith, one of
the most extraordinary figures in film history. It was the first
true feature film and did more than any other to launch Hollywood
both as an industry and as an idea. The film consolidated a trend
in cinematic technique and an approach to dramatic narrative that
define American cinema to this day. As a great but ideologically
troubled film that offers us a reflection of ourselves as
Americans, The Birth of a Nation continues to intrigue, challenge,
infuriate, and awe. Robert Lang's introduction to this volume
explores in fascinating detail the warped view of history that this
great film presents. Griffith, a Southerner, was intent on
resurrecting, idealizing, and justifying the South. In The Birth of
a Nation, it is racism that unites the white North and South; the
protection or abolition of slavery is not the divisive issue. In a
powerful synthesis of spectacle and narrative, Griffith seeks to
give the Southern cause a sense of glamour and high purpose. Lang
considers the film as a historical melodrama, and by examining
Griffith's "historiography as ideological practice," he traces the
way in which the bloody, traumatic reality of the Civil War and
Reconstruction becomes melodramatic myth. This unparalleled guide
to The Birth of a Nation offers a shot-by-shot continuity script; a
biographical sketch of the director; a sampling of contemporary
reviews; a series of essays by distinguished critics including
James Chandler, Michael Rogin, Janet Staiger, and Mimi White; and a
filmography and bibliography. Robert Lang is an assistant professor
of English and film studies at the University of Hartford.
