This book aims to establish the position of the sidekick character
in the crime and detective fiction literary genres. It re-evaluates
the traditional view that the sidekick character in these genres is
often overlooked as having a small, generic or singular role-either
to act as the foil to the detective in order to accentuate their
own abilities at solving crimes, or else to simply tell the story
to the reader. Instead, essays in the collection explore the
representations and functions of the detective's sidekick across a
range of forms and subgenres of crime fiction. By incorporating
forms such as children's detective fiction, comics and graphic
novels and film and television alongside the more traditional fare
of novels and short stories, this book aims to break down the
boundaries that sometimes exist between these forms, using the
sidekick as a defining thread to link them together into a wider
conceptual argument that covers a broad range of crime narratives.
Introduction to Engineering Design is a completely novel text
covering the basic elements of engineering design for structural
integrity. Some of the most important concepts that students must
grasp are those relating to 'design thinking' and reasoning, and
not just those that relate to simple theoretical and analytical
approaches. This is what will enable them to get to grips with
*practical* design problems, and the starting point is thinking
about problems in a 'deconstructionist' sense.
By analysing design problems as sophisticated systems made up of
simpler constituents, and evolving a solution from known experience
of such building blocks, it is possible to develop an approach that
will enable the student to tackle even completely alien design
scenarios with confidence. The other essential aspect of the design
process - the concept of failure, and its avoidance - is also
examined in detail, and the importance not only of contemplating
expected failure conditions at the design stage but also checking
those conditions as they apply to the completed design is
stressed.
These facets in combination offer a systematic method of
considering the design process and one that will undoubtedly find
favour with many students, teaching staff and practising engineers
alike.
Essential reading for anyone interested in contemporary
psychotherapy, Contemporary Jungian Analysis, written by members of
the Society of Analytical Psychology in London, covers the key
concepts of Jungian analysis and therapy as it is practised today.
Each chapter brings together two essays by different authors to
give different perspectives on themes which are of common interest
to psychotherapists of all persuasions. Topics include:
* infancy
* gender
* transference
* popular culture
* assessment and pathology
* dreams and active imagination
* the training of the therapist
* religious and spiritual issues.
Lorca in English examines the evolution of translations of Federico
Garcia Lorca into English as a case of rewriting and manipulation
through politically and ideologically motivated translation. As new
translations of Federico Garcia Lorca continue to appear in the
English-speaking world and his literary reputation continues to be
rewritten through these successive re-translations, this book
explores the reasons for this constant desire to rewrite Lorca
since the time of his murder right into the 21st century. From his
representation as the quintessential Spanish Republican martyr, to
his adoption through translation by the Beat Generation, to his
elevation to iconic status within the Queer Studies movement, this
volume analyzes the reasons for this evolution and examines the
current direction into which this canonical author is heading in
the English-speaking world.
Andrew Samuels is one of the best known figures internationally in
the fields of psychotherapy, Jungian analysis, relational
psychoanalysis and counselling, and in academic studies in those
areas. His work is a blend of the provocative and original together
with the reliable and scholarly. His many books and papers figure
prominently on reading lists in clinical and academic teaching
contexts. This self-selected collection, Passions, Persons,
Psychotherapy, Politics, brings together some of Samuels' major
writings at the interface of politics and therapy thinking. In this
volume, he includes chapters on the market economy; prospects for
eco-psychology and environmentalism; the role of the political
Trickster, particularly the female Trickster; the father; relations
between women and men; and his celebrated and radical critique of
the Jungian idea of 'the feminine principle'. Clinical material
consists of his work with parents and on the therapy relationship.
The book concludes with his seminal and transparent work on Jung
and anti-semitism and an intriguing account of the current
trajectory of the Jungian field. Samuels has written a highly
personal and confessional introduction to the book. Each chapter
also has its own topical introduction, written in a clear and
informal style. There is also much that will challenge the
long-held beliefs of many working in politics and in the social
sciences. This unique collection of papers will be of interest to
psychotherapists, Jungian analysts, psychoanalysts and counsellors
- as well as those undertaking academic work in those areas.

This is an accessible, lucid and stimulating account of the hidden
psychology of politics and the hidden politics of the psyche. It is
packed with original and imaginative ideas on economics,
nationalism, "good-enough" leadership, the citizen and the state,
women and men, fatherhood, and the citizen as a "therapist of the
world". The author offe
Andrew Samuels has established an international practice as a
political consultant, working with senior politicians, political
parties and activist groups. His lectures and workshops on the
application of 'therapy thinking' to social and political issues
attract wide interest. His previous books in this area, such as The
Political Psyche and Politics on the Couch, have been widely
appreciated. Now, in a long-anticipated tour-de-force that is both
compassionate and intellectually stimulating, this book deepens in
a new and innovate style his engagement with themes such as
economics, ecopsychology, leadership, aggression and violence, the
role of the individual in progressive politics, and sexuality and
spirituality in political contexts. The reader is encouraged to
move beyond conventional professional or academic discourse by the
inclusion of experiential exercises in the text. In this way,
activism and analysis, public and private, therapeutic and
more-than-personal are all brought together in a satisfying yet
challenging synthesis.
The language of Jung's writings, and of analytical psychology
generally, is sometimes difficult to understand. This guide, in
dictionary format, combines scholarship and historical accuracy
with a stimulating, critical attitude.
