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.
