This new book by David Shapiro, author of the classic Neurotic
Styles, throws light, from a clinical standpoint, on a subject of
importance, both theoretically and for therapeutic practice, for
psychoanalysts and psychotherapists, as well as for those with
general interests in philosophy or psychology. A Psychodynamic View
of Action and Responsibility explores the individual's experience
of ownership or responsibility for what he or she does, says, and
even believes, and their avoidance of that experience. David
Shapiro considers the self-deception necessary for these
disclaimers of responsibility and the surrender of personal
conviction and autonomous judgment. With numerous excerpts from
therapeutic sessions, he shows these to be self-protective
reactions forestalling or dispelling the anxiety of internal
conflict and also, as in false confessions, external threat or
intimidation. Shapiro presents this important thesis in his usual
lucid way and in many contexts. Its recognition, in his view, is
critical for therapeutic work. This book demonstrates the central
place in psychological dynamics of the subjective sense of personal
responsibility or ownership of what one says or does. The subject
is nowhere treated with the depth and emphasis on subjective
experience seen in these chapters. A Psychodynamic View of Action
and Responsibility will appeal to professionals and students of
psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy, as well as clinical
psychologists, CBT practitioners, philosophers, and legal scholars.

David Shapiro is a second-generation member of the New York School.
His associations with Frank O'Hara and Allen Ginsberg, Frank Lima
and Joe Ceravolo, Jasper Johns and Andy Warhol, in short his
personal connections to modernist and postmodernist art and artists
make his work part of the continuing legacy of that group of New
York artists.This is the first book of new writing from Shapiro in
15 years, and his place in the literary vanguard makes this is a
major poetry book in 2017.David's work is very New York, fragmented
and kaleidoscopic, erudite and abstract, lyrical and
cosmopolitan-we will push for profiles and interviews in larger
profile New York media.

In the Preface to the third volume, we described the evolution of
this Series and the changes that have taken place in the field
since the first volume appeared. The contents of the current volume
continue the com mitment to a broadly based perspective on research
related to con sciousness and self-regulation which was embodied in
the previous three volumes. Chapters are included which consider
the role of con sciousness in cognitive theory and clinical
phenomena. Several of the contributions to this volume are
concerned with the nature of self-reg ulation and the role of
conscious processing in the mediation of self regulated behavior.
Most of the authors adopt a psychobiological ap proach to their
subject matter. Our selection of contributors with a bias toward
this approach reflects our own views that the psychobiological
approach is a very fruitful one and that the "architecture" of the
nervous system places important constraints on the types of
theories that are possible in this emerging area. While the subject
matter of the chapters in this volume is quite diverse, the
contributions are united by their emphasis on the impor tance of
consciousness and/or self-regulation in the understanding of
behavior and experience. We have selected what we believe is repre
sentative of the best theory and research in the diverse areas
which bear on the theme of this series, maintaining a balance
between basic and clinical research."
This text provides a complete overview of the applications of
psychology to the law. Incorporating the contributions of social
and clinical psychology, this new text presents the material with
an objective view towards the complete scope of the subject matter.
In its clear coverage of the fundamentals of this field, it is an
invaluable introduction for students, as well as a reference for
practitioners.
Consultant Harry West is hired by the government in Hong Kong to
evaluate a business deal promoted by the son of one of the richest
men in Asia. But after Harry arrives in Hong Kong, he discovers the
assignment is not what he expects. His client wants him to find
evidence of money laundering and corruption, evidence that will
kill the deal. Harry has no experience investigating criminal
schemes. He harbors doubts about his courage, being all too aware
that the people he might expose will stop at nothing to protect
themselves. However, he needs the work. He takes on the assignment,
and soon it requires him to draw on resources that he never knew he
had. Along the way, Harry's journey is shaped by two women in Hong
Kong, an American journalist who is investigating the same deal and
a long-lost love who comes back into his life. A suspenseful story
about intrigue, revenge, and the bonds of love and memory, The
Trail of Money keeps the reader guessing until the end.
Commuters see their Departed on Boston's Red Line subway trains.
Consultant Harry West is hired to investigate by the Massachusetts
Bay Transportation Authority. His project turns personal when his
ex-wife Alexandra Ben-Tov meets their beloved daughter on the Red
Line who looks like the teenager she might have become if she had
lived. Are the visitors on the Red Line ghosts or hallucinations?
Either way, after Harry's team discovers the source of the
visitations, the MBTA declares that it will bring them to an end.
Alexandra has a brilliant idea: Build Visitation Rooms that
replicate the features of Red Line train cars so that people can
continue to meet their loved ones. But not everyone approves. The
Archbishop of Boston seeks to get Visitation Rooms banned in
Massachusetts. And a gangster who frets that his victims will come
back from the dead warns Harry and Alexandra: Cancel Opening Day
for the Visitation Room, or else.
Over several years, David Shapiro taught a Creative Writing/
Critical Thinking course on one prison yard in Arizona, where more
than half the students are serving life sentences for murder.
Though most of them never completed high school, their responses to
some unusual writing assignments show an unpolished brilliance that
ranges from transcendent enlightenment to raw pain and suffering.
The poems of an architect whose affection for urban reality and
imagined space is as evident in his writing as in his buildings and
drawings. The poems of John Hejduk are almost nonpoetic: still
lives of memory, sites of possessed places. They give a physical
existence to the words themselves and an autobiographical dimension
to the architect. Architect Peter Eisenman likens them to "secret
agents in an enemy camp."Writing about Hejduk's poems in 1980,
Eisenman observed, "Walter Benjamin has said that Baudelaire's
writings on Paris were often more real than the experience of Paris
itself. Both drawing and writing contain a compaction of themes
which in their conceptual density deny reduction and exfoliation
for a reality of another kind: together they reveal an essence of
architecture itself." This is the first comprehensive collection of
Hejduks poems to be published outside an architectural setting.
Beginning with a discussion of the problem of autonomy in dynamic
psychiatry and a review of its development from infancy to
adolescence, the author of "Neurotic Styles" explores, with
numerous clinical examples, the distortion of the development of
autonomy in obsessive-compulsive conditions, in sadism and
masochism, and, finally, in paranoia.
Dr. David Shapiro's first new book in ten years, Dynamics of
Character deepens his now-classic studies of psychopathology with
this conceptualization of a dynamics of the whole character--a
self-regulatory system that encompasses personal attitudes, modes
of activity, and relationship with the external world. Extending
and magnifying Shapiro's original vision of psychopathology,
Dynamics of Character is a resonantly reasoned response to the
reduction of complex processes of mind to products of biological
defect of psychological trauma.
