A Psychoanalytic Study of the Wounded Healer uses qualitative
research to examine the popular myth that therapists are 'wounded
healers'. Rhona M. Fear presents the life stories of seven
well-known psychoanalysts and psychotherapists, including Sigmund
Freud, John Bowlby and Patrick Casement. Fear uses grounded theory
to analyse her research and categorise her results, focusing
closely on experiences including trauma in early life, attachment
problems, mental disturbance and resistance to authority figures.
The book identifies patterns and common themes in the life stories
of these leading figures and explains what this research can tell
us about the enduring myth of the wounded healer. Accessibly
written, A Psychoanalytic Study of the Wounded Healer will be of
great interest to psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, counsellors,
and others in the helping professions.
The working of the 1969 Children and Young Persons Act was the
subject of much debate in the 1970s. Discussion had been strong on
opinion and short on facts; this book, originally published in
1977, supplied some much-needed evidence, based on the results of a
research project funded by the Home Office Research Unit. It also
discusses the origins of the Act and its consequences for children
and their families. The authors describe the way in which two
groups of children were dealt with by the police, social workers,
probation officers and juvenile courts during the first three
months of 1972. Their findings depict a system which decides what
to do with ‘children in trouble’ mainly on the basis of their
offence behaviour rather than on assessments of their personal
needs – a ‘judicial’ rather than ‘welfare’ system of the
kind envisaged in the legislation. As a result of these
observations, the authors conclude that ‘the idea of the juvenile
court has been tried and found wanting, and that it suffers from
the congenital defects which fresh applications of money or
manpower will fail to cure.’ They recommend the abolition of the
juvenile court and the raising of the age of criminal
responsibility, proposing a number of controversial alternatives
based on principles of non-intervention.

Men in all stages of transition have come and gone from my life,
and each one has been entirely different. It's difficult to feel as
if you fail at being a man when you know there isn't a singular
'right' way to be one. In this illuminating and radically honest
book, Ezra Woodger interviews trans men and transmasculine people
to interrogate what masculinity is and what it means to be a man.
Covering a wide range of topics, from dealing with judgement and
expectations - both external and internal - to the experience of
gender euphoria, finding a community and the growth and openness
that trans-inclusive spaces can provide, the stories in this book
highlight the power of being true to who you are. With
contributions from trans men from across the UK and US, including
Fox Fisher, Ezra Michel and many more, their words offer comfort,
guidance and an important reminder of the joy and strength of
existing as a trans man, regardless of how you look.
This book covers the groundbreaking concepts in attachment theory,
as promulgated by Bowlby himself and during the years post Bowlby.
It sets out to develop the seminal concept of 'learned security':
the provision of a reparative experience of a secure base by the
therapist so that the client can imbibe what he missed out on
during his formative
This book covers the groundbreaking concepts in attachment theory,
as promulgated by Bowlby himself and during the years post Bowlby.
It sets out to develop the seminal concept of 'learned security':
the provision of a reparative experience of a secure base by the
therapist so that the client can imbibe what he missed out on
during his formative years. Rhona M. Fear points out that the idea
of learned security has developed from the concept of earned
security but is distinctly different. In Part I, Fear outlines the
origins and progress of attachment theory and the concepts of
earned and learned security. In Part II, she uses a process of
dialectical thinking to put forward an integration of Kohut's self
psychology, Bowlby's attachment theory, and Stolorow, Atwood and
Brandchaft's intersubjective perspective. The unifying concept that
binds these three theories together is that of empathy, but she
puts forward a particular intersubjective, collaborative view of
empathic attunement.
In contrast to widespread assessments that family enterprises lack
sufficient resources and capabilities to go global, many family
companies are competing successfully in an increasingly globalized
business environment. Worldwide, a large number of thriving
multinationals are still family-owned and/or under family control.
While there is abundant literature on the phenomenon of
globalization from many different disciplines, neither the
literature on multinationals nor the growing field of family
business studies have systematically investigated family
multinationals yet. This volume is one of the first to deal
explicitly with family multinationals and the role of the family in
internationalization. It situates itself at the crossroads of
internationalization studies on the one hand and family business
research on the other. Why do families continue to play such a
large role in some of the most prominent firms in emerging and
mature economies? How did they manage to maintain ownership
control, yet divest of unrelated business ventures? How did they
internationalize yet maintain control? This book identifies the
idiosyncratic strategies and structures of family multinationals in
different countries and at different points in time. A comparative
historical and case study approach allows us to explore the role of
the family through the firms' various internationalization pathways
and understand long-term developments and path dependencies.
Panic disorder and phobia are difficulties that are commonly
encountered in our consulting rooms. There is an ongoing debate
concerning the lack of provision within the NHS to help those with
mental health problems. This book puts forward a different method
of recovery called systematic desensitisation, which is rarely
covered by the many books

These five seventh-century religious texts cast light not only on
the development of the church in Visigothic Spain and its internal
politics, but also on its, at times troubled, relationship with the
Visigothic state and the history of that state itself, particularly
in the period when the Visigoths changed their adherence from Arian
to Trinitarian Christianity.
This book is a new annotated translation of Orosius's Seven Books
of History against the Pagans. Orosius's History, which begins with
the creation and continues to his own day, was an immensely popular
and standard work of reference on antiquity throughout the Middle
Ages and beyond. Its importance lay in the fact that Orosius was
the first Christian author to write not a church history, but
rather a history of the secular world interpreted from a Christian
perspective. This approach gave new relevance to Roman history in
the medieval period and allowed Rome's past to become a valued part
of the medieval intellectual world. The structure of history and
methodology deployed by Orosius formed the dominant template for
the writing of history in the medieval period, being followed, for
example, by such writers as Otto of Freising and Ranulph Higden.
Orosius's work is therefore crucial for an understanding of early
Christian approaches to history, the development of universal
history, and the intellectual life of the Middle Ages, for which it
was both an important reference work and also a defining model for
the writing of history.
