Some men are especially difficult to manage in the psychotherapy
room. They are controlling, exploitive, rigid, aggressive, and
prejudiced. In a word, they are Authoritarian. This book is a guide
for therapists and counselors who work with these men, offering an
understanding of their psychological development and providing
empirically supported recommendations to work with them
effectively. In the first part, Robertson describes several
versions of authoritarian men. Some are Tough Guys (workplace
bullies, abusive partners, sexual harassers), and others are True
Believers (men who use religion to justify their authoritarian
behavior). Robertson draws from a diverse literature in psychology,
sociology, men s studies, and neurobiology to describe the
developmental histories and personalities of these men. Part two
offers practical and specific strategies to assess and treat these
wounded men developing a masculine friendly alliance, respecting
their personal and religious beliefs, and teaching them
self-awareness and self-regulation skills. Throughout, Robertson
emphasizes a reality that many therapists doubt: Some authoritarian
men "want" to change their behavior, and are capable of doing so.
This book presents an empathic and respectful view of a group of
men too often written off as unmanageable and unchangeable.
First published in 1905, this reissued edition of The Philosophical
Works of Francis Bacon is an edited collection based upon the
definitive seven volume edition of 1857, translated and prefaced by
Robert Leslie Ellis and James Spedding. Of great historical,
philosophical and scientific interest, this collection brings
together translations of Bacon's most important works, including
the Novum Organum, the De Augmentis Scientarium, the Parasceve, and
the De Principiis atque Originibus, as well as works originally
written in English, such as the Valerius Terminus and the Filum
Labyrinthi. The reissue offers a comprehensive and provocative
collection of the key writings of the man we now consider to be the
father of Empiricism who popularised inductive methodologies for
scientific inquiry. All works include prefaces by Robert Leslie
Ellis and James Spedding, and the collection includes an
introductory note from the editor John M. Robertson.
