Continuity and Change in Art - The Development of Modes of Representation (Hardcover, 432nd edition): Sidney J. Blatt, Ethel S... Continuity and Change in Art - The Development of Modes of Representation (Hardcover, 432nd edition)
Sidney J. Blatt, Ethel S Blatt
R6,024 Discovery Miles 60 240 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The representation of the form of objects and of space in painting, from paleolithic through contemporary time, has become increasingly integrated, complex, and abstract. Based on a synthesis of concepts drawn from the theories of Piaget and Freud, this book demonstrates that modes of representation in art evolve in a natural developmental order and are expressions of the predominant mode of thought in their particular cultural epoch. They reflect important features of the social order and are expressed in other intellectual endeavors as well, especially in concepts of science. A fascinating evaluation of the development of cognitive processes and the formal properties of art, this work should appeal to professionals and graduate students in developmental, cognitive, aesthetic, personality, and clinical psychology; to psychoanalysts interested in developmental theory; and to anyone interested in cultural history -- especially the history of art and the history of science.

Attachment and Sexuality (Hardcover): Diana Diamond, Sidney J. Blatt, Joseph D Lichtenberg Attachment and Sexuality (Hardcover)
Diana Diamond, Sidney J. Blatt, Joseph D Lichtenberg
R1,790 Discovery Miles 17 900 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

The papers featured in "Attachment and Sexuality "create a dense tapestry, each forming a separate narrative strand that elucidates different configurations of the relationship between attachment and sexuality. As a whole, the volume explores the areas of convergence and divergence, opposition, and integration between these two systems. It suggests that there is a bi-directional web of influences that weaves the attachment and sexual systems together in increasingly complex ways from infancy to adulthood.
The volume's unifying thread is the idea that the attachment system, and particularly the degree of felt security, or lack thereof in relation to early attachment figures, provides a paradigm of relatedness that forms a scaffold for the developmental unfolding of sexuality in all its manifestations. Such manifestations include infantile and adult, masturbatory and mutual, and normative and perverse. Also central to the papers is the idea that the development of secure attachment is predicated, in part, on the development of the capacity for mentalization, or the ability to envision and interpret the behavior of oneself and others in terms of intentional mental states, including desires, feelings, beliefs, and motivations. Topics discussed in the book will help to shape the direction and tenor of further dialogues in the arena of attachment and sexuality.

Therapeutic Change - An Object Relations Perspective (Hardcover, 1994 ed.): Sidney J. Blatt, Richard Q. Ford Therapeutic Change - An Object Relations Perspective (Hardcover, 1994 ed.)

R2,979 Discovery Miles 29 790 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Dynamic psychotherapy research has become revitalized, especially in the last three decades. This major study by Sidney Blatt, Richard Ford, and their associates evaluates long-term intensive treatment (hospital ization and 4-times-a-week psychotherapy) of very disturbed patients at the Austen Riggs Center. The center provides a felicitous setting for recovery-beautiful buildings on lovely wooded grounds just off the quiet main street of the New England town of Stockbridge, Massa chusetts. The center, which has been headed in succession by such capable leaders as Robert Knight, Otto Will, Daniel Schwartz, and now Edward Shapiro, has been well known for decades for its type of inten sive hospitalization and psychotherapy. Included in its staff have been such illustrious contributors as Erik Erikson, David Rapaport, George Klein, and Margaret Brenman. The Rapaport-Klein study group has been meeting there yearly since Rapaport's death in 1960. Although the center is a long-term care treatment facility, it remains successful and solvent even in these days of increasingly short-term treatment. Sidney Blatt, Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry at Yale Univer sity, and Richard Ford of the Austen Riggs Center, and their associates assembled a sample of 90 patients who had been in long-term treatment and who had been given (initially and at 15 months) a set of psychologi cal tests, including the Rorschach, the Thematic Apperception Test, a form of the Wechsler Intelligence Test, and the Human Figure Drawings."

R1,339 Discovery Miles 13 390 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Recent research indicates that depression, once believed to be relatively benign, is highly recurrent and does not respond well to treatment. The goal of this book is to facilitate the development of more encompassing theories and more effective treatments for this disabling disorder by fostering dialogue and enhancing the integration of work across the boundaries of separate fields. Each chapter offers an overview of the state of the art of research in a particular area - cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, epidemiology, developmental psychopathology, neurobiology - and explores both the implications of the latest hypotheses and findings for work in other areas and the barriers to constructive collaboration. In an integrative Epilogue, the editors identify and discuss the points of primary convergence. They note dissatisfaction with the DSM approach to depression because it is insufficiently informed by basic research, and with existing guidelines for intervention because they underestimate the need for more extended treatments for many patients, the importance of patient and therapist factors, and the central role of the therapeutic alliance. etiologically-based, dynamic interactionism model of depression that emphasizes recursive interactions among genetic and neurobiological factors, personality, and life stress in etiology. Finally, they reflect on the potential of this dynamic interactionism model to guide future research on mood disorders and the formulation of treatment guidelines that are better informed by science and more congruent with complex clinical reality.
