Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
In The Analyst's Experience of the Depressive Position: The
Melancholic Errand of Psychoanalysis, Steven Cooper explores a
subject matter previously applied more exclusively to patients, but
rarely to psychoanalysts. Cooper probes the analyst's experience of
the depressive position in the analytic situation. These
experiences include the pleasures and warmth of helping patients to
bear what appears unbearable, as well as the poignant experiences
of limitation, incompleteness, repetition and disappointment as a
vital part of clinical work. He describes a seam in clinical work
in which the analyst is always trying to find and re-find a
position from which he can help patients to work with these
experiences. The Analyst's Experience of the Depressive Position
includes an exploration of the analyst's participation and
resistance to helping patients hold some of the most unsettling
parts of their experience. Cooper draws some analogies between
elements of theory about aesthetic experience in terms of how we
bear new and old experience. He provides an examination of the
patient as an artist of sorts and the analyst as a form of psychic
boundary artist. Just as the creative act of art involves the
capacity to transform pain and ruin into the depressive position,
so does the co-creation of how we understand the patient's mind
through the mind of the analyst. The Analyst's Experience of the
Depressive Position explores a rich, provocative and long overdue
topic relevant to psychoanalysts, psycho-dynamically oriented
psychotherapists, as well as students and teachers of both
psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy.
WINNER OF THE BRITISH SPORT BOOK AWARDS - RUGBY BOOK OF THE YEAR
This is the story of 15 men killed in the Great War. All played
rugby for one London club; none lived to hear the final whistle.
Rugby brought them together; rugby led the rush to war. They came
from Britain and the Empire to fight in every theatre and service,
among them a poet, playwright and perfumer. Some were decorated and
died heroically; others fought and fell quietly. Together their
stories paint a portrait in miniature of the entire War. The Final
Whistle plays tribute to the pivotal role rugby played in the Great
War by following the poignant stories of fifteen men who played for
Rosslyn Park, London. They came from diverse backgrounds, with
players from Australia, Ceylon, Wales and South Africa, but they
were united by their love of the game and their courage in the face
of war. From the mystery of a missing memorial, Cooper's meticulous
research has uncovered the story of these men and captured their
lives, from their vanished Edwardian youth and vigour, to the war
they fought and how they died.
As Britain's Empire went to war in August 1914, rugby players were
the first to volunteer. They led from the front and paid a
disproportionate price. In 1919, a grateful Mother Country hosted a
rugby tournament: sevens teams at eight venues, playing 17 matches
to declare a first 'world champion'. There had never been an
international team tournament like it. For the first time teams
from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, Britain and
France were assembled in one place. Rugby held the first ever
'World Cup'. It was a moment of triumph, a celebration of military
victory, of Commonwealth and Allied unity, and of rugby values,
moral and physical. In 2019 the modern Rugby World Cup moves to
Japan in the Centenary of the King's Cup. With a foreword by Jason
Leonard, this is the story of rugby's journey through the First
World War to its first World Cup, and how those values endure
today. 'After The Final Whistle' was shortlisted for the 2016 Cross
Sports Book of the Year award.
This volume assembles for the first time a staggering multiplicity
of reflections and readings of John Fante's 1939 classic, Ask the
Dust, a true testament to the work's present and future impact. The
contributors to this work-writers, critics, fans, scholars,
screenwriters, directors, and others-analyze the provocative set of
diaspora tensions informing Fante's masterpiece that distinguish it
from those accounts of earlier East Coast migrations and minglings.
A must-read for aficionados of L.A. fiction and new migration
literature, John Fante's "Ask the Dust": A Joining of Voices and
Views is destined for landmark status as the first volume of Fante
studies to reveal the novel's evolving intertextualities and
intersectionalities. Contributors: Miriam Amico, Charles Bukowski,

Psychiatry by Ten Teachers follows the highly-praised and
successful 'Ten Teachers' tradition of providing the key
information in a chosen specialty as required by the medical
undergraduate, junior doctor and trainee GP, written by ten
respected experts in the field. With medical students closely
involved in the text's development from the outset the text focuses
on what the medical student and junior really need to know, with a
clear rationale for the inclusion of every topic discussed at a
level appropriate for the inexperienced, and will be of value to
their future career whatever field they ultimately decide to
specialize in. Completely up to date, this revised second edition
encourages students and recently qualified doctors to get the most
out of their psychiatry and community attachments, without
overwhelming them with unnecessary detail. In line with the core
curriculum recommended by the Royal College of Psychiatry, useful
tips and advice ensure this is much more than a standard
introduction to the subject, encouraging additional reading,
supporting critical thinking and bringing exam success.
