A Terrible Love of War

Condition: Used - VeryGood

From world-renowned psychologist and bestselling author of "The Soul's Code," a profound examination of the roots of man's primal love/hate relationship with war. War is a timeless force in the human imagination-and, indeed, in daily life. If recent events have taught us anything, it is that peacetime is not nearly so constant and attainable as wartime. During the 5,600 years of recorded history, 14,600 wars have been fought-2 to 3 for every year of human history. War is a constant thing. And yet no one really understands why that is. In "A Terrible Love of War," James Hillman, one o...

Recent research has shown that a significant proportion of North American children are sexually, physically, or psychologically abused each year, and that the number of reports of adult rape, spousal abuse, and physical assault by strangers continues to grow. Beyond the epidemiology of societal violence per se is its impact on the mental health of those who live in our culture. Scientists and clinicians are beginning to trace the genesis of a number of psychological symptoms and disorders to childhood or adult traumatic events, many of which involve interpersonal violence. As a result, a new s...

Binding: Trade Paperback

Condition: New - New

Violence against women is a serious and very common social problem, affecting, according to some estimates, one third of women in relationships. Paradoxically, it is a problem which remains under-resourced and little understood. In this comprehensive and practical handbook, Paul Lockley guides the reader through the reality of such violence and different perceptions of it. This leads to an examination of how the distorting lens of theory can rationalize such abusive behavior, with the result that helpers can not only fail to be of assistance, but also put women at risk. The author, letting his...

Publisher: University of Missouri Press: June 1997

Seller ID: 43851

The title of this book is deliberately ironic. Domestic violence is not about love as we understand it, but about the need for men to reassert their threatened or lost command in a relationship. "Eight Lessons in Love" is a critical study of fictional treatments of that ironic problem, offering a radical new way of reading and teaching those works as drastic lessons in power and control.Drawing on his recent experience as a volunteer group co-counselor of male batterers, and on his lifelong experience as a scholar, editor, and critic in the field of fiction studies, Mark Spilka has devel...

Although violent behavior has typically been traced to adolescence. Ghosts from the Nursery points to the cradle years as the genesis of this problem. In dear and accessible prose. Karr-Morse and Wiley integrate real stories with compelling new research on psychological and physiological brain development to demonstrate that positive infant care stimulates the brains capacity for intelligence, trust, and empathy, while trauma, abuse, and neglect during the fine two years of life can lead to the permanent suppression of these important protective capacities.

Twitchell offers a lively look at some modern "fables of aggression" and their historical precursors. Twitchell begins the story in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when the "...
