A Terrible Love of War

By: James Hillman

Price: $9.98

Publisher: Penguin Press HC, The: April 2004

Seller ID: 155761

ISBN: 1594200114

Binding: Hardcover

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...

Counselling Women in Violent Relationships

By: Paul Lockley

Price: $24.95

Publisher: Free Assn Books: March 2000

Seller ID: 19806

ISBN: 1853434523

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...

Eight Lessons in Love: A Domestic Violence Reader

By: Mark Spilka

Price: $19.95

Publisher: University of Missouri Press: June 1997

Seller ID: 43851

ISBN: 0826211232

Binding: Hardcover

Condition: New - New

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 ...

From Friday the 13th movies to pro wrestling, from Stephen King novels to heavy metal music videos--violent imagery saturates our popular culture, reaping enormous profits for its creators, provoking outrage in its critics, and drawing squeals of delight from its consumers.

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 "...

This collection of essays focuses on the unconscious roots of human behaviour in a range of settings: the consulting room, the small group, the workplace, the therapeutic community and the GP's surgery. The author draws upon psychoanalytic theory to examine the psychological preconditions for violent behaviour stemming from a failure in courage. He observes that in violence there is an attack not only on the victim, but on the perpetrator's own universe of meaning and value. By examining the psychological implications of death, violence and other extremes, both in literature and in case materi...
