Las teorías del doctor Sigmund Freud, padre del psicoanálisis y maestro indiscutible de la interpretación de los sueños, han servido como base para la formación de generaciones de psicólogos: es difícil imaginar un mundo sin su complejo de Edipo, su Inconsciente, su puro y su diván...¿Pero un mundo así será peor?

No está nada claro. Desde los albores del psicoanálisis, se han expresado dudas en cuanto a los cimientos de los métodos y teorías freudianos. Sin embargo, los críticos de Freud no han comprendido nunca de verdad lo que criticaban, tanto sus allegados, sus colegas como sus partidarios han escogido, filtrado y a veces hasta falsificado los documentos a los que el público tenía acceso. A pesar de estas ocultaciones, cada vez hay más indicios de la existencia de embarazosos esqueletos en los armarios del psicoanálisis. En el libro revolucionario que se dispone a leer, Eric Miller prueba que los esqueletos en el sentido figurado que llenan los armarios freudianos son esqueletos en el sentido literal: las osamentas de hombres y mujeres asesinados por el Dr. Sigmund Freud. Esperamos que esta nueva edición del libro de Eric Miller, que es también su primera edición en español, dé un giro a la percepción del psicoanálisis, y permita por fin al gran público volver la página confusa e inquietante en la que Freud ha inscrito con oscuros jeroglíficos la confesión de sus crímenes.

Rising life expectancies and declining social capital in the developed world mean that an increasing number of people are likely to experience some form of loneliness in their lifetimes than ever before. Narratives of Loneliness tackles some of the most pressing issues related to loneliness, showing that whilst recent policies on social integration, community building and volunteering may go some way to giving an illusion of not being alone, ultimately, they offer a rhetoric of togetherness that may be more seductive than ameliorative, as the condition and experience of loneliness is far more complex than commonly perceived.

Containing thought-provoking contributions from researchers and commentators in several countries, this important work challenges us to rethink some of the burning issues of our day with specific reference to the causes and consequences of loneliness. Topics include the loneliness and mental health of military personnel, loneliness and social media, loneliness and sexuality, urban loneliness, and the experiences of transnational movement and adopted children. This book therefore makes an overdue multidisciplinary contribution to the emerging debate about how best to deal with loneliness in a world that combines greater and faster connectedness on the one hand with more intensely experienced isolation on the other.

Since Émile Durkheim first claimed that the structure of society could have a strong bearing on psychological health in the 1890s, researchers in a range of disciplines have explored the probable impact of social context on mental health and wellbeing. Interdisciplinary in approach, Narratives of Loneliness will therefore be of great interest to academics, postgraduate students and researchers in social sciences, the arts, psychology and psychiatry.

This Handbook is designed to help cooperative education and internship professionals and employers design, carry out, and disseminate quality research and evaluation studies of work-based education. It offers examples of current, leading-edge studies about work-based education, but with a practical twist: The chapter authors frame their studies within a specific key research design issue, including finding a starting point and a theoretical framework; fitting research into one's busy practitioner workload; deciding on particular data-gathering methods and an overall methodological approach; integrating qualitative and quantitative methodologies; and disseminating results. Also addressed are questions and concerns that are relevant throughout the course of a research project: the use of theory in research; the role and relationship of program assessment to research; and ethical considerations in research.

By combining descriptions of exemplary research and evaluation studies with practical advice from top researchers in the field, this volume is a useful tool for educators and employers who are designing and carrying out their own studies, as well as a resource for what current research is discovering and affirming about the field itself. Educators from other fields, such as study abroad and service-learning will also find this book an indispensable reference in conducting research on experiential learning and teaching.

At the end of his landmark 1994 book, The Soul of the American University, historian George Marsden asserted that religious faith does indeed have a place in today’s academia. Marsden’s contention sparked a heated debate on the role of religious faith and intellectual scholarship in academic journals and in the mainstream media. The contributors to Confessing History: Explorations in Christian Faith and the Historian’s Vocation expand the discussion about religion’s role in education and culture and examine what the relationship between faith and learning means for the academy today. The contributors to Confessing History ask how the vocation of historian affects those who are also followers of Christ. What implications do Christian faith and practice have for living out one’s calling as an historian? And to what extent does one’s calling as a Christian disciple speak to the nature, quality, or goals of one’s work as scholar, teacher, adviser, writer, community member, or social commentator? Written from several different theological and professional points of view, the essays collected in this volume explore the vocation of the historian and its place in both the personal and professional lives of Christian disciples.

Christopher Lasch was a leading intellectual of the twentieth century. His work consistently probed the nation s political and cultural terrain, considering the unruly thrust of America s history and the possibilities of a better way. Hope in a Scattering Time is the first and only full biography of this towering intellectual figure.

Miller plumbed Lasch s published writings, his correspondence, and interviews and correspondence with his friends, students, and colleagues to create this comprehensive biography. In these pages Eric Miller captures the evolving nature of Lasch s understanding of the world and his fight for clarity and insight in a muddled age.

Christopher Lasch s sharp, prophetic stance caused many in his time to rethink what they thought they had understood, and to consider the world anew. Fifteen years after Lasch s death, the time is ripe to once again follow his lead and to reassess how we view and understand our world.

In Glimpses of Another Land, Eric Miller takes the reader across the American landscape in quest of insight into our times. For those facing challenges and choices from all sides, Miller offers not analysis so much as reorientation--the kind of sharpened vision that redirects movement. An age featuring 9/11 as its defining moment surely requires probing reflection and judgment. Here Eric Miller, with an alert eye and keen voice, provides both.
