Being and Caring: A Psychology For Living (2nd edition)
by Victor Daniels Laurence J. HorowitzPractical information and skills for better living! This highly regarded edition synthesizes the psychological wisdom of such notable writers as Freud, Rogers, Perls, Jung, Skinner, and Reich as it offers students an approach that involves the systematic development of each part of the personality. Readers of Being and Caring will find ways to move beyond limiting attitudes and assumptions, use inner resources more effectively, make outer relationships more rewarding, and live their lives more consciously than before. Being and Caring speaks directly to the reader's past, present, and future life. Instead of talking about issues, it penetrates to the heart of readers' concerns about them. Rather than presenting knowledge that is here today but gone after the exam, it provides practical information and skills that can be put to immediate use. Through its exercises, it provides an ongoing workshop in learning to confront dilemmas of existence that every person faces. Being and Caring both informs and demystifies. What others have stated in complicated ways, Daniels and Horowitz say simply and directly. Students will appreciate the authors' warm, personal tone, the clear and sharp writing, and the coherent organization.
Being and Contemporary Psychoanalysis: Antinomies of the Object (The Palgrave Lacan Series)
by Yuri Di LibertoThis book explores how philosophical realisms relate to psychoanalytical conceptions of the Real, and in turn how the Lacanian framework challenges basic philosophical notions of object and reality. The author examines how contemporary psychoanalysis might respond to the question of ontology by taking advantage of the recent revitalization of realism in its speculative form. While the philosophical side of the debate makes a plea for an independent ontological consistency of the Real, this book proposes a Lacanian reassessment of the definition of the Real as ‘what is foreign to subjectivity itself’. In doing so, it reframes the question of the Real in terms of what is already there beneath the supposedly linguistic constitution of subjectivity. The book then goes on to engage the problem of cognition in the realm of Nature qua materiality, focusing on the centrality of the body as a linguistic-material hybrid. It argues that it is possible to re-establish the theoretical dignity of Ricoeur’s notion of ‘suspicion’, by building a dialogue between Lacanian psychoanalysis and three main domains of inquiry: desire, objects and bodily enjoyment. Borrowing from Piera Aulagnier’s theory of the Other as a word-bearer, it considers the genesis of desire and sense of reality both explainable through a hybrid framework which comprises psychoanalytical insights and material dynamics in a comprehensive account. This created theoretical space is an opportunity for both philosophers and psychoanalysts to rethink key Lacanian insights in light of the problem of the Real.

Being and becoming: A guide to act in the theatre of existence
by Jose Luis Perez Velazquez Vera NenadovicMany people spend considerable time seeking a sense of purpose in life and, concomitant with that, a sense of personal identity. This book demystifies this search, revealing why this search is a fallacy. The purpose is to inform readers about results in neuroscience and biophysics that may guide us to some liberation needed in the current age of great complexity in life with a diverse burden of chores; a deliverance from some afflictions that prevent individuals from achieving the true purpose of our lives. Among these afflictions we find two primordial concerns: the belief and subsequent attachment to a self, and the conviction that life must have a deep purpose in which we are major players. While this is a scientific text, it can easily be read by a lay audience, written with minimal technical jargon and with references to scientific papers enough to satisfy the curious. We have tried to extract the essence of scientific observations such that we can glimpse at those aforementioned concerns about the self and life, observations which help us comprehend what we are and what we become, the being and becoming of our own selves and natural phenomena around us. Jose Luis Perez Velazquez received a PhD in Molecular Physiology & Biophysics. His research seeks principles of biological organisation. He worked at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto and was Professor at the University of Toronto. Currently he is a Research Scholar at the Ronin Institute and lives in the natural paradise of Asturias, in Northern Spain. Vera Nenadovic is a nurse practitioner, neuroscientist and entrepreneur. She has 30 years of experience in healthcare from First Nations communities to intensive care units. Her research focuses on predicting brain injury outcomes. She is a clinician and researcher at Holland Bloorview Kids Rehab Hospital. Her startup company BrainsView is commercializing software that analyzes brainwaves to monitor brain function and recovery after head injury. She is married and lives in Toronto, with her husband and Rottweiler.
Being at Genetic Risk: Toward a Rhetoric of Care (RSA Series in Transdisciplinary Rhetoric #10)
by Kelly PenderRhetorics of choice have dominated the biosocial discourses surrounding BRCA risk for decades, telling women at genetic risk for breast and ovarian cancers that they are free to choose how (and whether) to deal with their risk. Critics argue that women at genetic risk are, in fact, not free to choose but rather are forced to make particular choices. In Being at Genetic Risk, Kelly Pender argues for a change in the conversation around genetic risk that focuses less on choice and more on care.Being at Genetic Risk offers a new set of conceptual starting points for understanding what is at stake with a BRCA diagnosis and what the focus on choice obstructs from view. Through a praxiographic reading of the medical practices associated with BRCA risk, Pender’s analysis shows that genetic risk is not just something BRCA+ women know, but also something that they do. It is through this doing that genetic cancer risk becomes a reality in their lives, one that we can explain but not one that we can explain away.Well researched and thoughtfully argued, Being at Genetic Risk will be welcomed by scholars of rhetoric and communication, particularly those who work in the rhetoric of science, technology, and medicine, as well as scholars in allied fields who study the social, ethical, and political implications of genetic medicine. Pender’s insight will also be of interest to organizations that advocate for those at genetic risk of breast and ovarian cancers.

Believe
by Sam FrostI don't claim to know all the answers; most of the time I'm still figuring it out myself. But what I can do is share an insight into the challenges I've faced from depression, anxiety, social media, toxic relationships, body image issues, and grief. I can offer you tips that have helped me find the light when darkness is all that I could see.When Sam Frost first came to the nation's attention after winning the second season of The Bachelor, it was as though her life was a fairytale. Then a down-to-earth 25-year-old who wore her heart on her sleeve, she captivated Australians far and wide. When that chapter of her life ended, it left Sam heartbroken and facing a public battle with depression and anxiety - but the support she received from people who reached out to detail their own struggles encouraged her to take back control of her story. Since then Sam has kept her connection with the public by being her authentic self - often raw and vulnerable, never hiding behind an illusion of perfection - and always trying to be the best person she can be. She pushed herself to take on a high-profile radio gig and then became an actor. In 2020, with her sister, Kristine, Sam launched BELIEVE by Sam Frost, an online community focusing on mental health, where everyone is included and imperfection is celebrated. In Believe, Sam shares her own experiences navigating dark mental health periods and, alongside Kristine's own insights, offers warm, gentle inspiration and tips to help you come through to the other side of your own. Believe is a personal story, a battle cry and a reassurance for the many of Sam's fans who have struggled as she has.Life isn't perfect, but we can try each day to make it beautiful, and Sam, Kristine and Believe will be your companions through it all.I've had my fair share of battles, and I still believe in the good in the world. I still have faith. I believe that I'm on a journey of self-discovery, of growth and evolution, and I want you to come on the journey with me. Hopefully my story will help you believe in all the beauty life has to offer.

Belleza emocional: Mis secretos
by Andrea FrigerioEn este libro, Andrea Frigerio revela sus secretos para estar bien y mantener el equilibrio entre el cuerpo y la mente. Comer bien, descansar, moverse, tener pensamientos positivos... Cuando todo está en equilibrio, nos sentimos plenas, sin importar la edad. En este libro, Andrea Frigerio devela todos sus secretos: cómo mantiene su figura sin obsesionarse con el gimnasio y las dietas, qué hizo para dejar de fumar, cómo vive el paso del tiempo, y qué herramientas la ayudan a mantenerse en calma y disfrutar del presente. Asimismo, habla sin filtro sobre el sexo, las relaciones amorosas, los embarazos, la crianza de los hijos, los nietos y la menopausia. Defensora de una belleza natural, la actriz y emprendedora recomienda tratamientos estéticos no invasivos y comparte los consejos de sus abuelas que aplica día a día, a la vez que incluye el aporte de sus profesionales de confianza, desde dermatólogos, kinesiólogos y nutricionistas hasta instructores de mindfulness. Belleza emocional es una invitación a recuperar la sabiduría que llevamos dentro para estar bien y vivir con alegría más allá de cualquier circunstancia. «Desde hace unos años me empezó a suceder cada vez con más frecuencia que se me acercan mujeres de cualquier edad a preguntarme de todo. Lo hacen en ámbitos públicos (restaurantes, teatros, cines, aviones) y formulan todo tipo de consultas, que en general empiezan con: 'Andrea, ¿cómo hacés?' o '¡Yo quiero llegar a tu edad como vos!', además de preguntas puntuales vinculadas con la piel, las uñas, el pelo, los dientes y mis hábitos de vida (qué como, cuánto duermo, qué deporte practico, quién es mi médico, si me hago cirugías...). Les contesto sin ningún filtro, incluso cosas muy íntimas, casi como si fueran parte de mi familia. Si alguien me para y me pregunta, respondo sin obviar detalles. Y muchas veces me pasa que me escuchan con atención y cuando termino de contarles todo, me dicen: 'Ah, qué viva, si hacés todo eso, seguro que vas a estar bien'. ¡Y sí! Hay que hacer algún esfuerzo y un poco de sacrificio, pero estar bien es posible. Yo vivo y disfruto la vida, pero también la cuido. Por eso pensé en escribir este libro, dirigido a todas esas mujeres que me paran por la calle para conocer mis secretos.»Andrea Frigerio
