Guilt: A Contemporary Introduction (Routledge Introductions to Contemporary Psychoanalysis)
by Donald L. CarvethThis insightful and innovative book sheds light on the complexity of the concept of guilt, while exploring aspects of guilt that have previously been overlooked in psychoanalytic theory and discourse. Offering original insights on the topic, Donald Carveth looks at Freud's failure to distinguish persecutory guilt from reparative guilt, and the superego from the conscience. The significance of these distinctions for both psychosocial theory and clinical practice is explored throughout the volume. Carveth distinguishes varieties of punitive guilt, such as justified, unjustified, "borrowed" or induced, existential and collective. He expertly describes patterns of self-punishment and self-sabotage, while also addressing the widespread use of persecutory guilt and self-punishment as a defence against and evasion of reparative guilt, contrition, and reparation. Throughout the volume, Carveth critically reviews a range of recent contributions to psychoanalytic literature to support his theories. Part of the Routledge Introductions to Contemporary Psychoanalysis series, this book will be of interest to psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, social scientists, and social philosophers, as well as to those studying ethics and theology.
Guilt: The Bite of Conscience
by Herant Katchadourian<div><p class="description"><i>Guilt: The Bite of Conscience</i> is the first book to study guilt from a wide variety of perspectives including those of psychology, psychiatry, psychoanalysis, evolutionary psychology, anthropology, six major religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism), four key moral philosophers (Aristotle, Kant, John Stuart Mill, and Nietzsche), and the law. Katchadourian first explores the ways in which guilt functions within individual lives and intimate relationships, looking at behaviors that typically induce guilt in both historical and modern contexts. He then turns to the way the capacity for moral judgments develops within the individual lives and through evolutionary processes, taking up both normal and pathological (whether excessive or inadequate) manifestations of guilt.</p> <p class="description">The second part of the book turns to the socio-cultural aspects of guilt. In what ways does religion deal with guilt? Does it compound it or help individuals to resolve it? How do the major religious traditions differ in their conceptions of guilt? Secular alternatives in dealing with guilt are considered in the light of the key moral philosophies that have exerted the most influence in Western cultures. Finally, Katchadourian addresses the ways in which society attempts to come to terms with guilt as culpability through the legal process.</p> <p class="description">This personal work draws from, and integrates, material from extensive primary and secondary literature. It is a reliable guide to what scholars, investigators and clinicians have to say about the topic. Through the extensive use of literary and personal accounts, this book provides an intimate picture of what it is like to experience this universal emotion. While the book is not intended to be a self-help manual, each chapter addresses the issue of how to deal with guilt from a particular point of view. Written in clear and engaging prose, with a touch of humor, Guilt should appeal to a wide audience.</p></div>
Guilt: Its Meaning and Significance (Psychology Revivals)
by John G. McKenzieIt is acknowledged by most students of human behaviour that the idea of guilt is closely connected with that of man’s freedom and responsibility. It is a theme of law-court and pulpit, a concern of psychoanalysis and probation officers, a growing pre-occupation of the novelist. Our era has even been described as a ‘guilt-consciousness age’. It comes as a surprise, therefore, to discover that there are so few modern books in which the meaning of guilt is thoroughly explored. In the present volume, originally published in 1962, Dr J.G. McKenzie makes an admirable attempt to fill the gap. He begins by describing and analysing the various senses in which the word ‘guilt’ is used and by making a number of important distinctions. There follows a close psychological study of the origin and development of guilty feelings which is illumined by Dr McKenzie’s interpretation of ‘negative’ and ‘positive’ conscience. The author then turns to the legal, ethical and religious concepts of guilt and examines each with care and insight, always raising and facing the deepest issues for both theory and practice. In the concluding section of the book he deals with the question ‘How can the sense of guilt be dissipated?’ Against the backdrop of depth-psychology and theology he offers a penetrating and provocative understanding of divine forgiveness which plumbs the deeps both of man’s sin and of God’s love. Dr McKenzie writes out of a long lifetime of teaching and of clinical work in psychotherapy. The range of his reading and interests is extraordinarily wide. Through all his writing there shines not only his profound concern for people but his lively and indeed infectious conviction that man is still in the making and that his one true Maker is God.
Guilt: Revenge, Remorse and Responsibility After Freud
by Roberto Speziale-BagliaccaGuilt is an original, closely argued examination of the opposition between guilty man and tragic man. Starting from the scientific and speculative writings of Freud and the major pioneers of psychoanalysis to whom we owe the first studies of this complex question, Roberto Speziale-Bagliacca goes on to focus on the debate between Klein and Winnicott in an enlightened attempt to remove blame and the sense of guilt from religion, morality and law. Drawing on an impressive range of sources - literary, historical and philosophical - and illustrated by studies of composers, thinkers and writers as diverse as Mozart and Chuang Tzu, Shakespeare and Woody Allen, Guilt covers a range of topics including the concept of guilt used within the law, and the analyst's contribution to the client's sense of guilt. Previously unavailable in English, this book deserves to be read not only by psychoanalysts, philosophers. scholars and forensic psychiatrists interested in the theory of justice, but also be the ordinary educated reader.
Guilt About the Past
by Bernhard SchlinkThe six essays that make up this compelling book view the long shadow of past guilt as a German experience as well as a global one. International bestselling author Bernhard Schlink explores the phenomenon of guilt and how it attaches to a whole society, not just to individual perpetrators. He considers how to use the lessons of history to motivate individual moral behaviour, how to reconcile a guilt-laden past, the role of law in this process, and how the theme of guilt influences his own fiction. Based on the Weidenfeld Lectures Schlink delivered at Oxford University, Guilt about the Past is essential reading for anyone wanting to understand how events of the past can affect a nation's future, tapping into worldwide interest in the aftermath of war and how to forgive and reconcile the various legacies of the past.
Guilt and Its Vicissitudes: Psychoanalytic Reflections on Morality
by Judith M. HughesHow do psychoanalysts explain human morality?Guilt and Its Vicissitudes: Psychoanalytic Reflections on Morality focuses on the way Melanie Klein and successive generations of her followers pursued and deepened Freud's project of explaining man's moral sense as a wholly natural phenomenon.With the introduction of the superego, Freud laid claim to the study of moral development as part of the psychoanalytic enterprise. At the same time he reconceptualized guilt: he thought of it not only as conscious, but as unconscious as well, and it was the unconscious sense of guilt that became a particular concern of the discipline he was founding. As Klein saw it, his work merely pointed the way. Judith M. Hughes argues that Klein and contemporary Kleinians went on to provide a more consistent and comprehensive psychological account of moral development. Hughes shows how Klein and her followers came to appreciate that moral and cognitive questions are complexly interwoven and makes clear how this complexity prompted them to extend the range of their theory.Hughes demonstrates both a detailed knowledge of the major figures in post-war British psychoanalysis, and a keen sensitivity to the way clinical experience informed theory-building. She writes with vigor and grace, not only about Freud and Klein, but also about such key thinkers as Riviere, Isaacs, Heimann, Segal, Bion and Joseph. Guilt and Its Vicissitudes speaks to those concerned with the clinical application of psychoanalytic theory and to those interested in the contribution psychoanalysis makes to understanding questions of human morality.
Guilt, Shame, and Anxiety
by Peter R. BregginWith the first unified theory of guilt, shame, and anxiety, this pioneering psychiatrist and critic of psychiatric diagnoses and drugs examines the causes and effects of psychological and emotional suffering from the perspective of biological evolution, child development, and mature adult decision-making. Drawing on evolution, neuroscience, and decades of clinical experience, Dr. Breggin analyzes what he calls our negative legacy emotions--the painful emotional heritage that encumbers all human beings. The author marshals evidence that we evolved as the most violent and yet most empathic creatures on Earth. Evolution dealt with this species-threatening conflict between our violence and our close-knit social life by building guilt, shame, and anxiety into our genes. These inhibiting emotions were needed prehistorically to control our self-assertiveness and aggression within intimate family and clan relationships. Dr. Breggin shows how guilt, shame, and anxiety eventually became self-defeating and demoralizing legacies from our primitive past that no longer play any useful or positive role in mature adult life. He then guides the reader through the Three Steps to Emotional Freedom, starting with how to identify negative legacy emotions and then how to reject their control over us. Finally, he describes how to triumph over and transcend guilt, shame, and anxiety on the way to greater emotional freedom and a more rational, loving, and productive life.From the Trade Paperback edition.

Gulag Voices
by Jehanne M Gheith Katherine R. JolluckIn this volume, the powerful voices of Gulag survivors become accessible to English-speaking audiences for the first time through oral histories, rather than written memoirs. It brings together interviews with men and women, members of the working class and intelligentsia, people who live in the major cities and those from the "provinces," and from an array of corrective hard labor camps and prisons across the former Soviet Union. Its aims are threefold: 1) to give a sense of the range of the Gulag experience and its consequences for Russian society; 2) to make the Gulag relevant to English-speaking readers by offering comparisons to historical catastrophes they are likely to know more about, such as the Holocaust; and 3) to discuss issues of oral history and memory in the cultural context of Soviet and post-Soviet society.

Gunn's Golden Rules
by Tim GunnOn the runway of life, Tim Gunn is the perfect life coach. You've watched him mentor talented designers on the hit television show Project Runway. Now the inimitable Tim Gunn shares his personal secrets for "making it work"--in your career, relationships, and life. Filled with delightfully dishy stories of fashion's greatest divas, behind-the-scenes glimpses of Runway's biggest drama queens, and never-before-revealed insights into Tim's private life, Gunn's Golden Rules is like no other how-to book you've ever read. In the world according to Tim, there are no shortcuts to success. Hard work, creativity, and skill are just the beginning. By following eighteen tried-and-true principles, you can apply Tim's rules to anything you set your mind to. You'll learn why Tim frowns on displays of bad behavior, like the vitriolic outburst by Martha Stewart's daughter about her mother's name-brand merchandise. You'll discover the downfalls of divadom as he describes Vogue's André Leon Talley being hand-fed grapes and Anna Wintour being carried downstairs by her bodyguards. And you'll get Tim's view on the backstabbing by one designer on Project Runway and how it brilliantly backfired. Then there are his down-to-earth guidelines for making life better--for yourself and others--in small and large ways, especially in an age that favors comfort over politeness, ease over style. Texting at the dinner table? Wearing shorts to the theater? Not in Tim's book. Living a well-mannered life of integrity and character is hard work, he admits, but the rewards are many: being a good friend, being glamorous and attractive, and being a success-- much like Tim himself! He is never one to mince words. But Tim Gunn is always warm, witty, wise, and wonderfully supportive-- just the mentor you need to design a happy, creative, and fulfilling life that will never go out of style.

Gute – Böse Lebensmittelindustrie: Ein Diskurs der Ernährungsakteure
by Christoph Klotter Eva-Maria EndresEs ist nahezu zu einer Selbstverständlichkeit geronnen, die Lebensmittelbranche negativ zu bewerten: Convenience, Zusatzstoffe, Konsumententäuschung. Wie berechtigt oder unberechtigt diese kritische Sicht sein mag, sie greift zu kurz. Natürlich ist die Überflussgesellschaft eine Voraussetzung für die Verbreitung von Adipositas. Natürlich ist die Ernährungskompetenz zurückgegangen, weil nicht wie noch im 19. Jahrhundert über 80% der Deutschen Bauern sind, sondern nur noch maximal 5%. Aber wir haben heute vollkommen vergessen, wie entscheidend die Produktion von und die Versorgung mit Lebensmitteln ist: wir leben gesünder, wir werden viel älter, und wir werden viel gesünder älter. Wenn wir anerkennen, dass wir im Schlaraffenland leben, dann haben wir fundierte Koordinaten für einen kritischen Dialog mit der Lebensmittelindustrie. Dieser Band versammelt deshalb alle Beteiligten rund um das Thema Lebensmittel in Deutschland, um einen vielfältigen Diskurs über Ernährung zu führen.
Gute Finanzentscheidungen: Mit der richtigen Balance von Bauch und Verstand zu klugen Lösungen (essentials)
by Georg Adlmaier-Herbst Gabriele HornigDieses essential bietet wissenschaftlich fundierte Modelle und Werkzeuge für gute Finanzentscheidungen. Ob Hauskauf, Nachfolgeregelung oder Sparpläne: Viele Finanzentscheidungen werden mit dem Verstand getroffen. Doch selbst wenn die Gründe für eine Entscheidung rational sind, stellen sich oft diffuse, ungute Gefühle und Körperreaktionen ein: ein Kloß im Hals, ein leichter Schauer über den Rücken oder ein flaues Gefühl in der Magengegend. Solche Gefühle können Menschen lange verfolgen und selbst vernünftige Entscheidungen immer wieder in Frage stellen. Die zentrale Frage lautet daher: Wie können Menschen sowohl eine vernünftige Entscheidung treffen als auch eine, bei der sie sich rundum wohl fühlen? Wie kann man Kopf und Bauch in Einklang bringen und kluge Entscheidungen treffen?

Gutes Denken: Wie Experten Entscheidungen fällen
by Denise D. CumminsEine Expedition durch die Landschaft des kritischen Denkens Was ist kluges Denken? Wann bezeichnen Psychologen eine Idee als „kreative Einsicht“? Was verstehen Ökonomen unter einem „rationalen Agenten“? Mit welchen logischen Argumenten untermauern Philosophen ihre Forderung, „moralischen Imperativen“ zu gehorchen? Wenn Experten Entscheidungen fällen, folgen sie dabei gewöhnlich einigen wichtigen, aber bisweilen kontraintuitiven Konzepten. Sie nutzen spezifische Analysetechniken und Denkmethoden, um bestimmte Sachverhalte zu beurteilen, etwa wenn es zu ermitteln gilt, ob jemand schuldig oder unschuldig ist, welche Geldanlage die sicherste ist oder welches Medikament eine Krankheit am wirksamsten bekämpft. Gutes Denken erkundet die Wege, die Fachleute verschiedener Disziplinen beschreiten, um Probleme zu lösen, die unmittelbare Auswirkungen auf unser tägliches Leben haben. Die Lektüre dieses Buches bringt Ihnen die sieben wichtigsten Konzepte nahe und liefert Ihnen so das Rüstzeug, um selbst klarer zu denken, überzeugender zu argumentieren und klüger zu entscheiden. Cummins bietet einen geistreichen und klar gegliederten Überblick über die entscheidenden Aspekte menschlicher Denkprozesse…. Die klug gewählten Beispiele verankern die Themen unmittelbar in der Alltagserfahrung der Leser.“ Richard Gerrig, Psychologie-Professor an der Stony Brook University und Co-Autor des weltweit bewährten Lehrbuches „Psychologie“ Die sieben Schlüsselkonzepte des Denkens Wenn Sie dieses Buch gelesen haben, werden Sie in zweierlei Hinsicht weiser sein. Sie werden wissen, wie die besten und klügsten Denker entscheiden, argumentieren, Probleme lösen und richtig von falsch unterscheiden. Aber Ihnen wird auch bewusst sein, dass es durchaus nicht immer schlecht ist, wenn man diese Standards nicht erfüllt. Denise D. Cummins stellt Ihnen die sieben entscheidenden Denkkonzepte vor, die die Welt verändert haben: Denken lässt sich automatisieren, daher können wir Maschinen bauen, die denken.Um Probleme zu lösen, sollten Sie immer Wege suchen, die den Abstand zwischen Ihrer aktuellen Situation und Ihrer Zielsituation verringern. Einsicht ist quasi eine implizite Suche.Einige Gedanken führen zu weitergehenden Überlegungen, andere tun das nicht, und es gibt Regeln, mit denen Sie feststellen können, welche zur ersten Gruppe gehören und welche zur zweiten.Um herauszufinden, was wahr ist, sollten Sie am besten zuerst herausfinden, was falsch ist.Um zu entscheiden, welche Ursache etwas hat, ist es nötig, Alternativen zu bedenken. Sie werden nicht immer bekommen, was Sie möchten, aber Sie können herausfinden, was Ihnen am ehesten dazu verhelfen wird.Das Spiel ändert sich, wenn Sie es nicht allein spielen.[Cummins] diskutiert, wie Ökonomen, Philosophen und andere Fachleute definiert haben, was eine Entscheidung rational oder ein Urteil moralisch macht. Sie legt die sieben Grundsätze des kritischen Denkens dar und erkundet die Taktiken, mit denen sich fehlerhafte Logik korrigieren lässt. Scientific American.
