Being Lived by My Life A Sort of Autobiography

Originally published in 1957 this book was a new departure in autobiographies. It is both enlightening and entertaining. There is a happy blending of narrative reflection and occasional extracts from case histories which gives it a delightfully human character. But it is more than this. It is a story of the profound inward adventure of an exceptionally inquiring mind. From childhood to professional maturity it proceeds through economic difficulties love and tribulation to science and general medical practice. It tells how Dr Berg became so convinced of the psychogenesis of human suffering that with great courage he gave up his practice and personal security to search for the causes in mental conflict. The story proceeds through specialisation in psychiatry to analytical training and analytic practice building up in the later chapters to a description of the troubled mind in all its manifestations and of the medical analyst’s daily work. There is a new explanation of the psychology of love with the inclusion of personal as well as professional experiences. Here as throughout conclusions have an astonishing difference from orthodox or familiar speculation and this is because they are based strictly on knowledge professional and personal. The style is natural lively and lucid. Here is an opportunity to combine learning with entertainment for Dr Berg has an extraordinary flair for presenting difficult things attractively without sacrifice of scientific essentials. This book is a re-issue originally published in 1957. The language used is a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication. | Being Lived by My Life A Sort of Autobiography

Reading and Loving

Originally published in 1977. Learning to read is probably the central educational achievement of any child's life. It is also a central concern for parents and teachers. Leila Berg known for her work in children's literature believes that the enjoyment of books and the acquisition of reading and writing is not primarily an academic or a technical skill but grows from a warmly physical and emotional base of shared enjoyment with another human being. This book traces the varied ways that babies learn to communicate and discusses the place of books in the lives of different groups in the community. It examines the types of books used in school and demonstrates that in many cases books themselves provide the major inhibition to the development of reading through their stilted and often formalistic vocabulary. The author's aim is that all children's first experience of reading should be a loving and sensuous one so that they can come to discover the power of books themselves. | Reading and Loving

The Muse as Eros Music Erotic Fantasy and Male Creativity in the Romantic and Modern Imagination

The Muse has long been figured as a divine or erotically alluring consort to the virile male artist who may inspire him or lead him to the edge of madness.

Each of the chapters begins with explorations into male artists' relationships with their Muse and moves to analysis and interpretation which uncovers cultural constructions of masculine artistic inspiration and production and their association with creatively inspiring and erotically charged relationships with a Muse. New insights are offered into the musical meaning and cultural significance of selected works by Rossini Beethoven Chopin Liszt Schumann Wagner Sibelius Mahler Bart³k Scriabin Szymanowski Debussy Berg Poulenc and Weill. | The Muse as Eros Music Erotic Fantasy and Male Creativity in the Romantic and Modern Imagination

Fear Punishment Anxiety and the Wolfenden Report

Originally published in 1959 the blurb read: ‘Dr Berg has made a comprehensive survey of the Wolfenden Report in regard to homosexuality and illustrated his comments with extracts from case material. He points out that whereas public opinion has so far lagged behind the Committee’s main recommendation scientifically far from being an advance the report may be considered lamentably reactionary. He says; Perhaps this report is a good lesson in the futility of trying to unravel and assess psychological phenomena without first removing the obstacles to understanding their meaning. The author deals with the subject in his usual forthright witty and persuasive style which is easily enjoyed by psychiatrist and layman alike and the book should be welcomed by all who seek to understand this controversial topic. Later chapters include a discussion of the wider implications of punishment and a new theory of the fundamental nature of Anxiety and Fear. ’ Today it can be read and enjoyed in its historical context. This book is a re-issue originally published in 1959. The language used is a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication. | Fear Punishment Anxiety and the Wolfenden Report

Homosexuality A Subjective and Objective Investigation

First published in Britain in 1958 the original blurb read: ‘To those whose sex life is based on heterosexual relationships the homosexual is a grotesque shadowy creature – a person spoken of with scorn. If you are not one of us it is impossible to realise our feelings when this occurs. It is incredible to us that a well-educated girl could make the following remark: What do they look like? I wonder if I’ve ever seen one?’ These words – written by a lesbian and taken from one of the personal histories of homosexual men and women which open this book – might be taken as its theme. In our statistically minded age we are apt to forget that behind the word homosexual there is always a person. Widespread misconceptions about homosexuality are particularly startling when one considers the disturbing prevalence. The purpose of this book is to bring into public light the knowledge of the manifestations of the problem so that they may be openly examined. The book is divided into two parts: Part One presents a collection of revealing autobiographies diaries letters and intimate observations in which the homosexuals speak for themselves. Part Two offers an examination of the cause and cure of homosexuality by important figures from all major schools of thought. It includes contributions by Sigmund Freud C. G. Jung George W. Henry Magnus Hirschfield Wilhelm Stekel and Sandor Ferenczi. In editing this volume Dr Berg has bridged a significant gap in the scientific approach to sexual behaviour. By bringing to life the feelings fears attitudes and anxieties of the human being behind the statistics of homosexual incidence as well as the causes it should become indispensable to the movement for intelligent sex education. This book is a re-issue originally published in 1958. The language used is a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication. | Homosexuality A Subjective and Objective Investigation
