Jung’s Psychoid Concept Contextualised

Jung’s Psychoid Concept Contextualised

Jung’s Psychoid Concept Contextualised investigates the body-mind question from a clinical Jungian standpoint and establishes a contextual topography for Jung’s psychoid concept insofar as it relates to a deeply unconscious realm that is neither solely physiological nor psychological. Seen as a somewhat mysterious and little understood element of Jung’s work this concept nonetheless holds a fundamental position in his overall understanding of the mind since he saw the psychoid unconscious as the foundation of archetypal experience. Situating the concept within Jung’s oeuvre and drawing on interviews with clinicians about their clinical work this book interrogates the concept of the psychoid in a novel way. Providing an elucidation of Jung’s ideas by tracing the historical development of the psychoid concept Addison sets its evolution in a variety of contexts within the history of ideas in order to offer differing perspectives from which to frame an understanding. Addison continues this trajectory through to the present day by reviewing subsequent studies undertaken by the post-Jungian community. This contextual background affords an understanding of the psychoid concept from a variety of different perspectives both cultural and clinical. The book provides an important addition to Jungian theory demonstrating the usefulness of Jung’s psychoid concept in the present day and offering a range of understandings about its clinical and cultural applications. This book will be of great interest to the international Jungian community including academics researchers and postgraduate students engaged in the study of Jungian or analystical psychology. It should also be essential reading for clinicians.

Goldratt's Rules of Flow

Goldratt's Rules of Flow

Marc Wilson is not giving up. He is determined to turn around the struggling family company and keep it despite his father’s decision to sell. The problem is that they are late on more and more projects and their customers won’t tolerate it anymore. Marc is looking everywhere for a solution when in one of his MBA classes he comes across a unique approach that views operations in terms of flow. The concept of flow is straightforward. It’s easy to visualize the stream of projects going through the system and understand that if something clogs the flow the projects pile up; the lead time gets longer and as a result the reliability of due dates suffers. What is not so easy is to uncover the specific obstacles that obstruct the flow and figure out how to remove them. Goldratt’s Rules of Flow is the book that the great Eli Goldratt author of The Goal wanted to write about his later developments in the field of project management. As he passed away before accomplishing it his daughter Efrat Goldratt a brilliant author in her own right has picked up the mantle. Whether you’re a manager in engineering IT service or sales this book will help you gain much better predictability and significantly improve your delivery. | Goldratt's Rules of Flow

Concept Analysis in Nursing A New Approach

Concept Analysis in Nursing A New Approach

Concept analysis is an established genre of inquiry in nursing introduced in the 1970s. Currently over 100 concept studies are published annually yet the methods used within this field have rarely been questioned. In Concept Analysis in Nursing: A New Approach Paley provides a critical analysis of the philosophical assumptions that underpin nursing’s concept analysis methods. He argues provocatively that there are no such things as concepts as traditionally conceived. Drawing on Wittgenstein and Construction Grammar the book first makes a case for dispensing with the traditional concept of a ‘concept’ and then provides two examples of a new approach examining the use of ‘hope’ and ‘moral distress’. Casting doubt on the assumption that ‘hope’ always stands for an ‘inner’ state of the person the book shows that the word’s function varies with the grammatical construction it appears in. Similarly it argues that ‘moral distress’ is not the name of a mental state but a normative classification used to bolster a narrative concerning nursing’s identity. Concept Analysis in Nursing is a fresh and challenging book written by a philosopher interested in nursing. It will appeal to researchers and postgraduate students in the areas of nursing health philosophy and linguistics. It will also interest those familiar with the author’s previous book Phenomenology as Qualitative Research. | Concept Analysis in Nursing A New Approach

C. G. Jung’s Archetype Concept Theory Research and Applications

C. G. Jung’s Archetype Concept Theory Research and Applications

The concept of archetypes is at the core of C. G. Jung’s analytical psychology. In this interesting and accessible volume Roesler summarises the classical theory of archetypes and the archetypal stages of the individuation process as it was developed by Jung and his students. Various applications of archetypes in cultural studies as well as in clinical practice are demonstrated with detailed case studies dream series myths fairy tales and so on. The book also explores how the concept has further developed as a result of research and for the first time integrates findings from anthropology human genetics and the neurosciences. Based on these contemporary insights Roesler also makes a compelling argument for why some of Jung’s views on the concept should be comprehensively revised. Offering new insights on foundational Jungian topics like the collective unconscious persona and shadow C. G.

Soil Settlement and the Concept of Effective Stress and Shear Strength Interaction

Soil Settlement and the Concept of Effective Stress and Shear Strength Interaction

This book is about the principal concept of soil mechanics that become the basis in explaining the soil mechanical behaviours. It is the extended concept of effective stress of Terzaghi and it is known as the concept of effective stress and shear strength interaction. This new concept incorporates the role of mobilised shear strength developed within the soil body in resisting the compressive effect. Based on this new concept a comprehensive soil volume change framework has been developed known as Rotational Multiple Yield Surface Framework (RMYSF). This RMYSF is able to explain and quantify the puzzled and complex soil volume change behaviours. The main advantage of this RMYSF is that it is able to make a good prediction of soil and rock stress-strain responses at any effective stress. This will lead to accurate prediction of soil and rock settlements. Due to its simplicity and the comprehensive nature of this new fundamental concept in soil and rock mechanics it will eventually be included in soil and rock mechanics syllabus for undergraduate and postgraduate courses. This book would be very useful for geotechnical engineers dealing with soil settlement underground excavation computer modelling rock mechanics road engineering earth and rock dam engineering and tunnel engineering. | Soil Settlement and the Concept of Effective Stress and Shear Strength Interaction

An Analysis of Gilbert Ryle's The Concept of Mind

An Analysis of Gilbert Ryle's The Concept of Mind

Gilbert Ryle’s 1949 The Concept of Mind is now famous above all as the origin of the phrase “the ghost in the machine” – a phrase Ryle used to attack the popular idea that our bodies and minds are separate. His own position was that mental acts are not at all distinct from bodily actions. Indeed they are the same thing merely described in different ways – and if one cuts through the confusing language of the old philosophical debates he suggests that becomes clear. While in many ways modern philosophers of mind have moved on from or discarded Ryle’s actual arguments The Concept of Mind remains a classic example of two central critical thinking skills: interpretation and reasoning. Ryle was what is known as an “ordinary language” philosopher – a school who considered many philosophical problems to exist purely because of philosophical language. He therefore considered his task as a philosopher to be one of cutting through confusing language and clarifying matters – exemplifying the critical thinking skill of interpretation at its best. Rather than adding to philosophical knowledge as such moreover he saw his role as one of mapping it – giving it what he called a “logical geography. ” As such The Concept of Mind is also all about reasoning: laying out organizing and systematizing clear arguments. | An Analysis of Gilbert Ryle's The Concept of Mind

A People's Europe Turning a Concept into Content

A People's Europe Turning a Concept into Content

First published in 1999. The aim of this book is to assess the impact of the rules of Community law or absence thereof of some issues which directly and intimately affect the level and quality of living in the European Union and to concentrate on problems experienced first- hand by a number of ordinary people working and living within the EU. Thus the topics covered range from an attempt to define some key features of the nebulous and controversial concept of ‘citizenship of the Union’ to policy networks and implementation of the Union’s structural funds. Furthermore in assessing and addressing intensity of the integrationist effort needed academic specialists tackle the sex religion and race aspects of discrimination within the Union critically examine the EU immigration and asylum policy and the limited rights and particular treatment that various categories of third country nationals enjoy under Community and/or national law analyse the external dimension of the Community’s Human Rights policy and seek to establish whether or not any common ground exists between the cultural identities of the Member States. | A People's Europe Turning a Concept into Content

The Concept of Enterprise Architecture from Theory to Practice

The Concept of Enterprise Architecture from Theory to Practice

Even though the field of enterprise architecture (EA) has matured many organisations still struggle with its development and implementation particularly those organisations involved in continuous transformational cycles and subjected to different environmental trends. This book is intended to assist organisations in getting a grip on the factors influencing EA implementation and gaining a deeper understanding of why things happen the way they do in the practice of EA. It is a comprehensive and definitive resource that is useful to both business professionals and academics. The book presents an approach for the development implementation or institutionalisation of EA that is independent of any method or other architecture frameworks. It can be applied directly using a realistic selection of organizational variables. The approach has two distinctive features that support EA even in complex environments: From both technical and non-technical perspectives it identifies influencing factors and how they manifest in the practice of EA in an organization It offers linear and practical mechanisms for developing and implementing EA to fortify the practice of the concept in an organisation This approach represents a significant contribution to EA. Starting with descriptions for EA the book offers deepened models and frameworks for the development and implementation of EA at the domain level. It also covers factors upon which a model is built for the institutionalisation of the concept. Additionally the book discusses the implications of EA for sponsors architects and other stakeholders responsible for EA development implementation and institutionalisation. | The Concept of Enterprise Architecture from Theory to Practice

The Analytic Field A Clinical Concept

The Analytic Field A Clinical Concept

Until now no book has ever attempted to compare and contrast contributions on analytic field theory and at the same time to explore its clinical and technical implications. This volume is intended for the first time to link together many of these writings and to provide an initial wide-ranging survey of the subject - for it is our contention that a theory of the field in various of its loci can also be inhabited by different theories. A particular aim of this book is to present not only theoretical discussions of field theory but also contributions on clinical work and technique. For this reason we have given preference to articles with a substantial clinical component which exemplify specific underlying technical theory. In the Babel of psychoanalytic languages clinical practice is in our view the most effective way of comparing psychoanalytic models. ' | The Analytic Field A Clinical Concept
