Troubled women

by Reuben Fine (1992)

About this book

Applying a traditional psychoanalytic approach to the development and counseling of women, Reuben Fine provides a comprehensive examination of emotional problems common to women. Drawing on over forty years of clinical experience as well as an extensive review of the psychotherapy literature, Fine describes the emotional conflicts women experience in key areas of their lives--including love, sex, communication, work, and creativity. Fine identifies the psychological and cultural factors that shape women's emotional difficulties--from unhappy childhood experiences and family disturbances to cultural taboos and stereotypes. He offers therapeutic guidelines for every stage of treatment and shows how they can be successfully applied in practice. Throughout the book Fine includes revealing case histories and rich examples that illustrate how to help troubled women; work through blocks to intimacy and form stable, loving relationships; learn to acknowledge and express important feelings; and build a positive self-image.

Unlearn

Humble the Poet

Life is hard, and the older we get, it only seems to get more complex. We can easily get overwhelmed trying to deal with everything all at once. We look everywhere for solutions to make the journey a bit more bearable; everywhere but within. Sometimes we gain more from letting go. Whether it's old habits, stale mindsets, regrets of the past, or simply the way we view our lives; in order to grow we have to shed the things that are holding us back. UnLearn is collection of writings to remind you of the wisdom you've already acquired, but may have lost under the weight and pressures of daily life.

Rush

Todd G. Buchholz

A former White House director of economic policy makes the outrageous argument that we don't really want to relax--we want to compete. We think we will be happy when we have some downtime--when we can finally go on vacation, disconnect, shut down. But in this provocative book, Todd Buchholz will convince you that what you really want is to chase your tail--even if you never catch it. Weaving in everything from neuroeconomics to evolutionary biology to Renaissance art to General Motors, Buchholz will convince you that the race to compete has not only made us taller and smarter, it's what we love and need.--From publisher description.
