After Sappho - Selby Wynn Schwartz
It''s 1895. Amid laundry and bruises, Rina Pierangeli Faccio gives birth to the child of the man who raped her - and who she has also been forced to marry. Unbroken, she determines to change her name; and her life, alongside it. 1902. Romaine Brooks sails for Capri. She has barely enough money for the ferry, nothing for lunch; her paintbrushes are bald and clotted... But she is sure she can sell a painting - and is fervent in her belief that the island is detached from all fates she has previously suffered. In 1923, Virginia Woolf writes: I want to make life fuller - and fuller. Sarah Bernhardt - Colette - Eleanora Duse - Lina Poletti - Josephine Baker... these are just a few of the women sharing the pages of a novel as fierce as it is luminous. Lush and poetic; furious and funny; in After Sappho, Selby Wynn Schwartz has created a novel that celebrates the women and trailblazers of the past - their constant efforts to push against the boundaries of what it means, and can mean, to be a woman - that also offers hope for our present, and our futures.

Jak selhat jako terapeut - Bernard Schwartz, John V. Flowers
Kniha představuje 50 nejběžnějších, výzkumem podložených chyb, kterých se psychoterapeuti ve své praxi dopouštějí.Nespokojenost s terapeutem je častým důvodem pro předčasné ukončení terapie. Navíc většina terapeutů nemá představu, proč jejich klienti odešli. Dobrou zprávou ale je, že dnes již existuje řada prozkoumaných strategií, které míru předčasného ukončení terapie snižují. Mezi nejčastější chyby patří: neznat vlastní limity, ignorovat vědu, poškozovat terapeutický vztah, nepečovat o hranice, dopouštět se špatného časování, nepředcházet vlastnímu vyhoření a mnoho dalších. Kromě jejich popisu autoři zároveň nabízejí k úvaze, jak se jich vyvarovat. Jde o užitečný text především pro psychoterapeuty v praxi a studenty v terapeutickém výcviku, knihu ale využijí také psychologové a pracovníci v pomáhajících profesí. Bernard Schwartz, Ph.D., je specialista na poli sportovní psychologie, autor řady knižních titulů. John V. Flowers, Ph.D., je profesor psychologie na Chapman University, klinický psycholog v soukromé praxi, klinický supervizor, autor mnoha knižních titulů.

If Not, Winter: The Complete Fragments Of Sappho - Anne Carson
From poet and classicist Anne Carson comes this translation of the work of Sappho, together with the original Greek. During her life on the island of Lesbos, Sappho is said to have composed nine books of lyrics. Only one poem has survived complete. In "If Not, Winter", Carson presents all the extant fragments of Sappho's verse, employing brackets and white space to denote missing text - allowing the reader to imagine the poems as they were written. Carson says of her method of translation: "I like to think that, the more I stand out of the way, the more Sappho shows through". Her translation illuminates Sappho's reflections on love and desire, her companions and rivals, the goddess Aphrodite and her own daughter, Kleis. The book brings us an ancient poet brought to life by an empathetic contemporary poet, and is complete with an introduction and notes.

The Musical Theater of Stephen Schwartz - Paul R. Laird
As the composer/lyricist for Godspell, Pippin, Wicked, and other musicals, Stephen Schwartz has enjoyed one of the most significant careers in American musical theater for more than four decades. Schwartz has also achieved success on the big screen, contributing to such films as Enchanted, The Prince of Egypt, and Pocahontas. For his work, he has received six Tony nominations, three Grammys, and three Academy Awards. The Musical Theater of Stephen Schwartz: From Godspell to Wicked and Beyond is a detailed examination of Schwartz’s various projects throughout his career. Musicologist Paul R. Laird discusses at length Schwartz’s major shows and also considers his other ventures, such as the music and lyrics for animated features from Disney and Dreamworks. The book focuses on two major aspects of Schwartz’s creations: the process of collaboration resulting in a project’s completion and a descriptive analysis of his music and lyrics. Laird also describes each show’s critical reception and its place in the larger history of musical theater. Based on extensive interviews with Schwartz and a number of his major collaborators, this book provides a rare look into the creation of the composer and lyricist’s shows and films.

The Complete Poems of Sappho
A vivid, contemporary translation of the greatest Greek love poet—with a wealth of materials for understanding her work—by a prize-winning poet and translator Sappho’s thrilling lyric verse has been unremittingly popular for more than 2,600 years—certainly a record for poetry of any kind—and love for her art only increases as time goes on. Though her extant work consists only of a collection of fragments and a handful of complete poems, her mystique endures to be discovered anew by each generation, and to inspire new efforts at bringing the spirit of her Greek words faithfully into English. In the past, translators have taken two basic approaches to Sappho: either very literally translating only the words in the fragments, or taking the liberty of reconstructing the missing parts. Willis Barnstone has taken a middle course, in which he remains faithful to the words of the fragments, only very judiciously filling in a word or phrase in cases where the meaning is obvious. This edition includes extensive notes and a special section of “Testimonia”: appreciations of Sappho in the words of ancient writers from Plato to Plutarch. Also included are a glossary of all the figures mentioned in the poems, and suggestions for ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The Paradox of Choice - Barry Schwartz
In the spirit of Alvin Toffler’s Future Shock, a social critique of our obsession with choice, and how it contributes to anxiety, dissatisfaction and regret. This paperback includes a new preface from the author.Whether we''re buying a pair of jeans, ordering a cup of coffee, selecting a long-distance carrier, applying to college, choosing a doctor, or setting up a 401(k), everyday decisions—both big and small—have become increasingly complex due to the overwhelming abundance of choice with which we are presented.As Americans, we assume that more choice means better options and greater satisfaction. But beware of excessive choice: choice overload can make you question the decisions you make before you even make them, it can set you up for unrealistically high expectations, and it can make you blame yourself for any and all failures. In the long run, this can lead to decision-making paralysis, anxiety, and perpetual stress. And, in a culture that tells us that there is no excuse for falling short of perfection when your options are limitless, too much choice can lead to clinical depression.In The Paradox of Choice, Barry Schwartz explains at what point choice—the hallmark of individual freedom and self-determination that we so cherish—becomes detrimental to ...

Stung with Love: Poems and Fragments of Sappho - Sappho
More or less 150 years after Homer''s Iliad, Sappho lived on the island of Lesbos, west off the coast of what is present Turkey. Little remains today of her writings, which are said to have filled nine papyrus rolls in the great library at Alexandria some 500 years after her death. The surviving texts consist of a lamentably small and fragmented body of lyric poetry - among them poems of invocation, desire, spite, celebration, resignation and remembrance - that nevertheless enables us to hear the living voice of the poet Plato called the tenth Muse. This is a new translation of her surviving poetry.

Your Soul's Plan - Robert Schwartz
Would you like to understand the deeper spiritual meaning of physical illness, parenting handicapped children, drug addiction, alcoholism, the death of a loved one, accidents, deafness, and blindness? Your Soul’s Plan (which was originally published under the title Courageous Souls: Do We Plan Our Life Challenges Before Birth?) explores the premise that we are all eternal souls who plan our lives, including our greatest challenges, before we are born for the purpose of spiritual growth. Through compelling profiles of people who knowingly planned the experiences mentioned above, Your Soul’s Plan shows that suffering is not purposeless, but rather imbued with deep meaning. Working with four gifted mediums, author Robert Schwartz reveals the significance of each person’s life plan and allows us a fascinating look into the “other side.”Each personal story focuses on a specific life challenge, organized by type for easy reference. Accessible both to those familiar with the metaphysical aspects of spirituality and to the general reader, the moving narratives that comprise Your Soul’s Plan help readers awaken to the reality that they are transcendent, eternal souls.

The Empty Path - Billy Wynne
“This is a truly extraordinary and transformative book. It distills the most profound and fundamental truths about happiness and healing to their essence.”— Dean Ornish, MDProviding an antidote to our never-ending quest for more, mindfulness teacher, successful entrepreneur, and Zen Buddhist Billy Wynne shows that embracing emptiness can declutter the mind and distill our experience of daily life to its essential beauty, clarity, and joy A clear and reasoned antidote to our current epoch of insatiable more-ness, The Empty Path is a how-to manual and spiritual guidebook for realizing and practicing emptiness as the source of inherent joy and satisfaction in our lives. By exploring this core, often-misunderstood Buddhist teaching, author Billy Wynne dispels the common misconception that peace and fulfillment will come via accumulation or achievement. He shows that instead of resolving our suffering, the quest for more only increases our problems by preventing us from engaging with the full breadth of our authentic life experience. The Empty Path leads readers on a modern-day hero’s journey, with Wynne as a guide. He uses real-life examples and accessible practices to help readers wake up to their inherent wholeness, navigate the barriers between self and true peace, and clear a path ...

S. Thomas, and American authors such as Charles Bukowski, Rita Dove, Anne Stevenson, and more. Including a foreword by Helen Vendler and essays by Daniel G. Williams and Kirsti Bohata, this volume celebrates M. Wynn Thomas’s immense contribution as a literary and intellectual historian, critic, translator, lecturer, institution builder, editor, broadcaster, and literary executor as he enters his eightieth year.

Choose Wisely - Barry Schwartz, Richard Schuldenfrei
A leading psychologist and philosopher challenge the shortcomings of rational choice theory—and propose a new framework for understanding decision-making  For many decision scientists, their starting point—drawn from economics—is a quantitative formula called rational choice theory, allowing people to calculate and choose the best options. The problem is that this framework assumes an overly simplistic picture of the world, in which different types of values can be quantified and compared, leading to the “most rational†choice. Behavioral economics acknowledges that irrationality is common but still accepts the underlying belief from economics of what a rational decision should look like.  In this book, Barry Schwartz and Richard Schuldenfrei offer a different way to think about the choices we make every day. Drawing from economics, psychology, and philosophy—and both inspired by and challenging Daniel Kahneman’s Thinking, Fast and Slow—they show how the focus on rationality, narrowly understood, fails to fully describe how we think about our decisions, much less help us make better ones. Notably, it overlooks the positive contribution that framing—how we determine what aspects are most important to us—contributes to good decisions. Schwartz and Schuldenfrei argue that our choices should be informed by our individual “constellation of virtues,†allowing ... Unknown localization key: "more"

A narrative meditation on joint nonviolence, opening a window to the questions of power, multiple narratives, and imagination that touch on struggles for justice everywhere.As a Palestinian youth, Sulaiman Khatib encountered the occupation in his village and attempted to fight back, stabbing an Israeli. Imprisoned at the age of 14, he began a process of political and spiritual transformation still unfolding today. In a book he asked Penina Eilberg-Schwartz, an American Jew, to write, and based on years of conversation between them, Khatib shares how his activism became deeply rooted in the belief that we must ground all work—from dialogue to direct action to healing—in recognition of the history and humanity of the other. He reveals how he became convinced that Palestinian freedom can flourish alongside Jewish connection to the land where he was born.In language that is poetic and unflinchingly honest, Eilberg-Schwartz and Khatib chronicle what led him to dedicate his life to joint nonviolence. In his journey, he encountered the deep injustice of torture, witnessed the power of hunger strikes, and studied Jewish history.

Protivné decko - Selma Blair
Selma Blair stvárnila počas svojej hereckej kariéry mnoho úloh, k najznámejším patria naivka vo Veľmi nebezpečných známostiach a konzervatívna ľadová kráľovná v Pravej blondínke. Preslávila sa však aj v modelingovej sfére ako múza Karla Lagerfelda. Napokon sa v posledných rokoch stala predstaviteľkou komunity ľudí trpiacich sklerózou multiplex a jej cieľom sa stalo šírenie osvety. Predtým však Selmu poznali najmä ako... protivné decko. Vo svojom zábavnom, no taktiež emočne zdrvujúcom životopise rozpráva strhujúci príbeh dospievania a pátrania po vlastnej životnej pravde. Prvé, čo sa o sebe Selma Blair dozvedela, bolo, že je protivné, protivné decko a celé roky ostávala verná svojej reputácii: hrýzla sestry, klamala, ako sedemročná sa opíjala z vína počas Pesachu a správala sa teatrálne, aby bola stredobodom pozornosti. Hoci sa Selma nakoniec stala hollywoodskou herečkou a modelkou, nikdy sa celkom nezbavila temných mračien, ktoré sa jej z času na čas zbierali nad hlavou, a neopúšťalo ju ani presvedčenie, že jej život v sebe ukrýva veľkú záhadu. Často mávala pocit, že jej horia ruky, akoby sústavne dostávala elektrické šoky, a tak potajomky pila, aby tomu všetkému unikla. Selma v tomto nádhernom, miestami zdrvujúcom životopise odhaľuje svoju závislosť od alkoholu, oddanosť jej geniálnej a komplikovanej matke a chvíle, keď koketovala ...

Tohle všechno jsem já - Richard Schwartz
Kniha je úvodem do tzv. systémů vnitřní rodiny (Internal Family Systems, IFS), který dnes patří mezi uznávané psychoterapeutické přístupy. IFS zpochybňuje představu jednotné identity a zdůrazňuje existenci různých části v jednom člověku (např. vnitřní dítě, vnitřní kritik, vnitřní sabotér). Tyto části jsou na sobě do jisté míry nezávislé a záleží na koherenci našeho já, jestli z nich dovede utvořit dostatečně vyvážený a zvládnutý celek. Jednou ze základních autorových myšlenek je, že tyto části nejsou samy o sobě nikdy patologické, i když mohou přispívat k jedincovu narušení. Mnoho z nich se vyvinulo v průběhu jedincova dětství na jeho obranu, a když je zbavíme jejich zátěže, mohou se opět stát tím, čím v zásadě jsou – našimi pomocníky. IFS je vhodným přístupem např. pro práci s traumaty, závislostmi, depresí či úzkostí. Kniha z pera samotného zakladatele tohoto směru uvádí základní postupy při práci s IFS, ukázky z terapeutických rozhovorů i řadu cvičení. Richard Schwartz je původně systemický rodinný terapeut, který v osmdesátých letech 20. století v reakci na příběhy svých klientů vytvořil model Internal Family Systems (IFS). Je autorem řady knih a článků a zakladatelem IFS institutu.

Manuál terapie systémů vnitřní rodiny - Frank Anderson, Martha Sweezy, Richard C. Schwartz
Richard C. Schwartz je tvůrcem směru zvaného terapie systémů vnitřní rodiny (IFS). Lidská psychika se podle něj vyznačuje existencí vnitřních částí, které se někdy projevují extrémními způsoby (zneužívání látek, disociace, sebepoškozování, perfekcionismus, posedlost vzhledem, vyhýbání se konfliktům a mnoho dalších). Tím, že se klient naučí těmto částem naslouchat, se jejich projevy stávají méně destruktivními a začíná se u nich projevovat důvod, proč původně vznikly – aby jedinci prospívaly. Předkládaný manuál poskytuje vodítka pro práci s klienty, kteří zažili trauma, narušení vazby a různé další psychické obtíže. Stručně a přehledně předkládá kazuistiky, techniky, přehledy, tipy, diagnostické postupy a cvičení terapeutům různých směrů. Metoda IFS je zakotvená v neurovědách, využívá přirozené vnitřní zdroje klienta a podporuje to, aby k sobě člověk zaujímal soucitný postoj. Kniha je určena pro psychoterapeuty či klienty, kteří se chtějí inspirovat metodou IFS.

The Absent Father Effect on Daughters - Susan E. Schwartz
Winner of the Internationl Association for Jungian Studies (IAJS) Book Award for Best Clinical Book 2021The Absent Father Effect on Daughters investigates the impact of absent – physically or emotionally – and inadequate fathers on the lives and psyches of their daughters through the perspective of Jungian analytical psychology. This book tells the stories of daughters who describe the insecurity of self, the splintering and disintegration of the personality, and the silencing of voice.Issues of fathers and daughters reach to the intra-psychic depths and archetypal roots, to issues of self and culture, both personal and collective. Susan E. Schwartz illustrates the maladies and disappointments of daughters who lack a father figure and incorporates clinical examples describing how daughters can break out of idealizations, betrayals, abandonments and losses to move towards repair and renewal. The book takes an interdisciplinary approach, expanding and elucidating Jungian concepts through dreams, personal stories, fairy tales and the poetry of Sylvia Plath, along with psychoanalytic theory, including Andre Green’s ‘dead father effect’ and Julia Kristeva’s theories on women and the body as abject.Examining daughters both personally and collectively affected by the lack of a father, The Absent Father Effect on Daughters is highly relevant for those ...

Mean Baby - Selma Blair
Selma Blair has played many archetypal roles: gullible ingenue in Cruel Intentions. Preppy ice queen in Legally Blonde. Fire-starter in Hellboy. Muse to Karl Lagerfeld. Face of Chanel. Cover model. Advocate for the multiple sclerosis community. But before all of that, Selma was known best for being one thing: a mean baby. In a memoir that is as wildly funny as it is emotionally shattering, Selma Blair tells the captivating story of growing up and finding her truth.The first story Selma Blair Beitner ever heard about herself is that she was a mean, mean baby. With her mouth pulled in a perpetual snarl and a head so furry it had to be rubbed to make way for her forehead, Selma spent years living up to her terrible reputation: biting her sisters, lying spontaneously, getting drunk from Passover wine at the age of seven, and behaving dramatically so that she would be the center of attention.Although Selma went on to become a celebrated Hollywood actress and model, she could never quite shake the periods of darkness that overtook her, the certainty that there was a great mystery at the heart of her life.

Ghosts of a Holy War - Yardena Schwartz
In 1929, in the sacred city of Hebron—then governed by the British Mandate of Palestine—there was no occupation, state of Israel, or settlers.Jews and Muslims lived peacefully near the burial place of Abraham, patriarch of the Jewish and Arab nations, until one Saturday morning when nearly 70 Jewish men, women, and children were slaughtered by their Arab neighbors. The Hebron massacre was a seminal event in the Arab-Israeli conflict, key to understanding its complexities. The echoes of 1929 in Hamas’s massacre of October 7, 2023, illustrate how little has changed—and how much of our perspective must change if peace is ever to come to this tortured land and its people, who are destined to share it.Noted journalist Yardena Schwartz draws on her extensive research and wide-ranging interviews with both sides to tell a timely, eye-opening story. She expertly weaves the war between Israel and Hamas into a historical framework, demonstrating how the conflict today cannot be understood without the context of ground zero of this century-old war, which began long before the occupation, the settlements, or the state of Israel ever existed.
