This Pilates reformer stretching book/class is for anyone (not just men!) who are stiff in all the wrong places! There is one stretch for each of the major muscles groups of the body. Each stretch has been deliberately selected for “any body” who can’t touch their toes, who sit at their desk all day, who has any kind of stress, back or neck pain, or who wakes up in the morning feeling less like a well-oiled machine and more like the Tin-man (or Tin-person).Trialed over a 15-year period with thousands of students in his “Stiffies” Pilates classes, Anthony Lett selected this beginners class for its safety and simplicity. There is a deliberate lack of complexity so that you can easily feel what ought to be felt. This feature, and the Pilates reformer itself will mean there is no more guessing ‘Am I doing it right?”The simple step by step cues and incredible anatomical images add another dimension to the material, allowing teachers and students to see inside every exercise. You can follow along for 60 to 90 minutes, or choose the series that is just right for your body.This version contains bonus QR code and video!

On Private Madness (Classics of Psycoanalysis)

Throughout the year of 1995, a series of debates took place under the auspices of the Higher Education Network for Research and Information in Psychoanalysis. Leading Kleinian and Lacanian psychoanalysts were brought together to debate key topics of psychanalytic theory. Subsequently, they were asked to submit their papers in written form and this book was compiled. The following areas were discussed: "phantasy", by Darien Leader and Robert M. Young; "child analysis" by Bice Benvenuto and Margaret Rustin; "transference and countertransference" by Robert Hinshelwood and Vincetn Palomera; "technique and interpretation" by Catalina Bronstein and Bernard Burgoyne; "sexuality" by Jane Temperley and Dany Nobus; "the unconscious" by Robin Anderson and Filip Geerardyn; The book ends with interviews with Donald Meltzer and Eric Laurent, each significant figures in the fields of Kleinian and Lacanian psychoanalysis respectively. Mary Sullivan provides an introduction setting out the similarities

Trauma, Repetition, and Affect Regulation: The Work of Paul Russell

Russell, Paul

Noted Belgian psychoanalyst Paul Verhaeghe shows us what it is about sex that both keeps us moving and inhibits us at the same time. The first essay, “The Impossible Couple”, is both a humorous and razor-sharp analysis of the contemporary relationship between man and woman. In the second essay, “Fleeing Fathers”, the author demonstrates that today the Freudian Oedipus complex has disappeared, with a resulting shattering of classic gender roles. Post-modern morals are strange compared to previous morality, because they convey an obligation to enjoy. Things become even stranger when one finds that the expected enjoyment fails to come and, instead of that, we are faced with boredom, anxiety, and anger. The reasons for this are discussed in the third essay, “The Drive”. Today, sexual abuse is omnipresent, with the male in the role of offender, women and children reduced to his victims. Paul Verhaeghe reconsiders the opposition between Eros and Thanatos as an opposition between two forms of sexual pleasure. The fact that this opposition is ever present in heterosexual love demonstrates that gender differentiation goes beyond temporal cultural forms.Accessibly written and provocatively argued, Love in a Time of Loneliness is a polemic whose very informality belies its serious intent. In these three fascinating essays, Professor Verhaeghe leaves the ordinary paths of thinking and sets out to discover what drives us in sex and love.
