'In questo libro, il quarto scritto insieme, il trio Lichtenberg, Lachmann e Fosshage ha ampliato e approfondito creativamente il loro già notevole contributo allo studio dell'esperienza personale, esplorando ciò che definiscono il 'sé che prende vita'. Vengono esaminati attentamente due particolari modi di fare esperienza, al fine di concettualizzare come un senso di sé vitalizzato possa svilupparsi sia durante l'infanzia sia lungo tutto il corso della vita. Il primo di questi modi ha a che fare con l'area di ricerca, per loro, più familiare: l'esperienza individuale di sé quando la persona partecipa a un compito motivazionale specifico. Però, anche in questo caso, seppur all'interno dell'ambito della teoria dei sistemi motivazionali, che questi autori ben conoscono, ci troviamo di fronte a qualcosa, che ci offrono, di veramente nuovo: l'elaborazione di dodici qualità o capacità che emergono dalla ricerca e dall'osservazione diretta durante il primo anno di vita e che potenzialmente servono come fonti di vitalizzazione per tutta la vita.' (Estelle Shane, Los Angeles)

In psychoanalysis, enlivenment is seen as residing in a sense of self, and this sense of self is drawn from and shaped by lived experience.Enlivening the Self: The First Year, Clinical Enrichment, and the Wandering Mind describes the vitalizing and enrichment of self-experience throughout the life cycle and shows how active experience draws on many fundamental functional capacities, and these capacities come together in support of systems of motivation; that is, organized dynamic grouping of affects, intentions and goals.

The book is divided into three essays:

• Infancy – Joseph D. Lichtenberg makes extensive reviews of observation and research on the first year of life and presented and based on these reviews, delineates twelve foundational qualities and capacities of the self as doing, initiating and responding, activating and taking in.

• Explortory therapy - James L. Fosshage looks where therapeutic change is entwined with development. There are many sources illustrated for enhancing the sense of self andFrank M. Lachmann pays pays particular attention to humor and to the role that the twelve qualities and capacities play in the therapeutic process.

• The wandering mind - Frank M. Lachmann covers the neuroscience and observation of "mind wandering" is related to the immediacy of the sense of self linking now with past and future.

Throughout the book the authors’ arguments are illustrated with rich clinical vignettes and suggestions for clinical practice. This title will be a must for psychoanalysts, including trainees in psychoanalysis, psychiatry residents and candidates at psychoanalytic institutes and also graduate students in clinical and counselling psychology programs.

'In the articles collected for this book, we hope to show that many of the beliefs of our supposedly advanced society are a long way from knowledge - particularly in the areas of modern science, ancient history, and today's conventional wisdom. If, in so doing, a few sacred paradigms are busted, we say, let the chips fall where they may!' - J. Douglas Kenyon, Editor & Publisher, Atlantis Rising

Reveals the parallels between the rise and fall of Atlantis, cultures in ancient Mesoamerica, and our modern civilization

• Links the demise of Atlantis with the birth of the Olmec civilization in Mexico, the beginning of the first Egyptian dynasty, and the start of the Mayan Calendar

• Reveals the Atlantean and Mayan prophecy of an eternal cycle of global creation, destruction, and renewal and how we are headed into a destructive phase

• Shows how ancient prophecies correlate precisely with the latest climatology studies, the rising incidence of solar flares, and papers from Pentagon and NASA analysts

With the passing of the Mayan Calendar’s end date we can now focus on the true significance of what the Maya and their predecessors were trying to convey to future civilizations. Frank Joseph reveals how the Mayan prophecy, symbolized by their calendar, was created through the combined genius of Atlantis and Lemuria and predicts an eternal cycle of global creation, destruction, and renewal. He shows how this cycle correlates precisely with scientific studies on glacial ice cores and predictions from the Hopi, the Incas, and the Scandinavian Norse as well as the visions of Edgar Cayce. He links the demise of Atlantis with the birth of the Olmec civilization in Mexico (the progenitors of the Maya), the beginning of the first Egyptian dynasty, and the start of the Mayan Calendar.

Drawing on the latest climatology studies and papers from Pentagon and NASA analysts, he reveals that we are on the brink of a destructive phase in the global cycle of change as predicted by the Atlanteans and the Maya. The world’s current political, economic, and cultural deterioration is paralleled by unprecedented storms and record temperatures, massive solar flares, tectonic disturbances, and fissuring sea floors that could release dangerous reservoirs of methane gas into the environment--all of which signals we are headed into another ice age.

Despite the Atlanteans’ greater understanding of the cyclical nature of catastrophes and of the human role in them, Joseph reveals the mistakes they made that played a crucial role in their civilization’s destruction. By recognizing the self-destructive patterns of Atlantis in our own civilization, we can learn from their mistakes to reestablish civilization’s cosmic balance before time runs out.

Ludwig Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus is among the most ambitious and influential philosophical works of the early twentieth century, and in recent years it has again occupied a central position in discussions of Wittgenstein's philosophy. Written in an austere and meticulous style, the Tractatus addresses questions in the philosophy of language, logic, and metaphysics, and, according to its author, provides a solution to all the problems of philosophy. This Broadview Edition contains the original English translation by C.K. Ogden and Frank P. Ramsey, annotated and revised by the editor for improved accuracy and clarity. Appendices include important material by Gottlob Frege and Bertrand Russell, as well as excerpts from Wittgenstein's other writings.
