Questo volume offre una completa e aggiornata revisione della teoria dei sistemi motivazionali e si propone come testo di riferimento nel campo dell'analisi delle dimensioni del Sé nel contesto delle relazioni interpersonali. Secondo l'approccio qui presentato la teoria dei sistemi motivazionali integra regolazione fisiologica, attaccamento, esplorazione-assertività, avversività, piacere sensuale e sessuale, affiliazione e accudimento. Attingendo a casi reali, gli autori intendono così dimostrare le interazioni reciproche dei diversi sistemi motivazionali all'interno dell'individuo, oltre che indicare nuove prospettive di utilizzo clinico.

One of the most influential artists of the twentieth century, Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) was a master of self-invention who carefully regulated the image he projected through self-portraiture and through his collaboration with those who portrayed him. During his long career, Duchamp recast accepted modes for assembling and describing identity, indelibly altering the terrain of portraiture. This groundbreaking book (which accompanies a major exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution's National Portrait Gallery) demonstrates the ways in which Duchamp willfully manipulated the techniques of portraiture both to secure his reputation as an iconoclast and to establish himself as a major figure in the art world. Although scholars have explored Duchamp's use of aliases, little attention has been paid to how this work played into, and against, existing portrait conventions. Nor has any study yet compared these explicitly self-constructed projects with the large body of portraits of Duchamp by others. Inventing Marcel Duchamp showcases approximately one hundred never-before-assembled portraits and self-portraits of Duchamp. The (broadly defined) self-portraits and self-representations include the famous autobiographical suitcase Boîte-en-Valise and Self-Portrait in Profile, a torn silhouette that became very influential for future generations of artists. The portraits by other artists include works by Duchamp's contemporaries Man Ray, Alfred Stieglitz, Francis Picabia, Beatrice Wood, and Florine Stettheimer as well as portraits by more recent generations of artists, including Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, Sturtevant, Yasumasa Morimura, David Hammons, and Douglas Gordon. Since the mid-twentieth century, as abstraction assumed a position of dominance in fine art, portraiture has been often derided as an art form; the images and essays in Inventing Marcel Duchamp counter this, and invite us to rethink the role of portraiture in modern and contemporary art.

The Internet has dramatically altered the landscape of crime and national security, creating new threats, such as identity theft, computer viruses, and cyberattacks. Moreover, because cybercrimes are often not limited to a single site or nation, crime scenes themselves have changed. Consequently, law enforcement must confront these new dangers and embrace novel methods of prevention, as well as produce new tools for digital surveillance—which can jeopardize privacy and civil liberties.

Cybercrime brings together leading experts in law, criminal justice, and security studies to describe crime prevention and security protection in the electronic age. Ranging from new government requirements that facilitate spying to new methods of digital proof, the book is essential to understand how criminal law—and even crime itself—have been transformed in our networked world.

A 100 anni dalla nascita della psicoanalisi, gli autori ridisegnano i principi di una nuova tecnica che, integrando i dati della psicologia del Sé con quelli dell'infant research, permetta una comprensione del Sé come centro di esperienza e di motivazione. Sulla base di un ricchissimo materiale clinico, essi dimostrano inoltre come la nuova tecnica porti a una riconcettualizzazione dello scambio clinico fra terapeuta e paziente e costruiscono un manuale di tecnica psicoanalitica di estrema ampiezza e vivacità.
