Hidden beneath the rolling landscapes of modern-day Turkey lies an architectural marvel that defies belief. Discovered completely by accident when a man knocked down a basement wall in 1963, Derinkuyu is a massive, multi-level underground city capable of sheltering up to 20,000 people, along with their livestock and food stores. Featuring sophisticated ventilation shafts, deep wells, churches, and heavy rolling stone doors, it is a testament to the desperate ingenuity of ancient peoples. B...

Tunisian cinema is often described as the most daring of all Arab cinemas. For many, Tunisia appeared to be a model of equipoise between "East" and "West," and yet, during Zine El Abidine Ben Ali's presidency, from 1987 to 2011, the country became the most repressive state in the Maghreb. Against considerable odds, a generation of filmmakers emerged in the mid-1980s to make films that are allegories of resistance to the increasingly illiberal trends that were marking their society....

The first in-depth psychoanalytic study of the Old and New Testaments, Beyond Yahweh and Jesus centers on God's role in enabling humans to cope with death and the anxieties it evokes. Yahweh is seen as tending to increase rather than diminish these death anxieties, while Christ offers near-perfect solutions to each type. Why, then, asks Dr. Langs, has Christ failed to bring peace to the world? Langs' answer is focused on what is, he argues, Western religion's lack of a deep unders...

Feelings of love between patients and their therapists have been an endless source of confusion for those involved. An essential reading for all counselling and psychotherapy students and practitioners, this text offers fresh perspectives and advice on how best to deal with expressions of love and sexual desires in the course of therapy.

Robert Langs has long been one of the most individual and controversial psychoanalytic theorists. In this book, he concentrates on one of the most prominent areas of his thought: his insistence upon adherence to strict rules for boundaries (or "frames") in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis.Starting from the statement that "Throughout the history of the universe, frames, contexts, rules, and boundaries have been vital aspects of the development and very existence of both physical structures ...

This book draws upon analytically oriented settings for almost all our clinical observations. It provides an excellent introduction to the theory and technique of communicative psychoanalysis and links it with the growing field of evolutionary psychoanalysis.

Robert Langs argues that death anxiety is neglected - in part, because of treatment failures due to countertransference interferences during treatment. He then discusses the technical issues connected with this, whilst introducing the controversial concept that mental activities are derived from immune system activities.

This clinical workbook stresses the details of sound clinical practice, invites the reader to engage in exercises related to these practices as he or she goes through the volume, and offers practice in techniques that are essential to sound psychotherapy.

This book presents some uncommon lines of clinical observation and thought that hopefully will shed new light on the work and thinking of the full range of helping professionals. It provides the insights and techniques that characterize the empowered form of psychotherapy.
