Book Synopsis Sex, Mind, and Emotion by : Winifred Bolton

Download or read book Sex, Mind, and Emotion written by Winifred Bolton. This book was released on 2018-04-24. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sex, Mind, and Emotion is a collection of predominantly clinical papers, exploring innovative work in the field. The central tenet of the book is that sexual behaviour cannot be divorced from the emotional context in which it occurs or the meaning of that behaviour to the individual and therefore no chapter is about sex without also addressing mind and emotion. The book uses a fusion of psychoanalytic, systemic and cognitive theories in conjunction with public service practice. It deals with important and relevant topics such as the treatment of sex offenders; the compulsive use of internet pornography; the psychosexual development of adolescents growing up with HIV; the psychodynamics of unsafe sex; refugees and sexuality; services for people with gender dysphoria; psychological treatment for survivors of rape and sexual assault; and loss of sexual interest.

Book excerpt: "Recent decades have seen a decline in the emphasis on sexuality in psychoanalytic theory, whilst clinical psychology has become more involved in sexual health issues. Sexuality remains at the core of human experience and where there are psychological and psychotherapeutic treatments, there will be sexual issues to be addressed. Sex, Mind, and Emotion is a collection of predominantly clinical papers, exploring innovative work in the field. The central tenet of the book is that sexual behaviour cannot be divorced from the emotional context in which it occurs or the meaning of that behaviour to the individual and therefore no chapter is about sex without also addressing mind and emotion.The book uses a fusion of psychoanalytic, systemic and cognitive theories in conjunction with public service practice. It deals with important and relevant topics such as the treatment of sex offenders; the compulsive use of internet pornography; the psychosexual development of adolescents growing up with HIV; the psychodynamics of unsafe sex; refugees and sexuality; services for people with gender dysphoria; psychological treatment for survivors of rape and sexual assault; and loss of sexual interest."--Provided by publisher.

Book Synopsis Feeling & Knowing by : Antonio Damasio

Download or read book Feeling & Knowing written by Antonio Damasio. This book was released on 2021-10-26. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From one of the world’s leading neuroscientists: a succinct, illuminating, wholly engaging investigation of how biology, neuroscience, psychology, and artificial intelligence have given us the tools to unlock the mysteries of human consciousness “One thrilling insight after another ... Damasio has succeeded brilliantly in narrowing the gap between body and mind.” —The New York Times Book Review In recent decades, many philosophers and cognitive scientists have declared the problem of consciousness unsolvable, but Antonio Damasio is convinced that recent findings across multiple scientific disciplines have given us a way to understand consciousness and its significance for human life. In the forty-eight brief chapters of Feeling & Knowing, and in writing that remains faithful to our intuitive sense of what feeling and experiencing are about, Damasio helps us understand why being conscious is not the same as sensing, why nervous systems are essential for the development of feelings, and why feeling opens the way to consciousness writ large. He combines the latest discoveries in various sciences with philosophy and discusses his original research, which has transformed our understanding of the brain and human behavior. Here is an indispensable guide to understanding how we experience the world within and around us and find our place in the universe.

This timely volume will become a key reference work for researchers and students in the growing field of neuroscience.

Download or read book The Seven Powerful Secrets of Emotional Sex written by A. Vishwanath. This book was released on 2005. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Seven Powerful Secrets of Emotional Sex will reveal to you that the greatest discoveries in sex are not found in the path of sex but in the emotional connectors which lead to sex. These emotional connectors of religion, culture, relationships, and attraction are what constitutes the darker side of sex, and the sexual energy within us is what perpetuates the inner beauty to be reflected outwards. We have always been speaking on behalf of sex; we have never allowed sex to speak on its own. The Seven Powerful Secrets of Emotional Sex is an attempt in this direction.
