Book Synopsis Trivialities About Me and Myself by : Yeng Pway Ngon
Download or read book Trivialities About Me and Myself written by Yeng Pway Ngon. This book was released on 2014. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected by Asiaweek as one of the 10 Best Chinese Novels of 2006 Winner, Singapore Literature Prize for Chinese 2008 Selected by The Business Times as one of the Best Books of 2014 The Chinese protagonist of Cultural Medallion recipient Yeng Pway Ngon's novel, Trivialities about Me and Myself, is a journalist turned entrepreneur who possesses a split personality. “Me” is a figure consumed by greed and sexual desire, two impulses that undermine his careers, his two marriages, and his relationship with his son. Throughout the novel he engages in a dialogue with his other identity, the moralistic “Myself”, whose principled stances try but usually fail to win over his other half. The protagonist’s lifetime, from childhood to his dying days in a rest home, parallels the modern history of Singapore itself and its evolution from a colonised city to a consumer-oriented nation, one in which an English-language educational system and commercial interests suppress indigenous languages and traditions. While the meticulously described action takes place in the city, the real setting is within the psyche of the narrator, whose two halves are engaged in an epic struggle for dominance.

Book Synopsis Confidant by : Constantine Sult
Download or read book Confidant written by Constantine Sult. This book was released on 2007-09. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Utilizing the framework of the thriller, Constantine Sult's second novel is the story of Timothy Spell, his fiancée Caina, neighbor Julien Servant and Servant's wife, Rachael: four individuals whose lives become immersed in an escalating series of deceptions, betrayals and murder. Distinct in the author's body of work for it's heavy usage of plot and it's investigation of distinct consequence, CONFIDANT, nonetheless, is marked by Sult's removed narrative attention to detail and use of structure as an expressive element of craft. Furthering his theme of the distance between personal identity and the connection to others -either as friend, lover, victimizer or redemptive presence- the novel is a claustrophobic mediation on trust and culpability.

Book Synopsis Ultimacy and Triviality in Psychotherapy by : Ernest Keen
Download or read book Ultimacy and Triviality in Psychotherapy written by Ernest Keen. This book was released on 2000-08-30. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Keen, a professor and practicing psychotherapist, addresses the essential distinction between the truly serious questions involved in human life and the superficial aspects so generally engaging people's concern-and often professional treatment-which he terms, triviality. He considers how contemporary practice of psychotherapy often fails to admit to the critical difference, fails to recognize it in practice, and subsequently treats patients for irrelevancies while neglecting core, essential issues. Keen addressed his concern about the prevalent practices among psychological/medical practitioners vis-a-vis the prescriptive drug control of mental problems in earlier publications. In this work, including a therapy case study, Keen's position-an important one warranting wide attention in the medical and helping professions-stresses that pharmacotherapy threatens our access, and openness to ultimate issues. For professionals and scholars in medicine, public health, clinical psychology, psychiatrists, and psychotherapists.
