Title: The Genesis of Desire

Subtitle: Studies in Violence, Mimesis, and Culture

Author: Jean-Michel Oughourlian

Narrator: Bob Goding

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 9 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-15-14

Publisher: University Press Audiobooks

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Psychology & The Mind

Publisher's Summary:

We seem to be abandoning the codes that told previous generations who they should love. But now that many of us are free to choose whoever we want, nothing is less certain. The proliferation of divorces and separations reveal a dynamic we would rather not see: Others sometimes reject us as passionately as we are attracted to them.

Our desire makes us sick. The throes of rivalry are at the heart of our attraction to one another. This is the central thesis of Jean-Michel Oughourlian's The Genesis of Desire, where the war of the sexes is finally given a scientific explanation. The discovery of mirror neurons corroborates his ideas, clarifying the phenomena of empathy and the mechanisms of violent reciprocity.

How can a couple be saved when they have declared war on one another? By helping them realize that desire originates not in the self, but in the other. There are strategies that can help, which Dr. Oughourlian has prescribed successfully to his patients. This work, alternating between case studies and more theoretical statements, convincingly defends the possibility that breakups need not be permanent.

Members Reviews:

Finally a book that explains mimetic theory!

Perhaps I haven't exposed myself to enough books on the subject to really substantiate that comment but the point is that this book does a good job of explaining mimesis and mimetic theory from an anthropological perspective, but from a practical I perspective in relationships I already have. I'm interested in the theological aspects of mimetic theory, in particular to affecting and effecting a theory of atonement. This book doesn't deliver directly on that subject but from a psychological, neurological and interprersonal (interdividual per the book) it succeeds.

Two technical issues I have with the book:

1) the narrator sounded more like he was just reading the script. He made it difficult to know when he was moving to another section or continuing in the current paragraph. It would have been better if he focused on crafting the shape of the written text in his delivery.

2) one could tell that this book was translated into English. Some phrases and words seemed wooden and some illustrations the author used were perhaps more sensible in French culture than American.

All-in-all I'd recommend this book to someone wanting to be informed about Rene Girard's Mimetic Theory, desire and rivalry.

Title: Best Strategies To Cure Emotional Eating

Subtitle: The Psychology Of Emotional Eating Explained

Author: Joy Marensky

Narrator: Ruth Elsbree

Format: Unabridged

Length: 53 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-28-14

Publisher: Speedy Publishing LLC

Ratings: 1 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Psychology & The Mind

Publisher's Summary:

If you've ever wondered what's behind the psychology of emotional eating, because it is psychological, this book will help you dive into that and discover what goes on in the mind to bring about that kind of behavior. Those who eat emotionally consider it as an outlet relieve their self from whatever pain or discomfort they're feeling in their life. Some of these emotions are deep rooted going all the way back to one's childhood.

Just a certain thought can trigger or cause an onset of overwhelming emotions strong enough to have a person sit there and wallow in their thoughts and before they know it, they start eating away. The information is nicely laid out because it mentions what each emotion is and then goes into detail on how that can lead to emotional eating.

After exploring those details, which is great information, the strategies for curing it are discussed. These strategies once implemented can really make a world of difference not only to the person directly who suffers from it, but also relationships that the person has with others.

Title: Identifying and Treating Mental and Emotional Disorders

Subtitle: Conditions of Neurosis and Psychosis

Author: James M. Lowrance

Narrator: Caroline Miller

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 15 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-20-14

Publisher: James M. Lowrance Publishing

Ratings: 2.5 of 5 out of 6 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Psychology & The Mind

Publisher's Summary:

This audiobook is also a section in The Everything Anxiety Disorders Book and is being made available in this seperate title, for those who wish to learn specifically about the distinguishing characteristics of mental and emotional disorders.

In the chapters of this audiobook, I present information regarding common emotional conditions of "neurosis" and the less-common conditions of mental illness referred to as "psychosis". It is my intention to help define the differences between these two types of emotional and mental disorders but to also present the differences between common conditions of neurosis that are in the anxiety and depression categories.

Subjects covered include descriptions of major depression, bipolar depression, schizophrenia, and different types of major anxiety disorders. Signs, symptoms, and diagnoses are discussed, as well as the treatments that are administered for these different types of disorders (i.e. pharmaceutical, psychiatric, and natural therapies).

Members Reviews:

Author has no training in psychology. At all.

What disappointed you about Identifying and Treating Mental and Emotional Disorders?

James Lowrance has no academic training of any kind in psychology. Not even a Bachelor's degree. He wants to share his with you his personal health journey and his accumulated wisdom from years of Internet bulletin board posts. He's a Bible School graduate who evidently feels entitled to employ the same democratic approach to psychology and medicine. Don't waste your time.

Not as advertised!!!!

If this audiobook was entitled depression/ anxiety disorders and thyroid disorders I would have known what I was buying. There is absolutely no discussion that would help a consumer or clinician differentiate between neurosis and psychosis. If I wanted to know how thyroid gland disorders are sometimes misdiagnosed as as psychosomatic illness, I would have gotten my moneys worth. Terrible book.

not for professionals

this is a very basic account of some mental illnesses and skips over some possible treatments. I wouldn't recommend

for any professions.

Title: How to Be Your Own Psychiatrist AudioLearn

Subtitle: Do-It-Yourself Psychological Therapies to Enhance Your Well-Being!

Author: Chris Right

Narrator: Bill Ouellette

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 31 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-16-14

Publisher: AudioLearn

Genres: Science & Technology, Psychology & The Mind

Publisher's Summary:

Attention: All people who want to enhance their personality and well-being but cannot afford psychiatric therapy!

"Why pay expensive fees to your psychiatrist when you can treat your personality and behavioral problems using easy-to-apply, do-it-yourself psychological therapies?"

Psychiatrists charge per hour, per session. Consulting with them certainly costs a lot of money. If you can train yourself to become your own psychiatrist, would you let up that chance? You might have consulted a psychiatrist for certain reasons. Some people have major personality problems like anxiety, depression, and extreme shyness that they would like to get rid of. Some want to get rid of a personal problem that's been bugging them. And others would like to enhance their personality, change their behavior, and live a better life.

So, how is your therapy session going with your psychiatrist? If you have been to one, you surely must have experienced that comforting feeling of being able to talk to someone who understands you, what you are going through, and how things are affecting you. Going out into the world after a good psychiatric session can definitely make you a stronger and better individual. Wonderful, isn't it?

Well, what if you're given a chance to learn how to be your very own psychiatrist? Yes, you certainly can become your own psychiatrist. All you need is to be equipped with the right knowledge about it. Treating yourself might even be better than going to your psychiatrist (whom you pay a lot per hour). Why? Because you know yourself better. And as such, you are better off analyzing your own actions, thoughts, and emotions. And there's nobody more clued-up to the things you can or cannot do but your own self!

Learn powerful psychological therapies the fastest, easiest, and simplest way possible! This audiobook contains simple methods of understanding psychological therapies. Its techniques are very easy to read and digest, unlike complex, boring information you'll find in those thick psychiatric books.

Title: Staying Strong Saying No

Subtitle: How to Say No Assertively and Protect Your Personal Boundaries

Author: Anne Marshall

Narrator: Anne Marshall

Format: Original Recording

Length: 29 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-08-13

Publisher: Anne Marshall

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 10 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Psychology & The Mind

Publisher's Summary:

The ability to stand firmly and strongly in your personal space so that you can say no from a place of inner strength is a skill that many people struggle with. Of course there are many times when we are duty bound to say yes, but if you find yourself frequently feeling resentful, or drained when you cannot say no to someone, then you may well have created the habit of being a people pleaser.

What lies at the root of this more often than not is the fear that by saying no we will be rejected and thought of as selfish. For most people this is a belief that has been deeply embedded since childhood when we learnt that to be selfish was to be bad and to be bad was to be unloved. One of the consequences of this in our adult lives is that we can run the unconscious belief that it is not possible to be loved and say no at the same time.

Learning to stand strongly and firmly in your own personal power is about so much more than just finding a polite and assertive way to decline a request. It is about speaking your truth out loud, without fear, or guilt and without anxiety that you might rock the boat, be rejected, or disturb the peace. In this audio you will discover how you can begin to release any unhelpful beliefs that may be limiting your natural authority and practice several exercises that you can use straight away to help you say no when you need to and stop giving your power away.

Nothing new here!

I found it hard to believe the high ratings this got. A small effort in research over the web would soon provide you with the same limited information. This was a Kindle purchase for me and the first time I have ever requested a refund! Don't bother. If depression is your issue, I'm sure you are already aware of the advice given here. It reads about like a pamphlet one might read while waiting in the Doctor's office.

Title: Joy, Inspiration, and Hope

Subtitle: Carolyn and Ernest Fay Series in Analytical Psychology

Author: Verena Kast

Narrator: Ruth Rosenberg

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 22 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-18-13

Publisher: University Press Audiobooks

Ratings: 1 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Psychology & The Mind

Publisher's Summary:

"Emotion is an expression of the self," Verena Kast writes in this ground-breaking study of the neglected emotions of joy, inspiration, and hope. If we decide we no longer want to hide behind empty shells, then we will have to allow certain emotions more room. We will have to let ourselves laugh louder, cry louder, and shout for joy.

Kast skillfully and engagingly makes the case that not only therapists and analysts but also individuals seeking growth in their own lives should give more attention to the elated emotions. Fear of excess (mania) and analytic preoccupation with grief, anxiety, and depression have together caused joy and hope to be shunned as a focus in individuation (the process toward wholeness).

Kast convincingly demonstrates the role of joy in relationship and existential involvement. Joy answers the human need for elated feeling and meaning in our lives, a need which is often filled in modern society by secularized parodies of religious ecstasy, such as addiction and compulsiveness. Kast explores the Dionysian myth as an archetypal image of the transforming effect of ecstasy on the personality. She considers Sisyphus, the absurd hero of French existentialism, as the symbol for rejection of false hope and joy, rejection which clears the way for true hope rooted in basic trust and the positive mother archetype. She suggests simple techniques for recapturing our joy through development of an autobiography of joy. Using this approach, we can discover what gives us joy personally, how we can best experience joy, and how and why we choke off our joy. By viewing joy, inspiration, and hope as core emotions in our being, we open ourselves to greater wholeness and fuller life.

Critic Reviews:

Verena Kast, a professor of psychology at the University of Zurich, has written an engaging and thought-provoking book on the neglected emotions of elation. This paperback is brimming over with insights into the emotions of joy, inspiration, and hope. (Spirituality & Health)

Verena Kast's book has delighted me... She has instilled new hope in me about what we can expect from our field-which after 100 years has so much left to learn about its own subject, the resilient human psyche. (John Beebe)

Dr. Kast has performed a valuable service... Even the most depressed person must have had some experiences of joy; and reliving these through writing about then makes it more likely that they will reappear. This is an unusual and valuable book. (Anthony Storr)

Members Reviews:

Employing Hope

"We risk our lives in order to feel alive" states Swiss Jungian psychotherapist, author and professor of psychology at the University of Zurich, Dr. Verena Kast. Proposing a new approach to healing, she suggests we not painfully track our devastation. Instead, we are to ask ourselves: How can I get my joy back? How do I retrieve this biogenetic inheritance, intrinsically mine?

This book reminds me of a story of a young woman who escaped a terrible trauma in the southern U.S. which hurt her so badly that when she staggered into a New York bus depot she collapsed and was taken to hospital. She could barely speak for weeks. Her psychologist employed a technique of which Dr. Kast would heartily approve: she asked her client to name one thing that made her feel happy...just one.
