Thirty-Four Rebel Women Out to Save Our Planet

Girls Who Green the World

Psychoanalysis has had a very difficult time evolving from its roots in Nineteenth Century positivism into the multiple perspectives which comprise contemporary psychoanalytic thought. Jon Mills’ new book, Psychoanalysis and the Mind-Body Problem is a scholarly tour de force that brings psychoanalytic scholarship into the present. It is rare to find an anthology which can so clearly explicate contemporary, philosophical, ethical, theoretical, neuropsychological, cognitive, economic and psychedelic dimensions of the ongoing psychoanalytic conversation. Mills’ strategy of focusing on the body as central to contemporary psychoanalysis achieves this goal and highlights the difficulties that the separation of mind and body has created for psychoanalytic theoreticians and clinicians. As both an author and a practicing psychoanalyst I have found the ideas in this book extremely useful in understanding persistent theoretical and clinical problems. Because of my interests, I found the chapters on the unconscious, mentalization, and Lacanian theory very thought provoking. Other readers will find also find particular chapters which speak more directly to them. I highly recommend this very evocative book to psychoanalysts, psychologists, mental health practitioners and scholars who will find this to be an extremely valuable addition to their library.

In this intriguing collection, the authors address the interaction of mental and bodily functions as these are experienced (or not experienced) consciously or outside of conscious awareness. The authors are experts in their wide-ranging areas – from the interior perspectives of soul to the scientific study of brain; and they address these dimensions with the complexity that the concepts demand. The editor and the authors have produced a volume to visit and revisit, for those who are interested in psychoanalysis, and more broadly in underlying theories of emotional, somatic and cognitive organization.
Wilma Bucci Ph.D, Author of Psychoanalysis and Cognitive Science: A Multiple Code Theory; Emotional Communication and Therapeutic Change; and Understanding Psychotherapy Through Multiple Code Theory 
Psychology can be said to have begun with the mind body problem first made salient by Rene Descartes. What is the mind? How is it different from the body? How shall we study it? All of the early pioneers of the field attempted to deal with these problems. William James seems to have left psychology and devoted himself to philosophy (at least partly) in an effort to address it. The functionalists tried to finesse the problem by making the distinction a methodological one. The behaviorists tried to solve it by declaring only the body to be real, thereby eliminating the mind. And then, it seems, everyone in the field ignored and or forgot about the problem. Psychoanalysis, which focuses on unconscious mental processes, which do not fit into Cartesian dualism, would appear to offer fruitful and creative ways to tackle this issue. But the problem seems to have never been directly addressed in psychoanalytic circles. Until now.
Jon Mills has edited a book that tackles this difficult issue head on. He has assembled a group of distinguished scholars who, using a psychoanalytic framework, address important and thorny philosophical issues related to the relationship between mind and body. The chapters represent a feast of psychoanalytic diversity. Dr. Mills approaches the problem from a Hegelian dialectical angle. Adrian Johnston takes what might be described as an anal/Marxist dialectical/Lacanian approach. Yadlin-Gadot takes us on a tour of Lacan’s views that pertain to this issue. Other chapters make use of too often neglected Jungian ideas (Goodwyn, Pacolet). Neuroscience is here as well, reviewed by Dr. Solms, an internationally renowned expert in the area. And Dr. Jurist reviews recent work on embodied cognition and mentalization that bears importantly on this topic.
Anyone wanting to be stimulated by what psychoanalysis can contribute to an age-old issue would do well to study the chapters in this text. This is not an easy read; many of the ideas are complex and original. But it is more than worth the effort.
Joel Weinberger, PhD, Professor of Psychology, Adelphi University

Robinson Crusoe

“It is my life’s calling to create value by connecting the most successful, brightest, and amazing leaders in this world. Before I learned about "The Smile Prescription," I never realized how much this hinged on my ability to make people smile. I am privileged to know Dr. Rich as a business associate and dear friend, and you must see what he is doing. Relationships will grow when they have a lot of smiles. Relationships without smiles will die. Create more smiles in your life and your relationships now with The Smile Prescription.” --- Larry Benet, The Connector, Forbes 25 Professional Networking Experts to Watch in 2015
“Dr. Rich masterfully uses the latest scientific research to reveal what makes business and personal relationships thrive or fail. His unique expertise as an accomplished facial surgeon brings a fresh perspective to the age-old question: How do you really create and measure happiness? "The Smile Prescription" explores the art of smiling, facial expression, and innovative communication strategies that will absolutely make a difference in your life and bottom line. Dr. Rich is the original "Smile Dr.” and I recommend "The Smile Prescription" to anyone who wants to grow professionally or personally.” --- Scott Hallman, Two–Time Inc. 500 Founder & CEO and World's Leading Business Coach
“Working as an actor and high performance coach in Hollywood, the foundation of what I teach is facial expression. Everyone should read "The Smile Prescription" because nothing is more effective in conveying trust, rapport, and emotional impact than how we use our smile. Dr. Rich’s approach with "The Smile Prescription" is a fantastic look at the simplest and purest form of how people connect with one another. When I read this powerful book, I started smiling and haven’t stopped since! Share your smile now. If the eyes are the window to the soul then the smile is the shining light.” --- Thom McFadden, Hollywood’s Coach to the Stars
“Dr. Rich will change your thinking about how and why we smile. His insight is brilliant and his thought experiments are elegant. He sees the topic only as a physician and scientist could. Who knew you can measure the intelligence of a smile? You will absolutely learn valuable strategies to use at home and in the office, and you need to share this with those you care about most. I have seen results with my team, my patients, and most importantly with my family. My sincere thanks to Dr. Rich for helping me to create more happiness in my life and in my business. There is no doubt in my mind that you will love this book!” --- Dr. Frank Bono, Cofounder of Gulfcoast Spine Institute and the BioSpine Institute

Throughout the pages of "The Smile Prescription" Dr. Rich makes it easy to see how smiles transform yourself and those around you. "The Smile Prescription" inspires readers to understand the messages and emotions generated through smiling, as well as how to incorporate this act into your daily routine. I'm confident that by embracing Dr. Rich’s insight and your own smile, you will see benefits in your personal and professional relationships immediately.” --- Jonathan Gorab, Director at PwC
“For physicians and health-care administrators, it is more important than ever that we use the power of smiling to care for our patients, communicate with our teams, and guide doctors through the challenges that lay ahead. Today’s leaders in public health, both nationally and internationally, all understand how smiling impacts our patients and our teams. Redesigning America’s health care system we invoke the proverb 'Physician, heal thyself,' and one of the best healing medicines we have is our smile.” --- David Massaro, MD, Deputy Chief Medical Officer, VA MidSouth Healthcare Network
“With clients and business contacts across the country and internationally, it is critical that I do everything I can to build strong relationships. These invaluable lessons in "The Smile Prescription" are based in scientific research, proven medical wisdom, and the latest strategies for high performance. Dr. Rich translates complex medical knowledge so that it is teachable and applicable to anyone at any level. These key concepts and communication skills foster team-building, customer service, and personal development. Now everyone has access to these simple and effective tools that absolutely work. Dr. Rich is masterfully introducing a new era in personal health and happiness with a smile movement that will certainly make an impact in our world. You can not afford to miss what "The Smile Prescription" is teaching!” --- Emile Allen, MD, Behavioral Modification Expert 
“I've known Dr. Rich his entire medical career, so I was not surprised to discover he was writing this book because he practices what he preaches. "The Smile Prescription" teaches you the positive outlook on life he has shared with me and many others over the years. In the financial services industry in which I work, our business is built on forming meaningful relationships with other people. What better way to engage with another human being than to be present with them and offer them a smile? If you too work in a client service industry, you need to read this book and challenge yourself with "The Smile Prescription"!” --- Andrew Grinstead, CEO of Leavell Investment Management
“In a world starved for positive emotions, it is remarkable to see how we can move ourselves by remembering to smile, whether it's when we are alone, or with others. "The Smile Prescription" is needed in today’s world, when the tides of sadness and despair can seem almost overwhelming. It is a powerful reminder that we can always do something. Perhaps none of us individually can or will change the world, but we can change OUR world, and that is what smiling will do for each of us.” --- Al Davis, Belmont MA
