'The architectural profession and society must collaborate on repairing the covenant between us so that we may deliver the outcomes that matter so much to both. Flora Samuel’s excellent book throws light on the actual and potential contribution of architects to the prospect of social well-being and more to the point, identifies ways in which we must go about realizing this potential.'
Benjamin Derbyshire, President, Royal Institute of British Architects and Chair of HTA Design　
'Architects are needed more than ever to address the challenges in the built environment. In this timely book Flora Samuel presents valuable insights for the profession’s future development, which she argues depends on how it organises its knowledge. It is a must-read for architectural professionals in the21st century.'
Fredrik Nilsson, Professor of Architectural Theory, Chalmers University of Technology, and Head of Research in Practice, Älvstranden Utveckling AB
'I have been teaching and preaching about the problems architecture as a profession and architects as practitioners face for the lastfive years. If only I had had this book to assign all along! It lays out so clearly the issues behind the ironic but tragic fact that the public and the architectural profession hate what architecture has become. The fact that no one in this binary is happy with a profession that is seen as effete and socially indifferent requires an analysis that goes beyond handwringing and cross accusations. This book is it, as it systematically analyses both the history and structure of this dilemma.' 

Peggy Deamer, Professor of Architecture, Yale University and Architecture Lobby

Why Architects Matter

'Public sector reform needs to move on from the narrow agenda of New Public Management, and this includes treating the question of public service ‘ethics’ as something more substantial than rhetoric. The authors of this important book provide substantial ideas and material that will be of value to those involved in that task.'
Colin Crouch, Professor Emeritus, University of Warwick, UK
'This accessible text is firmly grounded in ethical theory and current public management practice. Well chosen case vignettes allow the reader to apply principles and consider their universality. The inclusion of ethical dimensions of the delivery of public services through networks also makes this text relevant to private and voluntary sector audiences. '

"Because of its rich clinical vignettes this book would be highly recommended for analysts at all levels of experience and would be an excellent teaching tool for those engaged in educating residents to the complexities of our field." - Francis Baudry, The International Journal of Psychoanalysis
"In my view Fred Busch is an authentically international psychoanalyst not only because of his wide and brilliant culture, but more specifically because of his capacity for dialogue and his special skill in understanding the other’s mentality and position: an attitude that creates new spaces, new encounters, new shared visions both in the clinical work and in the scientific interchange. His unique thinking in understanding the psychoanalytic method leads to new insights into our methods of analyzing, based on a thorough theoretical base. It is all on display in his current book, which I recommend most highly."- Stefano Bolognini, M.D., President, International Psychoanalytic Association
"In this stimulating new volume, Fred Busch secures his position as one of our foremost thinkers in contemporary ego psychology. He further elaborates on his life's work and makes surprising connections to thinkers as diverse as Betty Joseph and Andre Green. His central thesis involves the　therapeutic action of psychoanalysis, which Busch suggests involves helping the patient to know his mind and to transform action into reflection. In this regard he joins ranks with those who see psychoanalysis as our last bastion of "know thyself" in an era of quick fixes and superficial approaches that eschew a systematic look at how one's mind works. Both experienced analysts and candidates will find much of value in this work. I highly recommend it." - Glen O. Gabbard, MD, Author, Love and Hate in the Analytic Setting
"While American Psychoanalysts have had little impact on psychoanalysis in Latin America, when Fred Busch came to Argentina to speak to us his ideas about psychoanalytic treatment seemed new, yet familiar, and were greatly appreciated. In this richly textured, clearly written book, his perspective allows him to bring together many views that highlight certain paradigm shifts in psychoanalytic treatment, which lead to fresh insights into many technical issues. Analysts’ from different perspectives will benefit greatly from studying this text." - Virginia Ungar, M.D., Training and Supervising Analyst, Buenos Aires, Argentina

A psychoanalytic method and theory

Creating a Psychoanalytic Mind

Poetry and Criticism before Plato (Routledge Revivals)

"Winnicott and Lacan are arguably two of the most important psychoanalysts after Freud. Who would have thought that their methods and techniques could converge in clinical practice? I wondered how it could work. This book shows how it can be done and makes a strong case for the advantages of combining the contributions of these two psychoanalytic innovators. These essays, rich in clinical material, will intrigue all who are interested in the talking cure. This unique book will also be a valuable teaching tool.Between Winnicott and Lacanbrings fresh perspective forrethinking psychoanalytic theory and practice." - Patricia Gherovici, Ph.D., author, Please Select Your Gender: From the Invention of Hysteria to the Democratizing of Gender (Routledge, 2010)
"This volume breaks new ground in opening up a dialogue between the seemingly divergent ideas of psychoanalysts Donald Winnicott and Jacques Lacan. Essentially (but not entirely) a clinical book, the authors bring for discussion familiar concepts - transitional phenomena, the ego and the mirror stage, subjectivity, the true and false self, human nature, lack, among others - offering interpretations of their similarities and differences that challenge us anew in our understanding in the consulting room. Between Winnicott and Lacan stimulates us to question the relationships between different theoretical paradigms without collapsing them into a confusing eclecticism, and helps to refresh our approach to what is useful in the clinic." - Angela Joyce, Ph.D., co-editor, Reading Winnicott
"For Lacan, abstract theory and the function of the father are pivotal. For Winnicott, clinical practice and the presence of the mother are crucial. This difference is reflected in their most famous inventions: Lacan's objet a denotes an irretrievable lack, Winnicott's transitional object an attempt to instill separation. In the best of both worlds a marriage between these objects and their protagonists can be imagined - and this book is an excellent starting point. Clinicians from both sides discuss how Lacan and Winnicott have inspired them in their clinical practice, while at the same time producing surprising conceptual links. A new middle group is in the making, and thanks to the efforts of Lewis Kirshner, we can participate in its first steps." - Paul Verhaeghe, Ph.D., University of Ghent, Belgium
"In its sustained theoretical and clinical engagement with Donald Winnicott and Jacques Lacan, Kirshner's collection argues for their value in advancing an understanding of what makes psychoanalysis - and life itself - meaningful." - Lesley Caldwell, Ph.D., editor, the Winnicott Trust
"This is the first time I have read a book about psychoanalytic practice where Lacanian ideas have come to life in an accessible way...This book cannot be summed up easily- it is full of complex and sometimes contentious ideas and really deserves a wide readership. It creates a potent relationship between two different kinds of psychoanalysis and opens up possibilites of greater understanding of clinical situations and theory for anyone interested in psychic life." - Geraldine Shipton, University of Sheffield, UK

“This is an unusual and an important book. Its editors and contributors are all to be congratulated. … the volume offers advances in our theoretical and methodological understandings of the scope for regulation of labour markets. These advances are supported by compelling empirical evidence. The astute observations of the contributors have the capacity to shape debates regarding indeterminacy of regulation, but also offer scope for greater creativity, responsive to contemporary labour concerns in both the developed and developing worlds.” (Tonia Novitz, Industrial Law Journal, Vol. 45 (2), July, 2016)

'Studies of Internet communication have tended, for too long, to sideline the importance of the emotions. This book sets out to remedy this important oversight, and succeeds brilliantly. It offers us a rich new theoretical and conceptual vocabulary with which to grasp the affective dynamics of life online. The contributions tease-out from a wide range of empirical case studies the ways in which the emotive power of love, hate, seduction, passion, nostalgia and mourning reverberate through (and beyond) the realm of the Internet, with profound implications for our individual and collective lives. Scholarly, informative and provocative, Digital Cultures and the Politics of Emotion should be read by all those interested in technology and culture.' - Majid Yar, Professor of Sociology, University of Hull, UK  'Bringing together cutting-edge theory and specific case studies, this collection bridges the gap between the cultural studies of affect and digital culture, assembling a much needed, much waited for feminist, postcolonial and queer perspective on new media. Ground-breaking and unmissable.' - Tiziana Terranova, Professor in Sociology of Communication at the University of Naples, Italy

"Globe I was the Manhattan project linking culture and leadership. It focused mostly on quantitative analyses of data from 61 countries. This volume focuses on qualitative data from 25 of those countries. Based on focus group responses, in-depth ethnographic interviews, conceptions of outstanding leadership found in the media, participant observations and unobtrusive measurements from each of these countries, it provides rich data about conceptions of leadership that are universal (e.g., the leader is inspirational ), and some are culture specific (e.g., invests in the future). The culture specific are emphasized more or less in different countries and cultural regions (defined by location, language and religion). The volume will be extremely valuable to those who work or do business in one or more of the 25 countries discussed in the book" - Harry Triandis,Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Labor and Industrial Relations,University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana
"The Globe project has demonstrated a balance of generality and richness, as well as a laudable attempt to address cross-level issues. The call for multi-method, multi-level research has been around for decades, but genuine responses to this call are rare. The GLOBE project reminds us of the different limitations of different conceptual and methodological orientations, and of the needs to be integrative and pluralistic in our research enterprises. The GLOBE project will go down in the history of management research as a hallmark for diversity, inclusiveness, richness and multilateralism".– Kwok Leung, City University of Hong Kong
"Globe study is the most comprehensive study of leadership and culture of the last decades, based on data collected from approximately 17,300 managers from 950 companies in 62 countries...This volume gives access to this remarkable study spanning several decades and, as such, it forms a reference work that every business school or university library, and all leadership cross cultural researchers should have on their shelves."-International Journal of Cross Cultural Management, August 2008

“This edition is beautifully produced, with a pleasing layout, nice illustrations and tables and is a delight to read. The authors should be congratulated for their efforts and I am sure the book will appeal to a wide readership and not just those professionally connected with Röntgen’s legacy.” (Arpan K Banerjee, RAD Magazine, November, 2019)“This book will interest any readers interested in the history of medicine, physics, and twentieth‐century science. It is not intended for any specific audience and it can be read by anyone, as the writing is clear, simple, fluid, and pleasant. … The authors have made a careful search for relevant documentation and offer the results of their research in an extremely readable way.” (Alain Touwaide, Doody's Book Reviews, July 05, 2019)

'The 'new Ireland' so often made the subject of political commentary and economic reports still wants for engaged critical commentary. Irish Postmodernisms and Popular Culture theorises Celtic Tiger Ireland in all its cultural complexity. A fresh, lively and challenging collection.' - Claire Connolly, Cardiff University

'This remarkable collection of essays robustly displays the exciting diversity of contemporary Irish studies' engagement with global popular culture. Interrogating gender, genre, race, space, and migration, this volume brilliantly reassesses the Irish academy's ideological and theoretical commitments.' - Professor Cheryl Herr, Department of English, University of Iowa

Irish Postmodernisms and Popular Culture

"This book offers an unusual and very valuable perspective on the deeper layers of the unconscious mind. Michael Robbins’ wide-ranging and engaging approach offers many fascinating and thought-provoking ideas that cut across theoretical divisions, making his work of interest to all in the field of ‘depth psychology’. I have found the idea of ‘primary mental activity’ useful in my own clinical work, as well as with students and supervisees who were keen to learn more about it." - Warren Colman, Jungian Psychoanalyst, Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Analytical Psychology
"Michael Robbins has come up with a remarkable and innovative new concept, that of Primordial Mental Activity (PMA). His contribution is imaginative, creative, and fascinating, to say nothing of being useful in its application to psychoanalytic theory and practice as well as in its application to culture. In my opinion it is a most highly welcome conceptual addition to our thinking and clinical practice. I can tell how important his ideas are because I am putting them to use already. I highly recommend it." - James S. Grotstein, M.D., UCLA, California, USA
"The number of psychoanalysts who have worked to integrate psychoanalytic and anthropological thinking can probably be counted on the fingers of one hand – Robert Paul, Waud Kracke, Elizabeth Spillius, Rosine Perelberg come to mind. These people were trained in both disciplines but Robbins is not a social anthropologist, as far as this reviewer is aware, which makes his achievement all the more impressive. He has not merely drawn links between the two disciplines but has explored each discipline in a good deal of depth in order to propose a model of mind applicable to both and characterised by primordial mental activity (PMA), although the outcomes of PMA in different cultures can vary greatly [...] Understanding this nonfigurative domain, and our relationship to it, heralds a form of integrative thinking that unsettles some of the sharp, categorical distinctions characteristic of western thought and the reader is left with a new orientation towards core mental activities and the nature of our relationship to them, for which Robbins' deserves our gratitude. This book merits being read and reread." - Paul Williams, Psychosis: Psychological, Social and Integrative Approaches, Volume 4, Issue 1, February 2012
"The culmination of years of research, Robbins' book makes a compelling case for the existence of 'Primordal Mental Activity' (PMA) as a distinct form of mental functioning that is separate from and predates the development of rational thought in all persons." - John Merchant, Journal of Analytical Psychology, Volume 57, 2012

"In order to deepen our knowledge about psychoanalytic theory of treatment, it is of vital importance to have an increasing number of empirically-based studies on psychoanalytic process and outcome. Relevant scientific psychoanalytic research should also include the clinician and his clinical skills as a source of inspiration for renewing ideas, and for the integration of research results in clinical practice. As professor Wallerstein writes in his foreword, this book is ‘a capstone volume bringing together the thinking and findings of a long, closely shared professional lifetime devoted to research and clinical work’ and is ‘a major path in the development of theory-building and a science of treatment.’ The studies of Amalia X are probably the most intensive empirical studies of one patient ever conducted, and give a multidimensional picture of empirical ways to study psychoanalytic work and process."
- Imre Szecsödy, M.D., Ph.D., Associate Professor, Karolinska Institute 

"An outstanding integration of over a quarter-century of trailblazing research that used a wide-range of methods to evaluate single case reports in the investigation of the impact of unconscious processes on conscious behavior and experience. In an extensive presentation of their specimen case, Amalia X., the Ulm Psychoanalytic Process Research Study Group demonstrates how systematic analysis of detailed observations of a single case in psychoanalysis can provide invaluable understanding of the subtleties of psychological processes and of the dynamics of the treatment process. This volume will have major impact on research as well as on clinical theory and practice because it provides a variety of models for integrating the complexities of psychoanalytic observations so they can enrich and extend mainstream nomothetic psychotherapy research." 
- Sidney J. Blatt, Ph.D., author, Polarities of Experience: Relatedness and Self-definition in Personality Development, Psychopathology and the Therapeutic Process (APA, 2008) 
"This book aims to bridge the gap between psychoanalytic practice and systematic research. It easily achieves this but it does far more. The careful scrutiny of the psychoanalytic process through concurrent use of multiple methodologies has created a comprehensive reference text that clinicians can use to improve their understanding of the mechanisms of change, to learn about what is likely to make treatments more effective and to understand how relatively simple experimental strategies can clarify without oversimplifying even the most nuanced of clinical situations. This is a landmark volume, an integrative summary of the substantive achievements of psychoanalytic process research of the past decades." 
- Peter Fonagy, Ph.D., FBA, Freud Memorial Professor, University College, London
"This important work by Kaechele, Schachter and Thomae - informed by monumental scholarship, enriched by their expertise in clinical psychoanalysis and research and anchored in a specimen case - provides a convincing solution to a central problem of psychoanalysis: how can data from the clinical psychoanalysis of individuals be used to construct a scientifically reliable psychoanalytic theory? Their work illuminates the fundamental relation between enquiry and therapy in clinical psychoanalysis." 
- Charles Hanly, Ph.D., Emeritus Professor, University of Toronto
"In an era when cognitive behavioral therapy is king and empirically supported research is the currency on which its kingdom rests, this book is a valiant effort to develop methods to explore scientifically the depths of psychological process that psychoanalysts believe are compelling. All in all, this book reflects a lifetime of scholarly work, highly productive collaborations by some of the world's most brilliant psychoanalytic thinkers and researchers, and courageous self-revelation. The hard and disciplined work of the authors has produced a valuable text which can be used as a reference book or as a book one can read through for edification." 
- Michael Bond, MD, FRCPC, FAPA, SMBD-Jewish General Hospital, McGill University in The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, 197(3), 2009
"It is not only a tremendous academic achievement in the service of psychoanalysis itself. It is also vitally necessary in respect of the stressed position of our profession within the current societal situation. We need the approval of the environment in which we live and practice. This kind of scientific presentation…can help us to receive a better appreciation."
– Axel Triebel, International Forum of Psychoanalysis
"This milestone work demonstrates the potential of psychoanalytic treatment research for improving our understanding of unconscious processes and mechanisms of change…The use of multiple methodologies in single case research is a powerful exposition of how the richness of the clinical observations can be distilled into refined and empirically provable theoretical models…I hope this epoch-making book is already being included in the curriculum of psychoanalytic education at many institutes." – Andrzej Webart, International Journal of Psychoanalysis
