"In this major contribution to the field,the editorshave taken the fundamental psychoanalytic premise of conflict as a central organizing construct for purposes of comparing and contrasting a broad array of psychoanalytic perspectives on personality development, psychopathology and therapeutic action. Their approach provides a kaleidoscopic perspective that illuminates both intriguing connections and subtle difference among diverse psychoanalytic approaches. Bringing together outstanding contributions from some of the leading figures in the field,the editorshave produced a superb volume that is essential reading for anyone interested in the future of psychoanalysis." - Jeremy D. Safran, Ph.D., Chair & Professor of Psychology, The New School for Social Research
"Psychoanalytic approaches differ in the way they deal with conflict-- with some believing that conflict can be resolved and others rejecting such a prospect. Indeed, no psychoanalytic approach fails to conceptualize conflict, and one can reasonably conclude that conflict is fundamental to a psychoanalytic way of thinking about human beings and about treatment. Yet, it is surprising to realize that conflict has not been the subject of more focus and reflection. Until now, Christian, Eagle and Wolitzky have done an extraordinary service to the field by collecting essays from different psychoanalytic orientations-- Contemporary Freudian, Object Relations, Self Psychology, Relational, Lacanian and Attachment-- 　written by some of the most original thinkers in the field. Treatment issues are central, but the book also covers neurobiological and developmental issues as well. For psychoanalysts who long for dialogue across psychoanalytic orientations, this book is exemplary, and deserves a wide audience." - Elliot Jurist, Professor of Psychology and Philosophy, the Graduate Center and the City College of New York, the City University of New York, and Editor of Psychoanalytic Psychology
"There is no question that the edited volume, Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Conflict, is both a noble and necessary endeavor. By articulating different perspectives around a single, central concept, it touches every essential controversy that has divided the different schools of psychoanalysis.Collected together, each of the eminent authors explains how conflict works, or how it is defined in their particular corner of the psychoanalytic universe. A terrific, scholarly beginning, clearly articulating theoretical stances so that the difference can be seen"-Lissa Weinstein, Ph.D., Psychoanalytic Psychology

Library JournalStein, Mark. How the States Got Their Shapes Too: The People Behind the Borderlines. Smithsonian. Jun. 2011. c.360p. illus. maps. index. ISBN 9781588343147. $24.95. HIST In an evocative sequel to his popular How the States Got Their Shapes, Stein presents a plentitude of varied and compelling biographical sketches associated with the setting of our national boundaries. The personalities, both the notable (e.g., Thomas Jefferson, Daniel Webster, Ethan Allen, Charles Mason, and Jeremiah Dixon) and the more obscure (Zebulon Butler, Clara Nichols, John Meares) and their agendas are central to the book. Readers are reminded that under President James K. Polk, U.S. boundaries grew exponentially to include Texas and all lands between the Rockies and the Pacific, producing a colossal headache for Congress and a dilemma largely solved by such outsize local personalities as Sam Houston and Brigham Young. The author also treats lands we attempted to annex but lost: Canada, the remainder of Mexico, Cuba, and the persistent issue of Puerto Rico. Readers will be inspired by Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton&rsquo;s dogged campaign to win statehood for the District of Columbia. VERDICT Stein&rsquo;s major and minor vignettes are well chosen from a wide array of primary and secondary sources. The book offers a perfect blend of optimism, tongue-in-cheek humor, and universal appeal. A winning effort.&mdash;John Carver Edwards, Univ. of Georgia Libs., ClevelandBooklistStein&rsquo;s How the States Got Their Shapes (2008) described why the American states look the way they do&mdash;how their borders landed where they did. This equally informative follow-up puts the spotlight on the people responsible for shaping those borders. People like Roger Williams, the Puritan minister who was expelled from the Massachusetts Bay Colony for advocating against the Church of England and established the township of Providence at the tip of the bay, and Anne Hutchinson, also banished, who secured the rights to a small island called Aquidneck by the Indians and Rhode Island by the British. Or&mdash;and this is a curious one&mdash;Robert Jenkins, the sea captain whose severed ear played a key role in establishing the boundary between Florida and Georgia. Stein, a playwright and screenwriter, writes history the way it should be written, as an entertaining story and not merely a tedious list of names, dates, and places. This is a very interesting follow-up to the earlier book, but it works equally well as a stand-alone.&mdash; David PittKirkus ReviewsA fun sequel offers more recondite tidbits of American history.With 50 states, there are plenty of details about border controversies for this mildly titillating follow-up to screenwriter Stein&rsquo;s&#160;How the States Got Their Shapes (2008), which in turn inspired the History Channel&rsquo;s eponymous documentary. The personalities behind the disputes take center stage: Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, who were actually a pair of highly accomplished English surveyors of the Royal Society possibly hired by Benjamin Franklin to establish impartially the disputed 300-mile Pennsylvania-Maryland-Delaware boundary. &ldquo;Asking Mason and Dixon to survey a boundary in America,&rdquo; writes the author, &ldquo;was&hellip; akin to asking Mozart to play at a prom.&rdquo; Thanks to Ethan Allen (&ldquo;not a furniture maker&rdquo;) and his motley posse of Green Mountain Boys, the homesteads making up the future Vermont were saved from rapacious New Yorkers. It is largely due to the zeal (or wealth) of John Hardeman Walker who &ldquo;put the boot heel on Missouri&rdquo; in order to keep his land from sinking into Arkansas. Under the presidency of James K. Polk, America&rsquo;s borders increased greatly, incorporating Texas, the Oregon Territory and everything in between the Rockies and the Pacific, creating a massive befuddlement for lawmakers; bright lights such as Sam Houston, Brigham Young and John Sutter would all wield profound influence on the shape of the states affiliated with their names. Stein includes contributions by important women, including proto-feminist Clarina Nichols, who moved her family to Kansas for the purpose of creating an anti-slavery majority in 1854, and Representative Eleanor Holmes Norton, who attempted tirelessly to win statehood for the District of Columbia. Overall, the author provides plenty of good stuff for tournament quizzes and&#160;Jeopardy&#160;questions.Bright, readable and accessible for all ages.

&ldquo;Un recuento tan osado como importante. Es ambas cosas, una reconstrucci&oacute;n aguda de una muerte des&shy;garradora y un diagn&oacute;stico de un mal nacional&hellip; con La cacer&iacute;a, Ojito ha hecho, verdaderamente, un servicio incalculable. Extraordinario&rdquo;.  &mdash;Junot D&iacute;az, autor de La breve y maravillosa vida de &Oacute;scar Wao &#160; &ldquo;Mirta Ojito narra una historia formidable, y nos conecta con la gente real, que con mucha frecuencia se omite en los debates sobre inmigraci&oacute;n. Al hacerlo, Ojito sondea las profundidades de lo que significa ser americano, en una naci&oacute;n de inmigrantes, cuyas historias e identidad est&aacute;n profundamente unidas al proceso de llegada y asimilaci&oacute;n &mdash;y muchas veces de rechazo&mdash;. Este libro debe ser lectura obligatoria en cualquier comunidad enfrentada con el tema de la inmigraci&oacute;n, que muchas veces se percibe como algo abstracto y divisivo. Ojito nos ayuda a comprendernos a nosotros mismos como naci&oacute;n, donde el lema E plu&shy;ribus unum &mdash;&lsquo;De muchos, uno&rsquo;&mdash;celebra la unidad de nuestra diversidad, de la misma forma que ella lo hace en este libro.

Todo est&aacute; narrado con la autoridad de una periodista altamente respetada, que con su propia experiencia como inmigrante le presta a este libro la profundidad, el conocimiento y la agudeza que solamente alguien con su experiencia puede expresar de manera convincente &mdash;y con todo el derecho&mdash;&rdquo;. &#160;&mdash;Oscar Hijuelos, autor y ganador del premio Pulitzer por la novela Los reyes del mambo tocan canciones de amor &#160; &ldquo;Gracias a la ret&oacute;rica hiperb&oacute;lica sobre la inmigraci&oacute;n que es arrojada por todos los medios de comunicaci&oacute;n, se nos olvida que existen sue&ntilde;os en ambos lados de la divisi&oacute;n que ha atravesado la sociedad estadounidense y amenaza nuestra conciencia de nosotros mismos. La estimada periodista Mirta Ojito escribe sobre la inmi&shy;graci&oacute;n desde el punto de vista de los que lo han vivido a carne propia: el alcalde de Patchogue de descendientes italianos, un mesero colombiano que se hizo ciudadano estadounidense, jornaleros ecuatorianos indocumenta&shy;dos, un grupo de adolescentes sin nada que hacer y que bombeaban de adrenalina y padres desconsolados en dos continentes. Este es un libro importante.
