Just Listening |
|
Steven Gans and Leon Redler |
|
The format of this book is very simple. It is an edited record of conversations I enjoyed with Steve Gans and Leon Redler, two psychotherapists most well-know for their work with R.D. Laing in the sixties, seventies and eighties, and their continuing allegiance to many of the ideas and practices he developed. But they are not mere Laingians. |

Levinas wrote Totality and Infinity -- a book where he introduces the idea of the face-to-face, and the concept of Ethics as first philosophy. Derrida responded to this work, in an essay titled Violence and Metaphysics. Based on this critiuque and other influences, Levinas wanted to revise his thinking. This profound book reveals the results of that revision of his thinking. |

The Book of the It |
|
George Groddeck |
|
This book appeared before Freud developed his theories of psychoanalysis. It is said that Freud got the idea of the "id" from Groddeck's book. "The Book of the It" could have been called "The Book of the Id". Groddeck is a fascinating writer,, He writes of medical cases he's encountered, where the problems stem from unanswered and uncoscious forces, emanating from "das es" (the It). |
