A leading psychoanalyst examines romantic passion, how it affects our psychological growth, and the differences in the way men and women experience romance
Ethel Spector Person Livres
Ethel Person était une psychiatre dont les recherches pionnières ont exploré les complexités de la sexualité humaine. Par des études immersives, y compris des visites dans des sex-shops et des clubs de danse drag, elle a cherché à comprendre les motivations des personnes transgenres et travesties. Son vaste travail clinique a également exploré le rôle important du fantasme sexuel dans la formation de la vie individuelle. Les écrits de Person sont apparus fréquemment dans des publications d'intérêt général, explorant son argument central selon lequel les gens construisent leur vie, consciemment ou inconsciemment, en s'efforçant d'incarner leurs fantasmes.





Feeling Strong
How Power Issues Affect Our Ability to Direct Our Own Lives

In Feeling Strong , noted psychoanalyst Ethel S. Person redefines the notion of power. The stigma of evil we associate with the subject of power comes from this one conception of power -- the drive for dominance over other people, or, in its most extreme form, an overriding and often ruthless lust for total command. But this is far too limited a definition. Pointing to a more fulfilling sense of self-empowerment than is being touted in pop-psychology manuals of our time, Feeling Strong shows us that power is really our ability to produce an effect, to make something we want to happen actually take place. Power is a desire and a drive, and it is central in our lives, dictating much of our behavior and consuming much of our interior lives. Drawing from her expertise honed in clinical practice, as well as from examples in literature and true-life vignettes, Person shows how you can achieve authentic power to find something that matters; to feel inner certainty; to find a personality of your own and effectively plot your life story.
