Why do people migrate from one country to another? What is the difference between an immigrant and an exile? What determines the psychological outcome of immigration? Can one ever mourn the loss of one's country? What are the defensive functions of nostalgia? Are there specific guidelines for psychotherapy and psychoanalysis for immigrant patients? How can the therapist disentangle the patient's cultural rationalizations from underlying intrapsychic conflicts? In this unique book, psychoanalyst and poet Salman Akhtar provides answers to such questions. He notes that migration from one country to another has lasting effects on an individual's identity. Such identity change involves the dimensions of drives and affects, psychic space, temporality, and social affiliation. Dr. Akhtar addresses the immigrant's idealization and devaluation, closeness and distance, hope and nostalgia, transitional area of the mind, superego change, and linguistic transformation. With poignant clinical vignettes, he illustrates the implications of these ideas for the therapeutic process where the therapist, the patient, or both, are immigrants. Immigration and Identity, replete with poetry and personal letters from immigrant colleagues from many nations, conveys its message with irony, wit, laughter, pain, sadness, empathy, and, above all, clinical and human wisdom..

This is the first fully documented study for many years of one of Scotland's most emotive subjects. It traces the origins of the Clearances from the eighteenth century to their culmination in the crofting legislation of the 1880s, showing how the process of clearance was part of a wider European movement of rural depopulation. Eric Richards describes the appalling conditions and treatment suffered by the Highland people, yet at the same time illustrates how difficult the choices were that faced even the most benevolent landlords in the face of economic change..

Robin Wright has reported from over 120 countries for many leading news organizations, but her perceptive coverage of Iran has garnered her the most respect and praise among her colleagues. In The Last Great Revolution, Wright meticulously describes the ongoing transformation of society, politics and religion that ranges from the empowerment of women to the blossoming of a movie industry and an independent press. She demonstrates why Iran's Islamic revolution equals the French and Russian revolutions in new ideas and impact, while standing alone as "the last great revolution" of the modern era.

Recently, neuroscientists discovered an innate mechanism in a part of the brain called the amygdala that actually dissolves emotional trauma - if you let it. The actual breakup of old emotional memories can be clearly seen with a sophisticated brain imaging technique called functional Magnetic Resource Imaging (fMRI). So, why isn't this process - the process of homeostasis in which all things tend to return to a state of health and well being - why isn't it working for you and other Americans, 48% of whom will experience a major emotional disorder at some time in their lives? Why, as only 5% of the world's population do we consume 50% of its cocaine? Why, despite 40 million prescriptions for psychotropic medications is the suicide rate not declining?

It is related to some of the basic beliefs underpinning industrial societies, beliefs that begain 500 years ago with Sir Isaac Newton, but have been proven incorrect by discoveries in quantum physics in the last 30 years. Primary among these beliefs is the idea that we are supposed to be in control and that if we think long enough, hard enough and rationally enough, we can solve our problems.

From Turmoil to Tranquility describes why these beliefs are in error, why thinking about your issues will not cure emotional distress any more than studying a specific germ will cure your cold. It explains why most of our treatments for emotional disorders don't work, why psychotropic medication is more often than not counterproductive, how our emotions try to heal themselves and how we inadvertently prevent them from doing so.

From Turmoil to Tranquility also explains how our life crises are related to emotional distress and provides detailed step-by-step procedures on how to stop trying to control our emotions and let mother nature do the job she was meant to do..

Drawing on his years of experience as a Catholic writer, Philip Trower offers a long view of how the Catholic Church arrived in its present modern crisis. Whereas many analyses take the Second Vatican Council as their starting point, Trower turns his gaze back towards the previous centuries, searching out the roots of modern conflicts over authority within the Church, the nature of Scripture, the relationship with the secular world, and more.

His central thesis is that the positive movement for reform, and the negative movements of rebellion against the Church’s authority, grew up intertwined in the years preceding Vatican II, and that it was only in the period following the Council that the division between the two became clearer. His analysis introduces a host of persons and movements whose legacies endure.

Philip Trower’s accessible style of writing and his attention to detail offer the reader a clear understanding of where the Church has come from in its recent past. Turmoil and Truth is essential reading for all who wish to understand the present and future direction of the Catholic Church..
