Free Download The Mind Object: Precocity and Pathology of Self-Sufficiency By Edward G. Corrigan, Pearl-Ellen Gordon
1995 | 264 Pages | ISBN: 1568214804 | PDF | 12 MB
How to Help People Who Have Only Their Minds to Love Can a person relate to his or her own mind as an object, depend upon it to the exclusion of other objects, idealize it, fear it, hate it? Can a person live out a life striving to attain the elusive power of the mind’s perfection, yielding to its promise while sacrificing the body’s truth?Winnicott was the first to describe how very early in life an individual can, in response to environmental failure, turn away from the body and its needs and establish "mental functioning as a thing in itself." Winnicott’s elusive term, the mind-psyche, describes a subtle, yet fundamentally violent split in which the mind negates the role of the body, its feelings and functions, as the source of creative living. Later, Masud Khan elaborated on Winnicott’s notions. This exciting book extends Winnicott’s and Khan’s ideas to introduce the concept of the mind object, a term that signifies the central dissociation of the mind separated from the body, as well as underscores its function.When the mind takes on a life of its own, it becomes an object-separate, as it were, from the self. And because it is an object that originates as a substitute for maternal care, it becomes an object of intense attachment, turned to for security, solace, and gratification. Having achieved the status of an independent object, the mind also can turn on the self, attacking, demeaning, and persecuting the individual. Once this object relationship is established, it organizes the self, providing an aura of omnipotence. However, this precocious, schizoid solution is an illusion, vulnerable to breakdown and its associated anxieties.Making a unique contribution, The Mind Object explores the dangers of knowing too much-the lure of the intellect-for the patient as well as for the therapist. The authors illuminate the complex pathological consequences that result from precocious solutions.

Free Download Surgical Management of Aortic Pathology: Current Fundamentals for the Clinical Management of Aortic Disease, Volume 1 by Olaf H. Stanger

Free Download Stephen M. M. Factor, Maria A. Lamberti-Abadi, Jacobo Abadi, "Handbook of Pathology and Pathophysiology of Cardiovascular Disease"
English | 2002 | pages: 310 | ISBN: 147578368X, 0792375424 | PDF | 25,4 mb
Autopsy derives from the greek word autopsia, which means act of seeing with one’s own eyes. It remains the most objective and accurate method to understand human. disease. Unfortunately, the volume of autopsies in teaching hospitals has decreased dramatically over the past years. The crucial factors that account for this are the recent progress and development of new technologies, especially in diagnostic imaging, immunology, cell biology and genetics. Additionally, the perpetual fear of legal liability by physicians accounts for its further decline. Consequently, physicians and medical students are engaged in fewer autopsies and are not reaping the rich educational rewards that accompany these examinations. The purpose of the autopsy is not only to establish the cause of death, but also to determine the nature and course of the disease process. Our goal with this book is to emphasize the importance of the post-mortem exam and the correlation between pathologic material and clinical data by analyzing actual cases with problem-based methodology. The focus of this handbook is on cardiovascular disease, and when appropriate, other disease categories are included if they have an impact on cardiovascular function. The approach is more than the usual clinico-pathological correlation. Rather, we attempt to present the material from the perspective of the autopsy table. We use the clinical data as the initial framework and the autopsy findings to develop a true understanding of the disease and the associated pathophysiology of the condition.
