In diesem Buch schreiben zwei Jungianer und ein Freudianer über die Notwendigkeit, den tiefenpsychologischen Erkenntnisansatz pfleglich zu behandeln. Angesichts des rasanten Zuwachses an neurowissenschaftlichen und kognitionspsychologischen Befunden und Theorien scheinen die ursprünglichen Entdeckungen Sigmund Freuds und Carl Gustav Jungs hoffnungslos überholt und veraltet. Aber gerade angesichts der derzeitigen Überschätzung des positivistischen Wissens und seiner Einseitigkeiten ist das Querdenken der Tiefenpsychologie unverzichtbar. Trotz der Revision mancher Auffassungen bleiben die grundsätzlichen Erkenntnishaltungen und ihre Anwendungen in der Therapie ebenso wie ihre Anregungen für andere Wissenschaften auch ein Jahrhundert später absolut notwendig. Mehr noch: Die Tiefenpsychologie sollte als Grundlage einer Wissenschaft vom Menschen betrachtet werden. Product details ...

Everyone, it seems, is a fan of Audrey's. She was Gigi, a princess, Holly Golightly, a nun, Maid Marian, even an angel. And we believed her in every role. But Audrey Hepburn was also one of the most admired and emulated women of the twentieth century, who encouraged women to discover and highlight their own strength.

Audrey was like that in real life, only a million times better, says designer Jeffrey Banks. For the first time, this style biography reveals the details--fashion and otherwise--that contributed so greatly to Audrey's appeal.

"If you want to know about AI, read this book...It shows how a supposedly futuristic reverence for Artificial Intelligence retards progress when it denigrates our most irreplaceable resource for any future progress: our own human intelligence."-Peter Thiel A cutting-edge AI researcher and tech entrepreneur debunks the fantasy that superintelligence is just a few clicks away-and argues that this myth is not just wrong, it's actively blocking innovation and distorting our ability to make the crucial next leap.

For decades Prince Philip shared the Queen's burden of office without upstaging her, always privately providing reassurance and advice but never overstepping the boundaries of his supporting role. It was an unforgiving position - a challenge for anyone - but one that he met head on. He remained the Queen's adviser and closest confidant and was known as such the world over. That said, he was wise enough to recognise his limitations and the constraints of his role. He always seemed to instinctively know when it was time to step back and let his wife take the lead. His job was, after all, to allow her star to shine. Robert Jobson's magnificent biography of the Duke of Edinburgh tells the full story of his remarkable life and achievements, and how, after his marriage in 1947 to Princess Elizabeth, this dedicated military man spent so much of his life dutifully supporting his wife. Though he created a role for himself as a determined moderniser and environmental campaigner, an...
