very good dust-jacket, very good light blue cloth, cover a bit soiled and lightly warped, text appears little used if at all. BRENDEL, DAVID H. Healing psychiatry: bridging the science/humanism divide. Cambridge, Mass.: MIT Press, 2006, 1st printing number line ending in 1, xxii, 178pp., . Series: Basic bioethics "Psychiatry today is torn by opposing sensibilities. Is it primarily a science of brain functioning or primarily an art of understanding the human mind in its social and cultural context? Competing conceptions of mental illness as amenable to scientific explanation or as deeply complex and beyond the reach of empirical study have left the field conceptually divided between science and humanism. In Healing Psychiatry David Brendel takes a novel approach to this stubborn problem. Drawing on the classical American pragmatism of Charles Sanders Peirce, William James, and John Dewey, as well as contemporary work of pragmatic bioethicists, Brendel proposes a "clinical pragmatism" that synthesizes scientific and humanistic approaches to mental health care. Psychiatry, he argues, must integrate scientific and humanistic models by emphasizing the practical, pluralistic, participatory, and provisional aspects of clinical diagnosis and treatment. Psychiatrists need to have the skill and flexibility to use scientific and humanistic approaches in a collaborative, open-ended clinical process; they must recognize the complexity of human suffering even as they strive for scientific rigor. This is the only way, he writes, that psychiatry can heal its conceptual rift and the emotional wounds of its patients." - CONTENTS: Science and Humanism in Psychiatry -- A Pragmatic Approach to Psychiatry -- Pragmatism in Action: Clinical Cases -- Pragmatism and the Mind/Body Problem -- Sigmund Freud: Scientist and Pragmatist -- Pragmatism in Neurology and Psychiatry -- Pragmatism in Psychiatric Diagnosis -- Pragmatism and the Future of Psychiatry. 9780262025942 ISBN 0262025949.

Trade Paperback. Condición: Used - Good. From the Gothic to the contemporary, glass has transformed thestructural, formal, and philosophical principles of architecture. In The GlassState, Annette Fierro views the many meanings of transparency in architecture.Specifically, she analyzes the transparent monumental buildings that were built inParis between 1981 and 1998 as part of Francois Mitterrand's program of GrandsProjets. The Grands Projets provide a rare opportunity to study a finite set ofbuildings constructed of similar materials, in the same time period, in a specificurban landscape, and with related ideological missions.Fierro employs a 'discourseof the detail,' in which the smallest architectural detail manifests the political, theoretical, and urban contexts of the building's design and construction. Sheexamines the paradox of the most pared down architectural configurations being usedto support the most complex meanings. Intrinsic to Mitterrand's glass buildings inParis, for example, is a political concept: the metaphor of accessibility as a meansof breaking open cultural institutions previously closed to the public.In additionto the structures of the Grands Projets -- the Institut du Monde Arabe, the Grandeand Petite Pyramides du Louvre, the glass greenhouses at utopian park projects at LaVillette and Andre Citro?n and the Bibliotheque nationale de France -- Fierrodiscusses the Fondation Cartier and two precedent structures, the Centre GeorgesPompidou and the Eiffel Tower. A study of the technological, theoretical, and cultural significance of the transparency of the glass structures of Francois Mitterrand's Grands Projets in Paris. shelf wear on bottom edge.

Wegenstein, Bernadette. Getting under the skin: the body and media theory. Cambridge, Mass.: MIT Press, 2006, xxii, 211pp., very good dust-jacket, very good black cloth. "The body as an object of critical study dominates disciplines across the humanities to such an extent that a new discipline has emerged: body criticism. In Getting Under the Skin, Bernadette Wegenstein traces contemporary body discourse in philosophy and cultural studies to its roots in twentieth-century thought - showing how psychoanalysis, phenomenology, cognitive science, and feminist theory contributed to a new body concept - and studies the millenial body in performance art, popular culture, new media arts, and architecture." - CONTENTS: Making room for the body -- Body performances from 1960s wounds 1990s extensions -- How faces have become obsolete -- The medium is the body. 9780262232470 ISBN 0262232472.
