Paperback. Condition: Fine. This book, by a well established author previously writing in a quite different genre, that of psychoanalysis, psychotherapy and counselling, is written for an entirely different readership. Patrick Casement has put together a fascinating account of his strange journey from a privileged background, through schools and national service, and then through university, avoiding throughout the wishes of his family for him to join the Royal Navy. Instead, he leaves university with a degree but heads straight into becoming a bricklayer's mate. From there, eventually, he gets through the vicissitudes of probation and social work, and the hilarious experiences of trying to furnish his first flat. He thus moves into what he describes as the real world - getting what his family would regard as a real job (or two). But despite that, he continues on his unpredictable journey - into becoming a psychotherapist and then a psychoanalyst: what his mother thought was training to become a psychotic. This book is filled with laughter - that of the author laughing at himself as he invites the reader to laugh along with him in his journey through the vicissitudes of life.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Insect Invaders: The Impact of Invasive Species on Ecosystems and Biodiversity is a critical examination of the pervasive issue of invasive insects and their profound effects on natural ecosystems and biodiversity. This book serves as an essential resource for ecologists, environmentalists, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the complexities of invasive species and their ramifications for our environment.The exploration begins with an introduction to invasive insects, defining their characteristics and the patterns of their global spread. By elucidating the mechanisms through which these species invade new territories, readers gain insight into the ecological and economic contexts that facilitate their proliferation. The book underscores the urgency of addressing this growing threat, setting the stage for a deeper investigation into the consequences of these invaders.Economic impacts of invasive species are examined in detail, highlighting the losses incurred in agriculture, forestry, and public health. The book presents case studies that reveal the extensive damage caused by invasive insects, including crop failures, forest degradation, and increased healthcare costs associated with vector-borne diseases. These narratives illustrate how invasive species disrupt livelihoods and challenge economic stability, emphasizing the need for effective management strategies.Turning to ecological consequences, the book reveals how invasive insects compete with native species, displacing them and altering habitats. Through detailed discussions of competition, habitat alteration, disease transmission, and risks of extinction, readers will understand the intricate web of relationships that invasive species disrupt. The book illustrates how these invaders can destabilize food webs and threaten the very fabric of biodiversity, leading to long-term ecological changes.Case studies from Asia and the Americas provide concrete examples of invasive insects in action. The Asian Longhorn Beetle and rice pests in Southeast Asia serve as cautionary tales of ecological and economic disruption, while the Emerald Ash Borer and fire ants in the Americas highlight the diverse threats faced by native ecosystems. These case studies not only illustrate the specific impacts of invasive species but also underscore the global nature of the problem.Management and control strategies form a crucial part of the discussion. The book evaluates biological control methods, chemical strategies, and integrated pest management, providing a comprehensive overview of current practices and innovations. By exploring the effectiveness and limitations of these approaches, the book encourages readers to consider holistic and sustainable solutions to combat the spread of invasive insects.Looking to the future, Insect Invaders emphasizes the importance of prevention and early detection systems. It discusses the need for international cooperation, public awareness campaigns, and predictive modeling to anticipate and mitigate the impacts of invasive species. By fostering a proactive approach to invasive species management, the book aims to empower readers to contribute to conservation efforts and protect native ecosystems. …

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. On Learning from the Patient is concerned with the potential for psychoanalytic thinking to become self-perpetuating. Patrick Casement explores afresh the dynamics of the helping relationship - learning to recognize how patients offer cues to the therapeutic experience that they are unconsciously in search of. Using many telling clinical examples, he illustrates how, through trial identification, he has learned to monitor the implications of his own contributions to a session from the viewpoint of the patient. He thus shows how, with the aid of this internal supervision, many initial failures to respond appropriately can be remedied and even used to the benefit of the therapeutic work. By learning to distinguish better what helps the therapeutic process from what hinders it, ways are discovered whereby the circularity of pre-conception can more effectively be avoided by those who aim to understand the unconscious of others. From this lively examination of key clinical issues, the author comes to see psychoanalytic therapy as a process of re-discovering theory - and developing a technique that is more specifically related to the individual patient.The dynamics illustrated here, particularly the processes of interactive communication and containment, occur in any helping relationship and are applicable throughout the caring professions. Patrick Casement's unusually frank presentation of his own work, aided by his lucid and non-technical language, allows wide scope for readers to form their own ideas about the approach to technique he describes. This book, together with its sequel Further Learning from the Patient, will be invaluable to trainee and practising analysts or therapists, and those teaching in related professions. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Personal reflections on faith and psychoanalysis from a leading British psychoanalyst.What is it that lies beyond our knowing, beyond our imagination and beyond our understanding: beyond the reach of either science or philosophy? Might there be some unimaginable energy, some incomprehensible wisdom and purpose, that will forever remain beyond our comprehending?Patrick Casement explores the questions that arise repeatedly in the minds of all those who have faith, or an interest in faith. Some of the pieces in this collection are from the early part of his life, before he became interested in psychoanalysis, when as a young man he considered ordination. These are followed by reflections from later life, looking at his life's journey and how faith and psychoanalysis have been entwined throughout.This collection is offered to the reader in the hope that some of it might resonate in the minds of others who have been asking similar questions about life, and why are we here. …
