Polarities of Experiences: Relatedness and Self-definition in Personality Development, Psychopathology and the Therapeutic Process
In this groundbreaking book, Sidney J. Blatt proposes that psychological development is a lifelong personal negotiation between two fundamental dimensions: relatedness and self-definition. Psychological development, from youth to old age, is a constant balancing act between these two polarities, with most individuals favoring to varying degrees either one or the other. Exaggerated emphasis on one developmental line at the expense of the other, however, can lead to a variety of mental disorders. Within this framework, mental disorders are seen not as clusters of present or absent symptoms, as in the current DSM diagnostic system, but rather as compensatory exaggerations of the normal polarities of relatedness and self-definition. The author argues that this idea of personality development has powerful implications for therapy and describes research indicating that people at opposite ends of the spectrum respond differently to psychotherapy with obvious affects on therapeutic change and growth..

Inventing the Barbarian: Greek Self-Definition through Tragedy (Oxford Classical Monographs)
Incest, polygamy, murder, sacrilege, impalement, castration, female power, and despotism are some of the images used by Athenian tragedians to define the non-Greek, "barbarian" world. This book explains for the first time the reasons behind their singular fascination with barbarians Edith Hall sets the Greek plays against the historical background of the Panhellenic wars, and the establishment of an Athenian empire based on democracy and slavery. Analyzed within the context of contemporary anthropology and political philosophy, Hall reveals how the poets conceptualized the barbarian as the negative embodiment of Athenian civic ideals. She compares the treatment of foreigners in Homer and in tragedy, showing that the new dimension which the idea of the barbarian had brought to the tragic theater radically affected the poets' interpretation of myth and their evocation of the distant past, as well as enriching their reportoire of aural and visual effects. Hall argues that the invented barbarian of the tragic stage was a powerful cultural expression of Greek xenophobia and chauvinism that, paradoxically, produced and outburst of creative energy and literary innovation..

Interpersonal Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Relevance, Dismissal and Self-Definition
The themes of relevance (or acceptance0 and dismissal (rejection) are central to our relations with other people and, therefore, to our concept of our identity. These themes of relevance and dismissal pervade Arthur Feiner's exploration of the core ideas of interpersonal psychoanalysis and his use of them in his clinical practice. This particular branch of psychoanalysis, developed by Stack Sullivan, Fromm, Fromm-Reichmann and Thompson, shifts the focus from explaining experience to describing it. If our identity is at least partially constructed from our relationships, then the impact of the analyst's words and behavior on the patient is crucial. Feiner considers the therapeutic relationship both from the patient's perspective - vengeful responses to dismissal, restlessness and the experience of hope - and from the analyst's - deliberate 'misreading' as a form of intervention, and usefulness of errors, and the contradictions and difficulties inherent in supervising - taking an interpersonal psychoanalytic approach. Throughout he returns to his central themes, arguing that the rage, anxiety and depression experienced by patients are expression of the feeling of having been dismissed, of being no longer relevant.

Svatmanirupanam: The True Definition of One's Own Self
"Being is. Being alone is. The Self is the Absolute, and That is the only Reality Such is eternally the Truth. Such is the final conclusion of Advaita Vedanta. This Svatmanirupanam (Definition of One's Own Self), authored by the great sage of Advaita Vedanta, Adi Sankara, is a concise text of this enlightening teaching. As the title declares, it is the teaching regarding the true definition of the Self. The Self is itself Brahman, the vast, formless Absolute, and any contrariwise conception of it is merely delusion. So this teaching is an exposition of what is truly the Self. As there are not actually two selves, for the true Self is the ever-existent and a false self is never-existent, and since one being the object of another is impossible, this teaching is of the nature of one's own Self. The teaching is the revelation of the Self for the purpose of Self-Realization for those who earnestly inquire to know within themselves the answer to the question, "Who am I?"..
