    - Heidegger and the Psychoanalytic Understanding of Borderline Personality Disorder
    by Paul Cammell
    £67.99

    Reinterpreting the Borderline is a timely and comprehensive analysis of HeideggerΓÇÖs philosophy and its relevance to the clinical fields of psychiatry, psychotherapy, and psychoanalysis. Cammell presents the key elements of HeideggerΓÇÖs philosophy and further explores affiliations with other key philosophers influenced by Heidegger. By applying these philosophical ideas to developmental models and clinical treatments of borderline personality disorder, Cammell develops a system of ideas he terms ΓÇ£hermeneutic ontology,ΓÇ¥ exploring the fundamentally relational, embodied, affective, temporal, and technical aspects of existence that become problematized in the experience of ΓÇ£the borderlineΓÇ¥--both for the suffering individual and the concerned clinician. Cammell posits that ΓÇ£borderline experienceΓÇ¥ extends beyond the suffering individual to the context of the psychotherapy itself, something in which the therapist and suffering individual must collaborate to overcome. Reinterpreting the Borderline provides a rich and complex study toward simultaneously overcoming the divide between theory and practice, philosophy and psychotherapy, and finally the borderline between suffering individuals and their concerned clinicians.

    - Dissociation, Shame, and the Ethics of Inauthenticity
    by Ronald C. Naso
    £81.99

    Hypocrisy Unmasked aims more broadly to situate the phenomenon of hypocrisy within a postmodern framework, explaining it as a compromise fashioned by an embodied agent struggling to adapt and flourish amid moral ambiguity and uncertainty. Because morality ultimately is subjective, hypocrisy can no longer be conceptualized as an objective property of behavior or an empirical consequence divorced from the belief systems in which the agent is embedded. For this reason, this book argues that hypocrisy is neither inherently vicious nor virtuous. Instead, it is more usefully regarded as a condition of our humanity, one that speaks deeply to the conflicts and competing interests that define who we are.
