Recognition of the need for empirical research and interest in its findings are growing in psychoanalysis. Many psychoanalysts now acknowledge that research is imperative to try to deal with the factors propelling the diminution in status and prestige of the discipline, as well as the number of patients in intensive psychoanalytic treatment. In addition, there is increased pressure to expose and acquaint candidates with analytic research in the course of their education. From Psychoanalytic Narrative to Empirical Single Case Research revivifies the experimental potential of psychoanalysis by focusing a number of structured research methods on a single case study. Drs. Kaechele, Schachter, and Thom, in tandem with the Ulm Psychoanalytic Process Research Study Group, bring their formidable tools and knowledge to bear on Amalia X, a former patient of Dr. Thom's, whose case history is well-documented, preserved and available for formal empirical study.
It is the mid-1800s. At Sweet Home in Kentucky, an era is ending as slavery comes under attack from the abolitionists. The worlds of Halle and Paul D. are to be destroyed in a cataclysm of torment and agony. The world of Sethe, however, is to turn from one of love to one of violence and death - the death of Sethe's baby daughter Beloved, whose name is the single word on the tombstone, who died at her mother's hands, and who will return to claim retribution.
Casting a critical eye upon the position described in his previous book, Superstructuralism, Richard Harland claims that structuralist and post-structuralist approaches to language are fatally limited by their focus upon single words. Instead he offers the alternative of a syntagmatic approach, arguing that the nature of meaning is radically transformed in the movement from single words to sentences.
One of the fundamental ideas of chaos theory is the "butterfly
effect," first proposed by Edward Lorenz in the 1960s: a single, small
event may yield exponentially enlarged effects, just as the single flap
of a butterfly's wings may produce vast, unpredictable ramifications in
weather patterns far away. Theorists of literature and culture who
derive their conceptual framework from chaos theory are now performing
the butterfly effect: a few suggestions on the part of certain
physicists and biologists have inspired an exponentially growing
literature of metaphorical applications in faraway fields. The
Aesthetics of Chaos makes the salutory attempt to restrain, summarize,
and unify the multivarious aesthetic theories of chaos.
