Jenna’s journey teaches her that no matter how bad things seem, they can always get worse...
Jenna Murphy, a 44 year-old Psychotherapist, is struggling to overcome her own demons of trust and self-esteem when her husband Robert drops the bombshell that he is leaving her for reasons beyond her comprehension. Left floundering in the wave of destruction, Jenna finds herself splashing about in the deep end - and she's not a very good swimmer.
Now a single mother, she has reached 'men-o-pause' erratic, forgetful, and a little more than neurotic, whilst projecting calm and professionalism as she counsels clients to a better life. With the outrageous antics of Miranda - Man-Eater Deluxe, Jenna slowly learns that Life moves on whether you’re strapped in or not.
Add in an amorous dog and forgetful cat, and Jenna realises the time has come to use a particularly large hammer to nail closed the lid on Pandora’s Box, once and for all.
Now if only she could find where she left her mind…

HEALING WITHOUT FREUD OR PROZAC (B) (NEC)

In the 1898 volume of the Monatschrift für Psychiatrie und Neurologie I published under the title of ‘The Psychical Mechanism of Forgetfulness’ a short paper the substance of which I shall recapitulate here and take as the starting-point for more extensive discussions. In it I applied psychological analysis to the frequent circumstance of proper names being temporarily forgotten, by exploring a highly suggestive example drawn from my self-observation; and I reached the conclusion that this particular instance (admittedly commonplace and without much practical significance), in which a psychical function - the memory - refuses to operate, admits of an explanation much more far-reaching than that which the phenomenon is ordinarily made to yield.
If a psychologist were asked to explain why it is that on so many occasions a proper name which we think we know perfectly well fails to enter our heads, he would, unless I am much mistaken, be satisfied with answering that proper names succumb more easily to the process of being forgotten than other kinds of memory-content. He would bring forward the plausible reasons why proper names should thus be singled out for special treatment, but would not suspect that any other conditions played their part in such occurrences.
My close preoccupation with the phenomenon of names being temporarily forgotten arose out of my observation of certain characteristics which could be recognized sufficiently clearly in individual cases, though not, it is true, in all of them. These are cases in which a name is in fact not only forgotten, but wrongly remembered. In the course of our efforts to recover the name that has dropped out, other ones - substitute names - enter our consciousness; we recognize them at once, indeed, as incorrect, but they keep on returning and force themselves on us with great persistence. The process that should lead to the reproduction of the missing name has been so to speak displaced and has therefore led to an incorrect substitute. My hypothesis is that this displacement is not left to arbitrary psychical choice but follows paths which can be predicted and which conform to laws. In other words, I suspect that the name or names which are substituted are connected in a discoverable way with the missing name: and I hope, if I am successful in demonstrating this connection, to proceed to throw light on the circumstances in which names are forgotten.

Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) revolutionized the way in which we think about ourselves. From its beginnings as a theory of neurosis, Freud developed psycho-analysis into a general psychology, which became widely accepted as the predominant mode of discussing personality and interpersonal relationships.

How did Sigmund Freud first become a household name in America? "Freud, Murder, and Fame" highlights the importance of the 1924 Leopold and Loeb murder trial (“the Crime of the Century”), when testimony from Freudian psychoanalysts captivated the nation. The trial’s front-page media exposure introduced many Americans to Freudian theory, as seemingly everyone became engrossed in the senseless murder of 14-year-old Bobby Franks.
This book offers an evidence-based interpretation of how Freud first achieved widespread fame in America. It also provides “Lessons in Psychology’s Fascinating History” that demonstrate the process of recreating the past, teach how to differentiate historical fiction from historical fact, and stress the importance of critically evaluating historical interpretations. Finally, it counteracts the negative stereotype that history is boring. It should interest general readers, students, scholars, and educators; anyone who is passionate about history, psychology, psychoanalysis, Freud, or the psychological aspects of crime can find it worthwhile.

Here are the essential ideas of psychoanalytic theory, including Freud's explanations of such concepts as the Id, Ego and Super-Ego, the Death Instinct and Pleasure Principle, along with classic case studies like that of the Wolf Man.
Adam Phillips's marvellous selection provides an ideal overview of Freud's thought in all its extraordinary ambition and variety. Psychoanalysis may be known as the 'talking cure', yet it is also and profoundly, a way of reading. Here we can see Freud's writings as readings and listenings, deciphering the secrets of the mind, finding words for desires that have never found expression. Much more than this, however, The Penguin Freud Reader presents a compelling reading of life as we experience it today, and a way in to the work of one of the most haunting writers of the modern age.
