Lectures on Technique by Melanie Klein Edited with Critical Review by John Steiner Lectures on Technique by Melanie Klein is based on a series of six lectures given by Melanie Klein to students at the British Psychoanalytical Society in 1936 and repeated several times in subsequent years. They were discovered in the Melanie Klein Archives housed in the Wellcome Medical Library and have been previously described by Elizabeth Spillius but never before published. In this book John Steiner explores what characterises Kleinian Technique how her technique changed over the years what she saw as the correct psychoanalytical attitude and how psychoanalytic technique has changed since Klein’s death. Melanie Klein who moved to England from Berlin in 1927 became one of the leading psychoanalysts following Freud and making an important contribution in the theory and practice of psychoanalysis. A pioneer in child analysis her work remains widely influential throughout the world. This book consists of the full text of the original six lectures accompanied by a critical analysis from John Steiner who is known internationally as a leading Kleinian analyst and writer. Steiner demonstrates the importance of the lectures in understanding Klein’s work and their continued relevance for contemporary psychoanalysis. In addition also published for the first time this book includes annotated transcripts of a preserved recording of a seminar Klein held in 1958 with young analysts of the British Psychoanalytical Society. In this seminar close to the end of her life many of the points made in the earlier lectures were elaborated upon and brought further up to date in light of developments in Klein’s thinking during the intervening years. Featuring rare previously unpublished material Lectures on Technique by Melanie Klein provides a new and significant contribution to understanding of the Kleinian paradigm. It will be essential reading for all psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists interested in and influenced by Klein’s work and legacy. | Lectures on Technique by Melanie Klein Edited with Critical Review by John Steiner GBP 43.99 1
Discipline by Mary Brunton Discipline the second novel by the Scottish writer Mary Brunton (1778-1818) was published in 1814. While less well known than its predecessor Self-Control (1811) it is nonetheless equally deserving of a central place in the canon of Romantic-era fiction. A wide-ranging novel it shares many themes with contemporary fiction such as women’s difficulties in earning money and the horror of being falsely imprisoned in an insane asylum. However it is Discipline’s innovative attempt at psychological realism that sets it apart from its contemporaries. Through the moral growth of its heroine Ellen Percy Discipline insists on women’s self-determination and their ability to become rational agents in a world that treats them as objects merely of desire or contempt. This edition is edited by Olivia Murphy who has added careful editorial notes and an insightful new introduction to the text. | Discipline by Mary Brunton GBP 125.00 1

Butoh as Heard by a Dancer This book explores the origins of Butoh in post-war Japan through orality and transmission in conjunction with an embodied research approach. The book is a gathering of seminal artistic voices – Yoshito Ohno Natsu Nakajima Yukio Waguri Moe Yamamoto Masaki Iwana Ko Murobushi Yukio Suzuki Takao Kawaguchi Yuko Kaseki and the philosopher Kuniichi Uno. These conversations happened during an extended research trip I made to Japan to understand the context and circumstances that engendered Butoh. Alongside these exchanges are my reflections on Butoh’s complex history. These are primarily informed by my pedagogical and performance encounters with the artists I met during this time rather than a theoretical analysis. Through the words of these dancers I investigate Butoh’s tendency to evade categorization. Butoh’s artistic legacy of bodily rebellion plurality of authorship and fluidity of form seems prescient and feels more relevant in contemporary times than ever before. This book is intended as a practitioner's guide for dancers artists students and scholars with an interest in non-Western dance and dance history postmodern performance and Japanese arts and culture. | Butoh as Heard by a Dancer GBP 130.00 1
Names Fashioned by Gender Stitched Perceptions Names are very powerful and significant especially in the African context. Across societies there is a universal albeit taken-for-granted fact that all human beings have names. Names Fashioned by Gender is a collection of essays on onomastics—a linguistics field of study focusing on the origin form history and use of proper names. The study of naming potentially provides significant evidence about the role of gender in the assimilation and/or enculturation processes as personal names evoke insight into the construction of gender and personhood in African societies. The book takes intellectual course from the idea that how names are viewed and used is heavily context-dependent and gendered. It demonstrates that personal names are narratives derived from different contexts within various cultures and circumstances subsequently imposing different identities on name bearers. Through persuasive essays this book elucidates that naming is an activity that needs to be conducted cautiously because names tend to determine the destiny and character of an individual.

Learning by Teaching Evidence-based Strategies to Enhance Learning in the Classroom This book provides an essential overview of learning by teaching unpacking the underpinning theory research evidence and practical implications of peer learning in a variety of classroom contexts. It aims to offer practical guidance for practitioners in structuring effective peer learning – between professionals and between students alike. It locates this phenomenon in current conceptions of learning and teaching far removed from traditional ideas of one-way transmission of knowledge. Exactly what happens to promote learning by teaching is explored. Examples of learning by teaching are discussed and it is noted that this happens in school university and the workplace as well as through the Internet. Learning by teaching within the student body is then explored and many different methods described. The organizational features needed to improve learning by teaching consciously and deliberately are investigated. These can be before teaching during teaching or after teaching. Evidence-based practical guidance is given. Of course teachers can deploy learning by teaching for themselves but what if they also organize their students to teach each other thereby giving many more opportunities to discuss practise explain and question? This takes pedagogical advantage of the differences between students – turning classrooms into communities of learners where students learn both from their teacher and from their peers. | Learning by Teaching Evidence-based Strategies to Enhance Learning in the Classroom GBP 28.99 1
