The book consists of a dialogue between the opposing sides; most of the papers have responses from the \"other\" side. This dialogue mirrors the early communication between Freud and Jung regarding spirituality, and opens up doors for continuing collaboration between psychoanalysis as a pure science and the spiritual and religious dimensions within.This inspiring collection of papers grew from the lectures held in 2002 at the London Centre for Psychotherapy. In the time of increased interest in more scientific schools of psychoanalysis such as neuropsycho-analysis, there is also a surge of interest in spirituality within psychoanalysis, as demonstrated by the great interest in these lectures.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49582181089553,"sku":"GOR006760425","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1855753529.jpg?v=1751438925"},{"product_id":"the-world-well-lost-a-novel-rare-book-nathan-field-1656402266mhr","title":"The World Well Lost, A Novel","description":"1952.

He was baptised on December 20th. As can be imagined details of much of his life and career have not survived and, accordingly, only a very brief indication of his life and works can be given. Young Fletcher appears at the very young age of eleven to have entered Corpus Christi College at Cambridge University in 1591. There are no records that he ever took a degree but there is some small evidence that he was being prepared for a career in the church. However what is clear is that this was soon abandoned as he joined the stream of people who would leave University and decamp to the more bohemian life of commercial theatre in London. The upbringing of the now teenage Fletcher and his seven siblings now passed to his paternal uncle, the poet and minor official Giles Fletcher. Giles, who had the patronage of the Earl of Essex may have been a liability rather than an advantage to the young Fletcher. With Essex involved in the failed rebellion against Elizabeth Giles was also tainted. By 1606 John Fletcher appears to have equipped himself with the talents to become a playwright. Initially this appears to have been for the Children of the Queen's Revels, then performing at the Blackfriars Theatre. Fletcher's early career was marked by one significant failure; The Faithful Shepherdess, his adaptation of Giovanni Battista Guarini's Il Pastor Fido, which was performed by the Blackfriars Children in 1608. By 1609, however, he had found his stride. With his collaborator John Beaumont, he wrote Philaster, which became a hit for the King's Men and began a profitable association between Fletcher and that company. Philaster appears also to have begun a trend for tragicomedy. By the middle of the 1610s, Fletcher's plays had achieved a popularity that rivalled Shakespeare's and cemented the pre-eminence of the King's Men in Jacobean London. After his frequent early collaborator John Beaumont's early death in 1616, Fletcher continued working, both singly and in collaboration, until his own death in 1625. By that time, he had produced, or had been credited with, close to fifty plays. Nathan Field was born in October 1587 the youngest of seven children, to John and Joan Field. His father, a Purtian preacher, was very much opposed to London's public entertainments and died a few month's into Nathan's life. The idea, at that point, of Nathan being part of London's theatre scene was a non-starter. However, after attending St Paul School in the late 1590's he seems, on or around 1600, to have impressed Nathaniel Giles, the master of the Children of the Chapel Royal and also a manager of the new troupe of boy players at Blackfriars Theatre. Nathan Field would now remain in theatre for the rest of his young life. He performed in the plays of Jonson, Chapman, Beaumont \u0026amp; Fletcher and other leading dramatists of the day. Field stayed with the children's company until 1613, his twenty-sixth year. He appears to be the only one of the boy actors of 1600 to remain with the Blackfriars troupe when, in 1609, Philip Rosseter and Robert Keysar assumed control of the company. In this company, he performed in the theatre in Whitefriars and, frequently, at court, in plays such as Beaumont and Fletcher's The Coxcomb. By this time Field had also added playwright to his talents. His first was A Woman is a Weathercock. This would lead to collaborators with some of the very best and most highly regarded dramatists of their day. Accounts say that Field was thought of as a great actor but set against this was his bohemian lifestyle which was notoriously wild. The gossip of the day reported that Field was forced to quit the stage after a scandal in 1619 when he fathered a child by the Countess of Argyll. Nathan Field died at some point between May 1619 and August 1620. By then he was still only in his early thirties but had made a distinctive contribution to the era's t","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53559355277585,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53559355605265,"sku":"NIN9781787379268","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781787379268.jpg?v=1778761168"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-nathan-field.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
