遊戲中的孩子，忘我到幾乎脫離現實。
他們佔據一個無法輕易離開，也不容他人入侵的領域。
這領域不是內在的心理現實，是在個人之外，卻不是外面……
遊戲是個體驗，有創意的體驗，而且還是將時空連續一體的體驗，
也就是生存的一種基本形式。
唐諾‧溫尼考特的行醫生涯從小兒科開始，而後對兒童心理學愈來愈感著迷。因他與嬰幼兒接觸的豐富臨床工作經驗，而對人類發展成長的知識，做出了舉世皆知的獨特貢獻，且備受推崇。溫尼考特長期關注的主題是：想像力的泉源何在？又是甚麼決定了個人能活得有創造力？在本書中，他接續1953年提出的論文「過渡客體與過渡現象」，深化其理論，藉著十一個章節來探討這個哲學家和詩人向來關注的領域。
溫尼考特稱之為「中間領域」。他認為這領域是極度私密的，介於內在和外在現實之間，它的存在與運用，全看每個人最初的生活體驗而定。假如兒童可以使用這個領域來開啟他們跟這個世界的關係，起先透過過渡客體，後來透過獨樂樂的個人遊戲，以及眾樂樂的團體遊戲，一個豐富的文化體驗就會向他們展開，他們也就可以擁有真正的創造力。
1971年，他在完成《遊戲與現實》不久，即撒手人寰。目前本書已成為心理學和精神分析的經典名著。

在西方，关于心理创伤疗愈的著作非常丰富，其中最通俗易懂的当属美国顶级心理创伤专家朱迪思•赫尔曼所写的《创伤与复原》。
书中对于心理创伤的来源与内涵有很清楚的定义：受害者在压倒性的力量下陷于无助，从而形成一种强烈恐惧、失控和面临毁灭威胁的感觉。这种压倒性的力量，可以是地震、台风这类的天灾，也可能是战争、性侵害等暴行。创伤受害者所承受的，除了直接伤害，社会往往也是另一种压力的来源。原因是，研究和治疗心理创伤“就不得不面对人类在自然界中的脆弱，以及人性的邪恶”。而这些丑陋的东西却正是整个社会所不想面对，一般人希望眼不见为净的。因此，也便产生了“受害的一方或许想遗忘，但是却无法遗忘；旁观的一方有着不自觉的强烈动机要遗忘，而就真的遗忘了”的矛盾情境。
本书的临床素材取自作者在一家女性精神医疗中心的20年执业经验和研究成果， 以及她在一所大学的附属医院10年教学和担任督导的经验，主题覆盖了乱伦恶行受害者、家庭暴力受害者，以及那些曾参与过战役的退伍军人和恐怖活动的受害者。
自1992年出版，本书就被誉为一部开创性的作品。它将个人经验放在一个更广阔的社会背景中，主张心理创伤只能在社会背景中加以理解。出版20多年来，它改变了人们思考和治疗创伤事件与创伤受害者的方式。
对于心理咨询师和创伤治疗专家来说，本书将帮助你深入理解来访者心理创伤的本质，并提供有效的方法来辅助你，帮助来访者从创伤中复原。
对于创伤受害者来说，你可以在本书中获得理解和共鸣，更加深入地洞察自己的心理状态，并获得真正有效的帮助。

Millions of lives are damaged by the legacy of parental abuse. Parents who ignored their children's needs or overburdened them with guilt. Parents who were alcoholic or addicted to drugs. Parents who were exploitative and cruel, or simply indifferent and inadequate. When these children reach adulthood the damage done by their toxic parents manifests itself in depression, or difficulties with relationships, careers and decision-making. This book confronts this painful legacy and shows why it is so difficult to put the past behind you. She offers alternatives for achieving inner peace and for freeing yourself from the frustrating patterns of your relationships with your parents. Filled with case histories and testimony from adult children of toxic parents, this book also offers the self-help techniques Dr Forward has developed to change the lives of her patients.

If you grew up with an emotionally immature, unavailable, or selfish parent, you may have lingering feelings of anger, loneliness, betrayal, or abandonment. You may recall your childhood as a time when your emotional needs were not met, when your feelings were dismissed, or when you took on adult levels of responsibility in an effort to compensate for your parent’s behavior. These wounds can be healed, and you can move forward in your life.
In this breakthrough book, clinical psychologist Lindsay Gibson exposes the destructive nature of parents who are emotionally immature or unavailable. You will see how these parents create a sense of neglect, and discover ways to heal from the pain and confusion caused by your childhood. By freeing yourself from your parents’ emotional immaturity, you can recover your true nature, control how you react to them, and avoid disappointment. Finally, you’ll learn how to create positive, new relationships so you can build a better life.
Discover the four types of difficult parents:
The emotional parent instills feelings of instability and anxiety
The driven parent stays busy trying to perfect everything and everyone
The passive parent avoids dealing with anything upsetting
The rejecting parent is withdrawn, dismissive, and derogatory

A deeply honest investigation of what it means to be a woman and a commodity from Emily Ratajkowski, the archetypal, multi-hyphenate celebrity of our time.
Emily Ratajkowski is an acclaimed model and actress, an engaged political progressive, a formidable entrepreneur, a global social media phenomenon, and now, a writer. Rocketing to world fame at age twenty-one, Ratajkowski sparked both praise and furor with the provocative display of her body as an unapologetic statement of feminist empowerment. The subsequent evolution in her thinking about our culture's commodification of women is the subject of this book.
My Body is a profoundly personal exploration of feminism, sexuality, and power, of men's treatment of women and women's rationalizations for accepting that treatment. These essays chronicle moments from Ratajkowski's life while investigating the culture's fetishization of girls and female beauty, its obsession with and contempt for women's sexuality, the perverse dynamics of the fashion and film industries, and the grey area between consent and abuse.
Nuanced, unflinching, and incisive, My Body marks the debut of a fierce writer brimming with courage and intelligence.

Mark Haddon's bitterly funny debut novel, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, is a murder mystery of sorts--one told by an autistic version of Adrian Mole. Fifteen-year-old Christopher John Francis Boone is mathematically gifted and socially hopeless, raised in a working-class home by parents who can barely cope with their child's quirks. He takes everything that he sees (or is told) at face value, and is unable to sort out the strange behavior of his elders and peers.
Late one night, Christopher comes across his neighbor's poodle, Wellington, impaled on a garden fork. Wellington's owner finds him cradling her dead dog in his arms, and has him arrested. After spending a night in jail, Christopher resolves--against the objection of his father and neighbors--to discover just who has murdered Wellington. He is encouraged by Siobhan, a social worker at his school, to write a book about his investigations, and the result--quirkily illustrated, with each chapter given its own prime number--is The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.


Haddon's novel is a startling performance. This is the sort of book that could turn condescending, or exploitative, or overly sentimental, or grossly tasteless very easily, but Haddon navigates those dangers with a sureness of touch that is extremely rare among first-time novelists. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is original, clever, and genuinely moving: this one is a must-read. --Jack Illingworth, Amazon.ca--This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

The struggle to pay for college is one of the defining features of middle-class life in America today. At kitchen tables all across the country, parents agonize over whether to burden their children with loans or to sacrifice their own financial security by taking out a second mortgage or draining their retirement savings. Indebted takes readers into the homes of middle-class families throughout the nation to reveal the hidden consequences of student debt and the ways that financing college has transformed family life.
Caitlin Zaloom gained the confidence of numerous parents and their college-age children, who talked candidly with her about stressful and intensely personal financial matters that are usually kept private. In this remarkable book, Zaloom describes the profound moral conflicts for parents as they try to honor what they see as their highest parental duty―providing their children with opportunity―and shows how parents and students alike are forced to take on enormous debts and gamble on an investment that might not pay off. What emerges is a troubling portrait of an American middle class fettered by the "student finance complex"―the bewildering labyrinth of government-sponsored institutions, profit-seeking firms, and university offices that collect information on household earnings and assets, assess family needs, and decide who is eligible for aid and who is not.
Superbly written and unflinchingly honest, Indebted breaks through the culture of silence surrounding the student debt crisis, revealing the unspoken costs of sending our kids to college.

本书是一部参与式观察研究的范本，作者通过考察一所美国精英高中的日常，研究精英意识和行为是如何一步步在社会互动中形成的。尤其是在现代信息社会知识易得的情况下，这些年轻人在接纳美式勤奋观的同时，不再比拼知识的占有。他们淡化了对“高尚情趣”和“你认识谁”的重视程度，取而代之关心一个人认识世界的方式和在这个世界里扮演的角色。这条成为精英的道路很特别，奇妙地结合了当代文化习俗和古典价值观。像圣保罗和常春藤这样的院校看上去越来越不像一个排外的游艇俱乐部，而是越来越接近我们多样性社会的一个缩影——一个包含细致具体的社会规则的微观世界。

【内容简介】
当我们谈论不平等时，有两个问题无法回避：一是什么阻碍了穷人摆脱贫困，二是什么助力了富人维持富有。在阶层固化日益让人焦虑的今天，对后一个问题的探讨更为重要。为什么在我们的社会中，获得高薪职位的往往是来自富裕家庭的学生？是什么让他们顺利通过选拔？
为了回答这些问题，劳伦·A.里韦拉深入美国起薪最高的行业——投行、咨询和律所，访谈上百位招聘官和求职者，详细考察了宣讲会、内部推荐、简历投递、面试和评议等招聘环节，通过丰富的案例，揭示出看似能力取向的选拔标准如何帮助精英阶层完成了优势地位的代际传递。除对选拔机制的分析外，书中披露的大量招聘内部知识，亦可作为普通人突破阶层天花板的行动指南。

Study Gods offers a rare look at the ways privileged youth in China prepare themselves to join the ranks of the global elite. Yi-Lin Chiang shows how these competitive Chinese high schoolers first become “study gods” (xueshen), a term describing academically high-performing students. Constant studying, however, is not what explains their success, for these young people appear god-like in their effortless abilities to excel. Instead, Chiang explores how elite adolescents achieve by absorbing and implementing the rules surrounding status.
Drawing from eight years of fieldwork and extensive interviews, Chiang reveals the important lessons that Chinese youth learn in their pursuit of elite status. They understand the hierarchy of the status system, recognizing and acquiring the characteristics that are prized, while avoiding those that are not. They maintain status by expecting differential treatment and performing status-based behaviors, which guide their daily interactions with peers, teachers, and parents. Lastly, with the help of resourceful parents, they rely on external assistance in the face of potential obstacles and failures. Chiang looks at how students hone these skills, applying them as they head to colleges and careers around the world, and in their relationships with colleagues and supervisors.
Highlighting another facet of China’s rising power, Study Gods announces the arrival of a new generation to the realm of global competition.

The ethical and emotional tolls paid by disadvantaged college students seeking upward mobility and what educators can do to help these students flourish
Upward mobility through the path of higher education has been an article of faith for generations of working-class, low-income, and immigrant college students. While we know this path usually entails financial sacrifices and hard work, very little attention has been paid to the deep personal compromises such students have to make as they enter worlds vastly different from their own. Measuring the true cost of higher education for those from disadvantaged backgrounds, Moving Up without Losing Your Way looks at the ethical dilemmas of upward mobility—the broken ties with family and friends, the severed connections with former communities, and the loss of identity—faced by students as they strive to earn a successful place in society.
Drawing upon philosophy, social science, personal stories, and interviews, Jennifer Morton reframes the college experience, factoring in not just educational and career opportunities but also essential relationships with family, friends, and community. Finding that student strivers tend to give up the latter for the former, negating their sense of self, Morton seeks to reverse this course. She urges educators to empower students with a new narrative of upward mobility—one that honestly situates ethical costs in historical, social, and economic contexts and that allows students to make informed decisions for themselves.
A powerful work with practical implications, Moving Up without Losing Your Way paves a hopeful road so that students might achieve social mobility while retaining their best selves.

Since the early 1980s, the rapidly increasing cost of college, together with what many see as inadequate attention to teaching, has elicited a barrage of protest. Buying the Best looks at the realities behind these criticisms--at the economic factors that are in fact driving the institutions that have been described as machines without brakes. In designing his study, Charles Clotfelter examines the escalation in spending in the arts and sciences at four elite Harvard, Duke, Chicago, and Carleton. He argues that the rise in costs has less to do with increasing faculty salaries or lowered productivity than with a broad-based effort to improve quality, provide new services to students, pay for large investments in new facilities and equipment (including computers), and ensure access for low-income students through increasingly expensive financial aid.

In Clotfelter's view, spiraling costs arise from the institutions' lofty ambitions and are made possible by steadily intensifying demand for places in the country's elite colleges and universities. Only if this demand slackens will universities be pressured to make cuts or pursue efficiencies. Buying the Best is the first study to make use of the internal historical records of specific institutions, as opposed to the frequently unreliable aggregate records made available by the federal government for the use of survey researchers. As such, it has the virtue of allowing Clotfelter to draw much more realistic comparative conclusions than have hitherto been reported. While acknowledging the obvious drawbacks of a small sample, Clotfelter notes that the institutions studied are significant for the disproportionate influence they, and comparable elite institutions, exercise upon research and upon the training of future leaders. The book contains a foreword by William G. Bowen, President of the Mellon Foundation, and Harold T. Shapiro, President of Princeton University.

"Concern about ever-rising costs runs like a thread through the myriad critiques of higher education that have been published in recent years. . . . One of the great contributions of Clotfelter's work is to dismiss easy explanations for the problems that worry us. With some of the scales removed from their eyes, both those with responsibility for the future of higher education and observers who continue to expect an ever-wider scope of effort from particular colleges and universities, can now adjust their focus. Armed with this original and extremely useful analysis, we can confront more directly (and with less romanticism) the real choices before us as we seek to employ limited resources most effectively in the service of teaching and research."-William G. Bowen, President, Mellon Foundation, Harold T. Shapiro, President, Princeton University, from the foreword

Why higher education is not a silver bullet for eradicating economic inequality and social injustice We often think that a college degree will open doors to opportunity regardless of one’s background or upbringing. In this eye-opening book, two of today’s leading economists argue that higher education alone cannot overcome the lasting effects of inequality that continue to plague us, and offer sensible solutions for building a more just and equitable society.Sandy Baum and Michael McPherson document the starkly different educational and social environments in which children of different races and economic backgrounds grow up, and explain why social equity requires sustained efforts to provide the broadest possible access to high-quality early childhood and K–12 education. They dismiss panaceas like eliminating college tuition and replacing the classroom experience with online education, revealing why they fail to provide better education for those who need it most, and discuss how wages in our dysfunctional labor market are sharply skewed toward the highly educated. Baum and McPherson argue that greater investment in the postsecondary institutions that educate most low-income and marginalized students will have a bigger impact than just getting more students from these backgrounds into the most prestigious colleges and universities.While the need for reform extends far beyond our colleges and universities, there is much that both academic and government leaders can do to mitigate the worst consequences of America’s deeply seated inequalities. This book shows how we can address the root causes of social injustice and level the playing field for students and families before, during, and after college.

这是一本从A字母到Z字母编写而成的小说。作者贾各布斯毕业于常青藤名校，从小以为自己是世界上最聪明的人，但毕业数年后他发现自己每天被各种忙碌繁琐的工作缠身，知识水准日益低落，于是他制定了一个伟大的目标：把《大英百科全书》从头到尾读一遍。
尽管开始他身边的每个人都认为他发疯了，但他仍坚持不懈地执行这一计划，并且以自嘲式的幽默风格将计划的执行过程记录成书。
在这种非同凡响的阅读体验中，作者的脑海中也不时迸发出各种稀奇古怪的联想，想象力和创造力也大大增强，并且深深体会到终生学习的乐趣。
也许贾各布斯在啃完大英百科全书之后没有成为这个世界上最聪明的人，但无疑，他成为了一个最风趣的人。

《欧洲文学与拉丁中世纪》是文学批评领域的经典著作，全景式地研究了欧洲文学与中世纪文学之间的关联，前所未有地发掘了二者之间的连续性。库尔提乌斯认为，以往标准的“古典——中世纪——文艺复兴——近代”的文学划分方法，割裂了这几个时期文学的连续性，对于很多文艺复兴时期及后来的欧洲文学，如果我们无法通过惯用语、隐喻、表达方式、主题等阐释它们同中世纪拉丁文学的关系，就不可能充分理解它们。因此，库尔提乌斯将中世纪拉丁文学，视为古代文学与后来各民族文学之间不可或缺的过渡，如此一来，便将从荷马到歌德的欧洲文学整合起来。

库尔提乌斯的《欧洲文学与拉丁中世纪》代表了十九世纪到二十世纪上半叶欧洲历史语言学、文学史和文学批评最优秀的研究成果，是一部在西方学界享有盛誉的学术经典。作者以博洽的学识、丰富的材料，以及对历史脉络的准确把握，展示了欧洲文学从古代到近世的演变，尤其阐明了拉丁中世纪在当中所起的纽带和桥梁作用。这部煌煌巨著现在不仅有了中译本，而且译者参照几种译文，补译了德文本第二版增加的内容，是目前最完全的译本。此书中译本的出版，不仅能加深我们对西方学术研究的了解，而且对提高中国学者的研究水平，也能提供一种典范，给我们以激励和启发。
