MARGARET
MAHLER: A Biography of the Psychoanalyst
Margaret Mahler was from a young age intrigued by the theories
of Sigmund Freud and Hungarian psychoanalysts such as Sandor
Ferenzci, with whom she became acquainted while a
student in Budapest. Forced to flee Europe and rising anti-Semitism, Margaret
and her husband, Paul, came to the United States in 1938. It was after this
move that Mahler performed her most significant research and developed
concepts such as the ground-breaking theory of separation-individuation, an
idea which was given credence by Mahler's own relationship with her father.
This volume details the life and work of Margaret Mahler focusing on her
life's ambition--her psychoanalytical work. Her experiences with the
Philadelphia Institute and her definitive research through the Masters
Children's Clinic are also discussed.

Paragon House is proud to announce a brilliant new anthology reaching into
the depths of human nature, Tales of Psychology: Short Stories to Make You
Wise, by Psychoanalyst Alma Halbert Bond.
A story that breathes life is incapable of death. It reverberates; it haunts
and disturbs the reader. Tales of Psychology belongs to this select genre. It
contains all the excellent qualities, "extraordinary observations,
insightful remarks, moving passages and wonderful lessons "necessary to
make one be both attendant and gentle with life." G. Marudhan,
Critique Magazine
Tales of Psychology: Short Stories to Make You Wise is a stunning collection
of short stories by both award winning and unknown authors that ranges from
the most exalted in human character to the most depraved. Dr. Bond combines
this collection with her astute psychological explanations of the meaning
behind each story. Warren Thurston, owner of Boggle Books, writes, To read
the book is to take a tour of a psychological gallery, with Doctor Bond orchestrating
what the reader will see next. Her choice of stories brings forth images too
powerful to ignore. Primeval urges that shake the reader from their normal
state, taking them on a journey to a world hidden deep within their
consciousness. This book will indeed provide many hours of reading pleasure.
These stories bring to light truths of human nature through fine writing.
From alcoholism to defense mechanisms and mental retardation, Tales of
Psychology presents life-changing literature. You will recognize different
aspects of yourself and those around you within the pages of this collection.
Tales of Psychology is a subtle and rich collection that will lead you into
the heart of thought and beyond. It is the perfect volume for everyone from
students and professionals to those with curious minds and is also highly
recommended to teachers and professors of psychology for an original and
elegant method of teaching in the classroom.
The following is a sampling of stories housed within Tales of Psychology: A
Small, Good Thing, by Raymond Carver, The Middle Years, by Henry James,
Silent Snow, Secret Snow, by Conrad Aiken, The Region of Ice, by Joyce Carol
Oates, Paul's Case, by Willa Cather, and My Apology, by Woody Allen. Each

great writers.

was already 42 years old and had gone through If as a clinician
and in her work with children Mahler was attuned and sensitive, in her
personal relationships she was often rough and at times even cruel. Alma
Bond described her as a “strange lady, hot and cold” and added that “her
favorite poem was about ice and fire.” Writing the biographies of complex
and difficult personalities such as Mahler’s can be tricky. Delving on a
person’s life can at times run the risk of turning into a “pathography.” Scandalous revelations such as the fact
that she had a sexual relationship with one of her analyst or the exposure
of her paranoid tendencies which eventually led to a hospitalization are
the stuff of biographies and drawing the line between relevance and gossip
is not necessarily self evident. After working on her book for four years
Alma was confronted by an unexpected problem. She had gathered information
from many analysts who knew Mahler personally and were able to contribute a
great deal of first hand information, however many recoiled from giving her
the authorization to publish their names because of the often negative
nature of their account of Mahler. As a result Alma had to “go back and
rewrite the book.” She expressed her frustration stating “I was furious
because I thought Alma Bond conveyed very clearly how much she
loves what she does. She described her writing |
