From the Publisher:First published in 1952, W. R. D. Fairbairn's Psychoanalytic Studies of the Personality re-orientated psychoanalysis by centering human development on the infant's innate need for relationships, describing the process of splitting and the internal dynamic relationship between ego and object. His elegant theory is still a vital framework of psychoanalytic theory and practice, infant research, group relations and family therapy. This classic collection of papers, available for the first time in paperback, has an introduction by David Scharff and Ellinor Fairbairn Birtles which sets Fairbairn's highly original work in context, provides an overview of object relations theory and traces modern developments, launched by Fairbairn's discoveries.
From the Publisher:
"The Tipping Point contains all the sprightly prose and insight we have come to associate with Malcolm Gladwell's writing. But in addition, Gladwell manages to make sense of a tantalizing array of research findings. The welcome, if overdue, lesson is that, by acting intentionally and strategically, we can lower crime and disease rates, and otherwise bring about dramatic positive changes in our surroundings." (-Lisbeth Schorr, Harvard Project on Effective Interventions, and author of Common Purpose: Strengthening Families and Neighborhoods to Rebuild America
"The Tipping Point is one of those rare books that changes the way you think about, well, everything. A combination of lucid explanation with vivid (and often funny) real-world examples, the book sets out to explain nothing less than why human beings behave the way they do. And, astonishingly, Malcolm Gladwell had the smarts and panache to pull it off." (-Jeffrey Toobin, author of A Vast Conspiracy: The Real Story of the Sex Scandal that Nearly Brought Down a President
"The Primary reason for the historic and rapid declines in crime and disorder in the subways and on the streets of New York City in the early 1990s was police activity. Police focused their activities on controlling illegal behavior to such an extent that they changed that behavior. Malcolm Gladwell's book and its theories, particularly the 'Power of Context,' clearly describes how crime and disorder were rapidly 'tipped.' It is a vital and 'must read' addition to the on-going debate about what really causes crime and disorder and how best to deal with it." —Commissioner William J. Bratton
"Hip and hopeful, The Tipping Point, is like the idea it describes: concise, elegant but packed with social power. A book for anyone who cares about how society works and how we can make it better." —George Stephanopoulos
"What someone once said about the great Edmund Wilson is as true of Malcolm Gladwell: he gives ideas the quality of action. Here he's written a wonderful page turner about a fascinating idea that should effect the way every thinking person thinks about the world around him." —Michael Lewis Author of Liar's Poker and The New New Thing
From the Publisher:Long the most infamous street in America, in recent years Forty-second Street has been remade into a sanitized tourist haven. In the forced disappearance of peep shows and street hustlers to make room for a Disney store, a children's theater, and large, neon-lit cafes, Samuel R. Delany sees a disappearance, not only of the old Times Square, but of the complex social relationships that developed there.Times Square Red, Times Square Blue paints a portrait of a society dismantling the institutions that promote communication between classes and disguising its fears of cross-class contact as "family values."
