This volume argues that Titus’s invocation of Crete affected the ways early readers developed their identities. Using archaeological data, classical writings, and early Christian documents, he describes multiple traditions that circulated on Crete and throughout the Roman Empire concerning Cretan Zeus, Cretan social structure, and Cretan Judaism. He then uses these traditions to interpret Titus and explain how the letter would intersect with and affect readers’ identities. Because readers had differing conceptions of Crete based on their location and access to and evaluation of Cretan traditions, readers would have developed their identities in multiple, conflictual, even contradictory ways.

La psychothérapie interpersonnelle (PTI) est une psychothérapie de courte durée fondée sur la théorie de l’attachement. Partant de l’idée que la détresse interpersonnelle a un lien étroit avec les symptômes psychiatriques et la souffrance psychologique générale, elle a pour objectif d’aider les patients à optimiser leurs relations et à faire appel au soutien affectif et pratique dont ils ont besoin pour mieux gérer leur détresse. Elle est particulièrement adaptée pour le traitement des dépressions du post-partum. La PTI se distingue ainsi des traitements cognitivo-comportementaux (TCC), centrés principalement sur les schémas cognitifs du patient, et des thérapies psychanalytiques où l’intérêt est avant tout porté sur les origines précoces du fonctionnement psychique. En effet, la PTI se concentre avant tout sur les interactions de l’individu avec les autres, à tous les niveaux de son réseau social. Elle se propose d’aider le patient à améliorer sa communication et son soutien social dans le présent. Ce guide méthodologique et clinique rend la psychothérapie interpersonnelle accessible aux professionnels désireux de la pratiquer.

Despite his protests, Anne Gilchrist, distinguished woman of letters, moved her entire household from London to Philadelphia in an effort to marry him. John Addington Symonds, historian and theorist of sexual inversion, sent him avid fan mail for twenty years. And volunteer assistant Horace Traubel kept a record of their daily conversations, producing a nine-volume compilation. Who could inspire so much devotion? Worshipping Walt is the first book on the Whitman disciples--the fascinating, eclectic group of nineteenth-century men and women who regarded Walt Whitman not simply as a poet but as a religious prophet. Long before Whitman was established in the canon of American poetry, feminists, socialists, spiritual seekers, and supporters of same-sex passion saw him as an enlightened figure who fulfilled their religious, political, and erotic yearnings. To his disciples Whitman was variously an ideal husband, radical lover, socialist icon, or bohemian saint. In this transatlantic group biography, Michael Robertson explores the highly charged connections between Whitman and his followers, including Canadian psychiatrist R. M. Bucke, American nature writer John Burroughs, British activist Edward Carpenter, and the notorious Oscar Wilde. Despite their particular needs, they all viewed Whitman as the author of a new poetic scripture and prophet of a modern liberal spirituality. Worshipping Walt presents a colorful portrait of an era of intense religious, political, and sexual passions, shedding new light on why Whitman''s work continues to appeal to so many.

The Last Utopians delves into the biographies of four key figures--Edward Bellamy, William Morris, Edward Carpenter, and Charlotte Perkins Gilman--who lived during an extraordinary period of literary and social experimentation. The publication of Bellamy''s Looking Backward in 1888 opened the floodgates of an unprecedented wave of utopian writing. Morris, the Arts and Crafts pioneer, was a committed socialist whose News from Nowhere envisions a workers'' Arcadia. Carpenter boldly argued that homosexuals constitute a utopian vanguard. Gilman, a women''s rights activist and the author of "The Yellow Wallpaper," wrote numerous utopian fictions, including Herland, a visionary tale of an all-female society. These writers, Robertson shows, shared a belief in radical equality, imagining an end to class and gender hierarchies and envisioning new forms of familial and romantic relationships. They held liberal religious beliefs about a universal spirit uniting humanity. They believed in social transformation through nonviolent means and were committed to living a simple life rooted in a restored natural world. And their legacy remains with us today, as Robertson describes in entertaining firsthand accounts of contemporary utopianism, ranging from Occupy Wall Street to a Radical Faerie retreat.
