This volume provides an integrative theory firmly grounded in current psychology of the self, and offers a fresh, compelling account of one of psychology's most enigmatic behavior patterns. Professor Baumeister provides comprehensive coverage of historical and cross-cultural theories and empirical data on masochism and presents recent, original data drawn from a large data set of anonymous masochistic scripts of fantasies and favorite experiences. Drawn from the latest social psychological research and theories, Professor Baumeister returns the emphasis to the original and proto-typical form of masochism -- sexual masochism - - and explains these phenomena as a means of releasing the individual from the burden of self-awareness. It is the first volume to present a psychological theory compatible with the mounting evidence that most masochists are not mentally ill nor does masochism derives from sadism. Instead, Professor Baumeister finds that masochism emerges as an escapist response to the problematic nature of selfhood and he attempts to foster an understanding of sexual masochism that emphasizes both "escape from self" and "construction of meaning" hypotheses. The book is directed at all those interested in the self and identity in paradoxical behavior patterns and in the construction of meaning, presenting specific clinical recommendations.

How does the male masochist provide a metaphor for modern and postmodern power? Present orthodoxy understands masculine power as invested in unity, identity, presence and technology. In this provocative work, however, Mansfield challenges our fundamental assumptions about masculine power in the postmodern era. Utilizing representations of masochism in literature, psychopathology, philosophy and cultural theory, the author argues that masculine power can now best be understood as masochistic.

The French Philosopher and political theorist Jean Jacques Rosseau has been remembered as one of the most eloquent writers of the Age of Enlightenment. His treatises inspired the leaders of the French Revolution and his exaltation of the natural world had a profound impact on the popular culture of the day, giving rise to the Romantic generation.Yet, there was a dark side to Rousseau's character, and in this intimate and absorbing account of his life, author Jaromir Janata sheds light on the psychological disorder that was a driving force behind his radical ideologies.Through the examination of Rousseau's life from a modern psychoanalytical perspective, it has been deemed that Rousseau was a sexual masochist.In this thorough biography of his life, Dr. Janata further reveals that Rosseau was also a moral masochist, thriving on the heated public furor caused by his revolutionary concepts of society.Masochism takes a two-prong approach to illuminating the life of this extraordinary man. First, we come to recognize Rousseau's contributions to the Humanities through a fascinating chronicle of his life and times. Then Dr. Janata draws an intricately detailed psychological portrait from a clinical viewpoint.By studying this colorful sensualist, we find a profound message in Rousseau's life. Through understanding the deepest meanings of his psychic disturbance, we gain important insights that can be applied to the psychological maladies of contemporary society.

Menaker traces the historical and social factors that lead to different psychological problems, and emphasizes growth and the optimal fulfillment of an individual's potentiality, rather than the elimination of symptoms as constituting "cure." Her shift from classical instinct theory as the primary explanation of human behavior to what Kohut termed the empathic stance as a legitimate method of observation is clearly illustrated with clinical material. Organized in sections that reflect Dr. Menaker's major areas of interest, and written from the vantage point of more than sixty years of experience as a psychoanalyst and gifted teacher, this volume focuses on self psychology, masochism, women's issues, and the history of psychoanalysis. The book concludes with an interview with Dr.
