London England: Faber & Faber, 1982. Paperback. Slight wear to cover. Couple of creases to corner back. In this close look at the published plays of Tom Stoppard, Jim Hunter avoids the serial or chronological approach by looking at the qualities and effects which inform the playwright's work as a whole. Individual chapters have such titles as 'Playing', 'Staging', 'Laughing' or 'Caring', and are preceded by a biological summary and followed by a study guide which enables the reader to select the treatment of an individual play and provides other reference material. The book is meant for performers, directors and audiences as well as for student; readers in general will be reminded vividly of the pleasure to be had from the intelligence, humour and theatricality of the plays from Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead to On the Razzle - a pleasure which even at its most serious always includes an element of laughter. 258 pp.(We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.) . 1st Paperback Edition.

In this groundbreaking book, a world authority on human communication and communication therapy points out a basic contradiction in the way therapists use language. Although communications emerging in therapy are ascribed to the mind's unconscious, dark side, they are habitually translated in clinical dialogue into the supposedly therapeutic language of reason and consciousness. But, Dr. Watzlawick argues, it is precisely this bizarre language of the unconscious which holds the key to those realms where alone therapeutic change can take place. Dr. Watzlawick suggests that rather than following the usual procedure of interpreting the patient's communications and thereby translating them into the language of a given psychotherapeutic theory, the therapist must learn the patient's language and make his or her interventions in terms that are congenial to the patient's manner of conceptualizing reality. Only in that way, he shows, can the therapist effectively bring about genuine changes and problem resolutions. Drawing on the work of Milton H. Erickson, he supports his findings with many (and often amusing) examples. This book, then, is a virtual introductory course to the grammar and language of the unconscious.
