Blog: https://psychreviews.org/fear-of-success/ One of the ancient pressures mankind faces, and all animals face, is the pressure to succeed. Originally it was just the ability to feed oneself, protect loved ones, and to procreate. In modern times, this pressure is still omnipresent, even if technology has relieved many past labor activities that led to more wear and tear and shorter lifespans. But like Kurt Cobain's Something In The Way modern life still has plenty of obstacles, and regardless of the age we live in, those obstacles are often people and the difficulty of finding a respected place in society. These obstacles start in childhood and then can build into a personality crossroads where some people thirst for challenges but many others loathe them.

Blog: https://psychreviews.org/object-relations-melanie-klein-pt-4/ Because Melanie Klein's method of psychoanalysis is full of insight, but not altogether systematic, she felt it would be good to provide a case study example to show how interpretations could affect children and change their style of play and show some therapeutic value.

Blog: http://psychreviews.org/the-discovery-of-the-unconscious/ This is part of a book review series on early psychology that starts with Henri Ellenberger's The Discovery of the Unconscious. This book spans the Paleolithic up to the 20th century. One of the great things about this book is how it highlights some of more unsung heros who advanced the understanding of the unconscious, including the Marquis de Puységur and Pierre Janet. It also covers the main period of psychoanalysis including Sigmund Freud, Alfred Adler, and Carl Jung. There are large sections devoted to biography and the methods of the psychologist or shaman. Methods included are disease-object extraction, soul retrieval, exorcism, animal magnetism, and psychoanalysis. It's available in paperback and hardcover.
