Bøker av Charlotte Schwartz

Filling a significant gap in resources and direction available to separating families, this book humanizes the otherwise clinical, impersonal process of negotiating co-parenting terms by reminding parents that while their relationship may have ended, they still have one mutual goal in mind: the health and safety of their kids.

Charlotte Schwartz provides a systematic review of the writings of Freud and Klein in order to debunk the mythology that has surrounded them. Schwartz argues that the claims that Freud negated the object in his theoretical constructs and that it was Klein who originated object theory are without merit.

To examine sexual behavior, especially monogamy, and adultery through the lens of history is especially pertinent for the twentyfirst century. To know the past, to understand that humankind has always been driven by the sexual drive, and how each culture has attempted both to gratify sexual desires and to curb them, demands our attention. We are living in a period of unbridled sexuality, a paradise for sex, that has destabilized our culture, our personal relationships, and a healthy development for our children. Will hook-ups, one-night-stands, and sex without connection become the new norm? Will loneliness and suicide dominate our culture? The author attempts to present sexual behavior from a biological, psycho-logical, and social perspective-an unmoralistic pursuit-but hopefully provocative, so that we may learn from our past and better understand our present.Charlotte Schwartz, MSS, LCSW, is a member of the American Psychoanalytic Association, the International Psychoanalytical Association, the National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis, formerly Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at New York Medical College, and Adjunct Professor at Smith College School for Social Work, as well as at NYU School of Social Work.
