Changes on the Home Front
If you are going to work and have a family and have a life, then something has to give in every area of your existence, not just at work. It doesn’t make sense to cut back your work to 60 percent and still try to manage your home life at 100 percent. The whole point […]

bands’ revisions may in fact cancel each other out depending on who does more of such ‘revising’ of preferences.[98] In the next sections I focus on the cases of three couples that show how ‘unmet need’ can be masked or overstated.[99] Nana and Nortey: When ‘unmet need’ is not really unmet need Nana is a […]
SOCIAL IMPACT OF THE SEXOLOGICAL MODEL

Socialising Narcissus via the Case of ‘Little Hans’
In his work of 1921 ‘Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego’, Freud, not uncharacteristically, deploys an animal metaphor to describe the form of narcissism. Arthur Schopenhauer’s ‘company of porcupines’ crowding themselves close together ‘one cold winter’s day’ proves an apt image for describing the dynamics of group identification. As soon as the porcupines […]
