It is assumed that the central factor in determining the character s psychological dynamic is the reaction to damaging events and an attempt to escape psychological traumas: the recreation of individual integrity is possible through psychodrama, which reenacts the traumatic experience within a safe environment. This analysis is based on the statutes of Carl Gustav Jung's psychoanalytic theory. The main characters in these novels experience physical and psychological, individual and collective, childhood and historic traumas.

A thousand-year treaty has maintained the balance of power, and the two sides coexist in an uneasy truce. ![]() Living among us are the "Others," an ancient race of humans with supernatural powers who swear allegiance to either the Dark or the Light. Set in modern day Moscow, Night Watch is a world as elaborate and imaginative as Tolkien or the best Asimov. Interest in the books here is now set to reach a fever pitch. In 2005 Fox Searchlight announced it had acquired the Russian film adaptation for an American release.

But when Rhys Penhallow finally reappears for the annual fall festival in Graves Glen, Georgia, home to both witches and ordinary people, Vivi begins to sense that her breakup hex might have worked a little too well. Given that it had been a spell performed after copious amounts of vodka, she hadn't placed much stock in its success. Nine years ago, Vivienne Jones decided to get over the boy who'd dumped her in the only way she knew how: by putting a curse on him. A small-town witch is forced to make magic with the man who broke her heart when his return sets a series of supernatural disasters in motion. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() You can listen to our entire conversation in a special edition of my Recode Media podcast the following interview has been excerpted from that conversation: Peter Kafka But Vance, whose portrait of Musk was a generally admiring one, says he thinks Musk has changed in recent years, and not necessarily for the better. In Vance’s telling, you can see a lot of the elements of the Musk on display today: ambitious, stubborn, and willing to make bets that seem like terrible ideas to any normal human. ![]() To find out, I asked a man who’s spent years paying close attention to Musk: Ashlee Vance, the veteran Bloomberg reporter who talked to Musk and hundreds of people in his orbit for his 2015 book Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future. So what’s different about Twitter than the rest of Musk’s history as a businessman - or is there any difference at all? But here it seems like he has no idea what he was doing, starting with his on-off-on approach to buying the thing for $44 billion in the first place. The chaos is also, quite frankly, confusing: No matter what you want to say about Musk, he’s been successful multiple times in his career. But even if you thought the world’s richest man and Twitter’s most high-profile user would stumble once he owned his favorite messaging service, the scale of the chaos seems staggering. It was easy to predict that Elon Musk’s first few weeks as Twitter’s owner would be a mess. ![]() ![]() ![]() On Coruscant, we meet down-on-his-luck information broker Lorn Pavan, and his protocol droid “business partner” I-Five. The Neimoidians, however, engage a bounty hunter to attempt to reel the wayward Monchar back in, and so we begin the manhunt. ![]() The problem that arises here is that Gunray’s deputy viceroy, Hath Monchar, has gone missing, clearly with the idea of selling the information about the impending blockade to the highest bidder, so Sidious sends his murderous apprentice to kill him. Darth Sidious has positioned Nute Gunray and his Neinoidian brethren at the head of the Trade Federation and, in retaliation for the Republic’s taxation of the Free Trade Zones, has told them to blockade Naboo, whose Senator Palpatine was one of the biggest supporters of taxation.

After the great War - the great crossover! This compendium captures all the branching fables that intersect our heroes' stories - from Jack of Fables and The Literals, to the classic short story Werewolves of the Heartland.
