La importante experiencia personal y profesional del Dr. Castillo está en sintonía con la idea junguiana de que los sueños son expresiones de la naturaleza y por tanto deben entenderse e interpretarse como tales. La realidad onírica no oculta o distorsiona ciertos contenidos que provienen de lo inconsciente, sino que habla con su propio lenguaje, el lenguaje de las imágenes (Dr. Theodor Abt). Otra de las características fundamentales de este trabajo es la descripción de los diferentes marcos interpretativos que se dan en la práctica psicoterapéutica del análisis de los sueños. La experiencia del Dr. Castillo en el análisis freudiano, reichiano y junguiano le permite tener una visión profunda de los diversos mapas analíticos y realizar una descripción clara, organizada y sistemática de sus diferentes formas de interpretación, que será de gran ayuda para todo aquel que desee ahondar en este apasionante mundo de la interpretación onírica (Dr. Antonio Sanfeliu).

The past ten years have seen an explosion of useful research surrounding human motivation and emotion; new insights allow researchers to answer the perennial questions, including "What do people want?" and "Why do they want what they want?" By delving into the roots of motivation, the emotional processes at work, and the impacts on learning, performance, and well-being, this book provides a toolbox of practical interventions and approaches for use in a wide variety of settings. In the midst of the field's "golden age," there has never been a better time to merge new understanding and practical application to improve people’s lives. Useful in schools, the workplace, clinical settings, health care, sports, industry, business, and even interpersonal relationships, these concepts are profoundly powerful; incorporated into the state-of-the-art intervention programs detailed here, they can enhance people's motivation, emotion, and outlook while answering the core questions of any human interaction.

William James and the Transatlantic Conversation focuses on the American philosopher and psychologist William James (1842-1910) and his engagements with European thought, together with the multidisciplinary reception of his work on both sides of the Atlantic since his death. James's encounters with European thinkers and ideas ran throughout his early life and across his distinguished international career, in which he participated in a number of transatlantic conversations in science, philosophy, psychology, religion, ethics, and literature. This volume explores and extends these conversations by drawing together twelve scholars from a range of disciplines on both sides of the Atlantic to assess James's work in all its variety, to trace his multidisciplinary reception across the twentieth century, and to evaluate his legacy in the twenty-first century. The first half of the book considers James's many intellectual influences and the second half focuses on A Pluralistic Universe (1909), the published text of his 1908 Hibbert Lectures at Oxford University, as a key text for assessing James's transatlantic conversations. The pluralistic transatlantic currents addressed in the first part of the volume enable a fuller understanding of James's philosophy of pluralism that forms the explicit focus for the second part. Taken as a collection, the volume is unique in scholarship on James in generating transatlantic, interdisciplinary, and cross-generational dialogues, and it repositions James as an important international thinker and arguably the most distinctive American intellectual figure of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
