Sigmund Freud and Hypnosis: The Interaction of Psychoanalysis & Hypnosis
by: Kline, Milton

Hardcover. NY, Julian Press, 1st, 1958, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, 207 pages. Black cloth with gilt lettering on spine, decorative device on front cover. According to his biographers, Freud was not comfortable in making hand passes and touching the subject, which were the (limited) techniques available at the end of the 19th century. Freud studied with Charcot and Bernheim (the two schools of thought which conflicted with each other), but later gave hypnosis up in favor of his free association technique. This book begins by discussing the reasons Freud did that. It states that Freud at the end of life regretting not using hypnosis more. His followers balked at hypnosis, erroneously believing the cures were temporary since the ego was being bypassed (and their theoretical beliefs required the ego to be the agent). But this book reveals that Freud did not abandon hypnosis for the reasons commonly thought, and so it is essential reading for all students of Freud. The second part of the book goes into commentary on hypnosis in theory and practice. Small ink doodle to front fly leaf, otherwise clean.

Sinful Tunes and Spirituals: Black Folk Music to the Civil War Music in American Life
by: Dena J. Epstein

Softcover. Urbana IL, University of Illinois Press, reprint, 2003, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 433 pages. From the plaintive tunes of woe sung by exiled kings and queens of Africa to the spirited worksongs and "shouts" of freedmen, enslaved people created expansive forms of music from the United States to the West Indies and South America. Dena J. Epstein's classic work traces the course of early black folk music in all its guises. Anchored by groundbreaking scholarship, it redefined the study of black music in the slavery era by presenting the little-known development of black folk music in the United States. Her findings include the use of drums, the banjo, and other instruments originating in Africa; a wealth of eyewitness accounts and illustrations; in-depth look at a wide range of topics; and a collection of musical examples. This edition offers an author's preface that looks back on the twenty-five years of changes in scholarship that followed the book's original publication. Clean copy.

Sixties Fashion: From Less is More to Youthquake

Hardcover. London, Thames & Hudson, 1st, 2013, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, 208 pages. Hardcover with dust jacket. Clean, unmarked copy with only minor wear to dust jacket. Color and black and white pictures throughout. In the 1960s, fashion changed dramatically. At the end of the 1950s, Yves Saint Laurent was starting to look for new ways to define the female form; by the 1970s, styles, markets, materials, demographics, inspirations, and the very definition of fashion had been utterly transformed. Richly illustrated with contemporary imagery, including fashion shots, advertising, and magazine features, this is an essential sourcebook. The story begins with the new internationalism that changed the fashion landscape as New York, San Francisco, Florence, London, Madrid, Rome, and Hong Kong challenged the dominance of Paris haute couture. 306 illustrations, 176 in color.
