Описание: A guide to understanding the origins of codependence and the path to recovery. It traces the origins of this illness back to childhood, describing a range of emotional, spiritual, intellectual, physical, and sexual abuses.
Описание: 1. Cross-cultural comparison of love concepts and their cultural connotations
Several types of love are to be distinguished for adequate cross-cultural comparison of love. Passion is a salient feature of romantic love, but not the only one. Romantic love engages strong affection and preoccupation with love, idealistic attitude toward a partner and relationship. Is romantic love universal across cultures? Some scholars once believed that romantic love is a Western concept that was not indigenously present in other cultures and was brought by Western civilizations. However, the research findings of recent decades convinced that romantic love - at least passionate love - is a universal phenomenon with its various occurrences in many cultures. Cross-culturally, conceptions of passionate love appear to be surprisingly similar, yet with evident culturally specific definitions of romantic love. Culture is what transforms passionate love into romantic love. Cultural values and traditional behaviors influence the expressions and experiences of love and transfer passionate love as primarily based on a sexual attraction into romantic love as idealized and culturally affected way of loving. Theoretical background and interdisciplinary approach to the concept of romantic love will be set up in this chapter.
2. Evolutional or cultural?
This chapter compares an evolutional approach to study of love with a cultural one. Evolutionary psychologists contend that passionate love is innate in human nature and is based on biological processes that are universal, applying to people of all cultures. Neuroscience provides strong evidence of this. Does culture still matter? Biology and culture interact generating a complex nature of love. Passion is universal and based on biological principles of sexual selection, while romance is culturally specific and based on historical and cultural traditions.
3. Love experiences and love expressions: Cross-cultural comparison
Multiple studies convince that love is a universal human emotion that can be experienced and expressed in multiple cultural forms. The world's cultures differ in several cross-culturally related concepts: collectivism or individualism, independence or interdependence, modernism or traditionalism, urbanism or ruralism, affluence or poverty. The studies show that these factors affect the cultural differences in experience and expression of romantic love. What about expressions of love? Does a passionate and energetic Latin lover love more intensely than a quiet and reserved Nordic lover? Or do they just express their emotions differently? American culture, for example, stresses the importance of verbal expression of love to another. However, straight expression of love is not always necessary because some things can be implicitly interpreted and understood without words. In Filipino families, for example, the verbal expression of love is much more reserved for special occasions. They do not find it essential to express love in overt ways because it can be construed as excessive and showy. The chapter will present a variety of research findings supporting the diverse expressions of love.
4. Cultural factors affecting romantic attraction, development, maintenance, and dissolution of love
This chapter will review cultural factors influencing interpersonal attraction (including personality, context, and values) and cultural mediators of attraction, development, maintenance, and dissolution of a romantic relationship (including issues of intimacy, fidelity/infidelity, poaching, and jealousy). How culture affects relations between love, sex, and marriage? Romantic love is the form of love that is most salient in public view. It has different subcategories; some of them are related to sexual love. Sexuality a

Описание: This ambitious volume integrates findings from various disciplines in a comprehensive description of the modern research on love and provides a systematic review of love experience and expression from cross-cultural perspective. It explores numerous interdisciplinary topics, bringing together research in biological and social sciences to explore love, probing the cross-cultural similarities and differences in the feelings, thoughts, and expressions of love. The book’s scope, which includes a review of major theories and key research instruments, provides a comprehensive background for any reader interested in developing an enlightened understanding of the cultural diversity in the concepts, experience, and expression of love. Included among the chapters:How do people in different cultures conceptualize love?How similar and different are the experiences and expressions of love across cultures?What are the cultural factors affecting the experience and expression of love?Cross-cultural understanding of love as passion, joy, commitment, union, respect, submission, intimacy, dependency, and more.A review of the past and looking into the future of cross-cultural love research.Critical reading for our global age, Cross-Cultural Perspectives on the Experience and Expression of Love promotes a thorough understanding of cross-cultural similarities and differences in love, and in so doing is valuable not only for love scholars, emotion researchers, and social psychologists, but also for practitioners and clinicians working with multicultural couples and families. “The most striking feature of this book is the broad array of perspectives that is covered. Love is portrayed as a universally found emotion with biological underpinnings. The text expands from this core, incorporating a wide range of manifestations of love: passion, admiration of and submission to a partner, gift giving and benevolence, attachment and trust, etc. Information on each topic comes from a variety of sources, cross-culturally and interdisciplinary. The text is integrative with a focus on informational value of ideas and findings. If you take an interest in how love in its broadest sense is experienced and expressed, you will find this to be a very rich text.” Ype H. Poortinga, Tilburg University, The Netherlands & Catholic University of Leuven, Leuven, Belgium“In this wide-ranging book, Victor Karandashev expertly guides us through the dazzling complexity of our concept and experience of love. Not only does he show the many different ingredients that make up our conceptions of love in particular cultures, such as idealization of the beloved, commitment, union, intimacy, friendship, and others, he draws our attention to the bewildering array of differences between their applications in different cultural contexts, or to their presence or absence in a culture. In reading the book, we also get as a bonus an idea of how an elusive concept such as love can be scientifically studied by a variety of methodologies – all to our benefit. A masterful accomplishment.”K?vecses Zolt?n, E?tv?s Lor?nd University, Budapest, Hungary“Long considered a research purview of only a portion of the world’s cultures, we know today that love is universal albeit with many cultural differences in meaning, form, and expression. Moreover, love has a rich history of scholarship across multiple disciplines. Within this backdrop, Karandashev has compiled a remarkably comprehensive global review of how people experience and express their emotions in love. Covering the topic from a truly international and interdisciplinary perspective, this book is an indispensable source of knowledge

Описание:
"This is a really cool book. Virtue meets theology meets neuroscience meets personal growth. As one makes the journey through the book, one learns how fundamental dispositions that lead to a life living the fruit of the Spirit are made possible by this remarkable brain of ours. With exercises at the end of each chapter, this is a book that can be truly transformative. You will not simply know more about yourself, you will be more fully the self that God intended."
The Very Rev. Ian S. Markham, PhD
Dean and President of Virginia Theological Seminary and Professor of Theology and Ethics
"I recommend this fascinating book to all who agree with St. Ignatius-'Our one desire and our one choice should be this: we want and we choose whatever will allow God's life to be deepened in us.' Bryan Spoon has crafted a beautiful integration of neuroscience, the study of emotions, and Christian Scripture and teaching. I will surely use these ideas not only for my own growth but also to enrich adult formation classes."

"Neuroscience and the Fruit of Spirit is a sure guide for understanding the physiological basis for spirituality and ethical behavior. Drawing from his own experience as an Episcopal priest and hospital chaplain, Bryan Spoon offers a dialogue between modern neuroscience and the Bible to reveal the physiological changes that occur when life is centered on love, joy, peace and other fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). He expertly shows how our spiritual practices can literally reshape the brain and lead us to health and wholeness. I strongly recommend this work for both individual and group study."
