books by Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson     books:       The Cat Who Came in from the Cold: A Fable2 reviews Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson Ballantine Books, 2004 A Cat Shares Its Feelings Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson's Billi engaged me right away and kept me engaged in a wonderful journey into the psyche of one amazingly enticing cat. I have people buying this book for relatives and friends for Christmas and reading it themselves, of course. Everyone can learn something from listening to this wise cat go on its journey from the wilds into society. Some, like me, will fall in ...             The Assault on Truth: Freud's Suppression of the Seduction Theory11 reviews Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson Ballantine Books, 2003 Rebecca Hamilton, Teens for Agnosticism & Social Action A Note on Janet Malcolm: as evidenced in this book, Ms Malcolm actually creates composite quotations and with reference to her interviewing the author prior to initial publication, perhaps for the ensuing monetary gain she knew would thus be open to her, misrepresented (by altering the record of) the dialogue between author-interviewer prior to this book's initial release. Jeffrey Masson filed ...             Why Buffalo Dance: Animal and Wilderness Meditations Through the Seasons4 reviews Susan Chernak McElroy New World Library, 2006 A lovely set of nature appreciations WHY BUFFALO DANCE: ANIMAL AND WILDERNESS MEDITATIONS THROUGH THE SEASONS offers a lovely set of nature appreciations musing on everything from the lessons of eagles in 'The Right Timing' to a Spring celebration in 'The True Nature of Things'. These aren't the one-line meditations you've come to anticipate in such celebrations of life, but thought-provoking essays linking observations of nature ...             LOST PRINCE: The Unsolved Mystery of Kaspar Hauser4 reviews Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson Free Press, 1996 A chapter a day Some books are meant to be page turners. When you buy one of those, you put an extra log on the fire, make some hot chocolate, and read till you fall asleep. That plan of attack will not work with LOST PRINCE. You may as well try to read the complete works of Sigmund Freud in one sitting. Yet LOST PRINCE is as brilliant as it is disturbing. You may stop reading at the end of a chapter, but you ...             The Wind in the Willows (Modern Library Classics)1 review Kenneth Grahame Modern Library, 2005 Delightful, charming, and beautifully written... I read this book for the first time two years ago, and it is one of my all-time favorite books - which I re-read now every spring. I owned this edition. I say "owned" in the past-tense, because I am buying it now... for the third time... to replace yet another copied loaned out and loved too much to be returned to me! This is a delightful story, whether you are a child tucked into bed and ...             Capers in the Churchyard: Animal Rights Advocacy in the Age of Terror10 reviews Lee Hall Nectar Bat Press, 2006 A masterpiece: A Must Read for Animal Advocates Caper's in the Churchyard: Animal Rights in the Age of Terror is an almost masterpiece. I say almost ONLY because the book ended before I was ready; Lee Hall held my wrapt attention from Page 1. Hall's book is so powerful and convincing in its analysis of the modern day animal rights movement that you'd be hard-pressed to find any glaring errors; she takes on the whole movement, and many of ...             The Pig Who Sang to the Moon : The Emotional World of Farm Animals32 reviews JEFFREY MOUSSAIEFF MASSON, 2003 The singing pig makes your heart join in From reading a fair bit of animal rights literature, I grew weary of the typical rhetoric that I've seen repeated over and over again (which I won't get into; if you know it, you know of what I speak, and if you don't, you should go out and see!), much of which I already figured out for myself from talking with people. The Pig who Sang to the Moon gives us an insight into the lives of animals who ...             Final Analysis: The Making and Unmaking of a Psychoanalyst5 reviews Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson Ballantine Books, 2003 EXCELLENT Anyone even remotely associated with analysis, as either a patient, friend of a patient, or an analyst himself, should read this very informative and fascinating book. Clear and well-written, Masson does a wonderful job of exposing the clique of therapists who get rich by deceiving their patients, pretending to care and asserting knowledge they simply don't possess. A very engrossing book ...             The Complete Letters of Sigmund Freud to Wilhelm Fliess, 1887-19041 review Sigmund Freud Belknap Press, 1986 Freud's self-analysis and beyond The Freud-Fliess letters are the very foundations of psychoanalysis as most authors agree that it is possible to recognize what Freud developed later. Basically, through those letters Freud analysed himself and the reader can appreciate the very beginning of the great discoveries that Freud did after that period. In particular, Fliess who was Freud's best friend, shared the same scientific ...             Beauty in the Beasts: True Stories of Animals Who Choose to Do Good13 reviews Kristin Von Kreisler Topeka Bindery, 2002 KEEP ON WRITING SUSAN CHERNAK McELROY!!

Who Ever Says Animals Have No Feelings Has None Themselves! 217 Pages Of Stories That Will BE With You A Very Long Time. One story about a 209- pound potbellied pig who threw herself into traffic to ...             The Nine Emotional Lives of Cats: A Journey Into the Feline Heart35 reviews Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson Ballantine Books, 2004 The Nine Emotional Lives of Cats Delightful and thought-provoking. Animal-human and animal-animal interactions are far deeper than we often give them credit, and this book explores the depth of relationships and feelings, and ways of animal communication. Us humans have a lot to learn. Masson in a previous life was a psychotherapist, and he brings his insights into his relationships with cats, providing us ailurophiles with ...             My Father's Guru: A Journey Through Spirituality and Disillusion11 reviews Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson Pocket, 1998 The triumph of critical thinking is the light in the dark Brilliant autobiography and testimony of a person's freedom from the bondage of spiritual arrogance from his lifelong family guru. Not all gurus are the same. In fact, most mainstream religions have hierarchies to manage a cult of personality even though it can emerge in churches. The fact is ... this man got away from the seduction of false theology and other ramblings to see that critical ...             When Elephants Weep: The Emotional Lives of Animals66 reviews Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, Susan McCarthy Delacorte Press, 1995 Everyone Should Read this Book What a wonderful book! Although I am an admitted 'animal person' I think everyone would (and should) enjoy reading this book for a perspective on life on our planet.             Slipping into Paradise : Why I Live in New Zealand31 reviews Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, 2004 Great Read--Full of Depth I picked up Slip into Paradise in advance of my first trip to New Zealand, later this year (2008), and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was looking for something that was more than the run-of-the-mill guide book or history book (both of which I also acquired and are helpful). I was not disappointed at all with Jeffrey Masson's account of his experiences in New Zealand. This book added a third ...             Dogs Never Lie About Love55 reviews Jeffrey Moussaieff, Illustrated By Jared T Masson Crown Publishers, 1997 Nails it Author really demonstrates his knowledge of an appreciation for the love that dogs give unconditionally and fully. He nails it with insights, evidence, and examples. I don't understand why some people were so critical of this book. Love is the emotion. They love us and we love them. We have much to learn about caring for ourselves, other people, and these wonderful creatures. If you want ...             The Evolution of Fatherhood: A Celebration of Animal and Human Families1 review Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson Ballantine Books, 2004 A Disneyesque view of the world. This book was formerly published as 'The Emperor's Embrace'. Near the end of this book, when faced yet again with infanticide, Masson says 'But it seems that the more we learn, the more our ideals, or in any event our fantasies, about the harmonious life of animals are toppled'. Yet he still holds fast to his ideals and fantasies. With very few examples of fathering in mammals Masson has to ...             Raising the Peaceable Kingdom: What Animals Can Teach Us about the Social Origins of Tolerance and Friendship8 reviews Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson Sound Library, 2005 A unique perspective, valuable insights, and a fun read It's not often that you find these three elements -- uniqueness, insights, and fun -- in the same book, but in Raising the Peaceable Kingdom, you do. Animals can teach us many things we really need to learn, and humans are just beginning to wake up to the idea, helped along by books like this one. Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson is a gifted and inspired writer, and I heartily recommend this book ...             The Emperor's Embrace10 reviews Atria Books, 2004 Thought-provoking and bold While it is true that Masson asserts some claims in this book that are not yet proven at this point, he also states right away that he IS NOT a scientist. He is however, an amazing author and researcher. Every claim he asserts, while perhaps not backed by biology (yet) is followed by several extremely convincing examples. he has wonderful insight and some delightful thoughts and theories on ...             Against Therapy10 reviews Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson Common Courage Press, 1993 "Selling the Brooklyn Bridge" I thought this book should be read by all mental health professionals and the so called accreditation organizations (they don't look in the right places). . . Masson goes directly to asking questions about the power deferential in therapy . . . I could go on with my own observations and experiences within this field, but this is not the place . . . I do, however, believe that both power and ...             Altruistic Armadillos, Zenlike Zebras: A Menagerie of 100 Favorite Animals5 reviews Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson Ballantine Books, 2006 Heartwarming and Informative ALTRUISTIC ARMADILLOS, ZENLIKE ZEBRAS: A Menagerie of 100 Favorite Animals is a dream book for someone who already knows way more than the average person about many animals, is interested in language and naming, and likes to consider what we humans do with and to animals in the name of, well, whatever we want (because we're the boss of them). But there's also a lot of fascinating material for the ...              search for books 1887-1904, advocacy, altruistic, analysis, armadillos, celebration, churchyard, classics, complete, disillusion, elephants, emotional, evolution, families, fatherhood, favorite, friendship, meditations, menagerie, paradise, peaceable, psychoanalyst, seduction, slipping, spirituality, suppression, tolerance, unmaking, unsolved, wilderness books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
