This groundbreaking book in theoretical and empirical phraseology research looks at Europe's linguistic situation as a whole, including 74 European and 17 non-European languages. The occurrence of idioms that actually share the same lexical and semantic structure across a large number of languages has never been demonstrated so clearly before Widespread Idioms in Europe and Beyond. This book answers significant questions regarding hitherto vague ideas about the phraseological similarities between European languages and their cultural foundation, ranging from intertextuality, aspects of European mental, material, and social culture, to culturally based perception of natural phenomena. This inventory, which analyzes 190 out of a total of 380 widespread idioms and includes maps, is valuable for academic teaching and further research in the fields of phraseology and figurative language, areal and contact linguistics, and European cultural studies.

This book invites the reader to re-examine some of the basic concepts underlying the practice of dynamic psychotherapy. Using emotion theory, attachment theory, and memory research, Sandler explains why psychotherapy works and why it sometimes fails. Traditionally, dynamic therapy has focused on negative memories of disturbing events and relationships. Sandler explores this important aspect of therapy, but he also adds a new systematic approach to working with positive memories of early attachment experiences. He uses thought-provoking case examples to illustrate important points. The result of this new approach is a psychological reunion with early attachment figures and a greater capacity for affect regulation. Book jacket.
