The Shield of Achilles
The Shield of Achilles
The Shield of Achilles
Back in print for the first time in decades, Auden’s National Book Award–winning poetry collection, in a critical edition that introduces it to a new generation of readers The Shield of Achilles , which won the National Book Award in 1956, may well be W. H. Auden’s most important, intricately designed, and unified book of poetry. In addition to its famous title poem, which reimagines Achilles’s shield for the modern age, when war and heroism have…

Notes from the Editors
One of the main goals of our editorial team when we became editors of the American Political Science Review was to increase the substantive , methodological , and representational diversity of the APSR while continuing to publish excellent work. As we explained in our 2019 Vision Statement, we seek to broaden the range of research topics that are published in the journal and to diversify the subfields, geographic foci, and methodological approach…
Testing Negative
Responding to COVID-19, governments implemented large-scale economic and social policies of unprecedented scale. This highlighted the state's capacity to guarantee economic and health security, and affected demographic groups that are less commonly beneficiaries of state support. We hypothesise that exposure to the pandemic and these policy responses caused change in attitudes to the role of government in the economy and redistribution. We test t…
A Theology of Reading
If the whole of the Christian life is to be governed by the "law of love"—the twofold love of God and one's neighbor—what might it mean to read lovingly? That is the question that drives this unique book. Through theological reflection interspersed with readings of literary texts (Shakespeare and Cervantes, Nabokov and Nicholson Baker, George Eliot and W. H. Auden and Dickens), Jacobs pursues an elusive quarry: the charitable reader.

Contexts and Obstacles
The Year of Our Lord 1943
"By early 1943, it had become increasingly clear that the Allies would win the Second World War. Around the same time, it also became increasingly clear to many Christian intellectuals on both sides of the Atlantic that the soon-to-be-victorious nations were not culturally or morally prepared for their success. A war won by technological superiority merely laid the groundwork for a post-war society governed by technocrats. These Christian intelle…

A Theology Of Reading
Psychic Organs, Ego States, and Visual Metaphors
This article offers a three-dimensional, developmental visual model to expand the traditional Bernian three-circle ego-state diagram. It proposes that ego states grow from the inside out: Child, Parent, and Adult respectively. It raises questions motivated by a constructivist perspective, presented in the transactional analysis literature by Allen and Allen (1991, 1995) and Loria (1991a, 1991b). Finally, it explores the language of visual symbol …
What Became of Wystan? Change and Continuity in Auden's Poetry
In this lucid and balanced treatise, Alan Jacobs reveals the true parameters of Auden's change after the poet's move to America in 1939. By carefully examining poems that represent transitional moments in Auden's thinking, Jacobs identifies the points at which the tectonic plates of the poet's intellect clashed and the buckles and rifts created in Auden's work. Surveying Auden's growth over time, Jacobs explores the idea of personal and moral cha…
Seeing Difference
The comparative literature on health care reform has identified a convergence upon market models as nations respond to similar economic, technological, social, and demographic pressures. In this article I first challenge the conventional view by comparing “market” reforms of the late 1980s and early 1990s in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Sweden. Though these nations did indeed converge upon the instrument of the market incentive, there…
Berne's Life Positions
This article reviews some of the major ideas about life positions and their origins and then discusses a recent exchange about them. The disagreements are classified as deriving from confusion between observation of behavior and moral rules. Proposing a refinement of existential position diagnosis, a calibration of the OK Corral (Ernst, 1971) is suggested

Strength without Justice
This article reviews the influence of Berne, Steiner, Karpman, English, and Massey on the development of the author's work. It applies Karpman's (1968) drama triangle to the analysis of large social systems, discusses individual dynamics related to the phenomenon of stalking, and evolves into a discussion of some general characteristics of terrorists and dictators
Letter from the Guest Editor
And Then There was
The author reviews his life as a therapist: first jobs, later work, and major influences, personal and theoretical. He talks briefly about his childhood, parents, sports, and art
Theory as Ideology
This article suggests that the potential for the misuse or abuse of power lies not only in the personalities of individuals who are in positions of power, but also in the theories on which they base their behavior. The concepts of symbiotic transference and thought reform are described in relation to the theory and practice of psychotherapy, and these ideas are then applied to an examination of the school of transactional analysis known as “repar…
Autocracy
This article posits a relationship between individual action and group action, between individual psychological structure and collective social function. It further asserts that awareness of this relationship can be used to explain historical events related to autocracy, dictatorship, and totalitarianism. The author suggests that there is a continuous relationship and synergy between individual and group dynamics which can be analyzed transaction…
Aspects of Survival
This article describes the universal (beyond nation, philosophy of life, and leader) reasons for the German Holocaust, specifically, the relationship between the atrocious Ideological/Enslaving Master and his or her Followers. Two script payoffs for this kind of Master are described: a moment of triumph over death and a moment of onliness, or ultimate aloneness, achieved through the deaths of many other people. The exaggeration and joining of the…
Nationalism
Nationalism is defined as thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and beliefs characterized by national or subgroup consciousness. Child ego state distortion of fact and Parent injunctions with resulting Adult contamination or exclusion is offered as an explanation for Masters "creating" and holding Followers. A symbiotic process is postulated from which nationalistic obsessions, unstable loyalties, and indifference to reality follow. A description of deg…

College Faculty's Attitudes toward its Union under Conditions of Adversity
A survey was conducted among unionized faculty in a northeastern college which previously had two strikes before concluding collective bargaining agreements. The respondents were aware that a ruling was imminent on the college's application to the National Labor Relations Board claiming that the faculty was management, as per the Yeshiva University decision. Also, the respondents were concerned because several of their colleagues were terminated …
Autocratic Power
Autocratic power relationships are discussed from a dyadic perspective, and aspects of symbiotic interaction are extended to include a social-psychological view. An historical perspective and present-day examples are analyzed in transactional terms. Questions are raised about the social medium that allows autocratic development. Types (Master, Follower, Bystander) and Roles (Slaves, Object of Evil, Resister) are delineated
The Ascetic Imperative in Culture and Criticism
In this bold interdisciplinary work, Geoffrey Galt Harpham argues that asceticism has played a major role in shaping Western ideas of body, writing, ethics, and aesthetics. He suggests that we consider ascetic as the 'cultural' element in culture, and presents a close analysis of works by Athanasius, Augustine, Matthias, Grunewald, Nietzsche, Foucault, and other thinkers as proof of extent of asceticism's resources. Harpham demonstrates usefulnes…
