Book Description
Our identity is an indication of how we feel about ourselves and how others feel about us; it is an important part of our existence. Our psyche is like a mirror trying to re?ect the world around us, but what we are seeing in our mirror is not an exact replica of our surroundings. In Sailors Psychology, author Dr. Chester Litvin explores a host of issues relating to human psychology and existence. Drawing on cultural insight, Litvin, a psychotherapist, uses a sailors analogy to discuss the human voyage to ?nd the selfto know who we are and accept it. Sailors Psychology examines the human spirit through a thorough discussion of splitting from the self; splitting in the child; looking for meeting; meetings with the self; meetings with fragments; and meetings after restructurings. In Sailors Psychology, Litvin shows that when our psyche becomes whole we are ready for dialogs and real meetings, which are the true goals of our life.

Book Description
We are emigrants and having the mind of sailors, we want to connect. We are discovering and unifying all parts of our psyche, and are having genuine dialogs and real meetings. In the past we were forced to become part of a collective, where the ideologists were acting as crooked preachers to lure the naive. The ideologists were enlisting us to live a life of monks. In return they were promising happiness and a heaven on earth. Opposite to radical collective, instead of creating the rigid structure of compliance and ignoring our subconscious feelings, sailors decided to enjoy flexible interactions between all parts of the psyche. To be happy we are altering connections between our fragments. The plasticity of self is a big advantage. It is including the cooperation of consciousness and sub-consciousness. We do not suppress our thoughts and feelings and are treating them with respect. We are not rejecting any subconscious messages however unlike they are. Only when our fragments are respecting each other does the genuine dialog exist, and our identity is solid and does not fall apart under the stress. Life of the Sailor examines the psyche of the collective and asks the question, how do we remain true to ourselves?"

Book Description
This first-of-its-kind volume assembles current research on psychosocial issues and behavioral and safety concerns inherent in life and careers at sea. Focusing mainly on the commercial maritime transport sector, it sets out the basic concepts of maritime psychology in the contexts of health and occupational psychology and illustrates more expansive applications across nautical domains. A systems perspective and detailed case studies spotlight unique challenges to mariners’ work performance, personal and environmental health and safety; it also provides support for psychometric assessment of seafarers, and describes emerging uses for the healing properties of the sea and sailing. The book is a springboard for continued research and practice development, further interaction between psychology and the maritime world, and the continued broadening and deepening of the field. Among the topics covered: · Positive psychology and wellbeing at sea. · Transferring learning across safety critical industries. · Occupational stress in seafarers. · The psychology of ship architecture and design. · Motion sickness susceptibility and management at sea. · Risk communication during a maritime disaster. Written with clarity and nuance reflecting the vastness of marine experience, Maritime Psychology will be of interest to lecturers, researchers, and students of occupational and health psychology and maritime science, and to social and health scientists and practitioners in these and related fields.

Professor Stepan Kryvoruchko PhD is a scholar who believes that Aborigin, an area soiled by ruination, is inflicted with psychological infections. Viruses were killing individuality. Aborigin’s Superior Leader, a dictator and tyrant who designed a crematory with a network of labor camps, has moved modern Aborigine back to Golden Horde time. As a collective imposes its doctrine on the population, no one knows what is next. Aaron Kaufman has the misfortune of living in Aborigin. Although atrocities have taken the lives of millions including many of his relatives, Aaron has somehow managed to survive. Unfortunately, lies are everywhere. The collective has created double standards in an attempt to alter the nature of man.
