• Sommario/riassunto: These two essays, written late in Jung's life, reflect his responses to the shattering experience of World War II and the dawn of mass society. ; Among his most influential works, "The Undiscovered Self" is a plea for his generation--and those to come--to continue the individual work of self-discovery and not abandon needed psychological reflection for the easy ephemera of mass culture. Only individual awareness of both the conscious and unconscious aspects of the human psyche, Jung tells us, will allow the great work of human culture to continue and thrive. Jung's reflections on self-knowledge and the exploration of the unconscious carry over into the second essay, "Symbols and the Interpretation of Dreams," completed shortly before his death in 1961. Describing dreams as communications from the unconscious, Jung explains how the symbols that occur in dreams compensate for repressed emotions and intuitions. This essay brings together Jung's fully evolved thoughts on the analysis of dreams and the healing of the rift between consciousness and the unconscious, ideas that are central to his system of psychology. This paperback edition of Jung's classic work includes a new foreword by Sonu Shamdasani, Philemon Professor of Jung History at University College London.

Neuromuscular Performance during Lifespan: Assessment Methods and Exercise Interventions

• Sommario/riassunto: Neuromuscular performance can be regarded as the ability of the neuromuscular system to functionally control and drive movements by an appropriate integration, coordination and use of sensory feedback, ; reflex activity, central motor drive, muscle recruitment pattern, muscular excitation-contraction coupling and energy availability. This ability, for instance, enables the human organism to maintain stability and posture within the gravitational field in static and dynamic situations, to generate an appropriate amount of force necessary to solve a given motor task successfully or to co-ordinate limb movements in order to protect body structures and to avoid tissue damage. It is widely accepted within the scientific community that a well-developed capacity of the neuromuscular system is highly relevant for fitness and health during the whole lifespan. In early years, the appropriate development of the neuromuscular capacity supports the acquisition of basic movement and motor skills and, thus, contributes to sports competency. In this regard, a high neuromuscular performance may lead children and adolescents into an active and sportive lifestyle. Furthermore, the capacity of the neuromuscular system is fundamental to achieve peak sports performance in late adolescence and young adulthood. In this regard, there is also convincing evidence that injury risk can be reduced by appropriate exercise interventions targeting particularly the neuromuscular system. During later stages of life, a well-trained neuromuscular capacity enables people to stay active and healthy as well as maintaining the ability to fulfil the job requirements. In elderly people, neuromuscular fitness may minimize the risk of falling. During the later stages of life, the capacity of the neuromuscular system remains relevant to deal with the demands of daily life and, thus, to stay mobile and independent as long as possible. Although the relevance of neuromuscular performance is widely recognized, there is a large diversity in assessment methods and potentially efficacious exercise interventions. Whereas the aerobic capacity or muscular strength are very similarly assessed from childhood to older age, for instance, by conducting a VO2 max or one-repetition maximum test, respectively, there is no such uniform assessment method for neuromuscular performance measures. The diversity of assessment methods is at least partly reflected by a large heterogeneity of intervention approaches. This phenomenon might be attributed to an anticipated task-specificity of neuromuscular co-ordination and adaptations. A valid comparison of neuromuscular performance during different stages of the lifespan is therefore difficult.
