Freudian neurosis, despite being a psychological disorder rather than a literary topic, has been used in literature to conceptualise characters’ suffering. Freud contends that the suppression of desires due to hidden and unhidden causes leads to neurosis. Being unable to succeed in life, individuals feel neurotic and tend to displace their frustrations onto other persons or objects. Starting with the Renaissance, this article explores how displacement in Shakespeare’s Hamlet is tacitly approached and how this reaction has become a recurrent case in Willa Cather’s A Lost Lady (1923) and Laila Al Halaby’s Once in a Promised Land (2007). The article analyses the incentives of neurosis in each work, how these reasons lead to the onset of displacement and how literary works share relatively similar implications about displacement despite being about different issues.

Abstrak Teori Psikoanalisis Freud bukan saja digunakan untuk terapi pada manusia, akan tetapi sering juga digunakan untuk menelaah karya sastra yang memuat masalah-masalah psikologis tokoh yang ada di dalam karya sastra. Sigmund Freud dikenal dengan teorinya mengenai lapisan kesadaran, dan ia sendiri mengujicobakan teorinya mengenai lapisan kesadaran ini ke dalam karya sastra. Tujuan penulisan ini adalah untuk menelaah tokoh yang mengalami penyimpangan secara kejiwaan dalam novel karya Mira W. yang berjudul Deviasi dengan menggunakan teori dan pendekatan psikoanalisis Freud dalam karya sastra. Hasil analisis memperlihatkan bahwa tokoh utama dalam novel ini mengalami masalah kejiwaan berat sehingga menderita Dissociative Identity Disorder(DID) atau Multiple Personality Disorder, yakni suatu kelainan kejiwaan yang mengakibatkan seseorang memiliki kepribadian ganda. Kelainan kejiwaan ini tidak muncul begitu saja, akan tetapi ada sebuah penyebab yang berasal dari masa kanak-kanak dan butuh rentangan waktu yang panjang untuk memperlihatkan bahwa seseorang telah menyimpang secara kejiwaan, atau tidak norma Abstract Freud’s Psychoanalytic Theory is not only used for therapy in humans, but often also used to examine literary works that contain psychological problems of characters inside literary works. Sigmund Freud was known for his theory of the layer of consciousness, and he tested his theory into literary work. The purpose of this paper is to examine the characters who experience psychiatric disorder in Mira W's novel entitled Deviasi using Freud's psychoanalytic theory and approach in literary works. The results of the analysis show that the main character in this novel suffered severe psychiatric problems and he had suffered of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) or  Multiple Personality Disorder, a psychiatric disorder that results in a person having multiple personalities. This psychiatric disorder does not appear just in sudden, but there is a cause that originates from childhood and requires a long stretch of time to show that someone has psychological disorder or abnormally deviated.

Abstract. Emotion-related impulsivity, defined as the tendency to say or do things that one later regret during periods of heightened emotion, has been tied to a broad range of psychopathologies. Previous work has suggested that emotion-related impulsivity is tied to an impaired function of the serotonergic system. Central serotonin synthesis relies on the intake of the essential amino acid, tryptophan and its ability to pass through the blood brain barrier. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the association between emotion-related impulsivity and tryptophan intake. Methods: Undergraduate participants (N = 25, 16 women, 9 men) completed a self-rated measure of impulsivity (Three Factor Impulsivity Index, TFI) and daily logs of their food intake and exercise. These data were coded using the software NutriNote to evaluate intakes of tryptophan, large neutral amino acids, vitamins B6/B12, and exercise. Results: Correlational analyses indicated that higher tryptophan intake was associated with significantly lower scores on two out of three subscales of the TFI, Pervasive Influence of Feelings scores r =  –.502, p < . 010, and (lack-of) Follow-Through scores, r =  –.407, p < . 050. Conclusion: Findings provide further evidence that emotion-related impulsivity is correlated to serotonergic indices, even when considering only food habits. It also suggests the need for more research on whether tryptophan supplements might be beneficial for impulsive persons suffering from a psychological disorder.

Inequality in the promised land: Race, resources, and suburban schooling is a well-written book by L’ Heureux Lewis-McCoy. The book is based on Lewis-McCoy’s doctoral dissertation, that included an ethnographic study in a suburban area named Rolling Acres in the Midwestern United States. Lewis-McCoy studied the relationship between families and those families’ relationships with schools. Through this study, the author explored how invisible inequality and racism in an affluent suburban area became the barrier for racial and economically minority students to grow up academically. Lewis-McCoy also discovered the hope of the minority community for raising their children for a better future.

Naguib Mahfouz

With a rich, productive career spanning over 60 years, culminating in the award of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1988, Naguib Mahfouz's literary works have naturally attracted numerous studies and critiques. These studies have covered a great many aspects of Mahfouz's creative writing, but, perhaps because of the secular, modern education Mahfouz received (both at school and in the Department of Philosophy in Cairo University), and his personal lifestyle, they have concentrated on the socialist, materialist, and structural aspects of his work. Perhaps because of this, one important aspect of his writing has largely escaped attention: his artistic use of the language of the Qur'an. Mahfouz does not signal that a given phrase or reference is Qur'anic, leaving it to blend with the text, and making it easy to miss the fact that the Qur'an played any part in Mahfouz's use of language. However, to a reader who knows the Qur'an by heart the presence of Qur'anic language in his works is obvious, and equally obvious is Mahfouz's artistic talent in using it. Eventually, he himself announced at the end of his life that he had always had an intimate interest in the Qur'an, read it daily, and benefited from it. This article seeks to demonstrate the ubiquitous presence of Qur'anic language in Mahfouz's works, and the skill and subtlety with which he used it.
