Cognition and cognitive psychology Books

Book SynopsisThe CBT Handbook is the most comprehensive text of its kind and an essential resource for trainees and practitioners alike. Comprising 26 accessible chapters from leading experts in the field, the book covers CBT theory, practice and research. Chapters include: - CBT Theory - CBT Skills - Assessment and Case Formulation in CBT - The Therapeutic Relationship in CBT - Values and Ethics in CBT - Reflective and Self-Evaluative Practice in CBT - Supervision of CBT Therapists - Multi-disciplinary working in CBT Practice This engaging book will prove an indispensible resource for CBT trainees and practitioners. Trade Review′This is an essential resource both for students of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and qualified cognitive behavioural therapists. The book is organised in five parts that (logically) cover theory, practice. common challenges, specific populations, settings and core professional issues. Student CBT practitioners will find the first three sections invaluable. More seasoned practitioners might dip into parts four and five to explore the use of CBT in different settings and with different client groups, from children to private practice to self-care and reflective practice. For practitioners working in other modalities, the book is a well-referenced and substantial introduction. The handbook is better than similar publications that attempt to provide this comprehensive resource. It is clearly written and jargon-free; the contributors demonstrate considerable knowledge and experience in their respective specialist fields. It was also very refreshing to find chapters on ethics and supervision, which are often left out of books of this kind. I really enjoyed the book, gained new knowledge of benefit to my own practice, and would recommend it as a first point of reference for practitioners on CBT theory and its many applications′ - Therapy Today Table of ContentsEditor′s Introduction PART ONE: CBT THEORY What Is CBT and What Isn′t CBT? - Warren Mansell and John L.

Book SynopsisBy uniting key concepts and methods from education, psychology, statistics, econometrics, medicine, language, and forensic science, this textbook provides an interdisciplinary methodological approach to study human learning processes longitudinally. This longitudinal approach can help to acquire a better understanding of learning processes, can inform both future learning and the revision of educational content and formats, and may help to foster self-regulated learning skills. The initial section of this textbook focuses on different types of research questions as well as practice-driven questions that may refer to groups or to individual learners. This is followed by a discussion of different types of outcome variables in educational research and practice, such as pass/fail and other dichotomies, multi-category nominal choices, ordered performance categories, and different types of quantifiable (i.e., interval or ratio level of measurement) variables. For each of these types of outcome variables, single-measurement and repeated-measurements scenarios are offered with clear examples. The book then introduces cross-sectional and longitudinal interdependence of learning-related variables through emerging network-analytic methods and in the final part the learned concepts are applied to different types of studies involving time series. The book concludes with some general guidelines to give direction to future (united) educational research and practice. This textbook is a must-have for all applied researchers, teachers and practitioners interested in (the teaching of) human learning, instructional design, assessment, life-long learning or applications of concepts and methods commonly encountered in fields such as econometrics, psychology, and sociology to educational research and practice.Table of ContentsPart I – Common Questions.- Chapter 1: Learning Processes.- Chapter 2: Study Designs.- Chapter 3: Statistical Learning.- Chapter 4: Anchoring Narratives.- Part II – Variable Types.- Chapter 5 – Pass/Fail and Other Dichotomies.- Chapter 6 – Multicategory Nominal Choices.- Chapter 7 – Ordered Performance Categories.- Chapter 8 – Quantifiable Learning Outcomes.- Part III – Variable Networks.- Chapter 9 – Instrument Structures.- Chapter 10 – Cross-Instrument Communication.- Chapter 11 – Temporal Structures.- Chapter 12 – Longitudinal Assessment Networks.- Part IV – Time Series.- Chapter 13 – Randomised Controlled Experiments.- Chapter 14 – Static and Dynamic Group Structures.- Chapter 15 – Progress Testing in Large Cohorts.- Chapter 16 – Small Samples and Case Studies.- Part V – Conclusion.- Chapter 17: General Recommendations.

Book SynopsisThis open access book will examine the implications of digitalization for the understanding of humanity, conceived as a community of intelligent agency. It addresses important topics across a range of social and behavioral theories and identifies a range of novel mechanisms and their social behavioral effects. Across the book, the author highlights the expansion of intelligent processing capability brought about by digitalization and the challenges this exposes for integrating artificial and human capabilities. It includes the altered effects of bounded rationality in problem solving and decision making; related changes in the perception of rationality, plus novel myopias and biases. It also seeks to address cognitive intersubjectivity, learning from performance and agentic self-generation; and the novel methods and patterns of reasoned thought which emerge in a digitalized world; and how these mechanisms will combine in making and remaking the world of human experience and understanding. This book examines the problematics and prospects for digitally augmented humanity. In doing so, it maps the terrain for a future science of augmented agency. It will have cross-disciplinary appeal to students and scholars of applied psychology, cognitive and behavioral science, organizational psychology and management, business, finance, and digital cultures and humanities.Trade Review“This book provides an insightful introduction to the social and behavioral implications of human-computer integration, aimed at a wide audience from both human and computer sciences. The proposed conceptualization of augmented agency can provide a structural basis for exploring intelligence augmentation and promote further research in the field.” (Evangelia Kavakli, Computing Reviews, October 5, 2022)Table of ContentsChapter 1: Modeling Augmented HumanityChapter 2: Historical Metamodels of AgencyChapter 3: Agentic ModalityChapter 4: Problem SolvingChapter 5: Cognitive EmpathyChapter 6: Self-RegulationChapter 7: Evaluation of PerformanceChapter 8: LearningChapter 9: Self-GenerationChapter 10: Toward a Science of Augmented Agency

Book SynopsisCraftsmanship provides an insight into an inherently human dimension of work resulting from our immersion in an occupation or profession. The present book illustrates and defines the vital, social, aesthetic, and ethical dimensions involved in craftsmanship, which rejects a dissociation between handwork and wit, or between action and thought. This also contrasts with the neglect contemporary psychology has shown toward craftsmanship and its reduction to mere ‘human factors.’ Drawing on artistry as an emblem, the present account conveys that skilful action can only be renewed in a cycle involving both the personal and the transgenerational. There is little doubt in psychological and anthropological literature that the current global crises cannot be separated from social predicaments; namely, from the commodification of craftsmanship. In this book, the development of skilful action attests to a fundamental involvement required to sustainably perpetuate human endeavours. The role of expressivity in reappropriating technical activity is key in showing the continuous revaluation of our ethics and aesthetics of work, practice, and creation. The overall arc of the volume shows a movement from responsivity to responsibility. In short, if we are to reformulate our relationship to work and craft, we need to see through our responsibility in technique. The particularities of craftsmanship described here aim to contribute to such reformulation.Table of Contents1 The vitality of skill1.1 Skill as sprezzatura 1.2 When did skilfull action lose its way in psychology? 1.3 Skill and expressivity 1.4 A note on the developmental character of skill 1.5 The path to follow References 2 Physiognomy in motion 2.1 Form, repetition and variation 2.2 Motifs as promoters of cohesion in variation 2.3 The physiognomic character of perception 2.4 The intermodal organization of perception 2.5 The chiasma between affect and form-giving 2.6 From kinetics to kineasthetics References 3 Expressivity and skill motifs 3.1 Expressivity 3.2 Stylistics 3.3 Reprises in skill 3.4 Apprenticeship motifs References 4 Technical rhythms and harmonies 4.1 Eurhythmy in technique 4.2 Reprises in the study of techniques 4.3 The expressivity of musical instruments and luthiery 4.4 Eurythmic reticulates 4.5 The limits of expressivity and the lifecycle of techniques References 5 Sprezzatura.

Book SynopsisThe study of the brain-mind complex has been hampered by the dichotomy between objective biological neuroscience and subjective psychological science. This book presents a new theoretical model for how to "translate" between the two, using a third language: nonlinear physics and mathematics.

Book SynopsisTrade Review"This is a great introductory handbook detailing acute stroke care for those not as familiar with neurology or stroke, or for those who are not up to date with the most recent evidence. The numerous tables and figures summarize the information efficiently and make it a handy reference, yet its size and portability make it convenient to store in a white coat pocket. Given that stroke care is evolving rapidly, the references to tenecteplase, extended time windows, and CT perfusion help in keeping these practitioners aware of the latest guidelines. The book is especially valuable to those in the emergency room, internal medicine trainees, and medical students starting their neurology rotations. It is a worthwhile purchase for these non-neurologists and, given its accessibility and conciseness, it can be easily read quickly." --DoodyTable of Contents1. History Taking 2. Stroke Mimics 3.

Book SynopsisThis book presents innovative tools for helping patients to understand their emotional schemas--such as the conviction that painful feelings are unbearable, shameful, or will last indefinitely--and develop new ways of accepting and coping with affective experience. Therapists can integrate emotional schema therapy into the treatment approaches they already use to add a vital new dimension to their work. Rich case material illustrates applications for a wide range of clinical problems; assessment guidelines and sample worksheets and forms further enhance the book's utility.Trade Review"This important book illuminates how an individual's theory of emotion, emotion-regulation strategies, and meta-emotions influence well-being and experience. The contribution Leahy makes could be quite profound, as his ideas and clinical experience bridge the areas of emotional intelligence, cognition, self-regulation, and the practice of psychological therapies. Clinicians working in all orientations will find this volume a source of invaluable ideas."--Adrian Wells, PhD, School of Psychological Sciences, University of Manchester, United Kingdom "Highly accessible and filled with illustrative clinical case examples, this book is a valuable resource for any modern psychotherapist. The volume provides practical guidance to target emotional schemas in therapy. It is a masterful contribution by one of the leading experts in CBT. Every clinician should be familiar with the techniques outlined in this excellent work."--Stefan G. Hofmann, PhD, Department of Psychology, Boston University "Leahy offers a version of cognitive therapy that richly embraces emotion and addresses it with nuance and respect. This is not your grandmother’s cognitive therapy. I learned much from this book and am confident that other readers from outside the cognitive therapy world will as well."--Paul L. Wachtel, PhD, Colin Powell School for Civic and Global Leadership, The City College of New York, and Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology, The Graduate Center, The City University of New York "Although primarily focusing on thoughts and behaviors--as we are trained to do in CBT--is appropriate and effective for many clients, others present for treatment with problematic responses to their own and others' emotions. This wonderful book clearly outlines the role that emotion plays in psychological disorders and shows how to work with emotions throughout the course of therapy to help patients improve their relationships, learn how to make important decisions, and cope with life’s inevitable challenges. Helpful case examples, scripts, and assessment guidelines make the book even more user friendly. I am already using what I learned from this book in my daily work. That rarely happens!"--Deborah Roth Ledley, PhD, private practice, Plymouth Meeting and Narberth, Pennsylvania "This book extends the practice of cognitive therapy to include a most important and clinically relevant focus on the role of emotion in the change process. Drawing on empirical evidence and clinical experience, Leahy has captured a truly evidence-based approach to treatment. The book is unlike many others in presenting clinical guidelines that not only draw on different theoretical orientations, but also integrate research and practice. Vividly illustrated with clinical vignettes and transcripts, this volume offers insights for any and all therapists looking to increase their clinical effectiveness."--Marvin R. Goldfried, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Psychology, Stony Brook University "This straightforward book is highly informative and compelling. Leahy has a unique ability to convey the phenomena of the human condition. He suggests practical and useful techniques to help clients identify, validate, and respond effectively to their emotions. A particular strength is the focus on specific emotional contexts and experiences that clients typically bring to therapy. An essential text for teaching diverse groups of trainees about the importance of working with emotions in therapy and how best to do so."--Douglas S. Mennin, PhD, Department of Psychology, Hunter College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York -This book is quite novel and highly recommended for clinicians who are seeking to expand their clinical armamentarium to include greater facility with complex emotional experiences.--PsycCRITIQUES, 06/13/2016ƒƒEmotional Schema Therapy is an important book with implications for theory and practice that deserves a wide reading by cognitive-behavioral therapists as well as clinicians of other orientations….What is unique about Leahy's model is the detailed examination of patients' beliefs about their emotions and the use of a variety of techniques to modify those beliefs….One of the most important contributions of Leahy's model is the way he links patients' emotions with values and virtues….Leahy's work is integrative in the best sense of the word: wide ranging in its influences, explicit in acknowledging its commonalities and differences with other therapies, firmly grounded in cognitive-behavioral theory and empiricism, and yet ultimately original in its contributions….As I read this book I found myself repeatedly reflecting on some of my own challenging cases and thinking about how emotional schema therapy could sharpen my conceptualizations and provide new ways to intervene. I suspect this is a book that I will return to again and again. It is also my belief that therapists from all theoretical orientations, whether psychoanalytic, traditional cognitive-behavioral, third wave, or humanistic, will find much of value in this excellent book.--Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Book Reviews, 01/01/2016Table of ContentsI.

Book Synopsis 2019 Outstanding Academic Title What mental process occurs when a person does something she knows is unhealthy? When an honest person tells a 'white lie,' what happens to his or her sense of integrity? If we must choose between two equally attractive options, why does our value judgement of the options change after the choice has been made? In 1954 Dr. Leon Festinger first posited a theory of cognitive dissonance to describe the psychological phenomenon that occurs in these situations. In the years since, cognitive dissonance has become a central pillar of psychological theory, as was documented in the first edition of this book. In this new and fully-updated edition, editor Eddie Harmon-Jones brings the study of cognitive dissonance into the twenty-first century. Contributors survey recent discoveries about the role dissonance plays in a variety of information processes, as well as connections between dissonance processes and other motivational procTrade Review2019 Outstanding Academic Title “Cognitive Dissonance is a must-read for anyone studying social psychology.

Book SynopsisA revelatory look at how poet Allen Ginsberg transformed experiences of mental illness and madness into some of the most powerful and widely read poems of the twentieth century. Allen Ginsberg’s 1956 poem “Howl” opens with one of the most resonant phrases in modern poetry: “I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness.” Thirty years later, Ginsberg entrusted a Columbia University medical student with materials not shared with anyone else, including psychiatric records that documented how he and his mother, Naomi Ginsberg, struggled with mental illness. In Best Minds, psychiatrist, researcher, and scholar Stevan M. Weine, M.D., who was that medical student, examines how Allen Ginsberg took his visions and psychiatric hospitalization, his mother’s devastating illness, confinement, and lobotomy, and the social upheavals of the postwar world and imaginatively transformed them. Though madness is often linked with hardship and suffering, Ginsberg’s showed how it could also lead to profound and redemptive aesthetic, spiritual, and social changes. Through his revolutionary poetry and social advocacy, Ginsberg dedicated himself to leading others toward new ways of being human and easing pain. Throughout his celebrated career Ginsberg made us feel as though we knew everything there was to know about him. However, much has been left out about his experiences growing up with a mentally ill mother, his visions, and his psychiatric hospitalization. In Best Minds, with a forty-year career studying and addressing trauma, Weine provides a groundbreaking exploration of the poet and his creative process especially in relation to madness. Best Minds examines the complex relationships between mental illness, psychiatry, trauma, poetry, and prophecy—using the access Ginsberg generously shared to offer new, lively, and indispensable insights into an American icon. Weine also provides new understandings of the paternalism, treatment failures, ethical lapses, and limitations of American psychiatry in the 1940s and 1950s. In light of these new discoveries, the challenges Ginsberg faced appear starker and his achievements, both as a poet and an advocate, even more remarkable.Table of ContentsPrologue | vii 1 Death and Madness, 1997–1998 | 1 2 An Unspeakable Act, 1986–1987 | 14 3 Refrain of the Hospitals and the New Vision, 1943–1948 | 32 4 The Actuality of Prophecy, 1948–1949 | 63 5 The Psychiatric Institute, 1949–1950 | 89 6 Mental Muse-eries, 1950–1955 | 135 7 Gold Blast of Light, 1956–1959 | 163 8 A Light Raying through Society, 1959–1965 | 204 9 White and Black Shrouds, 1987 | 227 Epilogue | 237 Acknowledgments | 251 Notes | 253 Index | 271

Book SynopsisDrawing on diverse intellectual traditions, including those rooted in economics, psychology, sociology, and political science, Kuran provides a unified theory of how preference falsification shapes collective decisions, orients structural change, sustains social stability, distorts human knowledge, and conceals political possibilities.Trade ReviewHow can societies experience such dramatic reversals [as the end of apartheid in South Africa, widespread smoking bans and Republican control of Congress] in such short periods? In his inventive and sometimes astonishing book, Timur Kuran offers an answer--one that bears not just on revolutionary movements, but also on feminism, conformity, cognitive dissonance, the moral majority, 'outing' homosexuals, rationality, hate speech codes, Gorbachev, hippies and the caste system (all of which make prominent appearances in these pages)...Much of the interest of Kuran's book is owed to his insistence, unusual and refreshing among economists (of whom he is one), that people's choices, and even their desires, are not given and fixed, but are a function of social and psychological conditions, above all pressures imposed by other people...Kuran's book is a terrific success. -- Cass R. Sunstein * New Republic *A splendid book. It tackles a long list of interesting and important questions that have been discussed at length, and largely unsuccessfully, by scholars from each of the social sciences. The narrow rational choice model simply cannot answer many of these questions. Psychological theories by themselves cannot even address many of them. And sociological theories that take the group as the unit of analysis have made little progress. Kuran patiently and intelligently blends the insights of these disciplines into a behavioral model that moves the discussion forward on many fronts. -- Robert H. Frank * Journal of Economic Literature *From the caste system of India, to communism's rise and fall, to the continuing controversy over affirmative action, Timur Kuran's new theory of social evolution is as provocative as it is ambitious. Merging insights from many disciplines, Private Truths, Public Lies seeks to show how 'preference falsification' shapes social action, biases knowledge, inhibits change, and (from time to time) unleashes revolution...An excellent book that can be read by scholars of all disciplines. Its interdisciplinary insights illuminate a raft of social, political, and economic phenomena. -- Laurence R. Iannaccone * Journal of Economic History *Economist Timur Kuran has written a fascinating study of how even formally 'free' citizens can be socially pressured into 'living a lie,' publicly justifying beliefs and practices that they privately reject, even abhor. -- Frederick R. Lynch * National Review *The core idea of this stimulating book is simple to grasp: Social factors, the nature of which is variable with the circumstances, can have the effect that people falsify their private preferences when they have to express them publicly. -- Raymond Boudon * Contemporary Sociology *[Kuran's] arguments are elegantly made and the lengthy discussions of the applications of the basic ideas are well researched and suffiently detailed to be of considerable interest in their own right...This is a thoughtful, imaginative, and stimulating book which deserves a wide audience. -- Alan Hamlin * Economic Journal *Timur Kuran takes us on a grand journey through world history, from the creation of the Indian caste system to present-day racial quotas in the United States. The journey is guided by the search for the social consequences of a phenomenon that Kuran argues is all-pervasive: preference falsification...Kuran's book opens important new perspectives for the analysis of both individual choice and social change. -- Felix Oberholzer-Gee * Journal of Institutional and Theoretical Economics (Tübingen, Germany) *Few recent contributions to the literature of social science open so many windows. This engagingly written book carries its learning and sophistication lightly. -- Loren E. Lomasky * Independent Review: A Journal of Political Economy *A fascinating study in social and political psychology and public opinion...For those who stress that war, violence and peace start in the minds of men, this is certainly an important work. -- Gernot Kohler * Peace Research *A compelling theoretical analysis of how contextual structures of power influence an individual to conform to public sentiment. Combining perspectives of economics, psychology, and sociology, the author provides countless insights into the process whereby individuals repress their true opinions because of possible censure or admonition from those representing the prevailing sentiment...Kuran's argument has crucial implications for social theory...Highly recommended for its thorough and insightful analysis. * Choice *[E]normously subtle...[Kuran's] exposition of 'preference falsification' is the most original work of social science I have read for many a long year. The term and concept have innumerable applications and deserve to enter the language...The conclusion Kuran reaches is a powerful one which is at odds with most social science and indeed everyday thought about our ability to understand or forecast social change...The text is entirely lucid and the theme is of the utmost importance. -- Eric Jones * Quadrant (Australian Review of Ideas) *Kuran argues that agents choose 'public preferences' which are contrary to their 'private preferences' in order to attain 'reputational utility.' Such 'preference falsification' pushes, in turn, ideas away from private consciousness, originating 'knowledge falsification' (i.e., indoctrination). Kuran's book is well-argued, never dull, and studded with diverse anecdotes. It is destined to become a classic, providing a methodological individualistic alternative to Karl Marx's theory of ideology...Academics as well as educated persons will come back after reading the book more enriched on how to understand our complex world. -- Elias L. Khalil * Southern Economic Journal *Kuran is the leading pioneer in examining the harsh and the subtle ways in which we are induced to deceive our public, our acquaintances, and eventyally ourselves about the issues that matter most in our lives or in our careers. His insight is always persuasive, sometimes stunning. A very careful book. -- Thomas C. Schelling, University of Maryland at College ParkThis fascinating book analyzes a topic almost never considered by economists, how social pressures modify choices among publicly visible actions. In particular, expressed "public opinion" may be unrepresentative of actual private beliefs, so a minor shock can easily set a bandwagon in motion. Thus political and social equilibria are far more fragile than is usually believed. In fact, almost all great revolutions have been more or less total surprises. The author's applications of the model--to the caste system in India, to the downfall of communism, and (unexpectedly!) to the affirmative action juggernaut in the United States--are gripping, insightful, and (with regard to the last issue) courageous. -- Jack Hirshleifer, University of California, Los AngelesTimur Kuran explores the devastating consequences to political discourses that derive from the simple unwillingness of intelligent individuals to say publicly what they believe privately. The United States may have constitutional guarantees for freedom of speech that were nowhere to be found in communist societies. But the eerie parallels that Kuran draws between the persistence of communism in Eastern Europe and the persistence of affirmative action at home should give even skeptical readers pause about the ability of our legal institutions to promote candid discussion of the major political issues of our times. -- Richard A.
