Book SynopsisThis book, originally published in 1976, documents the idiosyncracies and foibles of the scientific process as a field of endeavour. A new introduction updates such aspects of academia as politics and tenure, publication and power relations, science studies and constructivist inquiry, and what have come to be called the science wars.Trade Review"Michael Mahoney has practiced science from within the major paradigms and has also stood outside and critiqued each in turn, not as caricatures but as valiant (if fallible) attempts to make sense of our experience." N. McK. Agnew, York University "A radical, thought-provoking exploration of the experience of being a scientist. After twenty-five years, it maintains its lively topicality and suggests new questions relevant to scientific methodologies." Giampiero Arciero, University of Siena "This important book challenges many myths of science and its practitioners. Mahoney's absorbing new introduction offers a clear picture of our social responsibility in the manufacture and use of knowledge. Erudite and informative, yet also witty and entertaining." Sophie Freud, Simmons College "One of the great psychologies of science. Mahoney deconstructs the many myths that are cracking the very foundations of scientific knowledge."

Book Synopsis'A tour de force . . . an important, affecting and effective book' ALASTAIR CAMPBELL'[A] gorgeous and urgent book' STEVEN PINKER'MENDING THE MIND reminds us that, despite our hazy understanding of depression, and despite the true horror of the illness, some hope for recovery remains' THE TIMESSadness is an inevitable part of life, but for most people it will usually alternate or coexist with happy times. Clinical depression, on the other hand, is a mental disorder that causes torment and anguish. It has no moments of relief. It unhinges us from everything we thought we knew about the world and makes us strangers to those we love. It is the predominant mental-health problem worldwide, affecting more than 250 million people. More than a fifth of the population of the UK report symptoms of depression or anxiety. Yet how much do we really know of the condition and of ways to treat it?In MENDING THE MIND, Oliver Kamm recounts wh

Book SynopsisThe Talk Therapy Revolution: Neuroscience, Phenomenology and Mental Health, uses phenomenology and neuroscience to describe experiential counseling themes such as intuition, attunement, emotional regulation, insight, empathy, momentum and others. Peter Ladd explores these experiential counseling practices in direct comparison with a medical model of talk therapy and examines the pros and cons of both models. Ladd presents an orderly and efficient integration of these two models that accounts for the reciprocal relationship between human experience and neuroscience in which interpersonal relationships have a direct impact on the brain and the brain has a direct impact on human experience.Trade ReviewIn The Talk Therapy Revolution, Peter Ladd masterfully blends the experiential orientation of phenomenology with insights from contemporary neuroscience to provide powerful support for core elements of relational helping, including intuition, attunement, and empathy. Challenging the limitations of the culturally dominant medical model, Ladd conjoins neuroscience and phenomenology to advocate for a remarkably effective, authentic, and thoroughly relational approach to counseling and psychotherapy. I highly recommend this outstanding book to all talk therapists, who will greatly benefit from its clear, engaging style, numerous case examples, and revolutionary vision of the therapeutic process. -- James T. Hansen, Oakland UniversityIn his newest book, Dr. Ladd gives therapists permission to break free of a medical model that all too often overlooks the human experience and the healing connection between therapist and client. He rests his assertions on sound neurological research and real life treatment examples to demonstrate how this method of therapy really works. Dr. Ladd conceptualized how to use this phenomenological approach in a way that therapists of all levels of expertise could understand and utilize in their practice. Let the talk therapy revolution begin! -- Jayme Smith, Office of Minority Health Resource CenterAs mental health care becomes more medicalized and reductionistic, this book is an important reminder of the significance of dialogue and the centering of the client experience in the facilitation of growth and recovery. This book is a must read for practitioners and educators in the mental health field. -- AnnMarie Churchill, Memorial University of NewfoundlandTable of ContentsChapter 1: The Integrated Mind Chapter 2: Intuitive Decision Making Chapter 3: Attuned Connections Chapter 4: Emotional Regulation Chapter 5: Empathic Interactions Chapter 6: Insightful Revelations Chapter 7: Selfless Acts Chapter 8: Fear: Positive or Negative?

Book SynopsisSuccessful people literally see the world differently. Now an award-winning scientist explains how anyone can leverage this “perception gap” to their advantage. “Get ready for this book to change how you see everything you see."—Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take When it comes to setting and meeting goals, we may see—quite literally—our plans, our progress, and our potential in the wrong ways. We perceive ourselves as being closer to or further from the end than we may actually be depending on our frame of reference. We handicap ourselves by looking too often at the big picture and at other times too long at the fine detail. But as award-winning social psychologist Emily Balcetis explains, there is great power in these misperceptions. We can learn to leverage perceptual illusions if we know when and how to use them to our advantage. Drawing on her own rigorous research and cutting-edge discoveries in vision science, cognitive research, and motivational psychology, Balcetis offers unique accounts of the perceptual habits, routines, and practices that successful people use to set and meet their ambitions. Through case studies of entrepreneurs, athletes, artists, and celebrities—as well as her own colorful experience of trying to set and reach a goal—she brings to life four powerful yet largely untapped visual tactics that can be applied according to the situation. Narrow your focus: Closing the aperture of your attention helps you exercise effectively, save money, and find more time in your day. Widen the bracket: Seeing the forest instead of the trees reduces temptations and helps you recognize when a change of course is in order.  Materialize your plan and your progress: Creating checklists and objective assessments inspires better planning and adjusts your gauge of what’s really left to be done. Control your frame of reference: Knowing where to direct attention improves your ability to read others’ emotions, negotiate better deals, foster stronger relationships, and overcome a fear of public speaking. A mind-blowing and original tour of perception, Clearer, Closer, Better will help you see the possibilities in what you can’t see now. Inspiring, motivating, and always entertaining, it demonstrates that if we take advantage of our visual experiences, they can lead us to live happier, healthier, and more productive lives every day.

Jay Shetty, author of Think Like a Monk and 8 Rules of LoveThe secret to productivity isn't discipline. It's joy.We think that productivity is all about hard work.

Book SynopsisThe book is a journal that presents narrations and factual accounts of events covering 144 days the author spent during the Third Scientific Expedition of the Polish Academy of Sciences to the Arctowski Station on King George Island (South Shetland Islands). The observations comprise events and behaviors in daily life situations of a team of Polish polar explorers. A valuable source of knowledge for empirical psychology on the behavior of people in extreme conditions, the book describes symptoms that form the winter-over syndrome. The “winter-over syndrome” may be predicted by analogous effects of space isolation, especially in long-term space missions, like an expedition to Mars. Hence, this book is an important scientific and civilizational event in the era of space exploration.Table of ContentsJournal – narrations and factual accounts – Third Scientific Expedition of the Polish Academy of Sciences to the Arctowski Station on King George Island (South Shetland Islands) – empirical psychology – people in extreme conditions – the winter-over syndrome – space isolation

Book SynopsisThe book is a scientific monograph, based on a natural experiment on cognitive, emotional and social functioning during the year-long isolation of 21 winter hounds at the Henryk Arctowski Polish Antarctic Station. The conducted research was of a specimen and sociometric nature. The results presented in the book are unique in the literature on the subject due to the longitudinal nature of the research conducted, together with its high frequency (every two weeks). Moreover, the social isolation was total in its character, due to the large limitation of connectivity with the outside world, which could be considered analogous to future long-term space missions.Table of ContentsSensory deprivation – social isolation – humans in Antarctic isolation – stress factors in the Antarctic environment – transactional characteristics of the winter-over syndrome – stimulative, social, chronobiological, and functional aspects of Antarctic isolation – extreme stress

Book SynopsisIst Intelligenz erblich? Karl-Friedrich Fischbach und Martin Niggeschmidt zeigen, dass „Erblichkeit“ in der biologischen Fachsprache etwas anderes bedeutet als in der Alltagssprache – was fast zwangsläufig zu Fehlinterpretationen führt. Die 2. Auflage dieses essentials wurde um Kapitel zur Aussagekraft von Zwillingsstudien und genomweiten Assoziationsstudien über IQ-Unterschiede erweitert. Wer sich die Logik der Modelle und Methoden vergegenwärtigt, stellt fest: Intelligenz als „erblich“ zu bezeichnen, ist unpräzise und irreführend. Die Autoren:Prof. Dr. Karl-Friedrich Fischbach ist Entwicklungsbiologe und Neurogenetiker. Er war von 1985 bis 2013 Professor für Biophysik und Molekularbiologie an der Universität Freiburg, davon zwei Jahre lang als geschäftsführender Direktor des Instituts für Biologie III.Martin Niggeschmidt ist Redakteur in Hamburg.Stimmen zur 1. Auflage:„... Das zugänglich geschriebene Werk erklärt faktenbasiert und anhand zahlreicher Abbildungen den komplexen Stoff, um so Missverständnisse, aber auch bewusste Falschaussagen aufzudecken.” (Arne Baudach, in: Spektrum der Wissenschaft)„... wirklich lohnenswert, ja verdienstvoll ...“ (Joachim Müller-Jung, in: Planckton, Frankfurter Allgemeine Blogs) Trade Review“Interessante Einsichten und viele Aha-Momente. Was es wirklich bedeutet, wenn Genetiker über die Erblichkeit der Intelligenz reden, und warum selbst Experten diese Informationen so oft falsch interpretieren.” (Dr. Peter Spork, in: Riffreporter, 29.

Book SynopsisThe research in the field of vision conducted from 1919 by the Laboratory of Experimental Psychology, founded by Vittorio Benussi at the University of Padua, had a remarkable and innovative impact. This research went beyond the academic and disciplinary sphere and, starting in the 1960s, helped to stimulate a ground-breaking cultural and artistic scene, launching the city of Padua and its artists internationally. This volume explores the relationship between the works, milieux and exhibitions of the Gruppo N - Alberto Biasi, Ennio L. Chiggio, Toni Costa, Edoardo Landi, Manfredo Massironi - active in Padua from 1960 to 1964, and the studies of Vittorio Benussi and the first scholars of his School: Cesare Musatti, Fabio Metelli and Gaetano Kanizsa, who was born in Trieste but graduated in Padua. Marina Apollonio’s art and research occupy a special place in this dialogue between science and art. Texts by: Rossana Actis-Grosso, Elisa Baldini, Guido Bartorelli, Paolo Bernardis, Marco Bertamini, Giovanni Bianchi, Ivana Bianchi, Andrea Bobbio, Nicola Bruno, Elisa Caldarola, Marnie Campagnaro, Barbara Luciana Cenere, Alberto Cibin, Elena Clara, Osvaldo da Pos, Andrea Dissegna, Carlo Fantoni, Giovanni Galfano, Walter Gerbino, Enrico Giora , Massimo Grassi, Laura Messina-Argenton, Giulia Parovel Tamara Prest, Marta Previti, Lucia Regolin, Sergio Roncato e Baingio Pinna, Federica Stevanin, Giorgio Vallortigara, Ian Verstegen, Giuseppe Virelli, Daniele Zavagno.
