Book SynopsisWarum fallen Menschen in alte, zerstörerische Verhaltensmuster zurück? Wegen schlechten Charakters oder einer schlimmen Kindheit? Wenn wir die evolutionär geformte Natur des Menschen berücksichtigen, erkennen wir Möglichkeiten zur Kooperation und zu regelhaft gestalteter Konkurrenz.Soziale Diskriminierung als Begleiterscheinung der kulturellen Evolution kann kooperatives Verhalten untergraben. Konkurrenz als unverzichtbarer Bestandteil für den Prozess der Evolution muss dem gegenüber nicht notwendig in Feindschaft und Aggression münden, sondern kann menschengemachten Regeln folgen. Dieses Buch versucht zu zeigen, Ansatzpunkte in der frühen Phylogenese zu suchen und nicht zu große Hoffnungen auf unsere neuesten kultur-evolutionären Errungenschaften (gesinnungsethische Empfehlungen, Antidiskriminierungsgesetze, Änderung sprachlicher Symbole) zu setzen. Wenn die evolutionär geformte Natur des Menschen berücksichtigt wird, erkennen wir Möglichkeiten zur Kooperation und zu regelhaft gestalteter Konkurrenz. Dies wiederum kann helfen, dass evolutionspsychologische Erkenntnisse zur Vermeidung oder Verminderung sozialer Diskriminierung beitragen können.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Kopftraining: So bleibt Ihr Gedächtnis fit
Book SynopsisDas Buch bietet viele abwechslungsreiche Übungen für das Training der Konzentration, der Wahrnehmung, des Merkens sowie für das Abrufen von Informationen. Spaß und Freude am Denken stehen im Vordergrund. Dabei beschränkt sich das Fitnesstraining für unsere "grauen Zellen" nicht nur auf stures Auswendiglernen oder dem Lösen von Kreuzworträtsel. Vielmehr geht es um Nachdenken, Überlegen, Entscheiden, Betrachten verschiedener Gesichtspunkte, das Erfahren von neuem, das Hinterfragen von Bekanntem und das Überdenken von Gewohntem. Erfolg, sicheres Auftreten und Kompetenz sind keine Frage der Veranlagung, sondern des aktiven Trainings unserer grauen Zellen. Wer sein Gehirn regelmäßig trainiert, wird nicht nur klüger, sondern verbessert seine Konzentration und beugt Vergesslichkeit vor. Die beste Gesundheitsvorsorge beginnt nämlich nicht nur bei der körperlichen Fitness, sondern auch bei der geistigen. Das Gehirn ist nämlich trainierbar wie ein Muskel und die Voraussetzungen zum Lernen sind bis ins hohe Alter gegeben. Oft reichen schon wenige Minuten täglich aus, um die mentale Leistungsfähigkeit zu steigern und auch im fortgeschrittenen Alter noch geistig fit zu sein. Trade Review“... Leicht verständliche Erklärungen bzw. Informationen, farbige Abbildung und Texthinterlegungen, die abwechslungsreichen Übungen können direkt im Buch durchgeführt werden. Das empfehlenswerte Buch liefert nicht nur hilfreiche Sachinformationen, sondern macht obendrein viel Spaß bei der Anwendung.” (Sandra Fuchs, in: Psychologie FoxBlog, sanfuchs1979.wordpress.com, 12. Juli 2016)“... gut strukturiert und abwechslungsreich eine Fülle von Übungen mit unterschiedlichen Schwierigkeitsgraden, um insbesondere das Gedächtnis zu trainieren. … Ein empfehlenswertes Trainingsbuch, das gut geeignet ist, sich geistig fit zu halten.“ (Karl Schäfer, in : Amazon.de, 24.

Taylor & Francis The Invisible Brain Injury Cognitive Impairments
Book SynopsisThe Invisible Brain Injury recounts, in her own words, the experience of Aurora Lassaletta, a clinical psychologist who suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) after a traffic accident. Presenting her unique dual perspective as both a patient and a clinician, Aurora highlights the less visible cognitive, emotional and behavioural symptoms common to acquired brain injury (ABI).This moving account showcases Auroraâs growing awareness of her impairments, their manifestation in daily life, how they are perceived, or not, by others and the tools that helped her survive. Each chapter combines Auroraâs perspective with the scientific view of a professional neuropsychologist or physiatrist who provide commentaries on her various symptoms. This book is valuable reading for professionals involved in neurorehabilitation and clinical neuropsychology and for clinical psychology students. It is a must read for ABI survivors, those around them and clinicians, who are all an essential part of the rehabilitation, adjustment and acceptance process involved with ABI. Trade Review'Aurora Lassaletta writes an insightful and engaging account of the consequences of her brain injury which is truly inspiring. This book succinctly describes and demonstrates with such clarity the invisible consequences of traumatic brain injury (TBI) that so many experience but find it tricky to explain. Throughout the book she takes us on a journey through these consequences and how she comes to learn to work with them to lessen their impact on her day-to-day life. Her honesty and openness about the ongoing process of acceptance and reflections on identity within this context is so important in gaining insight into the psychological challenges faced following a TBI. This book will be of great value to those who have experienced a brain injury and their families as well as clinicians and researchers working in the field. I would encourage everyone to read this book who has experience of or interest in the impact of acquired brain injury. Thank you for sharing your experiences.' - Fiona Ashworth, DClinPsych, AFBPsS, Anglia Ruskin University, UK'Wow! This book captures the essence of the brain injury experience brilliantly. It is written in clear language that is easy to read and digest, addressing all the common challenges that people with brain injuries and their families go through in a way that few other such books have done. As both a clinical psychologist and a brain injury survivor, Aurora Lassaletta uniquely applies insightfulness and keen observation to her personal journey from "normal life" to injury and on through years of rehabilitation and personal growth. Her message of perseverance and hard work and hope is an inspiration not only for survivors and their families, but also for professionals, who will undoubtedly re-think their stereotypes of rehabilitation as mostly impairment-based and only relevant in the acute stages of injury. I can’t wait to have the book in hand to recommend to my colleagues and clients with brain injuries alike.' - Jill Winegardner, PhD, Director of Neuropsychological Rehabilitation, University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, Cleveland, Ohio, USA'This book, written by a colleague, provides a moving, honest and brave account of the experience of suffering a traumatic brain injury. The narrative and commentary vividly brings to the reader the sheer determination, professional support, and resilience required to make the long journey back to living a meaningful life after suffering a traumatic brain injury. It is essential reading for all of those interested in the real story of what long-term rehabilitation after traumatic brain injury actually entails for many people.' - Rudi Coetzer, DClinPsy, School of Psychology, Bangor University, UK.'Aurora Lassaletta writes an insightful and engaging account of the consequences of her brain injury which is truly inspiring.

Taylor & Francis Bernsteins Construction of Movements
Book SynopsisNikolai Aleksandrovich Bernstein was one of the great neuroscientists of the twentieth century and highly respected by Western scientists even though most have never read his most important book entitled On the Construction of Movements. Bernstein's Construction of Movements: The Original Text and Commentaries is the first English translation. It supplements the translated text with a series of commentaries by scientists who knew Bernstein personally, as well as leaders in related fields including physics, motor control, and biomechanics.While written in 1947, Bernsteinâs book is anything but obsolete, making this English translation and accompanying commentaries an invaluable text. The translated original text presents in detail Bernsteinâs views on the evolutionary history of biological movement and his multi-level hierarchical scheme of the construction of movements in higher animals, including humans. The following commentaries address Bernsteinâs perTrade Review"We are fortunate to now have a new full translation of Nikolai Bernstein's book On the Construction of Movements (1947). Few if any researchers have had such long-lasting impact as Bernstein on our understanding of motor control in intact and neurologically impaired subjects. Bernstein began his work in Russia early in the last century and his publications extend almost to his death in 1966. His ideas about muscle synergy, hierarchical control and feedback mechanisms in the nervous system have seen a major resurgence in recent years, in spite of the fact that the technologies he used were quite limited in their precision. We now have a crisply written and highly readable translation of this pivotal volume written by a distinguished international leader in human motor control research, who continues current exploration of Bernstein's ideas using new technologies, and relying heavily on modern instrumentation, modern physics and mathematics." —William Zev Rymer, Northwestern University, USATable of ContentsPreface by the Editor/Translator PART ONE: On the Construction of Movements (N.
