Book SynopsisIn (toward) a phenomenology of acting, Phillip Zarrilli considers acting as a question' to be explored in the studio and then reflected upon.This book is a vital response to Jerzy Grotowski's essential question: How does the actor touch that which is untouchable?' Phenomenology invites us to listen to the things themselves, to be attentive to how we sensorially, kinesthetically, and affectively engage with acting as a phenomenon and process. Using detailed first-person accounts of acting across a variety of dramaturgies and performances from Beckett to newly co-created performances to realism, it provides an account of how we do' or practice phenomenology when training, performing, directing, or teaching. Zarrilli brings a wealth of international and intercultural experience as a director, performer, and teacher to this major new contribution both to the practices of acting and to how we can reflect in depth on those practices.Trade Review"Zarrilli’s book is a major contribution to the effort to create a circulation between science, art, and human experience."Evan Thompson, Professor of Philosophy, University of British Columbia & Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada"Written with great poetic style and evocativeness, this impressive tome takes Zarrilli’s already impactful contribution to contemporary acting many steps further. It’s destined to become a twenty-first-century classic."Bella Merlin, Actor, Professor of Acting (University of California at Riverside), Author"…takes the reader on a journey between disciplines, repositioning both processes of acting and the languages we use to reflect on and lead actor training…a far reaching and thrilling journey into the embodied processes of acting which will liberate the actor."Ian Morgan, Performer and Course Leader MA Theatre LAB (RADA)"Zarrilli’s book is a major contribution to the effort to create a circulation between science, art, and human experience."Evan Thompson, Professor of Philosophy, University of British Columbia and Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada"Written with great poetic style and evocativeness, this impressive tome takes Zarrilli’s already impactful contribution to contemporary acting many steps further.

Book SynopsisA leader in transpersonal psychology presents the first truly integrative model of spiritual consciousness and Western developmental psychology The goal of an “integral psychology” is to honor and embrace every legitimate aspect of human consciousness under one roof. Drawing on hundreds of sources—Eastern and Western, ancient and modern—Wilber creates a psychological model that includes waves of development, streams of development, states of consciousness, and the self, and follows the course of each from subconscious to self-conscious to superconscious. Included in the book are charts correlating over a hundred psychological and spiritual schools from around the world, including Kabbalah, Vedanta, Plotinus, Teresa of Ávila, Aurobindo, Theosophy, and modern theorists such as Jean Piaget, Erik Erikson, Jane Loevinger, Lawrence Kohlberg, Carol Gilligan, Erich Neumann, and Jean Gebser. Integral Psychology is Wilber''s most ambitious psychological system to date and is already being called a landmark study in human development.

Book SynopsisSouth Korean economist Ha-Joon Chang used his 2003 work Kicking Away The Ladder to challenge the central orthodoxies of development economics, using his creative thinking skills to shine new light on an old topic. Creative thinkers are often distinguished by their willingness to challenge received ideas, and this is a central aspect of Chang’s work on development. Before Chang, the received wisdom was that developing countries needed the same kinds of economic policies and institutions as developed countries in order to enjoy the same prosperity. But, as Chang pointed out, the historical evidence showed that First World economic success was, in fact, due to exactly the kinds of state intervention that modern development orthodoxy shuns. Western affluence is the product of precisely the kinds of state control – of protectionism and the setting of price tariffs – that developed countries have since denied the developing world in the name of economic freedom and ‘best practice.’ By insisting that Third World nations should adopt these economic policies themselves, argued Chang, the West is actually stifling Third World economic prospects – kicking away the ladder. His carefully reasoned argument for a novel point of view was closely based on the critical thinking skill of producing novel explanations for existing evidence, and led many to question development orthodoxies – sparking a rethink of modern development strategies for less-developed countries.Table of ContentsWays in to the Text Who is Ha-Joon Chang?

Book SynopsisThe end of the Cold War, which occurred early in the 1990s, brought joy and freedom to millions. But it posed a difficult question to the world's governments and to the academics who studied them: how would world order be remade in an age no longer dominated by the competing ideologies of capitalism and communism? Samuel P. Huntington was one of the many political scientists who responded to this challenge by conceiving works that attempted to predict the ways in which conflict might play out in the 21st century, and in The Clash of Civilizations he suggested that a new kind of conflict, one centred on cultural identity, would become the new focus of international relations. Huntington's theories, greeted with scepticism when his book first appeared in the 1990s, acquired new resonance after 9/11. The Clash of Civilizations is now one of the most widely-set and read works of political theory in US universities; Huntington's theories have also had a measurable impact on American policy. In large part, this is a product of his problem-solving skills. Clash is a monument to its author's ability to generate and evaluate alternative possibilities and to make sound decisions between them. Huntington's view, that international politics after the Cold War would be neither peaceful, nor liberal, nor cooperative, ran counter to the predictions of almost all of his peers, yet his position – the product of an unusual ability to redefine an issue so as to see it in new ways – has been largely vindicated by events ever since.Table of ContentsWays in to the Text Who was Samuel Huntingdon?

Book SynopsisTraining is both a teaching and a learning experience, and just about everyone has had that experience. Training involves acquiring knowledge and skills. This newly acquired training information is meant to be applicable to specific activities, tasks, and jobs. In modern times, where jobs are increasingly more complex, training workers to perform successfully is of more importance than ever. The range of contexts in which training is required includes industrial, corporate, military, artistic, and sporting, at all levels from assembly line to executive function. The required training can take place in a variety of ways and settings, including the classroom, the laboratory, the studio, the playing field, and the work environment itself.The general goal of this book is to describe the current state of research on training using cognitive psychology to build a complete empirical and theoretical picture of the training process. The book focuses on training cognition, as opposed tTrade Review"The book provides a useful and compelling intersection of theoretical laboratory-based cognitive psychology and real-world education, training, and performance dynamics. It will be of interest to cognitive psychologists, industrial-organizational psychologists, and managers involved in training and performance issues. Summing Up: Highly recommended." - G.C. Gamst, University of La Verne, USA in CHOICE"Training Cognition offers a compelling example of how to apply the science of learning to the design of training for job-related tasks.

Book SynopsisThe idea that the self is inextricably intertwined with the rest of the world—the “oneness hypothesis”—can be found in many of the world’s philosophical and religious traditions. This anthology explores the oneness hypothesis through East Asian and Western thought as well as sociology, evolutionary theory, and cognitive neuroscience.Trade ReviewA fascinating collection of very diverse pieces on a most important and too often neglected subject. Truly notable for the range of approaches exhibited, the different traditions or cultures treated, and the variety of questions, both theoretical and interpretative, that are examined. -- Lee H. Yearley, Walter Y. Evans-Wentz Professor of Oriental Philosophy, Religions, and Ethics, Stanford UniversityIndividualism, the assumption that humans are ontologically distinct, fully autonomous, naturally self-interested beings is a foundational philosophical idea of modern Western culture. It is also, arguably, an increasingly disastrous one for the well-being both of the individuals it celebrates and the societies to which they belong. The impressive list of distinguished contributors to this important book show in many different ways that this assumption is highly debatable and culturally contingent. It should be read by anyone interested in the roots of the grave problems currently facing the world. -- John Dupré, director of Egenis, professor of philosophy of science, University of ExeterPositing that many of the pressing problems of our age are rooted into restrictive views of the boundaries of the self, this fascinating collection of essays provides a wealth of insights about how oneness might—or might not—be relevant today. From history to religion, philosophy (East and West), and psychology, the issue is tackled from a striking variety of different angles. A stimulating and inspiring read. -- Sébastien Billioud, professor of anthropology, history, intellectual history, and religions of contemporary China, University Paris DiderotThe Oneness Hypothesis proposes a fascinating and timely exploration of the idea of oneness from different disciplinary angles, while synthesizing current knowledge and outlining a path forward. The editors of the volume are leading scholars who will have a substantial impact on future conversations and scholarship about this topic. -- Ara Norenzayan, professor of psychology and director of the Centre for Human Evolution, Cognition, and Culture, University of British ColumbiaThis innovative collection explores this theme from a variety of different angles. -- A.

Book SynopsisPerhaps the most peculiar feature of a financial bubble – one that Charles Kindleberger's classic work Manias, Panics and Crashes draws particular attention to – is the inability of those trapped inside it to grasp the seriousness of their predicament. They know in principle that bubbles exist, and they know that the financial crashes that result from them are capable of destroying individuals' wealth and entire economies. Yet whenever and wherever a bubble begins to form, we're told that this time things are different, that there are sound reasons to continue to invest and to presume that prices will continue to rise steadily forever.Kindleberger's achievement is to use the critical thinking skill of evaluation to examine this strange mindset and the arguments advanced in support of it. He harshly judges the acceptability of the reasons used to create such arguments, and highlights the issues of relevance and adequacy that give us every reason to doubt them. Kindleberger also uses his powers of reasoning to effect an unusual achievement – writing a work soundly rooted in economics that nonetheless engages and convinces a non-specialist audience of the correctness of his arguments.Table of ContentsWays in to the Text Who was Charles P.

Book SynopsisThis book provides the first comprehensive guide to enhanced cognitive behavior therapy (CBT-E), the leading empirically supported treatment for eating disorders in adults. Written with the practitioner in mind, the book demonstrates how this transdiagnostic approach can be used with the full range of eating disorders seen in clinical practice. Christopher Fairburn and colleagues describe in detail how to tailor CBT-E to the needs of individual patients, and how to adapt it for patients who require hospitalization. Also addressed are frequently encountered co-occurring disorders and how to manage them. Reproducible appendices feature the Eating Disorder Examination interview and questionnaire. CBT-E is recognized as a best practice for the treatment of adult eating disorders by the U.K. National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).Trade Review"With his evidence-based, 'enhanced' treatment, Fairburn takes CBT to a new level. This book is written explicitly for clinicians, who will find the clearly written, practical guidance invaluable. Of particular interest are the authoritative description of the psychopathology of eating disorders and the lucid analysis of the management and treatment of underweight patients and those with multiple comorbidities. This is the definitive clinical account of CBT for eating disorders."--G. Terence Wilson, PhD, Oscar K. Buros Professor of Psychology, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey"Over the past 30 years, Fairburn has made immense contributions to our understanding and treatment of patients with eating disorders. This timely, clearly written, immensely informative, and very user-friendly book provides just what the clinician needs--a practical guide to all phases of treatment. Outlining his transdiagnostic model, Fairburn describes the processes that underlie all eating disorders and gives specific examples of how to assess, educate, and help patients with any eating disorder. Treatment is divided into stages, with clear guidelines for exactly what to say or do. This book will quickly become the preferred clinical guide in the eating disorders field. Fairburn and his colleagues should be commended for bringing state-of-the-art research to state-of-the-art practice. Bravo!"--Robert L. Leahy, PhD, Department of Psychiatry, Weill Cornell Medical College, New York Presbyterian Hospital"Another milestone by the field’s foremost pioneer, this book explains how to treat eating disorders in exquisite detail, and does so with a rich theoretical and empirical foundation as its basis.

Book SynopsisThis book provides a theoretical framework and a practical model of intervention for distressed couples whose relationships are affected by the echoes of trauma. Combining attachment theory, trauma research, and emotionally focused therapeutic techniques, Susan M. Johnson guides the clinician in modifying the interactional patterns that maintain traumatic stress and fostering positive, healing relationships among survivors and their partners. In-depth case material brings to life the process of assessment and treatment with couples coping with the impact of different kinds of trauma, including childhood abuse, serious illness, and combat experiences. The concluding chapter features valuable advice on therapist self-care.Trade ReviewMost therapists nowadays take for granted the obvious relevance of couple therapy for ruptures of relationship bonds. But what is unique about this book is the vivid and vital way in which Johnson reveals the power of couple relationships to help heal trauma originally experienced by individuals outside those relationships. I hope this book will launch a new era in the psychotherapeutic treatment of PTSD and related disorders. It's that good.--Alan S. Gurman, PhD, University of Wisconsin Medical SchoolWith the increasing recognition that many couples 'problems are related to the traumas of one or both partners comes the need for a new framework for understanding and doing couple therapy. This book succeeds brilliantly in providing such a framework. Skillfully integrating aspects of attachment theory, traumatology, and emotion-focused couple therapy, Susan Johnson enriches each of these fields while also providing practical guidelines for both beginning and seasoned clinicians. This book represents an important advance in the treatment of couples and of trauma survivors. I will be recommending it to all my students and colleagues.--Richard C. Schwartz, PhD, Center for Self Leadership, Oak Park, ILThis book is a major advance in the treatment of traumatized individuals and their partners, and a much-needed resource for clinicians. Dr. Johnson clearly shows how the experience of any kind of trauma can resonate in an individual's significant relationships, thereby compounding and extending the reach of the stressful experience. Offering an important theoretical perspective on the significance of attachment to the healing process, the book outlines a sequenced treatment approach and specific strategies and techniques to help couples rework and recover from the devastating effects of past trauma.--Christine A. Courtois, PhD, The CENTER: Posttraumatic Disorders Program, The Psychiatric Institute of Washington; author of Healing the Incest Wound and Recollections of Sexual AbuseJohnson offers a highly engaging and readable approach for clinicians working with couples affected by trauma. Her brilliant synthesis, based on extensive scholarship and a depth of clinical experience, applies to couples dealing with childhood trauma as well as those mired in past hurts from the relationship itself. Regardless of theoretical orientation, clinicians will learn much that they can apply to help in their most difficult couple cases.--Karen S. Wampler, PhD, Department of Marriage and Family Therapy, Texas Tech University - A well balanced book....A very informative book. It held my attention from cover to cover....Johnson ably demonstrated how the couple can be both worked with therapeutically to ameliorate psychological distress and cause the exasperation of distress....Johnson's EFT has most definitely brought another level of awareness, when working with traumatized clients, to the therapeutic table. --Journal of the Society for Existential Analysis, 1/20/2005ƒƒ A significant addition to the trauma treatment literature....Case examples are vivid, interesting, and tackle complex issues. Interventions are similarly detailed and well described....Recommended to all therapists working with couples where one or both members of the couple have suffered trauma. --Journal of Trauma Practice, 1/20/2005ƒƒ [Johnson] is an experienced clinician and a gifted writer. Individuals interested in adult attachment processes and the impact of trauma on either individual or relationship functioning, and clinicians committed to intervening with trauma survivors from either an individual or couple perspective, will find this book an invaluable resource. --Relationship Research News, 1/20/2005Table of ContentsI.

Book SynopsisThis hands-on manual from Leigh McCullough and associates teaches the nuts and bolts of practicing short-term dynamic psychotherapy, the research-supported model first presented in Changing Character, McCullough's foundational text. Reflecting the ongoing evolution of the approach, the manual emphasizes affect phobia, or conflict about feelings. It shows how such proven behavioral techniques as systemic desensitization can be applied effectively within a psychodynamic framework, and offers clear guidelines for when and how to intervene. Demonstrated are procedures for assessing patients, formulating core conflicts, and restructuring defenses, affects, and relationship to the self and others. In an easy-to-use, large-size format, the book features a wealth of case examples and write-in exercises for building key clinical skills. The companion website (www.affectphobiatherapy.com) offers useful supplemental resources, including Psychotherapy Assessment Checklist (PAC) forms and instructions.Trade ReviewThis work is an extraordinary synthesis of depth and practicality. It is as clear, concrete, and richly exampled a treatment manual as I have seen, yet it depicts not a simple or mechanistic therapy but one that goes to the very heart of human feeling and experience. Incorporating a profoundly integrative vision, Treating Affect Phobia will be of great value not only to psychodynamically oriented therapists but to anyone in the field who appreciates the accumulating evidence for the central role of affect--and fear of affect--in our lives.--Paul L. Wachtel, PhD, Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology, City College and the CUNY Graduate Center, New YorkThis is the training manual that teachers and practitioners of short-term dynamic therapy have been eagerly anticipating. It is the first psychodynamically oriented volume that expertly guides the novice through emotion-focused, time-sensitive psychotherapy in an explicit, step-by-step fashion. The manual is enhanced by very useful exercises that allow therapists to try out their interventions and compare them to the authors' expert responses. This volume represents a new and exciting development in the teaching, learning, and practice of psychodynamic/integrative therapy in general, and brief psychotherapy in particular.--Stanley B. Messer, PhD, Dean, Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology, Rutgers UniversityThis is a treatment manual with a number of fabulous characteristics: it takes the astute clinical observations of psychodynamic therapists and sets them within modern principles of learning and behavioral change; it draws from the best of the behavior therapy treatments for phobias; it is beautifully clear and easy to follow; and it has comprehensive learning exercises at the end of each chapter to help the clinician actually learn how to apply the treatment in clinical practice. I plan to have my students read it.--Marsha M. Linehan, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of WashingtonThis carefully reasoned and researched manual starts with the simple assumption that many people are afraid of their own emotions, offers easy ways to identify whatever is being expressed or even suppressed, and explains clearly the authors' suggestions for treatment.--Donald L. Nathanson, MD, The Silvan S. Tomkins Institute and Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior, Jefferson Medical College - This is the training manual that teachers and practitioners of short-term dynamic therapy have been eagerly anticipating.

Book SynopsisThis groundbreaking book explains how to tap into your body's energy not only to change your health, but to change your behaviors and thought patterns as well. Your body is comprised of energy pathways and energy centers that are in constant motion, a dynamic interplay with other energies and with your cells, organs, immune system, mood, and thoughts. If you can shift these energies, you can influence your physical health, your emotional patterns, and your state of mind. The Promise of Energy Psychology gives simple step-by-step instructions that will help you to: • overcome fear, guilt, shame, jealousy, or anger • change unwanted habits and behaviors • enhance your ability to love, succeed, and enjoy lifeThe energy approach presented in this book can help bring about significant change in your life. With this strategy, stubborn phobias often fade in minutes; the lifelong effects of an early trauma can frequently be reduced or completely eliminated; uncontrollable anger can rapidly become manageable; even elusive physical problems may respond where other treatments have failed. The Promise of Energy Psychology is an amazing tool that puts the ability to effect change directly into your hands, and finally gives you control over your fears, pain, and destructive behaviors.

Book SynopsisThis acclaimed, influential work applies the concepts of systemic family therapy to the emotional life of congregations. Edwin H. Friedman shows how the same understanding of family process that can aid clergy in their pastoral role also has important ramifications for negotiating congregational dynamics and functioning as an effective leader. Clergy from diverse denominations, as well as family therapists and counselors, have found that this book directly addresses the dilemmas and crises they encounter daily. It is widely used as a text in courses on family systems and pastoral care.Trade Review"Friedman understood congregational life as no one else did at the time and possibly as no one else has done since....When this book was originally written, clergy flocked to read it, as well as to attend Friedman's lectures and participate in the training program he established. Just as the book's title suggests, Friedman's ideas continue to be passed down to today's generation of leaders."--from the Foreword to the Paperback Edition by Gary Emanuel, PhD, and Mickie Crimone, MS, APRN "Well written and lively...required reading for pastoral counselors of every persuasion....Any therapist will find here new techniques for bringing about changes and will enlarge his or her conceptual framework of the human dilemma." --Jay Haley- A feature throughout the book is the heavy use of story and narrative to make a point. This is very effective as the narrative often contains multi-dimensional meanings that the author then explores in an engaging way....Provides an interesting and very readable account of how to incorporate family processes into congregational life. --Journal for the Study of Marriage and Spirituality, 3/4/2011ƒƒ I was shocked, surprised and disillusioned when I began to realize that hard work, sincerity and prayer weren't enough to guarantee success in pastoral ministry. I kept getting myself into tangles that I didn't understand until I read this book by a storytelling rabbi with uncommon wisdom. Friedman helped me see that the best way to engage with the factors I can't control—like the opinions and behavior of others—was to focus on the factors that I can control: my own presence, identity and behavior in the social system of the local congregation. --The Christian Century, 3/4/2011ƒƒ An important contribution to...family systems thinking and pastoral care....One of the most creative aspects of this volume is the way the book is laid out. The chapters are organized around interrelated concepts that feed back on and amplify one another—a design that itself helps the reader begin to think systemically. --Journal of Pastoral Care and Counseling, 3/4/2011ƒƒ A groundbreaking book in the use of family therapy....The key is not expertise, but self-definition and self-understanding. --Behavioral Studies of Religion, 3/4/2011ƒƒ A must read for persons of the cloth, for it points to significant issues and considerations on the experience of living in families and working with a congregation as a family. --Review and Expositor, 1/3/2005Table of ContentsIntroduction I.

Book SynopsisThis book will help readers understand the practice of qualitative research--whether they want to do it, teach it, or just learn about it. All the major research phases are encompassed (startup, design, data collection, analysis, and composing), including newly emerging trends. Numerous easy-to-read vignettes show how other scholars have successfully implemented specific procedures. Equally distinctive, the book presents qualitative research as an adaptive craft. The array of choices among different procedures and methods enables readers to customize their own studies and to accommodate different worldviews and genres. New to This Edition: *Stronger discussion of different worldviews (e.g., constructivism, postpositivism, and pragmatism) and how they relate to different methodological choices. *Clearer emphasis on doing a generalized qualitative study, while acknowledging 12 specialized genres (e.g., action-based research, arts-based research, autoethnography, groundTrade Review"With remarkable breadth of coverage, this is an excellent guide for both beginning and advanced students working their way through field-based projects. Practical in approach and documented with countless examples, the book covers everything from dealing with institutional review boards and preparing a pilot study to producing analytical generalizations, assessing rival explanations, and managing reviewer feedback. Few books cover so many aspects of the qualitative research process with such clarity, insight, and common sense. Yin has produced an impressive handbook that students and instructors will return to again and again."--Mario Luis Small, PhD, Grafstein Family Professor of Sociology, Harvard University "Written from a practical, inductive, and adaptive perspective, this text offers the best blend of scholarly examples and commonsense advice that I've seen. It is highly readable and the definitions and explanations are very easy to follow. The preview boxes, bullet points, and quick study boxes make it easy to find what you need. I really like the research vignettes and the extended sample study. The end-of-chapter exercises are excellent; I would assign many of them."--Michelle C. Bligh, PhD, Division of Behavioral and Organizational Sciences, Claremont Graduate University "With impressive content and coverage, this book offers 'nuts-and-bolts' guidance for conducting qualitative inquiry. The book emphasizes that qualitative researchers need to be practical, inductive, and adaptive, and offers compelling illustrations of these three principles in action. Yin is particularly adroit at showing the value of qualitative approaches for conducting evaluation research. The book is amply illustrated, with plenty of exercises to familiarize students with the practices described. This text will be useful for a wide variety of researchers, from advanced undergraduates to graduate students in such disciplines as nursing, public health, and social policy."--James A. Holstein, PhD, Department of Social and Cultural Sciences, Marquette University "Yin presents the basics of qualitative research in a clear, methodical manner that provides a basis for discussion and exploration in a course. Vignettes throughout the book give students a deeper understanding of the topics discussed. I appreciate the interdisciplinary nature of the vignettes, which are not wed to any one field. An additional strength is the discussion of ethics and the role of the institutional review board."--Penny A. Pasque, PhD, Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies, University of Oklahoma "This book's inductive, 'learn-by-doing' approach is the best way to learn how to do qualitative research. It is chock full of practical tips and suggestions, presented in an understandable, jargon-free format. Our introductory qualitative research methods class requires pilot studies, which makes the text a perfect fit. The sections on analyzing, interpreting, and writing up data are superb, and detailed enough for use in an advanced qualitative data analysis class."--Lance D. Fusarelli, PhD, Department of Leadership, Policy, and Adult and Higher Education, North Carolina State University "The pedagogical features are well constructed, and the examples bring a real-world focus to qualitative research. This is the approach that I try to use in my courses, as most of my students are going to be administrators or policy analysts, not academics."--Miriam Levitt, PhD, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Ottawa, Canada "This text is very practical and gives a solid overview of the qualitative process. The book's organization enables students to easily follow along as they conduct their own research projects. The descriptions of different types of data collection are especially strong, and the level of detail regarding interviewing and field observations will be beneficial for students who are new to field research. Yin encourages students to remain self-reflective throughout the research process--something that other texts keep on the periphery."--Brandi Lawless, PhD, Department of Communication Studies, University of San Francisco -I recommend this book for teaching and conducting qualitative research. It would be possible to follow Dr. Yin's suggestions using the end-of-chapter exercises to develop a course for one or two semesters….This book would be a great help for busy professors.--Family and Consumer Sciences Research Journal, 3/1/2016ƒƒAn exciting addition to the list of sources available for the new researcher....Within [his] linear, clear sequencing, Yin offered multiple options and reasons for choosing certain options (or choosing other options), encouraging researchers to do the same. The writing style was clear, concise and not jargon-loaded, which also might appeal to the novice researcher….I connected with Yin's work as a researcher and as a teacher.(on the first edition)--The Qualitative Report, 12/31/2014Table of ContentsI.

Book SynopsisThis compassionate book presents dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), a proven psychological intervention that Marsha M. Linehan developed specifically for the impossible situations of life--and which she and Elizabeth Cohn Stuntz now apply to the unique challenges of cancer for the first time. *How can you face the fear, sadness, and anger without being paralyzed by them? *Is it possible to hold on to hope without being in denial? *How can you nurture supportive relationships when you have barely enough energy to take care of yourself? Learn powerful DBT skills that can help you make difficult treatment decisions, manage overwhelming emotions, speak up for your needs, and tolerate distress. The stories and collective wisdom of other cancer patients and survivors illustrate the coping skills and show how you can live meaningfully, even during the darkest days.Trade Review"I will always remember the exact moment I received my first diagnosis of breast cancer, as well as my second diagnosis 15 years later. Over the years, I have nourished myself emotionally and intellectually by reading books on the challenges of living with cancer. None has had a greater impact than Coping with Cancer. This book is a treasure trove of tools and skill sets that can be life changing as you navigate the road ahead. It is beautifully written in a personal, authentic, totally relatable voice. It holds a special place on my shelf--as I predict it will on yours!"--Debbie L., New York City "This book is absolutely fantastic--it will be so very impactful and helpful. I am thrilled to have this widely available."--William S. Breitbart, MD, Jimmie C. Holland Chair in Psychiatric Oncology; Chairman, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center “In my 30-plus years as an oncology social worker, many books on living with cancer have crossed my desk. Books on this topic tend to be based on either personal experience or professional know-how; this guide is an excellent combination of the two and perfect to help you feel more in control and manage the uncertainty of living with a cancer diagnosis.”--Sara Goldberger, MSSW, ACSW, LCSW-R, cancer survivor and President, Association of Oncology Social Workers "I am deeply grateful to the authors for this respectful, compassionate, very practical guide. There was nothing like this book when my mother was diagnosed with cancer in 1954, back when people would not even say 'the C-word.' In fact, there has been nothing like it until now! As the survivor of two aggressive cancers myself, I wish I had had this book when I was diagnosed. The authors provide a manageable, step-wise approach to coping with an individual and interpersonal disaster. They draw on knowledge from both DBT and psychoanalysis to produce a welcome, creative synthesis."--Nancy McWilliams, PhD, ABPP, Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey “As a DBT clinician and cancer survivor/fighter myself, I rely on the skills in this book to face my diagnosis, treatments, and uncertainties, and to continue engaging in my personal and professional life. This book is an invaluable resource for patients, loved ones, and support groups facing the emotional rollercoaster of a cancer diagnosis."--Seth Axelrod, PhD, Director of DBT Services and Associate Professor of Psychiatry, Yale–New Haven Psychiatric Hospital "An important book for us all to read. It is practical, actionable, down to earth, and wise."--Rev. Joan Halifax, Abbot, Upaya Zen Center, and author of Standing at the Edge-In this exceptionally well-written book, this expert duo conveys compassion, empathy and encouragement as they walk the reader through a host of different behavioral and introspective coping techniques. It reads like a step-by-step guide to the phases of coming to terms with a cancer diagnosis and feeling effective in negotiating one's own needs. While DBT may be intimidating for some psycho-oncology clinicians because of the level of certification involved as well as the skills groups and supports inherent in formal DBT Programs, this book makes DBT approachable for clinicians and cancer patients alike….The first-person writing of this book conveys a warmth and ease that is inviting. It strikes the right note between being compassionate without being sentimental and direct without being judgmental. Furthermore, the book brings important DBT skills to life using authentic patient examples and affirmations that are balanced, genuine and transformational. This book and its skills are worth adding to your wheelhouse.--Association of Oncology Social Work, 10/20/2021ƒƒThe book gives wise guidance on how to reduce stress, make better decisions, protect important relationships, and increase overall well-being while fighting off the disease--all of which can support a better prognosis, too….This advice is useful for anyone going through difficult times, health-related or not. We could all be more mindful, offer ourselves more self-compassion, be better factcheckers, treat our support networks kindly, and search for meaning in life. The book, though geared to cancer survivors, really speaks to us all.--Greater Good Magazine, 5/21/2021Table of ContentsIntroduction 1. Dealing with the News That You Have Cancer 2.

Book SynopsisSince the turn of the twenty-first century, the psychology of emotion has grown to become its own field of study. Because the study of emotion draws inspiration from areas of science outside of psychology, including neuroscience, psychiatry, biology, genetics, computer science, zoology, and behavioral economics, the field is now often called emotion science or affective science. A subfield of affective science is affective neuroscience, the study of the emotional brain.This revised second edition of Psychology of Emotion reviews both theory and methods in emotion science, discussing findings about the brain; the function, expression, and regulation of emotion; similarities and differences due to gender and culture; the relationship between emotion and cognition; and emotion processes in groups.Comprehensive in its scope yet eminently readable, Psychology of Emotion serves as an ideal introduction for undergraduate students to the scientific study of emotion. It features effective learning devices such as bolded key terms, developmental details boxes, learning links, tables, graphs, and illustrations. In addition, a robust companion website offers instructor resources.Trade ReviewNow reorganized, and with new chapters on the brain and on happiness, this updated second edition will continue to provide students with an engaging introduction to the psychology of emotion.-W. Gerrod Parrott, Professor of Psychology, Georgetown University, USAThis book is terrific—up to date, well-written, comprehensive, accessible, and enjoyable. Diverse views in the field are presented in a balanced manner. Questions of what emotions are, how they came to be, and why we need them are addressed.

Book SynopsisThe definitive guide to motivational interviewing (MI) for health care practitioners has been completely revised to reflect important developments and make the approach even more accessible. When it comes to helping patients manage chronic and acute conditions and make healthier choices in such areas as medication adherence, smoking, diet, and preventive care, good advice alone is not enough. This indispensable book shows how to use MI techniques to transform conversations about change. Even the briefest clinical interaction can serve to build trust, clarify patients' goals as well as reasons for ambivalence, and guide them to take positive steps. Vivid sample dialogues, tips, and scripts illustrate ways to incorporate this evidence-based approach into diverse health care settings. New to This Edition *Restructured around the four processes of MI (engaging, focusing, evoking, and planning). *Incorporates lessons learned from the authors' ongoing clinical practice and practitionerTrade Review"Whether you are a health care professional-in-training or an experienced practitioner, this book is for you! The second edition is chock-full of information on current everyday challenges in a busy practice, including medication adherence, pain management, vaccine hesitancy, weight loss, addressing multiple behavior changes, working with hostile patients, and using MI remotely. The book weaves together the spirit of MI and micro-skills with newer processes of engaging, focusing, evoking, and planning, which are essential to facilitating behavior change. Highlights include practitioners’ reflections, practical exercises, annotated clinical scenarios, and sample open-ended questions for each process. This book can help you rediscover the joys of clinical work and prevent burnout by using MI to create more satisfying, efficient, and effective patient conversations."--Melanie A. Gold, DO, DMQ, Professor of Pediatrics and Population and Family Health, Columbia University Irving Medical Center "We use this book as one of the texts in our Advanced Health Promotion and Disease Prevention course, which introduces MI skills to advanced practice registered nurses. The students learn to see patients as people first, and to achieve better outcomes by using partnership, acceptance, compassion, and empowerment. The text has simple instructions with practical tools for application. This book fits into the classroom and practice setting as a resource for many health care disciplines."--Melanie Markham, MSN-ED, RN, Adjunct Faculty, School of Nursing, Regis College “Health care has been stuck in the ‘righting reflex,’ trying to fix patients by projecting science onto them. But to truly shift towards healthy outcomes, patients want our hearts and our ears before our science. This book guides us toward a process of care that is more effective for those we serve and more rewarding for ourselves. The second edition thoroughly updates this classic resource for delivering value-based care."--David Rakel, MD, Department of Family Medicine and Community Health, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health “Full of helpful tips to help clinicians guide their patients to achieve better health outcomes. I have been using the principles of MI since I first had the pleasure to learn this impactful approach more than 20 years ago. Each section of the book describes a step in the journey of helping people change their behavior by having constructive conversations during brief clinical visits. The second edition revisits and refines MI techniques in a practical, teachable format. All providers should become familiar with these critical elements of behavior change.”--Robert A. Gabbay, MD, PhD, FACP, Chief Scientific and Medical Officer, American Diabetes Association; Associate Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School "Rollnick, Miller, and Butler do a terrific job of breaking down MI skills for students and practitioners using MI for health behavior change. The case examples are a wonderful tool to help the reader understand key concepts. In all aspects of health care, we come across clients who could benefit from changing behaviors, and this book is instrumental as a guide. In the second edition, I especially enjoyed the new chapter on MI for administrators and managers and the case study on vaccine hesitancy."--Toby Spiegel, PsyD, School of Health Sciences, California Southern University of Health Sciences "An essential handbook for any practitioner who strives to have a positive impact on people's health and well-being. Written with the busy clinician in mind, this second edition guides you through the spirit and skills in a way that makes MI feel accessible and easy to implement in high-pressure environments. I will keep this book by my side in every meeting with clients. I cannot think of a single area in health care where this book would not be needed."--Orla Adams, MSc, primary care dietitian, Cardiff and Vale University Health Board, United Kingdom; member, Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT) "As an internist, when I first learned MI, a colleague suggested that I try it with patients who had uncontrolled diabetes or hypertension, the bread and butter of my practice. Only then did I see the opportunity to sprinkle MI into every primary care interaction. This wonderful book provides scenarios relevant to diverse medical specialties and settings, helping clinicians to immediately apply the spirit, processes, and powerful skills of MI. It provides timely insights into using MI remotely, in groups, and to address vaccine hesitancy. The case studies in the final section pull it all together and challenge learners to think about how they would respond and what they would say, thus preparing them to hit the ground running with their own patients."--Damara Gutnick, MD, Departments of Family and Social Medicine; Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences; and Epidemiology and Population Health, The Albert Einstein College of Medicine "In its second edition, this is a 'must-have' text for graduate health and human services students who want to communicate effectively with their patients/clients for positive outcomes. The text will be especially helpful for interprofessional education courses on communication skills, as there are various health care setting examples along with sample dialogue and practice exercises. The book is also for experienced practitioners who want to stay abreast of the current thinking and practice of MI. Rollnick, Miller, and Butler have written a book that is delightful to read, clear, concise, and addresses current topics such as using MI remotely and MI and vaccine hesitancy."--Melinda Hohman, PhD, MSW, School of Social Work (Emeritus), San Diego State University-Table of Contents Prologue I.

Book SynopsisAn inspiring manual for navigating humanity’s collective dark night and enacting personal and planetary transformation• Explores how Sacred Activism--specifically, creative, wise, sacredly inspired action--offers an antidote to the crises facing our world• Reveals how to uncover and sustain joy and how to use it as fuel for continuing Sacred Activism in dangerous times• Includes practical maps of the dark night process and of the four-part path to transfiguration drawn from the secret depths of the mystical traditionsPresenting a manual for navigating humanity’s collective dark night, Andrew Harvey and Carolyn Baker explore potential antidotes, drawn from mystical traditions and Sacred Activism, to help us find inspiration and take action in the face of the daunting challenges to our world. Offering a deep discussion of our global dark night in terms of the Kali Yuga, the authors examine the dangers of a growing constellation of intractable crises--authoritarianism both in America and abroad, climate change, economic inequality, social upheaval, and spiritual malaise. They then explore the antidotes to these crises: Sacred Activism--specifically, creative, wise, sacredly inspired action--and a profound understanding of our evolutionary ordeal and its potentialities. Examining the power of joy to help enact personal and planetary transformation, they explain how joy, or ananda, is a force all mystical traditions recognize as the essence of the Divine. They reveal how to uncover and sustain joy in ourselves and how to use joy as fuel for continuing Sacred Activism in dangerous times. Drawing on the visionary teachings of mystics such as Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and Sri Aurobindo, the authors show how the global dark night is part of an evolutionary mutation process and how its very intensity makes it the potential seedbed of a new embodied, divine humanity. They offer practical maps of the crises, of the shadows that this global dark night is casting, and of the four-part path to transfiguration drawn from mystical traditions. Sharing a vision of a new and focused global moment of love in action, the authors reveal that apocalypse is not inevitable--if enough people awaken to the extraordinary possibilities of Sacred Activism.Table of ContentsIntroduction to the Radical Regeneration Quartet PART ONE Savage Grace Living Resiliently in the Dark Night of the Globe Foreword to Part One by Matthew Fox 1 Kali Takes America Reconnecting with the Destroyer/Creator 2 Resisting the Modern Face of Fascism 3 Living Resiliently amid Global Psychosis 4 Regeneration The Legacy of Love in Action 5 Celebrating Reconnection, Resistance, Resilience, and Regeneration Suggested Reading List for Part One PART TWO Return to Joy The Journey beyond HappinessIntroduction to Part Two 6 Joy 133 The Ultimate Nature of Reality 7 The Adversaries of Joy 8 Personal and Collective Shadows Confronting the Crisis Directly9 The Myriad Flames of Joy 10 Dialogue on the Road to JoyConclusion to Part Two Suggested Reading List for Part Two PART THREE Saving Animals from Ourselves A Manifesto for Transforming Our Relationship with the Divine Animal Within Introduction to Part Three 11 Opening to the Initiation 12 A Revolution in Perception What Could More Than Human Consciousness Offer Humans? 13 Preparing the Ground of Initiation 14 The Tortured Human Animal 15 When We Cannot Look, We Cannot Act 16 What Is Being Done for Animals?

Book SynopsisThe definitive one-stop resource on structural equation modeling (SEM) from leading methodologists is now in a significantly revised second edition. Twenty-three new chapters cover model selection, bifactor models, item parceling, multitraitâmultimethod models, exploratory SEM, mixture models, SEM with small samples, and more. The book moves from fundamental SEM topics (causality, visualization, assumptions, estimation, model fit, and managing missing data); to major model types focused on unobserved causes of covariance between observed variables; to more complex, specialized applications. Each chapter provides conceptually oriented descriptions, fully explicated analyses, and engaging examples that reveal modeling possibilities for use with the reader's data. The expanded companion website presents full data sets, code, and output for many of the chapters, as well as bonus selected chapters from the prior edition. New to This Edition *Chapters on additional topiTrade Review"A tremendous resource that will be of great value to researchers and students who study SEM and apply it in their research. SEM statistical models and methods have continued to be developed over the past decade; the second edition of this volume incorporates these developments along with coverage of new estimation algorithms, computer programs, and empirical applications. The Handbookcould be used in graduate courses--students could be introduced to its basic chapters for contemporary articulations of SEM models and methods, and to subsequent chapters for specialized models and applications."--Kenneth C. Land, PhD, John Franklin Crowell Professor Emeritus of Sociology and Demography and Research Professor, Social Science Research Institute, Duke University "The world of SEM--in terms of both applications and methodological advances--has expanded dramatically in recent years. Just learning SEM in the first place can be hard enough, let alone keeping up with all of the new developments. The second edition of this handbook is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking a comprehensive summary of current possibilities and best practices using SEM. The authors are all leading experts who have tackled an exhaustive list of topics, with an eye toward accessibility for new learners, but without shying away from the material’s inherent complexity."--Lesa Hoffman, PhD, Department of Psychological and Quantitative Foundations, College of Education, University of Iowa "SEM provides unity to disparate analyses and facilitates model evaluation and modification in the everyday practice of uncountable researchers. This is an impressive, 'must-read' book for practitioners of SEM and those who want to apprehend the strength and usefulness of the SEM idea."--Albert Satorra, PhD, Emeritus Professor of Statistics, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, Spain “This handbook is an outstanding desk reference on a wide variety of advanced and foundational topics. I recommend it either for personal use or for a class with students with strong quantitative backgrounds. The second edition has excellent coverage of exciting developments regarding analysis of longitudinal data. The chapter authors are a 'who's who' of the field.”--Jeffrey S. Simons, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of South Dakota “I have always recommended this book for anyone interested in conducting or teaching SEM. The second edition continues to be my favorite comprehensive SEM reference book, with new chapters covering advanced topics.”--Dana Joseph, PhD, College of Business Administration, University of Central Florida-The breadth of topics covered in this reference text leaves little doubt that a firm grasp of data analysis with latent variables is essential to the advancement of scholarship in the social and behavioral sciences....An excellent resource for the many conceptual and analytical problems frequently encountered by researchers making use of SEM….Readers will find themselves returning to the Handbook again and again as a starting point for their work on virtually any topic currently within the broad reach of SEM.

Book SynopsisUnderstanding the human mind and how it relates to the world that we experience has challenged philosophers for centuries. How then do we even begin to think about ‘minds’ that are not human?Taking a uniquely broad view of minds and where they might be found – including in plants, aliens, and God – prize-winning science writer Philip Ball pulls these multidisciplinary pieces together to explore what sorts of minds we might expect to find in the universe.He offers for the first time a unified way of thinking about what minds are and what they can do, arguing that in order to understand our own minds and imagine those of others, we need to move on from considering the human mind as a standard against which all others should be measured, and to think about the ‘space of possible minds’.Ball sheds new light on a host of fascinating questions. What moral rights should we afford animals, and can we understand their thoughts? Should we worry that AI is going to take over society? If there are intelligent aliens out there, how could we communicate with them? Should we? Ball’s thrillingly ambitious The Book of Minds about the nature and existence of minds is more mind-expanding than we could imagine. In this fascinating panorama of other minds, we come to better know our own.

Book SynopsisThe idea of the self is immediately familiar to everyone, yet elusive to define and understand. From pioneering researcher Roy F. Baumeister, this volume synthesizes a vast body of knowledge to provide a panoramic view of the human self--how it develops and functions, why it exists, and what problems it encounters on the journey through life. What are the benefits of self-knowledge, and how attainable is it? Do we have one self, or many? What is the relationship of self and society? In 28 concise chapters, Baumeister explains complex concepts with clarity and insight. He reveals the central role played by the self in enabling both individuals and cultures to thrive.Trade Review“Not since William James has anyone contributed more to the study of the self than Roy Baumeister. Trenchant and insightful, this book integrates an enormously broad and interdisciplinary literature to offer a novel take on what makes us who we are. As Baumeister convincingly shows, it is our social and cultural nature that has given us a self, and this guides what our selves are ultimately for.”--Steven J. Heine, PhD, Distinguished University Scholar and Professor of Social and Cultural Psychology, University of British Columbia, Canada “Before Baumeister’s analysis of the self, I found myself telling my students that whenever you see 'self followed by a hyphen' (e.g., self-efficacy, self-esteem, self-control), hold on to your wallet. Baumeister’s brilliant book shows us how the self only makes sense as a product of the culture it lives in, how it changes over epochs, how difficult it is to 'know thyself,' and, most important, the indispensable reality of the self.”--Martin E. P. Seligman, PhD, Zellerbach Family Professor of Psychology, Positive Psychology Center, University of Pennsylvania "Baumeister is the world’s leading expert on the self. He provides a new model of the self and offers a staggering amount of evidence that supports this framework. This book is unique in its breadth and depth. It touches on human development, culture, motivation, interpersonal relationships, psychopathology, decision making, self-esteem, stress and coping, and personality. This masterful, comprehensive volume will guide the future scientific study of the self, and will be wonderful for use in undergraduate or graduate seminars."--C.

Book SynopsisThis definitive work--now extensively revised with virtually all new chapters--has introduced generations of researchers to the psychological processes that underlie social behavior. What sets the book apart is its unique focus on the basic principles that guide theory building and research. Since work in the field increasingly transcends such boundaries as biological versus cultural or cognitive versus motivational systems, the third edition has a new organizational framework. Leading scholars identify and explain the principles that govern intrapersonal, interpersonal, intragroup, and intergroup processes, in chapters that range over multiple levels of analysis. The book's concluding section illustrates how social psychology principles come into play in specific contexts, including politics, organizational life, the legal arena, sports, and negotiation. New to This Edition *Most of the book is entirely new. *Stronger emphasis on the contextual factors that iTrade Review"I was bowled over by this book! It is an ode to ideas and their conceptual evolution into principles and theories. With 24 chapters ranging from the intrapersonal to the intergroup level, plus six chapters illustrating the principles at work, the third edition extends the prior edition substantially with new topics and the latest scholarship and applications. This masterfully edited and lucidly written intellectual feast will be appreciated by researchers as well as by graduate students and advanced psychology majors, and is a suitable text or companion to most--if not all--social psychology courses."--Constantine Sedikides, PhD, School of Psychology, University of Southampton, United Kingdom "This volume provides a panoramic view of classic and emerging topics in social psychology. The geographic diversity of the authors brings forth an exciting range of topics as well as offering up a more accurate perspective on the psychology of social behavior. The third edition of this work will be a treasured companion as you navigate human social nature as we understand it today."--Mahzarin R. Banaji, PhD, Richard Clarke Cabot Professor of Social Ethics, Harvard University "Bringing the social resoundingly back to social psychology, this third edition highlights intergroup processes, cultural systems, motivation, and meaning-making as social rather than individual processes. Chapters explore the deeply social nature of human evolution and the biological and neurological evidence supporting such basic processes as social bonds and empathy. I highly recommend this handbook to readers who want to attain a solid grounding in current perspectives, topics, and methodologies of social psychology."--Daphna Oyserman, PhD, Dean’s Professor of Psychology and Co-Director, Dornsife Center for Mind and Society, University of Southern California "The outstanding third edition of this important, well-regarded handbook reflects the editors' deep and up-to-date knowledge of the field. With an international scope, the book emphasizes classic and contemporary ideas, theories, and principles, rather than the all-too-common conglomeration of disjointed empirical findings. It offers a rich and stimulating foundation for graduate courses in social psychology and is an essential reference for researchers at all levels. The volume covers an unusually broad range, from evolutionary psychology and core intrapsychic processes to interpersonal relationships, intra- and intergroup relations, and real-world applications in law, organizational behavior, sports, and politics. With its many new chapters and highly accomplished authors, this volume captures the excitement and richness of social psychology today."--Phillip R. Shaver, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Psychology Emeritus, University of California, Davis “Social psychology in one volume? Not if you want a complete assemblage of significant findings. But if you are looking for a conceptually integrated collection of the basic ideas and principles on which social psychology is built, you cannot do better than this book. Leading experts provide the theoretical foundations of the discoveries that have shaped the field. The breadth of the editors’ approach makes this a comprehensive and highly readable account of current social psychology.”--Fritz Strack, PhD, Emeritus Professor of Psychology, University of Würzburg, Germany-The book is excellent because it contains so much information over 30 chapters and 638 pages. It is written by an international collection of experts in the field. The third edition justifies replacing the second because it has been 13 years and research has increased dramatically over that time span. Readers will not be disappointed by this Guilford volume. *****!--Doody’s Review Service, 05/07/2021ƒƒIt is a must for empirical researchers in the field....Highly recommended.

Book SynopsisFrom foremost authority Russell A. Barkley, this book presents essential principles and practices for managing attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children and teens. Barkley interweaves the best scientific knowledge with lessons learned from decades of clinical practice and research. He provides guidelines and clinical tips for conducting thorough, accurate assessments and developing and implementing science-based treatment plans. The book is grounded in Barkley's theory of ADHD as a disorder of executive functioning and self-regulation. Ways to collaborate successfully with parents and other professionals are highlighted throughout. In a convenient large-size format, the volume includes 45 reproducible handouts and forms that can be downloaded and printed for repeated use.Trade Review"Barkley has produced an exceptionally helpful, practitioner-friendly guide, using his career-culminating executive functioning/self-regulation theory of ADHD as the overarching framework. The book is at once deeply conceptual and inherently practical, with a plethora of clinical tips throughout its pages. It will help professionals in multiple disciplines to understand the impairments that so many individuals with ADHD experience across the lifespan, to recognize the huge stakes involved in clinical management, and to administer evidence-based assessment and treatment strategies."--Stephen P. Hinshaw, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of California, Berkeley; Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of California, San Francisco "Not only is Barkley one of the world’s foremost scientific authorities on ADHD, but he also is a master of translating theory and research into clinical practice. This essential resource for mental health and education professionals presents state-of-the-science information that is directly connected to clear recommendations for diagnosing ADHD and comorbidities, providing parent counseling and behavior management training, and dealing with school and medication issues. Appendices include useful forms and handouts, as well as information on ADHD and health, neurogenetic underpinnings of the disorder, and treatments to avoid. This book needs to be on the desks of all professionals working with children and adolescents with ADHD."--George J. DuPaul, PhD, Department of Education and Human Services, Lehigh University "The book addresses important issues that clinicians face daily, such as how to properly assess and treat ADHD, how to help children and adolescents improve their executive functioning and self-regulation deficits, ways to promote school success, and more. A preeminent scientist, educator, and practitioner, Barkley has drawn on over 50 years of experience to create this sorely needed resource. In addition to timely, pragmatic information, the book provides a wealth of forms, assessment tools, and fact sheets to copy and use with parents and school personnel. Barkley, the ADHD guru, delivers once again!"--Lisa Weyandt, PhD, Director, Interdisciplinary Neuroscience Program, Department of Psychology, University of Rhode Island "Once again, Barkley has produced an exceptional work that is unprecedented in its grounding in established theory and its synthesis of the voluminous literature on ADHD and its treatment. The book translates research into practical guidelines for helping children and adolescents with ADHD at home and school. This book is essential reading for clinicians across disciplines who are treating children and adolescents with ADHD, as well as students preparing to become practitioners in clinic, school, and primary care settings."--Thomas J.

Book SynopsisThe election of an unabashedly patriarchal man as US President was a shock for many—despite decades of activism on gender inequalities and equal rights, how could it come to this? What is it about patriarchy that seems to make it so resilient and resistant to change? Undoubtedly it endures in part because some people benefit from the unequal advantages it confers. But is that enough to explain its stubborn persistence? In this highly original and persuasively argued book, Carol Gilligan and Naomi Snider put forward a different view: they argue that patriarchy persists because it serves a psychological function. By requiring us to sacrifice love for the sake of hierarchy, patriarchy protects us from the vulnerability of loving and becomes a defense against loss. Uncovering the powerful psychological mechanisms that underpin patriarchy, the authors show how forces beyond our awareness may be driving a politics that otherwise seems inexplicable.Trade Review“Taking on the long brewing battle between true democracy and the pervasive ‘ghost’ of patriarchy, this compact book exists in a category of its own. The voices of its authors are accessible, incisive and engaging—the perfect book to launch almost any conversation about our current messy psycho-political times.”Jill Gentile, author, Feminine Law: Freud, Free Speech, and the Voice of Desire “An original and powerful analysis of patriarchy; there is a freshness and vitality to the authors’ approach. Why Does Patriarchy Persist? should be compulsory reading in every discipline from law to literature, for it offers a framework in which numerous dilemmas, both practical and psychological, might be resolved.”Terri Apter, Newnham College, Cambridge"There are books that do what they set out to do: they make their points clearly, they argue something new, they uncover something for us. Carol Gilligan and Naomi Snider’s new book, Why Does Patriarchy Persist?, does more than that. It is a spark. It is something like a book-length speech act, both illocutionary and perlocutionary: in speaking, the authors bring their thesis into being, and with it a host of possibilities come alive within us. As we read, we believe intimately that what they say is so. We feel it and see it in our own lives; it cannot but leap up within us."The Public Seminar "Dr. Gilligan’s writing may frustrate because of its swirl of literary, personal and clinical anecdotes. There can be tangles and snarls of language. You might get lost in its allusions and references, particularly if you’re not up-to-date on your Sophocles, Old Testament tales or Woolf. But her voice on the page is as it is in real life: warm and inviting. Democracy, she said, is like love. It only works if everyone has a voice. Dr. Gilligan’s new book continues to try and universalize the intimate."

Book SynopsisKenneth Waltz’s 1979 Theory of International Politics is credited with bringing about a “scientific revolution” in the study of international relations – bringing the field into a new era of systematic study. The book is also a lesson in reasoning carefully and critically. Good reasoning is exemplified by arguments that move systematically, through carefully organised stages, taking into account opposing stances and ideas as they move towards a logical conclusion. Theory of International Politics might be a textbook example of how to go about structuring an argument in this way to produce a watertight case for a particular point of view.Waltz’s book begins by testing and critiquing earlier theories of international relations, showing their strengths and weaknesses, before moving on to argue for his own stance – what has since become known as “neorealism”. His aim was “to construct a theory of international politics that remedies the defects of present theories.” And this is precisely what he did; by showing the shortcomings of the prevalent theories of international relations, Waltz was then able to import insights from sociology to create a more comprehensive and realistic theory that took full account of the strengths of old schemas while also remedying their weaknesses – reasoning out a new theory in the process.Table of ContentsWays in to the Text Who was Kenneth Waltz?

Book SynopsisThis new edition of the highly successful Fundamentals of Development: The Psychology of Childhood has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect the exciting new findings in the thriving area of developmental psychology. The book addresses a number of fascinating questions including: Are children born good or bad? What do children understand about the mind? What roles do nature and nurture play in child development? As in the previous edition, the book follows a thematic approach and outlines the main areas of developmental psychology, including classic theories and studies, and offers a broad overview of contemporary research in the field. Each chapter addresses a key topic – such as theory of mind, attachment, and moral development - and is self-contained and comprehensive in its coverage. New chapters in this edition include a detailed look at methods in developmental psychology, an overview of developmental disorders, and an introduction to the burgeoning area of numerical development.The book is student-friendly, with all topics described in straightforward language, illustrated in full colour, and organized as standalone chapters. The text will make an excellent companion to introductory courses on developmental psychology, and for instructors there are high-quality lecture slides, and a bank of multiple choice questions. The text is written to be both accessible and comprehensive, and to provide an engaging overview for students and professionals who have little or no background in this area. Trade Review"Mitchell and Ziegler’s revised Fundamentals of Developmental Psychology is a delight. Whilst certain to become the standard text for many introductory and foundation courses in developmental psychology, it will also have a much broader appeal to professionals in health, education and social work. Throughout the book the authors develop their arguments utilizing a clever balance of classic texts and new research evidence to guide the reader through the big issues in developmental psychology. Their excellent style draws you in and makes learning fun." - David Coghill, University of Dundee, UK"This is an excellent introduction to the field of developmental psychology. I especially liked its coverage of developmental disorders, including ADHD, autism, SLI, and Williams Syndrome." - Robert Siegler, Carnegie Mellon University, USA"Mitchell and Ziegler’s Fundamentals of Developmental Psychology is an engaging introduction to the field of child development, current knowledge in the area, and the historical figures who brought us there. The addition of new chapters has added to the value of the book by introducing a greater discussion of scientific methodology, and by addressing developmental disorders." - Karen Turner, University of Queensland, Australia"This book covers all the basic topics one would expect in an introductory textbook of this sort. The authors are clearly experts in the field – their discussion of theory and methodology is detailed and appropriate, and the literature referenced is current. The book also contains chapters on specific topics that I have not seen in other textbooks, and I think the additions and revisions to this new edition have strengthened the book considerably. The result is a clear, thorough, and engaging introduction to the key ideas and methods of developmental psychology." - David Peebles, University of Huddersfield, UKMitchell and Ziegler’s revised Fundamentals of Developmental Psychology is a delight.

Book SynopsisIf âa picture is worth a thousand words,â this book provides an approach to help create professional pictures that productively and powerfully capture conversations and thinking for individual and collective learning. Individuals are bombarded by information, and organizations, managers, and teachers often lack a corresponding set of tools to make sense of this complexityâresulting in far too many âœdeath by bullet-pointâ presentations. This is that toolkit, also offering invitations to readers to extend their thinking past these tools to enable the creation (and co-creation with teams, learners, and clients) of graphical depictions, models, and metaphors to help people make sense of their world. This accessible book is constructed as a visual reference so readers can quickly pick out the specific tool or strategy they need, whether working with individuals and teams to promote self-awareness, develop emotional intelligence, improve communication, or articulate vision and strategy.<

Book SynopsisThis definitive work--now extensively revised with virtually all new chapters--has introduced generations of researchers to the psychological processes that underlie social behavior. What sets the book apart is its unique focus on the basic principles that guide theory building and research. Since work in the field increasingly transcends such boundaries as biological versus cultural or cognitive versus motivational systems, the third edition has a new organizational framework. Leading scholars identify and explain the principles that govern intrapersonal, interpersonal, intragroup, and intergroup processes, in chapters that range over multiple levels of analysis. The book's concluding section illustrates how social psychology principles come into play in specific contexts, including politics, organizational life, the legal arena, sports, and negotiation. New to This Edition *Most of the book is entirely new. *Stronger emphasis on the contextual factors that iTrade Review"I was bowled over by this book! It is an ode to ideas and their conceptual evolution into principles and theories. With 24 chapters ranging from the intrapersonal to the intergroup level, plus six chapters illustrating the principles at work, the third edition extends the prior edition substantially with new topics and the latest scholarship and applications. This masterfully edited and lucidly written intellectual feast will be appreciated by researchers as well as by graduate students and advanced psychology majors, and is a suitable text or companion to most--if not all--social psychology courses."--Constantine Sedikides, PhD, School of Psychology, University of Southampton, United Kingdom "This volume provides a panoramic view of classic and emerging topics in social psychology. The geographic diversity of the authors brings forth an exciting range of topics as well as offering up a more accurate perspective on the psychology of social behavior. The third edition of this work will be a treasured companion as you navigate human social nature as we understand it today."--Mahzarin R. Banaji, PhD, Richard Clarke Cabot Professor of Social Ethics, Harvard University "Bringing the social resoundingly back to social psychology, this third edition highlights intergroup processes, cultural systems, motivation, and meaning-making as social rather than individual processes. Chapters explore the deeply social nature of human evolution and the biological and neurological evidence supporting such basic processes as social bonds and empathy. I highly recommend this handbook to readers who want to attain a solid grounding in current perspectives, topics, and methodologies of social psychology."--Daphna Oyserman, PhD, Dean’s Professor of Psychology and Co-Director, Dornsife Center for Mind and Society, University of Southern California "The outstanding third edition of this important, well-regarded handbook reflects the editors' deep and up-to-date knowledge of the field. With an international scope, the book emphasizes classic and contemporary ideas, theories, and principles, rather than the all-too-common conglomeration of disjointed empirical findings. It offers a rich and stimulating foundation for graduate courses in social psychology and is an essential reference for researchers at all levels. The volume covers an unusually broad range, from evolutionary psychology and core intrapsychic processes to interpersonal relationships, intra- and intergroup relations, and real-world applications in law, organizational behavior, sports, and politics. With its many new chapters and highly accomplished authors, this volume captures the excitement and richness of social psychology today."--Phillip R. Shaver, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Psychology Emeritus, University of California, Davis “Social psychology in one volume? Not if you want a complete assemblage of significant findings. But if you are looking for a conceptually integrated collection of the basic ideas and principles on which social psychology is built, you cannot do better than this book. Leading experts provide the theoretical foundations of the discoveries that have shaped the field. The breadth of the editors’ approach makes this a comprehensive and highly readable account of current social psychology.”--Fritz Strack, PhD, Emeritus Professor of Psychology, University of Würzburg, Germany-The book is excellent because it contains so much information over 30 chapters and 638 pages. It is written by an international collection of experts in the field. The third edition justifies replacing the second because it has been 13 years and research has increased dramatically over that time span. Readers will not be disappointed by this Guilford volume. *****!--Doody’s Review Service, 05/07/2021ƒƒIt is a must for empirical researchers in the field....Highly recommended.
