Springer Nature Switzerland AG Interrogating Psychiatric Narratives of Madness:
Book SynopsisThis book challenges the perception of the psychiatric chart as a neutral and objective text. The chapters included in this book coalesce to reveal the psychiatric chart as a text that is, in fact, “storied” by institutional ideology that reflects, reinforces, reinterprets, and, at times, resists gendered, raced, sexualized, and classed norms, values, and presuppositions. Intersectional analysis highlights the nuanced ways in which dominant ideologies are activated in chart documentation to produce qualitatively specific psychiatric narratives of distress and related responses in the psychiatric institution. The book serves as a much-needed resource for mental health professionals, education and training programs, and researchers that meaningfully takes into account the social and structural materiality of people’s lives and its impact on experiences of distress. It will also appeal to scholars investigating equity in health care across the fields of Critical Psychology, Disability Studies, Social Work, Allied Health, Mad Studies and Social Justice.Trade Review“The volume should be of interest to a readership concerned with interdisciplinarity and dialogue across academic and practitioner disciplinary boundaries. For the educators of mental health professionals, the chapters will be a useful resource … .” (Isobel Moore and Philip John Archard, Journal of Social Work Practice, May 2, 2023)Table of Contents

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Queer Theory and Psychology: Gender, Sexuality,
Book SynopsisThis timely volume examines the ways in which queer and trans theory are supported by recent findings from psychological science. In it, Ella Ben Hagai and Eileen Zurbriggen explore foundational ideas from queer thought and transgender theory including the instability of gender, variation in sexualities, intersectional theory, and trans writers’ rejection of the “born in the wrong body” narrative. These key ideas are juxtaposed with innovative empirical psychological research on the fluidity of gender, the proliferation of sexual identities, and transgender affirming medical and psychological care. This book explains the history and politics of key ideas shaping the study of the psychology of gender and sexuality today. It also describes the ways that the queer and trans* revolutions have changed how psychologists understand gender, sexuality, and transgender identities. It will be especially helpful for readers interested in interdisciplinary scholarship.Table of ContentsPreface.-Chapter 1 Introduction: intersections between queer theory and psychological research .- Chapter 2.- The history of queer theory and activist politics.-Chapter 3 The variability of sexualities: intersections between queer theory and psychological research on sexuality- Chapter 4 The instability of gender identity: intersections between queer theory and psychological research on gender.- Chapter 5 Trans* as a space: intersections between transgender theory and psychological research on transgender identity written with Noel R.Lugo.- Chapter 6 Conclusion: cross-disciplinary research and queer solidarity.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Men’s Issues and Men’s Mental Health: An
Book SynopsisTraditionally, men’s mental health woes have been attributed to male stubbornness and rigid notions of masculinity. However, there is growing recognition that mental health issues in men are socially determined by a range of factors including family, educational, occupational, and legal issues. These and a variety of other social issues have been collectively labelled ‘men’s issues’ and are being increasingly linked to negative men’s mental health outcomes. This book gives an overview of men’s mental health as well as related men’s issues, adopting a public-health-inspired approach examining the research linking social exposures and mental health outcomes. The book is unique in that it synthesizes and explores men’s issues, men’s mental health, and social determinants in a holistic and integrated manner through assessment of the social scientific and psychiatric literature.In this book, the author discusses the social determinants of men’s mental health and accompanying psychosocial interventions, moving beyond one-dimensional discussions of masculinity. Among the topics covered are: The Social Determinants of Male Suicide Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in Young Males: The Medicalization of Boyhood? Why Do Men Have Low Rates of Formal Mental Health Service Utilization? An Analysis of Social and Systemic Barriers to Care, and Discussion of Promising Male-Friendly Practices The Gender Gap in Education: Understanding Educational Underachievement in Young Males and its Relationship to Adverse Mental Health Employment, Unemployment and Workplace Issues in Relation to Men’s Mental Health Men’s Issues and Men’s Mental Health: An Introductory Primer is essential reading for healthcare practitioners and social service providers including psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, occupational therapists, counsellors, teachers, charity workers, health promotion specialists, and public health officers. It is also a useful text for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in health care, social services, public health, epidemiology and social sciences, particularly sociology, psychology, and gender studies. Finally, the book can be read and understood by an intelligent lay reader, making it accessible for the wider public.Table of ContentsChapter 1: An Introduction to Men’s Issues and Men’s Mental Health 1.1 Beyond Masculinity 1.2 Men’s Issues and Men’s Mental Health 1.3 Common Issues 1.3.1 Gender Stereotypes of Men 1.3.2 Gender Empathy Gap 1.3.3 Male Gender Blindness 1.4 COVID-19 1.5 Conclusion PART I: Men’s Mental Health Chapter 2: The Social Determinants of Male Suicide 2.1 The Global Financial Crisis and its Repercussions 2.2 Which men are killing themselves? 2.2.1 Middle-Aged Men 2.2.2 Men in Rural and Remote Regions 2.2.3 White Men 2.2.4 Indigenous and Aboriginal Men 2.2.5 Military Veterans 2.2.6 Men Involved in the Criminal Justice System 2.3 Social Context and Common Risk Factors 2.3.1 Employment Issues 2.3.2 Marital Status, Divorce and Family Issues 2.3.3 Mental Disorders and Substance Use Issues 2.4 Social Integration and Social Connection 2.5 Conclusion Chapter 3: Wasted Lives: Substance Abuse, Substance Use Disorder and Addictions in Men 3.1 Addictions and Substance Abuse in DSM-5 3.2 Alcohol-Related Disorders and Alcohol Use 3.3 Cannabis-Related Disorders and Cannabis Use 3.4 Opioid-Related Disorders and Opioid Use 3.5 Gambling Disorder 3.6 Internet Gaming Disorder 3.7 Etiology and Causation 3.7.1 Educational Failure and Subsequent Failure to Launch 3.7.2 Unemployment and Employment Issues 3.7.3 Divorce, Separation and Loneliness 3.8 The Consequences of SUD and Addictions 3.9 Treatments 3.10 Conclusion Chapter 4: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in Young Males: The Medicalization of Boyhood? 4.1 What Is ADHD? 4.2 The Epidemiology of ADHD 4.3 US Studies on ADHD 4.4 Risk Factors 4.4.1 Middle-Childhood Years 4.4.2 Childhood Maltreatment and Neglect 4.4.3 Low Family Income 4.4.4 Low Parental Education 4.4.5 Single-Mother Families 4.5 Educational Impact 4.6 Impact into Adulthood 4.7 Medication Issues 4.7.1 Side Effects and Misuse 4.7.2 Absolute Gender Differences in Medication Usage 4.7.3 Relative Gender Differences in Medication Usage 4.8 The Medicalization Hypothesis 4.8.1 The Psychiatric Industry 4.8.2 Big Pharma 4.8.3 Mothers and Medicalization 4.8.4 Schools and Education 4.8.5 People with an ADHD Diagnosis 4.9 Social Control 4.10 Conclusion Chapter 5: Risk Factors and Rates of Depression in Men: Do Males Have Greater Resilience, or Is Male Depression Underrecognized and Underdiagnosed? 5.1 The Prevalence of Depression 5.2 Gender Differentials in Prevalence and Treatment 5.3 Male Resilience 5.4 An Artefactual Difference? 5.5 Bias in Diagnostic Criteria: A Male Depressive Syndrome? 5.6 Risk Factors 5.6.1 Low Education Attainment 5.6.2 Unemployment and Financial Strain 5.6.3 Disability 5.6.4 Homosexual Orientation 5.6.5 Divorce 5.6.6 Ethno-Racial Status 5.7 Paternal Postpartum Depression 5.8 Conclusion Chapter 6: Why Do Men Have Low Rates of Formal Mental Health Service Utilization?

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Queer and Trans Madness: Struggles for Social
Book SynopsisThis book urges those invested in social justice for 2SLGBTQ people to interrogate the biomedical model of mental illness beyond the diagnoses that specifically target gender and sexual dissidence. In this first comprehensive application of Mad Studies to queer and trans experiences of mental distress, Pilling advances a broad critique of the biomedical model of mental illness as it pertains to 2SLGBTQ people, arguing that Mad Studies is especially amenable to making sense of queer and trans madness. Based on empirical data from two qualitative research studies, this book includes analyses of inpatient chart documentation from a psychiatric hospital and interviews with those who have experienced distress. Using an intersectional lens, Pilling critically examines what constitutes mental health treatment and the impacts of medical strategies on mad queer and trans people. Ultimately, Queer and Trans Madness: Struggles for Social Justice explores the emancipatory promise of queer and trans madness, advocating for more resources to respond to crisis and distress in ways that are non-coercive, non-carceral, and honour autonomy as well as interdependence within 2SLGBTQ communities.

Birkhauser Verlag AG Voyeurism: A Case Study
Book SynopsisThis book is amongst the first of its kind in presenting a case study of voyeurism from a forensic psychology perspective and within the societal context. Simon Duff provides an in-depth description of the assessment, formulation, and treatment of a voyeur and offers a theoretical basis for the behaviour. The book begins by covering a variety of explanations and previous treatments for voyeurs, including learning theories and the aversive treatments that they give rise to. It then moves on to focus on one specific case study, a young man who has exhibited diversity in his voyeuristic offending, before examining relevant details of his experiences in order to develop a formulation of his thinking and behaviour. The formulation and resultant intervention are clearly and accessibly presented, followed by a discussion of how this case provides direction for further research, developments in our theoretical basis for understanding voyeurism, and directions for assessment and intervention.Table of ContentsChapter 1 Introduction.- Chapter 2 Voyeurism in context.- Chapter 3 Voyeurism.- Chapter 4 Explanations of voyeurism.- Chapter 5 Approaches to treatment.- Chapter 6 The case study: KS.- Chapter 7 Clinical analysis and formulation.- Chapter 8 Intervention.- Chapter 9 Outcomes and discussion.

Peter Lang AG The Gender Balanced Scorecard: A Management Tool
Book SynopsisLabour markets and demographics are changing. Highly qualified personnel is likely to become scarcer and for this reason it is important that more highly qualified women participate in the labour market. WorkLifeBalance and gender mainstreaming are issues that become important and organisations will need practical instruments to assist with the implementation of such initiatives. This publication aims at researching the use of the gender balanced scorecard as (long-term) change management instrument to implement gender mainstreaming in organisational culture. Case studies and in-depth interviews are the basis for the empirical research done in six organisations in Germany and the Netherlands. This research shows that a gender balanced scorecard could be a useful instrument for management, but before it can be introduced general awareness towards gender initiatives will have to be increased in organisations.

Peter Lang AG Affective Aspects of Learning: Adolescents’
Book SynopsisThis empirical study describes and analyzes adolescents’ affective and cognitive processes involved in learning mathematics. Correlation-regression statistics reveal that positive emotions positively correlated with learning strategy use, whilst negative emotions negatively correlated with learning strategy use in general; math self-concept and achievement values positively correlated with positive emotions, and negatively correlated with negative emotions. In addition, math achievement was compromised in particular by negative environmental factors and negative affect. Furthermore, math self-concept was found to mediate the impact of environmental factors on emotions. Since math self-concept could buffer negative learning environment’s impact on negative affect, maintaining and enhancing students’ math self-concept is important in both school and home contexts.Table of ContentsContents: Affective aspects of learning – Adolescents’ affective, motivational, and cognitive processes in learning mathematics – Math self-concept – Achievement values – Achievement emotions and motivation – Learning strategies – Self-regulated learning – Learning environment – Dynamic affective-cognitive learning processes and outcome model – Pedagogical implications: multiple channels to support development and enhance achievement – Cultural impact on achieving motivation and emotions.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Gleichstellung im Feuerwehrwesen: „Gut Wehr!“ und
Book SynopsisIn den letzten Jahrzehnten sind Frauen sukzessive in vormals rein männerdominierte Berufsbereiche eingetreten. Eine solche Männerdomäne stellt auch das Feuerwehrwesen dar: Während Freiwillige Feuerwehren zum Teil regen Zulauf von Frauen und Mädchen verzeichnen, sind höhere Funktionen und berufliche Positionen im Feuerwehrwesen noch weitgehend männlich besetzt. Ilona Horwath untersucht die Gründe dafür und analysiert die Entwicklung von Gleichstellungsprozessen auf internationaler, nationaler und regionaler Ebene. Die Autorin präsentiert Ergebnisse einer regionalen Fallstudie, die mit qualitativen und quantitativen Methoden nachzeichnet, wie es zur Vergeschlechtlichung dieser Organisationen kommt. Im Zentrum stehen dabei die Erfahrungen und Einschätzungen der ehrenamtlichen wie professionellen Feuerwehrleute. Welche Geschlechterorientierungen dominieren im Feuerwehrwesen und inwiefern fördern oder behindern diese eine gleichstellungsorientierte Integration von Frauen und Mädchen?

Springer Gewaltfreie Männlichkeitsideale: Psychologische
Book SynopsisWahre Männer müssen kämpfen und „ihre“ Frauen beschützen. Solche Ideale haben in Krisen- und Konfliktzeiten Hochkonjunktur. Dieses Buch zeigt wie es gelingt, Männlichkeitsvorstellungen zu schaffen, die sich von Nationalismus, Gewalt und Sexismus abgrenzen und die sich nicht im „luftleeren Raum“ bewegen. Die Autorin untersucht dies anhand von zivilgesellschaftlichen Friedensprojekten in Bosnien-Herzegowina, Serbien und Kroatien. Männlichkeitsideale sind nicht nur für Friedens- und Konflikttheorien relevant, sondern auch für die Praxis des Peacebuilding. Die Autorin legt gender- bzw. männlichkeitsorientierte Gütekriterien vor. Sie erprobt ein Modell der Evaluation von Friedensarbeit, das über eine reine Orientierung an Wirkungen hinausgeht. Trade Review“... einzelne Kapitel gut separat gelesen werden können. Dadurch und wegen seines sehr guten Überblicks über die relevante Forschungsliteratur ist das Buch insbesondere für Uni-Seminare empfehlenswert.” (Brigita Malenica, in: Peripherie, Jg. 37, Heft 148, 2017)Table of ContentsKrieg und Geschlecht – Konsequenzen für die Praxis.- Gütekriterien für eine Männlichkeitsperspektive in der Friedensarbeit.- Modell zur theoriebasierten Evaluation von Friedensarbeit.- Die Zerfallskriege Jugoslawiens aus gendertheoretischer Sicht.- Wehrdienstverweigerung: Gewaltfreiheit und Sexualität.- Kriegsveteranen in der Friedensarbeit.- Kunst auf der Straße.- Intersektionale Verschiebungen entlang der Achsen Nation, Geschlecht und Heteronormativität.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Soziobiologie: Die Evolution von Kooperation und Konkurrenz
Book SynopsisSoziobiologie ist den evolutionsbiologischen Ursprüngen und Gründen tierlichen und menschlichen Sozialverhaltens auf der Spur. In diesem Buch werden Strategien sozialer Konkurrenz, also Gewalt, Kampf und Dominanz behandelt, aber auch Kooperation, Altruismus und Solidarität. Die Interessen der beiden Geschlechtern sind Treibstoff der sexuellen Selektion. Kooperation ist also immer auch brüchiger Kompromiss im Kampf der Geschlechter zu verstehen. Außerdem geht es um die neuesten Erkenntnisse zur Evolution der Eltern/Kind-Verhältnisses und um ein Brutpflegeverhalten, das Kindesvernachlässigung und zugleich auch tief empfundene elterliche Zuneigung und Fürsorge möglich macht. Beschrieben wird, wie eine evolutionäre Perspektive auf das menschliche Verhalten zum modernen Menschenbild beiträgt. Das Buch richtet sich an Studierende und Lehrende der Biologie, Anthropologie, Psychologie und Sozialwissenschaften und an alle an der evolutionären Geschichte des menschlichen Sozialverhaltens Interessierte.Table of Contents1 Paradigma, Konzepte und Modelle der Soziobiologie.- 1.1 .- Verhalten, Evolution und biologische Anpassung.- 1.2 Was charakterisiert eine Angepasstheit im menschlichen Verhalten.- Wissenschaftstheoretische und forschungsstrategische Aspekte der Soziobiologie.- 2 Kooperation und Konflikt in sozialen Gruppen.- 2.1 Die Evolution sozialer Lebensform.- 2.2 Soziale Strategien.- 3 Geschlechterbeziehungen.- 3.1 Geschlechtliche Konkurrenz und Partnerwahl.- 3.2 Fortpflanzungssysteme.- 4 Fortpflanzungsstrategien.- 4.1 Lebensgeschichtsevolution und die Optimierung des Elterninvestments.- 4.2 Adaptive Gründe für unterschiedliches Elterninvestment.- 4.3 Bevorzugung eigener Nachkommen, gemeinschaftliche Aufzucht und Adoptionen.- 4.4 Stiefverhältnisse und Vaterschaftsunsicherheit.- 4.5 Strategien von Großeltern und anderen Verwandten.- 4.6 Eltern/Kind-Konflikte.- 5 Soziobiologie, Anthropologie und menschliche Kultur.- 5.1 Die biologische Evolution der Kulturfähigkeit.- 5.2 Intelligenz, Erkenntnisfähigkeit, Selbstbewusstsein, Rationalität.- 5.3 Moral.- 5.4 Religion.
