Too often they treat decolonisation, social and material justice as tagged-on perspectives, providing no more than basic lip-service to their existence and influence. I have often thought that I might be searching for the impossible. This book has made the impossible possible. It will be responsible for educating and transforming future generations of social psychology students. * Masi Noor, Keele University, UK *This book takes a revolutionary approach to social psychology. It disrupts the hegemony of traditional social psychology in a constructive and an enlightened manner. The writing style and level of academic scholarship, coupled with the underlying ideology of each chapter, are so superlatively good that I would not hesitate to recommend this text to academics and students around the world. * Maboe Mokgobi, Monash South Africa, South Africa *A gift to students and established scholars alike. Hodgetts and colleagues have developed an account of social psychology that is rejuvenating and inspiring. This is social psychology as it should be. * Kieran O’Doherty, University of Guelph, Canada *This textbook presents a locally responsive, yet internationally-situated, approach to social theory, integrating key thought traditions in psychology. Expertly crafted pedagogical features provide students with a gateway to the intellectually rigorous content. * Jade Le Grice, The University of Auckland, New Zealand *This book has done more to rekindle my enthusiasm for social psychology than any other textbook. Moving away decisively from the tired recycling of perspectives and even content that characterise so many of its competitor titles, Social Psychology and Everyday Life returns the discipline to the urgency of the world we live in today. * Desmond Painter, Stellenbosch University, South Africa *This is a remarkable textbook.

Rowman & Littlefield Publishers The Power of Names Uncovering the Mystery of What
Book SynopsisPerhaps we donât think of our names very often, having heard them from infancy, but names have significance we may not even be aware of. The Power of Names explores the wonder of naming phenomena, naming rituals and name-changing, as well as the profound psychological impact, both conscious and unconscious, that our name has on each of us.Trade ReviewHimes, a psychoanalyst in private practice in Canada, blends psychology and sociology to offer an account of the conscious and unconscious power of personal names. She analyzes how names call one into existence and the association of names with power, choice, and survival in a world that recognizes individuals chiefly by what they are called. Particular attention is paid to the valuing and force of names across cultures and the effects that voluntary and involuntary name changing have on the personality structures of individuals. Drawing on her clinical work, her autobiographical relation to names, and her research into the broader historical and social meanings of names, Himes offers a lucid account of what is largely and otherwise unarticulated, namely, just how powerful proper names are. The audience for this book will include those interested in psychology, psychoanalysis, and mythology. * CHOICE *There are all kinds of fascinating questions to explore about the whole phenomenon of naming and it is explored so beautifully in [this] book…. She has written about this interesting facet of human existence in a very intriguing fashion in part from the perspective of her own Jewish faith, but the book certainly goes beyond that as well and touches on many different traditions and legacies…. [This] book spurs us on to think about our names and the importance of names. * WGTD-The Morning Show *A fascinating book…. so many great stories as to how names have come up. I highly recommend this book. * The Maggie Linton Show *The author’s wide-ranging examples throughout the book offer non-specialists a host of ideas to spark further reading…. [T]he book’s culturally and historically wide range of examples makes it an appealing read to non-specialists with an interest in names…. The author’s own name and family history are shaped by the modern history and diaspora of European Jews, and it is in the passages about the challenges and opportunities of identity in Jewish life that the book (in both parts) is most compelling and the mix of personal experience and history most coherent. The author’s curiosity, enthusiasm, and empathy across cultures are also apparent. * Names: A Journal of Onomastics *This thoughtful and poetic book is not only about names and language, but contemplates a larger picture regarding freedom of thought and the universal human desire to make life significant despite its brevity and apparent absurdity. Fundamental to the human condition, writes Soren Kierkegaard, is the distinction between recollection and repetition, recollection being what is inside us that we inherit from the past, a looking backward - as opposed to the higher form of repetition, which delineates our capacity to look forward. Lyrical, searching, Himes grapples with how we are bound by the string of letters we carry from childhood and how, looking forward, we take them up and continually reinterpret their meaning. * The American Journal of Psychoanalysis *Mavis Himes' book is an astonishing exploit. She successfully combines two clearly separate genres, autobiography and essay, making both of them enrich each other. Maybe her secret lies in her dedication to psychoanalytic clinic and discourse. The classical questions of the proper name are dealt from the outside with philosophy and from the inside, the result of a fruitful personal life. Thus, she leads the reader to question him/herself about the power and the influence of the names of all the acquaintances in their lives. -- Néstor A. Braunstein, MD, psychoanalyst, postgraduate professor at universities in Argentina, Mexico and Spain

Book Synopsis'One of the most moving books of the new year' STYLIST'Gorgeous and unsettling' NEW YORK TIMES'Brilliant and devastating...tender and lacerating' PANDORA SYKES'One of the literary world's most promising new voices' REDI have lived in disaster and disaster has lived in me. Our shared languages are thunder and reverberation.When Nadia Owusu was two years old her mother abandoned her and her baby sister and fled from Tanzania back to the US. When she was thirteen her beloved Ghanaian father died of cancer. She and her sister were left alone, with a stepmother they didn't like, adrift. Nadia Owusu is a woman of many languages, homelands and identities. She grew up in Rome, Dar-es-Salaam, Addis Ababa, Kumasi, Kampala and London. And for every new place there was a new language, a new identity and a new home. At times she has felt stateless, motherless and identity-less. At others, she has had multiple identities at war within her. It's no wonder she started to feel fault lines in her sense of self. It's no wonder that those fault lines eventually ruptured. Aftershocks is the account of how she hauled herself out of the wreckage. It is the intimate story behind the news of immigration and division dominating contemporary politics. Nadia Owusu's astonishingly moving and incredibly timely memoir is a nuanced portrait of globalisation from the inside in a fractured world in crisis.Trade ReviewA beautiful and ultimately redemptive story, written in lyrical prose that calls to mind Audre Lorde, Natasha Trethewey, and Toni Morrison. -- Vogue.com, The Absolute Best Summer ReadsOne of the literary world's most promising new voices . . . An intimate look behind the division of today's world. * Red *Triumphant: the survivor's account of a thoughtful, passionate young writer grappling with life's demons -- Claire Messud * Harper's Magazine *Powerful . . .

Tackling themes of belonging, identity, race, notions of home and the ripple effects of trauma . . . Owusu's prose is as poignant as it is emotionally charged . . . Triumphant. * Cosmopolitan *Striking * Vogue US *Owusu's personal history intertwines with the political and geographical to create one of the most moving books of the new year. * Stylist *A devastating memoir about identity, immigration and fractured society from the daughter of an Armenian American mother and Ghanaian father. * Independent *In a literary landscape rich with diaspora memoirs, Owusu's painful yet radiant story rises to the forefront. The daughter of an Armenian-American mother who abandoned her and a heroic Ghanaian father who died when she was thirteen, Nadia drifted across continents in a trek that she renders here with poetic, indelible prose. * Oprah.com *An engaging and reflective new memoir focused on universal themes of home, abandonment, identity and autonomy. * Ms. Magazine *A memoir that broods on lost identity and statelessness. * Elle UK *A timely memoir, revealing the real lives behind the headlines of immigration that dominate our media, as Owusu - who grew up in Rome, Dar-es-Salaam, Addis Ababa, Kumasi, Kampala and London - shares her fascinating story. * Grazia *Extraordinarily intense . . . the way [Owusu] sustains her intensity is astonishing. Her fierce intelligence and commitment embrace the complexity and urgency of the issues . . . This is a book of almost ceaseless questions but undoubtedly the key one is: what is home? * Irish Examiner *Nadia Owusu's debut book tells the incredible story of her childhood. How does a girl - abandoned by her mother at age 2 and orphaned at 13 when her beloved father dies - find her place in the world? Aftershocks is the story of Nadia creating her own solid ground across countries and continents. This is an exceptionally gripping and hard-to-put-down memoir of a remarkable young woman - I can't wait to see what she does next. -- Malala Yousafzai * Recommended *A stunningly written, heart wrenching book that completely took me by surprise. The best book I've read so far this year. -- Abi Dare, author of The Girl With the Louding VoiceBrilliant and devastating, this memoir is an exploration of displacement, told through earthquakes both real and allegorical. Nadia, abandoned by her mother as a young child, and moved all over the world by a diplomat father, writes about her struggle to find a peace she can call home in a way that is both tender and lacerating. -- Pandora SykesA white-hot interrogation of the stories we carry in our bodies and the power they have to tear us apart. Owusu illuminates the blood and bones wrought by our borders and teaches us the necessity of owning our narratives when personal and collective histories have been shattered by violence. -- Jessica Andrews, author of SaltwaterIn reading Aftershocks, I went on an incredible (and moving) journey with a young woman whose past and present play out across Africa, Europe and America. I felt acutely Owusu's pain and the joy of her self-discovery through her intense and intimate prose. What a moving and beautifully written personal history, one infused with questions of post-colonial identity and the challenge of modern womanhood. I loved the book. I loved her voice. -- Xiaolu Guo, author of Once Upon a Time in the East and A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for LoversAftershocks is brilliant and devastating. Nadia Owusu employs language with precision and care, reckoning with herself and her various histories with a beautiful, tender rhythm. Her words will stay with me for a long time. -- Caleb Azumah Nelson, author of Open WaterNadia Owusu has lived multiple lives. And each has demanded much of her. She has met and surpassed those demands with her memoir, Aftershocks. Owusu is half-Armenian, half-Ghanaian; socially privileged and psychologically wounded. Her task and burden are threefold: to chronicle the historical wounds and legacies of each country; to chart her own descent into grief, mania and madness; to begin the work of emotional reconstruction. She does so with unerring honesty and in prose that is both rigorous and luminous. -- Margo Jefferson, author of Negroland: A MemoirNadia Owusu's Aftershocks bleeds honesty. It is a majestically rendered telling of all the history, hurt and love a body can contain. A wonderful work of art made of so many stories and histories it is bursting with both harshness and perseverance. An incredible debut. * Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, author of New York Times bestseller Friday Black *Aftershocks is more than just a book - it is delicate, intricate choreography. This memoir is a testimony to how certain books and writers can tell you their story in a way that mirrors your own. Even if the facts of that story are different, the emotion is familiar. Owusu is that writer. She has created a book full of shared emotional memories and I wanted to sit in those memories with her for as long as I could. Nadia Owusu is powerful, beautiful, poetic, and Aftershocks is a testimony to her commitment to constructing towering, lovingly-rendered sentences. Quite simply, Aftershocks is one of the most beautiful books I have ever read. -- Bassey Ikpi, New York Times bestselling author of I'm Lying but I'm telling the TruthAftershocks is a triptych feat of style: the lucid language, the masterful handling of time, the brilliance of its seismic theme. It's also an astute exploration of the long legacy of colonialism. Owusu is a product of that political and cultural collision, and one of the great gifts of this compelling memoir is the moving narrative of her reconciling that identity. And if that weren't enough, Aftershocks is an indelible portrait of Owusu's resilience in the face of almost unfathomable familial trauma as well as her immortal love for her father. -- Mitchell S. Jackson, author of Survival MathThis earth-shattering memoir uses the aftershock - both literal and metaphorical - as a framing device and inspiration. Owusu explores the geopolitical, geological, and psychological traumas that have marked her young life, from moving between countries across Africa and Europe as the daughter of a United Nations employee to her estrangement from her mother and her father's eventual death, as well as living through a civil war in Ethiopia and the 9/11 attacks (to name a few!). * Entertainment Weekly *A stunning, visceral book about the ways that our stories-of loss, of love, of borders-leave permanent marks on our bodies and minds. * Booklist *Extraordinary . . . A writer to watch. -- Bookseller, Editor’s ChoiceEngrossing . . . an impressive debut memoir. [Owusu is] a promising writer. * Kirkus *In her enthralling memoir, Whiting Award-winner Owusu (So Devilish a Fire) assesses the impact of key events in her life via the metaphor of earthquakes . . .

Jason Aronson Inc. Publishers Freud and His Mother: Preoedipal Aspects of
Book SynopsisDeborah Margolis is not on a Freud-bashing expedition, nor is she engaged in political idealization. Rather, she takes us on a journey guided by Freud's idea that our psychological complexes are sources of our weaknesses and our strengths. Although Freud actively sought to lead his biographers astray, Margolis's detailed knowledge of the terrain and her psychoanalytically trained perspective directs us to a fascinating exploration of 'Freud's preoedipal complexes which have so richly endowed our civilization. Margolis introduces us to mother Amalia as well as to her family of origin. We find ourselves in the home of Amalia and Jacob Freud, observing the family interactions. We become acquainted with Freud's wife, Martha - her background, their courtship and marriage, and her place in Freud's life. Margolis also explores the ofttimes passionate ebb and flow of Freud's relationships with significant persons. We are privy to an account of Breuer and his personal and professional relationship with Freud. Fliess also emerges as a primary player in Freud's development. Others, such as Jones, Schur, Zweig, and Freud's children, appear more as reporters than influencers. The significance of Margolis's work derives from her overall scholarship, especially the selection and use of primary sources: Freud's published works, personal correspondence, and firsthand accounts of persons close to Freud. She uses secondary sources only as a comparison or contrast to her own conclusions. Her modus operandi is to raise a question, provide relevant information in the form of quotes carefully culled from primary sources, and subtly invite the reader to draw inferences. Then she presents her conclusions. Who should read Freud and His Mother? Without question, all Freud scholars will scrutinize and evaluate the work for years to come. All psychoanalytic psychohistorians will be intrigued by Margolis's selection and presentation of data and her conclusions.Table of ContentsChapter 1 I Am the Mother Chapter 2 Keep Well for Your Sigmund Chapter 3 I Went to See Breuer Chapter 4 You Are the Only Other Chapter 5 My Predilection for the Prehistoric Has Remained the Same Chapter 6 I Am Writing So Much for You Chapter 7 The Journey Is Long

Rowman & Littlefield Portrait of the Artist as a Young Patient:
Book SynopsisPortrait of the Artist as a Young Patient, the first book of non-fiction written by Gerald Alper, is also the first serious attempt to explore in depth the dynamics of the yet-to-be recognized, unfulfilled and usually perplexed fledgling artist. The artist tries to live in two separate worlds: a factual, linear, banal, reality-driven outer world that is best kept at arm's length; and a creatively organized, aesthetically orchestrated, dramatically engaging inner world that is forever being obsessively cultivated. Indeed, facilitating the patient in his or her efforts to forge a usable bridge between these generally discontinuous worlds is no small part of the task of the therapist who elects to work with such young artists.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Will I Still Be Me?: Finding a Continuing Sense
Book SynopsisWhat does a dementia diagnosis mean for an individual's sense of self? Christine Bryden shares her insider view on living with dementia and explains how a continuing sense of self is possible after diagnosis and as the condition develops.Encouraging a deeper understanding of how individuals live meaningfully with dementia, the book challenges the dominant story of people with dementia 'fading away' to eventually become an 'empty shell'. It explores what it means to be an embodied self with feelings and emotions, how individuals can relate to others despite cognitive changes and challenges to communications, and what this means for the inclusion of people with dementia in society.Trade ReviewChristine's insider account of dementia, focusing on the continuing sense of self in the disease, brings a powerful message of hope for people who have dementia, their families and health care providers. People with dementia are still people of worth, even in the face of increasing cognitive decline and memory dysfunction. -- Rev Prof Elizabeth MacKinlay, CAPS, Australian Centre for Christianity and Culture, St Mark's National Theological Centre and School of Theology, Charles Stuart UniversityChristine Bryden demonstrates powerfully that, despite dementia, her self and desire to improve her community are intact, that people living with dementia can enjoy mutually positive relationships with others and that we honor our own humanity ever more deeply when we honor the humanity of people living with dementia. -- Steven R. Sabat, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Psychology, Georgetown University, Washington, D.C., U.S.A.The question of what makes "me" me and how I can hold on to my sense of self in the midst of the challenges of dementia is to say the least, challenging. What is it that holds me in my selfhood and identity when I seem to be forgetting all of the old markers that held me in place? Christine Bryden offers a profound challenge to such false assumptions. Through narrative, personal reflection and enlightening philosophical reflection, Christine opens up fresh space for hope within which the complex cadences of personal and communal selfhood can be understood in ways that enable people truly to live with dementia. -- Rev. Professor John Swinton, Professor in Practical Theology and Pastoral Care, King's College University of AberdeenChristine Bryden is a remarkable woman, and a pioneering dementia advocate, one I am proud to call a friend. Will I Still Be Me? is a tribute to her continued commitment to improve the lives of all people with dementia, gives us hope, and deep insight into how her spirituality has supported her to live positively with dementia. Christine has given the world another great gift; her writing, her research and her appraisal of an insider's view of how dementia affects so much more than one individual. -- Kate Swaffer, Human Rights Activist and author of What the Hell Happened to My Brain?Table of Contents1.

Imprint Academic Selfhood, Autism and Thought Insertion
Book SynopsisThis book, a reprint of a special issue of the Journal of Consciousness Studies, presents engaging and informative analysis of three interrelated notions, namely: selfhood, the first-person pronoun ''I'', and the first-person perspective. Philosophers have long debated about these notions on non-empirical grounds, often focusing on the question of whether the first-person pronoun ''I'', beyond its role as a grammatical term, has an underlying implication for the ontology of selfhood. Philosophers continuously grapple with whether the first-person pronoun I' is a referring expression and, if it is, what its referent is or could be. To give an adequate treatment of such questions, philosophers have begun working across the relevant disciplines. This book highlights some excellent examples of the complex nature of first-person thoughts as they figure in linguistics, autism, thought insertion in schizophrenia, and the phenomenon of mental autonomy. In Selfhood, Autism and Thought Insertion, many of the leading philosophers working on this issue, as well as a few emerging scholars, have written 12 new essays addressing questions besetting the ontology of selfhood. The essays address topics as diverse as reflections on E.J. Lowe's non-Cartesian substance dualism, physical determinism, the metaphysics and anti-metaphysics of the self, animalism, neo-Lockean persons, rationality and the first person, whether the first person is essentially a linguistic concept, first-person and third-person perspectives and autism, consciousness, the first-person perspective and neuroimaging, thought insertion, and mental autonomy. The contributors to this volume do not agree in all of the details associated with the notion of selfhood, yet they all have a common conviction that the central questions besetting it must be taken seriously.

Equinox Publishing Ltd Archetypes in Religion and Beyond: A Practical
Book SynopsisThe Jungian concept of archetypes is of immense value for critically distinguishing what is potentially of universal practical value in religious and other cultural traditions, and separating this from the dogmatic elements. However, Jung encumbered the concept of archetypes with debatable constructions like the 'collective unconscious' that are unnecessary for understanding their practical function. This book puts forward a far-reaching new theory of archetypes that is functional without being reductive. At the centre of this is the idea that archetypes are adaptations to help us maintain inspiration over time. Humans are such distractable beings that they need constant reminders to maintain integration with their most sustainable intentions: reminders using the profound power of symbol linked to embodied experience. This multi-disciplinary book weaves together religious studies, ethical philosophy, the psychology of bias, the neuroscience of brain lateralisation, the linguistics of embodied meaning, the feedback loops of systems theory, with a lifetime's experience of Buddhist practice and appreciation of symbolism in the arts: all with the aim of producing a fresh understanding of the role of archetypes in religion and beyond, that can also be directly applied in practice.Table of ContentsIntroduction 1. What is an Archetype? 2. The Projection of Archetypes 3. The Integration of Archetypes 4. Categorization of Archetypes 5. Archetypes in Religious Traditions 6.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Personality Disorder: Temperament or Trauma?
Book SynopsisPersonality Disorder (PD) is one of the most difficult psychological conditions to classify and treat and in the past literature on the subject has tended to neglect the invaluable viewpoint of sufferers themselves. Drawing on extensive research carried out in conjunction with service users, Heather Castillo seeks to adjust this imbalance and looks at the classification and treatment of PD from the service users' viewpoint. This book emphasises the need for health professionals to reassess their approach to the condition and allows those with PD to effectively define themselves and their illness. With a wide range of case study material and analysis, this book is essential reading for mental health professionals, workers in the voluntary and forensic sectors and service users themselves.Trade ReviewThis is a good book about personality disorder, which is also a great book about advocacy... Vividly is to convey, in people's own words, what it feels like to have the label `personality disorder', and points us towards a new understanding of both this term and other diagnoses, which includes the personal experience, as well as the theoretical framework of `the helper'... At it's best advocacy has been a vehicle to help articulate the views of people generally not heard. This book is a perfect example of this, and in a time when advocacy is changing, we should cherish Castillo's book as example of a kind of advocacy that may be going out of fashion... Her book is an attempt to redress that failing, and despite the nightmarish descriptions, the overall impression we are left with is hopeful and, yes, emancipatory - partly because Castillo has succeeded in throwing some light into a corner of the world most of us find hard to look at. -- Psychotherapy & Politics InternationalIf there ever was a book that would turn the conventional, conservative view of personality disorder on its head, this is it. The book is presented in an easily readable form, with a comprehensive background to the subject of personality disorder at start, then the methodology of the study, then the results presented in a meaningful way. The discussion that follows is colourfully illustrated with quotes and examples of service user poetry and creative writing that are often shocking and always moving. This book wisely tells us that we can overcome a difficult disorder by thinking differently, and gives us a way forward. Very welcome in any service that is forward thinking, enlightened and wanting to find new ways to help their service users. -- Journal of Mental HealthThe book looks at the history of personality disorder diagnosis, and the difficulties and limitations in classifying people in this way...The research process and findings are informative and inspirational. The involvement of the researchers in the task contributed to their individual recovery, and the book offers an invaluable contribution to our understanding of personality disorder. -- Community CareIt is an exciting and interesting book and I would recommend it to anybody who wants to know about what it is like to live with the diagnosis of personality disorder and what others can do to help. It is a n excellent example of how we can use research to provide a platform for voices from the margins and to help service users use the power that comes from knowing something from the inside out. -- Counselling and Psychotherapy JournalAn insight into the trauma behind the behaviour to (hopefully) inform future service development. -- Mental Health TodayTable of Contents1.

LID Publishing Enabling Genius: A Mindset for Success in the
Book SynopsisDefinition of "genius": someone who has exceptionally intellectual or creative power or other natural ability. Doing or creating something truly creative will be the defining feature of success in the 21st century. This requires us to seek out our abilities and the innate resources born to us, raise our performance and fulfil our potential - in other words, to enable our genius. This fascinating book examines the nature of genius in human beings and what it takes to go beyond mediocrity and ordinariness. Written by a leading thinker and consultant in human performance, together with contributions from other experts in the field, the book identifies three specific kinds of genius that are within everyone's reach: unique individual genius (in a specific discipline, craft or skill set); genius in any discipline, craft or skill set; moments of genius (that occur as spontaneous, unplanned events); and collective genius (the coming together of individuals to deliver something extraordinary).

Prototype Publishing Ltd. Plainspeak
Book SynopsisPlainspeak is the highly anticipated second collection by Astrid Alben, following her acclaimed debut Ai! Ai! Pianissimo. In these startling poems, readers will experience Alben’s unorthodox alter-ego-thinking-out-louder approach with the same exhilaration as they might engage with art or jazz. The poems in Plainspeak deal with place, ancestral ties, solitude, flight, insomnia and the embattled absurdities of daily life.Alben plays with formal boundaries, linguistic identity and the lyrical poetic voice, writing with rhythmic vitality and visual imagination. The poems tell multiple narratives whilst retaining the freedom of abstraction; they are supple and precise, each one an installation evoking different aspects of a particular theme. Plainspeak reinvents play and logic, is poignant and humorous, absurd and anguished: a book for and of the times we live in.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Der Luzifer-Effekt: Die Macht der Umstände und
Book SynopsisWas bringt gute Menschen dazu, Böses zu tun? Wie können normale Bürger dazu verleitet werden, unmoralisch zu handeln? Wo liegt die Grenze zwischen Gut und Böse, und wer läuft Gefahr, sie zu überschreiten?Mit Der Luzifer-Effekt hat der renommierte amerikanische Sozialpsychologe Philip Zimbardo ein bedeutendes und brisantes Buch vorgelegt. Es schlägt den Bogen von den Details des weltberühmten Stanford Prison Experiment bis zu den grausamen Geschehnissen im Gefängnis von Abu Ghraib im Irak, und es offenbart verstörende Wahrheiten: über physische und psychische Gewalt, über Misshandlungen und Folter, über Kriegsverbrechen und Massenmorde – und über die Menschen, die sie ausführen, anordnen, ermöglichen oder zulassen. Zimbardos These: Nicht die Veranlagung bringt gute Menschen dazu, Böses zu tun, sondern die Situation, in der sie sich befinden oder in die man sie versetzt. Die Macht der Umstände schafft Täter und Opfer, und in oft diffusen Verantwortungsgeflechten verlieren moralische Maßstäbe allzu leicht ihr Fundament.Bei aller Beklemmung, die die Lektüre dieser ungemein detailreichen Studie unweigerlich auslöst, öffnet das Buch aber auch ein Fenster der Hoffnung: So wie man Situationen schaffen kann, die Menschen zum Bösen verführen, so können auch Zivilcourage und heldenhaftes Verhalten durch geeignete Rahmenbedingungen und gesellschaftliche Weichenstellungen gefördert werden. Der „Banalität des Bösen" setzt Zimbardo die „Banalität des Heldentums" entgegen.Ein beeindruckendes Stück Forschung zur Natur des Bösen und zu den Systemen und Situationen, die es entfesseln. ObserverEine Reise in Herz und Gehirn der Finsternis. Focus onlineEin notwendiges und wichtiges Buch. Gehirn und GeistEin fesselnder, gleichwohl erschreckender Blick auf unsere dunkle Seite ... Für alle, die sich fragen, wie Böses entsteht und bekämpft werden kann. EmotionPflichtlektüre nicht nur für Sozialwissenschaftler, sondern auch für Politiker, Entscheidungsträger und Erzieher. American ScientistTrade ReviewAus den Rezensionen der 1. Auflage:“Dieses bedeutende und brisante Buch offenbart verstörende Wahrheiten; über physische und psychische Gewalt, über Misshandlungen und Folter, über Kriegsverbrechen und Massenmorde - und über die Menschen, die sie ausführen, anordnen, ermöglichen oder zulassen. Philip Zimbardos These: Nicht die Veranlagung bringt gute Menschen dazu, Böses zu tun, sondern die Situation, in der sie sich befinden oder in die man sie versetzt. ...

Anhand historischer und aktueller Beispiele sowie eigener Forschungen zeigt der renommierte amerikanische Sozialpsychologe im Detail, wie gruppendynamische Prozesse, situative Kräfte und das soziale Umfeld zusammenwirken können, um aus anständigen Bürgern Folterknechte und Mörder zu machen. ... Auch die Mittäterschaft politischer und militärischer Entscheidungsträger arbeitet er deutlich heraus. Eine hochbrisante Studie, die bereits viel Beachtung in den Medien gefunden hat.” (in: ekz-Informationsdienst, Januar 2009) “Ein fesselnder, gleichwohl erschreckender Blick auf unsere dunkle Seite. ... Für alle, die sich fragen, wie Böses entsteht und bekämpft werden kann. ” (emotion)Aus den Rezensionen der englischen Originalausgabe (ins Deutsche übersetzt):“Eine beeindruckendes Stück Forschung zur Natur des Bösen und den Systemen und Situationen, die es nähren. ” (The Guardian's Observer Magazine, April, 2007)“Alle Politiker und gesellschaftlichen Berichterstatter sollten dieses Buch lesen ... Keine erfreuliche Lektüre für diejenigen, die überzeugt sind, dass wir als Individuen moralisch autonom sind ... Der Luzifer-Effekt ist ein wichtiges Buch.” (The Sunday Times, April, 2007)“Das letzte Kapitel ist ein Juwel. Nahtlos zeigt Zimbardo hier, wie die gleiche Sozialpsychologie, die unsere übelsten Instinkte ausnutzt, sich so umgestalten lässt, dass sie das Beste in uns hervorbringt ... Dieses wichtige Buch sollte Pflichtlektüre nicht nur für Sozialwissenschaftler sein, sondern auch für Politiker, Entscheidungsträger und Erzieher.” (American Scientist, September, 2007) zahlreiche weitere Rezensionen zum englischen Original: siehe lucifereffect.comTable of ContentsVorwort zur deutschen Ausgabe.- Vorwort zur amerikanischen Originalausgabe.- Danksagung.- 1.
