Cambridge University Press Others in Mind
Book SynopsisIn this book, Rochat explores self-consciousness, how it originates and how it shapes our lives, arguably the most important and revealing of all psychological problems. Based on empirical observations, this is a book of ideas, tapping into both developmental and anthropological phenomena and guided by strong existential intuitions regarding the human condition.Trade Review'Rochat's book combines both theoretical and empirical support for the view that the self is socially constructed through interactions with others. Philosophers and psychologists interested in development, embodiment, the self, or relationships, will find that Rochat's book offers a concise and persuasive account which challenges a traditional internalist conception of the self. In short, it is the kind of work that will prove to greatly benefit the discourse on the nature of the self.' Lucas A. Keefer, Philosophical Psychology'… an ambitious and fruitful project … Rochat's theory of the social construction of the self will undoubtedly be valuable for both philosophers and psychologists, with the caveat that there are unexplored theoretical issues in need of development.'

Cambridge University Press Handbook of Dialogical Self Theory
Book SynopsisIn a boundary-crossing and globalizing world, the personal and social positions in self and identity become increasingly dense, heterogeneous and even conflicting. In this handbook scholars of different disciplines, nations and cultures (East and West) bring together their views and applications of dialogical self theory in such a way that deeper commonalities are brought to the surface. As a 'bridging theory', dialogical self theory reveals unexpected links between a broad variety of phenomena, such as self and identity problems in education and psychotherapy, multicultural identities, child-rearing practices, adult development, consumer behaviour, the use of the internet and the value of silence. Researchers and practitioners present different methods of investigation, both qualitative and quantitative, and also highlight applications of dialogical self theory.Trade Review'This is an incredibly engaging and comprehensive text that builds on the evolving dialogical self theory, applies the model to several fascinating and diverse global cases and still finds room to explain in thoughtful detail how to utilize these ideas in improving people's lives. What you have in the Handbook of Dialogical Self Theory is a comprehensive guide to the theoretical understanding, analysis, and practice of dialogical self theory with diverse case examples and multiple illustrations of its usefulness and practicality in a complex and changing world.' Jack S. Kahn, California School of Professional Psychology, Alliant International University'This is a truly comprehensive examination of the multiple and diverse aspects of the emerging field of dialogical self studies. From a theoretical, methodological and practical vantage point an international group of scholars lays out the promises and possibilities of what will surely become an exciting field of inquiry as well as a foundation for new practices.' Henderikus J. Stam, University of Calgary'The 'dialogical self' is among the most important and original new theories in the social sciences in the past 20 years. It is a theory for our times, addressing in complex and insightful ways the ways that globalization affects psychological functioning. In this book, the theory is presented lucidly and thoroughly, covering an impressive range not only in psychology but also sociology, economics, philosophy, and political studies. The book should be welcome in all those fields as a major contribution to the understanding of globalization.' Jeffrey Jensen Arnett, Clark University'Longing for a 'big picture' look at dialogical self theory? Look no further! Besides providing detailed examinations of the theory itself, this handbook presents a plethora of ways to apply DST to research, psychotherapy, and education. DST scholars and practitioners will not be disappointed!' Jonathan D. Raskin, State University of New York'Handbook of Dialogical Self Theory is a comprehensive consolidation of recent advances in the theory and practice of dialogical self theory (DST). The collection of 27 chapters provides a comprehensive explication of DST as a 'bridging theory' … the handbook provides an excellent resource upon which further innovative theoretical, research, and practical positions should be built. More important, readers who engage with the content will be changed by it: never again will you use phrases like 'sense of self' without feeling that someone, somewhere has something very different and important to say on the matter.' Gavin Sullivan, PsycCRITIQUES'For those interested in DST, Hermans and Gieser's volume is a valuable and important contribution to the literature. And for those who are just curious and want to know more, they too will be rewarded. It is a rich, comprehensive compendium featuring many of the central players in the DST movement and it explores the idea of the dialogical self with a kind of earnestness and sense of purpose that many will find appealing.' Mark Freeman, Theory and Psychology'The editors of this work are among the leading representatives of narrative psychology and creators of dialogical self theory (DST) … Of particular value is the fact that the authors represented are from Africa, India, Japan and China, in addition to traditional, Western centers of science … [This volume] merits use as an academic textbook on DST [and] … will interest 'humanists', including anthropologists, linguists, sociologists, psychologists, psychotherapists, psychiatrists, doctors and even business psychologists … Authors of individual chapters use a clear and lively style, so the concepts described will interest even those readers unfamiliar with the topic.'

Book SynopsisThis handbook focuses on the development and nurturance of creativity across the lifespan, from early childhood to adolescence, adulthood, and later life. It answers the question: how can we help individuals turn their creative potential into achievement?

Cambridge University Press Storying Mental Illness and Personal Recovery
Book SynopsisThis book elucidates how narrative identity is crucial to understanding mental illness and personal recovery. It analyses over 100 personal stories shared by individuals with mental illness, and provides guidance to facilitate recovery. Useful for mental health researchers and professionals as well as individuals experiencing mental illness.Trade Review'Through a broad and expansive overview, beautifully interweaving research findings with individuals' own stories, they provide a highly readable and articulate conception of the ways in which narrative identity is central to understanding the causes, consequences, and lived experience of mental illness. With great deftness, they present a counter-narrative of cultural conceptions of mental illness that help the reader to understand the complexity of living a meaningful life in the midst of mental illness.' Robyn Fivush, Emory University, USA'This new work comprehensively tackles directly issues of narrative identity, mental illness, and personal recovery. It delves deeply into how persons make personal sense of the challenges which surround mental illness, as well as their own emergent path to a fully meaningful life. While it reminds us of these neglected issues, it also breaks new ground, bringing scientific inquiry to these deeply subjective aspects of human experience.' Paul H. Lysaker, IUPUI School of Science, USA'Psychiatric illness is a thief in the night, upending our lives by stealing the very stories we live by. In this groundbreaking study of narrative identity and psychopathology, Dorthe Thomsen and her colleagues reveal the horrific costs incurred, as well as the occasional benefits, by examining how people afflicted with major mental disorders make narrative sense of their lived experience. Blending rigorous scholarship with deep empathy, the authors chart the many variations on the theme of psychological suffering that appear in first-person accounts, and they show that hope for a better life lies in narrative repair – that is, in the prospect of re-writing our life stories to recover what has been taken away from us, and thereby re-affirming personal wellbeing and human connection.' Dan P. McAdams, The Henry Wade Rogers Professor of Psychology, Northwestern University, USA'This elegantly written and scientifically sound book shows that narrative psychology provides unique insights into mental illness not captured by traditional medical and psychological research, covering themes that humans hold most dear: themes of loss of time, loss of future, loss of self, loss of relationships, and loss of life. This timely book not only provides a moving account of lived experience of mental illness, but offers the methodological tools to study it further, with the ultimate hope of improving our treatments, which are, admittedly, in need of reform. A must-read book for clinicians, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding mental illness from the inside out.' Carla Sharp, University of Houston, USA'This is an important book. The focus on life stories aligns with the global movement toward positioning experiential knowledge of individuals living with mental health issues at the center of health and social care systems. Narrative approaches will become increasingly important in mental health care, and this book makes an original contribution which has wide relevance to anyone trying to support individuals experiencing mental health issues. I thoroughly recommend it.' Mike Slade, University of Nottingham, UKTable of ContentsList of Figures; List of Tables; Acknowledgements; 1. Introducing the book; 2. The science of mental illness; 3.

Book SynopsisMMPI Instruments: Assessing Personality and Psychopathology 6th edition provides a bridge for graduate students and clinicians alike in navigating the changes and updates to the MMPI, including the recently released MMPI-3.Trade ReviewI enjoy Graham's writing style. It is clear and coherent. He finds ways to present a large amount of material in varying ways - i.e., he tells us what each scale elevation means without seeming robotic or droning. It is the de facto resource for the MMPI-2. - Stephen Byrne, Alfred UniversityIt's comprehensive, well researched, scholarly, and well written. It has one of the best discussions of interpretation of Validity scales that I have found, i.e., consideration of configurations of Validity scales, rather than interpretation of them in isolation, nuanced discussion of their meaning, etc. The inclusion of the MMPI-A material sets it apart from the current text I use. I really enjoyed the author's writing style. It is engaging, avoids jargon, invites the reader's interest, and is a pleasure to read. It has a number of strengths compared to my current text, including more comprehensive coverage of several topics such as the MMPI-A, forensic applications, etc. - Marc Diener, Long Island UniversityThis text is by far the most comprehensive book on the market. While other MMPl books are appropriate, the author provides the most practical and comprehensive way to use MMPI in clinical practice. - Jason McGlothlin/Kent State UniversityThe approach of this distinguishes it from others. It covers pretty much everything a student at the doctoral level needs to know in using this clinical tool in their practice and research. - Dong Xie, University of Central Arkansas

Peter Whybrow ponders how living our best lives can make the best world. This book is a courageous manifesto about human frailty that delineates the care with which we need to treat ourselves and those around us. We ignore its message at terrible personal and social cost." -- Andrew Solomon, National Book Award–winning author of The Noonday Demon and Far from the Tree"As we face the biggest problems civilizations have ever confronted—climate change above all—it’s crucial that we understand why our brains are being hijacked in the wrong direction. Peter Whybrow’s book does exactly that, making it possible for us to summon the grace and will necessary to do the right thing." -- Bill McKibben, author of Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet"In The Well-Tuned Brain Peter Whybrow combines gripping big themes with an abundance of fascinating stories. The big themes revolve around the collision between our ancient human habits, our human brains often operating on autopilot, and the seductive material success of our modern market economy.

Recommended." -- Bob Odenkirk - via Twitter"A bracingly beautiful account of learning to live with uncertainty in turbulent times." -- Rebecca Foster - Shelf Awareness"As she explores the sometimes painful limits of mothering, Frank candidly discusses the wisdom of letting go what cannot be healed or made whole in exchange for the gift of acceptance.

Frank intimately depicts her family's heart-wrenching experience, rendering the unimaginable with grace." -- Booklist"Tanya Frank’s Zig-Zag Boy starts by chronicling a mother’s nightmare as her promising son falls into psychosis but ends up being far more than the story of what happens when we fear for the life of someone we love.

John Wiley & Sons Inc Beneath the Mask An Introduction to Theories of
Book SynopsisBeneath the Mask presents classic theories of human nature, much as each theorist might if the theorist were to teach his or her ideas to people encountering them for the first time. Through a theorist-by-theorist approach, this Eighth Edition continues to explore the ideas of personality theorists developmentally, incorporating the personal origins of ideas to illuminate links between the psychology of each theorist and that theorist''s own psychology of persons. Beneath the Mask presents the sequence of thinking for more than 20 theorists and demonstrates how the thinking that led to major theories is nested in the life experience of the theorists within the context of the surrounding culture. The authors emphasize each theorist''s life history as the basis for the ideas that constitute his or her theories, making them easier to understand as pictures of human nature. John P.
