Pegasus Books My Brothers Keeper
Book SynopsisA leading psychiatrist seeks to transform our understanding of mental health care and how it fits into larger social and economic forces—and proposes an effective and compassionate new framework for healing.Mental health care in America has become nothing short of atrocious. Supposed developments in treatment methods and medication remain inaccessible to those who need them most. Countless people seeking treatment are routinely funneled into homelessness and prison while a mental health epidemic ravages younger generations. It seems obvious that the system is broken, but the tragic truth is that it is actually functioning exactly as intended, providing reliably enormous profits for the corporate entities who now manage mental healthcare. It is easy to turn a blind eye. Most of us are more comfortable ducking our own fears about mental health and placing our faith in the rugged American individual and the free market, rather than confronting our own prejudi

Information Age Publishing Memory in the Wild
Book SynopsisVenturing out of the laboratory into the wild of natural settings, it becomes untenable to locate memory strictly in the head. Instead, memory appears as a materially extended and socially distributed process, embedded within culture and history. This book explores the complex relations between practices of remembering and the settings in which they are enacted. It advances a novel set of concepts developed from ecological, cognitive, cultural and narrative currents in psychology and further afield to analyze (1) trajectories of autobiographical remembering, (2) the relation between individual and collective memory, (3) memory and cultural transmission, as well as (4) various methodological techniques to investigate memory in the wild.

Academica Press The Janus Face of Ideas: Which Way Should We
Book SynopsisIn ancient Roman myth and religion, Janus was the god of physical and emotional gateways. He is traditionally shown as having two faces pointing in opposite directions, representing different perspectives, or perhaps a reconciliation of two points of view. He is the god of the past and the future, looking fore and aft, as Homer says. He is the god of transitions, doorways, beginnings and endings, passageways, options, change, entrances and exits.The Janus figure is a fitting symbol for this book, which concerns conflict and agreement between pairs of ideas. Janus, of course, is everyone – all of us -- as we struggle to reach decisions on the choices that punctuate our lives. We are unsure which is the real face of the Janus figure, or whether there is a right direction to point, although compasses are oriented toward true north. Janus is two-faced, not from hypocrisy or insincerity, but as a result of reflection. He always looks at both sides of the question, reflectively and deeply within the conscious mind. The ideas we will explore include such apparent polarities as justice and forgiveness, belief and skepticism, the ascetic and the sensuous. When we unpack these concepts, we discover that in some cases the two sides align and a compromise is possible. In other cases, they repel each other, like identical poles of magnets. All of the ideas will receive critical airings so that we can be clear on what we can believe, which choices can be avoided, and which ones must be confronted as alternatives.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Marks of a Psychoanalysis
Book SynopsisIs someone radically different after an analysis? Since Freud, psychoanalysis has been questioned about what the psychoanalytic experience can change in someone's life beyond shedding light on symptoms. Drawing on literature, philosophy and a range of psychoanalytic theorists and practitioners, Luis Izcovich addresses the effects of psychoanalysis on the individual who has the desire and the courage to enter an analytic treatment and take it to its endpoint. The subject bears the marks of his childhood and these have repercussions on the choices that he makes in life. Do these marks determine him or does he have a choice in making his destiny? How do the transformations brought about in the transference change the subject? And does the analysis leave a distinguishing and locatable mark? Luis Izcovich attempts to answer these questions from a Lacanian perspective.Trade Review'Strange as the word "mark" may be in the context of psychoanalysis, Izcovich employs it to ask (and answer) one of the most challenging and important questions: How does one know that someone has been through an analysis? Avoiding all simplistic responses, he takes the reader into a largely uncharted territory, where symptoms give way to desire, and where desire is bound up with subjective time. As an unprecedented exploration of psychoanalytic markers and marks, this book is nothing but a landmark and, as such, truly indispensable.'--Dany Nobus, Professor of Psychoanalytic Psychology at Brunel University London, and chair of the Freud Museum LondonTable of ContentsIntroduction , The Mark of Time , Time and the unconscious , Borges, Lacan, poetry, time , Haste and exit , The moments to conclude , The Mark of the Symptom , The necessary symptom , What holds together , Lapsus of the knot , The writing of the symptom , The Mark of Separation , The clinic of limits , How did Winnicott analyse? , Ferenczi or the effaced trauma , Identity and separation , The mark of the father , The Effective Mark , The being of jouissance , Scraps of discourse , The sense of the sense-less , Grimaces of the real or the marks of repetition , Letter and nomination , The Mark of the Desire of the Analyst , The true journey , The marks of interpretation , The desire of the analyst or the mark of gay sçavoir , Unprecedented satisfaction or the mark of the ending , The desire of the analyst and absolute difference , Postscript

Anthem Press Process Philosophy: A Synthesis
Book SynopsisThe book analyses and compares a variety of processes of change: in evolution, learning and innovation, language and meaning, self and society and ethics and morality. Taking a realistic approach, the book is inspired by pragmatic philosophy, in particular, that of Dewey, Nietzsche, Wittgenstein, and Heidegger, and employs insights from economics, sociology, anthropology, and social psychology. The book aims to give a coherent synthesis of ideas about change and aims to see how one can take a process view of various features of humanity, such as knowledge, relations between people, language and morality, and how, vice versa, that might contribute to process philosophy. Trade Review’Bart Nooteboom has made award-winning contributions to our understanding of trust, learning, cognition, governance and innovation. In this exciting new book, Nooteboom weaves these threads together by offering a fresh philosophical look at the linguistic, epistemic and ethical foundations of the underlying social processes.

This is an opportunity for educators to learn more about mindfulness, whether they practise regularly or are new to the field. This book's welcoming atmosphere offers a wealth of information and explains mindfulness in a clear, simple and factual way. The author's education background ensures that this resource is not only relevant but useful, with specific examples for the busy periods of the academic year. Many case studies are included from all areas of education which ensures that users are able to make the most of an activity or idea from the outset. A useful resource to use in the world of education for years to come - thank you, Kamalagita.Nia BrodrickA marvellous handbook to support teachers with mindfulness. Kamalagita has created a wealth of knowledge and research-based activities that are also aided by some great resources to track progress. As an educationalist, if you were in two minds about whether mindfulness is for you, fear not. This book is crammed with some fabulous exercises that will help you find peace, balance and a new sense of energy and focus. It's an easy-to-read, well-planned book which guides you effortlessly through the why, what and how of mindfulness implementation. I thoroughly enjoyed reading and practising many of the techniques. Thank you, Kamalagita, for a lovely magical mindfulness handbook for teachers.Nina JacksonThis is a superb toolkit for all staff whether you are new to the profession, an experienced teacher or member of the school leadership team. What I love about the book is that regardless of your perceptions or thoughts about mindfulness, there is such a strong focus on well-being and responding (not reacting!) to the busy school lives that we all lead. The layout is very easy to navigate, and each chapter has excellent activities that are so simple to implement without a huge amount of preparation. Highly recommend this as a book of choice for anyone working in a school environment. I will definitely be dipping in and sharing with colleagues - wonderful to have all this rich material at our fingertips!Shirley DrummondThe work of teaching our young people is one of the most important and impactful jobs to engage in. It is also challenging, stressful and time squeezed. How can teachers look after themselves, remain creative and keep in touch with their love for their vocation in the midst of these pressures? Get this book and allow it to be an ongoing companion to your journey. Keep revisiting the pages. It offers rich resources supporting you to keep your mindfulness practice going and creatively adapt it to you and your life. It also gives you very practical ideas, tailored to the school teaching context, on how to realise the fruits of your mindfulness practice in everyday life - both during routine and high-stress times. If you are a schoolteacher, this book has your back.Rebecca CraneWhat an uplifting read. The Mindful Teacher's Handbook is exactly what every teacher needs to have within arm's reach at all times. It's easily accessible, taking you through a series of mindfulness exercises which gradually become habit-forming. Since reading the book, I've found myself constantly (sometimes unconsciously) going through some of the exercises and enjoying the positive impact mindfulness can have. For teachers, it is invaluable. There are exercises to suit every scenario, whether it's handling a challenging class, preparing for an inspection or a lesson observation. It also provides the reader with practical exercises to do at home and on the way to and from work. All the exercises are easy to follow and are practical for the situation they refer to. Having read through the book once (which I'd recommend doing initially), it is an ideal book to dip into whenever you need to take that step back, explore how you are feeling and take ownership of the way you handle negative emotions and energy, or make the most of the positive energy within you. If you are a school or department leader, this book can transform your team. It will ensure 'workplace enjoyment', 'clarity of mind' and 'positive relationships' become three terms people will use to describe those you work with.Armando Di-FinizioAs the well-being imperative in schools and colleges grows ever more urgent, The Mindful Teacher's Handbook has to be a go-to resource for anyone in education who wants to thrive in their role and take meaningful well-being practice in schools to a new and necessary level. Kamalagita acts as our guide as she thoughtfully explores and connects the science, practice and benefits of mindfulness, sharing clear strategies and exercises that are both teacher-friendly and supported by engaging discussions. Kamalagita knows first-hand the influence those in education can have on young minds and argues that if we want to equip our children so that they develop essential life skills for mental health, they need to be in learning environments with adults who prioritise their own well-being. From checking in on your 'internal weather' to managing the stress of inspections, Kamalagita tackles the challenges faced by teachers in a clear and practical way so that anyone, whether they are new to mindfulness or experienced, will find something to nurture and boost their personal and professional life.If you are a teacher and you're wading through a long list of must-read educational books, documents and initiatives to be the best teacher you can for yourself and your students, put this book on the top of your pile and start here.Natalie ChybaThe Mindful Teacher's Handbook is a book for every teacher and leader in an ever-changing world. The book is well timed, as we begin our new curriculum journey in Wales, with a real focus on how we all need to focus on our own health and well-being: we can only care for our students with empathy and love if we 'mind our own minds'. There is nothing 'woolly' about this book; it is written with authenticity and is rooted in classroom experience. The section on using mindfulness as a tool for responding to some of the behaviours we are all seeing in the post-COVID-19 classroom is both refreshing and useful. Overall, there is a toughness about this writing: an insistence on the absolute need to build in mindfulness that I found compelling and very real. I see a need for this handbook in my school and in every school.Jennifer FordI really like this book. What I like about it is that it's realistic and useful. Kamalagita has written accessibly for the busy teacher-reader and it is full of exercises and systems that support a more mindful approach to the day-to-day stresses of school life. It'll help teachers rediscover the joy in what they do.Hywel Roberts, teacher, writer, humourist, author of Botheredness: Stories, Stance and PedagogyHywel RobertsThis is an easy-to-follow, practical and useful handbook for busy teachers, written by someone who clearly understands both mindfulness and the pressures of the classroom and staffroom. It provides a clear and approachable introduction to mindfulness theory and practice which is enough to help a 'beginner' get going and enticing enough to lead on those who take to it (and not all teachers will, of course) into further practice and study. What is particularly novel and helpful is the application of mindfulness practice to the everyday and potentially difficult experiences all teachers will know well, such as transitions, the dreaded inspections and meeting with challenging parents and colleagues.Katherine WeareThe Mindful Teacher's Handbook removes the mystery from mindfulness but leaves the impact on your well-being and the enjoyment to be had from trying this out. This book takes mindfulness directly into your classroom - ideal for busy teachers personally and professionally. Filled with practical examples and clear explanations, you'll find useful information and ideas whether you're new to mindfulness or already have some experience.If you've ever wondered if mindfulness might have something to offer your own well-being or that of your pupils, this comprehensive but accessible book will guide you to a decision. As a busy teacher you'll appreciate the clear and succinct descriptions of mindfulness, how it can help and why it works, set directly in the context of school/college settings and relevant situations. It's written for teachers by a teacher whose classroom experience shows through on every page.There are lots of accessible mindful activities for you to try yourself - the book emphasises the primacy of being mindful yourself and paying attention to your own well-being - but there are examples of mindfulness activities to try with learners of all ages too. And if you want to take it further, there is a comprehensive list of resources and relevant training.Elizabeth WilliamsThank you for such a great book for educational professionals. It is certainly a must-read.The book provides a clear insight into mindfulness, starting with its background and how mindfulness can be applied within the educational setting. The practical tips are easily applied to activities within the classroom, especially to self-regulate - for both staff and students! With health and well-being becoming a focus within the new curriculum, this book is a must for all teachers.Luisa Martin ThomasKamalagita's vast experience as a mindfulness trainer, teacher of young people and collaborator with schools on their mindfulness journey means that she is in a unique position to write this accessible guide to a more spacious life. The combination of research-based evidence and personal testimonies from teachers and school leaders, along with the raft of practical exercises that can be implemented immediately, make this a powerful educator's handbook for our troubled times. If you allow Kamalagita's empathetic voice to speak to you as you enter classrooms and walk along corridors, as I have done, I am confident that you will quickly feel that working life and home life are both more manageable and enjoyable. Over-committing, being overwhelmed and negative self-talk are familiar patterns in our high-pressure environment. Kamalagita's easily learnt techniques are a lifeline that remind us we are not alone in experiencing or dealing with stress. They provide quick fixes, as well as the opportunity for more sustained change to work-life balance. Whether you are new to teaching, a hardened professional with many years of experience, a classroom assistant or a senior leader, this book has something for you. Kamalagita gives us permission to recognise that we are all human and that we share many more of our common day-to-day experiences than we might like to think. I hope that Kamalgita's case studies and work with strategic leads inspire teachers and leaders to take up the challenge of making their schools more mindful for students and staff. The evidence presented is clear - there will be a positive impact for individuals, institutions, families and society.Jane BarnesThere is widespread concern about the mental well-being of children and young people. Teachers are such an important influence on their lives. With so many teachers experiencing stress themselves, it is all the more important to have practical ideas to help. This is an excellent introduction to mindfulness, offering many practical exercises to help teachers manage the 'internal weather' that daily events frequently stir up. When people feel less stressed, less at risk of burnout and more focused on the purpose that brought them into teaching in the first place, it is also a valuable help for all the children they teach and influence. The testimonies of the people who have benefitted are woven through this straightforward and practical guide.Jenny EdwardsAbsolutely delighted to review this informative, evidence-based and helpful handbook from Kalamagita Hughes. Harnessing the principles of a whole school approach to emotional well-being using person-centred approaches , this book is much needed at a time when COVID-19 has exacerbated concerns about children and young people's mental health and the role of community action. The strategies to promote well-being in our communities will be fundamental to tackling this issue and Kalamagita portrays this beautifully in structured and easy-to-read instructions. The reader will be able to understand the biological reasons, practise and evaluate the outcomes of their interventions and ensure the whole schoolcommunity benefits from emotional regulation in the promotion of relationships and well-being. A much-needed resource!Ceri ReedWe all know how stressful it can be working in the education sector. This is a practical book full of great ideas and written by an author who understands the pressures faced by educationalists. Thoroughly recommend.Simon Pirotte

Collective Ink Practicing Mental Illness: Meditation, Movement
Book SynopsisPracticing Mental Illness is a guide to using meditation, movement and meaningful work to help manage affective disorders such as depression, bipolar disorder and anxiety. Not a typical book on mindfulness, it acknowledges where mindfulness practices as taught today can be helpful, and where methods and teachings in popular mindfulness can be very damaging to people with mental illness. George Hofmann has written a subversive self-help book, which acknowledges that our society's low expectations of people with behavioral challenges contribute to the development of mental illness. He gives the reader the necessary tools to take responsibility to get well and stay well. In the end, Practicing Mental Illness presents a method that can help people with affective disorders predict oncoming mood changes and intervene to head off damaging emotions and maintain a balance of positive mental, and physical, health.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The New Psychology of Money
Book SynopsisThe New Psychology of Money is an accessible and engrossing analysis of our psychological relationship to money in all its forms. Comprehensive and insightful, Adrian Furnham explores the role that money plays in a range of contexts, from the family to the high street, and asks whether the relationship is always a healthy one. Discussing how money influences what we think, what we say, and how we behave in a range of situations, the book places the dynamics of high finance and credit card culture in context with traditional attitudes towards wealth across a range of cultures, as well as how the concept of money has developed historically.The book is split into four sections: Understanding Money. What are our attitudes to money, and how does nationality, history and religion mediate those attitudes? Money in the Home How do we grow up with money, and what role does it play within the family? What role does gender play, and can we lose control in dealing with money? Money at Work. Are we really motivated by money at work? And what methods do retailers use to persuade us to part with our money? Money in Everyday Life. How do we balance the need to create more money for ourselves through investments with the desire to make charitable contributions, or give money to friends and family? How has the e-revolution changed our relationship to money? Radically updated from its original publication in 1998, The New Psychology of Money is a timely and fascinating book on the psychological impact of an aspect of daily life we generally take for granted. It will be of interest to all students of psychology, economics and business and management, but also anyone who takes an interest in the world around them. Trade Review‘The New Psychology of Money is extremely wide ranging, well informed and very readable, with delightful chapter heading quotations.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Finding Out About Asperger Syndrome,
Book SynopsisChildren and teenagers are different. Some have more differences than others and may have difficulties with things such as participating in group activities, or really understanding how other people see things and how they think. Some of these young people want to do things in their own way, and some of them have a particular interest which fills their lives. Many of those who are special in this way have Asperger Syndrome or high functioning autism. Gunilla, who is now an adult, received her diagnosis several years ago. She has written this book for all children and teenagers who have similar difficulties. It's an important book - in fact, it's the only one of its kind. Gunilla's book should be read by all young people who receive a diagnosis of Asperger Syndrome, PDD or high functioning autism. It can also be read by their peers in school, siblings, and other children with whom they have contact. Adults may read it too, the better to understand the person with autism or Asperger Syndrome.'- Christopher Gillberg, MD and Professor of Child and Adolescent PsychiatryTrade ReviewA brief pocket-sized book to educate young people with Asperger's Syndrome about the condition is a good idea. -- Ruth LevereChildren and teenagers are different.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Clinical Seminars and Other Works
Book SynopsisThis selection of clinical seminars held by Wilfred Bion in Brasilia (1975) and Sao Paulo (1978) is the nearest we shall ever get to experiencing his application of his theories and views to consulting-room practice. It is also likely to be the only printed record of this area of his work. As those who underwent analysis with Bion will testify, nothing can approach the experience of the thing itself, but, failing that, these seminars may help to fill the gap now that his voice can only be heard through his published writings and lectures. Other works included are 'Four Discussions' and 'Four Papers'.The reader will find here no jargon, dogma or theoretical exposition; Bion knew that the enormous difficulties involved in communicating verbally this infinitely complex subject are only compounded by the use of what is often nothing more than "psychobabble". His intentional choice of simple language, accurately and consistently used, can come as a surprise; a presenting analyst says "Your suggestion of what to say to the patient seemed much simpler than what is usually said by the analyst."He described analysis as a "tough job", "a dangerous occupation", and the analytic experience as "potentially nasty both for the analyst and the analysand ...like being at sea - it is as stormy for both people." To the question of whether it is the analyst's function to help the patient, he gives this illuminating reply: "...we are trying to say: 'I will help you to know yourself...I am trying to be a mirror to reflect back to you who you are, so that you can see in what I say to you an image of your self.'"Throughout these seminars (and the following discussions and papers) runs the thread of Bion's penetrating insight, his recognition of truth, and his fascination with the human character. In observing the patient he believed that the analyst must combine the disciplined curiosity of the scientist, the warmth of the humanist, the wisdom of the philosopher, and the sensitivity of the artist. A tall order indeed, but one to which this remarkable man came very close to fulfilling.Trade ReviewThe reader will find here no jargon, dogma or theoretical exposition; Bion knew that the enormous difficulties involved in communicating verbally this infinitely complex subject are only compounded by the use of what is often nothing more than "psychobabble".
