Luath Press Ltd Self-help for the 21st Century
Book SynopsisSamuel Smiles' groundbreaking work "Self-Help" published in 1859 encouraged people to believe that they could do anything that they determined to do. But living in the modern world is sometimes not that easy. "Self-Help for the 21st Century" updates the concepts revealed in "Self-Help" making them relevant for our lives today. Aware of the cliche of self-improvement guides "Self-Help for the 21st Century" avoids doctrine or arbitrary rules. Instead editor Malcolm Good has garnered the opinions of leading figures, particularly Scots or those with a strong Scottish association, from all walks of life. From racing driver Jackie Stewart, artist Calum Colvin and maverick yachtsman Chay Blyth to lawyers, politicians, mathematicians, engineers, historians and philosophers their contributions describe what worked for them and provide their insight. Topics discussed include nature and nurture, ambition, knowledge and values. More than a self-help book "Self-Help for the 21st Century" offers opinion, social commentary and biography.

Wessex Astrologer Ltd Star-Crossed: Astrology, Personality Theory and
Book SynopsisIn this intriguing exploration of human relationship patterns, Clare Martin compares two hitherto unrelated approaches, to see what, if anything, they can offer each other. Astrology has a rich historical, philosophical, and cultural background. Its categories are archetypal and its language is mythic, symbolic and imaginative. Personality theory is an extension of the medical model pioneered by Freud. Based on extensive empirical research and clinical practice, its approach is secular, rational and causal, and its language is analytical. Astrology and personality theory share the recognition that all human experience takes place in the context of relationship, between subject and object, self and other, internal and external, at both conscious and unconscious levels. We find ourselves in a world of duality and polarity, caught between opposites. Stories and story-telling weave these two approaches together and expand our understanding of human nature, with all its paradoxes and complexities. Clare uses a variety of well-known stories with relationship themes at their core - from enduring myths, books and films - to breathe life into the paradoxical themes of each axis in the birth chart, and each character style in personality theory. The stories we are drawn to - or repelled by - tell us more about ourselves. Recognising the stories in our own birth charts generates increased insight, psychic integration, flexibility, and greater acceptance of ourselves and others. Suitable for anyone interested in the way we develop, and for astrologers of all levels or none at all.Table of ContentsChapter 1 The Psychology of Relationships Chapter 2 The Astrology of Relationships Chapter 3 The Healing Power of Stories Chapter 4 The Cancer/Capricorn Axis The Unwanted Child Schizoid Adaptation Chapter 5 The Taurus/Leo Axis The Abandoned Child Oral Adaptation Chapter 6 The Gemini/Sagittarius Axis The Owned Child Symbiotic Adaptation Chapter 7 The Leo/Aquarius Axis The Used Child Narcissistic Adaptation Chapter 8 The Virgo/Pisces Axis The Defeated Child Masochistic Adaptation Chapter 9 The Aries/Libra Axis The Exploited Child Oedipal Adaptation Chapter 10 Epilogue - Love Actually Chart Data Bibliography Index

Scribe Publications The Middlepause: on life after youth
Book SynopsisIn a society obsessed with living longer and looking younger, what does middle age mean today? Spurred by her own brutal propulsion into menopause, Marina Benjamin’s clear-eyed account of our middle years takes inspiration from literature and philosophy to weigh the challenges and opportunities of mid-life. It offers an inspired and expanded vision of how to be middle-aged happily and harmoniously, without sentiment or delusion.Trade Review‘Lucid and sophisticated … A restrained but wonderful guide to the convulsive changes of 50 and over … This is a book that yields valuable insights on almost every page.’ -- Melissa Benn * The Guardian *‘A 21st-century meditation on middle age … The Middlepause is erudite, with a lengthy list of notes and ideas for further reading, but it is also personal — part memoir, part unflinching travelogue through the unsettling physical and mental challenges of the menopause … Honest and uplifting.’ * FT *‘Beautifully composed and intensely sympathetic, The Middlepause: On Turning Fifty is wry, personal and intimate, while still being something of a road map for others.’ -- Viv Groskop * The Sunday Telegraph *‘Women do a lot of things to mark turning fifty. Go to a resort! Have a bang-up party! Far, far better: read The Middlepause.’ * Jill Lepore, author of The Secret History of Wonder Woman *‘Emotionally honest.’ -- Tom Gatti * New Statesman *‘We are not supposed to beguile, we the middle-aged women. But with The Middlepause, Marina Benjamin does that: she beguiles and entrances with a lyrical, thoughtful, erudite, and always lucid exploration of the middle years of her life, and what they mean to her, and what middle-aged women mean to society.’ -- Rose George, author of The Big Necessity‘Beautifully written and so thoughtful, The Middlepause made me think about fleeting time and what is important to me. I couldn’t put it down.’ -- Amy Jenkins, author of Honeymoon and creator of This Life‘Renunciation, shape-shifting, ennui, sorrow: this tender and thoughtful book calls for an ‘invisible revolution’ in our attitudes to women’s ageing. In a deeply personal meditation Benjamin places body knowledge and luck alongside grieving and family history; intimate reflection with literary exemplar; communion with ghosts sadly close to the painful real. The Middlepause is a wise, lucid and beautiful plea for more candid discussion of the time-wrought transformations of the female body.’ -- Gail Jones, author of A Guide to Berlin‘Intimate, open-hearted, clever and kind, this book is a companion which, by naming the shadow fears, finds the truer gold.’ -- Jay Griffiths, author of Kith‘A candid and beautifully written “wrinkles and all” meditation on the middle years with all their dilemmas and challenges … [Marina Benjamin] seeks a new vision of how to be middle-aged happily and harmoniously without sentiment or delusion.’ -- Caroline Sanderson * The Bookseller *‘A candid look at what it means to be 50 today … Warm, wise and beautifully written.’ * Good Housekeeping *‘This is a measured and beautifully written critique of menopause and middle age that pre-, mid-, and postmenopausal women will find eminently relatable, and that those who love and care for them will likewise appreciate.’ * Publishers Weekly *‘Benjamin takes us into her inner world — it’s instructive, and very moving.’ -- William Leith * Evening Standard *‘Full of insight.’ -- Eleanor Mills * Sunday Independent *‘In The Middlepause Benjamin deftly and brilliantly examines the losses and unexpected gains she experienced in menopause. Menopause is a mind and body shift as monumental and universal as puberty, yet far less often discussed, especially in public, which is what makes Benjamin’s work here so urgently necessary.’ -- Kate Tuttle * The Los Angeles Times *‘Benjamin takes the process of self–help thoughtfully. For starters, to recognise change, rather than deny it, is to begin to deal with it.’ -- Iain Finlayson * Saga Magazine *‘This gentle but honest book should be standard reading for friends and loved–ones of women trying to make sense of this transitional stage in life.’ -- Sue Wright * The Malcontent *‘The Middlepause isn't some deluding self–help book that insists middle–age is a time of great growth for us all. It’s an accurate and thoughtful assessment of the credit and debit sheet, and it remains emotionally genuine throughout … This is a thoughtful, compassionate and wise book.’ * Shiny New Books *

Macat International Limited An Analysis of Erwin Panofsky's Meaning in the
Book SynopsisErwin Panofsky’s Meaning in the Visual Arts is considered a key work in art history. Its ideas have provoked widespread debate, and although it was first published more than sixty years ago, it continues to feature regularly on numerous university reading lists. Meaning in the Visual Arts comprises nine essays. In these, Panofsky argues for the independence of iconology as a branch of history. He moves on to demonstrate the anatomy of art and its study, as well as the controlling principles of interpretation. He then deals with the theories of human proportions, Gothic architecture, and the Northern Renaissance. Finally, Panofsky discusses his own American experiences.Table of ContentsWays in to the Text Who was Erwin Panofsky? What does Meaning in the Visual Arts Say?

Templeton Foundation Press,U.S. Human Nature: Reflections on the Integration of
Book Synopsis College and university professors have been demanding that this book, out of print for several years, be made available again, as it is unique in its field. This new edition, which includes a new preface and guidance to current literature, offers a balanced study of the implications of scientific developments in psychology and neuroscience for traditional Christian beliefs. Malcolm Jeeves, former editor-in-chief of Neuropsychologia, a leading international scientific journal in behavioral and cognitive neuroscience, explores the intersection of science and faith in defining what it means to be human. He reports on recent scientific research on consciousness and the link between mind, brain, and behavior. He examines issues such as determinism by indicating the possible relevance of chaos theory to enduring concerns about freedom and responsibility. He looks at similarities and differences between human nature and animal nature. He reexamines traditional dualist views of soul and body in the light of contemporary research on mind and brain and argues for a wholistic model. This leads to addressing questions such as: does spiritual awareness depend on the intactness of our brains or does spirituality stand apart from our biological substrate? Jeeves' insightful analysis of the ways recent findings in psychology relate to certain Christian beliefs about people expands the global science religion dialogue.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Detection of Malingering during Head Injury
Book SynopsisExpanding both the conceptual and clinical knowledge base on the subject, the Third Edition of Detection of Malingering during Head Injury Litigation offers the latest detection tools and techniques for veteran and novice alike. Increased public awareness of traumatic brain injuries has fueled a number of significant developments: on the one hand, more funding and more research related to these injuries and their resulting deficits; on the other, the possibility of higher stakes in personal injury suits—and more reasons for individuals to feign injury.As in its earlier editions, this practical revision demonstrates how to combine clinical expertise, carefully-gathered data, and the use of actuarial models as well as common sense in making sound evaluations and reducing ambiguous results. The book navigates the reader through the many caveats that come with the job, beginning with the scenario that an individual may be malingering despite having an actual brain injury. Among the updated features: Specific chapters on malingering on the Word Memory Test (WMT), Test of Malingered Memory (TOMM) MMPI-2, MMPI-RF and MMPI-3; Detailed information regarding performance on performance validity tests in the domain of executive functioning and memory, Guidelines for explaining performance and symptom validity testing to the trier of fact; Chapters on mild TBI in children in head injury litigation, cultural concerns and ethical issues in the context of head injury litigation.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Relational Processes in Counselling and
Book SynopsisThis book is focused on relational processes in supervision for counselling and psychotherapy. The aim is first to introduce a relational theoretical stance, then to apply that stance to the process of supervision, and finally to offer practitioners immediately accessible resources for relational supervision. Within a relational perspective, supervisor and supervisees are viewed as partners who co-construct the supervisory process. Unlike other approaches to supervision where the emphasis is on specific techniques and strategies for supervision, the relational orientation of this book invites supervisor and supervisee into different understandings of the supervisory interaction. This orientation directs our attention to the importance of co-creating the therapeutic relation/alliance with special attention to the wellbeing of the the supervisee and the supervisor. Supervision, from this perspective, is focused on what participants are making together rather than on the individual abilities, strengths, and weaknesses of either the supervisor or the supervisee.Table of Contents1.

Springer International Publishing AG Treatment of Sex Offenders: Strengths and
Book SynopsisThis rigorous survey offers a comprehensive rethinking of the assessment and treatment of sexual offenders for a bold challenge to practitioners. It critiques what we understand about offenders and the mechanisms of offending behaviors, and examines how this knowledge can best be used to reduce offending and relapses. To this end, experts weigh the efficacy of common assessment methods and interventions, the value of prevention programs, and the validity of the DSM’s classifications of paraphilias. This strengths/weaknesses approach gives professional readers a guide to the current state as well as the future of research, practice, and policy affecting this complex and controversial field. Included in the coverage: Strengths of actuarial risk assessment. Risk formulation: the new frontier in risk assessment and management. Dynamic risk factors and offender rehabilitation: a comparison of the Good Lives Model and the Risk-Need-Responsivity Model. The best intentions: flaws in sexually violent predator laws. Desistance from crime: toward an integrated conceptualization for intervention. From a victim/offender duality to a public health perspective. A call to clear thought and accurate action, Treatment of Sex Offenders will generate discussion and interest among forensic psychologists, psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, and social workers. Trade Review“High-profile authors have written 14 chapters covering a wide range of topics, including risk assessment, assessment of disordered sexual arousal, strengths and weaknesses of treatment, and community control. ... Treatment of Sex Offenders is a well-written book … edited by two well-respected figures in the field. ... this appears to be an important contribution to the field and will prove to be quite useful for documenting the current state-of-the-art in assessment and treatment of sexual offenders.” (Anita Schlank, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 61 (36), September, 2016)“The intended audience is forensic psychologists, psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, and social workers. The book is written by an international collection of authors from the U.S., the U.K., Canada, Germany, and New Zealand. … This book does a good job of discussing both theoretical and clinical issues. The strengths/weaknesses approach helps clinicians to better understand what works and what does not. It should be in the libraries of professionals and researchers who work with sexual offenders.” (Gary B. Kaniuk, Doody's Book Reviews, August, 2016)Table of ContentsProblems in diagnosis.- Problems in classification: major vs. minor paraphilias.- A brief history of risk assessment.- Strengths of risk assessment.- Weaknesses of risk assessment.- Community control of sex offenders.- Phallometry vs. viewing time.- Polygrtaphy in the treatment of sex offenders.- Shortcomings of sex offender treatment.- Two models: Risk-Need-Responsibility (RNR) vs. Good Lives Model (GLM).- Desistance-focused rehabilitation of sex offenders.- The strengths of sex offender treatment.- Civil commitment of "sexual predators".- Prevention of sex offending: the public health approach.- Early detection: the case for juvenile sex offender treatment.- Summary and conclusions

Springer International Publishing AG Somatoform and Other Psychosomatic Disorders: A
Book SynopsisThis intriguing volume presents the most contemporary views on the conceptualization and treatment of somatoform disorders and related conditions from experts in psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral approaches. It does so with respect to both perspectives, without advocating for either approach. By presenting expert views from diverse perspectives, the book raises, what is a central point in most of the chapters, that emotion, its processing and regulation, is a cornerstone of these disorders. The volume also highlights the role of pathogenic coping or defense mechanisms like dysfunctional avoidance (from a CBT perspective) and conversion (from the psychodynamic perspective) in the maintenance of psychosomatic symptoms. The volume’s contents include detailed literature reviews on the most common—and most treatment-resistant—mind/body conditions, including chronic pain, responses to trauma, alexithymia, and the spectrum of health anxiety disorders. Noted experts distinguish between types of medically unexplained symptoms, discuss their complex processes, and provide models for intervention where cognitive-behavioral or psychodynamic approaches may be appropriate or effective. And a fascinating case study of a patient presenting multiple trauma-related disorders explores therapist resourcefulness over a course of shifting symptoms and frustrating setbacks. Among the topics covered: Maintaining mechanisms of health anxiety: current state of knowledge. Negative affect and medically unexplained symptoms. Alexithymia as a core trait in psychosomatic and other psychological disorders. Trauma and its consequences for body and mind. Embodied memories, a new pathway to the unconcious. Psychotherapy among HIV patients: a look at a psychoimmunological research study after 20 years. Health anxiety: a cognitive-behavioral framework. The wealth of options discussed in Somatoform and Psychosomatic Disorders offers health psychologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, counselors, and psychoanalysts bold new ideas for case formulation, treatment planning, and intervention with some of their most intractable cases.Table of ContentsSomatoform disorders from a psychodynamic perspective.- Trauma and its consequences for body and mind.- Maintaining mechanisms in illness and anxiety.- Alexithymia as a trait in psychosomatic disordrs: current evidence.- Accept pain for a vital life: acceptance and commitment therapy for the management of chronic pain.- Treating health anxiety and somatization in a partial hospital setting.- Somatization and medically unexplained symptoms from the perspective of health psychology.- Can psychotherapy influence the immune system of HIV patients?.- Emotions and medically unexplained symptoms.- A case of a patient with irritable bowel syndrome.- Conclusions.

Springer International Publishing AG Critical Leadership Theory: Integrating
Book SynopsisThis book contributes five novel tenets for building a critical theory of leadership studies. Drawing from transdisciplinary insights, these tenets help shape the emerging field of inquiry. They also facilitate the examination of normative social processes that reinscribe hegemonic power relations — because much of what is accomplished in current leadership scholarship, teaching, and practice reinforces these power relations. The book begins by contrasting critical theory with positivist approaches to analyzing social phenomena, and what follows is an exploration of four broad disciplines using sub-components of leadership as an investigatory lens. The resulting five tenets are presented and discussed so that they may be picked up and used by scholars contributing to the developing field of critical leadership studies.Table of ContentsWhy is critical theory important?.- Interlude - Prepare for Exploring Movement and Direction through Transdisciplinary Vectors.- Exploring Movement and Direction in Aesthetics.- Exploring Movement and Direction in Social Sciences.- Exploring Movement and Direction in Animal Science.- Exploring Movement and Direction in Engineering.- Tenets of Critical Leadership Theory and their Implications.

Die Autoren stützen sich auf eine Analyse von mehr als 1200 Familienunternehmen und stellen sechs Grundformen von Familienunternehmen vor: Kapitän, Herrscher, Familienteam, professionelle Familie, Körperschaft und Familieninvestitionsgruppe. Für jede einzelne dieser Grundformen beschreiben sie Entwicklungsstadien und die dazugehörigen Komplexitäts-, Effektivitäts-, und Risikoparameter. Die Autoren beginnen mit der Darstellung der Geschichte der Familienunternehmensführung und führen darauf aufbauend eine Formel zur Führung sowie eine Typologisierung von Familienunternehmen ein. Schließlich beschreiben sie Folgen, die sich aus den unterschiedlichen Unternehmensmodellen für die Unternehmensführung ergeben. Jedes Modell, so zeigt sich, birgt andere Herausforderungen in sich, aber alle auch die Chance, sich als Familienunternehmen erfolgreich am Markt zu behaupten und als Unternehmerfamilie zu harmonieren.
