Nova Science Publishers Inc Expanding Horizons of the Mind Science
Book SynopsisThe journey of Mind Sciences in India has been through the peaks and troughs. It is generally accepted that no other cultural tradition except Indian has given so much attention to the matters of mind and consciousness. Yet, recognition to the sciences studying Mind like Psychology as a scientific discipline came in very late. There were only a handful of Universities in India which had independent Departments of Psychology or Neuroscience at the time of India''s independence. In the last few decades, Mind Sciences in the country have picked steam resulting in major discussions and interactions across disciplines like Psychology, Neuroscience and Computer Science. This book examines the expanding horizons of the Mind Sciences.

Progressive Press Telementation: Cosmic Feeling & the Law of
Book SynopsisTelementation is an ancient meditative art form, the true nature of our deep inner self, and the most productive way to carry out the law of attraction, Christian mysticism, or Zen Buddhism. It is virtually unknown to modern people, but has been recognised by shamans, Zen Buddhists, mystics, and philosophers as the ultimate power in the universe, which is possessed by everyone. This is a short instruction manual on how to carry out the law of attraction with great ease and productivity, by directing one''s inner feelings in a specific way. Many students attempting this become frustrated due to their great efforts and poor results. In Telementation, this is remedied by focusing on feelings rather than beliefs, and the law of attraction is then achieved with Zen-like ease and dramatic success. Telementation consequently creates a revolution in one''s life that ends nearly all personal problems, as it brings a person back to their innate, inalienable greatness and poetical inner peace. Telementation is also particularly productive for those who want a simple guidebook on how to carry out Buddhist meditation or Christian spirituality, for those who have had trouble attaining ecstatic spiritual and religious experience through meditation, and for those unable to overcome depression by conventional methods.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Psychology of Denial
Book SynopsisIn psychology, denial is a concept originating with the psychodynamic theories of Sigmund Freud. According to Freud, three mental dynamics, or motivating forces, influence human behaviour: the id, ego, and superego. These three forces all have different goals (id, pleasure; ego, reality; superego, morality) and continually strive for dominance, resulting in internal conflict. This conflict produces anxiety. The ego, which functions as a mediator between the two extremes of the id and the superego, attempts to reduce this anxiety by using defence mechanisms. Defence mechanisms are indirect ways of dealing or coping with anxiety, such as explaining problems away or blaming others for problems. Denial is one of many defence mechanisms. It entails ignoring or refusing to believe an unpleasant reality. Defense mechanisms protect one''s psychological well-being in traumatic situations, or in any situation that produces anxiety or conflict. This book presents original research in this exciting and thought-provoking field.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Bio-Psycho-Social Perspectives on Interpersonal
Book SynopsisThe purpose of the book is to analyse interpersonal violence from an international, multi-thematic and theoretically-diverse perspective. An international team of scholars offers theoretical explanations and research results related to this insidious manifestation of aggressive behaviour. They also discuss the effectiveness of interventional programs and their evaluations. The text includes a wide range of topics on interpersonal violence, unveiling its multi-factorial nature. The resulting models involve situational and personal explanations of this instance of violence, including the analysis of complex relations among those factors. Neuropsychological variables, for instance, are studied as risk factors for antisocial behaviour; authors in this book show that neuropsychological delay makes juveniles vulnerable and prone to criminal acts.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Psychology of Thinking
Book SynopsisPsychology has long influenced our thinking about teaching and learning. However, earlier influences of psychology on education were more about not thinking than what we now consider to be the thinking processes necessary for life and work in the 21st century. The narrow boundaries of behaviourism have given way to the complexities of critical thinking, creativity, analysis, connection making and the self-management skills of decision-making, planning and self-evaluation. This book focuses on raising the awareness of scientists and other readers to a form of thinking called design thinking, as well as major findings regarding the affective, motivational and cognitive consequences of insurmountable obstacles and their impact on the thinking process.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Expression & Control of the Pain Body
Book SynopsisThis book discusses how all emotional pains suffered by the individual remain a part their unconscious for the rest of their life. All negative emotions, emotional suffering that the individual refuses to face, leave a mark in their unconscious. It is particularly difficult to be faced with, as well as to treat, powerful negative emotions in childhood. Such unprocessed emotional pains constitute the foundations of Pain Body. Apprehension, hatred, self-pity, remorse, rage, depression, envy, etc. are all manifestations of the Pain Body. This book develops measuring instruments that may serve as an aid in the recognition of the manifestation of the Pain Body, and also shows the degree of control over the Pain Body.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Managing Interpersonal Sensitivity: Knowing When
Book SynopsisFindings from the past two decades of interpersonal sensitivity research presented a big surprise to the researchers who were working in this area. These findings, at first suggestive and then unmistakably clear, showed that scores on various interpersonal sensitivity measures were not as stable as scores on other measures of cognitive ability (for example, IQ scores) seemed to be. The accumulating data further suggested that differences in situationally-evoked motivational states were the most probable cause of these variations in interpersonal sensitivity. This book examines this discovery and how it has completely changed the research agenda for those working in this field of study.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Individual Trauma: Recovering from Deep Wounds &
Book SynopsisLife is a mix of good and bad happenings and sometimes terrible things happen to people. Trauma is evident across our lifespan; it is part of our lives. Trauma may not exert the same demands on the individual when they get on with their lives or experience other positive aspects of what life has to offer; however, it does not change its form from trauma to growth -- it stays there etched into our psyche as trauma. In simple terms, growth occurs alongside the traumatic etchings. This is a book that will provide some answers to psychologists, counsellors, social workers and mental health workers about what happens to people who are traumatised and how they ''get on with their lives''; it also gives some excellent examples of how therapies can assist them in moving forward in life''s journey.
