Taylor & Francis Ltd The Making of the Good Person
Book SynopsisThis book provides a philosophical assessment of the idea of personhood advanced in popular self-help literature. It also traces, within academic philosophy and philosophical scholarship, a self-help culture where the self is brought forth as an object of improvement and a key to meaning, progress, and profundity. Unlike other academic treatments of the topic of self-help, this book is not primarily concerned with providing a critique of popular self-help and self-transformative practices. Rather, it is concerned with how they work to shape contemporary forms and ideals of moral personhood and are conducive to moral renegotiation and change. The book consists of two parts with somewhat different argumentative strategies. Part 1 consists of an overview and reassessment of popular self-help literature and its sociological and journalistic critics, written from a moral philosophical perspective. Part 2 opens with discussion of the current attraction, among a range of philosopherTrade Review"Hämäläinen’s book is unique in bringing out how popular self-help literature not only reflects but also shapes contemporary forms and ideals of moral personhood, being a place of constant moral renegotiation; an insight bought in dialogue with her clear analysis of philosophical concerns with self-transformation."Anne-Marie S.

Taylor & Francis Ltd A Psychoanalytic Approach to Sexual Difference
Book SynopsisA Psychoanalytic Approach to Sexual Difference analyzes the concepts of sex and gender, showing how sexual difference is characterized by ongoing transformations of spatiality and body, and of essentiality and normativity.In this book, Jennifer Yusin presents a psychoanalytic study that engages with clinical cases, philosophies of sex and gender, and psychoanalytic writings about sexual difference. She deftly and accessibly analyzes Freud's and Lacan's work on feminine sexuality, Winnicott's notion of the transitional object, and theories of sexuality and gender developed by Judith Butler and Monique Wittig, among others. Yusin starts with the question of how the lack of any essential definition of sexual difference affects subjectivity. She places an emphasis on the psychoanalytic experience and its effects upon how a subject experiences the difference between being a body and having a body.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Life Skills and Adolescent Mental Health
Book SynopsisCan school teach us to master life? This book confronts what the author sees as an ongoing trend in many Western democracies where citizens are increasingly being held accountable for their health and happiness.The author believes that the introduction of life skills in school shows a tendency to place more responsibility on the individual rather than address fundamental societal flaws that really should be solved politically. It examines how such responsibility to psychologically deal with these problems affects our mental health and quality of life. This book questions the fundamentals of the life mastery curriculum where we might be risking the creation of just another arena where children have to perform, challenging readers to evaluate more closely the premises, consequences and limitations of life mastery.The book, one of the first to question life mastery' as an achievable goal with critical reviews of the 21st century skills movement, will be of interest to psyTrade Review‘Around the world, governments are now considering introducing life skills as a subject for children in schools.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Apologies from Death Row
Book SynopsisApologies from Death Row explores the notion of remorse, apologies, and forgiveness within the context of capital punishment in the United States, through the final words of offenders on death row, and the covictims' responses to them in their statements to the press after witnessing the execution. The book demonstrates that there is evidence that some offenders on death row are truly remorseful and that some of the family members of their victims could benefit from this remorse, but that this is unlikely in the current system of capital punishment. Drawing from the fields of criminology, psychology, and sociology, the book begins with a theoretically informed introduction to the concepts of remorse and forgiveness, followed by an exploration of apology and forgiveness specifically in the context of capital punishment. It discusses how some initiatives within the criminal justice system, such as apology laws and restorative justice programmes, are being used tTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Perpetrators of Mass Atrocities
Book SynopsisThe 9/11 attacks, as well as the ones in Madrid, London, Paris and Brussels; the genocides in Nazi Germany, Rwanda and Cambodia; the torture in dictatorial regimes; the wars in former Yugoslavia, Syria and Iraq and currently in Ukraine; the sexual violence during periods of conflict, all make us wonder: why would anyone do something like that? Who are these people? Drawing on 30 years of research, in this book Alette Smeulers explores the perpetrators of mass atrocities such as war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and terrorism. Examining questions of why people kill and torture and how mass atrocities can be explained, Smeulers presents a typology of perpetrators, with different ranks, roles and motives.Devoting one chapter to each type of perpetrator, the book combines insights from academic research with illustrative case studies of well-known perpetrators, from dictators to middlemen, to lower ranking officials and terrorists. Their stories are explored in depth Trade Review"In this ground-breaking volume, Prof. Smeulers summarizes findings of three decades of research on perpetrators of mass atrocities. On the basis of her extensive database, she developed an original classification of more than a dozen types of perpetrators. Surprisingly, this typology manages to unlock the door to a new and differentiated understanding of evil as specific human weaknesses that allow certain manifestations of violence to occur. In doing so, she offers the international criminal justice system a new instrument to assess levels of responsibility for crimes against humanity, genocide, war crimes and terrorism."Prof. em. Alex P. Schmid, former Research Coordinator of PIOOM the Interdisciplinary Research Programme on Root Causes of Human Rights Violations."This is an outstanding book.

Building a bridge to the courtroom, Smeulers’ typology is key to apprehend individual criminal responsibility.

Drawing on her previous work about persons engaged in extreme violence and serious human rights violations, she has now produced an extensive and innovative typology of perpetrators. Each of them contains activities, justifications, personality traits and the social context of specific offenders and their offences.

Taylor & Francis Understanding Climate Anxiety
Book SynopsisHow should we react to climate anxiety? This accessible book discusses anxiety and other emotions brought on by climate change, examining what climate anxiety is, why it is becoming so prevalent and how it differs from other types of anxiety.Written by an expert psychologist, the book examines why climate anxiety is developing so rapidly, particularly in younger people. It looks at how it can manifest differently- sometimes as hopelessness or despair, and sometimes as anger which can serve as a catalyst for action. The book dives into the nuance around climate anxiety, questioning what we can do about it or whether climate anxiety should be pathologized at all, given the very real threat of climate change. It considers cognitive biases that underlie information processing and discusses how politics and interest groups affect peopleâs views. Seeking to understand the polarisation that occurs around this topic, the book puts forward how we might alleviate climate anxiety without minimising serious concern about climate change.This highly topical book will be of great interest to students of psychology, environmental science and social science. It will also be of interest to psychologists, mental health professionals and climate communicators, as well as anyone interested in learning more about climate anxiety.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Handbook of Attitudes Volume 2 Applications
Book SynopsisAttitudes are evaluations of people, places, things, and ideas. They help us to navigate through a complex world. They provide guidance for decisions about which products to buy, how to travel to work, or where to go on vacation. They color our perceptions of others. Carefully crafted interventions can change attitudes and behavior. Yet attitudes, beliefs, and behavior are often formed and changed in casual social exchanges. The mere perception that other peopleâsay, rich peopleâ favor something may be sufficient to make another person favor it. Peopleâs own actions also influence their attitudes, such that they adjust to be more supportive of the actions. Peopleâs belief systems even change to align with and support their preferences, which at its extreme is a form of denial for which people lack awareness.These two volumes of The Handbook of Attitudes provide authoritative, critical surveys of theory and research about attitudes, beliefs, persuasion, and behavior from key authors in these areas. This second volume covers applications to measurement, behavior prediction, and interventions in the areas of cancer, HIV, substance use, diet, and exercise, as well as in politics, intergroup relations, aggression, migrations, advertising, accounting, education, and the environment.Table of ContentsI.

Baumeister reflects on his distinguished career as an eminent scholar in the field of self-control and self-regulation, as well as belonging, rejection, free will, and consciousness. Offering a unique perspective on both the program of research in ego-depletion as one of social psychologyâs most widely successful theories, and its position in the changing landscape of the scientific field, the book charts Baumeisterâs development as one of the pioneers of study into self-control. Featuring a newly written introductory piece in which the author offers a unique insight into the initial findings that led to an eventual theory of ego-depletion, this collection will give readers a vital undTable of Contents Introduction Ego depletion: is the active self a limited resource?

Taylor & Francis Psychosocial Development in Adolescence
Book SynopsisOver recent years, it has become clear that group-based approaches cannot directly be used to understand individual adolescent development. For that reason, interest in dynamic systems theory, or DST, has increased rapidly. Psychosocial Development in Adolescence: Insights from the Dynamic Systems Approach covers state-of-the-art insights into adolescent development that have resulted from adopting a dynamic systems approach.The first chapter of the book provides a basic introduction into dynamic systems principles and explains their consequences for the study of psychosocial development in adolescence. Subsequently, different experts discuss why and how we should apply a dynamic systems approach to the study of the adolescent transition period and psychological interventions. Various examples of the application of a dynamic systems approach are showcased, ranging from basic to more advanced techniques, as well as the insights they have generated. These applications cover a variety of fundamental topics in adolescent development, ranging from the development of identity, morality, sexuality, and peer networks, to more applied topics such as psychological interventions, educational dropout, and talent development.This book will be invaluable to both beginner and expert-level students and researchers interested in a dynamic systems approach and in the insights that it has yielded for adolescent development.Trade ReviewResearchers studying adolescent development have often identified that one size does not fit all. For a long time we have lacked the proper tools to explore these individual processes in adolescent development. Psychosocial Development in Adolescence: Insights from the Dynamic Systems Approach is a roadmap for encouraging wonder and discovery of these individual processes. Now it is time to make a difference and take seriously the individual processes when studying adolescent development. Dynamic Systems Approach (DSA) is the fundamental approach behind the roadmap. Like any forefront scientific investigation, DSA gives us new tools and methods to examine individual processes. It seems possible that widespread use of these techniques could spur a return to the kind of new approach that is now needed in adolescent research globally. Psychosocial Development in Adolescence: Insights from the Dynamic Systems Approach is a much needed call to join an important new approach. It encourages us all to ask new questions. It inspires us to share the questions we ask every day. It motivates us to keep asking until we find routes to the answers. In a world where understanding diverse and individual pathways is essential, the DSA approach offers a richer way to solve these problems as a worldwide community of curious people who wonder about the fundamental new insights of the adolescent development.Professor Katariina Salmela-Aro, Educational Sciences, University of Helsinki, FinlandTable of ContentsContentsChapter 1.

Taylor & Francis Populism and the European Culture Wars The
Book SynopsisConcern and hostility towards populism has become a distinctive feature of contemporary political culture. In Europe such concerns are frequently directed at Eurosceptics, whose opposition to the European Union is often portrayed as a cultural crime. Ancient anti-democratic claims about the gullibility, ignorance and irrationality of the masses are frequently recycled through the anti-populist condemnation of people who vote the wrong way.This book argues that the current outburst of anti-populist anxiety is symptomatic of a loss of faith in democracy and in the ability of the demos to assume the role of responsible citizens. Distrust of the people and of parliamentary sovereignty is reinforced by the concern that, on its own, liberal democracy lacks the normative foundation to inspire the loyalty and affection of ordinary citizens. Through focusing on the conflict between the European Unionâs Commission and the Government of Hungary, this book explores contrasting attitudes towards national sovereignty, popular sovereignty and the question of tradition and the past as the main drivers of the culture war in Europe.Table of ContentsPreface Introduction 1. Who Decides Europe’s Values? 2. Why Hide Our Shared Values? The Problem of Tradition 3. National Consciousness vs Denationalized Identity 4. Memory Wars or the Crusade Against the Past 5.

Book SynopsisAdvertising, Gender and Society explores contemporary social-psychological theory and original research that examines the portrayal of gender in advertising. It reports empirical data, discusses the social implications of gendered advertising and comments on the relevant 2019 ASA rules. Zawisza-Riley analyses theories such as stereotype content and elaboration likelihood models, stereotype threat and ambivalent sexism theories, the selectivity hypothesis as well as implicit and embodied cognition to illuminate the relationships between sex, gender and advertising in cultural and social contexts. The author thus examines the portrayal of gender in advertising, its effectiveness and effect on audiences and the ways in which audiences, marketers and policy-makers can mitigate potential harm of gendered advertising.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Socialisation During the Life Course
Book SynopsisThis comprehensive text highlights new developments in sociological, educational and psychological aspects of socialisation, examining how human beings as ''subjects'' experiencing, thinking and acting individuals confront the material, social and cultural ''objects'' of their environment and sustain their position. The authors provide an overview of the most important theories of socialisation, then integrate these using the Productive Processing of Reality (PPR) model. This novel approach is applied to a life course analysis, examining developmental tasks and the challenges of productive processing of the internal and external reality at various stages of development. The book also considers contexts, addressing the inequalities between different socio-economic and ethnic groups and genders, to consider how humans with their genetic dispositions and their individual instincts and needs solve the task of coping with the requirements of society, culture and economy while atTrade Review"Socialisation seems like such a simple topic at first glance, but, as this book illustrates so well, the interactions between person and environment that constitute socialisation are incredibly complex.

Book SynopsisPsychological Aspects of Crisis Negotiation, Third Edition, explores the methods and strategies for confronting the nine types of subjects typically encountered in hostage/suicide sieges by correctional staff and law enforcement crisis negotiators. Strentz, an experienced negotiator who designed and directed the FBI's hostage negotiator program, lays out the critical elements that are required for a successful encounter with a hostage taker or other malfeasant.This book highlights psychological dynamics of negotiations as they apply to the negotiator, the hostage, and the subject. It discusses the predictors of surrender versus the need for a tactical intervention and examines the phases of a hostage crisis and the changing focus as the crisis develops. Referencing historical events such as the Bay of Pigs invasion and the Challenger and Columbia incidents, this text demonstrates how faulty group decision making can spell tragedy.Enhanced with case studies to Trade Review"Psychological Aspects of Crisis Negotiation addresses issues that other books don't cover in great detail.

Book SynopsisThis book explores the invisibility and invalidation of bisexuality from the past to the present and is unique in extending the discussion to focus on contemporary and emerging identities. Nikki Hayfield draws on research from psychology and the social sciences to offer a detailed and in-depth exploration of the invisibility and invalidation of bisexuality, pansexuality, and asexuality.The book discusses how early sexologists' understood gender and sexuality within a binary model and how this provided the underpinnings of bisexual invisibility. The existing research on biphobia and bisexual marginalisation is synthesised to explore how bisexuality has often been invisible or invalidated. Hayfield then evidences clear examples of the invisibility and invalidation of bisexuality, pansexuality, and asexuality within education, employment, mainstream mass media, and the wider culture.

Book SynopsisWe can''t imagine our lives without the Internet. It is the tool of our existence; without it we couldn''t work, plan our social and leisure activities, and interact with friends. The Internet's influence on contemporary society extends across every aspect of our personal and professional lives, but how has this altered us in psychological terms? How are we to understand how the Internet can promote enormous amounts of caring and kindness to strangers and yet be the source of unremitting acts of terror? This book, grounded in the latest cutting-edge research, enhances our understanding of how we, and our children, behave online. It explores questions such as: Why does our self-control abandon us sometimes on the Internet? Why does the Internet create a separate realm of social and personal relationships? How does all that change us as people? Are youngsters really as exposed and threatened on the web as people think? Internet Trade Review‘This outstanding book presents an excellent overview of the psychology of the internet, analysing how our notions of anonymity, exposure, control, accessibility and equality will be revolutionalized in an on-line environment. It explains how the digital age will force us to re-think our conventional ideas about romance, relationships, aggression, parenting and group behaviour. The book will be of interest to researchers, students and practitioners not only in psychology, but in all related disciplines as well where the internet changed the way we relate to each other.' - Joseph Paul Forgas, AM, DPhil, DSc.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Social Psychology in Forensic Practice
Book SynopsisThis book explores how different social psychology theories and concepts can be applied to practice. Considering theories from attribution theory to coercion theory, social identity theories to ostracism, the authors offer a greater understanding and appreciation of the ways in which social psychology can contribute to forensic practice. The book argues that social psychology is useful for carrying out assessments (including risk assessments), formulations, and interventions with clients in forensic settings, as well as for psychological consultation, training, and the development of services. These theories are also important when understanding multi-disciplinary and multi-agency working, staffclient relationships, and peer-to-peer relationships. Through illustrative composite case examples, taken from the authors' experiences in forensic settings, the chapters demonstrate effective ways to pursue a theoretically informed practice. Exploring a broad rangTrade Review"This is an excellent and timely review of the pertinent research related to social psychology and forensic practice. The writing is impeccable and engaging, the examples vivid, and the implications profound. The authors have gone beyond the boundaries that most books on this topic cover, making it truly unique, generative, and worth having on your bookshelf."Kipling D. Williams, Distinguished Professor, Department of Psychological Sciences, Purdue University, USA"This gem of a text invites us to shine a light through the many layers of complexity in forensic practice, providing exciting new social psychological perspectives on critical issues: power, attribution, ostracism, impression management, to name a few. From time to time, the unique world of forensic services feels like a turbulent, risk-saturated tinderbox, an imbalanced and imperfect world where the majority are typically related to as less powerful than the minority who hold the keys.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Crime and Crime Reduction
Book SynopsisThe problems associated with groups that commit crime are well known and notoriously complex. However, there are many questions that we still cannot answer with certainty. This book seeks to deepen understanding of the group processes involved in crime and the treatment of offenders' thoughts and behaviour. Together, the chapters in this volume address the following questions: Are people more likely to commit crime because of the influence of their group? Does group membership cause people to become criminals, or does the group merely foster people's pre-existing criminal inclinations? How does group membership exert such a strong hold on people so that some risk imprisonment or even death, rather than relinquish their membership? The contributors to Crime and Crime Reduction consider the social psychological influences of groups and specific forms of group crime such as street and prison gangs, terrorism, organized criminal networksTrade ReviewMost people agree that crime is a bad thing and that rather less of it would be a good thing. At a time when a great deal of psychology research has retreated to the biological interior, it is refreshing to see this excellent text put social psychology to work in the cause of crime reduction. - Clive Hollin, Professor of Criminological Psychology, School of Psychology, University of Leicester, UKMost people agree that crime is a bad thing and that rather less of it would be a good thing.

Book SynopsisArithmetic is still hugely important in many aspects of modern life, but our personal attitudes to it differ greatly. Many people struggle with the basic principles of arithmetic, whilst others love it and feel confident in their arithmetical abilities. Why are there so many individual differences in people's performance in, and feelings about, arithmetic? Individual Differences in Arithmetic explores the idea that there is no such thing as arithmetical ability, only arithmetical abilities. The book discusses several important components of arithmetic, from counting principles and procedures to arithmetical estimation, alongside emotional and cognitive components of arithmetical performance. This edition has been extensively revised to include the latest research, including recent cross-cultural and cross-linguistic research, the development of new interventions for children with difficulties and studies of early foundations of mathematical abilitiTable of ContentsIntroduction Individual Differences in Arithmetic: Children, Adults, Males, Females, Weaknesses and Talents There Is No Such Thing as Arithmetical Ability – Only Arithmetical Abilities Relationships Between Arithmetic and Other Abilities Counting and After: The Importance of Individual Differences Is Arithmetic a Foreign Language?: Representing Numbers and Arithmetic Problems in Different Forms and Translating Between Them Derived Fact Strategies A Good Guess: Estimation and Individual Differences Arithmetic Facts, Procedures and Different Forms of Memory Effects of Culture, Language and Experience The Brain and Individual Differences in Arithmetic "Maths Doesn't Like Me Anymore": The Role of Attitudes and Emotions Implications for Helping Children with Their Arithmetical Difficulties Some Practical Guides to Helping Children with Mathematical Difficulties Bibliography

Taylor & Francis Ltd Please Help Me With This Family
Book SynopsisPlease Help Me With This Family is based on the premise that it is generally useful to expand the therapeutic system when it is not working. By calling in additional resources when therapy reaches an impasse, the therapist is giving two strong messages to stuck families-(1)the admission of the failure of the present system to grow beyond the impasse, and (2) a model of creativity in recruiting resources to improve chances of success. Often, the resources in the large system hold the keys to uncovering and correcting troublesome relationships and behaviors in the smaller system. Please Help Me With This Family is divided into four major sections, each illustrating unique approaches and methods for unlocking resources in family and therapeutic systems. The first section opens with a comprehensive review of the theoretical roots of family therapy consultation, followed by a discussion of the different faces of consultation around the world; a detailed case study of an anorectic family in Table of ContentsContributors, Foreword, Preface, Acknowledgments, I.

Book SynopsisWhat is prejudice in the 21st Century and how can education help to reduce it?This original text discusses prejudice in detail, offering a clear analysis of research and theory on prejudice and prejudice reduction, drawn from findings in social psychology, critical thinking and education. Presenting the underlying principle that prejudice can be reduced through the development of four core attributes empathy, understanding, cognitive flexibility and metacognitive thought the book offers effective educational strategies for preparing young people for life.Chapters explore a range of examples of classroom practice and provide a thorough engagement with the minefield of prejudice, set against challenging sociological, ideological, political and cultural questions. An integrative framework is included that can be adapted and adopted in schools, synthesising findings and emphasising the need for individuals and groups to work against preconceived belTrade ReviewConrad Hughes does us a real service in providing a very well-founded understanding of prejudice. But he goes further, and takes it beyond inert knowledge into cogent classroom practice aimed at countering prejudice, changing pernicious beliefs, and developing values which pay more than lip-service to this fundamental human right. This is a book for all teachers and those who train them.Professor Doug Newton, Durham University, UKConrad Hughes’ work is an original and profound contribution to academic literature in the field of education. He investigates a problem that is at once age-old and extremely contemporary: how to transform inequality and discrimination and by which intellectual, educational and pedagogical means.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Affect and Cognition in Criminal Decision Making
Book SynopsisResearch and theorizing on criminal decision making has not kept pace with recent developments in other fields of human decision making. Whereas criminal decision making theory is still largely dominated by cognitive approaches such as rational choice-based models, psychologists, behavioral economists and neuroscientists have found affect (i.e., emotions, moods) and visceral factors such as sexual arousal and drug craving, to play a fundamental role in human decision processes.This book examines alternative approaches to incorporating affect into criminal decision making and testing its influence on such decisions. In so doing it generalizes extant cognitive theories of criminal decision making by incorporating affect into the decision process. In two conceptual and ten empirical chapters it is carefully argued how affect influences criminal decisions alongside rational and cognitive considerations. The empirical studies use a wide variety of methods ranging froTrade Review"Personally, the editors (and contributors) convinced me of the critical importance of this field in criminology." Benoit Leclerc, PhD, Senior Lecturer, School of Criminology and Criminal Justice, Griffith UniversityThis collection of papers is a timely and important contribution to our understanding of criminal decision making. It extends the utility of rational choice theory, and enhances its potential for further practical application.Professor Max Taylor, University of St AndrewsSome while ago I called for researchers in situational crime prevention to ‘make offenders richer’, in the sense of adding emotional and motivational depth to the two-dimensional Rational Choice model, valuable though that has been and will continue to be. Understanding the whole person of the offender – by incorporating affect – can both sharpen and widen our options in designing situational interventions, and suggest new interventions that we have not yet envisaged. The authors of this book have enriched the offender indeed, and in so doing have enriched crime science and criminology in a seminal collection of papers that will stimulate research, theory and practice for years to come.Paul Ekblom, Professor of Design Against Crime, University of the Arts LondonThis book makes a unique contribution to the offender decision making literature. Examined in the chapters are the implications of recent developments in emotion research for our understanding of how offenders make decisions. These insights will enhance our knowledge of offending and crime prevention.Professor Anna Stewart, Griffith University, AustraliaTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Hidden Costs of Reward
Book SynopsisOriginally published in 1978, this volume provided a broad survey of the latest research and theory, at the time, concerning the potential detrimental effects of inappropriate uses of tangible rewards to modify behaviour. Overall, this research questions the dominant paradigm within which reinforcers, by definition, have positive effects on performance and subsequent behaviour, and suggests new directions for the study of human motivation. In a series of five original integrative essays, the contributors summarize their own and related research programmes. These theoretical essays are complemented by two introductory chapters, that provide a historical context for this research, and four discussion chapters, that speak to broader issues, including both the implications and limitations of the research presented.This was the latest information on a most provocative area.Table of ContentsPreface.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Transforming Environments and Rehabilitation
Book SynopsisHow can environments play a role in assisting and sustaining personal change in individuals incarcerated within the criminal justice system? Can a failure to address contextual issues reduce or undermine the effectiveness of clinical intervention? Bringing together a range of leading forensic psychologists, this book explores and illustrates inter-relationships between interventions and the environment in which they take place.This book examines how the environment can be better utilised to contribute to processes of change and how therapeutic principles and practices can be more strongly embedded through being applied in supportive, facilitative environments. In addition, it expands on emerging conceptualisations of how psychological functioning and environmental context are inextricably linked and offers an alternative to prevailing intrapsychic or essentialist' views of areas such as personality and cognition.Providing new and challenging insights and Trade Review"Most of us take our context for granted yet would acknowledge the influence that places and people have upon us. However, within forensic settings our attention has tended to focus on locating problems and change in the individual, devoid of context and the world in which people live. As the authors who contribute to this book clearly argue – attention to the context of the person (past and present; social, cultural, organisational and physical) is long overdue. This book provides a firm foundation for addressing this neglect and provides a challenge to systematically consider the context / environment and how we use research to better understand this. This book balances theory and practice from a wide range of viewpoints and settings, with several chapters including case studies and work that is underway or recently completed. The welcome attention to the social component of the bio-psycho-social framework includes a plethora of ideas such as interpersonal dynamics, context, systemic and organisational factors, climate, environment, milieu and formal frameworks such as TC, PIE, PIPE and EE.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Cultural Complex: Contemporary Jungian
Book SynopsisHow do cultural complexes affect the collective psyche? Based on Jung's theory of complexes, this book offers a new perspective on the psychological nature of conflicts between groups and cultures by introducing the concept of the cultural complex. This modern version of Jung's idea offers an original view of the forces that prevent human attempts to bring a peaceful, collaborative spirit to conflict between groups. Leading analysts and academics from a range of cultural backgrounds present their own perspective on the concept, demonstrating how the effects of cultural complexes can be felt in the behaviour of disenfranchised, oppressed and traumatised groups across the world. Ultimately, a clearer understanding of the source and nature of group conflict is reached through discussion of central subjects including: * Collective trauma and cultural complexes* Exploring racism: a clinical example of a cultural complex* Cultural complexes in the history of Jung, Freud and their followers. The Cultural Complex represents a valuable contribution to analytical psychology and will undoubtedly also stimulate dialogue in the fields of sociology, political science and cultural studies.Table of ContentsSinger, Introduction.

Taylor & Francis Ltd What Holds Us Together: Popular Culture and
Book SynopsisFaced by the increasing divisiveness and volatility of electoral politics, and the rise of illiberal fundamentalisms, the social sciences may seem to lack the imagination necessary to make sense of the world. In this unusual book of political psychology, based on the idea that we hold ourselves together through a combination of restraint and release, Barry Richards draws on psychoanalysis and its creative interpretations of everyday experience to consider the current malaise of politics in relation to the huge vitality of popular culture. In a wide-ranging analysis, that links topics as diverse as our experience of public utilities, the rise of counselling, and the weakened impact of sexual scandal, he concludes with the proposal that a reconstruction of nationalism could make an important contribution to the renewal of democratic politics.Trade ReviewIn this groundbreaking work, Barry Richards demonstrates that burgeoning social change may have a healing and containing effect on the climate of fear wrought by the global deterioration of political life – a disquietude that threatens our connections to each other and the world around us. In a few pages, he tackles our unconsciously shared anxieties with a clarity and intelligence that is psychologically astute, culturally refreshing, and ultimately hopeful. This book inspires and informs, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a deeper understanding of the frightening times in which we live.’- Justin A. Frank, MD, author of Obama on the Couch, and the forthcoming Trump on the Couch‘Barry Richards provides another avenue to important questions of social psychology: How can we understand the internal psychic conditions of coping with the external world? How can we investigate what “holds societies together” in a deeper psychological sense – in a sense that doesn’t only analyse problematic forms of individual adaptation or damaging kinds of submission to social reality? To answer these questions the author concentrates mainly on what he formulates as a need to establish a containing relationship to the external world. Anyone involved in analysing the complex relationship between internal and external realities and between sociology and psychoanalysis will find inspiring new ideas in this interesting book.’- Vera King, Sigmund-Freud-Institut and Goethe University, Frankfurt, Germany‘Popular culture and its political expression “populism” is a giant materialising out of the mists to haunt the elite and the intellectuals alike. It is best we get to know it. This book gives us a sketch map of the territory on which these new manifestations occur. It is a surprisingly hopeful read as it surveys the important dialectic of our own selves embedded within our collective world.’- R. D. Hinshelwood, fellow of the British Psychoanalytical Society and professor in the Centre of Psychoanalytic Studies, University of Essex"Drawing on Freud’s pleasure principle, he argues that popular culture (football, popular music, consumer culture) offers a pleasurable libidinal and aggressive release that cannot escape social norms and values that must be adhered to in order to co-exist in society. As such, popular culture’s derivative is the id and society’s norms the superego, and, it is the tension between the two that makes popular culture containing.Although academic in tone and focus, the book indirectly highlights the significance of politics and popular culture in the therapy room, and how it can influence the client’s feeling of containment or fragmentation."-Marta Moe, Psychodynamic Practice JournalTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd On Group Analysis and Beyond: Group Analysis as
Book SynopsisBy extending the views of Foulkes, Bion, Freud, and Klein, this book draws the outline of a group analytic theory and meta-theory by studying the paternal and maternal functions as expressed by the conductor and the group analytic group respectively and extrapolating them to the psychoanalytic aspects of Lacan and the structuralism of Levi-Strauss's anthropological views. From this perspective, it investigates major group analytic phenomena, such as the role of money, envy, scapegoating and the regular or early ending of group therapy by patients with neurosis and borderline personality disorders. Part of the book is devoted to analyzing how eating disorders or depression in psychosis can be effectively treated and how the defective function of dreaming in psychosis can be reconstituted through group analysis, and stresses the need for research into the neural correlations of dreaming. The book further explores the ways in which group analysis can be used in the domain of the social unconscious by probing the dialectic of desire and despair in the post-modern world. Its conclusion notes the similarities between group analysis and the art of music and illuminates how the act of conducting a group analytic group resembles the art of conducting an orchestra.Trade Review'The lack of a coherent group analytic theory has stimulated many contributions including this excellent book. Anastassios Koukis suggests a new model of the symbolic roles of father and mother in the group that is, quoting Lacan, "kaleidoscopic", freely rotating from conductor to group. With great courage it is discussed that man as a social animal finds his natural place in a group, predetermined by organic inheritance, metaphorically called instinct or drive. The new approach is convincingly followed through the theories of Foulkes and Bion, and the transcultural aspects of groups become easier to understand. Problems of early ontogenetic origin like envy, and inherited ones like psychoses, can be easier to work with, and a comprehensive meta-theory opens up wider scope for group work.'-- A. P. Tom Ormay, training group analyst, and former editor of the journal Group Analysis'Reading this book allows us to get deeply in touch with the psychodynamic approach to the phenomenon of the group. In an interesting and comprehensive way, the author explores the roots of the philosophical and psychological roles and processes that are characteristic of any group, including the transculturality that lies beyond cultural expressions and psychological syndromes. In this way the therapeutic use of groups is enlarged as being applicable to different psychopathologic, as well as psychologically difficult, situations. As a group analyst and musician, the author is very sensitive to tones emanating from participants in his groups, from where he takes clinical examples and inspiration. Sensing the unconscious and preconscious vibrations in a special way, he enters the spheres of the art of composition of the group, connecting them not only with theoretical principles but enlarging them towards meta-theoretical concepts with the rich imagery of a researcher-poet.'-- Professor Ivan Urlic, MD, PhD, neuropsychiatrist and training group analystTable of ContentsSeries Editor's Foreword , Introduction , In Search of a Theory and Meta-Theory of Group Analysis , Principles of the group-analytic group: towards a meta-theory , Paternal function and group analysis as a reverse symmetry of conductor (father) and group (mother): the prospects after Foulkes and Bion , Group Analysis in Operation: Some Fundamental Aspects and Phenomena , Money: from the thing itself to its symbolic death and to recognition of the symbolic father.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Person in Social Psychology
Book SynopsisTraditional social psychology assumes that the person has an already-existing nature that then becomes subject to the influence of the social environment. The Person in Social Psychology challenges this model, drawing on theories from micro-sociology and contemporary European social psychology to suggest a more 'social' re-framing of the person. In this book Vivien Burr has provided a radical new agenda for students of social psychology and sociology. Using concepts familiar to the social psychologist, such as norms, roles, demand characteristics and labelling, she argues for an understanding of the person where the social world is not a set of variables that affect a pre-existing individual, but is instead the arena where the person becomes formed.Trade Review'Vivien Burr's book takes us on a 100 year journey in a very short space and equips the reader with a vision as to how to move forward.' - Richard Mallows, St John' College, York'Burr provides a clear introduction to a wide range of interesting alternatives to experimental social psychology ... it was only when I reached the end of the book that I realised how thorough she had been in going about the business of undermining the foundations of mainstream psychology.' - John L.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Deception
Book SynopsisMost of us think we are about 15 per cent cleverer, nicer, more attractive and better drivers than others think we are. It seems deception begins at home. After all the most convincing liars convince themselves first. Sellers and buyers, parents and children, friends and lovers must conceal from each other the unutterable truth that they don't believe or want the same things. In this book, Ziyad Marar throws a revealing light on the many ways deception is woven into the texture of human life: our wiring leaves us easily suckered by persuasive illusions, while our contradictory desires (for sex and honesty, money and kindness, for cake and losing weight) force us to cook up self-serving stories. We manage flattering impressions with effortless skill, while pretending our sins and self-indulgences are beyond our control.Drawing on insights from philosophy, psychology and literature, Marar explores the implications for living well in the shadow of Kant's humbling thought that "out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made".Trade Review"Marar takes it upon himself to fully explore our two-faced nature in his book, and very enjoyable this exploration is. His references are wide-ranging, covering philosophy, psychology, literature and modern culture, and his language has an easy-going, humorous, down-to-earth quality. This is no obscure philosophical tract, but an intelligently written essay on one of life's more complex areas. Deception is an essential text if we are to disillusion ourselves that in our dealings with each other everything is as straightforward as it first appears." - Culture Wars "For anyone involved in the narrative business (historians, ethicists, students of ideologies, religionists), this could be a very enlightening book, written with reference to a host of interesting references from the literature and the arts and leading the reader to be disturbed - a very good thing." - Australian Journal of Adult LearningTable of ContentsIntroduction 1. Homo credens: the believer 2. Deceiving ourselves: you can't always know what you want 3. Deceiving each other: the techniques of sincerity 4. "It's beyond my control": and other moral masquerades 5.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Decolonizing Global Mental Health: The
Book SynopsisDecolonizing Global Mental Health is a book that maps a strange irony. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Movement for Global Mental Health are calling to ‘scale up’ access to psychological and psychiatric treatments globally, particularly within the global South. Simultaneously, in the global North, psychiatry and its often chemical treatments are coming under increased criticism (from both those who take the medication and those in the position to prescribe it). The book argues that it is imperative to explore what counts as evidence within Global Mental Health, and seeks to de-familiarize current ‘Western’ conceptions of psychology and psychiatry using postcolonial theory. It leads us to wonder whether we should call for equality in global access to psychiatry, whether everyone should have the right to a psychotropic citizenship and whether mental health can, or should, be global. As such, it is ideal reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as researchers in the fields of critical psychology and psychiatry, social and health psychology, cultural studies, public health and social work.Table of ContentsIntroduction De-familiarising GMH: a methodology of Encounters 1. Making Mental Health a Reality for All 2. ‘Harvesting Despair’ –Suicide Notes to the State and Psychotropics in the post 3. Educating, Marketing, Mongering 4.
