Book SynopsisThe European Review of Social Psychology (ERSP) is an e-first journal published under the auspices of the European Association of Social Psychology. ERSP is an international journal which aims to further the international exchange of ideas by providing an outlet for substantial accounts of theoretical and empirical work, whose origins may be, but need not be, European. The emphasis of these contributions is on substantial individual programmes of research and on critical assessment of major areas of research, as well as on topics and initiatives of contemporary interest and originality.All articles published by the European Review, whether commissioned by the editors, assisted by an international board of established scholars, or spontaneously submitted by authors are externally reviewed. Publication is subject to a positive outcome of this review process. ERSP (now in its 21st year) is widely accepted as one of the major international series in social psychology and accessed by all important abstracting and indexing services including the Social Science Citation Index. With its e-first publishing model it offers authors an opportunity to participate in a well-respected publication and to disseminate their ideas quickly, while allowing readers the chance to see individual articles as soon as they are completed, without waiting for a whole volume or issue to be prepared.

Book SynopsisThis book describes Buddhist-Yogic ideas in relation to those of contemporary Western psychology. The book begins with the Buddhist view of the human psyche and of the human condition. This leads to the question of what psychological changes need to be made to improve that condition. Similarities between Buddhism and Western Psychology include:Both are concerned with alleviating inner pain, turmoil, affliction and suffering.Both are humanistic and naturalistic in that they focus on the human condition and interpret it in natural terms.Both view the human being as caught in a causal framework, in a matrix of forces such as cravings or drives which are produced by both our biology and our beliefs. Both teach the appropriatenss of compassion, concern and unconditional positive regard towards others.Both share the ideal of maturing or growth. In the East and the West, this is interpreted as greater self possession, diminished cravings and agitations, less impulsivity and deeper observations which permit us to monitor and change our thoughts and emotional states. Buddhism, Yoga, and Western Psychology, especially the recent emphasis on positive psychology, are concerned with the attainment of deep and lasting happiness. The thesis of all three is that self-transformation is the surest path to this happiness.Trade Review"There are few books that can make a real difference in people’s lives---this is one of them. Levine’s Positive Psychology of Buddhism and Yoga is an intellectual tour-de-force. It is a ‘must read" for any psychologist interested in Eastern thought. Many hundreds of millions of people believe that Enlightenment is the ultimate goal in life. Levine’s new second edition could be the best first step toward become Enlightened that any of us will take." - Professor George Howard, Psychology Department, University of Notre Dame"I think this book is very good in many ways and rooted in sound principles of practice and experiential understanding enriched by some more theoretical study." - Dr Elizabeth De Michelis, Oriel College, Oxford UK"After decades of focusing on mental illness and what is wrong with human nature, psychological science has renewed its interest in the positive aspects of human existence. It is in this vein that Marvin Levine offers a blend of western science and eastern practices to help us become more peaceful and less anxious, a goal that he calls mature happiness. There is much that modern westerners can learn from ancient eastern practices. We can all use a respite from the hectic pace of modern life. Levine's newest book, The Positive Psychology of Buddhism and Yoga, has many ideas and techniques that just might help us become calmer and even happier and wiser. Even the most hardened cynic will find something of value in this book." - Dr. Diane F. Halpern, Professor of Psychology, Claremont McKenna College, Claremont, California "I have never read a clearer or more useful introduction to the positive psychological practices of Buddhism and Yoga. Each page is simply fascinating reading, and appeals simultaneously to the lay reader and the seasoned scholar. The discussion of anger and how to overcome it is life-transforming. I would strongly recommend this book to undergraduates, graduate students, and professionals. One rarely finds a book that reaches right into one's mind and soul with a powerful vision of human enhancement. This is one of them."- Stephen G. Post, Ph.D., Director, Center for Medical Humanities, Compassionate Care, and Bioethics, SUNY Stony Brook, New York"I have never read a clearer or more useful introduction to the positive psychological practices of Buddhism and Yoga.

This book teaches us vital lessons about how these Eastern philosophical traditions can be integrated with Western psychological methods of understanding the mind….I think it has much value to novices as well as to professionals in these areas. As a psychologist, Marvin Levine is uniquely qualified to reveal the strands of overlap between these Eastern views of the human condition and those in Western psychological practices." - Philip Zimbardo, Department of Psychology, Stanford University, Past President of APA"The book is lucid in its explanation of the principles of Buddhism and Yoga. I have never seen a clearer exposition of this kind. It makes a good case that many of these principles are compatible with those of modern, empirically-grounded Western psychology." - Donald Routh, University of Miami"This book has promise of becoming an instant classic." - Suresh Srivastva, Case Western Reserve UniversityTable of ContentsPart 1.

Book SynopsisThis volume brings together classic key concepts and innovative theoretical ideas in the psychology of judgment and decision-making in social contexts. The chapters of the first section address the basic psychological processes underlying judgment and decision-making. The guiding question is "What information comes to mind and how is it transformed?" The second section poses the question of how social judgments and decisions are to be evaluated. The chapters in this section present new quantitative models that help separate various forms of accuracy and bias. The third section shows how judgments and decisions are shaped by ecological constraints. These chapters show how many seemingly complex configurations of social information are tractable by relatively simple statistical heuristics. The fourth section explores the relevance of research on judgment and decision making for specific tasks of personal or social relevance. These chapters explore how individuals can efficiently select mates, form and maintain friendship alliances, judiciously integrate their attitudes with those of a group, and help shape policies that are rational and morally sound. The book is intended as an essential resource for senior undergraduates, postgraduates, researchers, and practitioners.Trade Review"Social Judgment and Decision Making contains valuable accounts of ways in which the study of judgment and decision making in a social setting has progressed. Anyone who is interested in this area can find hypotheses that are worth testing further, useful ideas for research methodology, and important cautions concerning the interpretation of data." - Gordon Pitz, University of North Carolina–Chapel Hill, USA, in PsycCRITIQUES"Social Judgment and Decision Making contains valuable accounts of ways in which the study of judgment and decision making in a social setting has progressed.

The 15 essays address issues of social judgment, rationality, and cognitive and social process influences. Of particular note are chapters covering measurement and research issues.

Book SynopsisExperiences of violence in schools are encountered much more frequently than they used to be. The shocking repercussions of these acts are felt nation-wide and particularly impact school populations, families and communities. This book undertakes to illuminate factors pertaining to the phenomenon of school violence. It is intended for professionals such as school principals, teachers, social workers, psychologists, school administrators, school counselors and all who work directly with youth in various contexts. It is also intended for parents, family and community members, youth advisors and mentors, youth group leaders, religious advisors, counsellors, and others interested in the wellbeing of children and adolescents.Trade ReviewIn exploring the inner worlds of disturbed students the aim of this book is twofold. One important aspect is to bring enhanced understanding of dynamics involved in incidents of school violence to professionals, family members, school staff, and the larger social system. The other facet of this book focuses on the introduction of tools and techniques that can be used to bring out the inner experiences of students that usually remain unspoken and unaddressed. In utilizing dream figures, myth, image, body awareness, and group dialogue, previously ignored or repressed phenomena can find a placein which they can be contained and acknowledged.'School Violence is a vital, timely contribution. Dr Rose recognizes that chronic denial of the daimonic is at least as dangerous in adolescence as adulthood. She skillfully applies the penetrating insights of depth psychology to decipher the deepening epidemic of anger, rage and violence in our schools. This book courageously honors the therapeutic power, wisdom and value in acknowledging and constructively expressing the daimonic or shadow rather than destructively repressing and demonizing it.'- Dr Stephen Diamond, author of Anger, Madness, and the Daimonic'In this helpful new book on school violence, Dr Ingrid Rose brings us theories and new practical methods for understanding and dealing with alienation, revenge, and the place of student conflicts in the larger educational and social systems.'- Dr Arnold Mindell, author of Sitting in the FireTable of ContentsPreface -- Abstract -- Setting the stage -- Depth psychology and school violence -- New ideas on school alienation and violence -- Interventive methods -- Preventive measures -- Group dialogue and the quantum field -- Conclusion and final reflections

Book SynopsisStone's central interests include the development of the self, empathy, narcissism, shame, envy, rage and the group-self. He is concerned with several aspects of clinical technique [and] is especially sensitive to our co-creation of so-called "difficult patients". His understanding of dreams as both personal and group products which manifest visual narratives will be of particular interest to students of the social and collective unconscious. Stone's work with narcissistic and borderline patients developed in parallel with his work with the chronically mentally ill, who are often institutionalised. He demonstrates that group therapy for such patients is not only a matter of containment and holding in the service of administrative control, but also involves interpretative work based on an understanding of the primary need for a good enough self-object. Group analysts will be able to connect these ideas with their own theories of ego training in action, the complementarity and reciprocity of transference and countertransference processes, the maintenance of an optimal balance of involvement and detachment in conducting and convening groups, and finding crucial areas of engagement between the group-as-a-whole and the members of it. This work locates aggression within the system of aggressive feelings, frustration and failures in empathy and care. Clearly, Stone has contributed to the development of an authentic relational perspective in psychoanalytical group therapy.' - From the Introduction by Earl HopperTrade Review'Here is a marvelous collection of papers by one who pioneered the introduction of self psychology into group psychotherapy. It includes the author's classic initial contributions to this venture, as well as recent papers that expand on its application. The last section contains important papers on treatment of the chronically mentally ill with which the author has spent years working and refining technique. This anthology belongs on the shelf of every seasoned clinician.'- Howard D.

Book SynopsisEmotion, Social Theory, and Social Structure takes sociology in a new direction. It examines key aspects of social structure by using a fresh understanding of emotions categories. Through that synthesis emerge new perspectives on rationality, class structure, social action, conformity, basic rights, and social change. As well as giving an innovative view of social processes, J. M. Barbalet's study also reveals unappreciated aspects of emotions by considering fear, resentment, vengefulness, shame, and confidence in the context of social structure. While much has been written on the social consequences of excessive or pathological emotions, this book demonstrates the centrality of emotions to routine operations of social interaction. Dr Barbalet also re-evaluates the nature of social theory, for once the importance of emotions to social processes becomes clear, the intellectual constitution of sociology, and therefore its history, must be rethought.Trade Review' … deserves to become a classic'. Journal of Sociology'I heartily recommend this book to students of the sociology of emotions as well as to sociologists interested in general theoretical issues.' Contemporary SociologyTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1. Emotion in social life and social theory; 2. Emotion and rationality; 3. Class and resentment; 4. Action and confidence; 5. Conformity and shame; 6. Rights, resentment, and vengefulness; 7. Fear and change; Epilogue.

Book SynopsisWho gets called 'emotional'? And what does it mean when that happens? What tells us that a person is 'speaking from the heart'? The prevailing stereotype is that she is emotional, while he is not. In Speaking From the Heart Professor Shields draws on examples from everyday life, contemporary culture and comprehensive research, to reveal how culturally shared beliefs about emotion shape our identities as women and men. She shows how the discourse of emotion is fundamentally concerned with judgements about authenticity and legitimacy of experience, themes deeply implicated in creating and maintaining gender boundaries. This fascinating exploration of gender and emotion in a clear and engaging style takes up topics as diverse as nineteenth-century ideals of womanhood, weeping politicians, children's play and the Superbowl. It is a must read for anyone interested in the way emotion affects our everyday lives.Trade ReviewReview of the hardback: 'This is an extraordinarily well-written book. My belief is that undergraduates, graduate students, and scholars working in the area of gender, emotion, and identity will definitely feel intellectually enriched after reading this book. … excellent interdisciplinary scholarship, intelligent theoretical analyses, and lucid writing make this book an important piece of scholarly work in the field of psychology and related disciplines.' Sex RolesReview of the hardback: 'Perceiving a gaping hole in the psychological study of emotion, which has largely ignored gender issues, Shields moves beyond a purely descriptive account of gender differences and toward a theoretical explanation for how and why emotion is inextricably intertwined with conceptions of femininity and masculinity. Her approach is unabashedly feminist and social constructivist, which will please many but rile others … Shields presents a persuasive case for the dual social construction of gender and emotional expressivity. Regardless of one's theoretical perspective, this book is important and recommended for lower- and upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers interested in the study of emotion.' R. Compton, Haverford CollegeReview of the hardback: 'The book is particularly impressive in its accessible and engaging style, with its ample use of 'real life' examples … which makes for stimulating and enjoyable reading. while researchers in the area of emotion and gender, across the disciplines of psychology, gender studies and others, will find it a comprehensive and valuable text, it is arguably also an appropriate resource for post-graduate teaching.' South African Journal of PsychologyTable of ContentsPreface; 1. That 'vivid, unforgettable condition'; 2. When does gender matter?; 3. Doing emotion/doing gender: practising in order to 'get it right'; 4. Sentiment, sympathy, and passion in the late nineteenth century; 5. The education of the emotions; 6. Ideal emotion and the fallacy of the inexpressive male; 7. Emotional = female; angry = male?; 8. Speaking from the heart; References; Index.

Book SynopsisEcological/cognitive approach applied to self-narrative.Trade Review"...brings a wide range of disciplines to bear on the self-narrative and the self...relates ideas from the experimental, developmental, and clinical study of memory to insights from postmodernism and literature." --International Journal of Psychology"All the chapters are interesting; many are absorbing and provocative. It is a treat to read a book when its arguments are presented with such zest and clarity." --John A. Robinson, Contemporary Psychology"...an admirable book on the self-narrative...truly covers the relationship between memory and self.
