Book SynopsisSince the 1980s, personality psychologists from a range of perspectives have found the five-factor model to be an effective tool for identifying and structuring personality attributes. Measuring individual differences in terms of degrees of extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, and openness to experience, the model provides a common language for the field of personality psychology while, at the same time, it supports widely divergent approaches. How has the model evolved over time, and how has it been challenged? Are these five dimensions adequate to describe the entire range of personality traits? This timely and inclusive volume addresses these and other questions as it explores the five-factor model's theoretical underpinnings, initiating a fruitful dialogue among some of the leading figures in contemporary personality research. Trade ReviewThis volume is a much-needed examination of the five-factor model and its contribution to the ongoing revolution in theorizing about personality. The book demonstrates that the five-factor model is much more than an extraordinarily consistent and perhaps universal empirical picture of five basic personality dimensions. The volume presents perspectives from the new wave of theorizing that will replace the grand old theories of personality, a wave to which the five-factor model contributes. Both the novice and the journeyman in personality will profit greatly from studying this highly readable volume. --Donald W. Fiske, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, University of ChicagoOne of the most significant contributions to the resurgence of personality psychology in the last 15 years is the establishment of the five-factor model of personality traits. This collection of six ambitious and integrative essays written by leading scholars in personality psychology marks a coming of age for the five-factor model. Many articles and books demonstrate the range and the facility of 'the Big Five' as a grand scheme for organizing dispositional characteristics in personality. But this impressive volume is distinguished for the authors' efforts to generate new theoretical perspectives informed by the five-factor trait model and to link the model to lines of theorizing coming out of evolutionary psychology, sociology, anthropology, and the humanities. As such, this volume begins what promises to be a long and fruitful conversation among scholars of different stripes and varied disciplines about persons, personality, and the nature of human individuality. --Dan P. McAdams, Ph.D., Professor of Human Development and Psychology, Northwestern University - ...a highly stimulating and suggestive work. --Choice, 3/17/1996ƒƒ The Five-Factor Model of Personality is an invaluable resource in the field of personality, social, and clinical psychology.

Book SynopsisThis book provides a thorough introduction to methods for detecting and describing cyclic patterns in time-series data. It is written both for researchers and students new to the area and for those who have already collected time-series data but wish to learn new ways of understanding and presenting them. Facilitating the interpretation of observations of behavior, physiology, mood, perceptual threshold, social indicator variables, and other responses, the book focuses on practical applications and requires much less mathematical background than most comparable texts. Using real data sets and currently available software (SPSS for Windows), the author employs extensive examples to clarify key concepts. Topics covered include research design issues, preliminary data screening, identification and description of cycles, summary of results across time series, and assessment of relations between time series. Also considered are theoretical questions, problems of interpretation, and potential sources of artifact. Trade ReviewThis is an excellent book for behavioral and social scientists seeking a quick but thorough introduction to spectral analysis. Rigorous in presenting basic equations, it also features practical examples that facilitate the learning process. The author's clear exposition and use of commonly accessible software to illustrate analyses will help readers make the leap from reading this book to actually analyzing their own time-series data. --Randy J. Larsen, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of MichiganA wonderful book, filled with clear language and interesting examples. Warner helps us understand how many of the enduring features of life are repetitive ones that cannot be described in terms of means and static relationships. A common-sense guide to cyclical patterns in time-series data, the volume is both practical and intellectually stimulating. --James M.

Book SynopsisRegression toward the mean is a complex statistical principle that plays a crucial role in any research involving the measurement of change. This primer is designed to help researchers more fully understand this phenomenon and avoid common errors in interpretation. The book presents new methods of graphing regression toward the mean, facilitating comprehension with a wealth of figures and diagrams. Special attention is given to applications related to program or treatment evaluation. Numerous concrete examples illustrate the ways researchers all too often attribute effects to an intervention or other causal variable without considering regression artifacts as an alternative explanation for change. Also discussed are instances when problems are actually created, instead of solved, by correction for regression toward the mean. Throughout, the authors strive to use nontechnical language and to keep simulations and formulas as accessible as possible. Trade Review"In a world that calls attention to extremes, both good and bad, it is critical that social scientists fully understand regression effects. Campbell and Kenny have produced a book on this topic that is destined to be a classic. Ideally suited for graduate students in the social sciences and for nonexperimental researchers, the book is comprehensive and accessible. These well known methodologists tell us how regression effects have fooled experts in psychology, education, and biology, and they explain clearly how the effects can be identified using graphical and statistical tools. Producers as well as critical consumers of empirical information will want this text on their shelves." --Patrick E. Shrout, PhD, Professor of Psychology, New York University "Elegant and concise....If you are a novice in the topic, you will become an expert by reading A Primer on Regression Artifacts. If you are already an expert, you will learn things you will be surprised you did not already know. In either case, you will find that the authors meet you more than halfway; they guide your inquiry with ample encouragement, engaging illustrations, and good humor....It is hard to imagine a duo that is more capable of making comprehensible a challenging methodological topic." --From the Foreword by Charles S. Reichardt, PhD, University of Denver "A Primer on Regression Artifacts is a valuable addition to the literature. The volume not only lays bare most of the secrets of regression toward the mean; it also explores correlation in general with great enthusiasm. In a most appropriate arena, this book further extends the vast legacy of the inimitable Donald T. Campbell. I will recommend it to advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and, most certainly, to my faculty colleagues in the behavioral and social sciences." --John R. Nesselroade, PhD, Hugh Scott Hamilton Professor of Psychology, University of Virginia "This important and useful volume brings together two of our greatest methodologists to tackle one of the thorniest methodological problems in the behavioral sciences. Using interesting examples from research and everyday life, Campbell and Kenny illustrate the diverse contexts in which regression to the mean can arise, and offer suggestions for minimizing its occurrence. Graduate students will find that the book's liberal use of new graphical illustrations makes this normally difficult material wonderfully accessible; established researchers will gain a new and deeper understanding of this classic problem in the study of change." --Stephen G. West, PhD, Department of Psychology, Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona - All mental health researchers must read this book, which definitely explores a vital topic. It is a magnificent concluding collaboration between Kenny and the late Campbell, the 20th century's foremost behavioral science methodologist. --Readings, 12/13/2002Table of Contents1.Graphical Introduction 2.Mathematics and Special Cases 3.Regression Artifacts Due to Extreme Group Selection 4.Regression Artifacts Due to Matching 5.Regression Artifacts Due to Statistical Equating 6.Regression Artifacts in Change Scores 7.Regression Artifacts in Time-Series Studies 8.Regression Artifacts in Longitudinal Studies 9.Cross-Lagged Panel Correlation Analysis10.Conclusion *Glossary of Terms *Glossary of Symbols *Appendix A: Dice-Rolling Program and Data Sets Used as Illustrations *Appendix B: The Computation of Autocorrelations

Book SynopsisBringing together a distinguished array of researchers and scholars, this volume reviews the breadth of current knowledge on the psychology of forgiveness. In addition to presenting cutting-edge theory and research, the book outlines crucial issues that must be addressed to advance the state of the science in years to come. The first section provides a historical and conceptual overview, examining definitional problems and giving special attention to religious and cultural influences on how forgiveness is understood and experienced. The biological, developmental, social, and personality foundations of forgiveness are then explored. The final section covers applications in clinical research and practice, including guidelines for studying and applying forgiveness-based strategies in psychotherapy, counseling, and interventions to promote health. This volume will be of interest to a broad interdisciplinary audience of researchers, educators, students, and practicing professionals.Trade Review"After decades of neglect, forgiveness has emerged as a 'hot topic' in psychology, with exciting new developments on many fronts. Forgiveness: Theory, Research, and Practice provides a state-of-the-art compendium of what we know about forgiveness as we enter the new millennium. Scholarly and eminently readable, this book should be of broad interest to theologians and anyone else concerned with the painful consequences of non-forgiveness--estrangement, divorce, racial conflict, and international war, to name just a few." --June Price Tangney, PhD, Department of Psychology, George Mason University "This is a volume of impressive scope and scholarship. The chapters are clear and authoritative, and together they adopt a range of perspectives--historical, religious, interpersonal, spiritual, cultural, and clinical, to name but a few--that provide readers with a glimpse of how complex and fascinating the topic of forgiveness can be. McCullough, Pargament, and Thoresen have produced an immensely satisfying book that lays the foundation for a new interdisciplinary field of inquiry. Consequently, this book is an ideal point of departure for anyone seeking an introduction to contemporary research and thinking on forgiveness, and an ideal reference for those seeking a comprehensive analysis of this domain." --Thomas Bradbury, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of California, Los Angeles -Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisDrawing on narrative, postmodern, and other therapeutic perspectives, this book guides therapists in exploring the creative and healing possibilities in clients' spiritual and religious experience. Vivid personal accounts and dialogues bring to life the ways spirituality may influence the stories told in therapy, the language and metaphors used, and the meanings brought to key relationships and events. Applications are discussed for a wide variety of clinical situations, including helping people resolve relationship problems, manage psychiatric symptoms, and cope with medical illnesses.Trade ReviewOnce again, as they did with The Body Speaks, James Griffith and Melissa Elliot Griffith have opened a domain--this time, spirituality and religious experience--to their particular blend of gentle, curious, and loving inquiry. Rich clinical vignettes are used to illustrate how spirituality and religious experience can contribute to meaning-making in therapy, guiding therapists in making key distinctions and opening up their own conversations with clients. Never preachy, always engaging, this book will be of use to beginning and advanced clinicians in all of the helping professions.--Kaethe Weingarten, PhD, Harvard Medical School and The Witnessing Project, The Family Institute of CambridgeThis is an important book. Through it, therapists will witness intimate and sacred conversations that will open their hearts and work to new possibilities. The authors' therapy is exquisitely respectful, their writing fascinating and accessible, and their ideas inspiring and practical for therapists of all disciplines and approaches. This book illuminates not one path but many to take in talking meaningfully with people about the spiritual and religious dimensions of their lives.--Jill Freedman, MSW, Evanston Family Therapy CenterFreud ushered God out of the therapy room in his search for a scientific psychotherapy. However, leaving religious and spiritual discussions out of our work means that we ignore vital parts of many people's lives. This book suggests that we don't need to remain God-phobic, nor must we become clergy, in order to bring people's spiritual beliefs into therapy. Griffith and Griffith illustrate how spiritual beliefs and experiences can be resources for healing in a wide range of contexts: recovery from abuse, trying to solve relationship dilemmas, coping with chronic pain and illness, and even making the decision to take medication for emotional illness. At the same time, the authors do not shy away from the hard questions....How can a therapist work with people whose beliefs present obstacles to cure? What can we do when belief is used to justify cruelty or abuse? This book strikes a deep chord because it gives voice to something that many of us know has been missing from psychotherapy. This is a book every therapist needs to read.--Eric E. McCollum, PhD, Marriage and Family Therapy Program, Virginia Tech UniversityHaving spent 35 years caring for persons with progressive, incurable, and fatal illnesses, my double calling as physician and priest has made me see each patient's personal stories of faith as a privileged revelation. James and Melissa Elliott Griffith have now brought this inquiry to a new level of sophistication and art. Showing how people in pain become more alive as we elicit their sacred stories, this book helps the empathic reader learn how to ask the right questions at the right time. Today's doctors and therapists--harassed by the for-profit obsession that now degrades the people who seek our help--will find in this book a powerful antidote to restore the possibility of stellar care delivery.--Ned H. Cassem, SJ, MD, Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School. - While the topic of integrating psychotherapy and spirituality has been widely examined for many years, few texts have provided the detailed theoretical rationale, practical techniques, and case studies found in James and Melissa Griffith's Encountering the Sacred in Psychotherapy ....The authors have a gentle, respectful manner of inviting clients to explore spiritual matters. They view psychotherapy itself as a sacred encounter, assuming that spiritual matters will surface when the practitioner listens with an open heart....This book would be of interest not only to psychotherapists but also to a general audience interested in the intersection of religion, illness, and health....The numerous examples of questions to use in exploring various aspects of spirituality will be of practical value to psychotherapists of various orientations. The many clinical examples interspersed throughout the book are its strength. --Journal of Religion, Disability, and Health, 7/31/2003ƒƒ James L. Griffith and Melissa Elliott Griffith have written a thoughtful, balanced, and often creative work describing not only how to talk about spirituality but also, perhaps more importantly, how to think about and listen to the spiritual dimension of people's lives. --Psychiatric Services, 7/31/2003ƒƒ Remarkable....The authors write very well, and the book is filled with countless real-world case studies and even some transcripts of counseling sessions that are quite interesting in their own right, not to mention the role they play in illustrating the authors' general themes. --Research News and Opportunities in Science and Theology, 7/31/2003ƒƒ The very style of presentation of the subject matter awakens the reader's sensitivity to the spiritual elements in psychotherapy and to when and with whom it is appropriate to enter into the spiritual domain. --Pastoral Sciences, 7/31/2003Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisThe devaluation of those perceived as different has profound repercussions both for individuals and for society. This book brings together leading researchers to present groundbreaking findings on such topics as the dimensions of stigma, why people stigmatize others, how targeted individuals are affected by and respond to stigmatization, and influences on social interactions. Chapters are organized around a cohesive conceptual framework that incorporates the perspectives of both the perceiver and the target; the relevance of personal and collective identities; and the interplay of affective, cognitive, and behavioral reactions in stigmatization.Trade Review'Detailed investigations of stigma serve as a gathering point for students to explore a wide variety of mainstream social-clinical topics, including a) stereotypes; b) prejudice and discrimination; c) social salience; d) social interaction (or lack thereof); e) the self, self-perception, and self-esteem; f) stress and health; and g) ingroup outgroup issues. A fine work that should be as liberally used in the classroom as it is bound to be in the laboratory.' - Journal of Clinical and Social PsychologyThought-provoking and insightful. Merits and demands careful reading. - American Journal of PsychiatryBecause of the encyclopedic compendium of stigma research contained in this book, its clear organizational format, and some of the chapters' original theoretical contributions, it should be standard reading for anyone who conducts research on or teaches about stigma. - Contemporary SociologyProvides original and valuable insights into an issue that psychologists, psychiatrists, and social workers face in clinical practice.

Book SynopsisFamily Therapy Techniques briefly reviews the basic theories of marriage and family therapy. It then goes into treatment models designed to facilitate the tailoring of therapy to specific populations and the integration of techniques from what often seems like disparate theories. Based on the assumption that no single approach is the definitive approach for every situation, the book leads students through multiple perspectives. In teaching students to integrate and tailor techniques, this book asks them to take functional methods and approaches from a variety of theoretical approaches, without attempting to reiterate the theoretical issues and research covered in theories courses.Table of ContentsForeword; Preface; One Family Therapy in the 21st Century; Two Theories of Family Therapy; Three Integrative Treatment with Couples and Families; Four Tailoring Treatment for Couples and Families; Five Case Conceptualization as a Strategy for Tailoring; Six Tailoring Treatment: The Impact of Culture; Seven Tailoring Treatment: Families Under Stress; Eight Tailoring Treatment:Work and Family Concerns; Nine Treatment Adherence and Relapse Prevention; Index

Book SynopsisIn this provocative and engaging book, Lee Kirkpatrick establishes a broad, comprehensive framework for approaching the psychology of religion from an evolutionary perspective. Within this framework, attachment theory provides a powerful lens through which to reconceptualize diverse aspects of religious belief and behavior. Rejecting the notion that humans possess religion-specific instincts or adaptations, Kirkpatrick argues that religion instead emerges from numerous psychological mechanisms and systems that evolved for other functions. This integrative work will spark discussion, debate, and future research among anyone interested in the psychology of religion, attachment theory, and evolutionary psychology, as well as religious studies. It will also serve as a text in advanced undergraduate and graduate-level courses.From Lee Kirkpatrick, winner of the APA Division 36 William James Award for outstanding and sustained contributions to the psychology of religionTrade ReviewIn this highly engaging, wide-ranging, and gracefully written book, Kirkpatrick moves from his own innovative work on attachment processes and religious phenomena to a much broader, multidimensional analysis of religion as an outcome of evolution. The book stands out from other writings on evolution and religion, which tend to have a narrow focus (on cognition or ritual or mystical experience, for example) and to see religion as a unitary adaptation. In contrast, Kirkpatrick argues persuasively that religion is best explained by a confluence of several different evolved mechanisms, each with its own primary, nonreligious function.--Phillip R. Shaver, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of California, DavisKirkpatrick has provided a dazzling and insightful analysis of the psychology of religion. Groundbreaking and gripping from start to finish, the book takes readers on a tour of religious phenomena, from the origins of belief to the nature of religious leaders and their followers. The result is the most incisive and scientifically sound analysis of religion I have seen, using principles drawn from modern evolutionary psychology. It’s a landmark publication, and sure to form the center of lively debate for years to come.--David M. Buss, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Texas at AustinIn this brilliant work, Lee Kirkpatrick embeds the study of religion within an integrative evolutionary framework that draws extensively on attachment theory. In elaborating his comprehensive explanatory theory, Kirkpatrick boldly proposes a route for advancing the science of the psychology of religion. This book is essential reading for students and scholars of the psychology of religion and evolutionary psychology, particularly those interested in the psychological origins of religion.--Crystal L. Park, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of ConnecticutThis is a masterful example of scholarship aimed at integrating an attachment and evolutionary theoretical approach to the wide and far-reaching domain of the psychology of religion. Kirkpatrick is the world’s leading expert on attachment theory and religion, and in this book he has expanded the argument to encompass a broader perspective, one that places the psychology of religion squarely in the emerging field of evolutionary psychology and thus links it with the larger orbit of sciences. The writing is rich with research whose data argue in a compelling way that religious phenomena match the predictions of an attachment-evolutionary framework. Other approaches are acknowledged but are challenged with the question of why they work, if they do. Written with a high level of sophistication, the book is nonetheless extremely accessible. Kirkpatrick clearly loves his material. His logic is keen, his writing beautiful, his topic and message timeless.--Raymond F.

Book SynopsisPresenting state-of-the-art research from leading investigators, this volume examines the processes by which people understand their interpersonal experiences. Provided are fresh perspectives on how individuals glean social knowledge from past relationships and apply it in the here and now. Also explored are the effects of biases and expectancies about significant others on relationship satisfaction and personal well-being. Broad in scope, the book integrates findings from experimental social psychology with insights from developmental, personality, and clinical psychology. Throughout, chapters strike an appropriate balance between theory and method, offering an understanding of the core issues involved as well as the tools needed to study them.Trade ReviewThe past two decades have seen unprecedented advances in the availability of tools for studying human mental processes. No application of these methods is more compelling than their use to illuminate interpersonal cognition and its profound effects on relationships and individual well-being. This outstanding volume summarizes these extraordinary advances in our understanding of interpersonal cognition. Presenting cutting-edge research by leading scholars, it provides an indispensable resource for scholars, professionals, and students interested in linking the inner world of the individual with the outer world of social connections.--Harry Reis, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of RochesterThe way we think and the way we relate to others are among the most crucial and distinctive human traits. They have also been two of the most powerful themes in social psychology. This exciting book brings them together to show how interpersonal processes shape cognition, and vice versa. The individual chapters cover a fascinating set of cutting-edge ideas and research findings that are guaranteed to expand the reader's understanding of how people understand each other--and why they sometimes fail to do so.--Roy F. Baumeister, PhD, Department of Psychology, Florida State UniversityOur mental representations of loved ones, friends, acquaintances, and even enemies--and corresponding thoughts and feelings about ourselves--are the topic of this book. Contributions from multiple perspectives transcend arbitrary boundaries between 'cognition,' 'affect,' and 'motivation,' clarifying the dynamic processes by which thoughts about another person trigger concerns about rejection or warm feelings of security and commitment. This is truly socialcognition: the thoughts and feelings about other people and relationships that define us as social beings.--Eliot R. Smith, PhD, Department of Psychology, Indiana University, BloomingtonOne of the most important developments in social psychology in recent years has been the creative and vibrant work at the intersection of social cognition and interpersonal relationships. Thanks to Mark Baldwin, we now have in one volume definitive theoretical statements by the leading thinkers in the field. This volume is suitable as a text for graduate-level courses in relationships or social cognition, or for advanced seminars in personality and social psychology. It deserves to be on the bookshelves of anyone interested in social cognition and interpersonal relationships.--Niall Bolger, PhD, Department of Psychology, New York University - A welcomed and well-received collection of 16 original chapters from leading researchers in the hot topic of interpersonal and social cognition....Baldwin has done an excellent job of ensuring that authors refer to chapters internal to the volume and that chapter authors are more than familiar with each other's work to promote an integration that is uncommon in large collections such as this....An excellent collection on an important topic....Relevant to all of psychology's subdisciplines and could be used for courses on social cognition. --PsycCRITIQUES, 4/22/2006Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisIncreasingly used in social and behavioral science research, implicit measures aim to assess attitudes that respondents may not be willing to report directly, or of which they may not even be aware. This timely book brings together leading investigators to review currently available procedures and offer practical recommendations for their implementation and interpretation. The theoretical bases of the various approaches are explored and their respective strengths and limitations are critically examined. The volume also discusses current controversies facing the field and highlights promising avenues for future research.Trade ReviewIn recent years, no development in the social sciences has been more exciting than the discovery of implicit attitudes and the pursuit of their measurement. Yet the challenges of developing suitable measures have surprised us all. Different techniques yielded different results, which has inspired richer theory building and produced important insights into the nature of human judgment and the mental representation of preferences. We now see longstanding debates and controversies in new ways. What more could a group of scientists hope for than to make such great progress, and at such a rapid rate? This wonderful book offers a terrific review of these accomplishments and identifies the challenges with which implicit attitude researchers will be grappling in the years to come.--Jon Krosnick, PhD, Departments of Communication, Political Science, and Psychology, Stanford University This is a book for serious students and practitioners of attitudes research. It offers comprehensive coverage of the new wave of implicit measures, written by some of the top researchers in the field. The chapters provide strong theoretical grounding as well as practical information on the 'how-tos' of each measure. This book would be an ideal text for graduate-level courses on attitudes.--Jeffrey Sherman, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of California, Davis The measurement of socially significant attitudes has taken a giant leap forward due to the recent development of implicit measures, which are capable of assessing relatively automatic evaluations. This volume presents a scholarly yet very accessible treatment of these new measures, describing them in detail and evaluating their merits. Additionally, the volume shows how these measurement advances have permitted us to address new and fundamental issues about the nature of human judgment. This is a superb, integrative treatment of a major advance in the social and behavioral sciences. I will certainly use it as a text in my social psychology graduate proseminar; it is also likely to be used in advanced undergraduate courses devoted to attitudes, judgment, and assessment.--Charles M. Judd, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Colorado at Boulder The study of implicit attitudes is the most significant development in attitude theory and research in recent years. This timely volume features analyses by the major contributors to this important development. The chapter authors skillfully present both the promise and the uncertainties of the many implicit measures that have been proposed. This book is essential reading not only for attitude researchers, but also for all researchers who wish to understand whether they should incorporate implicit measures into their studies. I would definitely use the book in a graduate course in attitudes.--Alice H. Eagly, PhD, Department of Psychology, Northwestern University -Wittenbrink and Schwarz drew together a distinguished group of authors whose expertise concerns how best to examine the interrelations among attitudes, social judgments, and behaviors....Reader-researchers should consider this book a valuable resource, one that nicely characterizes current views on simple as well as complex measures of implicit attitudes.--Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology, 1/7/2007ƒƒ Wittenbrink and Schwarz have assembled an impressive group of experts on attitude measurement....I would highly recommend this book for anyone thinking about incorporating the use of implicit attitude measures into his or her research and feel that the book would make an excellent addition to any graduate-level course on attitudes or attitude measurement. --PsycCRITIQUES, 1/7/2007Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisA major development in psychological science is increased recognition that persons and environments constitute dynamically interacting systems. This book presents advances from internationally renowned researchers in personality, social, cognitive, developmental, and cultural psychology, and other fields, who construct a science of the individual by studying individuals in context. Contributors build on seminal work by Walter Mischel (especially his citation classic, Toward a Cognitive Social Learning Reconceptualization of Personality, reprinted in the volume). A commentary from Mischel himself places the contributions in historical perspective and articulates the novel portrait of human nature that they yield.Trade ReviewWalter Mischel's theoretical vision and discipline-changing research have established a new paradigm in psychological science. More so than any other volume, this book documents the scholarly creativity and methodological rigor with which Mischel’s work has enhanced understanding of the dynamic relations between individuals and their contexts. Presented are cutting-edge perspectives on personality as a fundamental focus for the description, explanation, and optimization of human behavior and development across life.--Richard M. Lerner, PhD, Bergstrom Chair in Applied Developmental Science and Director, Institute for Applied Research in Youth Development, Tufts UniversityThis volume represents the recent progress that psychological science has made in unraveling the mysteries of personality. Going beyond static, context-free generalizations about personality, the contributors aim to capture the ways in which individuals' experiences and actions vary across different social contexts. In pursuit of this goal, they use sophisticated modeling and innovative measurements of the thoughts, feelings, and desires that comprise personal experience and that underlie the way individuals manage themselves in social situations. Not so long ago, a basic science of potentially idiosyncratic individuals in the social context was a bold, even quixotic, hope for the distant future. This important volume shows that we are now making big strides toward realizing this vision.--Yaacov Trope, PhD, Department of Psychology, New York UniversityBrick by brick, we build a science of the individual. On rare occasions, a master mason steps in, appoints a Palladian window in the perfect spot, and the sun comes pouring in. Walter Mischel is that master mason, and his contributions are honored in this book. The evolving science of the individual is at the center of each and every chapter, whether it is on temperament, intelligence, self-regulation, biology, or culture. The contributors are old hands at their craft, and together they have produced jewel-like pieces that reflect off each other to make their ideas about personality come alive. Ideal for graduate-level courses, this book tells the story of the remarkable progress that has been made in developing a science of the person.--Mahzarin R.

Book SynopsisNow in a substantially revised and expanded second edition, this important work thoroughly details the full range of clinical assessment tools developed by Theodore Millon and his associates. Presented is the most current, authoritative overview of the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI), as well as comprehensive information on widely used instruments for such specific populations as adolescents, preadolescents, medical patients, and college students. With a heightened focus on clinical practice, the second edition offers explicit guidance for linking assessment to individualized, evidence-based treatment planning and intervention. Many of the chapters are entirely new, reflecting significant research advances and the development of new inventories.Trade Review"This second edition presents the current thinking of leading experts on the Millon inventories into a 'mega-handbook' for the busy practitioner. In one volume, it provides both an introduction to the inventories and a comprehensive summary of the latest research and practice. Anyone who uses the Millon inventories, from the novice to the experienced practitioner, will want to keep this book close at hand."--Jack O'Regan, PhD, ABPP, Dean, College of Psychology and Behavioral Sciences, Argosy University"More than a presentation of the Millon inventories, this book develops an overarching model of case conceptualization. The model extends from the small details of client presentation to an integrated guide on how best to develop treatment interventions. It is a welcome addition to the field that will be an informative guide for everyone from graduate students seeking to increase their depth of test-related knowledge to seasoned professionals who want to provide more integrated case conceptualizations."--Gary Groth-Marnat, PhD, ABPP, Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology, Pacifica Graduate Institute"In this era of reductionist approaches to mental illness, how refreshing it is to find a research-based and comprehensive volume still committed to the treatment of the whole person. Its rich assembly of chapters demonstrates how Millon’s wide battery of inventories can achieve a personalized evaluation that responds to the unique characteristics and concerns of each client in a variety of clinical and applied settings. This book should prove an invaluable resource to clinicians and to instructors who seek to train students in a holistic and personality-based approach to assessment and psychotherapy."--Jefferson A. Singer, PhD, Dean of the College and Faulk Foundation Professor of Psychology, Connecticut College- This substantial volume updates research findings and clinical applications of the Millon inventories....A major strength of the inventories is that resulting profiles are individualized and personalized for each patient.

Book SynopsisStraightforward and practical, this is the first book to provide detailed guidance for using neurobiological methods in the study of human social behavior, personality, and affect. Each chapter clearly introduces the method at hand, provides examples of the method's applications, discusses its strengths and limitations, and reviews concrete experimental design considerations. Written by acknowledged experts, chapters cover neuroimaging techniques, genetic measurement, hormonal methods, lesion studies, startle eyeblink responses, facial electromyography, autonomic nervous system responses, and modeling based on neural networks.Trade ReviewThis is the first book to extensively review the ways by which we can measure the brain and the body to understand the person and social behavior. From the blink of an eye to a spontaneous smile, from salivary secretions to sweaty palms, from imaging the genome to measuring connectionist networks, this book captures it all. Methods in Social Neuroscience will be reached for by both teacher and student. It will inform the informed; it will entice novices to experiment with new measures they never imagined. Destined to get dog-eared, this is the kind of book that will wander away from your bookshelf. Buy two copies!--Mahzarin R.

Book SynopsisAddressing an issue of central concern in social life, this authoritative book examines how having or lacking power influences the way individuals and groups think, feel, and act. Leading international experts comprehensively review classic and contemporary research with an eye toward bridging gaps across theories and levels of analysis. Compelling topics include the evolutionary bases of power; its effects on physiological processes, cognitive abilities, and health; what sorts of people are given power; when, how, and whom power corrupts; and power dynamics in gender, social class, and ethnic relations. The integrative concluding chapter presents a cogent agenda for future research.Trade ReviewQuite possibly the single most indispensable work on the dynamics of power. Approaching the problem of power from the vantage points of diverse theories, the contributors illuminate the workings of power--how it is understood in the minds of those with and without power, how it guides the actions of individuals and groups, and how it is woven into the fabric of society. A 'must read' for students and scholars alike, this book makes clear why, as Bertrand Russell observed many years ago, power is the fundamental concept of social science.--Mark Snyder, PhD, McKnight Presidential Chair in Psychology and Director, Center for the Study of the Individual and Society, University of MinnesotaGuinote and Vescio have assembled a distinguished collection of scholars to offer a current and comprehensive analysis. The volume sheds new light on a traditionally central topic in psychology. The quality of the chapters is excellent, and collectively the volume provides new theoretical perspectives and insights. This well-structured volume will make a significant and lasting contribution.--John F. Dovidio, PhD, Department of Psychology, Yale UniversityThis volume takes theory and research on power a huge step forward. Coverage ranges from basic mechanisms and conceptual issues to consequences of power. It spans multiple levels of analysis, looking at how power is implicated in social perception, social interaction, and intergroup relations. This book synthesizes research in the field to date and will define the study of power in social psychology for years to come.--Miles Hewstone, PhD, Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Oxford, United Kingdom - An excellent reference source for those seeking a comprehensive survey of the latest literature on the topic.

Book SynopsisVirtually every question in social psychology is currently being shaped by the concepts and methods of implicit social cognition. This tightly edited volume provides the first comprehensive overview of the field. Foremost authorities synthesize the latest findings on how automatic, implicit, and unconscious cognitive processes influence social judgments and behavior. Cutting-edge theories and data are presented in such crucial areas as attitudes, prejudice and stereotyping, self-esteem, self-concepts, close relationships, and morality. Describing state-of-the-art measurement procedures and research designs, the book discusses promising applications in clinical, forensic, and other real-world contexts. Each chapter both sums up what is known and identifies key directions for future research.Trade ReviewResearch into implicit social cognition keeps growing at a rapid rate. This authoritative handbook takes stock of where we are and offers perspectives on where we might go. In 29 chapters, a stellar group of contributors identify the conceptual foundations of implicit social cognition, provide practical advice on the use of implicit measures, and review what has been learned from them in a broad range of areas, from attitude and personality research to health psychology, politics, and consumer behavior. This handbook will be an invaluable resource for years to come and required reading in many graduate courses.--Norbert Schwarz, PhD, Charles Horton Cooley Collegiate Professor of Psychology, University of Michigan For many years, psychologists and laypersons have been fascinated by the idea that people are unaware of many mental processes that drive their social behavior. This volume presents a comprehensive review of cutting-edge research on what these mental processes are, whether they can be accurately measured, and how they affect human relations. Cumulatively, the chapters in this book shed new light on the old question of whether people know more about themselves than they can or want to tell.--Yaacov Trope, PhD, Department of Psychology, New York University - Successfully provides a selective yet comprehensive overview of seminal findings, theoretical developments, emerging themes, current and new directions, applications, and unresolved issues of social cognition research. The authors not only provide lucid, scholarly, detailed discussions, but also reveal and revel in enhanced communication among subdisciplines within and outside psychology....The Handbook of Implicit Social Cognition deserves a careful reading and rereading and a special place on the bookshelf of anyone serious about empirically exploring this topic. It would be a useful resource in an advanced undergraduate or graduate social cognition research course. --PsycCRITIQUES, 5/21/2010ƒƒ A primary strength of this volume is the way in which seemingly different areas of research have been organized into five distinct sections, each of which builds upon the previous sections to provide a comprehensive understanding of implicit social cognition: (1) the basic information needed to understand implicit social cognition research, (2) detailed descriptions of relevant methods and procedures, (3) cross-cutting perspectives, (4) domain-specific perspectives, and (5) practical applications....That such a comprehensive and cross-cutting review can be generated from such contemporary research is an indicator of the breadth and depth of implicit social cognition research. It is a valuable strength of this book that many chapters provide a strong focus on empirical methods as well as exciting avenues for future research. Even the novice researcher may benefit from the practical guides to implicit theory and measurement. This book would be especially interesting and useful for active researchers across a variety of domains who are interested in understanding how implicit processes can influence human behavior. --Canadian Psychology, 8/3/2011Table of Contents1.

Compared to many other books in the field, it avoids poorly defined constructs, uses clear definitions, and is grounded in empirical psychological research, which makes it an unrivaled contribution. In a heterogeneous and complicated field, the editors have produced a state-of-the-art work. It is a 'must' for all students, trainees, and professionals who want to deepen their knowledge about psychological aspects of medical illnesses and their treatment.--Winfried Rief, PhD, Department of Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy, University of Marburg, GermanyThese distinguished editors and contributors provide an engaging, comprehensive presentation of the current state of the science; a tutorial in how to think about the overarching issues in this dynamic field; and a guide to applying the research to meet challenges in health care. Advanced students and a wide range of health researchers and professionals will appreciate this cutting-edge review. This forward-looking view of how health psychology fits into the broader agenda of health research, services, and policy will serve the field well for many years.--Timothy W. Smith, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of UtahSuls, Davidson, and Kaplan are leaders in the fields of health psychology and behavioral medicine. Their new handbook features 36 chapters by outstanding contributors who cover every facet of these interrelated disciplines. Each chapter is up to date and highly readable. This is a 'must-have' reference for graduate students and researchers in health psychology, behavioral medicine, and related disciplines, such as medical sociology and nursing science. It would make a terrific text for a one- or two-semester course.--Kenneth A. Wallston, PhD, School of Nursing, Vanderbilt UniversityI teach health psychology at the doctoral level and have been frustrated with the lack of available texts that reach the level of scholarly presentation I demand for my students. Until now, I 'made do' by assigning many, many articles to read--but this still failed to meet the need for an in-depth overview. This book has made my life much easier and my students' education more thorough. Well done!--Suni Petersen, PhD, Associate Professor of Clinical Psychology, California School of Professional Psychology- Presents a clear picture of a transformed, panoramic version of clinical health psychology. Clinical health psychology, as described in this book, is a vision of an important discipline, affecting discovery from the lab bench, to the bedside, to the community.

Book SynopsisThis is the first major volume dedicated to the processes by which people exaggerate their virtues, deemphasize their shortcomings, or protect themselves against threatening feedback. Leading investigators present cutting-edge work on the key role of self-enhancing and self-protective motives in social perception, cognition, judgment, and behavior. Compelling topics include the psychological benefits and risks of self-enhancement and self-protection; personality traits and contextual factors that make certain individuals more likely to hold distorted views of the self; innovative approaches to assessment and measurement; and implications for relationships, achievement, and mental health.Trade ReviewA remarkably comprehensive review and analysis of a vibrant area. The volume is stunning in its breadth and depth, integrating the rich tradition of theory and research on self-enhancement and self-protection with cutting-edge developments in social neuroscience, social cognition, and interpersonal relations. Equally impressive, the Handbook bridges basic research and real-world applications, addressing clinical, health, and social policy implications. Written in an engaging and accessible style, this is an invaluable resource for students and specialists alike.--June Price Tangney, PhD, University Professor of Psychology, George Mason UniversityThis unique volume teases apart two psychological motives that are often confused. Contrasting these motives in one well-integrated book makes it abundantly clear that two distinct mechanisms are involved. The editors have solicited an all-star roster of contributors who complement each other interestingly. A broad range of perspectives are represented, from neurological substrates to cultural differences.--Del Paulhus, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of British Columbia, CanadaHow do people go about enhancing their favorable views of themselves? How do they protect themselves against losing face and losing self-esteem? This excellent book provides a rich and thought-provoking survey of research on these questions. The drive to make a good name for oneself and protect it from disparagement underlies a wide range of human strivings, from high achievements to the deepest excesses of interpersonal evil. This book has much to offer anyone interested in human nature.--Roy F. Baumeister, PhD, Francis Eppes Professor of Psychology, Florida State University- An edited, scholarly book focusing on strategies people use to improve or maintain their self-image....Instructors teaching different psychology courses can find interesting topics for class discussions....The editors and authors do an excellent job providing readers with evidence for self-enhancement and self-protection processes.

Book SynopsisWhy do some marriages grow stronger in the face of conflict or stress while others dissolve? In this book, two pioneering researchers present a groundbreaking theory of how mutually responsive behaviors emerge—or fail to emerge—in relationships. Illustrating their findings through the vivid stories of four diverse couples, the authors explore how conscious considerations interact with unconscious impulses to foster trust and commitment. Compelling topics include why marriages have such different personalities and what makes partners truly compatible. Also discussed are implications of the model for helping couples sustain satisfying relationships and improve troubled ones.Trade Review"This book is terrific. The authors--established masters of interdependence theory--express that theory well, then leap forward to articulate a truly new theory of interdependent minds. They draw on important work on cognition, consciousness, levels of processing, and trust to give us new perspectives on responsiveness in close relationships. This book is serious science, clearly written. It is a perfect book to assign in a seminar on relationships or to put on a required reading list for social psychology graduate students. We need this sort of book to convey the nature of the very best work going on in our field."--Margaret S. Clark, PhD, Department of Psychology, Yale University"Here is the eagerly awaited book on close relationships by two brilliant, trailblazing scholars. It is full of evocative, thought-provoking stories about the struggles and clashes of real couples, as well as profound new insights into why relationships succeed and fail. This book is the culmination of decades of systematic, disciplined research. If you want to know what modern psychological science has to teach about the complexities of intimate relationships, read this book first."--Roy F. Baumeister, PhD, Department of Psychology (Emeritus), Florida State University and University of Queensland, Australia "Personal relationships are the most important part of our lives, and involve the most basic human motivations and emotions. Murray and Holmes provide a detailed presentation of the best current research on how relationship processes operate, often outside of our conscious awareness, so that we can be unaware at any given moment of exactly why we feel or act the ways we do. This book provides readers with a careful, objective, scientific road map to their interpersonal hearts and minds."--John A. Bargh, PhD, James Rowland Angell Professor of Psychology, Yale University"This is not just a book for researchers. In the current climate of seemingly impermeable boundaries between scientific research and clinical practice, the authors plainly aim to keep the real-world implications of their model and research on the front burner. Clinicians will find countless ideas that clarify problematic behaviors once considered inscrutable or dismissed as pathologies and numerous insights and suggestions for helping clients understand and improve their relationships."--from the Foreword by Harry T. Reis, PhD, Department of Clinical and Social Sciences in Psychology, University of Rochester"Grounding their conclusions in the best and latest scientific theory and research, Murray and Holmes take the reader on a very interesting journey through the ups and downs of close relationships. They do a wonderful job of unpacking and explaining how and why events that occur in relationships influence the ways partners think, feel, and behave. It is refreshing to see such a readable, practical work grounded so squarely in solid scientific principles and data. Would make a great supplemental text for courses on intimate relationships."--Jeffry A. Simpson, PhD, Distinguished University Teaching Professor and Chair, Department of Psychology, University of Minnesota "Reading this book is so enjoyable that you don’t realize until the end that Murray and Holmes have quietly revolutionized relationship science. Experts and novices alike will delight in the flow of the narrative and the depth of the insight. The authors’ expansive theory, which integrates a vast literature and offers countless new ideas, is an inspiration; it will serve as the framework that launched a thousand studies."--Eli J. Finkel, PhD, Department of Psychology and Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University- This book is the result of the authors' numerous psychological studies into the nature of long term relationships....The model which the authors have set up is surprisingly flexible and can cope with different individual personalities as well as different relationship personalities....Anyone interested professionally in the study of love or related emotions will find the book stimulating. --Metapsychology Online Reviews, 1/27/2011ƒƒ“Regardless of the type of close relationship in which they are interested, readers from nearly any discipline should find plenty in Interdependent Minds to stimulate their thinking and efforts at theory-testing and research design. The conceptual model they articulate here is so rich and its applications and extensions so varied that it cannot help but inspire other scholarsperhaps even generations of scholarsto join Murray and Holmes in their efforts to further investigate the processes and mechanisms proposed…. A definite ‘must read’ for researchers, theorists, and practitioners who want to understand what makes some close relationships successful and others unsuccessful. In addition, it would serve as an excellent text for use in a graduate-level close relationships course. It might also prove useful as a text in an upper-year undergraduate interpersonal relationships course.”--Journal of Social Psychology, 5/21/2014ƒƒ An excellent selection for a graduate course that focuses on close relationships. A definite strength of Interdependent Minds is its comprehensiveness. The proposed model of interdependence represents a holistic approach to understanding mutual responsiveness in relationships. Additionally, an array of prominent constructs in contemporary relationships such as trust, attachment, and passionate love, are addressed in relation to the model....The layout of the chapters and topics is well organized and easy to follow....This text also is a very inviting and entertaining read. The use of fictional couples to illustrate the material helps to draw the reader in....This book contains valuable insight for anyone interested in the study of close relationships. --PsycCRITIQUES, 1/27/2011Table of ContentsForeword, Harry T.

Book SynopsisThis compelling work brings together leading social psychologists and evaluators to explore the intersection of these two fields and how their theory, practices, and research findings can enhance each other. An ideal professional reference or student text, the book examines how social psychological knowledge can serve as the basis for theory-driven evaluation; facilitate more effective partnerships with stakeholders and policymakers; and help evaluators ask more effective questions about behavior. Also identified are ways in which real-world evaluation findings can identify gaps in social psychological theory and test and improve the validity of social psychological findings--for example, in the areas of cooperation, competition, and intergroup relations. The volume includes a useful glossary of both fields' terms and offers practical suggestions for fostering cross-fertilization in research, graduate training, and employment opportunities. Each chapter features introductory and concluding comments from the editors.Trade ReviewA defining primer on the interaction of evaluation and social psychology. The book provides an overall assessment of the promise and problems, including many examples of hits and misses, and advances several ideas for better integration. Lots of enlightening commentary from the editors is a big plus.--Ernest House, EdD, Professor Emeritus, University of Colorado at BoulderThe study of social processes, the design of social interventions, and the assessment of effectiveness of programs and policies are important endeavors. However, scholars in these areas have become increasingly isolated. Social Psychology and Evaluation brings together leading scholars to identify issues of shared interest and to reintegrate these areas empirically and conceptually. Bridging theory and practice, intervention and evaluation, and social psychology and social policy, the book is well written and accessible to a broad audience. At a time of increasing specialization, each chapter reminds us that theory, application, and evaluation are complementary and that understanding how these areas relate produces better science and greater benefit to society. This volume is timely, informative, and important; it sets a valuable agenda for the field for many years to come.--John F. Dovidio, PhD, Department of Psychology, Yale UniversityThis is an excellent book for introducing social and other psychologists to program evaluation, and for helping evaluators to anchor their practice in theories, concepts, and methods developed by social psychologists. These theories, concepts, and methods can shed light on the social and interpersonal phenomena and dynamics of settings in which evaluations are embedded, and can help ensure that data gathered in social settings are reliable and valid. The book creates a strong case for the importance of theory-driven program evaluation. It demonstrates a range of ways that social psychology can conceptually and practically guide program evaluations, make programs more effective, and, most important, make apparent the reasons why particular programs work. This book would be valuable as part of an applied social psychology course or a course preparing researchers to do program evaluation.--Geoffrey Maruyama, PhD, Department of Educational Psychology, University of Minnesota- The book has contributions by two giants in the field of social psychology, Albert Bandura and Icek Ajzen. Each author demonstrates how specific social psychology theories can be applied to the design and evaluation of programs....This book should be required reading for students in program evaluation graduate programs. There is much in the book that explains social psychology, and a great deal that shows how social psychology can be useful in evaluation. Most practicing evaluators should read the book. --Journal of MultiDisciplinary Evaluation, 5/6/2011ƒƒThrough the discussion of a wide range of theories, methods, and perspectives around the relationship between social psychology and evaluation, the authors successfully convey how this relationship can be enhanced for the mutual benefit of both fields. Moreover, the contributors comprise several prominent researchers from the field of psychology and, as a result, the chapters convey considerable credibility. The chapter sections, including the editors' sections, are relatable and enjoyable to read. They are often written with subtle humor, illustrative examples, and informative figures. The book seems appropriate for use in academic settings or by social psychology minded practitioners, as those who have expertise in both of these areas may find this text informative and useful. Indeed, the book's organization lends itself well to use as a learning tool....This book was both educational as well as instructive as it addresses the historical, theoretical, and practical facets of our field. Therefore, we highly recommend it to researchers and practitioners with experience in social psychology and evaluation.--British Journal of Psychology, 10/16/2013Table of ContentsNote: Each chapter is preceded by Introductory Comments and followed by Concluding Comments from the Editors.I.

Book SynopsisBringing together leading authorities, this unique handbook reviews the breadth of current approaches for studying how people think, feel, and behave in everyday environments, rather than in the laboratory. The volume thoroughly describes experience sampling methods, diary methods, physiological measures, and other self-report and non-self-report tools that allow for repeated, real-time measurement in natural settings. Practical guidance is provided to help the reader design a high-quality study, select and implement appropriate methods, and analyze the resulting data using cutting-edge statistical techniques. Applications across a wide range of psychological subfields and research areas are discussed in detail.Trade Review"If you want to study life as it is lived--and do it by the numbers--then this volume is for you. This invaluable reference presents the latest theories, methods, and topics, and will provide inspiration and guidance for students and seasoned researchers alike. Mehl and Conner have assembled a team of experts at the forefront of the field who demonstrate that naturalistic sampling methods have developed into powerful tools for studying all facets of the human condition. The chapters have that rare combination of conceptual sophistication and methodological precision, making this book indispensable for anyone who wants to investigate how people feel, think, and behave in the moment-to-moment rhythms of their lives."--Lisa Feldman Barrett, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Psychology, Northeastern University "This volume--more than any other book published in the last two decades--will change the field of psychology. Psychological scientists have long recognized that ultimately, if their research is to have any meaning, they must venture out of the lab to study psychological processes unfolding in the 'real world.' But until now there has not been a comprehensive resource to show them how. As the first complete, authoritative, and practical guide to studying daily life, this handbook is set to change the way research is done. Every behavioral scientist should own a copy."--Sam Gosling, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Texas at Austin "This is an excellent and timely work of extraordinary breadth. It is both a primer for those new to daily experience research and a valuable reference for experienced researchers. Coverage ranges from conceptual foundations to applications and statistical methods, with discussions of self-report and objective measures; hardware and software; and research design, execution, and analysis. Rich with practical tips, this is truly a handbook that researchers will want to have close at hand as they navigate this exciting area. The book would serve superbly as a text for a graduate seminar."--Saul Shiffman, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Pittsburgh "Over the last decades, as researchers focused on increasingly sophisticated but narrow methods and theories, many forgot that human beings live impressively complex lives outside the laboratory. In the real world, emotions, thinking patterns, biological activity, and social relationships are constantly interacting and changing in ways that are poorly understood. Some new sheriffs are in town. This remarkable handbook brings together some of the most innovative research in all of psychology, pointing to new ways of measuring natural behavior across a wide array of contexts. Expertly written and broad in scope, this book heralds a new generation of real-world research that will touch all of us in the years to come."--James W.

Book SynopsisThe Road Untravelled began life as Sherin Aminossehe’s personal response to the geographical constraints of the COVID-19 lockdown – a drawing a day, providing relief from the daily routine of work and home-schooling. However, on a friend’s advice it became a much broader enterprise, as Sherin began to fulfil commissions in return for a charitable donation to SSAFA for people unable to travel, her art offering them an imaginative escape to the locations they longed for.This exquisite collection ranges from the United States to Nepal via London, Italy, Iran and many destinations besides. Alongside the drawings feature the personal responses of some of the people who commissioned them. Together they provide a moving record of the importance of place in our most precious memories and a testament to the consoling power of art in the most challenging times. Proceeds from the sales of The Road Untravelled will be paid in support of SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity. SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, has been providing lifelong support to the UK’s Armed Forces and their families since 1885. Last year their teams of volunteers and employees helped more than 79,000 people in need, from Second World War veterans to those who have served in more recent conflicts or are still currently serving, and their families.Table of ContentsForeword Introduction The Road Untravelled Everyday Places Congregating Places Memories of Place Views and Glimpses Connecting Places Acknowledgements

Book SynopsisDemocratic therapeutic communities have been set up all over the world, but until now there has not been a manual that sets out the underlying theories, and describes successful practice. Based on their own substantial experience and expertise, the authors of this new textbook explain how to set up and run modern therapeutic communities as effective evidence-based interventions for personality disorder and other common mental health conditions.Including detailed templates and practical information alongside a wider historical context, this encyclopaedic handbook will enable clinicians to develop and implement a democratic therapeutic community model with confidence. Highlighting the importance of belonging to a wider community, this book also shows how to ensure the needs of patients are considered and met, and that patients themselves can see in detail what this approach entails. This is an invaluable resource for clinicians and service commissioners working in the field of recovery from personality disorder, as well as those working in mental health and healthcare. This book also provides a useful model for professionals working in prisons and the justice system, long-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and education, and students of group analytic, psychotherapy, and counselling courses.Trade ReviewThis superb and important book, written by two of the most knowledgeable and experienced proponents of Therapeutic Communities, tracks their history, theory and detailed workings from assessment to treatment. It is a book that teaches us emancipating approaches which holds the key to a more humanised psychiatry. -- Dr Heather Castillo, Independent Consultant and author of Personality Disorder: Temperament or Trauma and The Reality of Recovery in Personality DisorderThe NHS is looking for a new interpersonal model of health care provision that will heal patients and retain staff. The values of the Therapeutic Community (empowerment, creativity, search for meaning and democracy) are core parts of what is currently missing. This book is a 'must read' and 'must act' for any thoughtful purchaser, patient or provider - before it is too late. -- John Cox, Past President, Royal College of Psychiatrists, Professor Emeritus, Keele University, UKThis book is a wonderful blend of academic prose and radical thinking. It is about the person as well as the 'illness', and engaging with someone who is struggling with themselves, whatever the chemistry of their brain. This is how-to advice on a level playing field of 'democracy', where the person will always have to take a personal responsibility for how they handle their relationships. Psychiatry has to be about lessons for living and not just a top-down medicalisation that removes the skills of decision-making and agency. Read it and learn not just about humans in distress but reflect on our profession in disorder. -- Bob Hinshelwood, Emeritus Professor of Psychoanalysis, University of EssexTable of ContentsAcknowledgements.

Book SynopsisThis book examines how standards and expectancies affect judgments of others and the self. Standards are points of comparison, expectancies are beliefs about the future, and both serve as frames of reference against which current events and people (including the self) are experienced. The central theme of the book is that judgments can be characterized as either assimilative or contrastive in nature. Assimilation occurs when the target of evaluation (another person, the self) is pulled toward or judged consistently with the standard or expectation, and contrast occurs when the target is differentiated from (judged in a direction opposite) the comparative frame. The book considers factors that determine whether assimilation versus contrast occurs, and focuses on the roles of contextual cues, the self, and stereotypes as standards for judging others, and the roles of internalized guides, stereotypes, and other people for judging the self.Table of Contents1. Standards and Expectancies: An Introduction and Overview. 2. Judging Others and the Self: Contextual factors affecting assimilation and contrast. 3. Models of Assimilation and Contrast. 4. Self and Other Exemplars as Standards for Judging Others. 5. Stereotypes and Stereotyping of Others. 6. Beyond Assimilation: Toward a Broader View of Stereotyping Effects. 7. Internalized guides as standards for judging the self. 8. Stereotypes as Standards for Judging the Self: Self-stereotyping. 9. Other People as Standards: Social Comparison. 10.

Book SynopsisSocial groups form an important part of our daily lives. Within these groups pressures exist which encourage the individual to comply with the group’s viewpoint. This influence, which creates social conformity, is known as ‘majority influence’ and is the dominant process of social control. However, there also exists a ‘minority influence’, which emerges from a small subsection of the group and is a dynamic force for social change. Minority Influence and Innovation seeks to identify the conditions under which minority influence can prevail, to change established norms, stimulate original thinking and help us to see the world in new ways.With chapters written by a range of expert contributors, areas of discussion include: processes and theoretical issues the factors which affect majority and minority influence interactions between majority and minority group members This book offers a thorough evaluation of the most important current developments within this field and presents consideration of the issues that will be at the forefront of future research. As such it will be of interest to theorists and practitioners working in social psychology.Trade Review"This book is a gem. The chapters are of an extremely high quality, and Martin and Hewstone have done a wonderful job of ensuring that this is not just a collection of high-quality papers on current advances, but a coherent, integrated, and highly compelling treatise on the state of the art. It was a joy to read, a fascinating story and an engaging, balanced account of both classic and contemporary work. I would recommend it both to students seeking a inclusive introduction to the fascinating study of minority influence, and to seasoned scholars wanting an in-depth and critical coverage of current issues." - Richard Crisp, Centre for the Study of Group Processes, University of Kent, UK, in The Psychologist"Minorities have influence as well as majorities, and the story of how they relate to each other is a complex and fascinating one, told with breadth and precision by the fine array of researchers contributing to this volume. If this eloquent book is widely read, as it deserves to be, it will contribute to a social psychology that is more balanced, sophisticated and just: We will see people not only as conformists but as creators and innovators." – Bert H. Hodges, Gordon College, Massachusetts "This is a wonderful book joining the recent chorus on the power and value of dissent. In contrast to the portrait of minorities as vulnerable or obstructive, this book collectively recognizes their persuasive power. With contributions from international scholars, the book effectively shows the range and complexity of methods used by minorities to exercise their influence, and provides both an historical account as well as a range of theories. It is a welcome addition to the field and should inspire both research and its application. Bravo." - Charlan Jeanne Nemeth, University of California, Berkeley "To prosper, groups, organizations and societies all need social change, creativity, and innovation. Herein lies the primary function of minority influence, as aptly shown by Robin Martin and Miles Hewstone and their outstanding group of authors. With classic and contemporary perspectives being presented alongside, this scholarly volume is a must read for anyone interested in social influence in groups and societies at large." - Carsten K.W.

Book SynopsisWhat is intelligence? How can we examine individual differences in intelligence? What does it mean to be very intelligent or dumb? Such questions have always pervaded human thinking, and have been raised during the development of scientific psychology. However, for many years, the practical needs of having reliable measures of intelligence have prevailed and the field has suffered the limitations of the psychometric approach. Recently, cognitive neuroscience, and in particular cognitive psychology, have proposed new models and data which have revived thinking in this area. This Special Issue offers examples of how the field of cognitive psychology can contribute not only to the refinement of theoretical thinking but also to the development of new tools for the study of human intelligence. The contributors to the issue are prominent researchers in working memory, speed of processing, executive functions, language, and intellectual development/decline and show how their lines of research may contribute key concepts and methods to the field. Different ideas and lines of research within cognitive psychology are presented, but, working memory, despite some contra-indications discussed throughout the issue, emerges from many chapters as the most important contender for the study of central aspects of intelligence.Table of ContentsC.

Visit www.psypress.com/ersp for the journal’s full Aims and Scope.This volume contains reviews of research programs by leading researchers on central topics of social psychology such as attitudes, social projection, social power, coalition formation, inter-group conflict and strategies to reduce prejudice. To give only a few examples, chapters on attitude range from a social identity approach to attitude research (Smith & Hogg) to a review of findings on the relationship between implicit and explicit measures of attitudes and stereotypes based on data from more than 2 million respondents (Nosek and colleagues). Chapters on intergroup conflict range from a review of research on the interindividual-intergroup discontinuity effect (Wildschut & Insko) to presentations of research programs based on two new theoretical approaches, the revised common ingroup identity model (Dovidio and colleagues) and the ingroup projection model (Wenzel, Mummendey and colleagues). Research on the reduction of prejudice through direct and extended cross-group friendship is discussed by Turner, Hewstone and colleagues.Table of ContentsJ.

Book SynopsisIt is widely recognized that visual processes modulate many social interactions. For example, the eye-gaze of another person is a powerful cue to guide attention to a particular part of the visual field. Conversely, a direct gaze may indicate potential threat or the opportunity for a sexual encounter. In addition, the social or affective significance of a stimulus, as well as the mood state of the observer, can have profound effects on basic attentional and perceptual processes. This special issue is aimed at elucidating the role of visual processes in social interactions by linking work on the basic cognitive mechanisms mediating vision with work on the social and emotional context in which the processing takes place.Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisIn this text, Earl Hopper has made a major contribution to the understanding of the depth and breadth of individuals and how we might help them to know more of their patterns of relatedness with others, inter-personally, socially and culturally. Of particular note is the open honest manner of his consideration of his counter-transference and these can be clearly observed in the abundance of pertinent vignettes. This book draws attention to theory and practice in relation to a side of therapeutic work insufficiently attended to and will reward readers at all stages of professional development. It is written in a clear, accessible style and manages to convey complex ideas in a readily comprehensible manner'.- Psychotherapy and politics international 'The Social Unconscious represents a line of thinking whose time has come. From bullying and youth violence in schools, to bombings in our cities, to anti-semitic or anti-Muslim activities and other race or religious hatred, to anxieties, well founded or otherwise, about immigration - wherever we live, all of us are touched and shaped by these events... This book draws attention to theory and practice in relation to a side of therapeutic work insufficiently attended to and will reward readers at all stages of professional development. It is written in a clear, accessible style and manages to convey complex ideas in a readily comprehensible manner.' - Psychotherapy & Politics International 'Dr Hopper argues for the awareness of, and training in, the processes of what he terms the Social Unconscious, for all mental health professionals. Hopper provides insight into the multiple forces that affect us and how we may reorganize our constraints. Does Hopper simply find what he is looking for, or does he discover something new? I recommend readers take this book of essays seriously and make their own decision.' - Psychologist - Psychoanalyst 'A very timely selection of papers by Earl Hopper on a very timely subject... People need to recognize that we are not merely passive sufferers of our world, rather we constitute it and have the power to shape it to a great extent. Much of what goes on in that world is unconscious in spite of the fact that we make it, therefore the importance of the social unconscious has been in the centre of Earl's interest for a number of years, and he has become one of the best known exponents of it.' - Reflections 'This most timely book - with its ready application across disciplines in a world fragmented by group-induced conflicts and traumas - will, no doubt, stimulate many thoughts, feelings and new possibilities for integration.' - Mark Ettin, Group Psychotherapist and Group Relations Consultant, USA 'The Social Unconscious offers a carefully composed selection of the author's group analytic contributions... the complexities of sociology, group analysis and psychoanalysis are put in mutually enriching perspectives.' - Dieter Nitzgen, Psychoanalyst and Group Analyst, Germany 'This record will be a lasting contribution to the literature. He movingly records with startling honesty the details of his family background and current history with poetic grace, thus applying what he has learned of the social unconscious to his own practice.' - W. Gordon Lawrence, Group Relations and Organizational Consultant, UK 'Earl Hopper's writing contributes a penetrating and unique view of pathology rooted in society as well as in the individual psyche.' - Dennis Brown, Psychoanalyst and Group Analyst, UK The social unconscious and its manifestations in group analysis are the focus of this important new book of Earl Hopper's selected papers. Drawing on sociology, psychoanalysis and group analysis, he argues that groups and their participants are constrained unconsciously by social, cultural and political facts and forces. These hypotheses are illustrated with clinical vignettes concerning anti-Semitism, racism, the politics of class and gender, and the effects of rapid social change. Transference and countertransference processes are examined both vividly and honestly. Theoretically generative and clinically astute, this book will be of value to both analysts and their studTable of ContentsForeword, Malcolm Pines. Acknowledgements. Preface. 1.

Book SynopsisTackling the difficult issues facing those who work with traumatized and sometimes dangerous young people and their families, this new volume shows how professionals can bring about positive change and growth through the creation of "holding" and healing therapeutic environments. This collection of papers written by established and respected experts with extensive practice and research experience builds a powerful picture of the theory and practice of therapeutic community work with young people. A wide variety of therapeutic community approaches is considered alongside an analysis of the implications of this model for mainstream residential practice. Social work, health care and education professionals will find the text invaluable for its presentation of a well-founded analysis of their work with these most damaged and desperate children and young people.Trade ReviewAn impressive, comprehensive collection that is badly needed to fill a gap in the current literature. The volume addresses a very highly specialized treatment-modality practiced in the United Kingdom in therapeutic communities. Yet most of what is described is familiar and useable for those of us who practice in the United States and, I would imagine, elsewhere in the western world. There are many case-specific examples to illustrate or elaborate what the authors intend to convey. I found these clear case illustrations very helpful. I would like to suggest that Therapeutic Communities for Children and Young People be placed on reading lists of professional training programs in psychiatry, psychology, social work, special education, psychiatric nursing, and child-care. Furthermore, the contents of this volume should be integrated into agency in-house training programs, which deal with this severely troubled group of young people. -- Residential Treatment for Children and YouthThe book is of direct relevance to any practitioner and manager who wishes to develop a provision for children and young people which aims to provide a healing experience and bring about real recovery. -- Young Minds MagazineThis is a gem of a book for anyone seeking an insight into the dynamics, dilemmas, difficulties and ultimately joys of working with young people in the therapeutic communities. This is an excellent book, well worth its weight for anyone involved in work with young people in child and family psychiatry, residential care, and in particular those at work in therapeutic communities. -- Jeremy Woodcock,University of BristolThroughout the book there is a welcome emphasis on how essential psychodynamic theory is to the provision of therapeutic experiences for traumatised children and young people. It informs an understanding of how the child's early experiences and relationships have impacted upon their development. How staff teams can process and reflect upon their work within the group and keep organisational dynamics alive in any institution…The book is of direct relevance to any practitioner and manager who wishes to develop a provision for children and young people which aims to provide a healing experience and bring about real recovery. -- Young Minds MagazineThere is much that is new and fascinating in this book. -- Child and Family Social WorkSocial workers working with young people should find this a stimulating and informative read, as should service managers and those who commission services for desperate and damaged children. -- Care & HealthThis publication combines an in-depth explanation of the role and uses of therapeutic communities for traumatized and sometimes dangerous young people, with organisational and practice guidance. -- Health & CareTable of ContentsAcknowledgements 1.

Book SynopsisIntegrating cutting-edge relational theory with technique, this volume reveals the deeply personal nature of the intersubjective process of group therapy as it affects the group therapist and other group members. By locating the group therapist's experience in the centre of the action, Richard M. Billow moves away from traditional approaches in group psychotherapy. Instead, he places emphasis on the effect of the therapist's own evolving psychology on what occurs and what does not occur in group psychotherapy.Building on Bion's early theory of group and his later formulations regarding the structure of thought and the role of affect, this work expands on the present understanding of relational theory and technique. Through the use of clinical anecdotes the author is able to ground theory in the realities of clinical experience making this essential reading for group psychoanalysts and psychotherapists, psychiatrists and other mental health professionals, academics and students of psychoanalytic theory.Trade ReviewRelational' group psychotherapy is a development of group therapy where the relational component begins to assume a dominant role, for example, where the group leader cannot be understood as separate from his group. Billow shows how he has been able to use these notions in clinical work, in supervision and in teaching, with many vignettes in each chapter. He also makes use of Foulkesian group analytic ideas and makes links between Foulkes and Bion'. -- Journal of Analytical PsychologyThis book was a true delight... [Billow] has brought Bion's early work on the group experience, Bion's complex theoretical writing on the basic assumptions (i.e., three types of primitive object relations, fantasies and affects which individuals project and act out in social settings), and Bion's writing on the countertranference experience, together. -- The Suffolk Institute for Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis, Long IslandTable of ContentsAcknowledgments.

Book SynopsisThe concept of time is a crucial filter through which we understand any events or phenomena; nothing exists outside of time. It conditions not only the question of ‘when’, but also influences the ‘what, how and why’ of our ideas about management. And yet management scholars have rarely considered this ‘temporal lens’ in understanding how time affects employees at work, or the organizations for which they work.This 2-volume set provides a fresh, temporal perspective on some of the most important and thriving areas in management research today. Volume 1 considers how time impacts the individual, and includes chapters on identity, emotion, motivation, stress and creativity. Volume 2 considers time in context with the organization, exploring a temporal understanding of leadership, HRM, entrepreneurship, teams and cross-cultural issues. There is an overall concern with the practical implications of understanding individuals and organizations within the most relevant timeframes, while the two volumes provide an actionable research agenda for the future. This is a highly significant contribution to management theory and research, and will be important reading for all students and researchers of Organizational Behavior, Organizational Psychology, Occupational Psychology, Business and Management and HRM.Trade Review'Until now, there has been little attention paid to the effects of time on key topics within Organizational Behaviour. This interesting book has been put together by academics with excellent credentials in this area and presents a different way of looking at many organizational topics. As such it is likely to have an impact in terms of stimulating new research in the field, and will appeal to academic researchers in psychology and organizational behaviour. It is also a useful book for graduate students.' - Fiona Jones, Institute of Psychological Sciences, University of Leeds, UKTable of Contents1.
