Taylor & Francis Routledge International Handbook of Masculinity
Book SynopsisThe Routledge International Handbook of Masculinity Studies provides a contemporary critical and scholarly overview of theorizing and research on masculinities as well as emerging ideas and areas of study that are likely to shape research and understanding of gender and men in the future. The forty-eight chapters of the handbook take an interdisciplinary approach to a range of topics on men and masculinities related to identity, sex, sexuality, culture, aesthetics, technology and pressing social issues. The handbook's transnational lens acknowledges both the localities and global character of masculinity. A clear message in the book is the need for intersectional theorizing in dialogue with feminist, queer and sexuality studies in making sense of men and masculinities.Written in a clear and direct style, the handbook will appeal to students, teachers and researchers in the social sciences and humanities, as well as professionals, practitionerTrade Review"This handbook offers an indispensable survey of the meanings, forms and structures of masculinity in contemporary culture. This book is timely and relevant!" Jack Halberstam, author of Female Masculinity"Covering a broad, interdisciplinary range of approaches within Masculinity Studies, this handbook provides a welcome overview of genealogies and contemporary perspectives. The ambition to decentre the location of the field in the Global North, as well as to highlight its entanglements with feminist, queer, trans-, and postcolonial studies makes the volume stand out.Nina Lykke, Professor Emerita, Gender Studies, Linköping University"This is the text I should have had when I was a young scholar; the fact that I will reach for it today is testimony to the attention the authors pay to the historical journey of masculinity studies while remaining refreshingly relevant. The handbook offers new areas of reading masculinities from transnational, intersectional and multi-disciplinary perspectives.

Taylor & Francis A Psychodynamic Approach to Female Domination in
Book SynopsisThis ground-breaking book explores contemporary forms of BDSM where women dominate in relationships and professions, opening new paths for psychological research in commercial and non-commercial BDSM.Based on a unique combination of qualitative investigation and academic research, it examines how BDSM has often crystalized conflicts in contemporary feminist debates, where sexually dominant women are pictured either as victims or as agents of resistance to the patriarchy. Nathalie Lugand argues that female domination in heterosexual BDSM is above all situated in a continuum structured by the values of care and by the circulation of money. Through a novel psychodynamic approach, Lugand demystifies BDSM relationships where women dominate, considering the impact of social relations of work in the construction of sexual identity and analyzing the difficulties that they cause in the erotic economy. The book affirms that to better understand the pleasure taken in female domination pTrade Review‘Nathalie Lugand skilfully crosses two traditionally separate fields of study – work and sexuality – and transforms our perspective on desire.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Places Sociality and Ecological Psychology
Book SynopsisThis book presents a collection of essays honoring Professor Harry Heft, a leading figure in the field of ecological psychology, engaging critically with his work, thought and influence. Containing 12 chapters written by leading experts from philosophy and psychology, this text critically examines, questions, and expands on crucial ideas from Heft concerning the nature of cognition, its relationship to the body and the environment (including the social and cultural environment), and the main philosophical assumptions underlying the scientific study of psychological functions. It elaborates on the notion of affordance, and its connection to social, cultural and developmental psychology, as well as on the application of Roger Barker's eco-behavioral program for current psychology and cognitive science. The book includes an extensive interview with Heft, where he reflects about the history, challenges and future of ecological psychology. Finally, it presents a chapter written byTrade ReviewFinally: Harry Heft is getting the recognition he deserves. His careful work has quietly inspired generations of researchers interested in the history and philosophy of psychology, especially pragmatism and the ecological approach. Many of us, myself included, found reading Heft’s 2001 masterpiece Ecological Psychology in Context to be a transformative experience. That work made the ideas of James Gibson and Roger Barker seem less strange and foreign by providing historical precedent in the late work of William James. This book collects brand new essays by some of those who were inspired by Heft’s philosophical and historical analyses, along with a delightful interview with Heft and his response to the collected essays. The interview alone is worth the price of admission and the rest of the collection is a crucial record of the mark Heft has left.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Doubt
Book SynopsisBlending the latest academic research with case studies of famous figures, this highly insightful book presents doubt' as a central concept for psychology. It is a concept which has been oddly neglected in the past, despite its ubiquitous nature and far-reaching influence. Exploring everything from self-doubt and impostor syndrome to the weaponisation of doubt with respect to climate change and the marketing of cigarettes, bestselling author Geoffrey Beattie navigates readers through the various ways doubt can start and develop, changing the individual in the process. Written in Beattie's distinctive and engaging style, Doubt takes the reader into the lives of transformational thinkers, artists, scientists and writers to explore how and why doubt was crucial in their lives and how the likes of Kafka, Jung, Picasso and Turing succumbed to doubt or learned to control it. Beattie argues that doubt is central to the self; it can be either a safeguarding mechanism or a distTrade Review"This is one of the most brilliant books I have ever come across. Its aim is to address the question of what is doubt, not directly in any circumscribed definitional standard, but by examining the powerful role it has had (and continues to have) in human life. To do so, Geoff Beattie takes the reader on a narrative journey into the minds of some of the greatest writers and scientists of history tin order to cast light on how their doubts shaped their creative and scientific accomplishments. He also looks at how doubt is harnessed maliciously to spread conspiracy theories about such things as climate change. Written in his usual accessible narrative style – let us not forget that Beattie is also an accomplished novelist as well as a distinguished psychologist – this book will be hard to put down. Its implications for grasping who we are as a species – we are the only species that possesses doubt – and for harnessing or counteracting its enormous power of control over human life, make it a must read for everyone."Marcel Danesi, PhD, FRCS, Professor Emeritus of Anthropology, University of Toronto, Canada"Beattie brilliantly illustrates the science of doubt with fascinating case studies from doubters like Kafka, to non-doubters like Picasso and how it can be addressed therapeutically, as in Brendan Ingle’s boxing gym in Sheffield."Brian Butterworth, Professor Emeritus of Cognitive Neuropsychology, University College London, UK"Geoff Beattie has written a brilliantly entertaining book about the little considered phenomenon of doubt, focusing mainly but not exclusively on self-doubt. Part memoir, part an examination of the psychology of doubt, and part an examination of the role of doubt (or lack of it) in the lives of key historical figures – Jung, Kafka, Picasso, Ernest Dichter (a psychoanalyst who devoted his talents to promoting the consumption of cigarettes) and Alan Turing – the book offers a wide-ranging and unique appreciation of the importance of doubt in individual minds and in human affairs."Richard Bentall, PhD, FBA, Professor of Clinical Psychology, University of Sheffield, UKTable of ContentsAcknowledgements 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Nostalgia and Political Theory
Book SynopsisIn Nostalgia and Political Theory, Lawrence Quill advocates the central importance of nostalgia as a theoretical response to the historic' past and a vertiginous present. He does so by offering detailed analyses of diverse theoretical approaches, from the ancient world to the modern day, in order to reassess the relation between nostalgia and politics. Quill proposes nostalgia as an organizing concept, silently (and not so silently) influencing theorists as they construct critiques of the present or visions of the political future.Nostalgia and Political Theory surveys key contributions to nostalgic and antinostalgic thinking from across the political spectrum. Assessing the influence of photography, radio, television, and personal computing on changing conceptions of the past, Quill also considers the relation between populism, nationalism, and nostalgia. By challenging those who would dismiss nostalgia as irrational or a symptom of cultural malaise, Quill concTrade ReviewNostalgia and Political Theory is an absolute treasure trove for anyone interested in understanding nostalgia within a historical and political context. Lawerence Quill shows in an accessible and comprehensible manner how and why nostalgia continues to serve as an important source for the political imagination. By linking nostalgia to different technologies, Quill makes nostalgia relevant to personal identity, political theory as well as to populist appropriation.Michael Hviid Jacobsen, Professor of Sociology, Aalborg University, Denmark.Traversing a gauntlet of historical, political, and technological ideas related to nostalgia in thoughtful, thorough, and eye-opening ways, Nostalgia and Political Theory is an important and fresh contribution to Nostalgia Studies. I learned so much about a topic I thought I already knew a good deal about. Lawrence Quill has a way of writing about nostalgia that makes putting this book down impossible. Highly recommended to scholars and nostalgia enthusiasts alike!Ryan Lizardi, Associate Professor, Digital Media Design and Humanities at SUNY Polytechnic InstituteAll human beings yearn to reconcile with their origins. Despite the best efforts of those who would deny that such an endeavor is possible, we continue to push against the constraints of memory in order to heal divisions within ourselves and our societies. This 'search for home' that is deeply rooted in the human psyche is the subject of Lawrence Quill's magisterial Nostalgia and Political Theory. A meticulously researched and eloquent book, it traces the history of nostalgia as a political concept from the dawn of civilization to the digital age. Brimming with erudition, it demonstrates the truth of Edmund Burke's conviction that 'People will not look forward to posterity who never look backward to their ancestors'. Indeed, there is no other book available that so comprehensively analyses this vital subject, and none that will so persuasively convince the reader of its necessity to any life worth living.Mark Dooley, Irish philosopher, writer, and journalistNo matter what sort of interest brings you to the subject of nostalgia – whether you’re critical, curious, or perhaps even a bit of a nostalgic yourself – Nostalgia and Political Theory, packed with provocative claims and ranging far and wide over the history of political thought, has something for you. From Hesiod’s Works and Days to the Rucellai Gardens, from Livy’s History to Thoreau’s cabin on Walden Pond, and from nineteenth-century photography to the iPhone, Professor Quill engages with a range of thinkers alienated from the world around them and eager to find comfort – and often revolutionary insight – in a purported past.Andrew Murphy, Professor of Political Science at the University of MichiganTable of ContentsPrefaceIntroduction1 Pre-modernity and Nostalgia2 An Emotional Contract3 Inventing the Past4 Nostalgia and Exile 5 Mediating Nostalgia 6 Consuming Nostalgia 7 Populism and NostalgiaConclusion Index

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Psychology of Political Communication
Book SynopsisContemporary politics is mass-communication politics. Politicians are not only seen and heard, they are seen and heard in close-up through television appearances, speeches, interviews, and on social media. In this book, the authors analyse the ways in which politicians communicate with each other, the media, and the electorate; they also discuss the implications of contemporary political discourse on the democratic process as a whole. Politicians in interviews are typically castigated for their evasiveness. However, microanalytic research shows that there is more to political discourse than this apparent ambiguity. This book reveals how equivocation, interruptions, and personal antagonism can offer valuable insights into a politician's communicative style. The authors review their empirical research not only on political interviews, but also on speeches, parliamentary debates, and political journalism.

Book SynopsisThis book provides a philosophical assessment of the idea of personhood advanced in popular self-help literature. It also traces, within academic philosophy and philosophical scholarship, a self-help culture where the self is brought forth as an object of improvement and a key to meaning, progress, and profundity. Unlike other academic treatments of the topic of self-help, this book is not primarily concerned with providing a critique of popular self-help and self-transformative practices. Rather, it is concerned with how they work to shape contemporary forms and ideals of moral personhood and are conducive to moral renegotiation and change. The book consists of two parts with somewhat different argumentative strategies. Part 1 consists of an overview and reassessment of popular self-help literature and its sociological and journalistic critics, written from a moral philosophical perspective.

She deftly and accessibly analyzes Freud's and Lacan's work on feminine sexuality, Winnicott's notion of the transitional object, and theories of sexuality and gender developed by Judith Butler and Monique Wittig, among others. Yusin starts with the question of how the lack of any essential definition of sexual difference affects subjectivity.

Book SynopsisCan school teach us to master life? This book confronts what the author sees as an ongoing trend in many Western democracies where citizens are increasingly being held accountable for their health and happiness.The author believes that the introduction of life skills in school shows a tendency to place more responsibility on the individual rather than address fundamental societal flaws that really should be solved politically. It examines how such responsibility to psychologically deal with these problems affects our mental health and quality of life. This book questions the fundamentals of the life mastery curriculum where we might be risking the creation of just another arena where children have to perform, challenging readers to evaluate more closely the premises, consequences and limitations of life mastery.The book, one of the first to question life mastery' as an achievable goal with critical reviews of the 21st century skills movement, will be of interest to psyTrade Review‘Around the world, governments are now considering introducing life skills as a subject for children in schools. Norway has been a first mover, and, in this important new book, Ole Jacob Madsen critically discusses the dilemmas related to this development. This book is significant not just for readers interested in life skills curricula, but for anyone who wonders about the current replacement of political solutions to societal problems with psychological ones.

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

Taylor & Francis Ltd Perpetrators of Mass Atrocities
Book SynopsisThe 9/11 attacks, as well as the ones in Madrid, London, Paris and Brussels; the genocides in Nazi Germany, Rwanda and Cambodia; the torture in dictatorial regimes; the wars in former Yugoslavia, Syria and Iraq and currently in Ukraine; the sexual violence during periods of conflict, all make us wonder: why would anyone do something like that? Who are these people? Drawing on 30 years of research, in this book Alette Smeulers explores the perpetrators of mass atrocities such as war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and terrorism. Examining questions of why people kill and torture and how mass atrocities can be explained, Smeulers presents a typology of perpetrators, with different ranks, roles and motives.Devoting one chapter to each type of perpetrator, the book combines insights from academic research with illustrative case studies of well-known perpetrators, from dictators to middlemen, to lower ranking officials and terrorists. Their stories are explored in depth Trade Review"In this ground-breaking volume, Prof. Smeulers summarizes findings of three decades of research on perpetrators of mass atrocities. On the basis of her extensive database, she developed an original classification of more than a dozen types of perpetrators. Surprisingly, this typology manages to unlock the door to a new and differentiated understanding of evil as specific human weaknesses that allow certain manifestations of violence to occur. In doing so, she offers the international criminal justice system a new instrument to assess levels of responsibility for crimes against humanity, genocide, war crimes and terrorism."Prof. em. Alex P. Schmid, former Research Coordinator of PIOOM the Interdisciplinary Research Programme on Root Causes of Human Rights Violations."This is an outstanding book. It classifies high level perpetrators of extreme mass violence, the killing of large numbers of people, such as the Criminal Mastermind, the Careerist, the Fanatic, the True Believer, altogether 14 categories. It gives detailed examples of each type, from varied countries, describing their life histories and actions. The book is highly informative, easy to read, a tremendous contribution to the literature on atrocities."Ervin Staub, Professor Emeritus of Psychology, author of The Roots of Evil, Overcoming Evil, and The Roots of Goodness and Resistance to Evil. "Smeuler’s typology of perpetrators of mass atrocities authoritatively deconstructs the criminal pyramid to unfold the role(s) played by each actor in the spiral leading to the Unthinkable. Building a bridge to the courtroom, Smeulers’ typology is key to apprehend individual criminal responsibility. A must-read for international criminal law practitioners."Caroline Fournet, Professor of Law at the University of Exeter and Editor-in-Chief of International Criminal Law Review."Alette Smeulers has written an amazing book that is a must-read for scholars and policy makers in the field of atrocity crimes and human rights in general. Drawing on her previous work about persons engaged in extreme violence and serious human rights violations, she has now produced an extensive and innovative typology of perpetrators. Each of them contains activities, justifications, personality traits and the social context of specific offenders and their offences.

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

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

Book SynopsisIn the World Library of Psychologists series, international experts present career-long collections of what they judge to be their finest piecesâextracts from books, key articles, salient research findings, and their major practical theoretical contributions.In this volume, Roy F. Baumeister reflects on his distinguished career as an eminent scholar in the field of self-control and self-regulation, as well as belonging, rejection, free will, and consciousness. Offering a unique perspective on both the program of research in ego-depletion as one of social psychologyâs most widely successful theories, and its position in the changing landscape of the scientific field, the book charts Baumeisterâs development as one of the pioneers of study into self-control. Featuring a newly written introductory piece in which the author offers a unique insight into the initial findings that led to an eventual theory of ego-depletion, this collection will give readers a vital undTable of Contents Introduction Ego depletion: is the active self a limited resource?

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

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

In this time of austerity, it is easy to despair, but this book offers lots of examples of how to get involved in working with others to create a better world. It moves beyond theory to describe different forms of collective action and inspires hope about social change. Another world, a better world is possible but action without reflection can threaten progress. This book explores the underlying theories, values and different forms of social action in a lucid and stimulating format.’ - Michael Murray, Emeritus Professor of Social & Health Psychology, Keele University, UK. 'The second edition of this ground-breaking volume maintains the excellent approach of the first volume; it is honest, self-reflective and comprehensive in describing and elaborating this vastly important approach to understanding behaviour, institutions, societies and processes of change. It has been updated with modern cases and developments on the global stage and goes into detail of how change can be achieved without simply trying to shout louder than others. As young people become increasingly aware of their rights and of the crucial importance of altering the direction of travel if their futures are to be more secure than they currently appear, so increasing numbers of university courses (and not just Psychology degrees) will need to offer modules that provide the sort of thoughtful and lucid analyses outlined in this volume. This will make an excellent source book for such modules.' - Roger Ingham, Professor of Health and Community Psychology, University of Southampton, UK Table of Contents Introduction PART I: THINK!

Taylor & Francis Ltd Socialisation During the Life Course
Book SynopsisThis comprehensive text highlights new developments in sociological, educational and psychological aspects of socialisation, examining how human beings as ''subjects'' experiencing, thinking and acting individuals confront the material, social and cultural ''objects'' of their environment and sustain their position. The authors provide an overview of the most important theories of socialisation, then integrate these using the Productive Processing of Reality (PPR) model. This novel approach is applied to a life course analysis, examining developmental tasks and the challenges of productive processing of the internal and external reality at various stages of development. The book also considers contexts, addressing the inequalities between different socio-economic and ethnic groups and genders, to consider how humans with their genetic dispositions and their individual instincts and needs solve the task of coping with the requirements of society, culture and economy while atTrade Review"Socialisation seems like such a simple topic at first glance, but, as this book illustrates so well, the interactions between person and environment that constitute socialisation are incredibly complex. Hurrelmann and Bauer distill all of this complexity in an artfully accessible way that speaks to both psychology and sociology." – Robert Crosnoe, The University of Texas at Austin, USA"The authors’ key concept of ‘Productive Processing of Reality’ is much more than a catchy formula: it integrates approaches and findings from several disciplines, addressing many questions of how individuals master tensions between social integration and individuation. The book’s highly readable style will be a discovery for many readers." - Doris Bühler-Niederberger, Bergische Universität Wuppertal, GermanyTable of ContentsAbout the authors 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Psychological Aspects of Crisis Negotiation
Book SynopsisPsychological Aspects of Crisis Negotiation, Third Edition, explores the methods and strategies for confronting the nine types of subjects typically encountered in hostage/suicide sieges by correctional staff and law enforcement crisis negotiators. Strentz, an experienced negotiator who designed and directed the FBI's hostage negotiator program, lays out the critical elements that are required for a successful encounter with a hostage taker or other malfeasant.This book highlights psychological dynamics of negotiations as they apply to the negotiator, the hostage, and the subject. It discusses the predictors of surrender versus the need for a tactical intervention and examines the phases of a hostage crisis and the changing focus as the crisis develops. Referencing historical events such as the Bay of Pigs invasion and the Challenger and Columbia incidents, this text demonstrates how faulty group decision making can spell tragedy.Enhanced with case studies to Trade Review"Psychological Aspects of Crisis Negotiation addresses issues that other books don't cover in great detail. It stands alone and would be an excellent addition to any other book out there. I would heartily recommend this book for those who are crisis negotiation teachers and students."– Ray Birge, crisis negotiations consultant, Ray Birge and Associates; Captain, Oakland, CA, Police Department (retired)"The sections on mental health history and SWAT interface are extremely timely. With mental health treatment cutbacks, law enforcement is dealing with increasing numbers of mentally ill persons. This book gives the tools police negotiators need in interacting with persons in crisis. It is also important to understand the SWAT vs. negotiations dynamic. The vast majority of SWAT calls are resolved by negotiations. It is imperative all negotiators understand how SWAT can help or hurt the negotiations process."– Russell Moore, Sheriff Sergeant, San Diego Sheriff’s DepartmentTable of ContentsAcknowledgements.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Bisexual and Pansexual Identities
Book SynopsisThis book explores the invisibility and invalidation of bisexuality from the past to the present and is unique in extending the discussion to focus on contemporary and emerging identities. Nikki Hayfield draws on research from psychology and the social sciences to offer a detailed and in-depth exploration of the invisibility and invalidation of bisexuality, pansexuality, and asexuality.The book discusses how early sexologists' understood gender and sexuality within a binary model and how this provided the underpinnings of bisexual invisibility. The existing research on biphobia and bisexual marginalisation is synthesised to explore how bisexuality has often been invisible or invalidated. Hayfield then evidences clear examples of the invisibility and invalidation of bisexuality, pansexuality, and asexuality within education, employment, mainstream mass media, and the wider culture. Throughout the book there is consideration of the impact that this invisibility and invaTrade Review‘Hayfield's Bisexual and Pansexual Identities: Exploring and Challenging Invisibility and Invalidation is a much needed text both in studying plurisexualities and sexualities more broadly. Hayfield's text has a brilliant clarity and breadth, giving much needed academic attention to bisexual identities, and also sexual identities not commonly studied including asexuality and pansexuality. Its particular strengths lie in characterising the complex and disparate debates to impress upon the reader the invisibility and marginalisation of plurisexual identities. These points are accentuated through Hayfield's compelling usage of contemporary illustrations of plurisexual invisibility across media and society.
