Book SynopsisIssues of identity, culture and difference remain central to the politics, policies and encounters of global societies in the 21st century. Changes in the speed, scale, scope and form of international and internal migration, new and resurgent religious and ethnic solidarities, the emergence of ânewâ multicultural societies, and the fusions and fissures of âoldâ multicultural societies, have challenged and redrawn our understandings of nation and community, citizenship and belonging, exclusion and equality. This landmark collection, which marks the relaunch of the ground-breaking journal Identities: Global Studies in Culture and Power, brings together some of the leading international scholars in the field of race, ethnicity, migration and transnationalism to reflect on the changing landscape of research, theorisation and politics in this challenging contemporary context.

Book SynopsisPierre Janet (1859 1947) is considered to be one of the founders of psychology, and pioneered in the disciplines of psychology, philosophy and psychotherapy. Janet's most crucial research, particularly in the subjects of dissociation' and subconscious' - terms coined by him - is explored in this book, first published in 1952. As Janet did not publish much in English, these notes provide guidance on such areas of study as hysteria and hypnosis, obsessive thinking and the psychology of adaption. Elton Mayo's comprehensive collection is an important guide for any student with an interest in the history of psychology, psychopathology and social study, and Janet's revolutionary work in the field.Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisA Malcolm Gladwell, Susan Cain, Daniel Pink and Adam Grant NEXT BIG IDEA book club read about how to avoid the pitfalls of too little, and too much, complexity.''Essential insights into the character of human choice and decision-making.'' ROBERT CIALDINI, bestselling author of Influence________In this groundbreaking exploration of how our brains work, psychologist Professor Kevin Dutton explains that by understanding the nature of our hardwired black and white thinking we are better equipped to negotiate life''s grey zones and make subtler and smarter decisions.Our brains are hardwired to sort, categorize and draw lines. It''s how we navigate the kaleidoscope of everyday information. Yet imagine failing an exam by a mere 1 per cent. Or being caught speeding at just 1 mph over the speed limit. We have to draw the line somewhere, we say. But lines can be unhelpful or even dangerous when drawn where they aren''t wanted, or in Trade ReviewDutton provides simplifying, clarifying and essential insights into the character of human choice and decision-making. You'll not think about thinking the same way afterwards. * Robert Cialdini, author of INFLUENCE and PRE-SUASION *Kevin Dutton has the great gift of being able to see patterns in human behaviour… He talks about his discoveries, and about their implications for all of us, with the flair and clarity of a practised storyteller. Fascinating, important, and entirely convincing. * Philip Pullman *Kevin Dutton is a Special Forces style psychologist. Daring. Original. All-action. No nonsense. * Sir Ranulph Fiennes *

Book SynopsisFor those who believe America is worth defending, The Control Factor explores the psychological maneuvers, fantasies, and entanglements we engage in to avoid clearly seeing the Islamic threat that confronts us. The prerequisite for developing necessary strategies to ensure our survival is taking responsibility for our perceptions and actions.Trade Review…A remarkable book explaining in poignant fashion why we are unable to marshal the necessary emotional resources to compete against the challenge of radical Islam. For anyone interested in the civilizational struggle we find ourselves in, this book is essential reading. -- Herbert I. London, president, Hudson Institute…Brilliantly exposes and analyzes the true factors at work that have led the American body politic to engage in massive self-deception, refusing to recognize the extent of the threat of radical Islam. Siegel dissects and articulates the true reasons why we have, wittingly and unwittingly, turned a blind eye to the magnitude of the three different "levels" of threat posed by Islamism as described here. I consider this book so critically important that it holds a key to our survival as a free society. Siegel pierces the façade of political correctness that has blinded us to the dangers we face and warns us of what awaits if we fail to act. -- Steven Emerson, Executive Director, The Investigative Project on TerrorismWillful blindness, today's refusal to come to grips with the Islamist threat to the West, is America's most profound national security vulnerability. Supremacist Islam's campaign has targeted the United States by violent jihad, a softer and more insidious march through our institutions, and lawfare salvos fired in American courts and international tribunals. Desperate to avoid offense to Islamist activists and their allies, we surrender to the politically correct narrative that the vital measures taken in our own defense are the cause of our peril. The Control Factor powerfully unfolds this process of self-delusion and the struggle to remove the scales we've placed over our eyes. Survival of the West's freedom culture — our commitment to critical inquiry based ordered liberty and human reason — hangs in the balance. -- Andrew C.

Book SynopsisAlthough social psychology has been traditionally focused on interpersonal relationships, the cognitive revolution in psychology has had the effect of refocusing some social psychology on intra-psychic processes. This area of psychology has become very popular in recent years, yet there is currently no other textbook available for the study of the self. Republished in its original form by Psychology Press in 2007, this book carefully documents the changing conceptions and the value accorded the self in psychology over time. It further outlines the many alternative conceptions of this increasingly central domain in social psychology. New research and conceptions are juxtaposed with the classic and traditional, providing the reader with a comprehensive introduction to the study of the self.Table of Contents1. Introduction. 2. The Nature of the Self. 3. The Search for Self-Knowledge. 4. Self-Development. 5. The Self from a Cognitive Perspective. 6. Self-Regulation of Behavior. 7. Self-Presentation. 8. Self-Esteem. 9.

Real Change The most pressing problem we face today is not climate change. It is pollution in the public square, where a toxic smog of adversarial rhetoric, propaganda, and polarization stifles discussion and debate, creating resistance to change and thwarting our ability to solve our collective problems.In this second edition of I'm Right and You're an Idiot, James Hoggan grapples with this critical issue, through interviews with outstanding thinkers and drawing on wisdom from highly regarded public figures.

Book SynopsisThrough the evaluation and integration of developmental theories, this volume proposes a new structural/behavioral model of development. Dr. Horowitzâs model helps account for both the behavioral development of children (with extensions across the life-span) and for the universal and non-universal characteristics in human behavioral development. Exploring Developmental Theories also sheds a new and different light on the nature- nurture or heredity-environment controversy and on the topic of continuity and discontinuity in development. Exploring Developmental Theories:*examines the concepts of stage, structure, and systems; organismic theory; and general system theory;*analyzes open and closed systems as well as organismic and mechanistic world views;*integrates the concepts associated with organismic and mechanist world views;*examines learning mechanisms and processes that foster the acquisition of behavior, and*discusses the strengths and weaknesses of Gessel, Piaget, and behaviorism in accounting for behavioral development. Trade Review"This book is a fine and bold attempt to build a model of development. Few try it, and Horowitz is to be commended for both the effort and its results ... Horowitz's model is important precisely because she has attempted to overcome what others have considered unbridgeable."—Human DevelopmentTable of ContentsContents: Overture.

Book SynopsisBringing together neuroscientists, social scientists, and humanities scholars in cross-disciplinary exploration of the topic of cultural memory, this collection moves from seminal discussions of the latest findings in neuroscience to variegated, specific case studies of social practices and artistic expressions. This volume highlights what can be gained from drawing on broad interdisciplinary contexts in pursuing scholarly projects involving cultural memory and associated topics.The collection argues that contemporary evolutionary science, in conjunction with studies interconnecting cognition, affect, and emotion, as well as research on socially mediated memory, provides innovatively interdisciplinary contexts for viewing current work on how cultural and social environments influence gene expression and neural circuitry. Building on this foundation, Cultural Memory turns to the exploration of the psychological processes and social contexts through which cultural mTrade Review"With something as diffuse as 'cultural memory,' the rich resources behind the humanities, social sciences, and neuroscience must be called upon. Readers will here be amply rewarded by the range and clarity of the competing frameworks on offer. Leading experts consistently help make sense of this vast terrain even as they help build it and trouble its assumptions. Throughout, literature and the arts help us to think through enactive, evolutionary, and predictive scientific models of mind, memory, and trauma."Richard C. Sha, Professor of Literature and Affiliate Professor of Philosophy, American University "This innovative collection approaches the situated dynamism, adaptive resilience, and transgenerational reach of human memory. From ancient folk tales to modernist epics and immigrant recipes, storytelling and symbolization support the plasticity and pluralism of cultural memory in search of sustainable worlds. Combining new research in neuroscience and epigenetics with cultural analysis, this volume has profound implications for how we understand and enact consciousness, agency, and collective identity in the face of war, globalization, and the ruins of time."Julia Reinhard Lupton, author of Shakespeare Dwelling: Designs for the Theater of Life"This book represents an audacious attempt to integrate cultural knowledge into a general neuro-cognitive model of human knowledge. Such integration is a necessary step toward our understanding of how primate cognition over time evolve to accommodate the rise of of human communication and human culture."T.

Book SynopsisThis book focuses on autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the criminal justice system. Rather than being the perpetrators of offending behaviour, individuals with ASD are more likely to be the victims of crime. However, there is nevertheless a small subset of individuals with ASD who do offend, and this book provides an in-depth understanding of how certain features of ASD may provide the context of vulnerability to engaging in a number of types of offending behaviours. Chapters focus on arson or fire-setting; cybercrime (e.g., hacking); online sexual offending such as the viewing of indecent child imagery; offline sexual offending; violent crime; stalking; terroristic behaviour (including radicalisation and extremism); bestiality or zoophilia; and also extreme violence such as mass shooting and serial homicide. This book also outlines the ways in which a defendant with ASD may present in court and how they may exhibit behaviour which could be misinterpreted and perceived negatiTrade Review"Dr Clare Allely is a world-leading expert in the field of violent crime and its relationship to ASD. Here, she takes on the difficult and complex task of explicating how ASD and the criminal justice system(s) interact. She provides a convincing body of evidence to support the notion that, in the future, a better understanding of ASD on the part of psychiatrists, psychologists, and, not least, legal practitioners, will lead to much better-informed decisions, particularly as regards criminal responsibility in ASD, within the justice system(s)." – Christopher Gillberg, MD, PhDProfessor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, senior consultantGillberg Neuropsychiatry Centre, SwedenUniversities of Gothenburg, Sweden, and Glasgow, ScotlandKochi Gillberg Centre, Japan"Allely’s work is cross-disciplinary, practical and based in contemporary international research experience. It provides a ground-breaking insight into the relationship between ASD and the criminal law. It has the potential to remove stigmatising misperceptions and provide a sound expert basis for better informed decision-making." – Professor Ian Freckelton AO QC"Allely expertly crafts an understanding of the persistent deficits that occur in ASD and the impact on those, often undiagnosed, caught up in criminal justice systems. She provides comprehensive understanding of how impairments may be exhibited or conversely masked by superficial social skills. She demolishes the suggestion that individuals with ASD lack empathy, nor are they any more likely to engage in offending behaviour compared to individuals without a diagnosis of ASD. In fact, they are more likely to be victims. Her stark warning is that the criminal justice system is frequently failing those with ASD and it is imperative that the judiciary and legal practitioners understand the existing research and use the available toolkits to reduce what is commonly a challenging and negative experience. Her call for further research to progress systemic changes to criminal responsibility ought to be heard by those at the highest level of law and policy reform." – Professor Felicity Gerry QC, international QC at Libertas Chambers, London and Crockett Chambers, Melbourne.Table of ContentsPrefaceChapter 1: What is Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)?

Book SynopsisOffering unique coverage of an emerging, interdisciplinary area, this comprehensive handbook examines the theoretical underpinnings and emergent conceptions of intercultural mediation in related fields of study. Authored by global experts in fields from intercultural communication and conflict resolution to translation studies, literature, political science, and foreign language teaching, chapters trace the history, development, and present state of approaches to intercultural mediation. The sections in this volume show how the concept of intercultural mediation has been constructed among different fields and shaped by its specific applications in an open cycle of influence. The book parses different philosophical conceptions as well as pragmatic approaches, providing ample grounding in the key perspectives on this growing field of discourse. The Routledge Handbook of Intercultural Mediation is a valuable reference for graduate and postgraduate students sTrade Review"Today, the promises and pitfalls of multiculturalism, internationalism and globalization fill our headlines and our daily lives. As a result, there is an increasingly urgent need for peacemakers who can bring sensitivity, insight, evidence and skill to helping us navigate cultural differences, particularly those that are deep, invisible and sacred.

Dominic Busch has managed to put together a stimulating interdisciplinary and visionary compendium around intercultural mediation.

The handbook retells the past of intercultural mediation, keeps us up-to-date with today’s research and inspires us for the future. It should be on everyone’s must-read list."Fred Dervin, Professor of Multicultural Education, University of Helsinki, Finland"The ideas and practices of intercultural mediation draw (or at least, should draw) from a wide variety of subject matter, fields and research traditions. A thorough academic treatment that crosses all these ‘silos’ is overdue, and The Routledge Handbook of Intercultural Mediation addresses this gap in style. Its array of authors shows not only the expected level of expertise as well as the range of cultures and nations for such a work, but also a creative selection of fields and backgrounds.

This volume, appearing as the world struggles with the global impact of both epidemic and war, could hardly be more timely. It is unique in bringing both depth and breadth to the topic of intercultural mediation.

Full of innovative approaches and observations, including alternatives to and critiques of a Western-only approach to mediation, this Handbook of Intercultural Mediation is a treatment of mediation that examines interculturality as it should be done- comprehensively, globally, and respectfully. This volume, appearing as the world struggles with the global impact of both epidemic and war, could hardly be more timely. It is unique in bringing both depth and breadth to the topic of intercultural mediation. Especially remarkable for the range of scales represented, from analyses of language to international politics, the volume is destined to be a touchstone for work in mediation, and for intercultural studies generally, for years to come.

Book SynopsisBringing together cutting-edge theory and research that bridges academic disciplines from criminology and criminal justice, to developmental psychology, sociology, and political science, Thinking About Victimization offers an authoritative and refreshingly accessible overview of scholarship on the nature, sources, and consequences of victimization.This book integrates empirical research and victimization theory and is written in a lively style, with sharp storytelling and an appreciation of international research on victimization. Rooted in a healthy respect for criminological history and the important foundational works in victimization studies, it provides a detailed account of how different data sources can influence our understanding of victimization; of how the sources of victimization - individual, situational, and contextual - are complicated and varied; and of how the consequences of victimization - personal, social, and political - are just as complex. ThinTrade Review'Taking a fresh approach, Jillian Turanovic and Travis Pratt analyze victimization across diverse contexts, ranging from the small confines of the prison to the expansive reach of the internet. This volume is rich in theory and scholarship but masterfully written to be accessible to students at all levels. It also is a work of practical relevance, as readers are encouraged to consider the disquieting consequences of victimization and to evaluate the policies—both effective and foolish—proposed to reduce such harm.

Book SynopsisWhat is misinformation? Why does it matter? How does it spread on the internet, especially on social media platforms? What can we do to counteract the worst of its effects? Can we counteract its effects now that it is ubiquitous? These are the questions we answer in this book. We are living in an information age (specifically an algorithmic age) which prioritizes information quantity over quality. Social media has brought billions of people from across the world together online and the impact of diverse platforms, such as Facebook, WeChat, Reddit, LinkedIn, Signal, WhatsApp, Gab, Instagram, Telegram, and Snapchat, has been transformational.The internet was created, with the best of intentions, as an online space where written content could be created, consumed and diffused without any real intermediary. This empowering aspect of the web is still, mostly, a force for good. People, on the whole, are better informed and online discussion is more inclusive because barriers to participation are reduced. As activity online has grown, however, an expanding catalogue of research reveals a darker side to social media, and the internet generally. Namely, misinformationâs ability to negatively influence our behaviour both online and offline.The solution we provide to this growing dilemma is informed by Ludwig Wittgensteinâs Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, which examines the relationship between language and reality from a philosophical perspective, and complements Claude Shannonâs Information Quantity Theory, which addresses the quantification, storage and communication of digital information from a mathematical perspective. The book ends by setting out a model designed by us: a Wittgensteinian approach to information quality. It defines content published online by clarifying the propositions and claims made within it. Our modelâs online information quality check allows users to effectively analyse the quality of trending online content. This approach to misinformation analysis and prevention has been designed to be both easy to use and pragmatic. It upholds freedom of speech online while using the harm principle to categorise problematic content.Table of Contents1. Introduction, 2. Background, 3. A Philosophical Approach, 4. Interventions, 5.

Book SynopsisWe are living in a world in which the existence of risk is constantly debated, misinformation and disinformation are rife and spread quickly and easily through online media, and where governments and institutions continue to avoid taking decisive action even when there is general agreement that a serious threat exists. Understanding how people, social groups and social organizations understand, respond to and act on threats, hazards and dangers is more important than ever. In Risk, Deborah Lupton asserts the ongoing importance of the analysis of risk in our age of permacrisis and mounting scepticism about experts and science, calling for a re-turn' to risk theory in the social sciences.The book outlines the three major approaches to risk in social and cultural theory, devoting a chapter to each. The first approach draws upon the work of Mary Douglas to articulate the cultural/symbolic perspective on risk. The second approach is that of the risk society perspective, basTable of Contents1.

Book SynopsisClear and accessible in style, this book offers a comprehensive introduction to criminal justice and forensic mental health and the ways in which they intersect.Assuming no prior exposure to the field of criminal forensic psychology, the book reviews ten areas where mental health professionals contribute regularly to the due process of law: comprehension of rights, competency to stand trial, transfer of juveniles to adult court, risk assessment, mitigation, sentencing, sexually violent predators, insanity, and capital punishment of persons with mental illness and with intellectual disability. The book also explores the major categories of mental disorders, how they contribute to criminal behavior, and what problems they present in courts and corrections. Landmark cases from the United States and United Kingdom are also reviewed in detail to develop a thorough understanding of the court's decision-making process. Bridging the gap between abstraction and practice throughTrade Review“Dr Jonathan Venn has written a tour de force. In four decades of practice as a forensic psychologist, I have never seen such a comprehensive, clear, and deeply thoughtful textbook on the science and practice of forensic psychology.” J. Reid Meloy, Ph.D., ABPP, Former President at the American Academy of Forensic Psychology and Fellow at the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, USA“This comprehensive textbook by Dr. Venn is long overdue for the field. He does an excellent, thorough job of explaining clearly some of the most complex challenges to the forensic psychologist as in Chapter Two on preparing for and serving as an expert witness in court. The bibliographies accompanying each chapter provide a list of outstanding resources on each subject covered. Bravo!” Florence Kaslow, Ph.D., ABPP, Founding President, American Board of Forensic Psychology, USA“Dr. Venn has accomplished a remarkable task: integrating legal history, case law, statutes and clinical applications. I think it could be subtitled: “Everything you ever wanted to know about criminal forensic psychology." Its focus on the controversies in many different substantive areas, is quite original, and gives a sense of the realities of forensic practice, rather than a series of abstract observations. The organization is excellent, in that it looks at the major components of each substantive issue. These significant components have often been overlooked in previous texts I have seen. Finally, the writing style is easy to follow, and one looks forward to the next part of each issue being discussed.”David L. Shapiro, Ph.D., ABPP, Professor Emeritus, College of Psychology, Nova Southeastern University, USA"This excellent text is intended to thoroughly introduce mental health professionals into forensic practices. It is clearly dedicated to criminal issues, such as insanity, Miranda waivers, and the death penalty. Succinct chapters highlight the interesting backgrounds of defendants in landmark legal cases. Regarding the science of forensic psychology, important advances in forensic tests are featured. Students and professionals interested in the practice of criminal forensic psychology should read this book from cover to cover." Richard Rogers, Ph.D., ABPP, Regents Professor of Psychology and Eminent Faculty, University of North Texas, USA"In Crime and Psychology: Foundations of Forensic Practice, Jonathan Venn has generated the “missing book” that many experts in mental health law would have given their eye teeth for when they were first starting out. Dr. Venn explains “everything you wanted to know” about why things are the way they are in the American criminal justice system. Crime and Psychology includes a treasury of “back stories” of famous cases, exhaustive references to case law, and wisdom earned through years of expert practice. The book is readily accessible for undergraduates and graduates trying to decide on a career path in psychology. Dr. Venn provides not only a workman’s view of how the system operates, but he provides a compassionate take on how mental illness plays a central role in the lives of many criminal defendants. I plan to read this book once a year to remind myself of the foundations of my forensic practice."Richard Frederick, Ph.D., ABPP, Private Practice, Minneapolis, USA"In this engaging, comprehensive, and deeply scholarly text, Dr. Venn has done a remarkable job of weaving together historical and contemporary case law and its philosophical and political underpinnings, psychological research, clinical issues, practical concerns, and detailed case studies. Dr. Venn’s readers – whether students or established professionals – will find their knowledge of forensic psychology, its underlying concepts, and its controversies tremendously enriched." Carol E. Holden, Ph.D., ABPP, University of Michigan, USA"I have known Dr. Jonathan Venn for many years and he is a thorough and thoughtful neuropsychologist with decades of forensic experience. He is also an excellent witness. These skills are all evident in his new book, Crime and Psychology: Foundations of Forensic Practice, which will surely be an important resource tool for those studying and practicing forensic psychology." John H. Blume, J.D., Samuel S. Leibowitz Professor of Trial Techniques and Director of the Cornell Death Penalty Project, Cornell Law School, USA"Dr. Venn has written an important, thoughtful, scholarly, and thoroughly-researched textbook that will greatly enhance our understanding of the origins, history, case law, and forensic psychological practice involved in the complex intricacies of criminal procedural law and mental illness. His text reflects his decades-long experience as a criminal forensic psychologist who has evaluated and given expert testimony in hundreds of adolescent and adult cases at every stage of prosecution from pre-trial issues such as competency to stand trial to at-trial issues of mental state at the time of offense (e.g., insanity) to post-trial issues of sentencing including the death penalty to appellate issues of competency to be executed. Faculty teaching in introductory and advanced forensic psychology and forensic psychiatry training programs will find this textbook a valuable resource for their students and themselves." Geoffrey R. McKee, Ph.D, ABPP, Diplomate in Forensic Psychology and American Board of Professional Psychology, USA"The author is a highly respected Board Certified Forensic Psychologist who has managed to present complex topics in an easy to digest, yet thorough fashion. The style of writing is clear and articulate, and the frequent use of case examples is particularly helpful. I highly recommend this book for graduate students as well as early career practitioners interested in forensic psychological practice in the criminal justice system." Ira K. Packer, Ph.D., ABPP (Forensic), Professor Emeritus, University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School, USA"Most of the chapters begin with nuggets of historical background for the relevant legal question. How did the legal concept evolve to become embedded in our modern case law, and how is that relevant for your forensic mental health assessments? Not on the tip of the tongue for many forensic examiners. But history deepens your appreciation of your assessment’s purpose and importance."Thomas Grisso, Ph.D., University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School, USA"Perhaps the greatest compliment I could give a book such as this is that it does exactly what the author set out to do. It provides an honest picture of the career of a forensic psychologist. Case examples give life to legal principles and processes, and complex questions are explained in clear, thoughtful language that is easily digested. The list of topics covered is comprehensive, and the resulting discussions are practical...Perhaps you are someone who has wondered about the practice of forensic psychology. Or perhaps you have contemplated a career in this field or started down the path that Jonathan Venn has described so well. In either case, this book is for you. I hope you enjoy reading it and learning about this fascinating profession."From the Foreword by Joel A.

Book SynopsisThis important new volume addresses an underappreciated dimension of Jung's work, his concept of the teleology, or future-orientation, of psychic reality.The work, authored by an international group of Jungian scholars, expands upon the socio-cultural, psychological, therapeutic, and philosophical import of this key pillar of the Jungian oeuvre, offering a compelling alternative to current, culturally dominant ideas about how change occurs. The book addresses varied aspects of his teleological thought generally, and its application to the psychotherapeutic endeavor specifically, engaging Freudian, neo-Freudian, and related theoretical orientations in an informed dialogue about the critical issue of the emergent unfolding of subjectivity in treatment.This is an illuminating read for those interested in the study of Jungian theory, psychoanalysis, social psychology, religion, transpersonal psychology, indigenous wisdom traditions, and philosophical metapsychology.

Book SynopsisOriginally published in 1996, and now with a new preface, Growing Critical is an introduction to critical psychology, focusing on development. It takes a fresh look at infancy, childhood and adulthood and makes the startling claim that âdevelopmentâ does not exist.John R. Morss guides the reader from the early critical movements of the 1970s which gave rise to the âsocial construction of developmentâ through the wide range of more recent approaches. He looks in turn at Vygotskyâs âsocial context of developmentâ, HarrÃâs âsocial constructionismâ, Marxist critique of developmental psychology, psychoanalytic interpretations of development, and finally post-structuralist approaches following Foucault and Derrida. He surveys the range of alternative positions in the critical psychology of development and evaluates the achievements of Newman and Holzman, Broughton, Tolman, Walkerdine and others.Marxism, psychoanalysis and post-structuralism â as well as such movements as feminism â challenge our understanding of human development. Morss looks beyond the laboratory to Marx and Freud, to Lacan and Foucault. What sets Growing Critical apart from orthodox psychology is the seriousness with which he has thought through the implications of these challenges.Contemporary and âreader-friendlyâ, Growing Critical will be of value to both undergraduate and advanced students, as well as to anyone interested in human development, in psychology, sociology or education.

Mysteries of the Social Brain describes the scientific underpinnings of human behavior and values. Through the retelling of fascinating clinical stories of people with neurological conditions, this book explores the parts of the brain that allow humans to thrive as social and creative beings. The authors reveal the relevance of our brain circuits to our well-beingâand the well-being of our societiesâand show what happens when changes in our brain circuitry drive changes in empathy, altruism, moral beliefs, and creativity.By integrating perspectives from neurology, psychology, psychiatry, and neuroscience, the stories in this book offer novel insights into the inner workings of the social brain and reveal groundbreaking findings from work in frontotemporal dementia, emotion, and the science of human values.

Book SynopsisCombining hard data with the authorâs personal story of a life in the U.S. South and then as a university professor, this book sheds a new light on tribalistic ideologies. Such ideologies are a deeply troubling feature of civic life in America and in many western democracies as they erode trust among citizens, sow divisions, and pervert a larger pursuit of truth and understanding. Philosopher Allen Buchanan weaves together his own autobiography with the latest research in psychology, politics, anthropology, and philosophy to better understand the nature and causes of ideological tribalism, its pernicious effects on the individual and society, and the best possible solutions for curbing its spread.The story begins with Buchanan as a middle class, white boy in 1950s Arkansas, absorbing and espousing the racist ideas of his parents, church, and community. This beginning intentionally inculpates the author in subsequent criticisms of tribalism and â because Buchanan left this wor

Book SynopsisThe Constructive Mind presents the life, work and legacy of Frederic Bartlett (1886-1969), one of the leading psychologists of the twentieth century. Wagoner describes Bartlett's fundamental ideas - such as constructive remembering, imagining, thinking, schema and cultural dynamics - and how these have developed from Bartlett's time until today.Trade Review'In this comprehensive and insightful book, Brady Wagoner deftly analyses the progression of Bartlett's work. This is no mere re-evaluation - Wagoner renders Bartlett as a contemporary thinker, and a force for renewal in psychology.' Steven D. Brown, University of Leicester'Brady Wagoner brilliantly re-examines Bartlett's life, science, and influence in this scholarly and deeply engaged book. Part fascinating scientific biography, part impassioned plea for a more open, context-sensitive experimental psychology, this is essential reading for all students of memory, mind, and culture.' John Sutton, Macquarie University, Sydney'Wagoner delivers an engaging, insightful, and provocative analysis of Bartlett's life and work. This important book connects historical perspectives with contemporary issues, forcefully reminding us how Bartlett's insights remain crucial today.' Daniel L. Schacter, Harvard University, Massachusetts'… essential reading for scholars of memory, but also is a helpful, quick (and fun) read for all those whose work in some way is impacted by Bartlett's oeuvre.' Grant J. Rich, PsychCRITICS'Brady Wagoner's The Constructive Mind: Bartlett's Psychology in Reconstruction is an impressive scholarly achievement … Wagoner's book is also a provocative and important one, that underscores the way in which academic psychology has appropriated - and misappropriated - significant ideas, in the service of its own ideological ends. … For those who do not know his work, it may be a startling revelation of what psychology might have been had it followed Bartlett's path rather than the decidedly more reductive one it in fact pursued. … it is a significant contribution to the history of the behavioral sciences and a valuable corrective to those too-well-circulated stories that serve to shore up psychology's ill-conceived ambition to cordon off human behavior from the messy stuff of social life.' Mark Freeman, Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences'… the book is a very broad and interesting presentation of Bartlett as a theoretician who combined psychology with anthropology a century ago. The combination of the historical and the presentist aims is successful …' Csaba Pléh, Culture & PsychologyTable of ContentsForeword; Acknowledgments; Introduction; 1.
