‘‘An important book with a powerful central message. Jim Orford masterfully weaves together wideranging and diverse fields of knowledge hitherto kept seperate. The result is a fascinating exploration of the subtle but strong interconnections between addiction, powerless and power. Once again, Jim Orford breaks new ground.’ ‘This book brings together Jim Orford’s vast knowledge of addiction research and theory and, using the unifying concept of power, it examines the multi-layered nature of how we are, at several levels, disempowered by our involvement with addictive consumptions. From the three case studies at the opening to his examples of communities reclaiming power at the end, his chapters move progressively from the individual, to families, to neighbourhoods and communities and onto the broader societal and industrial contexts that shape addictions in our lives. It is the first book on addiction I have read that thoroughly integrates so many important strands of thinking on this complex topic.’

PETER J. ADAMS, Associate Professor, Centre for Addiction Research, The University of Auckland, New Zealand and author of Fragmented Intimacy: Addiction in a Social World
Information on related journals Inside back cover
Addiction exercises enormous power over all those who are touched by it. This book argues that power and powerlessness have been neglected in addiction studies and that they are a unifying theme that brings together different areas of research from the field including the disempowering nature of addiction; effects on family, community and the workplace; epidemiological and ethnographic work; studies of the legal and illegal supply, and theories of treatment and change. Examples of alcohol, drug and gambling addiction are used to discuss the evidence that addiction is most disempowering where social resources to resist it are weakest; the ways in which the dominant discourses about addictive behaviour encourage the attributing of responsibility for addiction to individuals and divert attention from the powerful who benefit from addiction; and the ways in which the voices of those whose interests are least well served by addiction are silenced.
JIM ORFORD is Emeritus Professor of Clinical and Community Psychology at the
University of Birmingham. Jim is a long-standing researcher and writer in the addiction field. Amongst his fourteen previous books are successful titles on addiction, notably Excessive Appetites: A Psychological View of Addictions (1st edition, 1985; 2nd edition, 2001), as well as others on community psychology, including Community Psychology: Challenges, Controversies and Emerging Consensus (2008). He is one of the UK’s leading addiction researchers and has an international reputation. In 2010 he was awarded the prestigious international E. M. Jellinek Award for his contribution to alcohol and addiction studies.

Child Psychopathology From Infancy to Adolescence Barry H. Schneider University of Ottawa
This undergraduate textbook covers psychopathology from the infant through the adolescent years. Students are led to a rich understanding of the classification, causes, treatment and prevention of psychological disorders in children. The DSM5 and criticisms of it are featured. Case studies and international examples aid student learning. ‘This well-balanced presentation of the empirical science and clinical practice of child psychopathology is much needed. Dr Schneider and colleagues present very readable, seamlessly clear explanations of complex concepts at a sophisticated yet accessible level. The material is very up-to-date, with balanced, sophisticated coverage of fundamental developmental psychopathological processes. The writing is entertainingly precise, the views refreshingly constructive, and basic concepts are presented in a stimulating and readable way.’ Anna Beth Doyle, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Psychology, Concordia University, Montréal

Early Social Interaction A Case Comparison of Developmental Pragmatics and Psychoanalytic Theory Michael A. Forrester University of Kent, Canterbury
Using an in-depth case-study approach this book documents how one child learns how to talk and begins to deal with emotional experience. Through examining web-linked resources readers can evaluate the proposal that learning the skills of conversation and learning what to repress are equally important during the early years. ‘Forrester is to be congratulated for orchestrating a fruitful dialogue between two apparently incompatible voices: the ethnomethodologist and the psychoanalyst. The result is a sparklingly original account of the interplay between what the child does and what the child feels. This is an empirically-based, scholarly tour de force that will fascinate anyone interested in how children develop behaviourally, cognitively and emotionally.’ Charles Antaki, Loughborough University 2014 228 x 152 mm 301pp 11 b/w illus. 1 table 978-1-107-04468-5 Hardback £65.00 / US$99.00 For all formats available, see

Origins of Possession Owning and Sharing in Development Philippe Rochat Emory University, Atlanta
The way in which we acquire and become attached to our possessions reveals both the similarities and differences between humans and other animals as psychological entities. This book discusses the psychology surrounding how humans experience possession, claim ownership, and share from both a developmental and crosscultural perspective. ‘Throughout his work, Philippe Rochat attempts to identify what is uniquely human. In this book he yet again moves one step closer to a truly intellectually satisfying description. Origins of Possession is essential reading for all those of us who are in the profession of working with the human mind, particularly when it is troubled and is at risk of losing its essential qualities of self-awareness and symbolization. It is a highly significant contribution which builds on Rochat’s unparalleled depth of understanding of child development to deliver a view of the nature and experience of possession that transcends development and individual differences – and illuminates both – whilst striking very close to what lies at the core of our experience of ourselves and of others as sentient beings.’ Peter Fonagy, Freud Memorial Professor of Psychoanalysis and Head, Research Department of Clinical, Educational and Health Psychology, University College London 2014 228 x 152 mm 336pp 2 tables 978-1-107-03212-5 Hardback £65.00 / US$99.00 For all formats available, see

Different Faces of Attachment Cultural Variations on a Universal Human Need Edited by Hiltrud Otto Hebrew University of Jerusalem
and Heidi Keller Universität Osnabrück
This groundbreaking reconceptualization of attachment theory brings together leading scholars from psychology, anthropology and related fields to reformulate the theory to fit the cultural realities of our world. It will be of particular interest to scholars and graduate students interested in developmental psychology, developmental anthropology, evolutionary biology and cross-cultural psychology. ‘A much-needed collection of evolutionary, anthropological and psychological accounts of early relationship formation from the majority world which differ from the classical Bowlby–Ainsworth attachment theory. It opens up a new agenda for research regarding early socio-emotional development.’ Cigdem Kagitcibasi, Koç University, Istanbul

Taking reflective thinking as a central analytical concept, the contributors investigate the role of personal reflection in mental activities including the creation of social relationships, the creation of a mental narrative to make sense of events, and metacognition. ‘Renowned authors unite to bridge cognitive psychology and sociocultural psychology, offering us a wealth of research data and theoretical insights.’ Anne-Nelly Perret-Clermont, University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland 2014 228 x 152 mm 352pp 12 tables 978-1-107-02573-8 Hardback £65.00 / US$99.00 For all formats available, see

Developmental psychology / Social psychology The Cambridge Handbook of CulturalHistorical Psychology Edited by Anton Yasnitsky University of Toronto
René van der Veer Universiteit Leiden
and Michel Ferrari University of Toronto
The field of cultural-historical psychology originated in the work of Lev Vygotsky and the Vygotsky Circle in the Soviet Union more than eighty years ago, and has now established a powerful research tradition in Russia and the West. The Cambridge Handbook of Cultural-Historical Psychology is the first volume to systematically present cultural-historical psychology as an integrative/holistic developmental science of mind, brain, and culture. Its main focus is the inseparable unity of the historically evolving human mind, brain, and culture, and the ways to understand it. The contributors are major international experts in the field, and include authors of major works on Lev Vygotsky, direct collaborators and associates of Alexander Luria, and renowned neurologist Oliver Sacks. The handbook will be of interest to students and scholars in the fields of psychology, education, humanities and neuroscience. ‘What a wide-ranging view of the comprehensive subject of mindculture-neurology! It serves a real purpose both pedagogically and in the scholarly sense.’ Jerome Bruner, Professor Emeritus, New York University

The Acquisition of Syntactic Structure Animacy and Thematic Alignment Misha Becker University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
This book explains how children’s early ability to distinguish between animate and inanimate nouns helps them acquire complex sentence structure. The theoretical claims of the book expand the well-known hypotheses of Syntactic and Semantic Bootstrapping, resulting in greater coverage of the core principles of language acquisition. ‘This book is a major milestone for acquisition research in the ‘strict’ sense: what exactly does the adult know, and how do children acquire that knowledge? Becker is conversant with an unusually broad range of disciplines, including generative grammar, developmental psychology, and computational modeling. This enables her to support the book’s central thesis – that children use animacy cues for detecting syntactic displacement – with strong, converging evidence from cross-linguistic comparisons, adult psycholinguistics, Bayesian models, transcripts of child-directed speech, and laboratory experiments with children.’ William Snyder, Linguistics and Cognitive Science, University of Connecticut Cambridge Studies in Linguistics, 141

Constructive Controversy Theory, Research, Practice David W. Johnson University of Minnesota
Using the social psychological theory of ‘constructive controversy’, this book analyses the nature of disagreement among members of decision-making groups. It addresses questions such as: do differences of opinion enhance or obstruct creative thinking? And why do people make decisions based only on their own perspective without considering alternative viewpoints? Advance praise: ‘This book is a must-read for any scholar and practitioner who is interested in constructive controversy. It provides a breathtaking journey in the history of one of the most powerful mechanisms in social interaction, and a wealth of insights on how to foster informed political decisions, accompany accurate professional choices, and elicit diversified learning.’ Fabrizio Butera, University of Lausanne 2015 228 x 152 mm 200pp 6 b/w illus. 5 tables 978-1-107-08981-5 Hardback c. £65.00 / c.

The Holocaust and the Revival of Psychological History Judith M. Hughes University of California, San Diego
Why did men and women in one of the best educated countries in the Western world set out to get rid of Jews? In this book, Judith M. Hughes focuses on how historians’ efforts to grapple anew with matters of actors’ meanings, intentions, and purposes have prompted a return to psychoanalytically informed ways of thinking. ‘Elegant and accessible, Judith Hughes’s sober discussion probes the inner lives of Holocaust perpetrators through the lens of widely read researchers. Her book is a reminder of how varied and challenging have been responses to one of the most unsettling questions of our time: ‘how could they do it?’’ Michael R.

Virtuous Violence Hurting and Killing to Create, Sustain, End, and Honor Social Relationships Alan Page Fiske University of California, Los Angeles
and Tage Shakti Rai Northwestern University, Illinois
Foreword by Steven Pinker
Why do people hurt and kill others, or themselves? This provocative book argues that people mostly commit violence because they feel that it is the morally right thing to do. Virtuous Violence shows how human nature,
culture, and social relationships can generate violence – or nonviolence. ‘With its wealth of eye-opening ethnographic and historical comparisons and its contrarian but well-argued analyses, this book is a fascinating exploration of violence and a major contribution to our understanding of the human condition.’ Steven Pinker 2014 228 x 152 mm 383pp 10 b/w illus. 1 table 978-1-107-08820-7 Hardback £40.00 / US$65.00 978-1-107-45891-8 Paperback £16.99 / US$24.99 For all formats available, see

Creativity and Mental Illness Edited by James C. Kaufman University of Connecticut
Are creative people more likely to be mentally ill? This book re-examines the common view that a high level of individual creativity often correlates with a heightened risk of mental illness. Includes contributions from some of the most exciting voices in the fields of psychology, neuroscience, physics, psychiatry, and management. ‘What a joy to see top scholars seriously engage with this controversial topic. This book dispenses with simplistic myths, and stays grounded in scientific research. The result is a much more complex understanding of the links – and nonlinks – between creativity and mental illness. This book is required reading.’ Keith Sawyer, Morgan Distinguished Professor in Educational Innovations, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill 2014 228 x 152 mm 435pp 5 b/w illus. 4 tables 978-1-107-02169-3 Hardback £70.00 / US$110.00 For all formats available, see

Social psychology understanding of the nature of this emotion and the role it plays in social relations. ‘While the Germanic language is hardly the lingua franca of the modern world, the word ‘schadenfreude’ has become global coinage. This new international collection is a fascinating multidisciplinary exploration of an extremely problematic emotion – the pleasure at another’s suffering – in a wide array of social contexts. It should be essential reading for social psychologists and those working in ethics where concerns of status, envy and justice render schadenfreude a widely felt emotion.’ M. J.

Communal Functions of Social Comparison Edited by Zlatan Križan Iowa State University
and Frederick X. Gibbons University of Connecticut
This volume identifies research relevant to the communal functions of social comparisons. Previous work in the area has concerned ways that people differ from one another, focusing on competition, independence and selfesteem. This book, in contrast, presents an eclectic cross-section of research that illuminates the connective, cooperative and participatory functions of social comparisons. ‘This book is a nice and well-chosen collection of readings on a topic that is long overdue – the implications that social comparisons may have for our relationships with others and for society. It is often assumed that social comparisons are something to be avoided but this book highlights how social life is impossible without social comparisons, and emphasizes that social comparisons may even be beneficial for social relationships and the community.’ Abraham Buunk, Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences and University of Groningen 2014 228 x 152 mm 265pp 3 b/w illus. 2 tables 978-0-521-11949-8 Hardback £60.00 / US$95.00 For all formats available, see

Obstacles to Ethical Decision-Making Mental Models, Milgram and the Problem of Obedience Patricia H. Werhane DePaul University, Chicago

Crina Archer Elaine E. Englehardt Utah Valley State College
and Michael S. Pritchard Western Michigan University
Obedience to an authority is often found to adversely affect individuals’ abilities to make ethical decisions in business. In this work, the authors analyse this claim, and suggest how a development of the ‘moral imagination’ enables decisionmakers to be aware of, and mitigate, the influence of power – and obedience – relationships. ‘The authors do a wonderful job of connecting the problem of obedience to the merging field of behavioral ethics. Their articulation highlights how common aspects about how humans make decisions lead us to be obedient when a more reflective analysis dictates action. Managers and scholars will be prompted to more courageous acts of disobedience after reading this book.’ Max H.

A social representations approach offers an empirical utility for addressing myriad social concerns such as social order, ecological sustainability, national identity, racism, religious communities, the public understanding of science, health and social marketing. The core aspects of social representations theory have been debated over many years and some still remain widely misunderstood. This handbook provides an overview of these core aspects and brings together theoretical strands and developments in the theory, some of which have become pillars in the social sciences in their own right. Academics and students in the social sciences working with concepts and methods such as social identity, discursive psychology, positioning theory, semiotics, attitudes, risk perception and

This book addresses opinion leadership in democratic politics as a process whereby individuals send and receive information through their informally based networks of political communication. ‘This is a landmark book that definitively demonstrates that political opinion formation is critically dependent on informal networks. The combination of experiments and decades of survey data not only makes the book a model of multimethodological rigor, but also allows the authors to isolate the roots of expertise and opinion bias.

Drawing on literatures in political science, psychology, economics, communications, biology, and physiology, this book argues that ‘negativity biases’ should be evident across a wide range of political behaviors.

‘Soroka has produced a masterly analysis of the impact of negativity, beginning with psychology, microeconomics and neuroscience, and then focusing on the field of politics. His tour de force ranges from evaluations of, and voting for, individual politicians, to government approval, media and news impact, and political institutions. In fascinating detail he then shows that all is not lost and draws out some positive consequences of this negativity bias, which may well be an effective way to manage democratic governance.’ Miles Hewstone, University of Oxford Cambridge Studies in Public Opinion and Political Psychology

Quantum Models of Cognition and Decision Jerome R. Busemeyer Indiana University, Bloomington
and Peter D. Bruza Queensland University of Technology
Much of our understanding of human thinking is based on probabilistic models. By using principles drawn from quantum theory to provide the foundations for modeling probabilisticdynamic systems, the authors open a new frontier for modeling cognitive phenomena and human decision making. ‘Mathematical models of cognition so often seem like mere formal exercises. Quantum theory is a rare exception. Without sacrificing formal rigor, it captures deep insights about the workings of the mind with elegant simplicity. This book promises to revolutionize the way we think about thinking.’ Steven Sloman, Brown University, Rhode Island 2014 229 x 152 mm 424pp 54 b/w illus. 20 tables 978-1-107-41988-9 Paperback £24.99 / US$39.99 Also available 978-1-107-01199-1 Hardback £74.99 / US$114.99 For all formats available, see

Extraordinary Beliefs A Historical Approach to a Psychological Problem Peter Lamont University of Edinburgh
Mesmerists, mediums and psychics have long exhibited extraordinary phenomena. In doing so, they have provoked extraordinary beliefs. What has made these feats so convincing? How have people come to the conclusions they have drawn? In this fascinating historical study, Peter Lamont reveals what we continue to believe about extraordinary phenomena. ‘Outstanding clarity, penetrating argument and a series of fascinating examples make this an accessible and profoundly insightful read, whether for academics and their students or the legendary general reader. As well as its obvious relevance to historians and psychologists, it has much to offer to social scientists.’ Barry Barnes, University of Exeter 2013 228 x 152 mm 336pp 978-1-107-01933-1 Hardback £59.99 / US$94.99 978-1-107-68802-5 Paperback £19.99 / US$34.99 For all formats available, see

The Cambridge Handbook of Applied Perception Research covers core areas of research in perception with an emphasis on its application to real-world environments. Topics include multisensory processing of information, time perception, sustained attention, and signal detection, as well as pedagogical issues surrounding the training of applied perception researchers. In addition to familiar topics, such as perceptual learning, the Handbook focuses on emerging areas of importance, such as human-robot coordination, haptic interfaces, and issues facing societies in the twenty-first century (such as terrorism and threat detection, medical errors, the broader implications of automation). Organized into sections representing major areas of theoretical and practical importance for the application of perception psychology to human performance and the design and operation of human-technology interdependence, it also addresses the challenges to basic research, including the problem of quantifying information, defining cognitive resources, and theoretical advances in the nature of attention and perceptual processes.

Understanding Education and Educational Research Paul Smeyers Universiteit Gent, Belgium
and Richard Smith
Social Class and Educational Inequality The Impact of Parents and Schools Iram Siraj Institute of Education, University of London
and Aziza Mayo
University of Durham
University of Applied Sciences, Leiden
Educational research is widely believed to be essentially empirical, consisting of research techniques such as statistics, interviewing, or randomised control trials. This book argues that good research in education needs the rigorous thinking characteristic of philosophy, and that philosophical treatments themselves sometimes constitute such research.
For a society aiming to ‘narrow the gap’ between the educational attainment of children from disadvantaged and more privileged backgrounds, we need to understand how and why certain children manage to succeed against the odds. This book examines the impact of social-class, parenting and education on fifty children sampled from a bigger longitudinal study.
‘Smeyers and Smith have produced a coherent collection of papers that provide a healthy antidote to many of the cliche ridden discourses that are increasingly dominating the theory and practices of educational research – the inappropriate and uncritical aping of scientific method as a vehicle for educational inquiry and the assumption that only this will contribute to rigorous educational inquiry (‘scientism’); the insistence on quantifying the unquantifiable (‘metricophilia’ is the new perversion) and the marginalising of modes of understanding, discernment and appreciation rooted in literature, history, social anthropology and philosophy.’
2014 228 x 152 mm 227pp 4 b/w illus. 978-1-107-00920-2 Hardback £65.00 / US$99.00
‘This book is a stupendous achievement and deserves to be very widely read. The authors’ large-scale longitudinal research into why some children succeed ‘against the odds’ and others do worse than expected given their relatively privileged start in life is already widely known. This book puts ‘flesh’ onto the bones of the data, providing case studies of fifty children (those who succeed and those who don’t from both workingclass and middle-class backgrounds) that exemplify their findings in a truly marvellous way. Equally impressive, Siraj and Mayo illustrate the power and importance of a solid theoretical foundation. They draw on scholars such as Urie Bronfenbrenner to show that the everyday activities and interactions that occur between children and their parents, their teachers, and people in the wider community have profound effects on academic performance from early childhood through adolescence.’

The Cambridge Handbook of the Learning Sciences Second edition Edited by R. Keith Sawyer University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
The interdisciplinary field of the learning sciences encompasses educational psychology, cognitive science, computer science, and anthropology, among other disciplines. The Cambridge Handbook of the Learning Sciences, first published in 2006, is the definitive introduction to this innovative approach to teaching, learning, and educational technology. This dramatically revised second edition incorporates the latest research in the field, includes twenty new chapters on emerging areas of interest, and features contributors who reflect the increasingly international nature of the learning sciences. The authors address the best ways to design educational software, prepare effective teachers, organize classrooms, and use the internet to enhance student learning. They illustrate the importance of creating productive learning environments both inside and
outside school, including after-school clubs, libraries, museums, and online learning environments. Accessible and engaging, the Handbook has proven to be an essential resource for graduate students, researchers, teachers, administrators, consultants, educational technology designers, and policy makers on a global scale. Advance praise: ‘The first edition of this Handbook was outstanding. This second edition is even more inclusive and up to date, with a choice of chapters that nicely complement one another and are written with unusual clarity. I see this as a must-read that will help all of us interested in the learning sciences move toward new levels of synthesis and application, and discover previously hidden pathways toward exciting new research issues. We owe the editor and authors a great debt of thanks for their outstanding work.’ John D. Bransford, Shauna C. Larson Professor of the Learning Sciences at the University of Washington, Emeritus

The Dyslexia Debate Julian G. Elliott University of Durham
and Elena L. Grigorenko Yale University, Connecticut
An examination of how we use the term ‘dyslexia’ and its failings as a clinical diagnosis. Taking into account the latest research in cognitive science, genetics, and neuroscience, Elliott and Grigorenko outline a better way to describe the various types of reading difficulties and discuss empirically supported forms of intervention. ‘This is a thought-provoking book that rigorously examines the scientific evidence and ends up challenging many assumptions about the concept of dyslexia. Elliott and Grigorenko do not wish to deny the reality of children’s reading difficulties, but they do cast doubt on the usefulness and validity of our current diagnostic constructs. Essential reading for anyone interested in neurodevelopmental disorders.’ Dorothy Bishop, University of Oxford Cambridge Studies in Cognitive and Perceptual Development, 14

Mathematics and the Body Material Entanglements in the Classroom Elizabeth de Freitas Adelphi University, Garden City, New York
and Nathalie Sinclair Simon Fraser University, British Columbia
This books presents an ‘inclusive materialist’ approach to studying mathematics education, which offers a fresh perspective on human and nonhuman bodies and their relationship to mathematical concepts. The authors provide empirical examples to challenge current assumptions about the role of the senses, language, and ability in teaching and learning mathematics. ‘This book is a fabulous and timely contribution. It is a much-needed and radical critique of current embodied approaches within mathematics education, arguing that such approaches have, in large part, retained the very splits (inner/outer, individual/social) that they hoped to overcome. The scholarship is excellent and the writing is clear and concise.’ Alf Coles, University of Bristol

What are the effects of mass trauma and genocide, and how does recovery occur? How do responses and recovery processes vary across cultural groups and historical periods? This book examines the effects of genocide and mass violence by scrutinizing the interconnections of personal and social memory, symptoms, and recovery processes. Advance praise: ‘Fascinating, compelling and challenging, Genocide and Mass Violence is terrific for reading and teaching. Trauma is one of the great topics of our age, yet we still do not understand trauma deeply, and its effects are contested and debated. This collection gives us evidence and arguments to help us form our own perspective on mass violence and its long-term consequences.

Foundations of Science-Informed Practice Second edition Andrew C. Page University of Western Australia, Perth
and Werner G. K. Stritzke
Fully updated for DSM-5, with three new chapters, this revised edition covers practical clinical skills with a focus on the scientist-practitioner model. It provides clinical psychology trainees with a practical template for making use of evidence-based science in interviewing, diagnosis, assessment, treatment and case management. Review of previous edition: ‘The authors argue convincingly that clinical psychologists working under modern cost-cutting and risk-averse conditions must demonstrate the efficiency and safety of their work scientifically if they are to survive in the workplace. Those considering, or just embarking on clinical training would do well to read this book, to develop a sense of ‘science’ as an ally and not a foe.’ Caroline Plumb, Journal of Psychosomatic Research 2014 234 x 156 mm 292pp 71 b/w illus. 7 tables 978-1-107-61398-0 Paperback £45.00 / US$70.00 For all formats available, see

Power, Powerlessness and Addiction Jim Orford University of Birmingham
Jim Orford argues that power and powerlessness have been neglected in addiction studies. He covers the disempowering nature of addiction, effects on family and others, social resources and vulnerability, studies of the legal and illegal supply, and theories of treatment and change. ‘This book brings together Jim Orford’s vast knowledge of addiction research and theory and, using the unifying concept of power, it examines the multi-layered nature of how we are, at several levels, disempowered by our involvement with addictive consumptions. From the three case studies at the opening to his examples of communities reclaiming power at the end, his chapters move progressively from the individual, to families, to neighbourhoods and communities and onto the broader societal and industrial contexts that shape addictions in our lives. It is the first book on addiction I have read that thoroughly integrates so many important strands of thinking on this complex topic.’ Peter J.

Edited by Pablo P. L. Tinio and Jeffrey K. Smith University of Otago, New Zealand
The psychology of aesthetics and the arts is dedicated to the study of our experiences of the visual arts, music, literature, film, performances, architecture and design; our experiences of beauty and ugliness; our preferences and dislikes; and our everyday perceptions of things in our world. The Cambridge Handbook of the Psychology of Aesthetics and the Arts is a foundational volume presenting an overview of the key concepts and theories of the discipline where readers can learn about the questions that are being asked and become acquainted with the perspectives and methodologies used to address them. The psychology of aesthetics and the arts is one of the oldest areas of psychology but it is also one of the fastest growing and most exciting areas. This is a comprehensive and authoritative handbook featuring essays from some of the most respected scholars in the field. ‘This book is a significant contribution to furthering our understanding about the importance and value of aesthetics within different art forms and contexts. It has cross-disciplinary appeal and helps to promote both theoretical development and applied research, while opening the study of aesthetics to a broader audience.’ Paul M. Camic, Salomons Centre for Applied Psychology, Canterbury Christ Church University

History of psychology Melancholia The Western Malady Matthew Bell King’s College London
A unique explanation of melancholia, charting its fascinating history and demonstrating how it flourished because of the West’s peculiar fascination with self-consciousness. This book will appeal to readers interested in the cultural history of the West, as well as those with an interest in mental illness. ‘Matthew Bell’s knowledge of Western historical and cultural traditions is farreaching, deep, and employed to great advantage in this compelling book.

The New Handbook of Mathematical Psychology Volume 1: Measurement and Methodology Edited by William H. Batchelder University of California, Irvine
Hans Colonius Carl V. Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg, Germany
Ehtibar Dzhafarov Purdue University, Indiana
Mathematical psychology is a field of studies that started in the 1950s, and central to its success was the publication of a multivolume Handbook of Mathematical Psychology. Since that time the field has grown significantly with new substantive areas and new forms of applied mathematics. The publication of The New Handbook of Mathematical Psychology is designed to bring the field up to the present time. Mathematical psychology includes both psychological theorizing in which mathematics plays a central role and applied mathematics motivated by substantive problems in psychology. Volume 1 presents select mathematical ideas, theories and modeling approaches that form a foundation for many specific models and developments. The volume includes models in specific psychological areas as well as areas of mathematics that have aided in advancing the field. Each chapter is self-contained, requiring only basic mathematics. The intended readership includes behavioral and social scientists, mathematicians, economists and analytic philosophers. Cambridge Handbooks in Psychology
Southern Methodist University, Texas
The oft-experienced memory retrieval glitch commonly referred to as the ‘tip-of-the-tongue state’ is a topic frequently discussed theoretically and empirically. This volume seeks to assemble various works on this state and related phenomena, which stand at the crossroads of cognitive psychology and popular conceptions of mind and memory.

How Sexual Desire Works The Enigmatic Urge Frederick Toates
Evolutionary Psychology An Introduction Third edition Lance Workman
The Open University, Milton Keynes
Sheffield Hallam University
Frederick Toates demonstrates the importance of recent cutting-edge research findings from psychology and neuroscience for understanding the roots of sexual desire and the underlying brain mechanisms. This is a fascinating book with great social relevance to society and its problems with sexuality.
and Will Reader
‘In this fine book Toates gives a lively tour of the psychology behind ‘how sexual desire works’. As a pioneer in motivation theory himself, Toates is an ideal guide into how incentive motivation processes work to produce sexual desires. Beyond psychology, he leads the reader on forays into neuroscience, and includes many excellent quotations as case samples, all to help put the psychology of human sexual desire into better perspective. This is a highly readable and illuminating book.’ Kent Berridge, University of Michigan 2014 228 x 152 mm 500pp 12 b/w illus. 978-1-107-05001-3 Hardback £65.00 / US$99.00

Third edition of the classic undergraduate psychology textbook, entirely updated to combine traditional and cutting-edge research and additional pedagogical features. ‘Workman and Reader is a refreshing book in the growing stack of textbooks in evolutionary psychology. Especially from a theoretical perspective it stands out, because it does not present the field as the closed theoretical system one finds in most classic textbooks on the topic. Rather it presents evolutionary psychology as a multifaceted approach to human behaviour; surveying known empirical research and accepted theories while critically speculating about unknown territory. Consequently, the book covers more territory than usually is the case, venturing into parts of developmental, cognitive and social psychology that most other textbooks evade. Together with its accessible style and presentation, this makes Workman and Reader almost an introduction in psychology from an evolutionary perspective, rather than just an introduction in evolutionary psychology; and that is an admirable feat.’ Jannes Eshuis, Open University of the Netherlands

Highlight
The Neuroscience of Freedom and Creativity Our Predictive Brain Joaquín M. Fuster University of California, Los Angeles
In a fascinating exploration of the question of free will, eminent cognitive neuroscientist, Joaquín Fuster, argues that the liberty or freedom to choose between alternatives is a function of the nervous system, especially the cerebral cortex, in its reciprocal interaction with the environment. Freedom is inseparable from that circular relationship. ‘Joaquín Fuster is a distinguished pioneer in the exploration of the brain’s prefrontal cortex, the regions we depend on for choices and selfcontrol. With subtlety, clarity, and a deep feel for the complexities of living a life, Fuster takes a fresh and insightful look [at] human choice. His ideas are philosophically deep and biologically sensible; they are presented lucidly and with modesty and charm. A masterful accomplishment.’ Patricia Smith Churchland, Professor Emerita, University of California, San Diego

Handbook of Color Psychology Edited by Andrew J. Elliot University of Rochester, New York
Mark Fairchild Rochester Institute of Technology, New York
and Anna Franklin University of Sussex
Color seems to be everywhere and on everything that we see in daily life. Color science has progressed to the point that a great deal is known about the mechanics, evolution and development of color vision; less is known about the relation between color vision and psychology. However, color psychology is a burgeoning, exciting area and it is the emerging theory and research in this area that is comprehensively covered in the Handbook of Color Psychology. The top scholars in the field provide rigorous overviews of work on color categorization, color symbolism and association, color preference, reciprocal relations between color perception and psychological functioning, and variations and deficiencies in color perception. The Handbook seeks to facilitate crossfertilization among researchers, both within and across disciplines and areas of research, and promises to be an essential resource for anyone interested in color psychology in both theoretical and applied areas of study.
