DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY
Radical Pedagogy
Twins in Society
Identity, Generativity, and Social Transformation
Parents, Bodies, Space and Talk
Mark Bracher, Professor of English and Director, Center for Literature and Psychoanalysis, Kent State University, USA
Kate Bacon, Lecturer in Sociology, University of Central Lancashire, UK
‘Bold, sophisticated, and provocative…Mark Bracher argues that teachers who understand the dynamic of identity will not only be able to facilitate deeper learning, they will also be able to position students to become more sensitive to questions of social justice. This is a must read for anyone committed to education, civic engagement, and social change.’- Lynn Worsham, Professor of English, Illinois State University, USA
This book explores what it means to be a twin and to what extent twins can shape or ‘escape’ their identities as twins. It investigates how social expectations about twins shape twins’ lives and how twins utilize their bodies, space and talk to actively display and perform their own identities.
This book argues that longstanding pedagogical aims and practices are ineffective in promoting learning and social change and proposes a new strategy for achieving these ends.

Starting with social problems and experiences to which students can easily relate, the text then leads us from one insight to the next to show how social psychology can transform the world around us.’ - Alex Gillespie, Lecturer in Psychology, University of Stirling, UK ‘I typically respond with great suspicion to textbooks that are a bit ‘outside the square’. But this textbook is different: It embraces mainstream meta-theories in social psychology and puts them up-side-down in a way that respects the intelligence and sensitivities of the average reader. It does it in a way that is likely to appeal and be acceptable to a large audience.’ - Dr Stefania Paolini, Social Psychology lecturer, University of Newcastle, Australia This innovative textbook provides a refreshing, international introduction to the subject and encourages students to consider the potential of social psychology to transform lives. Everyday scenarios highlight the relevance of core topics to a multicultural society and make the key theories and concepts of the discipline come to life. By integrating core social psychology theories and concepts with more critical perspectives, Social Psychology and Everyday Life provides a valuable, broad, coherent and stimulating introduction to the field. The book also situates social psychology within the broader social sciences, and in particular scholarship on media, place, health, justice, indigeneity, immigration, and social change.

As an applied science, social psychology has tremendous potential to provide insight into so many aspects of our social world. Unfortunately, its relevance is not always highlighted in traditional introductory texts. To remedy this problem, Applying Social Psychology takes a different approach, using significant social themes (including work, education, health, sport, conflict, communication, economic life, crime, the environment) to illustrate how multiple perspectives can work together in helping understand the complexities of real life issues.

SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY
Approaches to the Individual The Relationship between Internal and External Conversation Athanasia Chalari, Lecturer in Sociology, University of Manchester, UK
This study sees ‘mediation’ as a way of understanding the relationship between internal and external conversation, which underpins how individuals are connected to society. The relationship between these aspects of conversation is crucial in allowing selves to achieve subjectively-defined ‘balance’ between inner and outer worlds.

Discovering Human Sexuality Simon LeVay, British-born Neuroscientist turned Science Writer and Teacher, USA and Janice Baldwin, Sociologist, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA
Self Efficacy The Exercise of Control Albert Bandura, Stanford University, USA
This alternative version of LeVay and Baldwin’s acclaimed text Human Sexuality is more accessible to students with a limited background in biology, but maintains the evidence-based approach and readability of the original. The language and terminology throughout are more comprehensible, making it suitable for interdisciplinary study.
Renowned psychologist Albert Bandura’s theory is that those with high self-efficacy expectancies (the belief that one can achieve what one sets out to do) are healthier, more effective and generally more successful than those with low self-efficacy expectancies. The author begins with a discussion of theory and method and then examines how belief in one’s abilities affects development, mental functioning and health, with examples from the areas of psychopathology, athletics, business and international issues.

SENSATION AND PERCEPTION • PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTION
Sensation, Perception and Action An Evolutionary Perspective
PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTION
Emotion New Psychosocial Perspectives Edited by Shelley Day Sclater, Freelance Writer, David W. Jones, Principal Lecturer in Psychosocial Studies, Heather Price, Senior Lecturer in Psychological Studies and Candida Yates, Senior Lecturer in Psychosocial Studies, all at University of East London, UK
Johannes M. Zanker, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK
‘I was excited to see a book that included “Action” both in the title and content since this aspect of perception is usually missing...this book will help to complete the picture of perception and action.’ - Richard Wilkie, Lecturer in Perception, Action and Cognition, University of Leeds, UK ‘I thought the logical flow of ideas was one of the best aspects of this textbook. Fundamental concepts are introduced which allow the students to feel confident about the grounding of their knowledge...The book is very readable and keeps one engaged... and I think it will draw students into this area.’ - Professor Alan Johnson, UCL Division of Psychology and Language Sciences, UK With a style that is both detailed and accessible, this new text from Johannes Zanker provides students with a solid understanding of how our sensory and perceptual systems operate, and interact with a dynamic world. It not only explains the scientific mechanisms involved, but discusses the costs and benefits of these mechanisms within an evolutionary, functional framework, to encourage important questions such as: What is a given sensory mechanism needed for? What kind of problem can it solve and what are its limitations? How does the environment determine how senses operate? How does action affect and facilitate perception? This unique, interdisciplinary framework allows students to see perceiving and acting as embedded in particular environments and directs them to think about the functional nature of these systems. The overall effect is an especially readable, authoritative text on sensation, perception and action that really brings this fascinating topic to life.

This book deconstructs the pathologizing category of ‘sadomasochism’ in order to account for the ‘lived realities’ of consensual ‘SM’ play, emphasizing the connection between the corporeal and the political in contemporary consumer cultures. It discusses the homogenization of desire and ownership and use of ‘body’ and ‘sexual ethics’. Contents: Introduction / Deconstructing ‘Normalizing’ Concepts / The ‘Field’: ‘Lived Experiences’ of Consensual ‘SM’ and ‘Subjugated Knowledges’ / ‘Sadomasochism’ - A Social Construction and its Use / Challenging Claims of a Non-violent Modernity / Consensual ‘SM’ as a Spiritual Practice and the Experience of ‘Transcendence’ / Alternative Readings of Consensual ‘SM’ / Bibliography September 2009 Hardback

Contesting Stories of Childhood Sexual Abuse
Aspects of Violence Willem Schinkel, Associate Professor of Sociology, Erasmus University of Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Jo Woodiwiss, Senior Lecturer in Sociology, University of Huddersfield, UK
‘This is a challenging book written from a feminist perspective. Contesting Stories is really about ‘the self’ and how therapeutic discourses shape and limit the ways in which we make sense of our lives - particularly in the context of abuse...a thought-provoking book which must surely be widely read for the challenges to conventional thinking that it embodies.’ - Carol Smart, Professor of Sociology, University of Manchester, UK Located within a burgeoning therapeutic/self-help culture this book explores stories of childhood sexual abuse, ‘recovered memories’ and multiple personalities, and explodes the myths surrounding women who, without memories, redefine themselves as victims. Contents: Introduction / A Story for Our Time / Beyond the Recovered Memory Wars / Choosing a Story: Making Sense/Finding Evidence / Making Contact: Knowledge and the Inner Child / Life with the Inner Child / Problems with the Children / The Contradictory Self / Healing and Growing Up / ‘Compulsory Sexuality’: Sexing the Story of Childhood Sexual Abuse / A Role for the Storytellers / Bibliography August 2009 Hardback

‘A sparkling display of breathtaking erudition and mind-boggling analytical incisiveness.’ - Zygmunt Bauman, Emeritus Professor of Sociology, University of Leeds, UK and University of Warsaw, Poland This book provides a novel approach to the social scientific study of violence. It argues for an ‘extended’ definition of violence in order to avoid subscribing to commonsensical or state propagated definitions of violence, and pays specific attention to ‘autotelic violence’ (violence for the sake of itself), as well as to terrorism.

John M. Heaton, Psychiatrist and Psychotherapist, UK and Lecturer, Regent’s College, UK
In the last fifteen years there has been a change in direction in our understanding of Wittgenstein; the ‘resolute’ reading of him places great emphasis on his therapeutic intent and argues that the aim of Wittgenstein’s thought is to show how language functions. This book argues that this is highly relevant to understanding psychotherapy.

An Introduction to Scientific and Statistical Inference Zoltan Dienes, University of Sussex, UK
‘This is an exceptional overview of the scientific principles that underpin the discipline, and should be welcomed by teacher, researcher and undergraduate psychology student alike.’ - Helen Henshaw, The Psychologist ‘Dienes relates statistical controversies to general issues in the philosophy of science, and in so doing puts common misconceptions right. The book is full of advice that makes the difference between a mediocre and expert researcher.’ - Professor Josef Perner, University of Salzburg, Austria ‘I can thoroughly recommend this book. Dienes makes topics that are often dull interesting, covers positions he does not favour fairly and comprehensively, and describes all the important issues succinctly. In short, a really nice, brief, but comprehensive account of the important issues underlying psychology understanding.’ - Dr. Roland Baddeley, University of Bristol, UK An accessible and illuminating exploration of the conceptual basis of scientific and statistical inference and the practical impact this has on conducting psychological research. The book encourages a critical discussion of the different approaches and looks at some of the most important thinkers and their influence.
