APPLIED PSYCHOLOGY Psychology for Psychologists

APPLIED PSYCHOLOGY

The Research Journey of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Nic Hooper, University of the West of England, UK, Andreas Larsson, Psykolog Andreas Larsson, Sweden 'This book is for you if you are new to ACT and don't want to read a stack of empirical papers, while wanting to be sure that the therapy is scientifically supported. It covers key psychological domains in which ACT outcomes have been evaluated. You may be interested, for example in depression but not anxiety. Both are in here, with many others. These chapters provide a compelling and yet readable account of the benefits of ACT in terms of clinical outcomes. The authors have done the work for you in searching thoroughly through the evidence and contextualising the findings in terms of leading researchers and related issues. All you have to do is to read it.' - Dr. Yvonne Barnes-Holmes PhD, Author of Derived Relational Responding Applications for Learners with Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities In 1986 the first research study investigating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) was published. This book, with a foreword by Steven C. Hayes, describes the research journey that ACT has taken over the past 30 years and suggests, in light of the progress that has already been made, how ACT research should move forward in the coming decades.

COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY Normativity in Perception

COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY

How Creativity Happens in the Brain Arne Dietrich, American University of Beirut, Lebanon "Once again, Arne Dietrich proves that he is one of the brightest thinkers on the planet. With great insight, clarity and humor, How Creativity Happens In The Brain gives us a much needed breakdown of the neuroscientific hows and whys of creativity. This book is fantastic-a must read!" - Steven Kotler, a New York Times bestselling author, award-winning journalist, and cofounder and director of research for the Flow Genome Project "In this brilliantly original book, Arne Dietrich ruthlessly demolishes all the nonsense about "left brains" and "divergent thinking," and sets out a bold new theory of creativity. Written with verve and panache, this is a must read for anyone interested in how brains generate new ideas." - Dylan Evans, author of Risk Intelligence and Placebo: Mind over Matter in Modern Medicine How Creativity Happens In The Brain is about the brain mechanisms of creativity, how a grapefruit-sized heap of meat crackling with electricity manages to be so outrageously creative. It has a sharp focus: to stick exclusively to sound, mechanistic explanations and convey what we can, and cannot, say about how brains give rise to creative ideas. Contents: 1.

CONCEPTUAL AND HISTORICAL ISSUES The Subject of Psychosis: A Lacanian Perspective

NOW IN PAPERBACK

Stijn Vanheule, Ghent University, Belgium "[Vanheule's] clear expository style displays an impressive command of Lacanian theory that will be instructive for anyone who wishes to grasp the difficult logic of Lacan's project. […] The Subject of Psychosis may be the clearest and most rigorous analysis of Lacanian theory in print." – Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association "This text offers an excellent reading of Lacan's development of a theory of the subject of psychosis that should serve as a springboard into the practise of the psychoanalytic clinic today." - Theory and Psychology "The Subject of Psychosis: A Lacanian Perspective is an extraordinarily clear decomposition of Lacan's trajectory from surrealist concerns with representations of madness to literary attempts to signifierise it." – Psychoanalytical Notebooks "An important contribution to Lacanian work in English, Vanheule's text is a much-needed, theoretically clear, lucid, sophisticated and critical understanding of Lacanian theory on psychosis." - Psychoanalysis, Culture and Society The Subject of Psychosis discusses what Jacques Lacan's oeuvre contributes to our understanding of psychosis. Presenting a close reading of original texts, Stijn Vanheule proposes that Lacan's work on psychosis can best be framed in terms of four broad periods. Contents: Acknowledgements * 1. Introduction * PART I: FIRST ERA: THE AGE OF IMAGINARY IDENTIFICATION * 2. Psychosis as a Disorder at the Level of the Imaginary * PART II: SECOND ERA: THE AGE OF THE SIGNIFIER * 3.

Worldmaking: Psychology and the Ideology of Creativity Michael Hanchett Hanson, Teachers College, Columbia University, USA 'To understand the psychology of creativity one needs to understand first the history and social contexts in which the study of creativity originated. Michael Hanchett Hanson's book offers us an invaluable, scholarly reading of creativity as a powerful ideology. As masterfully shown here, this ideology is both intelligible by yesterday's ways of worldmaking and calls for a deep reflection on the role and function of creativity for tomorrow's worldin-the-making.' - Vlad Petre Glăveanu, Associate Professor, Aalborg University, Denmark, Editor, Europe's Journal of Psychology, author of Thinking Through Culture and Creativity: An Integrative Model Michael Hanchett Hanson weaves together the history of the development of the psychological concepts of creativity with social constructivist views of power dynamics and pragmatic insights. He provides an engaging, thought-provoking analysis to interest anyone involved with creativity, from psychologists and educators to artists and philosophers.

EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY Creative Collaboration in Teaching

EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY

Marcelo Giglio, HEP-BEJUNE, Switzerland

The Testing and Learning Revolution

How can teachers facilitate creative collaboration among students in the classroom? This book brings together global research to investigate teaching from the perspective of social-cultural psychology and suggest a range of ideas for promoting musical creativity, collaboration and reflection in the classroom.

The Future of Assessment in Education Edmund W. Gordon, Gordon Commission on the Future of Assessment in Education, USA, Kavitha Rajagopalan, Editorial Associate, USA ’Gordon and Rajagopalan offer a cogent and compelling analysis of educational testing today and tomorrow. They show how over-emphasis on accountability has distorted teaching and learning, how educational goals are changing, and how emergent technologies can enable fundamentally different kinds of assessments to truly support the development of all students to their fullest potential. Once in a great while, a book is written that simply must be read. This is such a book. ‘ Edward Haertel, Jacks Family Professor Emeritus of Education, Graduate School of Education, Stanford University, USA Gordon shows how we can use assessment to support teaching and develop students' competencies. Between 2011 and 2013, Gordon chaired an interdisciplinary commission of scholars and thinkers, who connected transformative research and ideas on learning, teaching, measurement, the nature of tests, intelligence, capability, technology, and policy.

Skott-Myhre, University of West Georgia, USA "Translating complex posthuman philosophical and political ideas into accessible examples of youth work, care and education practice, this substantial edited collection offers not only challenges, but also new methods and concepts for rethinking radical and engaged work with children and young people.

Under the umbrella of critical consumption studies, the book brings together scholars from a range of disciplines whose rigorous research and conceptual insight opens up new avenues for understanding how families and young people, especially those from disadvantaged social groups are forced to negotiate pathways through "austerity times", without losing attachment to the emotional life of objects and items. This is a volume which will be remarkably useful to academics and students alike across the arts, humanities and social sciences.' - Angela McRobbie, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK This collection explores the relationships between the emotional and material, engaging with and developing the debates surrounding the emotional and material labour involved in producing and reproducing domestic and intimate spaces. The contributions examine the geographies and spaces of consumption in international and local-global spheres.

Heng Choon (Oliver) Chan, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong

Discourse and Dynamics Edited by Daniel Ziegler, Justus-Liebig-University Giessen, Germany, Marco Gerster, University of Konstanz, Germany, Steffen Krämer, Brandenburg University of Technology, Germany 'In documenting just how extreme violence has its origins in the expressive, emotive and symbolic this impressive collection decisively moves research forward. Individually the essays interrogate the situational, personal, and shared discursive contexts through which agents arrive at interpretations; read together they hint a synthesis might be just around the corner.' - Philip Smith, Yale University, USA, author of Why War? and Punishment and Culture Framing Excessive Violence explores the dynamics of excessive violence, using a broad range of interdisciplinary case studies. It highlights that excessive violence depends on various contingencies and is not always the outcome of rational decision making. The contributors also analyse the discursive framing of acts of excessive violence.

HEALTH PSYCHOLOGY

Psychiatry and the Business of Madness An Ethical and Epistemological Accounting Bonnie Burstow, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto, Canada "This is a powerfully unsettling book. Burstow expresses outrage about, and level-headed analysis of, the oppressive and alienating practices of psychiatry and holds out hope for emancipation that builds on everyday interactions in a transformed society. It's an outstanding contribution to critical thinking about mental health, and to ethics, law, and social change—a no-holds barred, take-no-prisoners radical history and deconstruction of all modern mental health practices and an ambitious, inspiring 'eutopian' proposal for their reinvention." - David Cohen, Professor and Marjorie Crump Chair in Social Welfare, University of California, Los Angeles, US Based on extensive research, Bonnie Burstow's book is a fundamental critique of psychiatry that examines the foundations of psychiatry, refutes its basic tenets, and traces the workings of the industry through medical research and in-depth interviews.

Ali Haggett, University of Exeter, UK A History of Male Psychological Disorders in Britain, 19451980 is open access under a CC BY license and explores the under-researched history of male mental illness from the mid-twentieth century. It argues that statistics suggesting women have been more vulnerable to depression and anxiety are misleading since they underplay a host of alternative presentations of 'distress' more common in men.

Craig Newnes, Independent Scholar, UK ‘This is a scholarly contribution which exposes, not for the first time but in a way that is accessible and enjoyable and up to date, how psychiatry and psychology works, the material conditions under which it has been formed and the forms of resistance that might be elaborated to combat it.’ - Ian Parker, Leicester University School of Management, UK

Intermarriage and Mixed Parenting, Promoting Mental Health and Wellbeing

A Genealogy of Cutting and Overdosing Chris Millard, Queen Mary, University of London, UK 'Through a focus on Britain between the 1940s to the 1980s, Millard reveals how the self-harm subject was always more than a product of disembodied psychological and psychiatric theory and practice; it was inextricably a constructed part of changing social, political and ideological times. He thus defies the reigning ahistoricity and naturalization of the subject in its historiography, as well as challenges the current historically transcendent neurobiological constructions of self-harm. Acute and committed, this is critical history at its most productive.' – Roger Cooter, Warwick University, UK A History of Self-Harm in Britain is open access under a CC BY license and charts the rise and fall of various self-harming behaviours in twentieth-century Britain. It puts self-cutting and overdosing into historical perspective, linking them to the huge changes that occur in mental and physical healthcare, social work and wider politics.

A Neurophenomenology of Awe and Wonder

Rethinking Interdisciplinarity across the Social Sciences and Neurosciences Felicity Callard, Durham University, UK, Des Fitzgerald, Durham University, UK "Interdisciplinarity, more than a hype and less than a solution, is a landscape with peaks and creeks, highs and lows. Callard and Fitzgerald travel wide and broad, with ethnographic curiosity and conceptual imagination, reflectively entangling in knowledge fields that encompass many perspectives. The result is truly valuable, for every interdisciplinary endeavour." - Professor Andreas Roepstorff, Director, Interacting Minds Centre, Aarhus University, Denmark Rethinking Interdisciplinarity across the Social Sciences and Neurosciences offers a provocative account of interdisciplinary research across the neurosciences, social sciences and humanities. Rooting itself in the authors' own experiences, the book establishes a radical agenda for collaboration across these disciplines. This book is open access under a CC-BY license.

PSYCHOSOCIAL STUDIES Orgasmic Bodies

PSYCHOSOCIAL STUDIES

The Orgasm in Contemporary Western Culture Hannah Frith, University of Brighton, UK 'In Orgasmic Bodies, Hannah Frith makes the alreadycomplicated and treacherous terrain of orgasm even more deliciously complex and nuanced. As a distillation of cultural anxieties, personal pleasures, deep power imbalances, and bodily possibilities, Frith's analysis of orgasm pushes us to understand and evaluate gender relations and erotic thrills such that we as readers shudder with delight and terror in equal measure. This is the social science book on orgasm we have all been waiting for.' - Breanne Fahs, Associate Professor of Women and Gender studies at Arizona State University, USA and author of Performing Sex and The Moral Panics of Sexuality Orgasmic Bodies explores how bodily experiences of orgasm are worked up as present/absent, complicated/straightforward, too slow/too fast, fake or real, in the doing of masculinities and femininities.

Kets de Vries, INSEAD Global Leadership Centre, France "This book made me laugh, it made me feel uncomfortable sometimes, but I learned a lot. It makes the reader think about how much s/he can do - good and bad - to her/himself and to others in family, business and social life. With his free and easy style Kets de Vries lines up the latest findings of human science and gives examples of the highs and lows of real human life reminding us that we are in the driving seat. Seize the opportunity." - Janos Csak, Economist, Sociologist, Chairman, Constellation Energy Institute The four main tenets of life are explored in this unique new book that examines the issues that touch each executive, or for that matter, people in general. Based on his experiences as a psychoanalyst, professor and leadership coach, the author explores how 'Sex, Money, Happiness and Death' affect our work and our lives in general. Contents: Preface * 1. Meditations on Sexual Desire * 2. Meditations on Money * 3. Meditations on Happiness * 4. Meditations on Death * Afterword: The Quest for Authenticity * About the Author * Selected Bibliography
