Adolescent Rationality and Development Cognition, Morality, and Identity 3rd Edition David Moshman University of Nebraska, Lincoln, USA “This is the sort of book that most if not all students ... should encounter in a text for a course they take on adolescence. Too many of the current texts ... are filled with glitzy material centered around pop culture. … Moshman … is covering material that most other texts do not.” - Deanna Kuhn, Teachers College, Columbia University, USA “A stupendous achievement. … [The book brings] … coherence to cognitive, moral, and identity development during the adolescent years. [The author] stimulates students … to think about the big picture. ... A brilliantly ‘simple’ writing style. … It’s amazing how much [he] covers ... in such a short book. … Your third edition … will be an even greater success.” - John C. Gibbs, The Ohio State University, USA

• Expanded coverage of thinking and reasoning • A new chapter on metacognition and epistemic cognition • Expanded coverage of controversies concerning the foundations of morality • A new chapter on moral principles and perspective taking • A new chapter on the relation of personal and social identity • A new chapter addressing current controversies concerning the rationality, maturity, and brains of adolescents • More detail on key studies and methodologies and boldfaced
key terms and a glossary to highlight and clarify key concepts. Rather than trying to cover everything about adolescence at an elementary level, this book presents and builds on the core issues in the scholarly literature, thus encouraging deeper levels of understanding. The book opens with an introduction to the concepts of adolescence, rationality, and development and then explores the three foundational literatures of adolescent development, cognitive development, moral development, and identity formation. The book concludes with a more general account of rationality and development in adolescence and beyond. Appropriate for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses on adolescence or adolescent development offered by departments of psychology, educational psychology, or human development, this brief text is also an ideal supplement for courses on social and/or moral development, cognitive development, or lifespan development.

“This book emphasizes organizational, institutional, and community-level application of positive psychological principles. The editors are well known in their respective fields, and within the positive psychology movement, and they have a strong group of contributing chapter authors. I feel this book can reach an audience that other books focused on positive psychology do not, namely students and researchers in business, community , public policy, organizational studies, and leadership, in addition to the traditional psychology market.” - Jameson K. Hirsch, Clinical Psychology, East Tennessee State University, USA Positive psychology has experienced extraordinary growth over the past decade. Emerging research in this area is suggesting new strategies for improving everyday life, healthcare, education systems, organizations and work life, and societies across the globe.

Very few people are aware of the significant negative impact that cluttering – a communication disorder that affects a person’s ability to speak in a clear, concise and fluent manner – can have on one’s life educationally, socially and vocationally. Although different from stuttering, it is often related to this more well-known disorder. This book treats cluttering as a serious communication disorder in its own right, providing an in-depth examination of the critical factors surrounding its assessment, treatment and research. Using evidence-based data as well as information regarding the assessment and treatment of cluttering within the field of speech-language pathology, the volume includes the latest research findings and work from leading cluttering experts, worldwide. Current viewpoints regarding cluttering, along with substantiated evidence are provided. Research findings are presented regarding the nature and neurology of cluttering. A range of assessment and treatment methodologies are
described in the context of disorders that may co-occur with cluttering, such as autism spectrum disorders, learning disabilities, Down syndrome and stuttering. Future directions with regards to the definition, teaching and researching of cluttering are also addressed. CONTENTS Editor’s Introduction. Part 1. The Nature and Neurology of Cluttering. P.A.

Critical psychology has emerged as a vibrant site of research and reflection on the assumptions and practices of its host discipline. As serious scholarship flourishes in the area as never before, this new collection from the Routledge Major Works series, Critical Concepts in Psychology, meets the need for an authoritative reference work to map the terrain. In four volumes, Critical Psychology is an accessible database which brings together foundational and the best and most influential cutting-edge materials, including key works produced before the term ‘critical psychology’ gained wide currency but which anticipate approaches now included under that rubric.
professional psychology to study how psychology has recruited academics and professionals who use its ideas and appeal to its theories to back up their own programmes of normalization and pathologization. The work brought together in final volume interrogates the everyday, commonsensical psychology that people use around the world and demonstrates how this provides the basis for the deconstruction of psychology. The research collected here illustrates how individuals can draw upon the variety of different theories about our own different psychologies to interrupt and subvert the dominant stories that are told by many academic and professional psychologists.
The collection is organized thematically. Volume 1 assembles vital research to examine and explore how critical psychology turns the gaze of the psychologist back upon the discipline. The volume includes influential critiques of the limits of dominant models, concepts, and methodological approaches. Volume 2, meanwhile, focuses on the contradictions and spaces for resistance to such dominant assumptions in the discipline. The materials gathered here address the way mainstream psychology is structured, and show how it is possible to turn the incoherence of psychological research into a strength for critical work, bringing out contradictions in order to highlight new readings of phenomena described in different subfields of the discipline. Volume 3 goes beyond academic and
With a detailed and comprehensive introduction and commentary to each volume, Critical Psychology is destined to be welcomed as an essential work of reference and a crucial research tool.

“With contributions from both emerging and established methodological scholars, this innovative, engaging work articulates a view of research less as a linear series of stages than as an unfolding and evolving process. ... This book will be of value to both novice and more well-established investigators who wish to pursue their research endeavors more flexibly, reflectively, and inclusively.” - Bruce L. Berg, Department of Criminal Justice, California State University, Long Beach, USA Social researchers increasingly find themselves looking beyond conventional methods to address complex research questions. This is the first book to comprehensively examine emergent qualitative and quantitative theories and methods across the social and behavioral sciences. Providing scholars and students with a way to retool their research choices, the volume presents cutting-edge approaches to data collection, analysis, and representation. Leading researchers describe alternative uses of traditional quantitative and qualitative tools; innovative hybrid or mixed methods; and new techniques facilitated by technological advances. Consistently formatted chapters explore the strengths and limitations of each method for studying different types of research questions and offer practical, in-depth examples.
This book will be invaluable to researchers and graduate students in a wide range of fields, including sociology, psychology, education, social work, communication, management, anthropology, nursing, and women’s studies.

Handbook of Emotions 3rd Edition Michael Lewis, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, USA; Jeannette M. Haviland-Jones, Rutgers University, USA; Lisa Feldman Barrett, Northeastern University, USA (Eds.) “Comprehensive, cogent, incisive, and authoritative, this volume is truly extraordinary. Its coverage and writing style make it a suitable text for graduate (and even advanced undergraduate) courses in human emotions. No other treatment of emotion touches so broadly and crisply on the major subfields of emotion, including basic, applied, medical, and mental health approaches.” - Joseph J. Campos, University of California, Berkeley, USA, and Cofounder, International Society for Research on Emotions “Emotion links all of psychology, making this handbook essential across the discipline. This ‘who’s who’ and ‘what’s what’ in emotion provides an indispensable foundation for students and scholars.” - Susan T. Fiske, Princeton University, USA

Handbook of Ethics in Quantitative Methodology A.T. Panter, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, USA Sonya K. Sterba, Vanderbilt University, USA (Eds.) Multivariate Applications Series
http://goo.gl/H4RaV
“The book proposed by Drs. Panter and Sterba would provide a unique and much needed addition to our Multivariate Application Series. The topic is highly relevant, particularly in light of questions to Institutional Review Boards and Science Directorates on the quality, value and ethics of quantitative research. The editors are highly respected in the field… The content of the suggested chapters is highly relevant and would provide an informative perspective on this topic. The selected set of contributors are all very prominent scholars in the field of quantitative psychology and would together add a wide array of input on this cogent topic. The book would be useful to students and faculty in courses related to research methods, quantitative psychology, and ethics and research; all of which are regularly taught in graduate psychology programs. The book would also appeal to practitioners, educators and policy makers interested in a clear exposition of ethical issues in quantitative research….I highly recommend that this book be accepted for inclusion in the Multivariate Application Book Series.” -Lisa L. Harlow, University of Rhode Island, Multivariate Applications Series Editor “This book is a very good idea... The proposed chapters are relevant, interesting, and the proposed authors are uniformly excellent...this will be a potentially very important piece of work....The book has the potential to inform statistical and modeling practice – as well as design, measurement, and other features of the research process – both within and outside Quantitative Psychology – and in fact, both within and outside of Psychology. In this sense, the editors have a substantial, difficult, and fairly awesome challenge in developing this volume, and it’s very much to their credit that they are taking on this responsibility....If it includes more attention to teaching issues,
its potential use in the classroom would be enhanced. Mostly, as proposed, it would be bought and read by Quantitative Psychologists. A number of my recommendations are directed toward attempting to reach a broader audience, which this topic and these editors certainly deserve...with broadened scope, it could be potentially marketed to other research arenas, including medical/biological researchers, practicing psychological researchers who aren’t specialists in psychometrics ... and to classrooms throughout the research arena....This book could be one of the most exciting to emerge in our field for many years, and could set the stage for a whole movement of attention toward treatment of ethical issues in Quantitative Psychology....I note that I no longer write book reviews like this one, but I agreed to do so for this one because of my regard for the editors, but especially because of my excitement that such a volume is being planned and developed. I wish the editors and the publisher the best of luck in pushing this project through to successful completion.” -Joe Rodgers, University of Oklahoma, USA This comprehensive handbook is the first to provide a practical, interdisciplinary review of ethical issues as they relate to quantitative methodology, including how to present evidence for reliability and validity, what comprises an adequate tested population, and what constitutes scientific knowledge for eliminating biases. The book uses an ethical framework that emphasizes the human cost of quantitative decision making to help researchers understand the specific implications of their choices. The order of the chapters parallels the chronology of the research process: determining the research design Continued on next page.

and data collection; data analysis; and communicating findings. Each chapter: • Explores the ethics of a particular topic • Identifies prevailing methodological issues • Reviews strategies and approaches for handling such issues and their ethical implications • Provides one or more case examples • Outlines plausible approaches to the issue including best-practice solutions. Part 1 presents ethical frameworks that cross-cut design, analysis, and modeling in the behavioral sciences. Part 2 focuses on ideas for disseminating ethical training in statistics courses. Part 3 considers the ethical aspects of selecting measurement instruments and sample size planning and explores issues related to high stakes testing, the defensibility of experimental vs. quasi-experimental research designs, and ethics in program evaluation. Decision points that shape a researchers’ approach to data analysis are examined in Part 4 – when and why analysts need to account for how the sample was selected, how to evaluate tradeoffs of hypothesis-testing vs. estimation, and how to handle missing data. Ethical issues that arise when using techniques such as factor analysis or multilevel modeling and when making causal inferences are also explored. The book concludes with ethical aspects of reporting meta-analyses, of cross-disciplinary statistical reform, and of the publication process.

Handbook of Police Psychology Jack Kitaeff (Ed.) Applied Psychology Series
“The editor has found the top experts to write the most appropriate chapters. Every practicing police psychologist would buy a book like this. Kitaeff did a fine job of looking at comparable books but none will be able to compete with this book.” - David R. Englert, Behavioral Science, Air Force Office of Special Investigations, USA “I would enthusiastically recommend this book to anyone searching for a state of the art reference volume on police psychology.” - Laurence Miller, PhD, Boca Raton, Florida, USA “Jack Kitaeff has compiled an exceptional book on a critical topic in policing. This handbook is the perfect desk reference for police legal advisors, policy writers and police psychologists who need to create defensible policies or who work with active police officers.” - Jon M. Shane, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, Law and Police Science, New York, USA “This is a fascinating book and should be read by all psychologists involved in working with the police. It illustrates beautifully the important interface between police practice and applied psychology.” - Gisli Gudjonsson, Psychology Department, King’s College London, UK
http://goo.gl/96q90
The Handbook of Police Psychology represents the contributions of over thirty police psychologists, all experts in their field, on the core subject matters of police psychology. Police psychology is broadly defined as the application of psychological principles and methods to law enforcement. This growing area includes topics such as screening and hiring of police officers; conducting screening for special squads (e.g., SWAT); fitness-for-duty evaluations; investigations, hostage negotiations; training and consultation, and stress counseling, among others. The book examines the beginnings of police psychology and early influences on the profession such as experimental investigations of psychological testing on police attitude and performance. Influential figures in the field of police psychology are discussed, including the nation’s first
full-time police psychologist who served on the Los Angeles Police Department, and the first full-time police officer to earn a doctorate in psychology while still in uniform with the New York Police Department.

Handbook of Self-Enhancement and Self-Protection Mark D. Alicke, Ohio University, USA Constantine Sedikides, University of Southampton, UK (Eds.) “How do people go about enhancing their favorable views of themselves? How do they protect themselves against losing face and losing self-esteem? This excellent book provides a rich and thought-provoking survey of research on these questions. The drive to make a good name for oneself and protect it from disparagement underlies a wide range of human strivings, from high achievements to the deepest excesses of interpersonal evil. This book has much to offer anyone interested in human nature.” - Roy F. Baumeister, Francis Eppes Professor of Psychology, Florida State University, USA “A remarkably comprehensive review and analysis of a vibrant area of self-related research. The volume is stunning in its breadth and depth, integrating the rich tradition of theory and research on self-enhancement and self-protection with cutting-edge developments in social neuroscience, social cognition, and interpersonal relations. Equally impressive, the Handbook bridges basic research and real-world applications, addressing clinical, health, and social policy implications. Written in an engaging and accessible style, this is an invaluable resource for students and specialists alike.” - June Price Tangney, University Professor of Psychology, George Mason University, USA
http://goo.gl/XW3lH
This is the first major volume dedicated to the processes by which people exaggerate their virtues, deemphasize their shortcomings, or protect themselves against threatening feedback. Leading investigators present cutting-edge work on the key role of self-enhancing and self-protective motives in social perception, cognition, judgment, and behavior. Compelling topics include the psychological benefits and risks of self-enhancement and self-protection; personality traits and contextual factors that make certain individuals
more likely to hold distorted views of the self; innovative approaches to assessment and measurement; and implications for relationships, achievement, and mental health. The book will be important reading for social and personality psychologists and graduate students; also of interest to developmental and clinical psychologists. It may also serve as a supplemental text in graduate-level courses. Contents M.D. Alicke, C. Sedikides, Introduction.

Illegal Leisure Revisited Changing Patterns of Alcohol and Drug Use in Adolescents and Young Adults Judith Aldridge, University of Manchester, UK; Fiona Measham, Lancaster University, UK; Lisa Williams, University of Manchester, UK Adolescence and Society Series
“This book presents an engaging examination of trends in substance use among youth, providing an important update to the first edition. The authors highlight a number of important and surprising changes in drug perceptions and the relevance of these perceptions for key developmental milestones in adolescence and young adulthood.” - Kelly Arbeau, Lecturer in Psychology, The King’s University College, Canada “The first edition of Illegal Leisure rightly achieved wide acclaim, and much critical discussion, for its close mapping and theorisation of the ‘normalisation’ of illicit drug use in Britain during the 1990s. This second edition continues the story. Illegal Leisure Revisited will be much welcomed by students, researchers and lecturers interested in the most important questions about drug use in contemporary Britain.” - Robert MacDonald, Professor of Sociology, Teesside University, UK February 2011: 5½x8½: 264pp Hb: 978-0-415-49552-3: £47.50 $85.00 Pb: 978-0-415-49553-0: £23.95 $42.50 adolescent-studies-arena.com/9780415495530

This book updates the progress into adulthood of the cohort of fourteen-year-olds who were recruited and tracked until they were eighteen years old. Illegal Leisure (1998) described their adolescent journeys and lifestyles, focusing on their early regular drinking and extensive ‘recreational’ drug use. This new edition revisits these original chapters, providing commentaries around them to discuss current implications of the original publication, plus documenting and discussing the group at twenty-two and twenty-seven years of age. Illegal Leisure Revisited positions the journeys of these
twenty-somethings against the ever-changing backdrop of a consumption-oriented leisure society, the rapid expansion of the British night-time economy and the place of substance use in contemporary social worlds. It presents to the reader the ways in which these young people have moved into the world of work, long-term relationships and parenthood, and the resulting changes in the function and frequency of their drinking and drug-use patterns. Amid dire public health warnings about their favourite intoxicants, and with the growing criminalisation of a widening array of recreational drugs, the book revisits these young people as they continue as archetypal citizens in a risk society. The book is ideal reading for researchers and undergraduate students from a variety of fields, such as developmental and social psychology, sociology, criminology, cultural and health studies. Professionals working in criminal justice, health promotion, drugs education, harm reduction and treatment will also find this book an invaluable resource. Contents 1. History Lessons: Drug Use Trends Amongst Young Britons 1980 – 2010. 2. The North-West Longitudinal Study. 3. Alcohol ‘Our Favourite Drug.’ 4.

Nadia Revisited A Longitudinal Study of an Autistic Savant Lorna Selfe Clinical Practice, NHS, UK “This book is essential reading for anyone striving to understand the beautiful otherness of the autistic mind. Lorna Selfe’s original description of Nadia and her wonderful drawings captivated readers everywhere. This follow-up volume not only updates Nadia’s story, but shows how the study and science of autism and of exceptional talent has developed.” - Francesca Happé, Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience, Institute of Psychiatry, King’s College London, UK “The case of Nadia is unique in the history of autism and in the history of outsider art. Nadia’s exuberantly prolific drawings in early childhood remain a mystery as well as an incredible achievement.

There are few opportunities for a psychologist to have followed an autistic savant across their lifetime over 30 years to see how their condition changes, and readers will be fascinated with this new volume.” - Simon Baron-Cohen, Professor of Developmental Psychopathology and Director of the Autism Research Centre, University of Cambridge, UK
In this book, Lorna Selfe re-examines the case of Nadia, discovered as a child aged six, who had been drawing with phenomenal skill and realism from the age of three, despite having autism and severe learning difficulties. Nadia Revisited updates her story and reconsiders the theories that endeavour to explain her extraordinary talent. The book presents Nadia’s remarkable drawings, and summarises the central issues from the original case study. It explains Nadia’s subsequent development and present situation in light of recent research on autistic spectrum disorders and representational drawing in children. The book also looks at the phenomenon of savant syndrome, and considers the possible links between prodigious talent and underlying neurological dysfunction. The book is especially valuable for students and teachers of developmental psychology and neuropsychology, education and special education, as well as art and art education. Parents of autistic children or those with related disorders will also be interested in the discussions presented here. CONTENTS 1. Introduction. 2. Nadia Then and Now. 3. Nadia’s Drawings. 4.

Neuroscience of Decision Making Oshin Vartanian & David R. Mandel (Eds.) Defence Research and Development, Toronto, Canada Contemporary Topics in Cognitive Neuroscience Series
“Few areas of neuroscience research have progressed so rapidly – and with such diversity of topic and method – as the study of how we make decisions. Vartanian and Mandel have brought together a remarkable collection of leading scientists working at the intersection of decision and cognitive neuroscience. The resulting volume will undoubtedly help shape the next generation of researchers in this exciting field.” - Scott Huettel, Center for Cognitive Neuroscience, Duke University, USA “Work in the neurosciences, not so long ago, had little relevance to theory and research on decision making. The Neuroscience of Decision Making shows how quickly things have changed – and changed for the better. This outstanding volume provides a state of the art summary of work in the field and a blueprint for its future. The diversity of approaches, models, and study species, along with the list of distinguished contributors, makes this must reading for serious students and scholars interested in the mechanisms and processes underlying the sometimes puzzling and sometimes erudite decisions people make everyday.” - John T. Cacioppo, Tiffany and Margaret Blake Distinguished Service Professor, The University of Chicago, USA
http://goo.gl/Ang8v
“This book is a welcome bridge between behavioral and neuroscience research, spanning the fascinating topic of decision making. The editors have chosen wisely, perhaps unsurprising for decision researchers: the core sections are reward and loss, risk and uncertainty, cooperation and trust. The content encompasses classic phenomena, such as framing, but also includes creativity and spontaneous thought, as well as other ‘hot topics’. Despite the technical content, the writing is surprisingly fluid. If you have been sitting on the sidelines waiting for a meaty but accessible book on neuroscience, this book will more than serve your needs. The reader is exposed to a multitude of methods and a variety of
disciplines, all very useful. However, the distinctive feature of this book is its emphasis on theory – explaining judgment and decision making in terms of brain and behavior, rather than merely cataloging areas of brain activation. The authors have accomplished an impressive feat in thoughtfully organizing and interpreting newly emerging research. This is the book to read if you want to understand the neuroscience of decision making.” - Valerie F. Reyna, Co-Director of the Center for Behavioral Economics and Decision Research, Cornell University, USA “This book assembles contributions that break new ground in the neurospychology of decision-making that address fundamental issues such as the role of emotions, dual systems and reward/loss processing in decision-making, as well as new topics such as planning and creativity. Introduced by sophisticated chapters on cognitive and neural architecture and the neuropsychological bases of context effects on choice, the collection comprises a rich and satisfying set of perspectives from neuroscience, psychology and economics.” Denis Hilton, Université de Toulouse-II, France The intersection between the fields of behavioral decision research and neuroscience has proved to be fertile ground for interdisciplinary research. Whereas the former is rich in formalized models of choice, the latter is rife with techniques for testing behavioral models at the brain level. As a result, there has been the rapid emergence of progressively more sophisticated biological models of choice, geared toward the development of ever more complete mechanistic models of behavior. This volume provides a coherent framework for distilling some of the key themes that have emerged as a function of this research program, and highlights what we have learned about judgment and decision making as a result.

that are theoretically relevant to judgment and decision making researchers are addressed, the book also ventures somewhat beyond the traditional boundaries of this area to tackle themes that would of interest to a greater community of scholars. Neuroscience of Decision Making provides contemporary and essential reading for researchers and students of cognitive psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, and economics. Contents

Recently the field of organization studies has been plagued by intense, disruptive controversy about what counts as knowledge. This book, written by the major researchers and voices in the field of organization studies, attempts to respond to this controversy by offering the topic of ‘generative uncertainty’ as the primary vehicle for rethinking about this issue. The authors prefer admitting uncertainty to making unwarranted assumptions. The ideas about questioning the possibility of knowledge that is certain goes back to before the time of Socrates. This unique, historical look at the study of organization studies will be of interest to all students and scholars of this field.

Social Understanding and Social Lives From Toddlerhood through to the Transition to School Claire Hughes Centre for Family Research, Social & Political Sciences Faculty, University of Cambridge, UK Essays in Developmental Psychology Series
“This book is exceptionally clear and thorough, on a topic of much current interest to psychologists. The author has brought together the findings from her project with skill and clarity and considers the current field in a sensible and informed way. I read it with real enthusiasm and interest.” - Judy Dunn, Professor of Developmental Psychology, Institute of Psychiatry, King’s College London UK “This book is a unique tour de force. It skillfully integrates aspects of children’s own cognitive abilities with features of their social environment to explain the individual differences found in children’s theory of mind and the consequences of these differences for their social lives at home and school. It will be an invaluable resource for researchers and professionals in developmental psychology, child health, and education.” - Janet Wilde Astington, Institute of Child Study, University of Toronto, Canada

Over the past thirty years, researchers have documented a remarkable growth in children’s social understanding between toddlerhood and the early school years. However, it is still unclear why some children’s awareness of others’ thoughts and feelings lags so far behind that of their peers. Based on research that spans an extended developmental period, this book examines this question from both social and cognitive perspectives, and investigates the real-life significance of individual differences in theory of mind. After tracing the key age-related changes in the development of theory of mind, this book examines individual differences in relation to both children’s cognitive abilities and their and social experiences. Why might language or executive functions matter for children’s social understanding? And how do children’s linguistic environments and relationships with parents and siblings contribute to their ability to reflect on people’s thoughts and feelings?
The second half of the book reviews the evidence for predictive links between early social understanding and later social behaviour. Using information gathered from classmates, teachers and the children themselves, the author investigates links between individual differences in early social understanding and in the quality of children’s interactions with friends, in their ability to resolve conflict, and in diverse aspects of school adjustment. Drawing on rich observational data gathered in this extended longitudinal study, as well as skills acquired during her early experimental studies of children with autism and a six year collaboration with Professor Judy Dunn, the author integrates both cognitive and social accounts of theory of mind. The book is ideal reading for researchers actively working in the field, graduate and undergraduate students specializing in developmental psychology, educational and health professionals and parents interested in learning about children’s early social development.

The Madness Of Women Myth and Experience Jane Ussher Series: Women and Psychology.
“This book is beautifully written and the arguments powerful and sophisticated, whilst at the same time accessible. The author’s mastery in research and writing are clearly evident. The book is destined to become a ‘classic’ text in feminist psychology. A pleasure to read!” – Michelle Lafrance, Department of Psychology, St. Thomas University, Canada “This book is a compelling, hard-hitting and illuminating analysis of the social cultural, historical and economic forces producing the madness of women. It is a powerful illustration of a long-standing feminist view – that the personal is political.” – Ann Weatherall, School of Psychology, University of Wellington, New Zealand. Why are women more likely to be positioned or diagnosed as mad than men?

• Madness as a reasonable response to objectification and sexual violence • Women’s narratives of resistance This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of psychology, gender studies, sociology, women’s studies, cultural studies, counselling and nursing. CONTENTS 1. The Madness of Women: Myth or Experience? 2. The Daughter of Hysteria: Depression as a “Woman’s Problem”? 3. Labelling Women as Mad: Regulating and Oppressing Women. 4. Woman as Object, not Subject: Madness as Response to Objectification and Sexual Violence. 5. The Construction and Lived Experience of Women’s Distress: Positioning Premenstrual Change as Psychiatric Illness. 6. Women’s Madness: Resistance and Survival.
If madness is a social construction, a gendered label, as many feminist critics would argue, how can we understand and explain women’s prolonged misery and distress? In turn, can we prevent or treat women’s distress, in a non-pathologising women centred way? The Madness of Women addresses these questions through a rigorous exploration of the myths and realities of women’s madness. Drawing on academic and clinical experience, including case studies and in-depth interviews, as well as on the now extensive critical literature in the field of mental health, Jane Ussher presents a critical multifactorial analysis of women’s madness that both addresses the notion that madness is a myth, and yet acknowledges the reality and multiple causes of women’s distress. Topics include: • The genealogy of women’s madness – incarceration of difficult or deviant women • Regulation through treatment • Deconstrucing depression, PMS and borderline personality disorder

The Psychology of Social Conflict and Aggression Joseph P. Forgas, University of New South Wales, Australia; Arie W. Kruglanski, University of Maryland, USA; Kipling D Williams, Purdue University, USA (Eds.) Sydney Symposium in Social Psychology Series
This book provides an up-to-date integration of some of the most recent developments in social psychological research on social conflict and aggression, one of the most perennial and puzzling topics in all of psychology. It offers an informative, scholarly yet readable overview of recent advances in research on the nature, antecedents, management, and consequences of interpersonal and intergroup conflict and aggression. The chapters share a broad integrative orientation, and will argue that human conflict is best understood through the careful analysis of the cognitive, affective, and motivational processes of those involved in conflict situations, supplemented by a broadly-based understanding of the evolutionary, biological, as well as the social and cultural contexts within which social conflict occurs.

The Taxonomy of Metacognition Pina Tarricone Tarricone Educational Consultancy, Australia “This is a high-level and comprehensive study of the conceptual framework and taxonomy of metacognition. It offers a deep and thoughtful analysis of the extensive literature (including philosophical and historical perspectives), draws on a wide-range of disciplines and clarifies some of the terminological and conceptual confusion in an engaging and logical manner.” - Alison Garton, Adjunct Professor of Psychology, Edith Cowan University, Australia “Metacognition means different things to different people. However, there has previously been little overlap between cognitive and educational psychology. This book does an excellent job bridging that gap.” - Bennett L. Schwartz, Professor of Psychology, Florida International University, USA

“This is the most comprehensive and systematic overview of the literature on metacognition and related concepts that I have ever seen. The coverage is simply awesome. I can’t think of any major theorist or topic that has been overlooked. The treatment of diverse topics and theorists, moreover, is consistently fair and accurate, and often insightful. ... It will stand for years, I expect, as an unrivaled overview of the concept of metacognition, and will remain thereafter the definitive record of how psychologists thought about metacognition in the opening decade of the 21st century.” Professor David Moshman, from the Foreword Metacognition is a complex construct which is fundamental to learning. Its complex, fuzzy and multifaceted nature has often led to its colloquial application in research, resulting in studies that fail to identify its theoretical foundation or elements. In response to this, the research community continues to call for a comprehensive understanding of the construct of metacognition. This book is a response to this call for clarity.
Pina Tarricone provides a theoretical study of the construct of metacognition in terms of psychological theory. The first part of the book analyses the relationship between reflection and metacognition, and the second part goes on to analyse the construct of metamemory as the foundation of metacognition. The third and final part of the book analyses the construct of metacognition to present the final conceptual framework of metacognition and the taxonomy of metacognition. This framework builds a picture and a nexus of the construct through visual links to the related concepts that contribute to what is known as metacognition. The Taxonomy of Metacognition provides a comprehensive representation and categorisation of all of the terms, concepts, categories, supercategories, subcategories and elements of metacognition. It clarifies the construct so that researchers and teachers can develop a better understanding of it. This important and broad-ranging contribution can be applied to many related areas, by researchers, psychologists, teachers and any profession interested in psychological learning processes.
