HIGHLIGHTS THE INVISIBLE GORILLA And Other Ways Our Intuitions Deceive Us By Christopher Chabris, Ph.D. and Daniel Simons, Ph.D.

Page 6

“Too often thinking is depicted in its extremes as the triumph or travesty of intuition. Chabris and Simons present a uniquely nuanced understanding of the power and pitfalls of perception, thought, and memory. This book will delight all who seek depth and insight into the wonder and complexities of cognition.” —Jerome Groopman, M.D., Recanati Professor, Harvard Medical School, and author of How Doctors Think

MINDSET The New Psychology of Success By Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D.

Page 10

“Many professors who have adopted Mindset in their courses tell me that the students enjoy it tremendously, that it provokes excellent class discussions, and that it lends itself to useful and interesting exercises.... They have told me that many of their students gain the courage to pursue their most valued goals, ones they may not have pursued in the past because of the fear of failure.” —Author Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D. on her book Mindset

PSYCHOANALYSIS AT THE MARGINS

Page 22

By Paul E. Stepansky, Ph.D. “With massive documentation across the entire spectrum of physical and mental healing professions, historian Paul Stepansky mounts a provocative thesis that links the fractionation (or pluralism) of psychoanalytic theory and praxis both to the longacknowledged ‘crisis’ within the field and to the growing public disenchantment with psychoanalysis in its intellectual, cultural, and therapeutic aspects. This book is a clarion call for urgent remedial attention and effective coordinated response.” —Robert S. Wallerstein, M.D., former President of the American Psychoanalytic Association and the International Psychoanalytical Association

YOU WERE ALWAYS MOM’S FAVORITE! Sisters in Conversation Throughout Their Lives By Deborah Tannen, Ph.D.

Page 24

“Another reason, I’m told, why students like this book is that I include many examples of myself and my own two sisters. Students appreciate seeing the author of a textbook as a person they can relate to. Even the title evokes immediate recognition because so many have heard or said it.” —Author Deborah Tannen on her new book You Were Always Mom’s Favorite!

CARROTS AND STICKS Unlock the Power of Incentives to Get Things Done

www.ianayres.com

By Ian Ayres

NEW

n Carrot and Sticks, Yale professor of law and economics and New York Times bestselling author Ian Ayres applies the learning of behavioral economics—the fascinating new science of rewards and punishments—to introduce the concept of commitment contracts, and shows how to tailor these contracts to radically increase their effectiveness. Through the compelling case studies of individuals and businesses using such contracts, from the electrical engineer who risked $400 to make himself stop artificially sneezing, to the writer and her friend who pledged to pay each other $5,000 for every cigarette they smoked, Ayres demonstrates how behavioral economics can help supercharge incentives, and what kinds of commitments work for different people. “For about thirty years there has been increasing study of how people try, and sometimes succeed, in managing their own behavior: smoking, eating, procrastinating, drinking, losing their temper, fears and phobias, games, fingernails. . . . The list goes on. Here is an entertaining report on one of the basic techniques of overcoming what the ancient Greeks called ‘weakness of will.’ All can enjoy it; many may discover it therapeutic.” —Thomas C. Schelling, 2005 Nobel Laureate in Economics

A Note from the Author Rob Harrison is one of the most beloved teachers at Yale Law School. He has improved the writing and emotional outlook of generations of our students. He is the kind of guy who unabashedly ends his emails “Love, Rob.” He is staggeringly kind. So it came as a bit of a shock when Rob told me that he had used unforgiving commitment contracts to help students overcome writer’s block. For more than a decade, students have given him checks of up to $10,000, signed and made out to charity, and authorized Rob to mail the checks if they failed to turn in a paper to the course professor by a specified date. To date, his check-holding commitments have never failed. Rob has never had to mail one of these commitment checks. This is a spectacular result—particularly because Rob only offers the contracts to students who are hard-core procrastinators, kids who have already demonstrated a deep psychological inability of putting pen to paper (or nowadays, finger to keyboard). I wrote Carrots and Sticks in part to understand why Rob has been so successful. The idea of incentives and commitments has been around forever. But the simplistic economic idea that you’ll get more of something if you dangle a larger carrot or less of something else if you brandish a larger stick misses a lot of what motivates people. For example, what’s really interesting about Rob’s intervention is the charities that the students chose to potentially fund. For the first five years that Rob provided his check service, the procrastinators made the checks payable to charities that they liked. But about five years ago, a student suggested that making the checks out to charities they didn’t like would be an even more effective incentive. The idea of anti-charities has become a popular option on a commitment company that I founded, www.stickK.com, where people have put more than $3,000,000 at risk to stickK to all kinds of commitments—including getting their school papers in on time. Users who put money at risk can decide who will get any money that is forfeited on their contract. Our 43rd president is a uniter in retirement. Currently the George W. Bush Presidential library is our most popular anti-charity. Carrots and Sticks tells the stories behind dozens of randomized trials testing the wellsprings of human motivations. It exposes students to cutting edge studies in behavioral economics and psychology. The book shows that the new learning in motivation has a lot to say about how best to tailor commitments to make them more effective and virtually free. Students will learn why Zappos offers new employees $2,000 to quit, and how a New Zealand ad exec successfully sold his smoking habit. But this book is not an extended advertisement for stickK or for the value of commitment contracts. It also explores not only how best to pick the right commitment tool, but also when it’s best to keep the tool in the box.

THE MALE BRAIN

www.LouannBrizendine.com

A Breakthrough Understanding of How Men and Boys Think By Louann Brizendine, M.D.

rom the author of the groundbreaking New York Times bestseller The Female Brain, here is the eagerly anticipated follow-up. In The Male Brain, Dr. Brizendine draws upon the latest scientific breakthroughs to show how, through every phase of life, the “male reality” is fundamentally different from the female one. Exploring the latest breakthroughs in male psychology and neurology with her trademark accessibility and candor, she reveals that the male brain:

NEW

• is a lean, mean, problem-solving machine. Faced with a personal problem, a man will use his analytical brain structures, not his emotional ones, to find a solution; • thrives under competition, instinctively plays rough and is obsessed with rank and hierarchy; • has an area for sexual pursuit that is 2.5 times larger than the female brain, consuming him with sexual fantasies about female body parts; • experiences such a massive increase in testosterone at puberty that he perceives others’ faces to be more aggressive.

Following the male brain from infancy to adulthood, Dr. Brizendine ultimately helps us understand what we see and experience as men’s brain-body-behavior. Broadway | HC 978-0-7679-2753-6 | 304pp. $24.99/$29.99 Can. | Exam Copy: $12.50

“It takes an extraordinary woman like Dr. Louann Brizendine to understand the male brain. She brings the latest in state-of-theart science in helping us to understand the most ancient and primal of male passions and desires—and viva le difference! Highly recommended.” —Dean Ornish, author of The Spectrum

Also Available by Louann Brizendine, M.D.

THE FEMALE BRAIN

ith the explosion of new data on the female brain in recent years, Dr. Brizendine distills all of this information in a highly accessible way in order to describe the unique brain-body-behavior of women. This revolutionary book combines two decades of Dr. Brizendine’s own work, reallife stories from her clinical practice, and all of the latest information from the scientific community at large to provide a truly comprehensive look at the way women’s minds work. “Destined to become a classic in the field of gender studies.” —Marilyn Yalom, author of A History of the Breast

A Note from the Author I first learned that medical science had assumed male and female brains were exactly alike when I raised my hand in medical school to ask the professor what the results were in the females in his research and he said, “Oh, we don’t study the females since their menstrual cycle would just mess up the data.” The more I looked into it the more I realized that scientists had assumed male bodies and brains were the average or ‘normal’ human. But I knew this wasn’t true from all my neuroscience courses on other mammals. The story of how the male and female brain develops through the life cycle captures the imagination of students in any number of disciplines, including the sciences, medicine, Women’s studies, psychology, sociology, philosophy, law, bioethics, journalism, and creative writing. I’ve spoken about the male and female brain at schools around the country, where students are constantly transfixed by the story. One aspect I’ve found particularly gratifying to share is what we’ve learned about a man’s brain when he becomes a father, and what this means for the mom, too. In short, when a new baby arrives, a father’s hormones change and he needs time alone—with the baby. New mothers often feel too protective to leave their husbands alone with their baby, but the making of a daddy brain requires not only hormones and paternal brain circuits but also stimulation and alone-time with the infant. Research has shown that fathers act more spontaneously with their baby when the baby’s mom is not in the room. The experience of being a hands-on father also dramatically increases the male’s brain circuits for paternal behavior. When fathers don’t have daily hands-on contact with their baby, their daddy brain circuits get weak and flabby. But fathers who are intimately involved in child care form stronger emotional bonds with their children. Another area of particular interest to psychologists is information we’ve learned about the way boys and girls learn. Boys learn to read and do math with their muscles, more so than girls do, through a process called embodied learning. For example, when boys learn to read the word “run,” messages from their brain are sent to muscles in their legs, helping them associate the word with the feeling in their legs. Understanding this about boys can make all the difference for parents and teachers. As a doctor and college professor, I know the importance of finding books for my students that cover a wide variety of research to help them better understand the underpinnings of human behavior. I believe both my books, The Female Brain and The Male Brain do just that. In fact other professors have told me they’ve used them to tell the the complete story of health, community, family, science, history, relationships and humanity. During the next year, I will be speaking about my books in many cities nationwide. As a regular guest speaker and expert advisor on radio and television, I enjoy speaking across the country and world, and I always come away learning something new. My talks have been called “inspiring, entertaining and making neuroscience come alive,” and you can visit the schedule page of my website at LouannBrizendine.com to see if I’ll be speaking near you. You can also contact me through the site, with any requests or questions. I look forward to hearing from teachers and students and meeting many of you in the future. As a college neurobiology major, I couldn’t have imagined that my patients in the Women’s Mood and Hormone Clinic would lead me to become a writer, or that writing this book would be a twenty-year journey. There’s no telling what effect these stories of my patient’s lives could have on students. I can’t wait to find out.

THE INVISIBLE GORILLA And Other Ways Our Intuitions Deceive Us

www.theinvisiblegorilla.com http://www.theinvisiblegorilla.com/ gorilla_experiment.html

By Christopher Chabris, Ph.D. and Daniel Simons, Ph.D. A New York Times Book Review Editor’s Choice

n The Invisible Gorilla, Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons, creators of one of psychology’s most famous experiments, use remarkable stories and counterintuitive scientific findings to demonstrate an important truth: Our minds don’t work the way we think they do.

NEW

Chabris and Simons combine the work of other researchers with their own findings on attention, perception, memory, and reasoning to reveal how faulty intuitions often influence our decision-making. They reveal the myriad ways that our intuitions can deceive us and go further to explain why we succumb to these everyday illusions and what can be done to inoculate against their effects. In the process, they explain, among other things: • how a police officer could run right past a brutal assault without seeing it; • what criminals have in common with chess masters; • why measles and other childhood diseases are making a comeback.

Ultimately, The Invisible Gorilla provides a radical rethinking about how we think. Crown | HC 978-0-307-45965-7 | 320pp. $27.00/$32.00 Can. | Exam Copy: $13.75

“The illusion of attention is one of the most important, surprising, and least known flaws in human thinking. This lucid book examines it in detail.” —Nassim N. Taleb, author of The Black Swan “If the authors make you second-guess yourself 10 times today, they’ve done their job.” —Psychology Today “A fascinating look at little-known illusions that greatly affect our daily lives . . . Their readable book offers surprising insights into just how clueless we are about how our minds work and how we experience the world ... Bound to have wide popular appeal.” —Kirkus Reviews

About the Authors CHRISTOPHER CHABRIS, Ph.D and DANIEL SIMONS, Ph.D. are cognitive psychologists who have each received accolades for their research on a wide range of topics. Their “Gorillas in Our Midst” study reveals the dark side of our ability to pay attention and has quickly become one of the best-known experiments in all of psychology; it inspired a stage play and was even discussed by characters on C.S.I. Chabris, who received his Ph.D. from Harvard, is a psychology professor at Union College in New York. Simons, who received his Ph.D. from Cornell, is a psychology professor at the University of Illinois. 6

A Note from the Authors More than a decade ago, when we did the experiment that inspired the name of our book, we had no idea that it would become as well known as it has. For us, it was mostly a way for the students in a course we were teaching to work together on a research project on perception and awareness. We created several videos (http://www.theinvisiblegorilla.com/gorilla_experiment.html) that showed two groups of three people passing basketballs around. The students showed one of these videos to subjects and asked them to count how many times the people wearing white passed the ball. While they were focusing their attention on this task, half of the subjects failed to notice a person in a gorilla suit who casually strolled into the scene, thumped her chest at the camera, and walked off the other side. This study was inspired by earlier research by the pioneering cognitive psychologist Ulric Neisser, who showed that people failed to notice when a woman carrying an open umbrella unexpectedly walked through the scene. In his videos, though, the actors were all partially transparent, and this fact enabled people to rationalize their failure to notice the umbrella woman—she was just hard to see. We went one step further and asked whether people could miss a fully visible unexpected event. We thought the answer would be no, so the results shocked us. The gorilla video gradually gained notoriety, eventually earning us an Ig Nobel prize in psychology (awarded for achievements that “first make you laugh, and then make you think”). We started to realize that the video was popular because it gives people a deep and tangible insight into a surprising fact about how their own minds work. Normally, we literally don’t know what we are missing, but the gorilla video shows us that we must be missing a lot. It forces viewers to confront their own cognitive limitations and their assumptions about themselves. Just as people believe, like we did, that unexpected events will capture our attention, they also believe that vivid memories are inherently accurate and that confidence is a good indicator of knowledge and skill. People readily infer cause when they shouldn’t, perceive patterns that don’t exist, and get taken in by claims for quick ways to boost brainpower. We call these mistaken ideas about the mind “everyday illusions.” The striking aspect of these intuitive misbeliefs is that our daily experiences rarely force us to confront them. The Invisible Gorilla couples our own research, and that of others, with entertaining real-world examples and personal stories that we hope will give readers a new way of looking at their own behavior and the world around them. One of the challenges in teaching psychology is that all people are intuitive psychologists, but we don’t realize that our commonsense beliefs about the mind, brain, and behavior are often drastically wrong. When we start an introductory course in psychology or cognition with the gorilla video, it forces our students to confront the fact that their own minds don’t work the way they think. The video instantly shows that psychological science is more than just common sense, and it sets them on a path of trusting experiments over instinct and thinking more critically about accepted beliefs. We have peppered our book with similar examples and experiments that help bring home the often faulty assumptions we make about how the mind works, how we think, remember, decide, and reason. We hope that The Invisible Gorilla will make students more receptive to having their assumptions challenged, and that it will help teachers and students to think differently, in psychology courses and beyond.

THE AGE OF EMPATHY Nature’s Lessons for a Kinder Society

www.emory.edu/LIVING_LINKS/empathy/

By Frans de Waal “An important and timely message about the biological roots of human kindness.” —Desmond Morris, author of The Naked Ape

Now in Paperback

re we our brothers’ keepers? Do we have an instinct for compassion? Or are we, as is often assumed, only on earth to serve our own survival and interests? In this thoughtprovoking book, the acclaimed author of Our Inner Ape examines how empathy comes naturally to a great variety of animals, including humans. By studying social behaviors in animals, such as bonding, the herd instinct, the forming of trusting alliances, expressions of consolation, and conflict resolution, Frans de Waal demonstrates that animals—and humans—are “preprogrammed to reach out.” He has found that chimpanzees care for mates that are wounded by leopards, elephants offer “reassuring rumbles” to youngsters in distress, and dolphins support sick companions near the water’s surface to prevent them from drowning. Humans also demonstrate similar innate sensitivities to faces, bodies, and voices; the species has been designed to feel for one another.

De Waal’s theory runs counter to the assumption that humans are inherently selfish, which can be seen in the fields of politics, law, and finance, and which seems to be evidenced by the current greed-driven stock market collapse. But he cites the public’s outrage at the U.S. government’s lack of empathy in the wake of Hurricane Katrina as a significant shift in perspective—one that helped Barack Obama become elected and ushered in what may well become an Age of Empathy. Through a better understanding of empathy’s survival value in evolution, de Waal suggests, we can work together toward a more just society based on a more generous and accurate view of human nature.

About the Author FRANS DE WAAL is a Dutch-born biologist who lives and works in Atlanta, Georgia. One of the world’s bestknown primatologists, de Waal is C. H. Candler professor of psychology and director of the Living Links Center at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center at Emory University. He has been elected to the National Academy of Sciences and the Royal Dutch Academy of Sciences. In 2007, Time selected him as one of the World’s 100 Most Influential People. 8

A Note from the Author Greed is out, empathy is in. The global financial crisis of 2008, together with the election of a new American president, has produced a seismic shift in society. Many have felt as if they were waking up from a bad dream about a big casino where the people’s money had been gambled away, enriching a happy few without the slightest worry about the rest of us. This nightmare was set in motion a quarter century earlier by Reagan-Thatcher trickle-down economics and the soothing reassurance that markets are wonderful at self-regulation. No one believes this anymore. American politics seems poised for a new epoch that stresses cooperation and social responsibility. The emphasis is on what unites a society, what makes it worth living in, rather than what material wealth we can extract from it. Empathy is the grand theme of our time, as reflected in the speeches of Barack Obama, such as when he told graduates at Northwestern University, in Chicago: “I think we should talk more about our empathy deficit. . . . It’s only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you will realize your true potential.” The message of The Age of Empathy is that human nature offers a giant helping hand in this endeavor. True, biology is usually called upon to justify a society based on selfish principles, but we should never forget that it has also produced the glue that holds communities together. This glue is the same for us as for many other animals. Being in tune with others, coordinating activities, and caring for those in need isn’t restricted to our species. Human empathy has the backing of a long evolutionary history—which is the second meaning of “age” in this book’s title.

Frans de Waal

Praise for The Age of Empathy “A pioneer in primate studies, Frans de Waal sees our better side in chimps, especially our capacity for empathy. In his research, Dr. de Waal has gathered ample evidence that our ability to identify with another’s distress—a catalyst for compassion and charity—has deep roots in the origin of our species. It is a view independently reinforced by recent biomedical studies showing that our brains are built to feel another’s pain.” —Robert Lee Hotz, The Wall Street Journal “De Waal, a renowned primatologist, knows the territory firsthand. He writes clearly and plays fair; he takes on the strongest arguments against him and is quick to acknowledge complexity. His book is popular science as it should be, far superior to the recent spate of “Darwin made me do it” books that purport to explain (or explain away) our behavior.” —Edward Dolnick, Bookforum Addressing the question of whether it is possible to ‘combine a thriving economy with a humane society’ zoologist de Waal answers with a resounding yes. . . . De Waal cites the ‘evolutionary antiquity’ of empathy to argue that ‘society depends on a second invisible hand, one that reaches out to others.’ An appealing celebration of our better nature.” —Kirkus

The New Psychology of Success

To read “Carol Dweck’s Attitude”, from The Chronicle Review (May 9, 2010) go to: http://tiny.cc/1422u

By Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D.

leading expert in motivation and personality psychology, Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D. has discovered in more than twenty years of research that mindset is not a minor personality quirk: it creates one’s whole mental world. In Mindset, she argues that it explains how individuals become optimistic or pessimistic, shaping their goals, their attitude toward work and relationships, and how they raise their kids— ultimately predicting whether or not they will fulfill their potential. She demonstrates that mindset unfolds in childhood and adulthood and drives every aspect of one’s life, from work to sports, from relationships to parenting. She illustrates how creative geniuses in all fields—music, literature, science, sports, business—apply the growth mindset to achieve results. Highly engaging and drawing upon years of research, Mindset breaks new ground as it offers compelling methods to change one’s manner of thinking for a more productive life.

“A good book is one whose advice you believe. A great book is one whose advice you follow. I have found Carol Dweck’s work on mindsets invaluable in my own life, and even life-changing in my attitudes toward the challenges that, over the years, become more demanding rather than less. This is a book that can change your life, as its ideas have changed mine.” —Robert J. Sternberg, IBM Professor of Education and Psychology at Yale University, director of the PACE Center of Yale University, and author of Successful Intelligence “A serious, practical book. Dweck’s overall assertion that rigid thinking benefits no one, least of all yourself, and that a change of mind is always possible, is welcome.” —Publishers Weekly “Highly recommended. . . . This book is an essential read for parents, teachers, coaches, and others who are instrumental in determining a child’s mind-set, and in turn, his or her future success, as well as for those who would like to increase their own feelings of success and fulfillment.” —Library Journal, starred review

A Note from the Author When I was in the 6th grade, my teacher Mrs. Wilson seated us around the room in I.Q. order. Only the highest IQ students were allowed to erase the blackboard or carry the flag in the school assembly. Mrs. Wilson believed that your IQ score embodied not just your inborn intelligence, but your character as well. This was my first and most powerful experience with the fixed mindset—the idea that your traits are fixed and that they define you. I have devoted my life to liberating students from this mindset. Mindset introduces students to a body of research they can use in their lives, especially during this challenging time. Every year I teach freshman, and I am continually struck by what a struggle it is for so many of them, even the most academically prepared. Challenges are coming at them from every direction. If they’re away at school for the first time, they have to learn how to regulate themselves. Many of them have never gone to sleep or woken up without parental intervention. New social challenges await them. And many are confronting academic work that is much harder than anything they’ve done before. My students find the growth mindset—the idea that your qualities can be developed over time—to be critical to their adjustment. They constantly use the growth mindset principles to take on new challenges. Rigorous research shows that it can be very helpful for students to learn about the growth mindset in college. It can positively effect motivation, grade point averages, and self-esteem. In particular, it can help students transcend negative stereotypes, such as women in math or minority students in a variety of subjects, helping them understand that they can acquire these skills through good instruction and sustained effort. Mindset has also played a key role in professional development. Many educational institutions have made it required reading for their administrators and teachers because the book is full of crucial information about how to motivate students. The same thing is happening with athletic organizations, in which, according to coaches, a growth mindset is proving essential for the development of an athlete’s (and a coach’s) potential. Business schools and business organizations are using Mindset to encourage effective leadership and necessary innovation in times of change. Many professors who have adopted Mindset in their courses tell me that the students enjoy it tremendously, that it provokes excellent class discussions, and that it lends itself to useful and interesting exercises. For example, students can write about something they would like to change in themselves and how they would go about it, and keep a journal of their changes. Students can be asked to do something “outrageously” growth mindset (something they might not have otherwise done) toward their goal of change, and they can write about it or share this with their classmates. Professors have told me that many of their students gain the courage to pursue their most valued goals, ones they may not have pursued in the past because of the fear of failure. Almost every day, I get wonderful letters from educators who have assigned Mindset. I hope I will get a letter from you.

AFFECT REGULATION, MENTALIZATION, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SELF By Peter Fonagy, Gyorgy Gergely, Elliot L. Jurist, and Mary Target Winner of the 2003 Gradiva Award

rguing for the importance of attachment and emotionality in the developing human consciousness, four prominent analysts explore and refine the concepts of mentalization and affect regulation. Their bold, energetic, and encouraging vision for psychoanalytic treatment combines elements of developmental psychology, attachment theory, and psychoanalytic technique. Drawing extensively on case studies and recent analytic literature to illustrate their ideas, Fonagy, Gergely, Jurist, and Target offer models of psychotherapy practice that can enable the gradual development of mentalization and affect regulation even in patients with long histories of violence or neglect.

Other Press | TR 978-1-590-51161-9 | 592pp. $39.00/$45.00 Can. | Exam Copy: $19.50

In their book, the authors provide an exhaustive review of psychoanalytic and developmental psychological research, employing an array of detailed and engaging case studies. They then put forth a comprehensive theory for the way in which the abilities to mentalize (make and use mental representations of one’s own and other people’s emotional states) and affect regulation (control one’s own emotions as is appropriate to environment) can determine a person’s successful development. They also discuss the ways in which bad or insufficient parenting can leave children unable to modulate and interpret their own feelings, as well as the feelings of those around them, and consider the implications for personality disorders and general psychological problems of self-confidence, etc. Finally they evaluate the role of psychoanalytic therapy in addressing this problem in patients, by teaching them in later life to develop these cognitive/emotional capabilities. “Stunning in its scope, powerfully reasoned, clinically rich in telling cases, and historically sophisticated.

Book Excerpt from Affect Regulation, Mentalization, and the Development of the Self We apply a philosophy-of-mind approach to our work in order to capture and specify the process by which infants fathom the minds of others and eventually their own minds. The notion that we fathom ourselves through others has its source in German Idealism and has been articulated further by analytic philosophers of mind. The use of philosophy of mind in this way is common in the field of social cognition. What differentiates our approach is the attention we give not just to cognition, but to affects as well. In this regard, we rely on attachment theory, which provides empirical support for the notion that an infant’s sense of self emerges from the affective quality of relationship with the primary caregiver. Indeed, our work does not just borrow from attachment theory, but offers a significant reformulation of it. We shall argue that attachment is not an end in itself; rather, it exists in order to produce a representational system that has evolved, we may presume, to aid human survival. Another way to think about the contribution of this book, therefore, is as an effort to resolve some of the historical tensions between psychoanalysis and attachment theory. Let us say a little more about the main theme of this work and its relation to the trio of terms found in our title. Our main focus throughout is on the development of representations of psychological states in the minds of infants, children, adolescents, and adults. Mentalization—a concept that is familiar in developmental circles—is the process by which we realize that having a mind mediates our experience of the world. Mentalization is intrinsically linked to the development of the self, to its gradually elaborated inner organization, and to its participation in human society, a network of human relationships with other beings who share this unique capacity. We have used the term “reflective function” to refer to our operationalization of the mental capacities that generate mentalization. Mentalization is intimately related to the development of both the agentive and the representational aspects of the self: both the “I” and the “Me” described by W. James. A great deal of attention has been paid to the development of self-representation, James’s “Me” or the “empirical self,’ which encompasses the development of the set of characteristics that we believe to be true of ourselves even if this knowledge is inferred from the reactions to us from our social environment. Thus, this aspect of mentalization is a concept with a rich history in both psychoanalytic theory and cognitive psychology. However, the self as a mental agent—or, as we have referred to it elsewhere, the psychological self—is a relatively neglected subject of study. The relative neglect by psychologists and psychoanalysts of the developmental processes that underpin the agentive self may be seen as a residue of the traditionally powerful Cartesian doctrine of first-person authority that claims direct and infallible introspective access to intentional mind states, rather than seeing this access as a hard-won developmental acquisition.

KEEPER One House, Three Generations, and a Journey into Alzheimer’s By Andrea Gillies Winner, Wellcome Trust Book Prize

NEW

Broadway | HC 978-0-307-71911-9 | 336pp. $25.00/NCR | Exam Copy: $12.50

ndrea Gillies moved with her husband and children to a spacious Victorian house in remote northern Scotland in order to allow Chris’s parents to move in with them and be cared for by Andrea, who works at home. It was his mother Nancy, who suffered from Alzheimer’s Disease, who needed a full-time caretaker. Over the next two years Andrea experienced frustration, rage, isolation, exhaustion, and occasional moments of hope and humor, but was left with a deepening sense of Nancy’s inescapable misery. Alzheimer’s most pernicious quality, as Gillies’s narrative vividly illustrates, is that it robs the person of her fundamental essence. The loss of memory is, in effect, the loss of one’s very self. Keeper is an engrossing memoir and meditation on memory and the mind, on family, and on a society that is largely indifferent to the farreaching ravages of this baffling disease. “Gillies writes with a novelist’s eye for detail, and her unflinching rendering of Nancy’s excruciating loss of self is skillfully and tenderly drawn. As well, Gillies has delved vigorously into the research, offering the received wisdom on Alzheimer’s, which dictates that acceptance and distraction are the most helpful methods to deal with sufferers. . . . Moreover, her memoir is an invaluable resource on the stages of Alzheimer’s, history, drugs, brain function, care giving options, even literary works.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review “Andrea Gillies’ account of living with Alzheimer’s is the perfect fusion of narrative with enough memorable science not to choke you. It’s a fantastic book—down to earth and darkly comic in places.” —The Psychologist “With an economy of expression, an eye for detail and a storyteller’s knack for dialogue, Gillies charts Nancy’s terrible course from doddering to vicious and her own decline into caregiver dementia . . . An unvarnished cautionary tale.” —Kirkus, starred review

About the Author ANDREA GILLIES is a newspaper columnist in the United Kingdom. Keeper, her first book, has been praised in the British press for its “accessible literary style and its balanced elucidation of both the science of Alzheimer’s Disease and the toll it takes on sufferers and carers alike.” The Times Literary Supplement called it “a relevant and important book . . . required reading for carers caught up in the tidal wave of dementia coming our way.” 14

A Note from the Author

When I was a carer of someone with Alzheimer’s disease, my mother-in-law Nancy, I thought the fact that I’m a natural consumer of printed word, a gobbler of books and print information, would help me with my new role. I went out looking for guidance. Perhaps it was bad luck, but the books that I found in my local bookshop were of the kind that reassure a carer that all will be well with the right approach: that, in effect, the happiness or otherwise of the person with dementia is down to the right kind of handling. I’ve learned that this is nonsense. Dementias are unlike any other kind of disease in being diseases of Selfhood. The physical progress of Alzheimer’s through the brain, robbing a person first of memory and then of the autobiographical basis of identity, is to blame for the unhappiness that Alzheimer’s brings. It’s often thought that memory is a vault, an archive that we can visit, but the truth is that it’s a process, an orchestral process fuelled by millions of co-operative neurons working together. ‘Self,’, the experience of self, self-knowledge, is likewise a process and not something fixed. It is constantly being made and remade—and so it can be unmade. Consciousness isn’t just about doing and knowing, but knowing that we’ve done and have known. Keeper is a unique kind of dementia memoir, in interweaving the story of Nancy’s decline, (tracking that steady and shocking decline with anecdotes, with vivid records of conversations between the two of us as Nancy becomes more ill), with a wideranging exploration of what Alzheimer’s is, and what it means for us as humans. Dementia is a ticking time-bomb in our society. A tsunami of dementia is coming our way. There are about 35 million people with one of the 100 or so kinds of dementia, across the world. By 2030 there will be around 65 million. By 2050, the numbers are forecasted to be in the region of 115 million. Where will it end? More importantly, how will it end? In the USA in 2008, $5.6 billion was spent on cancer research, and only $0.4 billion on dementia science. Pronouncements about medical advances in identifying and treating dementia—even preventing its onset—are almost daily events in the media, but the truth is that nobody really knows for sure what it is, or where it comes from, or how we can fight it. In the meantime, what’s needed is greater understanding of the devastation that dementia can wreak on sufferers and the families of sufferers. I hope you find Keeper a stimulating and thought-provoking read, and a very meaningful one to share with your students.

NEW

n their compelling book the Heath brothers put a spotlight on the difficulties involved in bringing about genuine, lasting change—in ourselves and in others—especially with few resources and no title or authority. Combining psychology, sociology, management, and case studies from a host of different fields, the authors tell countless stories of people and organizations successfully creating significant change, from the graduate who transformed the diets and nutrition of poor families in rural Vietnam—using what the authors call finding Bright Spots—to breaking bigger goals down into more manageable steps—what the authors call Small Steps. “Witty and instructive . . . The Heath brothers think that the sciences of human behavior can provide us with tools for making changes in our lives—tools that are more effective than ‘willpower,’ ‘leadership’ and other easier-said-than-done solutions. . . . For any effort at change to succeed, the Heaths argue, you have to ‘shape the path.’ With Switch they have shaped a path that leads in a most promising direction.” —The Wall Street Journal

Book Excerpt from Switch

This is a book to help you change things when change is hard. We’ll consider change at every level—individual, organizational, and societal. Maybe you want to help your brother beat his gambling addiction. Maybe you need your team at work to act more frugally because of market conditions. Maybe you wish more of your neighbors would bike to work. Usually these topics are treated separately—there is “change management” advice for executives and “self-help advice” for individuals and “change the world” advice for activists. That’s a shame, because all change efforts have something in common: For anything to change, someone has to start acting differently. Your brother has got to stay out of the casino; your employees have got to start booking coach fares. Ultimately, all change efforts boil down to the same mission: Can you get people to start behaving in a new way? We know what you’re thinking—people resist change. But it’s not quite that easy. Babies are born every day to parents who, inexplicably, welcomed the change. Think about the sheer magnitude of that change! Such an idea would never fly in the work world: Would anyone agree to work for a boss who’d wake you up twice a night, screaming, for trivial administrative duties? And what if, every time you wore a new piece of clothing, the boss spit up on it? Yet people don’t resist this massive change— they volunteer for it. Enormous changes are all around us, and they often come voluntarily—not just babies, but marriages and new homes and new technologies and new job duties. Meanwhile, other behaviors are maddeningly intractable. Smokers keep smoking and kids grow fatter and your husband can’t ever seem to get his dirty shirts into a hamper. So there are hard changes and easy changes. What distinguishes one from the other? In this book, we’ll argue that successful changes share a common pattern—they require the leader of the change to do three things at once. We’ve already seen the first of those three things: To change someone’s behavior, you’ve got to change their situation. The situation isn’t the whole game, of course. An alcoholic might go dry in rehab, but what happens when they leave? Your sales reps might be hyper-productive when the sales manager shadows them, but what happens afterward? For someone’s behavior to change, you’ve got to influence not just their environment but their hearts and minds. The trick is this: Often the heart and mind disagree. Fervently.

COUNTERCLOCKWISE Mindful Health and the Power of Possibility

http://www.ellenlanger.com

By Ellen J. Langer, Ph.D.

f we could turn back the clock psychologically, could we also turn it back physically? For more than thirty years, awardwinning social psychologist Ellen Langer has studied this provocative question, and now, in Counterclockwise, she presents the answer: Opening our minds to what’s possible, instead of presuming impossibility, can lead to better health–at any age.

Drawing on landmark work in the field and her own body of colorful and highly original experiments—including the first detailed discussion of her “counterclockwise” study, in which elderly men lived for a week as though it was 1959 and showed dramatic improvements in their hearing, memory, dexterity, appetite, and general well-being—Langer shows that the magic of rejuvenation and ongoing good health lies in being aware of the ways we mindlessly react to social and cultural cues. Examining the hidden decisions and vocabulary that shape the medical world (“chronic” versus “acute,” “cure” versus “remission”), the powerful physical effects of placebos, and the intricate but often defeatist ways we define our physical health, Langer challenges the idea that the limits we assume and impose on ourselves are real. With only subtle shifts in our thinking, in our language, and in our expectations, she tells us, we can begin to change the ingrained behaviors that sap health, optimism, and vitality from our lives. Immensely readable and riveting, Counterclockwise offers a transformative and bold new paradigm: the psychology of possibility. A hopeful and groundbreaking book by an author who has changed how people all over the world think and feel, Counterclockwise is sure to join Mindfulness as a standard source on new-century science and healing. “Ellen Langer offers us brilliant insights into subtleties that hold us back in life, and shows the way to shining new possibilities. Counterclockwise will change the way you see and think.” — Daniel Goleman, Ph.D., author of Emotional Intelligence

About the Author ELLEN J. LANGER, Ph.D. is a professor in the Psychology Department at Harvard University. She is also the recipient of, among other numerous awards and honors, a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Award for Distinguished Contributions to Psychology in the Public Interest from the American Psychological Association, the Award for Distinguished Contributions of Basic Science to the Application of Psychology from the American Association of Applied and Preventive Psychology, and the Adult Development and Aging Distinguished Research Achievement Award from the American Psychological Association. Langer’s trailblazing experiments in social psychology have earned her inclusion in The New York Times Magazine’s “Year in Ideas” issue and will soon be the subject of a major motion picture. 18

Book Excerpt from Counterclockwise What we need is not the will to believe, but the wish to find out. —William Wordsworth There’s no way to turn back the clock or to fight the inevitable. We age and the vigor of youth becomes only a memory as we are ravaged by time. Chronic illnesses take their toll, our health and strength diminish accordingly, and the best we can do is graciously accept our fate. Once sickness is upon us, we give ourselves over to modern medicine and hope for the best. We can’t intervene as time marches on. Or can we? In the 1970s my colleague Judith Rodin and I conducted an experiment with nursing home residents. We encouraged one group of participants to find ways to make more decisions for themselves. For example, they were allowed to choose where to receive visitors, and if and when to watch the movies that were shown at the home. Each also chose a houseplant to care for, and they were to decide where to place the plant in their room, as well as when and how much to water it. Our intent was to make the nursing home residents more mindful, to help them engage with the world and live their lives more fully. A second, control group received no such instructions to make their own decisions; they were given houseplants but told that the nursing staff would care for them. A year and a half later, we found that members of the first group were more cheerful, active, and alert, based on a variety of tests we had administered both before and after the experiment. Allowing for the fact that they were all elderly and quite frail at the start, we were pleased that they were also much healthier: we were surprised, however, that less than half as many of the more engaged group had died than had those in the control group. Over the next several years, I spent a lot of time thinking about what had happened. Our explanation was that the results were due to the power of making choices and the increased personal control it affords. Although we couldn’t make an airtight case, subsequent research would bear out our original understanding. Our research had taken place at the beginning of what was later termed the “New Age” movement and well before mind/body studies were conducted in laboratories around the country. It raised a nagging question: “What is the nature of the link from the nonmaterial mind to the material body?” Examples of this connection are all around us. We see a rat and show signs of fear as our pulse races and sweat breaks out on our skin; we think about losing a significant other and our blood pressure increases; we watch someone vomit and we feel nauseous ourselves. While we easily see evidence of the connection, it’s not well understood. Even we had been surprised: it seemed odd that simply asking people to make choices would result in the powerful consequences that our study showed. Subsequently, I realized that making choices results in mindfulness, and perhaps our surprise was because of the mindlessness we shared with most of the culture. I began to realize that ideas about mind/body dualism were just that, ideas, and a different, nondualist view of the mind and the body could be more useful. If we put the mind and the body back together so that we are just one person again, then wherever we put the mind, we would also put the body. If the mind is in a truly healthy place, the body would be as well— and so we could change our physical health by changing our minds.

By Daniel J. Siegel, M.D. Selected for Common Reading at Lesley University

Paperback forthcoming December 2010

“Mindsight is the ability for the human mind to see itself. It is a powerful lens through which we can understand our inner lives with more clarity, transform the brain, and enhance our relationships with others.” —Dr. Daniel J. Siegel

arvard-trained physician Dr. Siegel is one of the revolutionary global innovators in the integration of brain science into the practice of psychotherapy. Using case histories from his practice, he shows how, by following the proper steps, nearly everyone can learn how to focus their attention on the internal world of the mind in a way that will literally change the wiring and architecture of their brain. Through his synthesis of a broad range of scientific research with applications to everyday life, Dr. Siegel has developed novel approaches that have helped hundreds of patients heal themselves from painful events in the past and liberate themselves from obstacles blocking their happiness in the present.

“Dr. Siegel helps the reader understand how we can change our dysfunctional habits of mind and become more flexible, adaptive, coherent, energized, and stable. He helps us see that we can rewire our own brains and become truly integrated, through personal understanding and, most important, through meaningful relationships with others.” —Eugene Beresin, M.D., professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School “In this brilliant and highly readable book, Dan Siegel combines his prodigious knowledge of brain science, clinical psychology and mindfulness with his immense capacity for original thinking to develop a new and useful concept—mindsight. An intrepid navigator of the vast sea inside us all, he maps the territory and offers amazing insights into how to benefit from the journey. His work will forever change the way we understand ourselves and our relationships.” —Dr. Mary Pipher, author of Reviving Ophelia and Seeking Peace

Book Excerpt from Mindsight Chapter One A Broken Brain, a Lost Soul The Triangle of Well-Being Barbara’s family might never have come for therapy if seven-year-old Leanne hadn’t stopped talking in school. Leanne was Barbara’s middle child, between Amy, who was fourteen, and Tommy, who was three. They had all taken it hard when their mother was in a near-fatal car accident. But it wasn’t until Barbara returned home from the hospital and rehabilitation center that Leanne became “selectively mute.” Now she refused to speak with anyone outside the family—including me. In our first weekly therapy sessions, we spent our time in silence, playing some games, doing pantomimes with puppets, drawing, and just being together. Leanne wore her dark hair in a single jumbled ponytail, and her sad brown eyes would quickly dart away whenever I looked directly at her. Our sessions felt stuck, her sadness unchanging, the games we played repetitive. But then one day when we were playing catch, the ball rolled to the side of the couch and Leanne discovered my video player and screen. She said nothing, but the sudden alertness of her expression told me her mind had clicked on to something. The following week Leanne brought in a videotape, walked over to the video machine, and put it into the slot. I turned on the player and her smile lit up the room as we watched her mother gently lift a younger Leanne up into the air, again and again, and then pull her into a huge, enfolding hug, the two of them shaking with laughter from head to toe. Leanne’s father, Ben, had captured on film the dance of communication between parent and child that is the hallmark of love: We connect with each other through a give-and-take of signals that link us from the inside out. This is the joy-filled way in which we come to share each other’s minds. Next the pair swirled around on the lawn, kicking the brilliant yellow and burnt-orange leaves of autumn. The mother-daughter duet approached the camera, pursed lips blowing kisses into the lens, and then burst out in laughter. Five-year-old Leanne shouted, “Happy birthday, Daddy!” at the top of her lungs, and you could see the camera shake as her father laughed along with the ladies in his life. In the background Leanne’s baby brother, Tommy, was napping in his stroller, snuggled under a blanket and surrounded by plush toys. Leanne’s older sister, Amy, was off to the side engrossed in a book. “That’s how my mom used to be when we lived in Boston,” Leanne said suddenly, the smile dropping from her face. It was the first time she had spoken directly to me, but it felt more like I was overhearing her talk to herself. Why had Leanne stopped talking? It had been two years since that birthday celebration, eighteen months since the family moved to Los Angeles, and twelve months since Barbara suffered a severe brain injury in her accident—a head-on collision. Barbara had not been wearing her seat belt that evening as she drove their old Mustang to the local store to get some milk for the kids. When the drunk driver plowed into her, her forehead was forced into the steering wheel. She had been in a coma for weeks following the accident.

PSYCHOANALYSIS AT THE MARGINS

http://paulstepansky.com

By Paul E. Stepansky, Ph.D.

hy has American psychoanalysis been relegated to the margins of American mental health care? In this masterful summing up of three decades of experience as a psychoanalytic editor and publisher, Paul Stepansky tells the story of a once cohesive discipline that has splintered into rivalrous “part-fields” and now struggles to survive in a postanalytic world of cognitive-behavioral interventions, brief therapy, psychopharmacology, and managed care. Simultaneously, it is a cautionary tale of the inevitable marginalization of any profession that resists integration into the scientific mainstream of its time and place. Beyond its self-evident importance to psychoanalysts and other proponents of “talking” therapy, Psychoanalysis at the Margins provides an in-depth case study of the role of books, journals, and publishing in the rise and fall of a historically insular profession. For Stepansky, the near-demise of psychoanalytic publishing in America is a microcosm of the crisis of small scholarly and professional publishing in an era that has witnessed the ascendancy of internet chat groups, online seminars, Amazon.com, and electronic journal subscriptions. Other Press Professional | HC 978-1-5905-1340-8 | 384pp. $39.00/$47.00 Can. | Exam Copy: $19.50

Positioning present-day psychoanalysis as an alternative healing modality, Stepansky explores the initiatives that have enabled other alternative professions to survive and even thrive in the face of mainstream opposition. Is it possible, he asks, that the lessons of alternative medicine can guide psychoanalysis to an “optimal marginality” that draws the mainstream to it? Pursuing pathways to this goal, Stepansky enjoins analysts to undertake a host of initiatives in the public interest that bring analytic knowledge to bear in those contexts where it can do the most good. “Stepansky has produced a carefully researched, cogently argued, clearly written, magnificent book with a great many original ideas. It is a work that everyone interested in psychoanalysis—therapists, patients and laymen alike— should read. As his many telling arguments are absorbed, psychoanalysis should never be the same. The book, in my view, is destined to become a classic. —Louis Breger, Ph.D., American Imago

About the Author PAUL E. STEPANSKY, Ph.D., was managing director of The Analytic Press from 1984–2006. He has been personal editor to Heinz Kohut, Margaret Mahler, and other psychoanalytic luminaries past and present, and now gives workshops and seminars on clinical writing and writing for publication. A Yale-trained historian of ideas, Stepansky explores topics in the history of psychiatry and psychoanalysis and is especially interested in the interface of psychiatry and medicine in America. 22

A Note from the Author Who among us hasn’t been intrigued and fascinated by Freud and psychoanalysis? I certainly have. I began reading Freud when I was a teenager, studied Freud in college and graduate school, where I specialized in the history of psychoanalysis, and ended up running a small publishing company that specialized in psychoanalytic books and journals. And that’s where my troubles with the field began. For I soon learned there really isn’t a single discipline called “psychoanalysis” but rather a pot pourri of different “schools” of psychoanalysis. And the members of these different schools didn’t act like members of a single profession. They spent a great deal of time and energy warring among themselves, belittling the theories and techniques of colleagues who espoused different viewpoints, sometimes declaring that these colleagues were not psychoanalysts at all. Publishing the books and articles of these highly trained, caring, but combative people landed me in the middle of many disputes about different theories and treatment approaches. Sometimes, sadly, the disputes were personal. Often I felt like the manager of a sports team composed only of star players from different countries, each of whom learned to play a different version of the game and refused to cede the merit of any one else’s version. Indeed, my players were hard-pressed to admit they all played the same sport. I think Psychoanalysis at the Margins will be a revelatory experience for undergraduate and graduate students because it is a book about the soft underbelly of a discipline that never realized its promise to become a science of mind. Part of my story has to do with publishing. I know of no other book that charts the rise and fall of a discipline by examining its publications (and how well they sold) over a 60-year period. The book also introduces students to the politics of academic publishing—with how the publishing of ostensibly scholarly books and journals is an all-too-human affair, fraught with rivalries, conflicts, and personal animosities. Of course, I was not only a publisher but also a historian of the field in which I published. So I have sought to place my experience in a broader context by explaining how other mental health professions, such as psychology and psychiatry, have been absorbed into what Thomas Kuhn famously termed “normal science,” whereas psychoanalysis has resisted becoming part of the mainstream for virtually all of its history. The irony, of course, is that Freud continues to have a shaping impact on our culture, and his trenchant insights about the human condition touch all our lives. Students in psychology, sociology, anthropology, American studies, and history of science and medicine will find here a case study of a discipline that failed to mature in the manner of other disciplines. My story leads me to consider the role of science in psychology and medicine, the emergence and disappearance of different healing professions, and, perhaps most intriguingly, the stories of seemingly nonscientific professions that refused to disappear and live on, even prosper, at the margins of the scientific mainstream. I have in mind osteopathy, homeopathy, chiropractic, mindbody healing, and other fields that jointly make up what we now refer to as complementary/alternative medicine. Perhaps psychoanalysis will follow their example and learn how to survive and even thrive “at the margins.” I for one hope so.

A Note from the Author I am always deeply gratified when professors and students tell me that my books, based on years of research but written for a general audience, are popular and effective in college classes. Students love course readings in which they see themselves, and You Were Always Mom’s Favorite! includes many examples provided by young people just like them: students in my classes who wrote about their own lives. This makes the books personally engaging and readily accessible. Though the examples are of sisters, those who have brothers—and those who are brothers—see themselves, too. Even only children can identify, because the illustrations of sibling relationships apply to all family relationships. Through examples of everyday interactions among siblings, students gain insight into sophisticated sociolinguistic concepts, such as the two dynamics of hierarchy versus equality on one hand, and closeness versus distance on the other. Closeness is built into sibling relationships by dint of shared family and physical proximity. And power relations are also built in, as older ones tell younger ones what to do. At the same time, older ones are protective of and take care of younger ones—and this dramatizes how closeness and hierarchy are inextricably linked. Complex insights into language and communication are easier for students to grasp when illustrated by examples in which they see themselves. Consider concepts like “framing” and “metamessages”. A message lies in the meaning of words but metamessages are meanings about relationships that are communicated by the way something is said or the fact that it is said—and metamessages are what people react to. When an older sibling is protective of a younger one, it sends a metamessage of caring but also implies that the younger is less capable. Another way to say this is that it frames the younger as worthy of care but also as less competent. “Metamessages”, “framing”, the interrelationship of hierarchy and connection—these and other concepts come alive for students when illustrated with examples from their contemporaries. Another reason, I’m told, why students like this book is that I include many examples of myself and my own two sisters. Students appreciate seeing the author of a textbook as a person they can relate to. Even the title evokes immediate recognition because so many have heard or said it. You Were Always Mom’s Favorite! is perfect for courses in a wide range of disciplines: psychology, where it adds a focus on language; anthropology and sociology, sources of many of the terms and concepts I develop; interpersonal communication, where the focus on family brings processes of communication closer to home; women’s studies, where the older/younger power dynamic provides a counterbalance to theories that emphasize the tendency of women to downplay hierarchy; English composition, because it provides material on which academic writing can readily be based; and of course my own discipline, linguistics, where it introduces the field known as discourse analysis and provides insight into the workings of language in interaction. This book can be a companion volume to my previous books that are popular as textbooks: That’s Not What I Meant!, which introduces the concept of conversational style and shows how it affects relationships; You Just Don’t Understand, about women’s and men’s use of language; and The Argument Culture, which examines the way we communicate in public. As with those earlier titles, students particularly value having read You Were Always Mom’s Favorite! in college courses, because the concepts they learn and the insights they gain prove useful in their daily lives—and, I am told, remain relevant and useful long after they graduate.

THE HIDDEN BRAIN How Our Unconscious Minds Elect Presidents, Control Markets, Wage Wars, and Save Our Lives

www.hiddenbrain.org

By Shankar Vedantam

Now in Paperback

“Thinking about life through the lens of the hidden brain can be an addictive parlor game; it also happens to be one of the most important things we can do as human beings.” —Shankar Vedantam

he “hidden brain” is journalist Shankar Vedantam’s shorthand for a host of brain functions, emotional responses, and cognitive processes that happen outside our conscious awareness but have a decisive effect on human behavior. The hidden brain has its finger on the scale when we make all our most complex and important decisions: It decides whom we fall in love with, whether we should convict someone of murder, and which way to run when someone yells “Fire!” It explains why we can become riveted by some stories and bored by others. The hidden brain can also be deliberately manipulated to convince people to vote against their own interests, or even become suicide terrorists.

Shankar Vedantam takes readers on a tour of this phenomenon and explores its consequences. Using original reporting that combines the latest scientific research with compulsively readable narratives from the American campaign trail, to terrorist indoctrination camps, to the World Trade Center on 9/11, Vedantam illuminates the dark recesses of our minds while making an original argument about how we can compensate for our blind spots—and what happens when we don’t. “A disturbing but enlightening look at the power of the unconscious over human action and decision-making . . . A tour into dark realms of the psyche by a personable guide.” —Kirkus Reviews “A Washington Post science writer, Vedantam explores the findings of social psychologists about unconscious bias. Recounting people’s stories, he grips attention immediately.” —Booklist

About the Author

“In The Hidden Brain, one of America’s best science journalists describes how our unconscious minds influence everything from criminal trials to charitable giving, from suicide bombers to presidential elections. The Hidden Brain is a smart and engaging exploration of the science behind the headlines—and of the little man behind the screen. Don’t miss it.” —Daniel Gilbert, New York Times bestselling author of Stumbling on Happiness

SHANKAR VEDANTAM is a national science writer at The Washington Post. Between 2006 and 2009, Vedantam authored the weekly Department of Human Behavior column in The Washington Post. He is the winner of several journalism awards. Vedantam is a 2009–2010 Nieman Fellow at Harvard University. 26

A Note from the Author On the morning of September 11, 2001, 120 employees at a financial trading firm called Keefe, Bruyette & Woods were spread across the 88th and 89th floor of the South Tower of the World Trade Center. When the first plane hit the North Tower, the employees in the South Tower had a 16-minute window in which to escape before the second plane struck their building. Why did the employees on the 88th floor flee their desks and escape, while the employees on the 89th floor stayed behind at their desks and perished? I wrote the puzzle of the South Tower like a thriller—a New York Times reviewer reported being so gripped by the tale on a transatlantic flight that she failed to hear a flight attendant’s warning about a fast-approaching food cart—but the storytelling is just a means to an end. My goal in writing The Hidden Brain was to entice students and readers to join me on a journey of intellectual discovery. The last decade has seen an extraordinary flowering of ideas in psychology, sociology, economics, political science, philosophy and neuroscience. The insights generated in each of these fields are fascinating in their own right, but what intrigues me is how tendrils from these different gardens have grown increasingly interconnected. Psychology meets history when The Hidden Brain shows how common threads link the Japanese Kamikaze fighters in World War II, the Sri Lankan Tamil Tigers in the 1980s, and jihadi groups today. Sociological research melds with psychological studies about the bystander effect in “The Siren’s Call,” the chapter detailing the World Trade Center puzzle. Economics meets International Relations when The Hidden Brain shows how terrorist groups function like exclusive clubs. I have been invited to talk about the book in high schools and colleges across the country, on National Public Radio and The Tavis Smiley Show. When Harry Reid gloated about how Barack Obama’s light skin was an electoral advantage, I wrote an op-ed for The New York Times about unconscious intra-racial prejudice, or colorism— insights like this from The Hidden Brain speak incessantly to news events, and make courses feel relevant to the actual lives of students. Public health students, psychiatry residents and law students realize they are on the same page when the book explains how America has gotten the debate over guns backward (and why we need to worry much more about suicide than homicide). Philosophy students learn something about the nature of morality from my account of the strange neurological disease known as frontotemporal dementia. Political science students who track presidential campaigns realize they have much to learn from research into the racial biases of—I’m not making this up—kindergartners. If you want your students to get excited about ideas with enormous real-world consequences, please consider putting The Hidden Brain on their reading lists. You won’t regret it: Friends at universities across North America tell me my book is armdeep on the “reserved” lists at libraries. And at Harvard, where I spent the last year as a Nieman Fellow, the good people at Widener Library have regretfully informed me that The Hidden Brain has gone missing from the shelves.

JUST LIKE SOMEONE WITHOUT MENTAL ILLNESS ONLY MORE SO A Memoir By Mark Vonnegut, M.D.

M NEW

Do not order before 9/28/2010. Delacorte Press | HC 978-0-385-34379-4 | 224pp. $24.00/$27.00 Can. | Exam Copy: $12.00

ark Vonnegut first experienced a series of psychotic breaks as a young man while living on a commune after college. He was treated with electrotherapy, Thorazine and massive doses of vitamins to “cure” his schizophrenia. While he recovered in the family home in Massachusetts, he began coursework toward becoming a doctor. Though he excelled at his studies, Mark’s personal life was often unsettled: his parents’ relationship had dissolved, his own relationship with his father was strained, his marriage was in trouble, his son constantly had bronchitis, and chilled mugs and wine futures were a pretty mask on alcoholism. And then, in the mid-80s, the voices returned. After attempting to dive through a closed third-floor window, he awoke in restraints at Mass General Hospital, where he had trained and worked. Mark Vonnegut offers this stirring account of the past thirty-five years of his life—from Harvard Medical school and a brilliant pediatrics career to the terrifying return of mental illness—while also reflecting on his unique New England childhood as the only son of a not-yet-famous Kurt Vonnegut. “Two not unrelated challenges—being novelist Kurt Vonnegut’s son and suffering episodes of schizophrenia—shape, but don't confine, this mordantly witty, slightly subversive memoir. . . . Vonnegut vividly conveys the bizarre logic of the voices and delusions that occasionally plagued him, which he finds not much nuttier than what passes for normalcy. (He’s especially incensed by the insurance bureaucracies he thinks are ruining medicine.) His father’s son, he writes with a matter-of-fact absurdism—“The patient who just died lies there quietly and everyone else stops rushing around trying to do something about it”—champions misfits, and attacks the system. All his own are Vonnegut’s hard-won insights into the value of a humble, useful life picked up from pieces.” —Publishers Weekly

About the Author MARK VONNEGUT, M.D., is the only son of the late Kurt Vonnegut and the author of The Eden Express: A Memoir of Insanity (1975, ALA Notable Book) as well as the introduction to his father’s first collection of posthumous essays, Armageddon in Retrospect (Putnam, 2008). He subsequently studied medicine at Harvard Medical School and later came to the conclusion that he actually had bipolar disorder. He is currently a pediatrician in Quincy, Massachusetts. 28

Book Excerpt from Just Like Someone Without Mental Illness Only More So Chapter 1 A Brief Family History It’s good to have a sixth gear, but watch out for the seventh one. If you think too well outside the box, you might find yourself in a little room without much in it. The arts are not extracurricular. One hundred thirty-nine years ago, my great-grandfather Bernard Vonnegut, fifteen years old, described as less physically robust than his two older brothers, probably asthmatic, started crying while doing inventory at the family hardware store. When his parents asked what was wrong, he said he didn’t know but he thought he wanted to be an artist. “I don’t want to sell nails,” he sobbed. Maybe his parents should have beaten him for being ungrateful, but they wanted their son to be happy and the business was successful enough that they could hire someone else to do inventory. He became an apprentice stonecutter and then went to Europe to study art and architecture. He designed many buildings in Indianapolis that still stand today. He drew beautifully, made sculptures and furniture. He was also happily married and had three children, one of whom was Kurt senior, my grandfather, who was known as “Doc” and who also became an architect. Doc could also draw and paint and make furniture. He made wonderful chessboards, one of which he gave to me when I was nine. When he was sixty, Doc was pulled over for not stopping at a stop sign. The cop was astonished to notice that his driver’s license had expired twenty years earlier. “So shoot me,” said Doc. At the end of his life, which had included financial ruin in the Great Depression, his wife’s barbiturate addiction and death by overdose, and then his own lung cancer, Doc said, “It was enough to have been a unicorn.” What he meant was that he got to do art. It was magic to him that his hands and mind got to make wonderful things, that he didn’t have to be just another goat or horse. When I worked on the Harvard Medical School admissions committee, artistic achievements were referred to as “extras.” The arts are not extra. If my great-grandfather Bernard Vonnegut hadn’t started crying while doing inventory at Vonnegut Hardware and hadn’t told his parents that he wanted to be an artist instead of selling nails and if his parents hadn’t figured out how to help him make that happen, there are many buildings in and around Indianapolis that wouldn’t have gotten built. Kurt senior wouldn’t have created paintings or furniture or carvings or stained glass. And Kurt junior, if he existed at all, would have been just another guy with PTSD—no stories, no novels, no paintings. And I, if I existed at all, would have been just another broken young man without a clue how to get up off the floor.

ANATOMY OF AN EPIDEMIC

www.madinamerica.com

Magic Bullets, Psychiatric Drugs, and the Astonishing Rise of Mental Illness in America By Robert Whitaker

n Anatomy of an Epidemic award-winning science and history writer Robert Whitaker investigates, in the first book of its kind, the merits of psychiatric medications through the prism of long-term results, asking the question: Why has the number of disabled mentally ill in the United States tripled over the past two decades? During the past fifty years, when investigators looked at longterm outcomes, studies on various psychiatric drugs—including those used to treat depression, bipolar disorder and ADHD— have consistently found that these medications, for some paradoxical reason, increase the likelihood that people will become chronically ill, less able to function well, more prone to physical illness. Having given this shocking analysis of these findings, Whitaker then asks why the results from these long-term studies been kept from the public? He concludes with personal stories of children and adults swept up in this epidemic, and reports on innovative programs of psychiatric care in Europe and the United States that are producing good long-term outcomes.

“This is the most alarming book I’ve read in years. The approach is neither polemical nor ideologically slanted. Relying on medical evidence and historical documentation, Whitaker builds his case like a prosecuting attorney.” —Carl Elliott, M.D., Ph.D., Professor, Center for Bioethics, University of Minnesota and author of Better than Well: American Medicine Meets the American Dream “Anatomy of an Epidemic investigates a profoundly troubling question: do psychiatric medications increase the likelihood that people taking them, far from being helped, are more likely to become chronically ill? In making a compelling case that our current psychotropic drugs are causing as much—if not more— harm than good, Robert Whitaker reviews the scientific literature thoroughly, demonstrating how much of the evidence is on his side. There is nothing unorthodox here—this case is solid and evidence-backed. If psychiatry wants to retain its credibility with the public, it will now have to engage with the scientific argument at the core of this cogently and elegantly written book.” —David Healy, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry, Cardiff University and author of The Antidepressant Era and Let Them Eat Prozac

About the Author ROBERT WHITAKER is the author of three previous books: Mad in America (named one of the best science books of 2002 by Discover magazine and one of the best history books of 2002 by the ALA), The Mapmaker’s Wife (a Booksense pick; named one of the best biographies of 2004 by the ALA), and On the Laps of Gods (which won the J.

Book Excerpt from Anatomy of an Epidemic A Modern Plague “That is the essence of science: ask an impertinent question, and you are on the way to a pertinent answer.” —Jacob Bronowski (1973) This is the story of a medical puzzle. The puzzle is of a most curious sort, and yet one that we as a society desperately need to solve, for it tells of a hidden epidemic that is diminishing the lives of millions of Americans, including a rapidly increasing number of children. The epidemic has grown in size and scope over the past five decades, and now disables 850 adults and 250 children every day. And those startling numbers only hint at the true scope of this modern plague, for they are only a count of those who have become so ill that their families or caregivers are newly eligible to receive a disability check from the federal government. Now, here is the puzzle. As a society, we have come to understand that psychiatry has made great progress in treating mental illness over the past fifty years. Scientists are uncovering the biological causes of mental disorders, and pharmaceutical companies have developed a number of effective medications for these conditions. This story has been told in newspapers, magazines, and books, and evidence of our societal belief in it can be found in our spending habits. In 2007, we spent $25 billion on antidepressants and antipsychotics, and to put that figure in perspective, that was more than the gross domestic product of Cameroon, a nation of 18 million people. In 1999, U.S. surgeon general David Satcher neatly summed up this story of scientific progress in a 458-page report titled Mental Health. The modern era of psychiatry, he explained, could be said to have begun in 1954. Prior to that time, psychiatry lacked treatments that could “prevent patients from becoming chronically ill.” But then Thorazine was introduced. This was the first drug that was a specific antidote to a mental disorder—it was an antipsychotic medication—and it kicked off a psychopharmacological revolution. Soon antidepressants and antianxiety agents were discovered, and as a result, today we enjoy “a variety of treatments of well documented efficacy for the array of clearly defined mental and behavioral disorders that occur across the life span,” Satcher wrote. The introduction of Prozac and other “ second-generation” psychiatric drugs, the surgeon general added, was “stoked by advances in both neurosciences and molecular biology” and represented yet another leap forward in the treatment of mental disorders. Medical students training to be psychiatrists read about this history in their textbooks, and the public reads about it in popular accounts of the field. Thorazine, wrote University of Toronto professor Edward Shorter, in his 1997 book, A History of Psychiatry, “initiated a revolution in psychiatry, comparable to the introduction of penicillin in general medicine.” That was the start of the “psychopharmacology era,” and today we can rest assured that science has proved that the drugs in psychiatry’s medicine cabinet are beneficial. “We have very effective and safe treatments for a broad array of psychiatric disorders,” Richard Friedman, director of the psychopharmacology clinic at Weill Cornell Medical College, informed readers of the New York Times on June 19, 2007. Three days later, the Boston Globe, in an editorial titled “When Kids Need Meds,” echoed this sentiment: “The development of powerful drugs has revolutionized the treatment of mental illness.”

THE SEARCH FOR FULFILLMENT Revolutionary New Research That Reveals the Secret to Long-Term Happiness

www.searchforfulfillment.com

By Susan Krauss Whitbourne, Ph.D.

n the fall of 1966, at a university in the Northeast, 350 students signed up for a psychological survey on personal development and happiness. In 1977, Susan Krauss Whitbourne, then a young psychology professor, came across the study and decided to expand it. She tracked down the study’s original participants and questioned them every decade until she had forty years’ worth of data. Now, in this groundbreaking book, Whitbourne reveals the findings of this extensive project, a seminal piece of research into how people change over the course of their lifetimes. The results indicate something fascinating: No matter how old or how content one might currently feel, it is never too late to steer one’s life toward a greater sense of purpose and satisfaction.

“This remarkable exploration into the core dimensions of human nature takes readers of all ages on a journey of liberation. The psychologically revolutionary ideas that flow through every chapter free us from simplistic pop-psych notions of ‘midlife crises’ and confining age-based passages. We come to appreciate the extraordinary fluidity of human nature as people mature and embark on life’s dynamic pathways, ideally toward personal fulfillment on triumphant or authentic paths. Emerging from solid, original research, The Search for Fulfillment’s sound, practical advice can transform your life. This is a must-read-now book.” —Philip Zimbardo, author of The Lucifer Effect and The Time Paradox “In her groundbreaking new book, psychologist Susan Krauss Whitbourne shows that the path to happiness comes in many forms and can start at any point in our lives. Vividly portraying the lives of a group of baby boomers over a forty-year period, she draws lessons that compellingly illustrate that it’s never too late to foster significant change in our own lives, and that fulfillment is within the reach of each of us.” —Robert S. Feldman, associate dean and professor of psychology, University of Massachusetts Amherst; author of The Liar of Your Life

About the Author SUSAN KRAUSS WHITBOURNE, Ph.D. is a pioneer in the study of adult development and has been leading the field for more than thirty years. She received her doctorate in psychology from Columbia University and is currently a professor of psychology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. A licensed psychologist, Whitbourne has been interviewed and cited in numerous articles in publications including The New York Times, Newsweek, Redbook, and Glamour. 32

A Note from the Author

It gives me great pleasure to tell you about my book, The Search for Fulfillment, which is the culmination of my life-long search for answers about what causes people to change in their adult years. As a young assistant professor, I dreamed of being able to chart the pathways of development by conducting a longitudinal study. Through a combination of good fortune and planning, and the willing cooperation of hundreds of participants, I was able to complete the study that forms the core of my book. My goal in writing the book was to shed light on the myriad ways that people change through life while at the same time identifying systematic patterns to characterize that change. As one of the early pioneers in the pedagogy of adult development and aging, I also hope that my book will be a valuable supplement to college courses in the field. By giving students insight into the real changes that adults experience, the book will educate them about development in adulthood. The book also will illuminate the research process for students. My observations about the research participants form an important part of the book. The mystery and excitement that comes along with opening the questionnaires from participants tested 10, 20, and even 35 years earlier is captured in my personal reflections that accompany the stories of the people in my study. As a scholar in this field, I have sought to educate readers about the importance of separating myths about midlife from the findings based on empirical data. The notion of a “midlife crisis,” long ago debunked as a myth by the scientific evidence on adult development, is one that I tackle head on in this book. I’ve showed why the myth persists but, more importantly, why it is a flawed notion. Along with the midlife crisis, popular psychology portrays adulthood as a series of discrete stages punctuated by decade marker points. In my book, I’ve shown that people develop in all kinds of ways in the years from late adolescence to midlife. I identify five pathways of development, providing numerous examples to illustrate each. I’ve also provided “Action Plans” that show specific ways people can find a more fulfilling pathway if the one they’re on isn’t working for them anymore. My book also has an inspiring message, one with which my students strongly resonate: change is possible at any age. People can achieve their cherished goals no matter how old they are or what they’ve done with their lives so far. I provide examples both from the case studies in my book and the broader area of research on successful aging to show that people’s ability to achieve fulfillment is virtually unlimited. As an instructor of large psychology courses covering the range from the massive introductory level lecture to advanced seminars, I have developed an understanding of the best ways to engage students in the learning process. This book will educate them about this very important subject, captivate their imaginations, and inspire them to find their own fulfillment.
