Par J. H. Badley. 1931
First published in 1931, the underlying assumption of The Will to Live is that of a psychological evolution in which…
mind is regarded not merely as developing in association with nervous and cerebral development, but as being itself the most important factor in the process. It is this assumption which gives meaning to the title that has been chosen for the book. It brings themes like is psychology a science; impulse and growth; the rise of consciousness; the three main lines of instinct; the variability of habit; development of intelligence; thought as judgment and reflection; the critical faculty; simple and complex emotions; ideals and idealization; voluntary activity; sex and conflict; and buried complexes and dreams. This is an interesting historical document for the students of psychology.Virtual Reality in Behavioral Neuroscience: New Insights and Methods (Current Topics in Behavioral Neurosciences #65)
Par Christopher Maymon, Gina Grimshaw, Ying Choon Wu. 2023
Virtual Reality (VR) is a rapidly maturing technology that offers new and unique solutions to otherwise intractable problems in the…
study of cognition, behavior and neuroscience. VR removes many of the constraints imposed by laboratory paradigms, allowing us to track cognitive, behavioral and brain responses to naturalistic (or even impossible) situations without sacrificing experimental control. But VR is not a tool that can be swiftly and effortlessly integrated into existing research pipelines; currently, the benefits of VR are accompanied by a host of methodological challenges and important practical considerations. To help navigate this new methodology, this volume provides a balanced review of both the exciting new findings emerging from VR labs and the challenges and limitations that are part and parcel of VR research. This volume is an important first step toward establishing a standardised methodology for conducting research in VR. To this end, the volume provides a wealth of practical advice for researchers who are new to the technology. This volume is authored by an interdisciplinary team of VR researchers including computer scientists, engineers, psychologists and neuroscientists. It highlights current research in the field to demonstrate how VR advances our understanding of the mind, while also providing groundbreaking solutions in applied domains.Resilience Enhancement in Social Work Practice: Anti-Oppressive Social Work Skills and Techniques
Par Nancy Greene, Roberta Greene, Connie Corley. 2023
As people around the globe experience more civil unrest and environmental disruption, the difficulties social workers face in their practice…
are becoming increasingly complex. This textbook deepens and expands the resilience-enhancing stress model (RESM) skill set and techniques so that social workers can more effectively serve clients and constituencies who are trying to overcome the stress of difficult life transitions and challenging environmental demands. It is designed as a companion piece to A Resilience-Enhancing Stress Model: A Social Work Multisystemic Practice Approach (Springer, 2022). The intent of the RESM is to further expand social workers' practice skill sets with additional concepts from the anti-oppressive practice (AOP) and coaching literature that aligns with the Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards from the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). The book's 12 chapters are organized around life transitions and illustrate skills, techniques, and interviews important to the enhancement of resilience. Among the topics covered:The Resilience-Enhancing Stress Model: Articulating Anti-Oppressive PracticeExploring the Role of Cultural Diversity in Resilient Social Functioning: Theory and SkillsCountering Human Rights Violations During Life TransitionsFacilitating Community Development Following DisruptionResilience Enhancement in Social Work Practice: Anti-Oppressive Social Work Skills and Techniques uniquely offers practitioners a knowledge base to exponentiate their efficacy in identifying and fortifying resilience in a time in history when it appears to be imperative. It is written for a student social work audience at the generalist or advanced generalist level for practice across a range of populations and settings. It contains traditional and contemporary human behavior content that supports a social work narrative methodology and a life course perspective. It could be taught with its predecessor across one or two semesters. Practitioners in the field who are new to this content could also find the text a valuable resource.Feeling 'Blah'?: Why Anhedonia Has Left You Joyless and How to Recapture Life's Highs

Par Ketaki Chowkhani and Craig Wynne. 2024
This book examines, for perhaps the first time, singlehood at the intersections of race, media, language, culture, literature, space, health,…
and life satisfaction. It adopts an interdisciplinary approach, borrowing from sociology, literary studies, medical humanities, race studies, linguistics, demographic studies, and critical geography to understand singlehood in the world today. This collection of essays aims to establish the discipline of Singles Studies, finding new ways of examining it from various disciplinary and cultural perspectives. It begins with laying the field and then moves on to critically look at how race has shaped the way we understand singlehood in the West and how class, age, gender, privilege, and the media play a role in shaping singlehood. It argues for a need for increased interdisciplinarity within the field, for example, analyzing singlehood from the perspective of medical humanities. The volume also explores the role workplace, living arrangements, financial status, and gender play in single people’s life satisfaction. With an interdisciplinary and transnational approach, this interdisciplinary volume seeks to establish Singles Studies as a truly global discipline. This pathbreaking volume would be of interest to students and researchers of sociology, literature, linguistics, media studies, and psychology.Therapeutic Proteins: Methods and Protocols (Methods in Molecular Biology #2720)

Figures are included for every model along with detailed discussions of model specification and implementation issues and each chapter also includes examples of each model type, descriptions of model extensions, comment sections that provide practical guidance, and recommended readings. Expanded with new and updated material, this edition includes many recent developments, a new chapter on growth mixture modeling, and new examples. Ideal for graduate courses on longitudinal (data) analysis, advanced SEM, longitudinal SEM, and/or advanced data (quantitative) analysis taught in the behavioral, social, and health sciences, this new edition will continue to appeal to researchers in these fields.Surviving Wounded Knee: The Lakotas and the Politics of Memory
Par David W. Grua. 2016
On December 29, 1890, the U.S. Seventh Cavalry killed more than two hundred Lakota Ghost Dancers- including men, women, and…
children-at Wounded Knee Creek, South Dakota. After the work of death ceased at Wounded Knee, the work of memory commenced. For the US Army and some whites, Wounded Knee was the site where a heroic victory was achieved against the fanatical Chief Big Foot and his treacherous Ghost Dancers and where the struggle between civilization and savagery for North America came to an end. For other whites, it was a stain on the national conscience, a leading example of America's dishonorable dealings with Native peoples. For Lakota survivors it was the site of a horrific massacre of a peacemaking chief and his people, and where the United States violated its treaty promises and slaughtered innocents. Historian David Grua argues that Wounded Knee serves as a window into larger debates over how the United States' conquest of the indigenous peoples should be remembered. During the five decades after Wounded Knee, the survivors pursued historical justice in the form of compensation, in accordance with traditional Lakota conflict resolution practices and treaty provisions that required compensation for past wrongs. The survivors engaged in the politics of memory by preparing compensation claims, erecting a monument "in memory of the Chief Big Foot massacre" at the mass grave on the Pine Ridge Reservation, by dictating accounts to sympathetic whites, and by testifying before the U.S. Congress in the 1930s in support of a bill intended to "liquidate the liability" of the United States for Wounded Knee. Despite the bill's failure, the survivors' prolonged pursuit of justice laid the foundation for later activists who would draw upon the memorial significance of Wounded Knee to promote indigenous sovereignty. Published on the 125th anniversary of this controversial event, Surviving Wounded Knee examines the Lakota survivors' half-century pursuit of justice and points to lingering questions about the United States' willingness to address the liabilities of Indian conquest.Contemporary Psychoanalysis and Jewish Thought: Answering a Question with More Questions (Psyche and Soul)
Par Lewis Aron, Libby Henik. 2024
Demonstrating the connections between contemporary psychoanalysis, Jewish thought and Jewish history, this volume is a significant contribution to the traditions…
of dialogue, debate and change-within-continuity that epitomize these disciplines. The authors of this volume explore the cross-disciplinary connections between psychoanalysis and Jewish thought, while seeking out the resonance of new meanings, to exemplify the uncanny similarities that exist between ancient Rabbinic methods of interpretation and contemporary psychoanalytic theory and methodology, particularly the centrality of the question and the deconstruction of narrative. In doing so, this collaboration addresses the bi-directional influence between, and the relevance of, the Jewish interpretive tradition and psychoanalysis to provide readers with renewed insight into key topics such as Biblical text and midrash, religious traditions, trauma, gender, history, clinical work and the legacies of the Holocaust on psychoanalytic theory. Creating an intimate environment for interdisciplinary dialogue, this is an essential book for students, scholars and clinicians alike, who seek to understand the continued significance of the multiple connections between psychoanalysis and Jewish thought.Multidimensional Grief Therapy: A Flexible Approach to Assessing and Supporting Bereaved Youth
Par William Saltzman, Christopher M. Layne, Julie B. Kaplow, Robert S. Pynoos. 2023
Multidimensional Grief Therapy (MGT) provides counselors, social workers, psychologists, and psychiatrists (as well as students in these fields) with a…
flexible program for assessing and supporting children and adolescents who have experienced bereavement. MGT is a strength-based intervention, designed to reduce unhelpful grief reactions that prevent adjustment, and promote adaptive grief reactions that enable children to cope better after a death. It also reduces associated symptoms of psychological distress and helps bereaved children and adolescents lead healthy, happy, productive lives. As young people grieve in different ways and “one-size-fits-all” treatments often lack effectiveness, MGT uses an assessment-driven, two-phased approach to effectively address the unique mental health needs of diverse youth. This manual provides a wealth of activities and handouts designed specifically to engage and empower youth after experiencing a death, including under traumatic circumstances.Transgenerational Haunting in Psychoanalysis: Toxic Errands (Relational Perspectives Book Series)
Par Maurice Apprey. 2024
In this book, Maurice Apprey continues his unique work on transgenerational haunting to explore how events in our ancestors' lives…
may be renegotiated and re-subjectivized in the present from within the therapeutic dyad. With an informed and impassioned voice that evokes the tragic psychic consequences of the unresolved, silenced tragedies and transgressions that haunt subsequent generations, Apprey illustrates how the analyst can unfold a patient's transference wishes and emancipate them from the unconscious projects, or errands, they have inherited. This can happen through a threefold process of excavating the unconscious sedimentations of ancestral history, appropriating and reactivating the ancestral errands within the transference, and subsequently decoding the patient's transference pressures. Expanding on Apprey's work about the analyst's field of inquiry and ways of listening in clinical practice, this book illuminates the potential for a resolution, rather than a re-enactment, of the traumas that can haunt a family system across generations. Attending to the manifestation of transgenerational trauma through varied clinical material, and informed by the thinking of Sigmund Freud, among others, this book will be essential reading for all psychoanalysts and psychotherapists.Ethical Issues in Community and Patient Stakeholder–Engaged Health Research (Philosophy and Medicine #146)

Through these anecdotes of Auggie&’s life and the days following his death, readers journey with a family shaken by mental illness and share in their hard-won joys in defiance of depression.Refusing easy answers and clichés about &“God&’s plan,&” Hubbard unflinchingly asks: Does faith matter amid such tragedy? What do you do when awareness isn&’t enough? When you&’ve tried so hard to keep your child safe, but your efforts fail? His honesty and vulnerability—and his tender portrait of Auggie—are gifts to all who live with their own questions in the wake of a loved one&’s death.Grief Memoirs: Cultural, Supportive, and Therapeutic Significance (Routledge Studies in Literature and Health Humanities)
Par Katarzyna A. Małecka. 2023
Grief Memoirs: Cultural, Supportive, and Therapeutic Significance bridges literary studies and psychology to evaluate contemporary grief memoirs for use by…
bereaved and non-bereaved individuals. This volume positions the grief memoir within life writing and bereavement studies through examination of the genre’s characteristics, definitions, and functions. The book presents the views of memoirists, helping professionals, community members, and university students on writing and reading as self-expressive, self-searching, and grief-witnessing acts after the loss of a loved one. Utilizing new data from surveys assessing grief support and bibliotherapy, this text discusses the compatibility of grief memoirs with contemporary grief theories and the role of interdisciplinary methods in assisting the bereaved. Grief Memoirs: Cultural, Supportive, and Therapeutic Significance will help educators advance the understanding and interpretation of loss within psychology, literature, and medical humanities classrooms.
