NATIONAL BESTSELLER "Unlearning Silence is the book I wish I had when I started my career….This book is going to…
change the workplace for the better."—Pooja Lakshmin MD, psychiatrist & best-selling author of Real Self-Care&“A necessary read…Unlearning Silence offers an opportunity and tools to change things within and around us – for ourselves and those we love.&” —Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to SomeoneA paradigm-shifting book looking at the pervasive influence of silence and how we can begin to dismantle it in order to find our voices at home and at workHaving a seat at the table doesn&’t mean that your voice is actually welcome. Knowing something is wrong doesn't mean it's easy to speak up. In fact, there are incentives for many of us to stay silent. Why speak up if you know that it won&’t be received well, and in fact, often makes things worse?In Unlearning Silence, Hering explores how we&’ve learned to be silent, how we&’ve benefited from silence, how we&’ve silenced other people—and how we might choose another way. She teaches how to recognize and unlearn unconscious patterns so we can make more intentional choices about how we want to show up at home and at work. Only by unlearning silence can we more fully unleash talent, speak our minds, and be more complete versions of ourselves… and help other people do the same.With compassion, clarity, and understanding, Hering guides readers through real-life examples and offers a concrete road map for doing this vital and challenging work.By Fred R. Volkmar, Brian Reichow, James C. McPartland. 2024

Das Ziel dieses Buches ist es, einen Überblick über das begrenzte wissenschaftliche Wissen darüber zu geben, wie Schlaf mit Persönlichkeit…
und Sozialverhalten zusammenhängt. Dieser Sammelband begründet ein neues interdisziplinäres Forschungsfeld zum Thema Schlaf, das Schlafprozesse im Zusammenhang mit sozialem Verhalten und sozial-kognitiven Prozessen (z. B. mögen, respektieren, helfen, verletzen, erreichen) sowie individuellen Unterschieden in der Persönlichkeit (d. h. chronische Muster von Gefühlen, Gedanken und Verhalten) untersucht. Die Autoren zeigen die wichtigsten Lücken in den wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen über den Schlaf und seine Bedeutung für persönlichkeitsbezogene und soziale Prozesse auf und wollen damit die künftigen Forschungsbemühungen von Wissenschaftlern aus den Bereichen Psychologie, Biologie, Soziologie und Schlafmedizin unterstützen.Zu den diskutierten Themen gehören:· Wie der Schlaf die Emotionsregulation beeinflusst· Schlaf und Temperament in der frühen Kindheit· Dynamik zwischen Schlaf und Selbstbeherrschung· Auswirkungen auf die Aufgabenerfüllung· Einfluss des Schlafs auf soziale Kognition und Urteilsvermögen'Schlaf, Persönlichkeit und soziales Verhalten' untersucht umfassend die Rolle des Schlafs bei Emotionen und Motivation, die Auswirkungen des Schlafs auf sozial-kognitive Prozesse, die Dynamik zwischen Schlaf und dem Funktionieren von Beziehungen, die Bedeutung des Schlafs für das Gruppenverhalten, die Rolle von Persönlichkeitsunterschieden beim Schlaf und die Rolle des Schlafs bei der Persönlichkeits- und Sozialentwicklung. Forscher aus den Bereichen Persönlichkeits- und Sozialpsychologie, Gesundheitspsychologie und Neurologie werden in diesem aufschlussreichen Buch die erheblichen Lücken im wissenschaftlichen Verständnis des Schlafs aufdecken.By Robert J.

This edited volume brings together leading scholars in diverse disciplines to share their best thinking on how creativity can be…
conceived of, taught for, and deployed to serve rather than undermine humanity. Transformational creativity, as defined in this book, is creativity deployed to make a positive, meaningful, and potentially enduring difference to the world. Transformational creativity is compared to transactional creativity, which is creativity deployed in search of a reward, whether externally or internally generated.By Kate Carne. 2016

The world expert in multisensory perception on the remarkable ways we can use our senses to lead richer lives 'Talks…
total sense, lots of fun facts, right up there with the best of the best' Chris Evans'Packed with studies on pain, attention, memory, mood' The Times How can the furniture in your home affect your wellbeing? What colour clothing will help you play sport better? And what simple trick will calm you after a tense day at work? In this revelatory book, pioneering and entertaining Oxford professor Charles Spence shows how our senses change how we think and feel, and how by 'hacking' them we can reduce stress, become more productive and be happier.We like to think of ourselves as rational beings, and yet it's the scent of expensive face cream that removes wrinkles (temporarily), a room actually feels warmer if you use a warmer paint colour, and the noise of the crowd really does affect the referee's decision. Understanding how our senses interact can produce incredible results. This is popular science at its unbelievable best.

The Schreber Case is distinctive from the other case histories in that it's based on the memoirs of a conjectural…
patient. Schreber was a judge and doctor of law who lived according to a strict set of principles. His nervous illness first manifested itself as hypochondria and insomnia - which he put down to his excessive workload - but gradually deteriorated into pathological delusion. Believing himself to be dead and rotting, Schreber attempted suicide, and then went on to experience bizarre delusional epsiodes whereby he belived he was being turned into a woman. The course of this extraordinary illness is analysed by Freud in his search for a root cause - could it have been caused by homesexual impulses that Schreber tried to repress?By Shaparak Khorsandi. 2023

their own, pack a bag, turn the lights off and run away to the seaside the moment they are meant to be doing homework, paying bills or not putting the cat in the fridge. These are ADHD brains. I have one and believe they are as common as being left-handed, flat footed or genuinely enjoying anchovies on a pizza. Undiagnosed Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder made my life a frustrating, maddening rollercoaster. I had very little focus except when I was hyper-focusing (and then it would always be on the wrong things), I made the same mistakes over and over again, regularly burning myself out until I was sobbing. When I finally was diagnosed in my 40s it felt like the lights had been turned on after a lifetime in the dark.'Join much-loved comedian Shaparak Khorsandi as she looks back on her life through the lens of ADHD and finally makes sense of the chaos. From discovering the joys of shoplifting through to finally understanding her attraction to toxic men, Scatter Brain will have you laughing (and crying) as you find out what it's really like to live a life out of control. Whether you suspect you might have ADHD or you're just here for the ride, let Shaparak take you on her heartbreaking and hilarious journey of self-discovery where you just might learn something useful about yourself too!By Etiënne A. Rouwette, L. Alberto Franco. 2024
In the knowledge economy, teams play a central role in decisions made within and across organisations. The reason why teams…
with diverse compositions are often used is arguably their ability to develop solutions that none of their members could have produced alone. Systems design, strategy and policy development, risk management, and innovation are just a few of the areas that call for team decisions. Unfortunately, a considerable number of behavioural research studies show that teamwork is fraught with difficulties. Teams often underestimate their fallibility, struggle with conflict, or are unable to share and integrate critical information effectively. Indeed, the evidence shows that two out of three teams do not achieve their goals and half of organisational decisions – many of which are team decisions – fail.In this book, the authors draw from research in psychology, decision and systems sciences – as well as their own research and consulting work that spans more than 20 years – to show how designed interventions can enable team decision making to become rigorous, transparent, and defensible. They cover theory and practice regarding the design, delivery, and evaluation of interventions to support team decision making in situations of varied complexity. Written as an applied resource for researchers and advanced students in particular, this book offers a guide to proven interventions that enhance the process of making team decisions and increase the chances of superior team results.The Open Access version of this book, available at www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.By Donald Kalsched. 2013
In Trauma and the Soul, Donald Kalsched continues the exploration he began in his first book, The Inner World of…
Trauma (1996)--this time going further into the mystical or spiritual moments that often occur around the intimacies of psychoanalytic work. Through extended clinical vignettes, including therapeutic dialogue and dreams, he shows how depth psychotherapy with trauma's survivors can open both analytic partners to "another world" of non-ordinary reality in which daimonic powers reside, both light and dark. This mytho-poetic world, he suggests, is not simply a defensive product of our struggle with the harsh realities of living as Freud suggested, but is an everlasting fact of human experience--a mystery that is often at the very center of the healing process, and yet at other times, strangely resists it. With these "two worlds" in focus, Kalsched explores a variety of themes as he builds, chapter by chapter, an integrated psycho-spiritual approach to trauma and its treatment including: images of the lost soul-child in dreams and how this "child" represents an essential core of aliveness that is both protected and persecuted by the psyche's defenses; Dante's guided descent into the Inferno of Hell as a paradigm for the psychotherapy process and its inevitable struggle with self-destructive energies; childhood innocence and its central role in a person's spiritual life seen through the story of St. Exupéry's The Little Prince; how clinical attention to implicit processes in the relational field, as well as discoveries in body-based affective neuroscience are making trauma treatment more effective; the life of C.G. Jung as it portrays his early trauma, his soul's retreat into an inner sanctuary, and his gradual recovery of wholeness through the integration of his divided self. This is a book that restores the mystery to psychoanalytic work. It tells stories of ordinary patients and ordinary psychotherapists who, through working together, glimpse the reality of the human soul and the depth of the spirit, and are changed by the experience. Trauma and the Soul will be of particular interest to practicing psychotherapists, psychoanalysts, analytical psychologists, and expressive arts therapists, including those with a "spiritual" orientation. Donald Kalsched is a Jungian analyst in private practice in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and a training analyst with the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts. He is the author of numerous articles in analytical psychology, and lectures widely on the subject of early trauma and its treatment. His books include The Inner World of Trauma (1996).By Hanna Levenson. 1995
Ten years ago, Hans Strupp and Jeffrey Binder’s Psychotherapy in a New Key introduced a powerful, empirically tested model of…
brief psychotherapy that has proven highly successful and changed the practice of psychotherapy forever. But until now, there has been no follow-up publication to make the model come alive. With this book, Hanna Levenson draws on her extensive experience with time-limited dynamic psychotherapy to let readers see the therapy in action.In this era of managed care and limited insurance reimbursement for therapy, many clients are receiving brief therapy treatment. can therapists adjust to these new pressures for efficiency without feeling as if they have to choose between good therapy and brief therapy? Time-limited dynamic psychotherapy provides a state-of-the-art model of treatment that incorporates current developments in psychoanalytic, interpersonal, object-relations, and self-psychology theories, as well as cognitive-behavioral and systems approaches. This flexible approach to brief therapy is designed to treat people with long-standing dysfunctional relationships. This book emphasizes identification of interpersonal difficulties and teaches a method of focusing therapy that is behaviorally based and explicit.In a highly original approach, Levenson presents detailed transcripts not only of model cases but also for students discussing those cases with her, taken from a videotape of her class. A spirited forum on the techniques and aims of time-limited dynamic psychotherapy emerges, adding a depth and richness not usually found in casebooks. This thoughtful, important companion volume to Strupp and Binder’s book will gain a broad following as therapists seek to practice therapy that is effective, efficient, and empirically based.By Jennifer E. Lansford, Doran C. French, Mary Gauvain. 2021
Human development doesn’t occur in a vacuum. Rather, it is deeply rooted in, and affected by, culture. This textbook examines…
how culture affects several domains of development, including cognition, emotion, sociolinguistics, peer relationships, family relationships, and more. The chapters highlight differences between “WEIRD” cultures (Western, educated, and from industrialized, rich, and democratic countries) and non-WEIRD cultures, as well as differences with respect to gender, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and other identity markers. Each chapter draws upon a large research base and highlights specific studies to engage students, illustrate key points, and convey the role of empirical research in psychology. As a result, students will learn that the development of behavior, values, social relationships, ways of seeing the world, language, and thought processes cannot be understood separate from culture.By Anna B. Baranowsky, J. Eric Gentry. 2023
