By Pablo Martínez-Botello. 1971
¿Alcanzaron los campos de exterminio nazis la cima de la psicología del mal? Una visión sin precedentes Podemos acercarnos a…
los campos de concentración nazis a través de las memorias de los supervivientes y de los estudios históricos. Menos explorada es la vertiente de los aspectos sociales y psicológicos de la realidad de los Lager. Este libro pretende, con afán divulgativo, acercarnos a ese terrible mundo: saber cuáles eran los roles de sus actores (SS y prisioneros) y valorar las interacciones entre ellos, así como desgranar los efectos psicológicos y psicosomáticos que padecieron los deportados. Psicología del mal rastrea los espacios más oscuros del alma humana y la relación asimétrica que se da entre verdugos y víctimas, en las que estas últimas no tienen más remedio que aceptar, si es quequieren sobrevivir, los códigos impuestos desde la brutalidad y la barbarie en el proceso de animalización al que son sometidos. «A lo largo de este libro vamos a recorrer desde sus orígenes el desarrollo de un proyecto que acabó deliberadamente con la vida de millones de personas. Vamos a ver en detalle los procedimientos, los lugares, los tiempos en que se desarrolló... El panorama es muy amplio, los actores son muy numerosos y las situaciones que toca describir son extremadamente complejas. Pero el autor lo hace mostrando un amplio conocimiento y también una sensibilidad que, en mi opinión, es también imprescindible en este proyecto», del prólogo de Benito Bermejo.Child Development: An Active Learning Approach

and otherwise fairly normal people lose their minds when it comes to writing, and then shows the reader how to stop being one of those people. Author Sharon Zumbrunn designed this brief text for beginning and struggling academic writers so they can understand the psychological hang-ups that can get in the way of productivity. This book intertwines social and behavioral science research and humor to offer tips and exercises to help writers overcome their hurdles. Each chapter includes a description of findings from psychological and related research on writing hurdles and personal experiences of the writing process. Within the chapters, the author provides practical strategies and resources to help writers move beyond the challenges holding them back. Why Aren′t You Writing? acknowledges how emotionally and mentally challenging it can be to be a "writer." This book helps readers to balance the hard work required for change with a bit of levity often necessary for withstanding sustained difficult thinking and meaningful change. Together, the components of this text present a systematic approach for beginning and struggling academics to become aware of what might be happening in their heads when they (don’t) write, and harness that knowledge to build a healthier and more resilient relationship with writing.On the History and Transmission of Lacanian Psychoanalysis: Speaking of Lacan
By Chris Vanderwees. 2024
On the History and Transmission of Lacanian Psychoanalysis addresses key questions about the history and transmission of Jacques Lacan’s work…
in North America through discussions with experienced psychoanalysts (who are also trained psychiatrists, psychologists, and psychotherapists). Chris Vanderwees presents conversations with clinicians about their psychoanalytic formation and about the development of Lacanian psychoanalysis in North America over the past several decades. With oral narrative brought out through the technique of free association, then transcribed and annotated, each discussion is a trace of Vanderwees’ encounter with each clinician and the result of collaborative efforts involving speech, writing, translation, and transmission. The conversational tone makes these discussions accessible not only for those already well-versed in Lacan’s thinking, but also for anyone discovering his work for the first time. The range of contributions spans both French and English-speaking Canada, the United States, and Mexico. Complemented by On the Theory and Clinic of Lacanian Psychoanalysis, this book of conversations conveys the diversity of historical and pedagogical perspectives on theory and practice as inspired by Lacan’s system of thought. It will be of great interest to all psychoanalytic practitioners as well as academics and scholars of psychoanalysis.Witnessing and Psychoanalysis: As If It Never Happened

Psychoanalysis and Witnessing intertwines aspects of the history of psychoanalysis with the development of Philippe Réfabert’s own thinking and clinical…
practice. Réfabert’s work invites analysts to reflect on the inception of psychic life. The author argues for a revision of drive theory and reflects on the psychic functioning of the analyst in the session. Réfabert forces the analyst to see the necessity of standing witness to acts left unacknowledged; he holds that in analysis witnessing is crucial. With case material from the author’s practice throughout, this book will be of great interest to psychoanalysts in practice and in training.This book examines the performance strategies used by contemporary Iranian artists and activists to reimagine “Iranian-ness” in the context of…
Iran’s local, regional, and global position. This study identifies the important social and political interventions made by theatrical and performance pieces, visual art, and electronic music that articulate and reformulate Iranian-ness by breaking away from fixed and constructed stereotypes projected on them by both the Islamic regime and Western power. This book explores the reception and context within which artworks become meaningful performative acts. Looking closely at the works of a notable female Iranian photographer, Shadi Ghadirian, in conjunction with the new generation of Iranian nonconformist artists/activists such as Tahmineh Monzavi and Hedieh Ahmadi; the visionary theatre productions of Ali Akbar Alizad; and radically untraditional sound/noise of the electronic music movement in Tehran, this book calls attention to the Iran-based artists who are tirelessly trying to raise awareness regarding the political violence imposed on Iranian identity at the legal (top-down) and everyday (bottom-up) levels. This volume will be of great interest to student and scholars in theatre and performance, photography, art, music, sociology, and politics.Sensate Focus and the Psyche explores in depth both psychoanalytic and psychosexual perspectives of sensate focus, a programme of touching…
exercises for couples with sexual problems, and in so doing provides an original, integrated model for understanding the conscious and unconscious impact of this tactile intervention on couples in treatment. Susan Pacey reviews the historical relationship between psychoanalysis and sex therapy and the splitting of mind, body and relationship since Freud. She illustrates how the tactile intervention can help repair the early life impingements on partners’ individual development that mobilise anxieties about sexuality and shame in adulthood. Case studies illustrate how sensate focus can help conceptualise unconscious embodied memories, repair shame, encourage Winnicottian play, work through transitional phenomena and develop psychological space, establishing a platform for the healthy expression of adult sexuality. Pacey discusses how sexual desire and aggression are inextricably linked in the human psyche, proposing that sensate focus can help enable positive aggression necessary for sex and reduce the potential for partners’ anxieties about their psychological separateness. Lastly, she proposes judicious use of this powerful, tactile intervention and highlights contraindications. Sensate Focus and the Psyche will be essential reading for all psychotherapists who work with individuals, couples and families.Music and Identity in Twenty-First-Century Monasticism (Routledge Research in Music)
By Amanda J. Haste. 2023
Twenty-first-century monastic communities represent unique social environments in which music plays an integral part. This book examines the role of…
music in Catholic, Anglican/Episcopalian and neo-monastic communities in Britain and North America, engaging closely with communities of practice to provide a penetrating insight into the role of music in self-care and as a vector for identity construction on both individual and community levels. The author explores the essential role of music in community dynamics, the rationale for using instruments, the implications of both chant-based and freestyle composition, gender-related differences in musical activity, the role of dance (‘music made visible’) in community life, the commodification of monastic music, the ‘Singing Nun’ phenomenon and the role of music in established and emerging neo-monastic communities. The result is a comprehensive and compelling study of the agency of music in the construction and expression of personal and community identity.Desettlering as Re-subjectification of the Settler Subject: Towards Alternative Traditions and Identity (Explorations in Mental Health)
By Hans A. Skott-Myhre, Kathleen S.G. Skott-Myhre, Jeffrey Galvin Smith, Scott Kouri. 2023
This book offers an intervention into the process of decolonization through the re-subjectification of the settler subject. The authors draw…
on what Deleuze and Guattari call minor threads of philosophy, pedagogy, spirituality, and healing practices rooted in neglected lineages of European thought and ceremony. The book proposes a methodology for unontologizing the settler subject, which they term "desettlering." Rather than fetishizing indigenous theory and practice as a mode for resubjectifying settlers to facilitate land-based decolonization, it offers a fresh approach by looking toward alternative sets of traditions and identities. These alternatives are used to interrogate minoritarian European philosophies, practices, and beliefs, which the authors propose could be deployed to unontologize the settler within current historical conditions. Asserting that such a process is not volitional but a historical necessity, the book offers a novel and timely investigation into who settlers become if they intend to engage seriously in decolonization. It will appeal to an interdisciplinary audience of scholars and researchers in psychological science, social psychology, counseling, philosophy, indigenous studies, and sociology.Sticking It Out: From Juilliard to the Orchestra Pit: A Percussionists's Memoir
By Patti Niemi. 2016
&“By turns reflective and dramatic, poignant and hilarious, Sticking It Out offers an irresistible portrait of the artist as a…
young percussionist&” (San Francisco Chronicle). When Patti Niemi was ten years old, all the children in her school music class lined up to choose their instruments. Boy after boy chose drums, and girl after girl chose flute—that is, until it was Patti&’s turn. From that point onward, Patti devoted her life to mastering the percussive arts. Cymbals, snare drum, marimba, timpani, chimes: she practiced them all, and in 1983, she entered Juilliard, the most prestigious music conservatory in in the world. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing New York City in the 1980s, Sticking It Out recounts Patti&’s years mastering her craft and struggling to make it in a cutthroat race to a coveted job in an orchestra. Along the way, she has to compete with friends, face her own crippling anxiety, and confront the delicate, and sometimes perilous, balance of power between teachers and their students. Bringing us inside a world that most of us never get to see, Patti&’s vivid memoir is &“an eye-opening tale of demanding teachers, grueling practice schedules, severe performance anxiety and bias against &‘girl drummers&’—a funny, poignant first-person account of the fierce commitment it takes to succeed in classical music&” (San Jose Mercury News). &“One of the funniest-ever classical-music books . . . and certainly among the best written.&” —The Philadelphia Inquirer &“A shattered-mirror insight into the bizarre world of hitting things with sticks.&” —Neil Peart, bestselling author, lyricist, and drummer for RushWarum Musik in unseren Genen liegt

Wussten Sie, warum Johann Sebastian Bach ganz legal lange Finger machte? Und was Sie alles mit einer Haarlocke Mozarts anfangen…
könnten, wenn Sie sie besäßen? Beides könnte Sie auf die Spur eines uralten Geheimnisses bringen, nämlich warum Menschen Freude am „Hervorbringen musikalischer Töne“ haben, wie Darwin es formulierte. Liegt das wortwörtlich in unserer DNA und was hat es dort zu suchen? Die Autoren sind in gefährlicher Nähe am Felsen der Sirenen vorbei gesegelt und haben Orpheus in die Unterwelt begleitet. Sie haben den Weg von Schallwellen von ihrer Quelle bis zum Gehirn der Hörenden verfolgt und ebenso den Stammbaum der Familie Bach wie den Gesang von Zebrafinken analysiert. Schließlich sind sie nicht nur in den Sonderzug nach Pankow gestiegen, sondern haben auch noch die Caprifischer in ihrer Heimat aufgesucht. Alles in allem ist eine unterhaltsame und informative Analyse dessen entstanden, was vom alten Ägypten bis in heutige Zeit die Faszination von Musik im Spiegel unserer Gene ausmacht.Reworked: Putting Health and Happiness at the Centre of Your Career
By Stephanie Fitzgerald. 2023
We're raised to believe that we will have jobs and work. Our school system is designed in part to educate…
us so we can find a good job afterwards. Yet no-one ever tells you how to work. No one ever sits you down and tells you how to be at the centre of your work, how to get the most out of your role and how to be happy, healthy, safe and engaged in the workplace. Lacking this knowledge, work often veers off and feels wrong. Panicking, we change and start again somewhere else, thinking 'it's not me, it's the job'. And then the process begins again.In a post-COVID19 world where redundancies are high, and job opportunities are low, never has it been so essential to learn how to be happy and healthy at work. Literature advocating that you 'love it or leave it' is not applicable or helpful in a squeezed job-market. Not many have the privilege of being able to up and leave their job, and even if you do there is no guarantee of happiness if you don't know the rules or understand how to work well and be well at work.Unless you do the work, you can change jobs as often as you like but still never find the elusive happiness you seek. Jumping from job to job will not provide you with the answers, unless you can first rework yourself and shed yourself of the burden of inherited cultures, past beliefs and historical mistakes.Reworked utilises neuroscience, evidence-based psychology and two decades of working in health and wellbeing to teach you how to be happy, healthy, safe and engaged at work. These are the four key pillars which run throughout the book. A book to empower, inspire and ignite a passion for happiness at work, Reworked will teach you everything you need to rethink, reimagine and reinvent yourself, as you always wanted to be, in the workplace.Cytokine and Chemokine Networks in Cancer
By Manzoor Ahmad Mir. 2023
Cytokine and Chemokine Networks in Cancer" provides a comprehensive exploration of the roles of cytokines and chemokines in cancer biology.…
It offers valuable insights into their diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic implications, making it a valuable resource for researchers, clinicians, and students interested in the field of cancer immunology and therapy. This book illustrates the importance and significance of the cytokine and chemokine signaling networks in tumor development and progression. It describes the complex networks mediated by cytokine and chemokine receptors promoting tumor cell proliferation, site-directed metastasis, and activation of angiogenic switch in tumor cells. The books also shed light on the heterogeneity of cytokines and chemokine in solid malignancies and their impact on tumor progression and therapeutic outcomes. The chapters provide current information about the types of cytokine-chemokine interactions in promoting cancer stem cell-like characteristics, epithelial to mesenchymal transition, and modulation of the tumor microenvironment. The significance of the complex interactions in cancer biology in the light of therapeutic resistance is also highlighted. The chapters also describe recent advancements in the therapeutic potential of targeting the pro-tumor cytokine and chemokine networks and limiting tumor cell metastasis. Finally, the book also provides a comprehensive yet representative description of a large number of challenges associated with targeting these vital chemokine-cytokine networks. Given its content, the book provides valuable information for researchers in the field of cancer biology and molecular medicine.Verstorbenen-fokussierte Trauerbewältigung: Ein alternativer Ansatz
By Frank E. Eyetsemitan. 2023
Herkömmliche Trauermodelle konzentrieren sich auf die Hinterbliebenen, einschließlich der Maßnahmen, die sie ergreifen müssen, um nach dem Tod eines geliebten…
Menschen wieder zur Normalität zurückzukehren. Dieses Buch schlägt vor, dass es im Trauerprozess hilfreich sein kann, sich stattdessen auf den Verstorbenen zu konzentrieren. Die Forschung weist auf die Vorteile altruistischer Handlungen und Gedanken hin, einschließlich der Verbesserung der Stimmung. Altruistische Handlungen und Gedanken können auch auf den Verstorbenen ausgedehnt werden, der im Tod ebenfalls einen Verlust erlitten hat. Indem man die Perspektive des Verstorbenen einnimmt und ihm gegenüber empathisch ist, kommt es zu einer "Reaktionsverschiebung", die bei den Hinterbliebenen zu einer Verbesserung der Stimmung und zu Glück führen kann. Das Buch enthält Leitlinien für dieses alternative Trauermodell beim Tod eines Kindes, eines Teenagers, eines Ehepartners/Partners und eines Geschwisters sowie bei mehreren Todesfällen und bei anhaltender Trauererfahrung unter anderem. Auf der Grundlage von Motivationsprinzipien wird auch ein Arbeitsbuch zur Überwachung der Fortschritte bei der Trauerbewältigung bereitgestellt. Zu jedem Kapitel gibt es Verständnisfragen und zusätzliche Lektüre, die dem Leser helfen, das jeweilige Thema zu vertiefen.Dieses Buch eignet sich für Lehrveranstaltungen zum Thema Tod, Sterben und Trauer, für Angehörige der Gesundheitsberufe und Trauerberater sowie für Wissenschaftler, die sich mit Tod, Sterben und Trauer in verschiedenen Bereichen wie Psychologie, Soziologie, Sozialarbeit, öffentliches Gesundheitswesen und Religion beschäftigen.Die meisten Trauermodelle konzentrieren sich auf die Hinterbliebenen, einschließlich der Maßnahmen, die der Überlebende ergreifen muss, um nach einem Verlust wieder zur Normalität zurückzufinden. Im Trauerprozess kann es jedoch hilfreich sein, die Aufmerksamkeit stattdessen auf den Verstorbenen zu lenken. Indem die Hinterbliebenen Dinge tun, die sie als angenehm für den Verstorbenen empfinden, können sie im Gegenzug Heilung und Zufriedenheit erfahren.Lisa Farino (2010) stellt fest, dass es nicht an Forschungsergebnissen mangelt, die auf die positiven Auswirkungen der Konzentration auf andere hinweisen. In einer Studie von Carolyn Schwartz und Rabbi Meir Sendor (1999) wurden Laien, die an einer chronischen Krankheit litten, darin geschult, anderen, die dieselbe Krankheit hatten, mitfühlende, bedingungslose Zuwendung zukommen zu lassen. Die Ergebnisse zeigten, dass die Geber von Fürsorge und Mitgefühl über eine bessere Lebensqualität berichteten als die Empfänger von Fürsorge und Mitgefühl, obwohl sowohl die Geber als auch die Empfänger dieselbe Krankheit hatten. Die Geber zeigten tiefgreifende Verbesserungen in Bezug auf Selbstvertrauen, Selbstwahrnehmung, Selbstwertgefühl, Depression und Rollenverhalten. Die Forscher betonten die positive Bedeutung der "Reaktionsverschiebung" (die Verschiebung interner Standards, Werte und Konzeptdefinitionen von Gesundheit und Wohlbefinden) im Umgang mit der eigenen Notlage. Farino (2010) merkt an, dass diese Forschung von großer Bedeutung ist, da in der westlichen Kultur die Überzeugung vorherrscht, dass man sich glücklich fühlt, wenn man etwas für sich selbst bekommt. Die Vorstellung, dass "Geben besser ist als Nehmen", hat einen biologischen Ursprung. Mit Hilfe der funktionellen Magnetresonanztomographie (fMRI) konnten Forscher einen Zusammenhang zwischen Gehirnaktivität und Geben nachweisen. Bei Menschen, die freiwillig und für einen guten Zweck gaben, wurde der Teil des Gehirns, der für Freude und Glück zuständig ist, stärker aktiviert (z. B. Harbaugh, Mayr & Burghart, 2007).Studien zeigen, dass etwa 7 % der US-Bevölkerung an einer komplizierten oder lang anhaltenden Trauerstörung leiden (z. B. Kersting et al., 2011). Dabei handelt es sich um anhaltende Trauer, die nicht abklingt, und viele Eltern neigen dazu,Clinical Mental Health Counseling: Fundamentals of Applied Practice
