This book aims to re-vision economics by taking a Jungian view of the recent global economic crisis of the 2010s, focusing on Greece's challenging experience in particular. Recognizing the genius loci of Greece by taking a terrapsychological approach allows Greece to be an active participant in the discussions rather than purely an object to be studied. Observing the crisis through the lenses of myth ology, cultural complexes, and the god-image deepens the understanding of modern-day economics. These viewpoints reveal the unconscious and archetypal elements at play in the dysfunctions. Exposing the foundational issues is critical to redeeming economics and confirms the value in seeing socioeconomic issues from a Jungian perspective. The issues revealed through the exploration are not unique to Greece, but rather reflect many of the fundamental problems of the current global economic system. Thus, like its ancient myths, Greece's modern-day story of suffering has insights for today's world.The audience for this book includes and extends beyond Jungian psychology, and will also appeal to some in the field of economics and those interested in the application of Jungian ideas to sociocultural issues.

Fundamentals of Learning: A Behavioral Approach discusses the basic mechanisms of learning. It highlights how most behaviors are learned through minimal amounts of cognitive processing and acquired through associations between stimuli, such as observed in classical and operant conditioning (associative learning) and repeated experiences with a single stimulus (non-associative learning).Together, in combination with innate or instinctual behaviors, these forms of learning account for the acquisition of an impressively wide range of behaviors and played a crucial in the evolution of species as it permitted them to adapt to changing environments. The book begins by tracing the history of learning theory, acquainting students with the philosophers and early researchers who contributed to learning theory. It then goes on to cover theoretical explanations of the basic learning mechanisms, including theories of classical and operant conditioning. The modular approach of the book enables students to link the concepts they learn about in the text to their own behavior. The book concludes with a discussion of the role of cognition in learning covering behaviors that are considered to be less automatized and mediated by cognitive processes, such as the formation of spatial maps and the processes involved in decision-making and motivated behaviors.The book is written with the student in mind throughout, featuring real-life case studies, key terms and learning objectives. It is also accompanied by an eBook+ featuring in-chapter videos, alongside online resources such as lecture slides, class assignments, and multiple choice questions. It will be a must-read for all students of learning and behavior, or animal learning.

Within this fascinating new volume, a group of prominent Jungian writers seek to explore the apparent contradiction between two aspects of Jungian thinking: one that points in the direction of a genuinely radical relational psychology, and another which seems to struggle to engage meaningfully with what we might call the psychosocial dimension.Jung's work is centrally concerned with what is often referred to as the problem of opposites, for example, his notions of introversion and extraversion. In biographical terms, this is expressed in the split between Jung's outward-facing and inward-facing personalities. Because Jung identified himself as an introvert, the question arises as to how this might have shaped his psychology. Recent scholarship has often brought attention to the problematics of Jung's engagement with collective life and the political. In the spirit of maintaining the kind of dialectical tension that Jung urged, this series of papers seeks to explore one-sidedness in analytical psychology with particular emphasis on how we theorize the immediacy of encounter with others.This unique collection will be of particular value to scholars and clinicians within the Jungian world, as well as relationally-oriented psychoanalysts with an interest in becoming more conversant in Jung.

A Psychoanalysis of Act and Action brings together the study of the philosophy of action and Jacques Lacan's psychoanalytic theory.Drawing on the works of Freud and Lacan, this book examines desire and the unconscious as key frameworks for understanding action. Londono-Paredes explores key premises in the philosophy of action, while demonstrating how these may fall short in light of Lacan's ideas. The book proposes an alternative to dominant philosophical interpretations, exploring Lacan's framework through concepts such as the graph, the act, the transgressive act, acting out, and passage a l'acte. The paradoxes of action, along with forms of action that carry moral and symbolic weight are examined from a psychoanalytic perspective, helping us to understand the interpretive boundaries of action. By intertwining philosophical and psychoanalytic perspectives with clinical illustrations of real crimes, the book offers a fresh approach to action and act.A Psychoanalysis of Act and Action will be essential for psychoanalytically informed readers interested in Lacan. It will also be of interest to academics and scholars of the philosophy of mind and action, cultural studies, and mental disorders.

Adolescents in Crisis offers a psychoanalytic perspective on the complex that can arise when young people renegotiate their relationship with the world and their own bodies as they experience puberty.This edited collection explores the tension adolescents often experience between their wish to change and develop and their desire to lean into stasis to maintain their pre-pubescent way of relating to their own self and others. Covering the period from pre-teen years to the dawn of adulthood, and including clinical vignettes throughout, the contributors look at issues such as isolation, self-harm, eating disorders, gender identity and delinquent behaviors which are often used as defense strategies against the feelings of powerlessness and inadequacy that puberty can invoke. Each chapter draws on traditional and contemporary psychoanalytic thought to help the reader understand these anxieties and provide guidance on how the therapist, parent and adolescent can work through them together, allowing the young person to explore new ways of managing their anxieties.Part of the 101 Kids books series, this book is an invaluable resource for psychoanalysts and psychotherapists working with young people, as well as teachers, social workers and parents dealing with adolescents in difficulty.

The Great Psychology Delusion takes an unflinching look at some of the foundational assumptions of psychological science. Exploring long-standing unanswered critiques of psychological research in a way that is detailed but accessible, the book brings together a wealth of material that challenges our understanding of what the science of psychology really is, and how the subject matter of that science should be conceived.Identifying a Great Delusion (that there is a coherent discipline of psychology with sound foundations), the authors explore a number of more specific delusions regarding scientific practice in psychology. These include the problematic assumptions of core statistical analyses, questionable aspects of frequently used experimental designs, and continued frictions regarding the much-aspired-to scientist-practitioner model. The delusions produce the uncomfortable state in which we find much of modern psychological science - theoretically challenged, poorly replicated, and with questionable real-world value.This unsentimental examination of the state of things nevertheless allows the authors to identify concrete steps that the scientific community can take to re-ground psychological research and move forward to a successful science studying the richest and most complex phenomena we know of: us.This book will interest all people interested in psychological science, from undergraduate students to researchers.

A great effort has been made in contemporary Western culture to move beyond jealousy in our private lives. This collection takes the temperature of jealousy today - how does it show up in the clinic? Does this differ from how it used to? What can be said of how jealousy functions both psychically and socially?Clinicians and writers working from within a Lacanian psychoanalytic framework explore the concept and unpack not only its numerous guises and forms, but its founding effects both on the level of the individual and the social. The question as to where jealousy is located today leads to a deeper look at the feeling's origins: its close relation to identification and with envy, its interaction with early infantile complexes, its constant interplay with the social realm and its systems of governance, and its complex expression of ambivalence towards the maternal.This book is for anyone interested in psychoanalysis, be they readers or historians of psychoanalysis, or clinicians looking for ways to approach jealousy in their practice. It is also for anyone who knows what it is to suffer jealousy, which if Freud was right, is most of us.

ISBN 978-3-031-87456-7 hard ¥28,244.- (税込) EUR 119.99

This book is the first comprehensive monograph devoted to the work of Theodor Lipps (1851-1914), a major figure in German intellectual life of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, who is today mostly remembered as a pioneering theorist of empathy and a key figure in the history of aesthetics. Although Lipps's thought has gained in recognition in recent years and his ideas resonate with many fields of current research, to date no systematic analysis of his work has appeared. The present monograph aims to fill this historiographical gap by revisiting the key aspects of his oeuvre, namely, his contribution to psychology, the theory of empathy, epistemology and logic, the theory of science, metaphysics, ethics, aesthetics, and the theory of language. Based on a careful analysis of Lipps's writings, it pays special attention to how, in each of these eight domains, his ideas evolved from the late 1870s to the early 1910s, while placing them in their intellectual context and addressing the question of their reception and critical fortune. The book also discusses the significance and topicality of Lippsian thought in light of recent advances in philosophy and science, especially in affective science, social cognition, and aesthetics.

After the research psychologist Barbara Blatchley's husband and partner of thirty-six years passed away, her life changed utterly. Seeking to understand the pain and confusion she felt, Blatchley began exploring the psychology and neuroscience of bereavement. Why does grief last so long and hurt so much? How do we come to terms with loss?In Sorrow's Long Road, Blatchley interweaves an engaging and reader-friendly look at the research on grief with her powerful personal narrative. Beginning with the day of her husband's death, she traces the questions that loss raised and the answers that science provides. Blatchley examines the psychology of love and attachment, detailing how we bond with others and what happens when those bonds are broken. She considers the storm of emotions that the bereaved experience, as well as both the physical and psychological effects of grieving. Blatchley maps out how we adapt to the changes that loss brings and find a new identity afterward. In addition to her own experiences, she shares the stories of other people who have suffered a loss and struggled to recover, illustrating how grief changes over time.Accessibly written and deeply empathetic, Sorrow's Long Road humanizes the science, showing how psychology and neuroscience can help us make sense of the darkest times in our lives.

ISBN 978-1-009-49212-6 hard ¥29,683.- (税込) GB￡ 105.00

Answering the question of 'How have you become the person you are today?' encourages people to build their narrative identity, referring to their ever-changing, internalized life story. Life stories are grounded in autobiographical memory and provide the basis for the experience of personhood; that is, the experience of being an individual with a past, present, and future in a certain culture at a certain time. Traditionally, researchers have approached the study of life story psychology either by focusing on autobiographical memories or through narratives of individual memories, life story chapters, or entire life narratives. This book is the first to bring these isolated approaches together to reveal new perspectives on how people construct their identities and understand their lives across time and cultural contexts. Featuring chapters by leading experts, it offers a thorough introduction to both approaches that enriches our understanding of life story psychology.

Ecker, Patrizia A., The Digital Reinforcement of Bias and Belief: Understanding the Cognitive and Social Impact of Web-Based Information Processing. (Palgrave Studies in Cyberpsychology) 114 pp. 2025:4 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <749-1377>
ISBN 978-3-031-89997-3 hard ¥9,412.- (税込) EUR 39.99

This book explores how digital environments amplify confirmation bias, shaping the way individuals consume, create, and recall information. Focusing on web-based platforms such as social media and online news, the book examines the role of active content creation and temporal dynamics in reinforcing existing beliefs and perpetuating cognitive feedback loops. Through original research and case studies, it highlights the interplay between algorithmic curation, participatory engagement, and misinformation spread in online spaces. This book fills a critical gap in research on the psychological mechanisms underlying bias formation in the digital age. It provides insights for tech leaders, media experts, and policymakers seeking to understand and mitigate the cognitive and societal impact of online information processing. By bridging the fields of cyberpsychology, media studies, and artificial intelligence, it offers strategies for fostering more balanced digital ecosystems.

Freiherr von Fircks, Enno, Culture of Action: Contributions to Ernest Edouard Boesch's Psychology. (Theory and History in the Human and Social Sciences) 202 pp. 2025:7 (Springer, GW) <749-1378>

This book is designed to engage psychologists from diverse specialties while also serving as a valuable resource for practitioners operating in clinical and non-clinical settings alike.

Freiherr von Fircks, Enno, Studying Leadership from a Microgenetic Perspective: Towards a Cultural-Psychological Theory of Leadership. (Methodologies in Developmental Sciences) 252 pp. 2025:5 (Springer, GW) <749-1379>
ISBN 978-3-031-90213-0 hard ¥35,306.- (税込) EUR 149.99

This book presents a new theoretical and methodological framework to study leadership from a cultural-psychological and developmental perspective. This framework includes a new theory - called Small Act Psychology - and a new methodology to analyze leader-follower interactions in irreversible time. This perspective is inspired by current microgenetic (aktualgenese) developmental research within the wider domain of Cultural Psychology. Drawing on Kurt Lewin's field-theory, E.E. Boesch's Symbolic Action Theory and L.S. Vygotsky's semiotic theory, the present work defines leadership socially, and hence from a qualitative perspective, contributing to the development of a cultural-psychological theory of leadership. This new approach seeks to break with the current prevailing paradigm of the leadership research centered round the big-hero myth and interpreting leadership as a personal quality of a given person. It also aims to feel a gap within the general literature about qualitative leadership by proposing an encompassing and wholistic theory and methodology to make sense of leader-follower interactions from a developmental perspective. After presenting this new theory and methodology, the book also presents the results of empirical ethnographic and autoethnographic studies in which the new framework was applied. These studies provide not only empirical proof how leadership can be understood from a field-theoretical perspective but also show how leadership trajectories can change depending on specific interventions, providing evidence to the developmental nature of leadership as a social phenomenon. Studying Leadership from a Microgenetic Perspective: Towards a Cultural-Psychological Theory of Leadership will be of interest to organizational and educational researchers, as well as qualitative psychologists in any domain of psychology striving for a theory that makes sense of leadership dynamically, and developmental psychologists interested in seeing how developmental approaches can be adopted in the study of a wide range of social phenomena.

ISBN 978-3-031-91785-1 hard ¥37,660.- (税込) EUR 159.99

This book shows how the Bioecological Theory of Human Development (BTHD) can be applied to the study of violence against children. Originally developed by Urie Bronfenbrenner to understand human development in general, BTHD offers a powerful framework to carry out a systemic analysis of the multiple levels of risk and protective factors associated with violence against children and provides the tools to develop interventions that go beyond the focus on the individual, addressing wider contextual factors. The chapters of this book present various typologies of violence that can manifest in family, school, community, institutional, and structural contexts, viewed through the lens of the Bioecological Theory of Human Development. The key concepts of Person, Process, Context, and Time serve as the foundation for a critical analysis of the factors that render children vulnerable to experiences of violence. The chapters also aim to showcase research and interventions developed by psychologists who have dedicated their work to studying violence against children in a variety of different contexts. Violence Against Children: Contributions of the Bioecological Theory of Human Development to Research and Intervention will be of interest to researchers in fields such as developmental psychology, education and social work who are interested in understanding violence from a systemic theoretical perspective, culturally situated within various realities. It will also be a useful resource for professionals working with children victim of violence, such as social workers, teachers and mental health practitioners, empowering them to engage in ethically and politically committed actions that drive the necessary social transformations for effectively combating violence against children worldwide, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, social class, religion, or citizenship status. The original manuscript of this book was written in Portuguese and translated into English with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content.

Klempe, Sven Hroar, From Metaphysics to Culture: Music as a Factor in the Emergence of Modern Psychology, 1750-1900. (Theory and History in the Human and Social Sciences) 209 pp. 2025:4 (Springer, GW) <749-1382>
ISBN 978-3-031-89594-4 hard ¥32,952.- (税込) EUR 139.99

This book is a follow-up to the book Tracing the Emergence of Psychology, 1520-1750: A Sophisticated Intruder to Philosophy (Springer 2020). In contrast, this new book covers the period 1750-1900. Whereas the previous book focused on how psychology intervened in philosophy and theology, the perspective now is how philosophy and psychology tried to free themselves from each other. Kant's critical project formed an important start on this. Nevertheless, this was a struggle during the whole period, with a culmination at the end of the 19th century. When experimental psychology was established in Leipzig, psychology became regarded as an independent science. Another aspect of this new project is to pursue how experimental psychology ended up with music and culture as important factors. These are highly related to the role of sensation in psychology, which influenced how Baumgarten turned the psychological project into aesthetics in 1750. Thus, psychology in dialogue with music and aesthetics forms the red thread in this book. This book targets all interested in the history of psychology.

Monzo, Diogo, Distributed Free Improvisation: A Cultural Affective-Semiotic Perspective on Creativity. (Palgrave Studies in Creativity and Culture) 169 pp. 2025:8 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <749-1384>
ISBN 978-3-031-87864-0 hard ¥9,412.- (税込) EUR 39.99

This book presents a new model to visualize and understand the creative process in free improvisation: the Interactive Dimensions of the Creative Flow (IDCF). Drawing on theoretical work on distributed creativity and the author's background as a professional pianist, this short monograph establishes provocative dialogues between the field of music and the cultural psychology of semiotic dynamics to investigate human interactions involved in the act of creating. New empirical data and literature research on improvisation are used to discuss the historical and sociocultural factors behind collective and collaborative processes. In this context, the Distributed Free Improvisation Model offers a new theoretical and methodological innovation to the study of musical improvisation, which is presented as the result of a musical practice that develops in a community, in sociocultural contexts, through multiple interactions from which the senses and meanings of what is produced emerge. An inspiring read for students, professionals, and researchers in the field of cultural psychology, music improvisation, and creativity studies, this book opens new pathways to the study of creative processes and affective semiosis.

Samuels, Robert, The Global Solution to AI: Risks, Rhetoric, Ideology, and Psychoanalysis. 126 pp. 2025:5 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <749-1386>
ISBN 978-3-031-90785-2 hard ¥28,244.- (税込) EUR 119.99

This book interrogates the notion that artificial intelligence may represent a threat to the world because it lacks both empathy and reason and suggests that - if we do not intervene to limit and control AI - we are at risk of being overtaken by machines, which are not aligned with human ethics and values. To outline how we should counter the worst tendencies of automated intelligence, we must first understand the roots of morality and reason and why we have been misunderstanding the fundamental difference between humans and computers. Moreover, by critiquing the rhetoric and ideology of AI proponents, we can gain a clear understanding of the need to regulate our machines on a global basis through global treaties. Turning to Freud's theories of empathy and reason from his Project for a Scientific Psychology, this book outlines why the human mind is different from AI, and why this difference is important to recognize.

This handbook brings together the two rapidly growing subfields of psychology, Positive Psychology and Health Psychology. It provides evidence-based and theory-driven perspectives on the potential benefits of focusing on and cultivating character strengths, positive states and traits for optimizing physical health and related outcomes in both general and medical populations. The handbook is divided into four sections, with the first three covering classic Western positive psychological domains and their relations to physical health: Hedonic well-being (Positive Emotions), Eudaimonc well-being (Meaning, Purpose and Values), and Character Strengths. The fourth section takes a novel Eastern perspective to positive states and traits by examining the role of mindfulness and self-compassion in health-related pathways and outcomes. This handbook provides an overview of how positive psychological concepts and interventions can be integrated into research and practice aimed at improving people's health. It offers a valuable resource for students and scholars of psychology, and mental and behavioural health; as well as for physicians and allied health professionals.

Diffusion decision models are widely used to characterize the cognitive and neural processes involved in making rapid decisions about objects and events in the environment. These decisions, which are made hundreds of times a day without prolonged deliberation, include recognition of people and things as well as real-time decisions made while walking or driving. Diffusion models assume that the processes involved in making such decisions are noisy and variable and that noisy evidence is accumulated until there is enough for a decision. This volume provides the first comprehensive treatment of the theory, mathematical foundations, numerical methods, and empirical applications of diffusion process models in psychology and neuroscience. In addition to the standard Wiener diffusion model, readers will find a detailed, unified treatment of the cognitive theory and the neural foundations of a variety of dynamic diffusion process models of two-choice, multiple choice, and continuous outcome decisions.

This textbook provides an up-to-date guide to theories within psychology and sociology relevant to understanding the major life transitions within adulthood and older age and demonstrates how they can be applied in practice. In doing so, it offers a psychosocial approach that will equip readers to meet the combined physical, psychological and social needs of those in their care. In this book the impact of biological factors on adult experience is acknowledged alongside a careful exploration of the socially constructed nature of different stages of adulthood across the lifespan. In its analysis of developmental stages, the book covers key issues of current concern including emerging and early adulthood, 'the sandwich generation' (those caring for both their children and their parents), later life, medicalisation, neurodiversity, long term and degenerative conditions, bereavement, and grief. Both vulnerabilities and ways to enhance resilience encouraging healthy ageing are examined. Utilising practice-oriented case studies and reflective questions it illustrates how psychosocial perspectives may be applied within family, workplace, health, and social care contexts. It offers under graduate and graduate students of social work, nursing, mental health, education, psychology, human development, gerontology and ageing, the tools needed to evaluate the interlocking psychosocial factors influencing the lives of adults at different stages of life.

Zeller, Gerhart / Engstrom, Eric J. / Berrios, German E., A History of 'Unitary Psychosis': A Contribution to the Historical Epistemology of Nineteenth Century Psychiatry. (Theory and History in the Human and Social Sciences) 199 pp. 2025:7 (Springer, GW) <749-1393>
ISBN 978-3-031-90181-2 hard ¥35,306.- (税込) EUR 149.99

Gerhart Zeller's prize-winning 1961 study of the history of the concept of unitary psychosis has never before been published in German or English. To date, the manuscript remains by far the best historical account of the early development of the concept in Germany. The editors' introduction analyzes Zeller's monograph on three temporal levels. First, as a rediscovered original contribution to historical scholarship on nineteenth century psychiatric classification. Second, as an historical document in its own right, situated on the threshold between the murderous atrocities of the Holocaust and the psychiatric reforms of the 1970s and '80s (Psychiatrie-Enquete). Third, as a unique contribution to post-Neo-Kraepelinian discourse and to the critiques of contemporary psychiatric nosologies (DSM) and research agendas (RDoC). In helping to elucidate the historical evolution of dimensional approaches to psychiatric classification, the monograph is likely to resonate within wider current biomedical trends toward personalized medicine and molecular diagnostics, and to find a readership among psychiatric practitioners and historians alike.

This innovative book, Physical activity, physical fitness and depression, brings together critical reviews of issues in the relationship between physical activity, fitness and depression, stimulating individual reflection and including debate on current research, methodologies, and applied practices. This book helps the reader understand the magnitude of depression as a disease that has increased its prevalence in recent decades and the other health problems associated with it. Since psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy are often used to treat depression, this exponentially increases health costs for national health systems. In addition, there are always side effects associated with pharmacotherapy. Therefore, other ways, less expensive and without side effects for treating depression are important. Physical activity, physical fitness and depression outlines the ways that physical activity and physical fitness are viable options for preventing and treating depression. Designed as a supplementary textbook,Physical activity, physical fitness and depression is key reading for students and academics alike in the areas of Sports Science, Sport Psychology, Sports Therapy, and Psychology and with its thematic content, the book's allure extends to professionals, including practitioners, psychologists, psychiatrists, and sports organisations, who stand to gain valuable insights from its contents.

Research methods (and statistics) underpin much of the work undertaken in applied sport psychology settings and remains at the heart of scholarship in undergraduate and postgraduate courses and professional practice training. Students benefit from learning to understand, synthesise, and critique research in their field of study; however, to learn these skills, they need suitable precepts to guide their learning.This new textbook combines five main areas within applied sport psychology: 1. Conceptual issues about science and knowledge. 2. Research process (ethics, planning research, etc.) 3. Methods (designs, sampling, surveys, interviews, etc.) 4. Data Analysis (parametric/non-parametric tests, qualitative methods etc.) 5. Reporting research (writing a journal article. Presented in four main sections to cater to the ranging needs of students at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, Research Methods in Applied Sport Psychology begins with an introduction to conceptual issues within sport and exercise psychology to orient the student about science and knowledge before examining the planning, designing and starting of research projects. The book then goes on to explore the various methods and issues that arise in research then introduces data analysis for qualitative and quantitative research.This new text, the first to examine research methods specifically for sport psychology is key reading for all sport and exercise psychology undergraduate and post-graduate students as well as invaluable reading for students on sport and exercise science courses who are set to undertake a research project.

This book unveils the hidden secrets of psychoanalytic thought for the field of sport integrity, sport ethics and the social sport sciences. It presents several inviting conceptual frameworks to unveil the opportunities in applying psychoanalysis to sport. Psychoanalysis brings the uncomfortable truth that 'reality' is only accessible through the impasses of subjective imagination. Thanks to psychoanalysis, we have become aware that an undetermined part of human actions might originate from an unconscious part of the psyche. This unconscious is not reducible to (a physical part of) the brain but covers our whole being. As such, psychoanalytic thought represents a secret but no less influential discourse on the roots of modern sport, a discourse that focuses on the libidinous origins of sport. A challenging turn to make for the currently dominating field-of-knowledge about sport. This book aims to explore the potential of a psychoanalytic approach in improving sport integrity, by presenting a diverse conceptual framework. The aim is to open up to the opportunities a psychoanalytic analysis offers, without pretending to be exhaustive, as there are many different roots and schools in the field of psychoanalysis. This book was originally published as a special issue of Sport, Ethics and Philosophy.

Jung and Star Wars is a comprehensive deep dive, analyzing the Star Wars phenomenon from the perspective of analytical psychology as a living mythology in our time.Drawing from Jungian perspectives, as well as the influence of both Joseph Campbell and James Hillman, this book examines the rich characters and history of the saga using concepts developed in the field of analytical psychology. It explores Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm in 2012 and the concept of canon, as well as examining the Force and a number of iconic characters, including Yoda, Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Princess Leia Organa, and more. By coming to understand the psychological ground of its mythic aspects, we learn to see Star Wars as a grand narrative of the human condition.With Star Wars being ubiquitous in mainstream pop culture, this book will be of interest to both Jungian analysts and scholars, as well as academics in the fields of film studies and popular culture, offering a fresh and lesser-known perspective on depth psychology.

This book explores cross-cultural similarities and differences of human subjectivity and selfhood through the concept of selfscapes.Utilizing an ethnographic and person-centered approach to the study of human subjectivity, Selfscapes, Selfhoods, and Subjectivities demonstrates that autopoietic processes are informed by both the constraints of a social and material ecology acting on a particular person and by how that person is remembering and habitually responding to that history of engagement with the world. While the co-constitution of social and historical circumstance and individual reactivity and memory is universal, the way an autopoietic process unfolds within any given social ecology will vary, sometimes greatly, from person to person. Drawing on a broad theoretical base, this book is essential reading for anthropologists, psychoanalysts, social psychologists, and anyone seeking to understand the varieties and particularities of human subjectivity and selfhood.

Due to shifting demographic trends and the increased need for workers, immigration continues to grow in many parts of the world. However, the increased diversity that immigration creates within societies is also associated with intergroup friction, perceived threat, and the rise of extremist right-wing nationalist movements, making it a central political issue that impacts societies globally. This book presents a psychological explanation of the immigration challenge in the 21st century and the ongoing backlash against immigrants by examining within nations and beyond national borders. It explains the relationship between immigration and national identity through an analysis of the intersection of globalization, deglobalization, and collective behavior. Addressing a crucial gap in existing literature, it applies a psychological perspective on immigration and offers new solutions to address the complex challenges facing minorities, asylum seekers, undocumented immigrants, and host society members.

A landmark volume in the scientific study of identity formation and youth development, this fully revised second edition synthesizes sociological and psychological approaches to the study of identity. It illuminates the challenges and opportunities that contemporary young people face as they attempt to form identities in societies undergoing transition.The book introduces Simplified Identity Formation Theory, which helps newcomers connect the dots across a broad and promising area of study. Part I places the "identity question" in historical and cultural context, providing a multidimensional framework for studying the developmental dynamics of identity formation. Part II examines the development of perspective-taking and moral reasoning, exploring their relationship to ethics and agency in identity formation. Part III investigates scientific evidence concerning identity formation in various societal contexts, implications for understanding youth mental health problems, and the most promising treatments, programs, and practices for addressing the identity issues young people face today.This book is an essential text for advanced undergraduate and graduate students studying self and identity development within developmental psychology, social psychology, clinical psychology, and sociology. Educators and practitioners in child welfare, mental health services, social work, youth and community work, and counselling will also benefit from its introductory and jargon-free nature.
