A timely contribution in this era of authoritarianism, right-wing populist movements, identity formation, and political correctness."In groups the most contradictory ideas can exist side by side and tolerate each other, without any conflict arising from the logical contradiction between them", wrote Freud in his 1921 book Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego. One hundred years later, in an age of war, social networks, and ubiquitous threats to democracy, the questions raised by Freud are as relevant as ever. In today's mass and group formations, psychological processes and mechanisms can be recognized as they were described by Freud a century ago: compliance, hypnotization, regression, idealization, identification, and fusion with the Other. This anthology is the result of an interdisciplinary conference organized by the Sigmund Freud Museum, Vienna. In their contributions, scholars from psychoanalysis, philosophy, sociology and literary studies present critical re-readings of the text and focus on current issues such as the rise of right-wing populist movements, the role of the narcissistic leader, and mass phenomena in the digital age.

Competition permeates various facets of our lives, from the job market to sports arenas, influencing resource allocation, recognition opportunities, and societal dynamics. However, entrenched notions in social sciences, particularly the assumption of a linear correlation between competition and inequality within free-market systems, can limit perspectives. This book challenges such assumptions, delving deeper into the multifaceted nature of competition dynamics. Drawing from extensive literature and empirical data across diverse systems, cultures, and eras, it offers readers a nuanced understanding of competition's complexities. Contrary to prevailing beliefs, competition's roots are not solely tied to Western individualism and capitalism. By examining competition through cultural, economic, and political lenses, this book enables readers to recognize that such an assumption represents only a selective portion of competition dynamics. By embracing an interdisciplinary approach, this book encourages readers to reevaluate their perspectives on competition, recognizing its varied sources and consequences beyond conventional paradigms.

This book aims to bring to readers the author's elaborated focus on the dynamic process of sign emergence, use, fixation and un-fixation, and dismissal. Its uniqueness is in its reliance on the organizing limits of irreversible time that renders the meaning construction by human beings to be constantly open-ended to face the uncertainties of the immediate future. This book emerged from a 9-month series of seminars at the Department of Semiotics at Tartu University in 2021-2022 as a Vaelis-Eesti Kuelalisprofessor, during which the linkages between semiotics and cultural psychology were scrutinized. In collaboration with doctoral students from various countries, the present SpringerBrief outlines the theoretical innovations that the author started during the seminars but completed in the two years after their end.

Van Hezewijk, Rene / Stam, Henderikus J., The Indispensability of Phenomenology, Experiment and History: Life and Work of Johannes Linschoten. (Theory and History in the Human and Social Sciences) 286 pp. 2024:12 (Springer, GW) <736-1403>
ISBN 978-3-031-74390-0 hard ¥32,952.- (税込) EUR 139.99

This book is the first comprehensive intellectual biography of Johannes Linschoten, whose work has been credited with helping to bring down the Utrecht School of phenomenological psychology. The authors show this to be a mistaken assumption in the light of Linschoten's entire oeuvre and demonstrate his importance for an understanding of a phenomenological psychology that necessarily coexists with an experimental, scientific psychology. In the Netherlands, Linschoten is particularly appreciated for his last book, published posthumously. That volume, Idols of the Psychologist, took a critical look at phenomenological psychology and its pretensions while simultaneously acknowledging that a phenomenological outlook is a necessity for beginning any kind of experimental investigation. Most commentators on this book considered Linschoten a convert from phenomenology to experimental psychology, but have either ignored his earlier, substantive work or have not seen the importance of the intellectual context for his final work. By examining his life and the full extent of his voluminous writings, this book demonstrates Linschoten's importance for the development of psychology in the Netherlands and beyond. It will shed new light on the life and work of Johannes Linschoten as well as the Dutch school of phenomenology and its postwar contributions to psychology in Europe and North America. Furthermore, for the first time, this book brings together important aspects of Linschoten's life with his prodigious output. It demonstrates how his life and work created a unique psychology that deserves to be continued and developed.

心の初期の時代－現代哲学・心理学の形成
Verburgt, Lukas M. (ed.), The Early Years of Mind: Making Contemporary Philosophy and Psychology. 432 pp. 2025:3 (Oxford U. Pr., UK) <736-107>

The Early Years of Mind offers a panoramic overview as well as in-depth accounts of the first decades of Mind - one of the leading philosophical journals since almost 150 years. Founded in 1876 by Alexander Bain, it soon published some of the best new work in Anglophone philosophy and psychology, containing contributions from major and once well-known but today largely forgotten authors, from Herbert Spencer to Bertrand Russell and from J.M.E. McTaggart to E.E. Constance Jones. Mind's ambition was to provide a platform for study and discussion of the scientific status of philosophy and psychology, whose intellectual and professional standing and boundaries were yet unsettled. A focus on the contents of Mind in the first forty years of its existence not only helps unearth a revealing historical picture of the major topics, themes and traditions that dominated philosophy at the turn of the nineteenth century, including evolutionary thinking and the rise of idealist and analytic philosophers. It also makes it possible to recognize their relevance to present-day endeavours. Mind's contributors addressed issues that still (or, sometimes: again) concern us today: What is the relation between philosophy and psychology? Should philosophers be knowledgeable of the latest scientific advances, and if so, how? What is the significance of philosophy for the natural and exact sciences? And what for society? Last but not least, a close look at Mind under George Croom Robertson and G.F. Stout offers a forceful reminder of the prominent role of women philosophers in Britain and America, participating in philosophical and psychological discussion despite numerous constraints. Bringing together a diverse team of eminent and emergent scholars, this pioneering volume tells the fascinating story of Mind's early years and, in so doing, sheds light on larger questions about the history of philosophy and psychology at a time of disciplinary self-experimentation.

Sigmund Freud's theories and clinical practices focused primarily on individuals. As such, they are rarely considered when critiquing collective behavior or symbolic re-presentations. However, as the founder of depth psychology - a field of study that considers how unconscious components of the human experience influence psychological conditions - Freud understood the collective nature of thought and behavior. While his ideas are not typically a perspective applied to the study of media and popular culture, of audiences, or of content creation, once unpacked through a psychoanalytic lens, Freud's theories shine a bright light on human motivation and expression. This book is the first presentation of his ideas within this context. It is primarily an introduction to Freud and his theories intended for a communication studies audience. In addition to summarizing Freud's major concepts, how/when/if they are taught in psychology programs, and the resultant "Freud Wars," this book offers examples of application of his ideas to cinema, advertising, public relations, and other forms of expression and recommendations for future research. There are implications and applications to the everyday world as well for anyone interested in how theories of human development, beginning with childhood personality construction through adult sexuality, repression, and expression, can be understood through a contemporary lens. "Of all of the contentious and oft-misconstrued figures in the history of ideas, few provide such a thorny and frustrating subject as Sigmund Freud. In this short-butsubstantial book, Deb Merskin gives us a considerate and approachable understanding of Freud's work. She begins with a biographical sketch of Freud, builds on this foundation to outline the full spectrum of Freud's theoretical interventions. With the basic rhythms and motifs established, Merskin then combines all of these elements to develop a symphonic sense of what Freud's ideas can contribute to communication and media studies, with emphases on social theory, film theory, advertising, political communication, media psychology, and cultural studies. Here is a true introduction to Freud's ideas as they relate to communication and media studies." -David W. Park, Lake Forest College

Radical Freud reveals a radical dimension to Sigmund Freud's sexual theory that has previously been neglected.Thomas Olver argues that Freud's radical heritage has been transformed into an orthodox school with an internal stasis that is unassailable from within but increasingly challenged from without as irrelevant. Olver offers a return to the radical elements of Freud's work, first by reviewing the ways in which Freud's pioneering sexual theory has been vulgarised since his death, and recentring his texts. The bisexuality thesis is then reconstructed, based on a close reading of key texts, and contrasted with the better-known Oedipus theory. Olver then explores the philosophical and clinical consequences of this parallel line of sexual theory.Radical Freud will be of great interest to psychoanalysts as well as to academics and scholars of psychoanalytic studies, gender and queer studies, sociology, anthropology, history and philosophy.

An engaging guide for cultivating assertiveness to live a happier life.Confidence and decisiveness are critical life skills that many people struggle to develop. For readers who want to take charge of their lives, The Four Paths of Assertiveness provides an indispensable guide to developing and practicing this crucial ability. Youth advocate Scott Cooper and psychologist Naoki Yoshinaga identify four categories of assertiveness-social, behavioral, emotional, and mental-and explain how to hone these skills to live a happier life and develop healthier relationships.Cooper and Yoshinaga expand the definition of assertiveness to include the core elements of speaking up, jumping in, embracing compassion, and accepting life. Speaking up is critical for standing up for ourselves. Jumping in helps us achieve our goals. Embracing compassion supports us in responding to the universal challenge of suffering, including our own. And accepting life means coping with ups and downs. Each chapter focuses on how to practically develop these four aspects of assertiveness and features tools for how to apply these strategies in everyday life.Grounded in decades of happiness studies and current trends in behavioral psychology, this guide teaches readers how to live intentionally while staying true to themselves and strengthening their relationships.

Based on three years of meta-research into team effectiveness and coaching, this book explores some of the most common contradictions and debates around the topic of team coaching and presents readers with a framework to enable them to explore this field for themselves, reflecting on their own experience and drawing their own conclusions.Team coaching in organisations is still a relatively new discipline, with industry associations having only recently defined their first attempts to frame team coaching in the form of standard skills and competencies. As a new discipline we still see multiple perspectives on what team coaching is, and how it should best be practiced. The literature abounds with paradox and contradictions. Within this book Lawrence delves into these contradictions and debates, providing a framework to encourage readers to construct their own practice model.Covering both theory and practical application, this will be a useful guide for both experienced team coaches and those entering the field.

This book offers an up-to-date handling of C. G. Jung's Theory of Synchronicity and the more mainstream paranormal phenomena known as extra-sensory perception (ESP) and psychokinesis (PK), collectively referred to as 'psi'.Author Lance Storm re-works various aspects of synchronicity, traditionally marginalized by parapsychologists, to bring about a paradigm shift in the field. Most often seen as fundamentally different, the book draws parallels between psi and synchronicity and equates the two, arguing that psi was all along a form of synchronicity - just as Jung had anticipated. To achieve this, Storm necessarily modifies both the parapsychologist's view about psi, and Jung's views about synchronicity, enabling a satisfactory merger of the two paranormal phenomena.Based on rigorous scientific research and written in an easy-to-understand style, this book is an important resource for specialists such as anomalistic psychologists, parapsychologists, philosophers, paranormalists and theologians.

The Political Psychology of Social Unrest in Latin America is a unique collection of research and writings by Latin American scholars. It explores the social, psychological, and political factors of the recent turmoil in Latin American countries.From the ongoing political crisis in Venezuela, the impeachment demonstrations in Brazil, student movements in Chile, and massive demonstrations in Chile, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, Venezuela, and Nicaragua, this edited volume analyses the underlying similarities and differences between these events through the lens of diverse research traditions, methods, and researchers. The book examines both actual inequalities and disadvantages as well as the role of perceptions of inequality and injustice. The authors also investigate the role of micro-processes, such as cultural consumption in the family, and the role of social psychological processes in historical Latin American unrest. By utilising leading approaches in social and political psychology and testing these approaches in the context of a very diverse and dynamic non-WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic) societies, the authors bring the communities and civilizations less studied by Western social psychologists to the international audience.Focusing on how social and political processes unfold in different countries and providing insights into the psychological underpinnings of social unrest from a variety of perspectives, this is an essential reading for students and researchers of psychology, social, political, peace and cross-cultural psychology as well as political science and sociology.

A deep dive into the importance of daily communication and how we can harness its power to create a better life We spend much of our waking lives communicating with others. How does each moment of interaction shape not only our relationships but also our worldviews? And how can we create moments of connection that improve our health and well-being, particularly in a world in which people are feeling increasingly isolated? Drawing from their extensive research, Andy J. Merolla and Jeffrey A. Hall establish a new way to think about our relational life: as existing within "social biomes"-complex ecosystems of moments of interaction with others. Each interaction we have, no matter how unimportant or mundane it might seem, is a building block of our identities and beliefs. Consequently, the choices we make about how we interact and who we interact with-and whether we interact at all-matter more than we might know. Merolla and Hall offer a sympathetic, practical guide to our vital yet complicated social lives and propose realistic ways to embrace and enhance connection and hope.

By situating their history through critical genealogy, within an analysis of the larger social relationships of power in both the competitive sporting context and the field of sport and exercise psychology (including patriarchy, sexism, racism, classism, ableism, and homonegativity), an effort is made to illuminate their political lineages and how these individuals utilized social justice theories and critical reflexivity in their work.The fourfold purpose of this brand new and cutting edge volume is to: 1) frame the critical genealogy and political lineages of leaders in the field of sport and exercise psychology who have promoted social justice in their work; 2) provide an autobiographical sketch for each of the authors that chronicles the ways their life experiences and trajectories have influenced their respective philosophies of social justice; 3) flesh out how those philosophies are evidenced, both implicitly and explicitly, in their work; and 4) illustrate how a social justice framework has informed their respective consulting philosophies.Social Justice Through Sport and Exercise Psychology: Intergenerational Voices and An Embodied Approach is key reading not only for scholars, students and practitioners in the field of sport and exercise psychology but also those in the subdisciplines of sport sociology, athletic training, and strength and conditioning as well as licensed professional counsellors, licensed clinical social workers, and certified athletic trainers.

Bringing together theorists and practitioners of psychoanalysis to interrogate Lacan's notion of extimitE In 1960, Jacques Lacan coined the neologism extimitE (extimacy) to denote a structure of subjectivity in which the most intimate, internal core is already external, thus complicating the traditional philosophical dualisms and binaries that have informed traditional notions of subjectivity. This collection is the first sustained interrogation of the concept of extimacy, comprising contributions on various topics by leading and emerging philosophers and scholars of psychoanalytic theory from around the world. This international collection also includes key perspectives from practicing psychoanalysts and presents a variety of critical inquiries into the concept of extimacy for application in multiple disciplines beyond philosophy and in an array of methodological and thematic frameworks.

Unpacking the central role of the unconscious in the relationship between mind and world Over a series of careful readings and accessible discussions, prefaced by a foreword from Eric Santner, Dominik Finkelde analyzes the central role of the unconscious in the relationship between mind and world. Moving beyond Freud, Kant, and Hegel and toward the contemporary work of the Ljubljana School, he explores how humans relate to facts and the influence of the unconscious on questions regarding truth, perception, and meaning. Aspects of recognition and unconscious processes of transference are at stake in these fundamental questions of perception and knowledge, though these have been widely ignored in epistemological and ontological debates in contemporary philosophy. Finkelde draws on both the continental and analytic traditions, ultimately building from the work of current-day interlocutors to interrogate questions concerning the influence of enigmatic signifiers, the role of sublime objects of ideology, the importance of fantasy cultivation and transgression, and the power of jouissance as an ontological factor.

Drawing on over four decades of professional and academic experience, Susan Long explores how the concept of the unconscious has evolved from the 19th to the 21st century, showing that it is more than an individual phenomenon, but also a group, organisational, and institutional phenomena.Each chapter examines theories that use the idea of the unconscious, first covering the work of Schelling, Freud, Bion, and Lacan. After examining traditional psychoanalytic ethos, the author takes a look at the mid-twentieth century extension of the meaning of the unconscious towards the social field. Here, she explores three main traditional categories of approaches: the Neo Freudians, the Frankfurt School, and Social Scientists, Historians, and Anthropologists. The book also covers the idea of approaching the unconscious from the perspective of the neurosciences, as well as its connections with nature, showing a broader, more cosmic view of the unconscious in nature and the universe. Lastly, Long looks at how we might understand today's organisations and society through the lens of the changing ideas presented throughout the book. Broad sweeping and accessible, this book is a valuable resource for organisational psychologists, consultants, and managers exploring psychoanalytic and socioanalytic approaches, as well as those in academic settings wanting to pursue an interest in the unconscious.

The long-awaited Revised Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud (RSE) is founded on the canonical Standard Edition (SE) translation from the German by James Strachey, while adding a new layer of revisions and translations. Conceptual and lexicographic ambiguities are clarified in extensive new annotations. Drawing on established conventions and intellectual traditions, the Revised Standard Edition supplements Freud's writing with substantial editorial commentaries addressing controversial technical terms and translation issues through the lens of modern scholarship-a living text in dialogue with itself and the reader. The RSE also includes 56 essays and letters which were not included in the SE. In the RSE text and footnotes a subtle underlining distinguishes, in an easy and accessible way, Mark Solms's revisions and additions, from the historical translation and commentaries of James Strachey's Standard Edition. Readers can examine what Strachey contributed before the revisions in tandem with Solms's updates, new translations, annotations, and commentaries, collectively bringing Freud's text and Strachey's translation into dialogue with five decades of research, including the most recent developments in the field. Commissioned by the British Psychoanalytical Society and co-published by Rowman & Littlefield, the Revised Standard Edition brings together decades of scholarly deliberation concerning the translation of Freudian technical terms while retaining the best of Strachey's original English translation.This landmark work will captivate a wide audience, from interested lay readers to practicing clinicians to scientists and scholars in fields related to psychoanalysis. Special Features: * New Freud material, including 56 notes, essays, and letters that were not included in the Standard Edition. They reveal new insights into Freud's views on such topics ashomosexuality and religion * New content underlined to identify changes to the Standard Edition, including corrections of mistakes in the original translation as well as new, clearer translations of many passages * New annotations in the margins providing the original German technical terms * New and updated editorial material and translation notes * New glossary concerning the translation of all key terms * New photographic illustrations * New and massively expanded Freud bibliography * Entirely revised 24th volume, a major scholarly work, including a comprehensive index for the whole set * Cross-referencing to the earlier SE is facilitated by the addition of page numbers in square brackets in the margins

Sigmund Freud's work has influenced the modern world in many profound ways. The "father of psychoanalysis," Freud wrote numerous works wherein his psychoanalytic perspectives were applied to history, society, religion, and other cultural phenomenon. By expanding his psychoanalytic theories into these realms, Freud insured his place within the disciplines of philosophy, sociology, history, theology, and religious studies, wherein his works are still studied. More specifically, his psychoanalytic theories were adopted, revised, and expanded upon by philosophers and sociologists, such as Theodor W. Adorno, Erich Fromm, Herbert Marcuse, Juergen Habermas, Jacques Derrida, Julia Kristeva, Gilles Deleuze, Judith Butler, Slavoj Zizek, and many others, who in some cases radicalized the latent political content within Freud's thought, using it to critique modern industrialized capitalism and theorize about the possibility for alternative forms of societies more conducive towards mental health. Although Freud is often marginalized, or even denigrated, we think there are still elements within the corpus of Freud's work that are valuable for both diagnosing social problems and addressing such problems psychoanalytically. The book demonstrates the lasting relevancy of Freud's thought to a variety of disciplines, as they diagnose a myriad of social issues.

Bruno, Nicola, A Conceptual History of Psychophysics: Ernst Weber's Law of Desire. 75 pp. 2024:8 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <734-54>
ISBN 978-3-031-66596-7 hard ¥8,235.- (税込) EUR 34.99

This book explores the concept of psychophysics and details the development of the ideas which made the mathematisation of desire possible. The experience of desire accompanies us all throughout life, but dealing with it as psychologists and scientists is far from easy. Psychophysics was conceived to help map, mathematically, these unknowable feelings of desire. As such, this book will help to provide an accessible account of psychophysics while telling the story of its creation, which was, in essence, the birth of scientific psychology and contemporary cognitive neuroscience, alongside many of the technologies which characterize the contemporary world. It is a strange and intriguing story, which begins with the German physiologist Ernst Heinrich Weber in the first half of the nineteenth century, and its story will help the reader gain fresh insight into how scientists came to be able to map and quantify complex and private emotional states.

This second edition of Happiness Across Cultures contains 8 brand new chapters on previously uncovered topics, such as Covid19, refugees, and violence. Different cultures experience happiness differently. Traditionally, the West is considered materialistic, and happiness is said to come from achievement and acquisition. The East is said to be more people-oriented, where happiness is a result of deep personal interactions. Thus, poor people can be happier in the East than the West, because they are not so concerned with possession and more with society. This new edition considers happiness and quality of life in non-Western countries and cultures. Its coverage is now more diverse and spans the breadth of the non-Western world, revealing unique perspectives of happiness and life quality embedded in rich cultural traditions and histories.

This book provides an overview of changes in legislation in Australia concerning both family law and child protection law. The topic is important as the Australian Government has identified that the rate of mental disorder in some cohorts of children is high and rising. These cohorts of children live in families where they are vulnerable because they are exposed to risk factors that can be changed by a coordinated effort from parents, therapists, and lawyers. The aim of the book is to identify psycho-legal concepts that need to be understood by professionals who work in the fields of child custody and child protection, and to bring these concepts together to improve coordination between the two fields of practice. The purpose of the book is to be a practice manual for professionals from the disciplines of law, social work, and psychologists who work in specialized legal roles dealing with families where children are vulnerable to developing mental health difficulties. Volume 1 of the book provides a perspective from a mental health clinician about concepts and principles that arise in Australian family-oriented courts, and that need to be shared between disciplines. This book proposes that some concepts be identified as psycho-legal as the concepts need to be shared between disciplines who work with court-involved families. The book also proposes that psycho-legal concepts be shared between the jurisdictions of child custody and child protection. In this book, proposals are made to improve collaboration between disciplines and to maximize the best interests of children.

ISBN 978-981-9758-57-9 hard ¥35,306.- (税込) EUR 149.99

This book identifies a number of topics that arise in child protection where assessments of individual families are required. The author opines that it is essential to use structured instruments when making assessments on complex topic about risk to reduce bias and to maximise objectivity. The author summarises criteria that are required for an assessment instrument to be viewed by scientists as being objective. The book proposes that introducing more objective assessment instruments into the field of child protection will: improve the focus and brevity of assessment reports; and enable setting of thresholds that distinguish between families who provide good-enough parenting from families who should be referred for parenting education, and from parents who are unfit parents. The author identifies a number of topics that commonly arise in cases where maltreatment of children is alleged, reviews literature, and proposes checklists that can be used to gather data and to form a basis for developing validated assessment instruments for use in child protection. The topics identified are relevant both to therapists as parenting practices can be changed using focused therapy, and for legal assessment purposes as topics have been shown to be related to legal concerns about the safety and welfare of children. The overall aim of this book is to encourage greater use of scientific assessment approaches in the field of child protection.

ISBN 978-3-031-69737-1 hard ¥32,952.- (税込) EUR 139.99

This book offers an explorative analysis of the intersections between Jacques Lacan and Michel Foucault that challenges the prevailing notion of incompatibility between their intellectual projects. It proposes an interpretive framework that aligns Foucault's relationship to Kantian critique with Lacan's theory of the four discourses from Seminar XVII: The Other Side of Psychoanalysis (1969-70). Exploring multiple periods of each thinker's work, the book examines how the conceptual trajectories represented by Foucault and Lacan might be effectively combined to advance a new form of Foucauldian-Lacanianism. The book is divided into two parts. Part I, "The Hysteric," introduces a novel interpretation of Foucault's genealogical method in the early to mid-1970s. Drawing on Lacan's schema of the Hysteric's discourse, it understands hysteria as a mode of address within which Foucault's critical historiography can be situated. This perspective positions Foucault as a discoursing subject, challenging the uncontested remnants of Kant's transcendental legacy. Part II, "The Analyst," offers a retrospective of Foucault's earlier work through a consideration of Lacan's claim that analytic experience begins with the hystericiziation of discourse. It examines the period between 1979-1984, analyzing significant modifications and shifts in Foucault's work including his reconceptualization of critique. Part II interprets Foucault's re-alignment with Kant's critical legacy as retroactively constituting the conditions of transformation from the Hysteric to the Analyst's discourse. Using newly available English translations of Foucault's lectures and Lacan's seminars, the book offers a novel rereading of Foucault's genealogical method, his relation to Kantian critique, and psychoanalysis. It provides fresh insights for students and scholars of psychoanalysis, philosophy, and critical theory.

ISBN 978-3-031-70332-4 hard ¥30,598.- (税込) EUR 129.99

This book breaks down barriers between disciplines engaging with flow, by speaking from geography into psychology to establish geographical foundations for this psychological phenomenon. It frames and works with the multiple contradictions within the extant literature as productive rather than prohibitive, thereby encouraging collaboration across discrepancies as well as across disciplines. It incorporates new materials and perspectives to research on flow, including aesthetic theory, new materialism, more-than-human geographies, and critical development geographies to broaden the theoretical and empirical landscape of future flow scholarship. It also digs more deeply into pre-existing areas of interest within flow research than has been done before, for example, with respect to 'dark' flow, 'flowability' and (tele)presence, to facilitate more nuanced engagement with such terms. It takes a step back from the detailed empirical work that characterizes most current flow research to pose questions as to how such divergent, even contradictory, findings can emerge from scholarship on a supposedly universal experience that is purportedly robustly constructed, and whether this contrariness is necessarily problematic or emblematic of flow itself and therefore worthy of conceptual elaboration. Finally, it evokes global scale and long-term critical perspectives on the future evolution of flow to counteract the presentism within existing work that emphasizes immediate gains (e.g., performance, wellbeing, profit), in an attempt to pre-empt the worst ramifications of the progressive commodification and strategization of flow. This innovative book is of interest to scholars from a range of fields, from psychology, to business and human resource management, leisure studies, and critical human geography.

It has been decades since Freud fell out of favour, not only in mainstream psychiatry but also in radical thought, where both he and Lacan were accused of sexist and class biases. A People's History of Psychoanalysis refuses to accept this growing depoliticization of a formerly revolutionary field. Florent Gabarron-Garcia shatters the comfortable narrative of psychoanalysts as armchair theorists placidly interpreting family complexes sheltered in their consulting rooms. Recalling Freud's radical moments (such as his promotion of free clinics in Weimar Germany), or lesser-known figures including the Marxist Feminist psychoanalyst Marie Langer, his new history delves into how revolutionary ferment has cross-fertilized the exploration of the unconscious. A People's History of Psychoanalysis is for those who wish to resist the conformist, therapist-centered, and repressive management of madness under contemporary capitalism.

ISBN 978-3-031-68318-3 hard ¥32,952.- (税込) EUR 139.99

This book -the first of a two-volume monograph- seeks to unify the hitherto perceived-as-disparate foundations of psychology and artificial intelligence. It does this by replacing their constitutive notions with a novel common one: noemon system. The ensued Theory of Noemon Systems is developed in terms of an interdisciplinary, language- based, axiomatic approach. The first volume details the development of the foundations of the theory and expounds ramifications for cognitive science and AI including novel solutions to the AGI debate and Darwin's mental gap issue, while o?ering the first complete definition of AI. The book concurrently explores the similarities and di?erences between humans and AI/robot systems with respect to the evolution-dependent phenomena of representation, thinking, understanding and communication. The book is an extensive one; because of it's extensiveness and broad ramifications, this book will appeal to scientists working on the interfaces of psychology, AI, philosophy of mind, neuroscience, and the humanities. The complicated and extensive unification of the fields of Artificial Intelligence and psychology is continued in the second volume that breaks further new ground for both disciplines, with thought-provoking and compelling implications for both.

This book, the second of two-volumes, builds on the unification of Artificial Intelligence and Psychology to explore its consequences. In doing so, this volume unifies three pivotal phenomena of Cognitive Science and AI: knowledge, consciousness and emotions. The extended Theory of Noemon Systems expounds ramifications for cognitive science, philosophy of mind, mathematics, and the issue of the unity of science and art. It also discusses the similarities and differences between humans and AI/robot systems with respect to consciousness, emotions and scientific knowledge. As with the first volume, this book will appeal to scientists working on the interfaces of psychology, AI, philosophy of mind, neuroscience, and the humanities. The complicated and extensive unification of the fields of Artificial Intelligence and psychology breaks entirely new ground for both disciplines, with thought-provoking and compelling implications for both.

ISBN 978-981-9999-96-5 hard ¥28,244.- (税込) EUR 119.99

This book, drawing from internationally renowned scales like Bayley and Gesell, develops a child developmental assessment scale based on research data from Chinese children. It stands as a meticulous creation of the Capital Institute of Pediatrics, a national-level institution for children's development research in China. The scale demonstrates good reliability and validity, meeting psychometric standards in various statistical aspects. In the revised scale, developmental quotients are classified into six levels, distributions of percentiles for developmental quotients are provided, and screening indices for autism spectrum disorders are added. In doing so, the revised scale can not only identify developmental delays but also concurrently screen for autism spectrum disorder risks, providing a foundational reference for tracking children's developmental status in follow-up studies. The book holds vital value and significance in fostering communication among scholars from universities and research institutions, as well as pediatricians, neurologists, and rehabilitation specialists in hospitals.

This Volume of Annals of Theoretical Psychology highlights the fact that the flourishing aftermath of both Freud's and Lacan's ideas still exist. This is done in different ways. Some papers focus on rereading core texts of Freud and Lacan. Others apply Freud's and Lacan's principles in a new and contemporaneous actuality. Others again, transform and develop some of the core principles in psychoanalysis, whereas others discuss the scientific principles that lie behind psychoanalysis. This book will be important for scholars interested in psychoanalysis in general. The readers should be both clinicians and others interested in psychoanalysis all over the world.

This book examines questions of experimental design, in social science principally concerning what happens if shortcuts are allowed in the design, analysis, and interpretation of psychological research. The author argues that shortcuts lead to experimental results that are of low power and lack the precision that should be afforded experimental work. Consequently, it should not be surprising that psychological science has difficulty replicating its findings. A more specialized focus is the lack of success of self-esteem training techniques despite their widespread usage. The failure of self-esteem training is contrasted with the success of work that involves the use of standardized testing procedures and scores, such as IQ. From this perspective, while self-esteem and IQ testing have been each proposed as Hole Grails, meaning that they constitute comprehensive influences on many aspects of behavior, only IQ can function in this manner. It is also argued that some areas of social science, particularly unconscious bias, have not been subjected to sufficient critical scrutiny, and therefore are associated with rather weak empirical profiles that do not justify the popularity of the procedures. Throughout the book, the work habits of modern scientists are contrasted with those of one of science's most successful practitioners, Charles Darwin, and to a lesser extent, Sigmund Freud. Contrasts between the historically-validated work of Darwin on the one hand, and modern psychological science, suggest avenues of methodological improvement in the practice of modern psychological science.
