Koh, Kyung Bong, Body, Mind and Spirituality: A Resilience-Enhancing Approach. 191 pp. 2026:1 (Springer, GW) <762-84>
ISBN 978-3-032-11213-2 hard ¥26,286.- (税込) EUR 99.99

The purpose of this book is to help health professionals learn how to enhance resilience in patients with serious health problems such as somatizing disorders and specific physical diseases who are usually resistant to psychosocial approach. Furthermore, this book will be able to help the general public learn how to enhance resilience and promote health in difficult situations. 'Resilience-enhancing approach' (REA) refers to a variety of therapeutic modalities enhancing resilience, that is, biopsychosociospiritual approach. It includes biological therapy (psychopharmacotherapy), stress management, cognitive behavioral therapy, and spiritual approach. Therefore, therapists should have knowledge about resilience and spirituality as well as these therapeutic modalities. A variety of clinical cases are illustrated, helping therapists understand how to enhance resilience in patients with somatizing disorders and specific physical diseases. Therefore, the REA can be not only a therapeutic but also a preventive intervention.

Sanchez, Gustavo, A Rebel Unconscious: Interrogating the Desire for Social Change in Chile's Estallido. (Studies in the Psychosocial) 207 pp. 2026:1 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <762-850>
ISBN 978-3-032-12274-2 hard ¥36,802.- (税込) EUR 139.99

This book offers a novel approach to social change by challenging conventional views of the emancipatory nature of political movements. Focusing on the 2019 Chilean revolt, it empirically demonstrates the contradictory ways in which socially desirable experiences are unconsciously organised. Drawing on interviews and observations with politically engaged scholars, the book systematically maps unconscious fantasies that offer solutions to the uncertainty surrounding emancipatory identifications. Its central claim is that alienation is not the opposite of emancipation but its very condition. A Rebel Unconscious will appeal to readers interested in contemporary popular uprisings, struggles against neoliberalism, and the unconscious dimension of everyday life. It makes an important contribution to psychosocial and Lacanian studies by extending the interpretive reach of fantasy to encompass emancipatory experiences.

Espindola, Ernesto, The Paternal Imago in Ruins: Messianic Leadership and Constitutional Instability in Ecuador. (The Palgrave Lacan Series) 165 pp. 2026:1 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <762-855>
ISBN 978-3-032-07506-2 hard ¥36,802.- (税込) EUR 139.99

This book offers a Lacanian interpretation of Freud's Moses and Monotheism to explore the enigma of constitutional instability in Ecuador-a country that has sanctioned twenty constitutions since independence. Drawing on historical archives and psychoanalytic theory, Ernesto Espindola argues that existing literature underestimates the affective investments of political elites in constitutional 'abolition-replacement events', often led by charismatic or authoritarian figures. Through a Lacanian discourse analysis of Ecuador's 1869 and 2007-2008 Constituent Assemblies, and the 2015 reform abolishing presidential term limits, the book examines the ideological grip of messianic leadership and its relation to heroic identification, the paternal imago, and the fantasy of national redemption. Espindola shows how constitutional instability in Ecuador is not merely a legal or institutional phenomenon, but one deeply entwined with unconscious desires, symbolic attachments, and the repetition of political trauma. Engaging with Lacan, Freud, and the Essex School of Discourse Analysis, this book offers a novel framework for understanding the psycho-political dynamics of constitutional change in postcolonial contexts. It will appeal to scholars in political theory, psychoanalysis, Latin American studies, and cultural studies.

Dahl, Audun, Between Fixed and Fickle: Why Our Moral Views Keep Changing. 304 pp. 2026:4 (Harvard U. Pr., US) <762-64>
ISBN 978-0-674-29208-6 hard ¥7,854.- (税込) US$ 35.00

A psychologist explains why-and how-moral views change across different life stages, situations, and historical eras.We like to believe that moral truths are obvious and unchangeable: cheating is wrong, killing is wrong, slavery is wrong. Yet people have often cheated, killed, and enslaved without regret. The acts that feel glaringly wrong to us in the here and now can seem fine to someone who is younger, or faces different circumstances, or lived a century ago.Why does morality appear so unstable? The popular explanation is that emotions, self-interest, and social pressure easily divert people from moral concerns because they lack sincere moral commitment. But the evidence shows otherwise. Drawing on studies of young children, adolescents, and adults, Audun Dahl argues that human morality is neither immutable nor capricious, neither fixed nor fickle. Rather, people change their moral views when they believe they have good reasons to-reasons that they can articulate to themselves and would endorse for others.The science of moral change cannot resolve our ethical dilemmas: it does not tell us what's morally right or wrong. But it can help us understand why we have moral views in the first place, why those views keep changing, and why moral views that seem obvious to us aren't obvious to everyone else. Separating moral psychology from moralizing, Between Fixed and Fickle reveals what's behind our changing agreements and disagreements as we travel toward shared and hard-won moral truths.

Maher, Max, Symptom Invented: Lacan and the History of Marxism. (The Palgrave Lacan Series) 290 pp. 2026:1 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <762-58>
ISBN 978-3-032-12266-7 hard ¥26,286.- (税込) EUR 99.99

This book is about Jacques Lacan's place in the history of Marxist thought. It argues that psychoanalysis, as understood by Lacan, represents a radical departure from the Marxist tradition and its politics-but also that the political value of psychoanalysis can only be properly understood in this context. Lacan's psychoanalytic theories are an increasingly popular resource for intellectuals on the left, who use them to critique the psychic conditions for the functioning of capitalism, and its impact on unconscious mental life. In doing so, however, they tend to make Lacan's position with respect to Marx seem obvious, and to overstate the potential for an alliance between the two. This book studies key movements in twentieth-century philosophy and science, to show how Lacan's work asks many of the same questions Marxists were concerned with, and responds to a number of the same impasses they encountered. At the same time, however, the book demonstrates how the different approaches Lacan makes to these points of crisis break explicitly with the Marxist tradition. The book contributes in particular to debates opened up by the philosophers of the Ljubljana School, including Slavoj Zizek and Samo Tomsic. It will be useful for readers interested in the contribution of psychoanalysis to political philosophy, and in the history of twentieth-century political philosophy more generally.

Orban, Judit, Quantifying Executive Coaching: Exploring predictors, outcomes and coaching effectiveness. 190 pp. 2026:1 (Springer, GW) <762-337>
ISBN 978-3-032-11841-7 hard ¥31,544.- (税込) EUR 119.99

In recent years, executive coaching has emerged as a significant leadership development intervention, yet questions remain about its true impact. Specifically, there is limited clarity on whether coaching benefits a select few or a broader population, and on what constitutes successful coaching outcomes. While research on training has progressed to become an empirically grounded and theoretically robust discipline, interventions focused on 'soft skills' such as coaching remain far more challenging to evaluate empirically. The lack of consensus regarding who benefits most from coaching, and how outcomes should be defined and measured, underscores the continuing need for rigorous inquiry. This book responds to these challenges by combining academic research with extensive practitioner experience to explore predictors of individual suitability for coaching and to examine valid, reliable methods for measuring coaching outcomes and return on investment. In doing so, it aims to address critical gaps in both scholarship and practice. The book provides valuable insights for academics, researchers, practitioners, and organisations seeking to strengthen leadership development and succession planning strategies.

高齢期における発達
Zittoun, Tania, Developing in Older Age: An Integrative View. 280 pp. 2026:5 (Cambridge U. Pr., UK) <762-250>
ISBN 978-1-009-50465-2 hard ¥31,993.- (税込) GB￡ 105.00

Despite rising life expectancies and growing attention to the increasing proportion of older persons in rich democracies, we still know surprisingly little about how people develop after 60. This book proposes an integrative approach to development in older age that expands sociocultural psychology across the life course. It shows that people develop into older age while acting, feeling, remembering, imagining, and moving in the spaces where they live and interact with others. The diversity and singularity of ageing trajectories is also studied, highlighting how deeply the environment can guide and support as well as expand upon or offer resources to older persons. The author demonstrates the role of carefully designed social and institutional settings and well-planned ageing policies in fostering 'ageing in place'. By exploring housing, formal and informal care networks, and everyday arrangements that help older persons live meaningful lives, this volume speaks to anyone concerned with ageing.

van der Klink, Jac / Rothmann, Sebastiaan (eds.), Capabilities at Work: The Added Value of the Capability Model for Well-Being and Work. 200 pp. 2026:6 (Cambridge U. Pr., UK) <762-212>
ISBN 978-1-009-60054-5 hard ¥31,993.- (税込) GB￡ 105.00

This book examines how the capability approach offers fresh ways to think about work, well-being, and social justice. It argues that work should not only provide income but also empower people to achieve their life goals, develop skills, and participate fully in society. Drawing on research and real-world examples, Jac van der Klink and Sebastiaan Rothmann show how organisations and policies can enhance employees' health, satisfaction, and capabilities. The chapters explore how human resource management, public administration, and organisational leadership can create fairer workplaces by removing barriers that limit potential, improving the quality of work, and ensuring access to opportunities for all. A key theme is equity: work should reduce disparities and foster inclusion across gender, socio-economic, and cultural divides. Timely and relevant, the text appeals to academics, practitioners, policymakers, and advocates seeking practical ways to make work more meaningful. This title is also available Open Access on Cambridge Core.

ISBN 978-1-009-38911-2 hard ¥36,564.- (税込) GB￡ 120.00

Everyone has experienced loneliness - perhaps briefly - perhaps for many years. This handbook explores why people of all ages can become lonely, and features steps that can be taken by individuals, communities, and entire societies to prevent and alleviate loneliness. Chapters present rigorous scientific research drawn from psychology, relationship science, neuroscience, physiology, sociology, public health, and gerontology to demystify the phenomenon of loneliness and its consequences. The volume investigates the significant risks that loneliness poses to health and the harmful physiological processes it can set in motion. It also details numerous therapeutic approaches to help people overcome loneliness from multiple perspectives, including traditional and cognitive psychotherapy, efforts to connect individuals to their communities, and designing communities and public policies to create a greater sense of social connection. Using accessible terminology understandable to a non-medical audience, it is an important work for social science scholars, students, policymakers, and practitioners.

Hunger and starvation have significantly shaped the human condition. The imprints of past famines continue to cast lasting shadows on our evolutionary relationship with food, highlighting starvation as a powerful cognitive force. This book explores the nature of human hunger primarily from a psychological perspective, covering its basis in the brain, its critical dependence on learning and memory, and the dramatic effect of starvation on morality and behaviour. It connects the biology and psychology of hunger with historical and social examples including hunger strikers, hunger artists, disordered eating, and hunger as a weapon. Human experimental studies of deep starvation are also analysed, alongside case studies of the 'super hungers' in Prader-Willi syndrome, binge eating, and dementia. Delivering a comprehensive and interdisciplinary picture of human hunger and starvation, this book is an ideal resource for students and researchers interested in ingestive behaviour from a multidisciplinary perspective.

Valsiner, Jaan, Culture in Minds and Societies: Foundations of Cultural Psychology. 2nd ed. (Theory and History in the Human and Social Sciences) 409 pp. 2026:2 (Springer, GW) <762-1186>
ISBN 978-3-032-11634-5 hard ¥47,318.- (税込) EUR 179.99

Culture in Minds and Societies: Foundations of Cultural Psychology presents a new look at the relationship between people and society, produces a semiotic theory of cultural psychology and provides a dynamic treatment of culture in human lives. This book makes a decisive break from the post-modernist theoretical framework that considers knowledge as local and situation-specific. It restores the goal of construction of general knowledge to the social sciences. While recognizing the uniqueness of all human personal experience from birth to death, it emphasizes the universality of cultural organization of human minds and societies.

Selau, Bento / Fossa, Pablo (eds.), Heinz Werner: A Forgotten Pioneer in Developmental Sciences. (Methodologies in Developmental Sciences) 296 pp. 2026:2 (Springer, GW) <762-1167>
ISBN 978-3-032-11599-7 hard ¥39,431.- (税込) EUR 149.99

This book's aim is to rescue from oblivion the work of a forgotten founder of developmental psychology: Austrian psychologist Heinz Werner. Based on the Orthogenetic Principle, Werner created a structuralist-systemic way of understanding organismic development as genetic processes always leading parts of a system to increasing levels of differentiation and hierarchical integration in relation to the whole system. This made him one of the pioneers of developmental sciences along with figures such as James Baldwin, Lev Vygotsky and Jean Piaget. Werner, however, has never enjoyed the same degree of recognition as his peers and his work started to fall into oblivion by the end of the 20th century. By rescuing Heinz Werner's work from oblivion, authors in this volume argue that it's possible to find a way to the future of developmental psychology by looking at a forgotten part of its past. So, this contributed volume brings together chapters that review Heinz Werner's main theoretical contributions to developmental psychology, point to the limitations of Werner's work and propose new theoretical and methodological approaches that build upon Werner's work to contribute to revitalize his legacy and make his original ideas the basis of a holistic approach to developmental psychology that aims at understanding development in a systemic and contextualized way. Heinz Werner: A Forgotten Pioneer in Developmental Sciences will be an invaluable resource for researchers and students in the fields of developmental, educational and theoretical psychology.

Belsky, Jay, The Nature of Nurture: Rethinking Why and How Childhood Adversity Shapes Development. 240 pp. 2026:1 (Belknap Pr., US) <762-1169>
ISBN 978-0-674-29719-7 hard ¥7,854.- (税込) US$ 35.00

From a leading expert on child development, a radical evolutionary perspective on how childhood experiences shape later life.Children who grow up in troubled circumstances-experiencing deprivation or instability, living in a dangerous neighborhood or an abusive family-are more prone to aggression, recklessness, and sexual promiscuity later in life. To most of us, the lesson is clear: adverse childhood conditions make human development go awry.In The Nature of Nurture, renowned developmental psychologist Jay Belsky challenges this interpretation and offers an exciting alternative based on Darwinian theory. There is no reason to assume, he points out, that the psychology of "well-behaved" people is normal while that of "antisocial" adults is aberrant. Instead, the supposedly dysfunctional behaviors correlated with childhood adversity could well be ingenious adaptations to harsh environments. If you are surrounded by danger and uncertainty, then being quick to lash out at potential threats and having lots of offspring at an early age are good ways to maximize your reproductive chances. From an evolutionary perspective, having just a few children and lavishing care on each works well in a stable world, but not in a perilous one.Belsky exposes the romanticism underlying our idealized notions that "natural" equals "good" and that nature intends to maximize human happiness and well-being. When instead we take seriously the fact that humans, too, have been shaped by evolutionary pressures, we can better understand why, how, and for whom childhood experience shapes later life.

Kuecuekaydin, Mensure Alkis (ed.), Conspiracy Theories, Paranormal Beliefs and the Anatomy of Pseudoscience: False Beliefs from an Epistemic Perspective. 217 pp. 2026:2 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <762-1176>
ISBN 978-3-032-12732-7 hard ¥36,802.- (税込) EUR 139.99

This book aims to reveal how the human mind's search for order in the face of uncertainty and complexity leads to belief systems which have no scientific basis, while exploring the harms of such beliefs at individual and societal levels. Conspiracy theories, paranormal beliefs, and pseudoscientific claims can negatively affect individuals' decision-making processes, health choices, and social ties. The book aims to provide a holistic analysis of those phenomena by bringing together the perspectives of different disciplines, such as psychology, sociology, media studies, and philosophy of science. In particular, cognitive biases and social identity theory play a key role in explaining why these beliefs are attractive. As a work, it is distinct in that it not only approaches these issues from a critical perspective but also offers solution-oriented strategies to help readers acquire critical thinking skills and use scientific methods effectively.

Much contemporary psychology is characterized by a natural science epistemology that overlooks the richness of human experience. This book offers a timely and necessary critique and emphasizes a conception of human beings as persons embedded in relationships, cultural groups, and historical contexts. Eva Magnusson and Jeanne Marecek provide strategies for critical reflective scrutiny of contemporary psychological theories and practices. Using 'styles of thinking' as one of their conceptual tools, they investigate whether, and how, theories, research methods, and debates across subfields such as cognition, language, and psychopathology take people's situatedness into account. The book gives readers practical guidance for conceptual analysis, and a set of questions for scrutinizing other subfields and practices. It also describes research methods and projects based on a view of humans as situated persons. The book offers both a philosophical foundation and a hands-on guide to a psychology with persons at its center.

Smith, Roger, Modern Soul Experience in Psychology and Philosophy. 202 pp. 2026:3 (Routledge, UK) <761-79>
ISBN 978-1-041-22128-9 hard ¥47,228.- (税込) GB￡ 155.00

This interdisciplinary work examines the implicit role of "soul" in modern psychological discourse and human experience despite its apparent obsolescence in scientific contexts. The book presents a comprehensive exploration of soul discourse across six chapters: introducing the book's scope and arguments; analyzing contemporary references to soul in everyday speech and literature with special attention to African-American contributions; examining historical discussions and scientific dismissals of soul; connecting past and present usage to psychological practices centered on self rather than soul; offering a comparative overview of soul concepts across cultural traditions; and arguing for the value of soul-talk in sustaining meaningful discourse about human worth in an era of posthumanism, vital materialism, and artificial intelligence. Written from a secular perspective, the work conceptualizes soul as performative rather than substantive-doing things and enabling experiences rather than existing as a metaphysical entity-and draws from psychology, philosophy, intellectual history, literature, and religious studies while avoiding disciplinary jargon. This work will be of interest to psychological therapists, mental health practitioners, caregivers, scholars in psychology and philosophy, and general readers interested in the intersection of psychology and human experience.

Dyer, Allen R., Madness and the Political Divide. (Psychoanalysis, Technology, and the Future) 152 pp. 2026:1 (Routledge, UK) <761-798>
ISBN 978-1-032-95934-4 hard ¥16,755.- (税込) GB￡ 54.99

Madness and the Political Divide draws on psychiatry and ethics in an attempt to understand and bridge the political divide.Allen R. Dyer explores meanings of "madness" in different contexts, from the medical world to a contemporary society of "alternate realities." Underlying the denial of reality is the fear of unpleasant realities: existential threats such as global climate change, pandemics, and war increase anxiety and our vulnerability to the false promises of authoritarian leadership and to the erosion of democracy. With reference to psychoanalytic theory, psychology, ethics, and philosophy, Dyer explores how we can balance emotions with reasoned action, not overwhelmed by fear nor underwhelmed by denial.Madness and the Political Divide will be of great interest to psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, and those in other mental health disciplines. It will be highly relevant for academics and scholars in philosophy, history, and literature, and for readers interested in ethics, justice, and human values.

In Psychoanalysis and Catholicism: From Freud to Francis, Adam J. Schneider explores the censored history of psychoanalysis by the Catholic Church, reopening dialogue on key overlapping concepts to address contemporary needs.This book is organized into three parts. First, Schneider explores the historical relationship between psychoanalysis and the Church through key figures such as Sigmund Freud and Pope Pius XII. He then brings into conversation significant theological doctrines and psychoanalytic concepts including censorship/repression, original sin/unconscious desire, and the power of speech as examples of the fruitfulness of this dialogue. Finally, he applies theory and theology to contemporary issues like priestly and psychoanalytic formation and synodality within Lacan's four discourses. Schneider centers Pope Francis, whose papacy was a pastoral practice which reflected psychoanalytic ethics, as an orienting influence throughout the text.Psychoanalysis and Catholicism will be of interest to readers seeking to understand how psychoanalysis and Catholicism edify one another, and how to apply these insights to clinical settings, seminary formation, and parish life.

Child Development: Theories and Critical Perspectives provides a perceptive and engaging overview of theories in child and adolescent psychology, uniquely combining traditional scientific perspectives with critical (postmodern) approaches. This new edition has been extensively revised to incorporate recent advances in the field, featuring a new chapter, 'Theorizing about children's digital worlds', that explores contemporary issues including social media, artificial intelligence, internet addiction and the banning of mobile phones in schools.The authors skilfully place developmental theories within philosophical and cultural contexts, tracing historical developments across different schools of thought while exploring their interconnections and practical implications. Early chapters cover mainstream theorists such as Piaget, Skinner, Freud and Vygotsky. Other influential theorists include Maccoby and Thelen, and contemporary thinkers such as Overton and Stetsenko. Significant figures less well-known today, like Dewey and Rubinstein, are also introduced. The text also addresses broader frameworks including lifespan perspectives, systems theory, evolutionary theory, epigenetics, feminist approaches, children's voices, and Indigenous theories. Current controversies such as 'decolonizing' developmental psychology and the role of universities in knowledge production are also discussed.Written with students in mind, the book includes valuable pedagogical features such as recommended readings, discussion questions, activities and relevant websites. Essential reading for postgraduate students in developmental psychology, education, social work and social policy, its lucid style makes complex theoretical concepts accessible to readers at all levels, including those with limited background in psychology.

A Contemporary Return to the Lacanian Mirror is a discussion on The Mirror Stage as Formative of the I Function as Revealed in Psychoanalytic Experience, a capital text within Lacanian thought and psychoanalytic history.Drawing on Freudian and Lacanian concepts, Sergio J. Aguilar Alcala explores the consequences of the mirror stage for human subjectivity: an alienation of any remains of animal nature, an aggressive drive at the heart of our relationship to others and to ourselves and an introjection of the desire of the other as our own desire. These consequences allow for a critique of, among other things, the test zoologists use to 'prove' that animals can recognize themselves in the mirror, the notions of 'freedom' and 'agency' that mainstream communication and media studies ascribe to selfies on social media, and the neoliberal uses of labor psychology and identity politics to flatten the intricacies and contradictions within our/selves. The book begins with consideration of the imago and identification, then discusses the consequences of Lacan's three crossroads for our conception of human subjectivity. Aguilar Alcala concludes by discussing how the Lacanian mirror stage enables us to go beyond the Imaginary traps provoked by today's media and cultural landscape, using the aphorism mentioned at the end of the mirror stage text: thou art that.A Contemporary Return to the Lacanian Mirror will be of great interest to academics and scholars of psychoanalytic studies, communication and media studies. It will also appeal to those working within the humanities, and specifically in the philosophy of the human-animal relationship, images in digital culture and critical theory.

Gravitational Psyche draws on ideas from physics, psychoanalysis, and philosophy, to propose a radical reframing of how subjectivity is structured and sustained.What if the psyche, like the cosmos, is governed by invisible curves and recursive loops? Exploring how symbolic atmosphere, affective orbit, and curved epistemologies shape experience from the ground up, this volume integrates psychoanalytic theory with metaphors drawn from physics, nonduality, and recursive form. It develops a topological and recursive framework for analytic practice: the mind as a curved field, shaped by symbolic tension, relational mass, and recursive returns. Anderson presents the psyche not as a static structure but as a gravitational space, where repetition, collapse, and atmosphere reveal the curved nature of subjectivity. It further equips readers to orient, listen, and intervene where language thins, helping analysis preserve vitality without forcing premature coherence. This book offers readers a fresh vocabulary for working at the edge of symbolization.Bridging theory and practice with vivid clinical illustrations, conceptual maps, and a study guide designed to support teaching and supervision, this book is key reading for all psychoanalysts and psychotherapists.

The Body and Compulsion from Infancy to Young Adulthood: New Perspectives on Addiction, Self-Harm and Suicide examines the complex interplay between early childhood experiences and the development of compulsive behaviours across the lifespan, with a focus on how these compulsions present from infancy to young adulthood.A diverse group of international psychoanalysts from a range of theoretical perspectives and clinical experiences examine the severe bodily symptoms and syndromes often seen in young patients, and offer profound insight into the metapsychological foundations of repetition and destructiveness. Through compelling clinical vignettes and theoretical explorations, the contributors demonstrate how early trauma and neglect can disrupt the psyche, leading to damaging behavioural and emotional pathologies. Eating disorders, depression, anxiety, violent behaviour, suicidality and addiction are looked at in turn, with the contributors highlighting the challenge they pose in the therapeutic setting, and offering guidance on how to navigate sessions with those suffering from them.This essential volume provides invaluable insights for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, and mental health professionals working with patients struggling with compulsive patterns, while also offering theoretical depth for scholars interested in early development, trauma and the foundations of psychic structure.

Why do people believe the unbelievable? Why do fictional ideas so often inspire real-world action-sometimes joyful, sometimes destructive-while the people inspired by them never recognize that they are fictional? In Imaginary Realities, Jeffrey Jensen Arnett explores the psychological and cultural forces that lead people to embrace beliefs that defy logic yet shape lives, societies, and history. From religious and magical thinking to conspiracy theories and superstitions, Arnett reveals how these "imaginary realities" help us make sense of a chaotic world and why we adhere to them even when they mislead us. This groundbreaking book examines the psychological roots of irrational beliefs and how they soothe anxiety and foster social cohesion; how they underlie the double-edged sword of moral egoism, which motivates many of our best and worst behavior; the surprising role of imaginary realities in joy, humor, and group celebration; and the looming threats posed by modern myths surrounding AI, ecological collapse, and genetic engineering. With clarity, insight, and cultural depth, Imaginary Realities challenges readers to rethink what we believe and why.

In Free Association: A Contemporary Introduction, Barnaby Barratt presents a compelling and much-needed exploration of the method of free association within psychoanalytic treatment.This concise yet comprehensive book examines the historical roots, philosophical implications and transformative impact on the human psyche of free association, making it an essential resource for understanding the deep unconscious forces that shape our lives. Barratt demonstrates how free association uniquely reveals dimensions of the human condition that remain hidden in ordinary therapeutic approaches. Readers will gain insight into the distinctions between psychoanalysis and psychotherapy, the significance of repression and psychic energy, and the profound shifts in being that free association facilitates. Barratt's critical analysis of prevailing theories and alternative methods, such as somatic and shamanic practices, highlights the unparalleled ability of free association to reinvigorate psychic energies and existential freedom.This book is a vital resource for psychoanalysts in training and practice, and anyone deeply curious about the human psyche. It is also a valuable tool for instructors and researchers in psychoanalysis, psychotherapy and related fields.

For several decades, psychiatrists, social critics, and writers of other stripes have warned us about the havoc that narcissists wreak in our everyday lives. In this book, social scientist Mark S. Davis maintains that narcissism is much more than individual pathology; indeed, it is a virus that also infects organizations and entire societies. Examining America's history, this book broadens the discussion of narcissism beyond a troubling personality style. It delves into how traits like superiority, exploitation, retaliation, and a lack of empathy contribute to contemporary issues such as race relations, immigration, and the marginalization of those deemed "deviant" or different. By examining the tragic interplay between narcissism and history, this volume offers solutions to answer the question: can anyone in modern society, informed by its past, devise a treatment plan for a nation's personality disorder?

Biopsychology & Your Mind explains the way your mind works - and why it sometimes doesn't. The key is your mental mechanics: molecular, neural, and biological mechanisms.This book explores the unexpected properties of thoughts, feelings, emotions, and actions, examining phenomena such as blindsight, associative learning, intact memory in amnesia, and dreaming during sleep. Using evolutionary biopsychology as a framework, it addresses fundamental questions: What constitutes an emotion? How do thoughts and emotions interact? The text reveals how evolution has shaped our mental mechanics to seek adaptive balances, often switching between extremes depending on current circumstances. Mental disorders are presented as otherwise adaptive reactions that are occurring either in unusually extreme situations or within systems that are unusually reactive. The book demonstrates how evolutionary pressures have created mental systems that rapidly change between states, seeking optimal responses rather than fixed solutions.This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand mental machinery and psychological disorders. Detailed notes, references, and technical sections also make it an ideal companion for all students of biopsychology.

Across the world, most people are religious or spiritual, and many have a strong relational-emotional bond (attachment relationship) with God(s). This Element summarizes social-scientific theory and research on these relationships. Part I outlines basic principles of attachment and religion/spirituality. Part II describes normative (human-universal) processes and patterns. It explains how God and other supernatural beings often serve as irreplaceable relational caregivers (attachment figures), safe havens, and secure bases for people. Then it examines how religious/spiritual development interacts with attachment maturation across the lifespan. Part III explores individual differences in human and religious/spiritual attachment. After describing human-attachment differences, it examines how such differences can manifest jointly in forms of emotionally/socially correspondent or emotionally compensatory human attachment and religion/spirituality. Part IV discusses applied theory and research on religious/spiritual attachment. It explores the relationship between religious/spiritual attachment and health/well-being and concludes discussing how transformation in religious/spiritual attachment can occur through psychospiritual intervention or healthy relationships.

This book is a comprehensive introduction to the theoretical, methodological and epistemological aspects of the Theory of Subjectivity created by Fernando Gonzalez Rey (1949-2019). After the publication of the book Epistemologia Cualitativa y Subjetividad [Qualitative Epistemology and Subjectivity] by Fernando Gonzalez Rey in 1997, which marked the beginning of efforts to incorporate the topic of subjectivity from a cultural-historical perspective, research grounded in this approach has multiplied. This book aims to highlight the development of the Theory of Subjectivity since its initial formulation and to further deepen and clarify the relationship between the Theory of Subjectivity, Qualitative Epistemology, and the Constructive-Interpretive Methodology. This volume also intends to delve deeper, in a didactic way, into the process of constructing information from the perspective of the Theory of Subjectivity. To this end, it discusses the results of studies based on this framework with the aim of delving into this complex process of theoretical construction in research, overcoming the idea of 'empirical research' so widespread in the empirical-instrumental paradigm. Rejecting the logic of data collection as the accumulation of fragments, the authors emphasize the research as a theoretical construction, in which dialogue constitutes a subjective and relational space. In this space, participants and researchers become agents whose singular productions make possible the emergence of information relevant to the purpose of the research. The theoretical model emerges as the living core of research, constantly constituted by new indicators, hypotheses, and constructions that integrate empirical expressions with conceptual elaboration. This is an English edition of a book originally published in Portuguese. The translation of the original manuscript into English was done with the help of artificial intelligence. The technical and stylistic revision was carried out by the specialists Daniel Magalhaes Goulart, Jose Fernando Patino Torres, and Bruno Reis Bernardo Cobucci.

What if psychology isn't as liberal as we think? Psychology is often seen as a progressive discipline - a champion of social justice, diversity, and liberal values. But this provocative book challenges that assumption. It argues that psychology, from its historical entanglements with eugenics and colonialism to its modern-day focus on individualism, has long served to reinforce the status quo. Even as many psychologists identify as politically liberal, the field's methods, theories, and institutions often promote a worldview that downplays inequality, pathologizes dissent, and resists structural change. Psychology's emphasis on personal responsibility, resilience, and self-help frequently aligns more closely with conservative ideals than with progressive ones. This book explores how the myth of a "liberal bias" in psychology has been weaponised in today's culture wars - and how it distracts from the field's real political blind spots. It asks: what would it mean for psychology to truly live up to its promise of promoting human welfare? Accessible, deeply researched, and sharply argued, Psychology's Quiet Conservatism is essential reading for anyone interested in how science shapes society - and how society shapes science.

This book asks what are key psychological attributes of creative individuals, from personality to cognitive abilities to motivation and values, to their self and identity development, and to mental health and well-being. Through nine chapters, leading scholars review existing research and discuss where the new science of creativity is heading. The book goes beyond description of creators in terms of broad personality traits and engages with the ongoing debates in creativity scholarship about domain generality vs. specificity, levels of creativity, and nature of creativity as a transformative power for good vs. dark and harmful creativity. Contributions addressing how creators see themselves, how they think, and what drives them are brought together to formulate a new model of the creative person. Using a systems approach to personality psychology as theoretical framework, this book shows how a more nuanced description of the creative person can support the development of creative individuals.
