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.

Meeuwsen, Sandra (ed.), Sport and Psychoanalysis: New Pathways into Sport Integrity. 122 pp. 2025:8 (Routledge, UK) <748-865>

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.

To explore the impact of psychoanalytic ideas and contemporary visual artists upon each other, this volume examines the aesthetics of the sublime as an allegory for psychic birth.Through the lens of a radically intersubjective psychoanalytic theory, Civitarese reinvents the Freudian notion of sublimation. He theorises that the aesthetic of the sublime reflects the internal process of establishing a space of thought through the gradual differentiation of subject and object. Supported by numerous artworks by contemporary artists-from Serra to Kapoor, and Wei to Kiefer-the volume attends to questions such as, how does the psyche come into being? Why can beauty be considered necessary for life? How does what we experience as 'simply' beautiful differ from the aesthetic experience of what is called 'sublime'? In this way, Civitarese forges a conceptual tool that enables readers to weave together psychoanalytic theory and aesthetics.Drawing on a deep understanding of both the latest psychoanalytic thinking and artistic practices, this book will appeal to all psychoanalysts and psychotherapists interested in art and questions of psychic development.

Driver considers the importance of learning and exploration for both supervisor and supervisee, and provides guidance on how to effectively conduct these sessions. She provides clinical examples of in person and online supervision and considers learning theory, neuroscience and systemic ideas to support the reader on their own journey. The systematic approach to the key dynamics are outlined to enable readers to generate understanding about the patient and their internal world, as well as the development of the work of the supervisee with their patients.Part of the Routledge Introductions to Contemporary Psychoanalysis series, this book is a rich resource for all analysts, counsellors and therapists who work psychodynamically or psychoanalytically as supervisors or who are conducting supervision training.

Psychoanalysis is not just about what happens in the room-it is also about the structure that holds it all together. In Putting the Psychoanalytic Frame to Work, Allannah Furlong rethinks one of the traditional approaches to the analytic frame, arguing that disruptions-missed sessions, consent complexities, and third-party demands-are not necessarily obstacles but can be essential moments for deepening therapeutic insight.The book argues for a benevolent expectation of 'trouble' as an inherent part of the therapeutic couple getting to know each other more deeply, and as an aspect which distinguishes the psychoanalytic frame from that usually taught by professional regulatory bodies. Furlong proposes that the analyst or psychoanalytic therapist welcome framework glitches as opportunities to 'put the framework to work' rather than simply disposing of them as acting out or error. In so doing, the book invites clinicians to critically examine different theoretical approaches to the framework and its inevitable breaches.A why-to rather than a how-to book, Putting the Psychoanalytic Frame to Work aims to invigorate the practice of analysts everywhere-both seasoned and in training.

Goodman, Jonathan R., Invisible Rivals: How We Evolved to Compete in a Cooperative World. 256 pp. 2025:6 (Yale U. Pr., US) <748-1143>
ISBN 978-0-300-27435-6 hard ¥6,756.- (税込) US$ 32.50 *

A multidisciplinary view of how our competitive and cooperative natures make us human For centuries, people have argued about whether humans are moral animals-good or bad, cooperative or competitive, altruistic or selfish. The debates continue today, dressed up in the language of modern science. In this book, Jonathan R. Goodman makes the case for synthesizing the two sides. Drawing on insights from anthropology, evolutionary biology, and philosophy, he argues that rather than being fundamentally cooperative or competitive, we are capable of being both-and of exploiting each other when there is an opportunity to do so. The core of invisible rivalry is how we make ourselves and others believe that we are acting cooperatively even as we manipulate those around us for our own benefit. In confronting this collective tendency toward self-interest, Goodman says, we can make the fundamental first step in fixing the breakdown of trust in society. Consequently, we will be better able to combat the myriad issues we face today, including widespread inequality, misinformation in a new technological environment, and climate change.

Understanding Lacan's Objet a proposes that we modify the accepted approach to Lacan's ideas and strive to make Lacanian concepts accessible.Juan Pablo Lucchelli gradually introduces conceptual tools, following the emergence of this 'object of objects' step by step. The book makes clear the impact of the social in the genesis of objet a as a concept, with the inevitable sharing of the subject's being with others at its core. Lucchelli demonstrates that there can be no true autonomy of the individual without recognizing the dependence on the other; thus, like Winnicott's transitional object, Lacan's objet a is what connects us to others, despite the individualistic pretensions that emerge from the ego.This book will be essential reading both for Lacanian analysts in practice and in training, who wish to deepen their knowledge of the concept of the objet a, and for students of psychoanalysis, philosophy and psychology.

Lacan on Society is an exhaustive archeological and contingent review of Lacan's approaches to society throughout his work, seminars, and ecrits.Through a systematic and chronological analysis of Lacan's work, Edgar Miguel Juarez-Salazar highlights critical, structural, and divergent surfaces as they emerge within the concept of society. The book explores diverse manifestations of society to conjugate social and structural phenomena such as ideals, the metamorphoses of social enjoyment, the structural demand to produce social order, and the political economy of the signifier and its abstract circulation. Juarez-Salazar's work evaluates Lacan's critique of the notion of the family complexes, the relation between society and social modes of enjoyment, and the homology between Marx and Lacan, concluding with an invitation to subvert the understanding of society and its diatribes.Lacan on Society will be of great interest to academics and scholars of psychoanalysis, critical theory and Lacanian studies. It will also be relevant to academics and scholars of political economy, cybernetics, post-Marxist thought, gender studies and sociology.

Rohleder interweaves perspectives from French psychoanalysis and contemporary relational thought, and explores the various critiques of the theory, including feminist, queer and cross-cultural perspectives. Through this holistic and contemporary exploration, Rohleder offers the contemporary practitioner a broad and nuanced consideration of how Oedipal dynamics can play a vital role in their work with patients.This book will be of interest to psychoanalysts and psychotherapists in practice and training who have an interest in expanding their understanding of the Oedipus Complex and its relevance to a contemporary way of working.

Mapping the Landscape: Explorations in Psychoanalysis offers an overview and exploration of Priscilla Roth's unique contribution to psychoanalysis over the course of her long and distinguished career.This book takes the reader on a journey through psychoanalytic clinical practice and the significance of themes such as: identity, identification, idealisation and reparation. This collection shows a variety of Roth's interests but also the continuity of her approach - the unconscious thread, which links thoughts and memories together. Through close examination of the moment-to-moment psychoanalytic work, she emphasises how unconscious processes influence both patient and analyst without either of them becoming aware of it. In this sense, each analysis is unique. The second part of the book allows for reflection on lessons drawn from her work, and how psychoanalysis poses the question of what it means to be oneself for the analyst and the patient.Reflecting her strong compassion for patients and depth of understanding of the nature of psychoanalysis, this is key reading for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, and anyone interested in the experiences underpinning humanity in each of us.

This book considers the changing fortunes of psychoanalysis in Soviet Russia from 1930 to 1980.Approaching social history in a psychoanalytic key, Lizaveta van Munsteren argues that the growing split between official and informal languages of the time produced multiple strategies to keep alive the conversation around prohibited subjects. Through original archival research on figures such as Bluma Zeigarnik, Alexander Luria, Filipp Bassin and Dmitry Uznadze, van Munsteren offers a more nuanced understanding of Soviet studies of the unconscious and the role of language in the formation of the mind and in mental disturbances. This book makes a significant contribution to the historiography of psychoanalysis and to the study of the cultural influence of psychoanalysis and its interdisciplinary engagements.The Vicissitudes of Psychoanalysis in Soviet Russia, 1930-1980 will appeal to historians of psychoanalysis and psychology in Soviet Russia, psychosocial researchers and anyone interested in the critical history of psychoanalysis.

On the Theory and Clinic of Lacanian Psychoanalysis presents conversations with clinicians about their research interests, and their experiences in relation to psychoanalytic practice, focusing particularly on clinical and theoretical issues surrounding Lacanianism. This book is the result of several years of conversations with experienced psychoanalysts (who are also trained psychiatrists, psychologists, and psychotherapists) about their work in clinical practice. Each discussion explores not only the formation of each clinician, but also topics central to clinical work including transference, dreams, desire, trauma, poverty, and sexuality. Complemented by On the History and Transmission of Psychoanalysis, this book of conversations conveys the diversity of theoretical and clinical perspectives inspired by Lacan's system of thought, and the importance of psychoanalytic theory in the milieu of contemporary "mental health." This important addition to the discourse will be of great interest to psychotherapists and psychoanalysts as well as academics and scholars of psychoanalytic studies.
