To understand why the Chinese Communist Party has sustained its authoritarian political system, it is important to examine China's politics through the eyes of its people. This book presents the first comprehensive study of the political psychology of citizens in rising China, examining their attitudes toward democracy, their government, and their authoritarian political system, alongside their views of China's rise and its relations with foreign nations. It uses data from multiple public opinion surveys to elucidate the evolution of Chinese people's political perceptions and preferences under Xi's leadership. The author develops the theory of political guardianship psychology, a novel framework for understanding the Chinese political mindset. By applying a political-psychological approach, the chapters detail the strengths and vulnerabilities of China's authoritarian system, offering valuable insights into the country's trajectory. As such, the book is an essential resource for scholars in political psychology, political science, Chinese studies, and foreign policy.

Inspiration propels us. It's the basis of every accomplishment. But the idea that it simply falls into your lap is a myth. Inspiration doesn't come to us in a gust of wind, only to disappear into the mist again. You make it happen; it's a reward for work that you've already done. The combination of perspiration and inspiration takes you to where you want to go. In this ode to what is perhaps the brain's greatest achievement, Ap Dijksterhuis explains, with a storyteller's verve, what inspiration is, why we have it, how it works and how to get it. Drawing upon on the most up-to-date research in neuroscience and psychology, he shows how inspiration stands in relation to creativity, motivation, curiosity and the overall functioning of the brain. Ultimately, inspiration is not a privilege granted to a talented few: everyone who chooses inspiration will benefit from it. Including you.

The idea that the mind and the body work together to create human well-being is no longer at the fringes of academia. Evidence-based courses in mind-body wellness typically explore how physical and emotional wellbeing are related to biological, psychological, sociocultural, economic, and spiritual factors, as well as the ways in which our beliefs about the relationship of mind and body relate to how we view health and illness. Research points to a dynamic interconnectivity of mind and body processes that can support human wellness and can be a point of intervention for practices that improve wellbeing. Mind-Body Wellness: A Science-Based Approach begins with an overview of what mind-body interconnectivity means, approaches to defining wellness, and philosophical and practical approaches to mind-body wellness. Subsequent chapters address foundational topics in the field, including theories of behavior change, stress and wellness, mind-body practices, environmental wellness, and relationship wellness. The book ends with consideration of how mind-body wellness can not only impact our personal wellbeing, but also societal wellbeing.

Lehmann, Olga V., Silence: The Psychology and the Craft for Emotional Wellbeing. 304 pp. 2025:12 (Oxford U. Pr., US) <751-1181>

Why do our attempts for nurturing beauty, relaxation, insight or connection go astray? As human as it is to idealize the benefits of being quiet, the lack of and at times the excess of silence can be detrimental to our health and well-being. Social media, magazine covers, and rising publications of books on silence portray an ideal: more silence is inherently good for us. However, given our flawed and rushed interpretations of silence, we are often defeated: if it is a luxury, it seems unattainable for many of us; if it is a form of oppression, it can shatter our sense of belonging and purpose. What can we do, then, wherever we are, whoever we are, to craft silence in a balanced way? Crafting Silence takes the reader into a thought provoking and heartfelt journey. Lehmann serves the reader with core psychological insights, offering an original, timely, critical, and thorough viewpoint to contrast an overload of misinformation about what silence is, and how we should feel when quiet. The reader will be challenged to reflect upon their relationships if aspiring for balance when communicating or connecting with themselves, with others, with nature, with art, or as part of a spiritual path. Whether in nature, at work meetings, on the road, in a classroom, in the therapy room, or at the dinner table, silences appear as coordinates, and this book is the missing map for you not only to survive, but also to thrive as you navigate to your own destination.

Historical trauma is a relatively new yet crucial area of study within psychology, history, and related disciplines. This book introduces the concept of historical trauma by providing a comprehensive overview of the latest vocabulary, seminal psychological concepts, and quantitative research in the field. By drawing together cross-disciplinary threads and examining eight global contexts of historical trauma, the author highlights a wide-ranging and rigorous body of research that further adds to our clinical understanding of the possible long-term effects of collective trauma. The chapters also explore remedies against the historical effects of trauma, which tend to go far beyond psycho-therapeutic interventions, especially when they are dedicated to the culture of remembrance or empowerment for disadvantaged young people. By revealing a wealth of new ideas that point to a pivotal moment in the evolution of social sciences, this volume can help transform the way psychologists serve victimized communities around the world.

Theory groups are small research groups who develop a new scientific theory and work together to promote its acceptance by the scientific community. This book offers a pioneering analysis of theory groups by reconceptualizing them as socio-emotional collectives characterized by evocative group cultures and emergent small group processes that enable their members to conceptualize new theories and champion new intellectual movements that cut against the status quo in their fields. Utilising data from a fifteen-year, multi-sited ethnography of a theory group in sustainability science, it investigates the significance of faith, solidarity, fun, and flow episodes for developing transformative science. Chapters also explore the importance inter-generational group dynamics for advancing new theories, and of specific geographic locations such as remote islands for fostering creativity. This gripping first-hand account is an essential read for those wishing to understand the conditions that support transformative scientific creativity and the social dynamics of intellectual movements.

Plesa, Patric, Subjectivity and Neonihilism: Constituting a Self in a Meaningless World. (Palgrave Studies in the Theory and History of Psychology) 291 pp. 2025:6 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <751-1187>
ISBN 978-3-031-91545-1 hard ¥28,772.- (税込) EUR 119.99

Subjectivity and Neonihilism examines the current Western sociopolitical climate, revealing how it shapes who we are, how we think of ourselves, and how we create meaning in a seemingly meaningless world. Drawing on critical theory, this book looks at some of the social inequities produced under neoliberal capitalism and the ways these problems are internalized into subjectivity as the neoliberal self. Neoliberal cultural values are shown to reframe social inequities as personal problems and simultaneously create a sense of personal responsibility for solving them within the self, rather than addressing them externally. The author argues that current crises in meaning making and mental health have been exacerbated by the neoliberal values of individualization, responsibilization, self-governance, and competition. Divided into 3 parts, this book begins by outlining the emergence of subjectivity and technologies of the self. It demonstrates how the sociopolitical conditions that amplify social inequities intwine with the hyperawareness of the internet age to create an atmosphere of meaninglessness that is pervasive on social media and in internet culture. In part 2, the author further analyses this phenomenon, here labelled 'neonihilism', as the process in which we confront meaninglessness through irony, questioning whether this might hold the intrinsic condition for overcoming this new nihilism. Part 3 examines the possibility for collective meaning making, solidarity, and collective action afforded by creating an art of nihilating the neoliberal self, or what the author terms 'the ars nihil', via subversion and resistance. This book offers fresh insights that will be of interest to students and scholars of critical theory, psychology, philosophy and sociology.

Di Gregorio, Luca, Lacan in Italy: Clinic, Politics, Aesthetics. (The Palgrave Lacan Series) 284 pp. 2025:7 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <751-138>
ISBN 978-3-031-91527-7 hard ¥23,976.- (税込) EUR 99.99

This book provides the first analysis of the reception and development of Lacanian psychoanalysis in Italy, offering a comprehensive account of the relevance and contributions of Italian Lacanians. It examines Italian Lacanianism through its distinctive engagement with clinical practice, sociopolitical analysis, and aesthetics, highlighting the work of influential figures such as Sergio Benvenuto and Massimo Recalcati. Lacan in Italy proposes a nuanced understanding of how Italian Lacanians reinterpret Lacan's legacy, advancing an affirmative approach to the notion of the real - often conceptualised in negative terms as traumatic, impossible, unrepresentable, and unsymbolisable - by emphasising its generative, life-affirming potential. The book also fosters dialogue with Lacanian receptions across different countries and languages.
