This volume brings together, for the first time, perspectives from philosophy and psychology to investigate the role of autobiographical memory in moral agency. Autobiographical memory is the ability to recollect events in one's past as part of one's personal history. Moral agency is the ability to make moral judgements, act morally and have a conception of the good life. Although a number of philosophers and psychologists have drawn attention to the role of autobiographical memory in moral agency, there is no sustained project that brings together these different lines of inquiry into a unified research area. The aim of this volume is to answer this need by bringing together leading voices in research in autobiographical memory and moral agency from both philosophy and psychology to provide a unified framework for a new interdisciplinary research area. Key areas of research explored in this volume include temporal perspectives, moral identity, autobiographical narrative, joint reminiscing, the internalisation of moral value, attachments, and amnesia. Autobiographical Memory and Moral Agency will appeal to researchers and advanced students in philosophy of mind, moral philosophy, philosophy of education, developmental psychology, and educational psychology who are interested in the role of memory in moral psychology and moral development.

Positive Autoethnography (PosAE) combines personal narrative and positive psychology to offer a new approach to self-reflective research. This methodology focuses on personal growth, resilience, and well-being, addressing the growing need for a more constructive, positive approach in fields like psychology and sociology. By emphasizing positive reflexivity, PosAE creates space for insights that uplift both writers and readers. In Positive Autoethnography: An Introduction to Theory and Practice, authors Dr. Freda Gonot-Schoupinsky and Prof. Dr. mult. Claude-Helene Mayer present the first comprehensive exploration of this methodology. Developed in consultation with Dr. Mark Weeks, and featuring the work of numerous scholars, this collection introduces the theoretical and practical underpinnings of PosAE. The authors reveal the close connection of PosAE to Pragmatic Autoethnography (PAE) and present its pragmatic usage across various applications. PosAE subtypes are showcased to highlight its therapeutic, intercultural, and collaborative potential, while addressing the unique needs PosAE fulfills within Positive Psychology (PP) and Autoethnography (AE). With practical examples and a broad interdisciplinary scope, this work underscores the adaptability of PosAE to a range of research contexts, making it accessible to scholars from diverse backgrounds. Bringing a fresh perspective to qualitative research, Positive Autoethnography is a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and educators in PP, AE, psychology, social work, counseling, and beyond. Engaging in positive reflexivity, readers will find new ways to connect with autoethnographic practices that foster resilience, growth, and practical impact.

This open access book builds bridges between the science of coaching and coaching practice by analyzing the effects of coaching in detail and improving its practical effectiveness. Written by a proven expert in the field, it scrutinizes old and new methods of coaching and substantiates what still works and what does not. It provides guidance to silt the science from pseudoscience and charlatanism. Some of the topics it covers are: Simple and complex questioning methods, vision development, values analysis, strengths maps, narrative coaching, changing habits, executive communication, conflicts, stress management, burnout, health behavior, team coaching and coaching for organizational change (including e-coaching tools and artificial intelligence). The book collates the findings in an integrative, systemic theory of "result-oriented coaching" that is open to change, and addresses future developments in the coaching market, digitalization and artificial intelligent systems in coaching, with a plea for humanistic, science-driven and practice-based coaching.

At the intersection of humanities and science, this book re-examines noise as a fundamental force in shaping contemporary thought and digital culture. Anchored by the republication of Steven Sands and John Ratey's influential 1986 article "The concept of noise", this volume explores how noise transcends its traditional definition as unwanted sound or mere signal interference to become a generative force in our increasingly complex, digitised world.The book brings together leading thinkers including Catherine Malabou, Rosa Menkman, and Yuk Hui to investigate noise across multiple domains: from semantic disruptions in Large Language Models to the algorithmic unconscious, from gaming platforms to glitch aesthetics, and from protest movements to post-semiotic French theory. Building on Sands and Ratey's pioneering concept of "the mental state of noise", it reveals how noise functions, also, as a catalyst for emergence, creativity, and transformative change in contemporary society. The chapters in this interdisciplinary collection challenge conventional understandings of complex systems, cognition, and computation, offering fresh perspectives on the relationship between human thought and technological advancement. By positioning noise as central to 21st-century techno-human cognition and cultural evolution, this volume opens new pathways for understanding the intersection of mind, machine, and meaning.Essential reading for scholars and students in contemporary philosophy, science and technology studies, media and cultural studies, digital humanities, and digital arts, this volume demonstrates how noise has become instrumental in reshaping our understanding of the modern world and its possibilities. It was originally published as a special issue of Angelaki.

In Coaching the Unconscious: A Jungian Approach to Working with Symbol, Laurence Barrett explores how coaches can begin to work with symbol as part of their practice, blending the key principles of Jungian psychology with case studies and practical applications.The Jungian concept of the symbolic attitude provides a valuable framework for coaches seeking to navigate the complexities of the human mind. It prompts us to notice the rich tapestry of symbols and metaphors arising from the unconscious and reveals what may be happening 'beneath the surface' of the mind. Coaches who have developed a symbolic attitude can better help their clients explore their inner worlds and create a deeper understanding of themselves and their potential. They can support more profound and impactful coaching experiences that go beyond superficial goals to support growth and transformation in more profound ways.This valuable new resource will be of particular interest for experienced coaches seeking to deepen and extend their practice, as well as coaches who have begun to explore Jungian psychology and are looking for practical ways in which its concepts can be applied. It would also be appropriate for students of coaching and Jungian psychology.

The present book examines a largely overlooked scientific discipline in Personality Psychology known as Psychography. The origins of Psychography can be traced back to the efforts of William Stern in 1911. As a scientific discipline, Psychography seeks to elucidate how individuals develop significant life patterns throughout their lives and make critical choices regarding their futures. It serves as a qualitative tool for interpreting the complexities of human lives and their transformations within the context of irreversible time. Moreover, this book applies Psychography to concrete examples, particularly focusing on the life and works of the novelist Eduard von Keyserling. Through this analysis, we aim to unravel the experiences of German-Baltic individuals who have had to construct and continually reconstruct their lives in response to the challenges they faced throughout their lifetimes, including war and political turmoil.

The Craft of Psychodynamic Case Study: A Practical Guide is the first comprehensive guide to help clinicians transform their therapeutic experiences into compelling, meaningful case narratives that honor both clinical truth and literary craft.Every therapist faces the challenge of translating profound clinical experiences into coherent written case studies. This groundbreaking manual bridges a critical gap in professional training, offering practical tools for crafting compelling narratives while maintaining ethical boundaries and theoretical integrity. The book explores five major psychoanalytic approaches-Klein, Bion, Winnicott, Kohut, and Relational-each with specific writing strategies. Rich with clinical examples, it guides practitioners through diverse phenomena from Klein's manic repair and envy, through Bion's alpha function and reverie, to relational self-disclosure. Readers learn to develop their narrative voice, structure long-term therapy into phases, write about transference and countertransference, and navigate confidentiality challenges.More than a technical manual, this guide revolutionizes how we think about case studies as creative non-fiction, introducing the concept of "responsible creativity" that empowers clinicians to move beyond formulaic reports. Perfect for psychodynamic psychotherapists and mental health practitioners at all levels writing cases for exams, publications, conferences, team presentations, or personal reflection.

From Problem-Solving to Responsible Decision-Making is a comprehensive and culturally responsive problem-solving approach that addresses the complexities of culture, identity, and the impact of decisions on individuals, families, and communities. It is a guide for problem-solvers seeking to make better-informed decisions in professional and personal situations. I see the usefulness of this resource for my college students who face the daunting task of making daily decisions with significant and long-lasting consequences. Counselors can use this primer to help students understand how developing self-identity and self-actualization can improve problem-solving skills. By employing the LIBRE Model (Listen, Identify, Brainstorm, Reality Test, Encourage), individuals can contextualize how their decision-making ultimately impacts not only themselves but the whole of those they care about. Ultimately, the best decision for the individual is the decision that they can fully embrace and keeps them whole. Problem-solving can be a powerful exercise with valuable insights leading to a better understanding of yourself and your place in the community and within the family. The unique element of this text lies in its ability to provide historical familial terms so the reader can insert their family context to gauge how they might respond. In hindsight, when employing problem-solving and responsible decision-making, clarity of who the beneficiaries are becomes clear; a worthy reflection for anyone who cares about others. There is a resonant humanizing effect in understanding how difficult certain decisions can be, yet there must be an employed process of decision-making. The LIBRE Model has been used effectively for some years by counselors and individuals seeking to make responsible, efficient, and timely decisions.

The innocence of childhood does not protect against exposure to stress. More than half of US children are exposed to adverse experiences, such as abuse, neglect, witnessing domestic violence, parental psychopathology, or divorce, and all children encounter normative stressors like school transitions and challenges with peers. This Element discusses research on stress psychobiology during childhood, from birth to age ten. The Element focuses on important contexts that shape children's responses to stress and their coping capacities, including the family system, peers, schools, neighborhoods, the broader culture, as well as clinical settings. Sources of stress and resilience in each context are described.

This book looks at the intersection of psychoanalytic thinking, society and culture, using examples drawn from literature, clinical practice and everyday life.The book explores the various ways in which psychoanalysis shares preoccupations with the humanities including but not restricted to music, art, philosophy, history and politics, while retaining its own way of understanding phenomena. Each chapter is built around a different illustrative example, exploring how psychoanalytic thinking can let us better understand key cultural works such as Macbeth, Wordsworth and Mahler, as well as societal examples such as the politics of delivering psychiatric services, and the nature of happiness and misery. In doing so it explores how the human subject becomes more alive in the encounter with human activity in all its varieties and complexities.Informed by deep clinical understanding but written in a highly accessible way, this is key reading for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, cultural studies scholars and anyone wanting a better understanding of the role of psychoanalytic thinking in contemporary society and culture.

Ninio, Anat, Computing the Sentence: A Relevance-Theoretical Model of Syntactic Development. 256 pp. 2025:12 (Oxford U. Pr., UK) <753-2079>
ISBN 978-0-19-890750-3 hard ¥24,301.- (税込) GB￡ 84.00

Developmental research is abandoning formal syntax, probably because Chomskyan generative syntax lacks psychological reality. Some studies opt for pure statistics-based definitions of syntactic knowledge, as if humans were similar to Large Language Models of AI and had no structurally meaningful concepts of syntactic relations. Others tend to Constructivist syntax, where patterns of elements are said to possess associated semantic meaning. The problem is that the core syntactic relations that young children acquire, such as verb-object and verb-subject combinations, do not possess particular associated semantics, meaning that the Constructivist approach is not a helpful vehicle for understanding syntactic acquisition. In this book, Anat Ninio approaches syntactic development from a novel point of view, within the framework of Relevance Theory, a theory of pragmatics with a strong commitment to a cognitive conceptualization of linguistic competence. This theory's architecture of linguistic information acknowledges the existence of procedural instructions as part of the content of words, covering various processing acts, including syntactic combination. Methodologically, the study employs computer programming algorithms as heuristic models for the cognitive combinatory processes of syntax, computer programs being a close analogue to mental plans for solving computational problems. The unusual framework and methodology adopted in the book represent a break with current approaches in developmental psycholinguistics and perhaps even with the teachings of mainstream linguistics. The first part of the book proposes a procedural syntax of the central patterns of English, covering argument-structure constructions, phrasal and clausal combinations of function words and content words, wh-questions, relative clauses, and coordination and gapping. This modelling resolves significant issues that have been eluding linguistic theory for decades. The second part of the book describes the development of certain syntactic procedures in English-speaking children, employing a microgenetic analysis to demonstrate that syntactic learning is guesswork by trial and error. Despite the apparent chaos, the many different attempts that children make to arrive at some syntactic construct belong to a single learning process, and gradually converge on the adult algorithm. Defining syntax in terms of combinatory procedures provides a novel perspective on our 'predictive brain', on language structure, and on cross-linguistic variation.

Perspectives on Early Parenthood and Infancy offers a comprehensive exploration of these vital life stages through the lenses of psychoanalysis, neuroscience, developmental psychology and diverse socio-cultural contexts.Chronologically structured, this edited collection traces key stages of development through a rich collection of contributions from clinicians, researchers and academics across a wide range of backgrounds and disciplines. The contributors look in turn at the milestones of conception and pregnancy to birth and the transition to parenthood, paying close attention to infancy and the early parent-infant relationship. The chapters explore pivotal themes, including the rapidly evolving landscape of assisted conception; the physical changes and psychological vulnerability experienced during pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood; parents' unconscious defence mechanisms; experiences of weaning, feeding and sleeping; the perspectives of marginalised parents; and the vital role of cultural awareness in clinical practice. These topics are brought to life through clinical vignettes and current research findings woven throughout the book.Presenting complex and meaningful information in an accessible way, each section of the book features integrative discussion chapters written by the editors which deepen theoretical understanding, while providing practical tools for clinical application and academic research, making this volume a valuable resource for both practitioners and researchers, as well as parents.

This Element describes the development of a Theory of Mind, or mentalizing, in infancy and early childhood. Theory of Mind is a key social cognitive ability that permits children to predict and explain human behaviors by attributing mental states to other people. Understanding mental states gradually progresses from basic desires to false beliefs. The Element reviews the proximal and distal cognitive and social determinants that facilitate early Theory of Mind development. Discoveries in neuroscience contribute to understanding the ontogeny of Theory of Mind. This Element presents an overview of the main theoretical accounts of Theory of Mind development and offers suggestions for future research.

Who believes in conspiracy theories, and why are some people more susceptible to them than others? What are the consequences of such beliefs? Has a conspiracy theory ever turned out to be true? The Psychology of Conspiracy Theories debunks the myth that conspiracy theories are a modern phenomenon, exploring their broad social contexts, from politics to the workplace. The book explains why some people are more susceptible to these beliefs than others and how they are produced by recognizable and predictable psychological processes. Updated throughout and now featuring examples from the Covid-19 pandemic and the 2021 Capitol Hill riots, this new edition of The Psychology of Conspiracy Theories shows us that while such beliefs are not always irrational and are not a pathological trait, they can be harmful to individuals and society.

Omais, Salua, Happiness and Well-Being in Islam: Intersections Between Positive Psychology, Psychology of Religion and Islamic Psychology. 115 pp. 2025:7 (Springer, GW) <753-211>

This book presents a theoretical model to understand happiness and well-being in Islam combining a positive psychology approach and the teachings of the Quran and the Sunnah. With the evolution of positive psychology, the study of well-being gained broader and deeper dimensions that today encompass different peoples, cultures, and worldviews. The fact that most of the knowledge disseminated around the world has been built from a Western perspective has created gaps in science about non-Western people's cultures and worldviews. This reality has given rise to new epistemological trends, such as the revival of Islamic psychology, which seeks to recover classic knowledge and include new theoretical perspectives on the human psyche in line with Islamic beliefs and values. The topic of well-being in Islam has aroused interest among Western researchers in recent years, both in positive psychology, due to its third wave, and in the field of the psychology of religion. While Western science fragments knowledge into different areas of psychology, focusing on behaviors and actions that generate positive emotional states and relationships, the conception of well-being in Islamic psychology seems to coordinate all these behaviors with values, meanings, and spiritual connections, integrating content from various approaches holistically. It is a system that connects beliefs, religious teachings, spiritual practices, and prosocial behaviors, based on a logic in which God, the individual, and society are closely related to each other. Happiness and Well-Being in Islam will be of interest to both researchers and practitioners in fields such as clinical psychology, psychological assessment, positive psychology, psychology of religion and Islamic psychology by providing theoretical insights to research as well as valuable information that can contribute to the construction of measurement instruments, interventions, and therapeutic practices in the clinical field, and also in areas such as education, health, social and organizational environments.

In Psychoanalytic Film Theory: A Contemporary Introduction, Ben Tyrer presents an overview of psychoanalytic approaches to screen media, offering a reconsideration of psychoanalytic film theory while making the case for new forms of psychoanalytic film thinking.Tyrer takes a series of key psychoanalytic concepts - including dream, identification, difference, object and ideology - and charts their development in, and impact on, film theory. Considering foundational essays by Jean-Louis Baudry, Christian Metz, Laura Mulvey and Jacqueline Rose and contemporary conversations on cinema in the work of Joan Copjec, Slavoj Zizek, Alenka Zupancic and Todd McGowan, the book considers the major insights and accomplishments of psychoanalytic film theory in contemporary context while offering a view of the intellectual life of psychoanalysis outside the clinic. Paying close attention to filmmakers such Andrea Arnold, Joanna Hogg, Boots Riley, Celine Sciamma and Wong Kar Wai, Tyrer demonstrates the continued importance of psychoanalysis when thinking about film and the pertinence of psychoanalytic film theory beyond its historical focus on classical Hollywood cinema.Articulating complex ideas in an accessible way, this book is a vital starting point for students and scholars approaching psychoanalytic film theory for the first time, as well as scholars and analysts wishing to expand their knowledge and enhance their practice.

In a world shaped by likes, followers, and algorithms, what does it mean to be a child and what does it mean to raise one? This book explores how the meaning and value of children have shifted in the digital era, where visibility often replaces intimacy, and childhood unfolds not just at home but also on screens. Drawing on developmental psychology, sociology, and media studies, it examines how everyday parenting has merged with content creation. It also explores how children, who were once valued primarily for their emotional closeness, are now increasingly seen as sources of social capital and digital assets.From kidfluencers to sharenting, from digital play to parenting anxiety, this book unpacks how modern technologies and cultural norms have redefined what it means to raise a child. Building on Cigdem Kagitcibasi's influential Value of Children model, the book reveals a striking paradox. In the past, societies gradually shifted from valuing children for their economic contributions to appreciating them for their psychological and emotional significance. However, in today's digital world, social and economic value have returned to the forefront, now shaped by screens, platforms, and performative visibility.Rather than offering prescriptive advice, the book invites deeper reflection. What happens when childhood becomes a brand? What are the consequences when love is shared not just in private but for public engagement? With clear language and real-life examples, this book offers a thought-provoking guide for parents, educators, and researchers as they try to understand and respond to the ethical, emotional, and developmental challenges of growing up online.

Carr, R. Nicolle, Navigating Ethics in Behavior Analysis: Dealing with Gray Areas. 194 pp. 2025:11 (Routledge, UK) <753-127>

Navigating Ethics in Behavior Analysis considers the elusive topic of ethics in the professional context of behavioral analysis. Students often assume their Applied Behavior Analysis Ethics class is going to be an easy A+; that it takes no more than common sense and a good moral compass to determine the line between right and wrong. But, as they quickly learn, ethics are different from laws, morals and common sense and, when a variable is modified from how it was originally learned, students can be at a loss for how to critically think through the situation.Drawing from her extensive experience in both teaching and practice, Nicolle Carr highlights the important of critical thinking when considering questions of ethics in behavior analysis. She examines the history and creation of the Behavior Analysis Certification Board's (BACB) current ethical code before exploring well-known and novel approaches to navigating the ethical decision-making process with added emphasis on contextual understanding. These approaches are then applied in real-world scenarios: in schools, clinics, homes, residential facilities, higher education and within Organizational Behavior Management. Carr concludes by walking the reader through the process of an ethical violation, from trying to solve an issue alone and ensuring the person falls under the BACB's jurisdiction, to submitting the appropriate documents and what to expect as the process continues.Delving into the ethical curiosity created by grey areas that play out daily in the world of behavior analysis, this book will be an essential resource for students of behavioral analysis ethics as well as fully certified behavioral analysts.

ポピュリズムの政治心理学－トランプ、プーチン、屈辱のルーツ
Bafoil, Francois, The Political Psychology of Populism: Trump, Putin, and the Roots of Humiliation. (The Sciences Po Series in International Relations and Political Economy) 140 pp. 2025:7 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <753-1041>
ISBN 978-3-031-94327-0 hard ¥32,171.- (税込) EUR 129.99

This book examines the underlying social pathology of Trump and Putin's political orientations. The assault on the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, and Russia's war on Ukraine in February 2022 both reveal a disturbing drift towards new forms of populism. Drawing on the theoretical insights of Sigmund Freud and Norbert Elias regarding the impulses of the masses and the social trauma triggered by the quest for lost origins, Trump and Putin's populist policies are revealed in a new light: shaped by love and hate, feeding on the frustrations and resentments of the masses, the two figures-and their followers-are driven to violence. For these leaders violence even fuels belief in a renewal of democracy-a democracy by the people and for the people, at the service of the masses. It is based on the idea that a single, pure truth is the source of appeasement and well-being that excludes outsiders. The book is a continuation of work previously published with Palgrave (The politics of destruction) and is the result of several years of interdisciplinary research and a dialogue between psychoanalysis and the social sciences.
