Barnes, Brendon R. / Fernandes-Jesus, Maria et al. (eds.), Community, Psychology and Climate Justice. (Community Psychology) 293 pp. 2025:10 (Springer, GW) <754-889>

This book uniquely focuses on community psychology and climate justice. Climate change in general has been an area of increasing interest to psychologists in recent years, particularly in its cognitive, perceptual, and affective aspects. Because communities are often on the forefront of resistance to the deleterious effects of climate change, psychologists have become aware of the ramifications of large scale resource developments, toxic contamination, and dispossession, to name a few. The current conceptualizations and approaches to climate change, however, are not adequate to today's needs. Addressing this gap, this volume emphasize the politics of social justice, going beyond internal psychological variables. it explores the legacy of colonialism, highlights the needs of indigenous peoples, and takes an expansive interdisciplinary stance including critical theory, queer theory, feminism.

Wiener, Richard L. / Hansen, David (eds.), Legal Judgment and the Motivation for Justice. (Nebraska Symposium on Motivation 71) 229 pp. 2025:10 (Springer, GW) <754-486>

This volume takes as its point of departure that those who work in the area of law and psychology currently possess a great deal of knowledge about the psychology of the legal system, including the way in which the behavior of legislators, judges, jurors, attorneys, litigants, and defendants shapes the outcome of justice. It has also become very clear that the main obstacles to beneficial modifications to the legal system stem from the lack of motivation to seek justice, motivation to change legal process, and motivation to make use of evidence-based decision making. The purpose of this volume is to examine the antecedents of the motivation for justice, describe how that motivation activates and manifests in various legal institutions (i.e., elections, legislatures, courts, and executive offices), and trace the failure of that motivation to influence legal decision making. This will include research and commentary about a) where the motivation for justice comes from when people make legal judgments and decisions, b) how the motivation for justice influences legal judgments and decisions, and c) how legal judgments and decisions influence the motivation for justice in positive and negative ways. This topic is paramount at the current time in our history in view of the apparent breakdown of society's beliefs in our institutions and trust in the democratic process, which has contributed to a system that has increasingly operated from tribalistic impulse rather than from a richer motivation for authentic justice.

This book takes a ground-breaking approach to peace theory and practice at a time of multiplying global crises. It draws on the Lacanian-Hegelian dialectical materialism to rethink the way we think peace, conflict and violence as amongst multiple, overlapping crises including climate change, contemporary conflict, the threat of nuclear war, pandemics, the rise of far-right racism and growing class divisions. Such an approach may seem surprising. While Lacanian-Hegelian scholars have provided analyses of contemporary conflicts including Russia's war on Ukraine and Israel's war against Hamas, in doing so they have also made pointedly critiqued the theory and practice of peace. Rather than simply defend peace theory and practice, the book uses these critiques as the basis for rethinking peace and conflict. Therefore, the book occupies a unique position by being the first to apply Lacanian-Hegelian dialectical materialism to peace and conflict theory and practice broadlyIn doing so, it provides scholars, students and practitioners with new concepts and tools to rethink peace theory and practice - and to engage with politics in an age fraught with crises.

Knox, Oliver, The Legacy of C. G. Jung's Buddha: The Meeting of Buddhism and Jung's Depth-Psychology. 16 pp. 2025:8 (Springer, GW) <754-131>

This book traces the pivotal role Jung played in reframing Buddhist thought as a psychological tradition, a shift that continues to influence contemporary interpretations of meditation, mindfulness, and the self. Exploring both the historical context of Jung's engagement with Buddhism and its lasting impact, this book examines how his theories of individuation, the collective unconscious, and psychological typology resonated with Buddhist thought. It also critically assesses the diverse ways Buddhism has been psychologized, from ethical philosophy to modern therapeutic practice. By positioning Buddhism as a "science of the unconscious," this volume discusses how Jung's ideas helped bridge Eastern philosophy and Western psychology, offering a new framework for understanding Buddhist doctrine. A vital contribution to Buddhist studies and the history of psychology, this book offers fresh insights for scholars, students, and practitioners alike.

It is spread across eight chapters covering early development, developmentally appropriate activities, care practices, parenting, disability, child protection, and more. This book tackles the most pressing questions in Early Childhood Development today: What truly shapes a child's development in the early years-and how can these diverse influences be meaningfully integrated by those working with and for young children? How do we ensure no child is left behind-especially those with disabilities or facing adversity? How do we strength systems for each child? With a strong emphasis on how nurturing care and emotional safety shape brain development and social outcomes, the book illustrates why investing in early years is not only a moral imperative-but a national strategy.

This book provides a groundbreaking examination of the interplay between culture and politics in Indigenous psychology, a field that challenges the perceived universality of Western psychological norms by emphasizing the cultural specificity of local communities. By assembling leading experts and innovative research from across five continents, the book addresses the under-theorized relationship between culture and politics, two central pillars of Indigenous psychology. Contributors to this volume employ a cultural politics approach, an interdisciplinary lens that encourages critical inquiry into everyday practices and structural issues such as globalization, racial relations, and power dynamics. The book delves into the mechanisms of colonization, the ongoing tension between contextualists and globalists in psychological science, and the role of indigenous resistance in shaping future applications of Indigenous psychology. It concludes with a critical reflection on the achievements and limitations of the Indigenous psychology movement to date. This volume is an essential resource for scholars and practitioners of Indigenous psychology, as well as those engaged in sociology, anthropology, political science, Marxism, and the philosophy of science. It invites readers to rethink the foundational elements of psychology through the lens of cultural and political dynamics.

Ruffion, Alain, Positive Existential Psychology for the Prevention of Extremism. 218 pp. 2025:8 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <754-1202>

Many scientific works and studies have focused on the phenomena of extremism and violent radicalization. However, very few resources exist to effectively address this issue from an educational perspective. The diagnoses are often fragmented and give prominence to geopolitical and socio-political factors. Yet an interdisciplinary analysis of the processes of extremism and radicalization indicates the central role of biographical, psychological, or even psychopathological variables and traumas. How can we draw deep lessons from this to innovate in education and truly give ourselves the means to prevent these processes of extremism and radicalization? This book, deliberately choosing positive and existential psychology as a resource, proposes to answer this question with the support of scientific and creative resources that finally address and respond to the root causes. These resources are adapted to socio-educational professions and understandable by parents. They finally restore courage, ideas, and motivating and positive approaches for all those who want to take up this increasingly widespread and threatening challenge within our societies. At the same time, these resources make it possible to work on the transmission of values, strengths, and to contribute to the mental health and fulfilment of our youth, a capital theme if there ever was one.

Campill, Marc Antoine / Lordelo, Lia / Kullasepp, K. (eds.), The Symbolic Universes of Art in Society: Representations and Transitions. (Culture in Policy Making: The Symbolic Universes of Social Action) 246 pp. 2025:10 (Springer, GW) <754-1005>

This volume explores the dynamic dialogue of art within society from a multitude of perspectives across the world. It highlights art as a process that is interwoven with notions of physical and metaphysical transition and represents a fundamental awareness of how art is represented and shaped through everyday social challenges. The chapters in this volume link the idea of symbolic universes with social practices of art in different societies and through different historical epochs, under the assumption that art leads the development of cultural systems underlying society. The volume looks at art that is shaped by forgotten or/and hidden perspectives. It suggests that art may have crucial, phenomenologically approachable variations that have been misunderstood in the scientific fields. The work considers art and science as complementary, instead of as counterparts/opposing forces. Divided into an introductory and four thematic parts, the volume reflects on historical signs preserved in artwork; explores the meaning behind art and the experience of cultural cultivation; delves into the dynamic shaping of creative expression through art; and, finally, looks at the artists' own experiences of performance. This volume is of interest to researchers and students in the fields of cultural psychology, semiotics, arts and aesthetics, and cultural studies.
