This handbook addresses how applied behavior analysis (ABA) principles and procedures can be integrated into classroom settings. It examines key classroom issues, such as introducing ABA techniques into the framework of compassionate care and trauma-informed care as well as the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion. The handbook describes ways in which educators and other professionals can observe and measure behavior in an objective and practical manner. In addition, it describes evidence-based procedures and practices and their role in the classroom and introduces methods for targeting appropriate classroom behaviors and addressing problem behaviors. The handbook explores interdisciplinary care and addresses the fading of classroom supports.

Key areas of coverage include:

• Observation and measurement of behavior in the classroom.
• Data analysis and interpretation for educators and other professionals.
• Evidence-based practices, including early intervention, discrete trial instruction, programmed instruction, token economies, and the Good Behavior Game.
• Social skills, cooperation, transitions, food selectivity, math skills, and vocational skills.
• Interventions for problem behaviors, including preventive and reactive approaches, functional assessment as well as generalization and maintenance.
• Caregiver training and program development.

The Handbook of Applied Behavior Analysis in the Classroom is a must-have resource for clinicians, therapists, and other practitioners and professionals as well as researchers, professors, and graduate students in clinical child, school, and developmental psychology, child and adolescent psychiatry, special education, clinical social work, rehabilitation medicine / physical and occupational therapy, pediatrics, neurology, and all related disciplines.

This volume advances the understanding of meaning-making in the age of artificial intelligence (AI) by adopting a semiotic perspective. It repositions semiotics as a discipline capable of engaging in a mutually fruitful dialogue with the social sciences. It explores processes of signification in emerging forms of human/non-human coexistence, focusing on the interdependence between consumption, technology, society, and culture, with particular attention to the role played by brands.

The chapters raise a number of key questions: What methodologies can be employed to effectively study interactions among humans, non-human entities, and intangible elements (such as algorithms) in the construction of meaning? How can core notions such as enunciation, veridiction, and anthropomorphism be rethought in light of the expressive forms produced by AI? How can the complex operations of AI be interpreted through the lenses of translation and multimodality, and what challenges does this scenario pose to these concepts? What role do leading brands play in mitigating consumer resistance to the adoption of such technologies? What kinds of forms of life emerge and stabilize when humans accept delegating knowledge, passions, and actions to devices endowed with unprecedented levels of agency? How does AI represent itself?

This volume is of appeal to a wide readership across the social sciences, cultural and media studies.

This book offers a critical examination of psychology's role in addressing today's interconnected social-ecological crises. It argues that while psychological knowledge is crucial, the discipline often falls short by focusing too narrowly on individual behavior and neglecting broader systemic issues. Through critical perspectives on Environmental Psychology, the contributors illustrate the transformative potential of psychology in facing global challenges. They propose that psychology must evolve to address the complexities of our "polycrisis"-a convergence of ecological destruction, social injustice, and economic instability. The book emphasizes the historical roots of these crises in colonialism, capitalism, and systemic inequality, which psychology has often failed to address.

Divided into four sections, the book begins by highlighting the necessary changes within psychology to tackle today's intertwined crises. It critiques the discipline's limitations and advocates for a reassessment of traditional approaches. The second section introduces decolonial and intercultural perspectives, urging the field to embrace diverse knowledge systems and confront power dynamics in research. The third section critically examines psychology's social role, encouraging it to challenge societal inequalities and environmental harm. The concluding chapters demonstrate theory in action, showcasing emancipatory projects that illustrate how psychology can support social and ecological justice in practice. By outlining practical implementations of critical environmental psychology, the book serves as a guide for how psychology can contribute meaningfully to creating a sustainable, equitable world.

This collection is a must-read for researchers, scholars, and practitioners in the environmental, social, and behavioral sciences. It offers fresh insights and practical guidance for those seeking to understand how psychology can actively contribute to building a sustainable and just world.

This edited book analyzes the meaning making process related to gender identity and its performative dimension. We come to life with a body that immediately becomes a cultural body. The identity construction as well as the entire I-other-world relationship is symbolically marked out by socio-historical-cultural expectations related to gender. Based on the sexual organ, newcomers are immersed in a symbolic plot differently entangled for "boys" and for "girls", through which borders are established to demarcate what is allowed to feel, think and act in the world. Using the theoretical perspective of Cultural Psychology of Semiotic Dynamics, emphasis in the analysis will be given to the concept of border, in order to explore the affective-semiotic dynamics of what the masculine and the feminine mean in our society and the role they play in our psychological functioning. The contributions in this volume focus on the notion of border and its permeability to understand the non-binary gender performativity in different social settings. A central concept in Cultural Psychology is, indeed, the idea that masculine and feminine, when treated as rigid categories, are limiting and repress what is situated in between them. Such process of amplification of the gender category demands the identification of new tensions that go beyond the classic masculinity versus femininity dichotomy. This volume focuses on the semiotic processes in the phenomena related to gender identity and, in such a way, it aims at filling the existing gap in the understanding of the psychological dimension of gender expression. This may provide useful guidelines for psychological interventions in different socio-cultural settings.

This handbook is the first publication to offer a thorough overview of the fundamental principles of object-relations theory, the current mainstream approach to psychoanalysis worldwide. It offers a structured, easy-to-understand overview of modern psychoanalysis' central concepts. Each chapter is dedicated to an influential author who contributed to the development of object relations theory.

Starting with early pioneers such as Ian Suttie, Alfred Adler, and Otto Rank, it continues with psychoanalysts who established the object relations theory. These include Melanie Klein, Paula Heimann, Clare and Donald Winnicott. It also includes figures who built on object relations theory to create original contributions to clinical psychology. Examples are John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth's attachment theory, Peter Fonagy's concept of mentalization, and Otto Kernberg's transference-focused psychotherapy. The third part presents modern intersubjective approaches by Stephen Mitchell, Jessica Benjamin, and Donna Orange. These authors outline the direction in which object-relations psychology is set to develop. In these concepts, the other person is not merely an object that fulfills our wishes and desires but rather a subject with their own needs.

The Handbook of Object Relations theory is a comprehensive introductory text for those new to the field who wish to learn about the main currents in contemporary psychoanalysis. It is also useful for experienced practitioners who wish to revisit and deepen their understanding of certain aspects and for researchers and practitioners working with other approaches who wish to understand psychoanalytic concepts. This theory helps explain and transform a wide range of issues in contemporary clinical psychology.

"In the present volume, a comprehensive, clear, and fascinating description of the history of contemporary psychoanalytic object relations theory, the reader will find the discovery of the elements of this theory, the various theoretical and technical developments that these findings have originated." - From the Foreword by Otto F. Kernberg, Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry, Weill Medical College of Cornell University.

This is an English translation of a book that was originally published in German. The original manuscript was translated into English with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision focused primarily on content.

This book offers a fresh paradigm for psychology and the helping professions, distilled from four decades of clinical work and theoretical research. Building on Vygotsky, Leontiev, and Bakhtin - and on Volosinov, Winnicott, and contemporary biosemiotics - Mikael Leiman proposes two basic abstractions: object-directed activity and a revised concept of sign as a trace of encounters carrying both object and relation references. The first half of the book lays these conceptual foundations; the second applies them to foetal development, the emergence of language, the structure of utterance, problems of agency, dissociation, and the practice of brief psychotherapy, counselling, and coaching. Richly illustrated with clinical excerpts and developmental research, the book equips practitioners with a microanalytic method - dialogical sequence analysis - for listening to clients with new precision and offers researchers a coherent alternative to current cognitive and neurocognitive paradigms.

This volume examines the devastating impact of India's Partition on mental health services and individuals with mental illness. Occurring in mid-20th century, after the Holocaust and World War II, the Partition brought similar prejudice, trauma, and displacement in South Asia, yet its psychological consequences have remained largely unaddressed in medical education and practice.

Edited by psychiatrists, the book breaks this silence by tracking the breakdown of civic society, collapse of medical services, and violence against citizens during this cataclysmic event. Contributors draw from clinical experience, archival research, literature, media history, and political theory to investigate gendered violence, the division of mental hospitals, disrupted medical care, and the neglected inner lives of ordinary people. The book highlights how the failure to establish accountability or discuss the psychological impact of violence on victims has blighted post-Partition nations. With post-colonial partitions continuing worldwide, it emphasizes how care for the ill and disabled-civilization's defining feature-is forgotten amid political conflicts.

This interdisciplinary work will resonate with students and researchers in psychiatry, psychology, social welfare, mental health policy, and political history, offering valuable insights into medical history, social psychiatry, trauma studies, health planning, and gender awareness.

Why do democracies continue to elect 'orphaned' outsiders versus 'patrician' elites?

In The Orphan Paradox, Sharma offers an original meditation on the hidden wounds that shape political leadership. Building on his earlier works, including Barack Obama in Hawai'i and Indonesia (2012), Sharma fuses psychology, history, and political science to illuminate how leaders transform vulnerability into vision. Through vivid portraits that traverse continents and centuries, he traces how the United States and India - twin experiments in democracy born of colonial rupture - produced leaders who embodied both loss and renewal: Washington, Jefferson, and Madison in America; Gandhi, Nehru, and Ambedkar in India. From these founders emerged patrician families -the Adamses, Kennedys, Bushes, and the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty - whose inheritance of power eventually met the populist insurgencies of figures like Trump and Modi. For psychologists, historians and political scientists alike, The Orphan Paradox provides a new framework on the foundations of democracy, showing how personal loss shapes institutional design and how nations, like individuals, oscillate between trauma and transcendence. The result is a work of scholarship with a moral urgency - a study of how the orphaned souls continue to haunt, and perhaps redeem the democratic experiment.

Voluntarism and Self-Interest: Psychological Foundations and Panarchist Visions in Libertarian Anarchism investigates a central question in political philosophy: what, if anything, makes political authority legitimate? The book argues that theories of political legitimacy should be evaluated primarily in terms of their practical relevance-whether individuals have instrumental reasons to endorse them. Drawing on findings from experimental psychology about the prevalence of selfish motivations, it develops the claim that the most compelling theory of legitimacy must be one that effectively serves predominantly selfish desires.

Through a systematic analysis of competing accounts of legitimacy, the book argues that express consent theory offers the strongest fit with this motivational structure. It then explores the institutional implications of this conclusion by examining panarchist proposals for voluntary, non-territorial systems of governance that follow from a consistent application of consent theory.

Bringing together analytic political philosophy, conceptual analysis, experimental psychology, and the history of libertarian thought, this book will be of interest to scholars and students of political theory, political philosophy, anarchist studies, and libertarianism, as well as readers concerned with the foundations and future of political authority.

Mothering in the Colonies uses a psychoanalytic lens to consider the ubiquitous, but little acknowledged or spoken, relationship between settler colonial children and colonised/indentured/slave-descended women, and the way in which it inaugurated racial identity.

Diana Caine explores this relationship through seven images depicting children and caregivers in different contexts including Brazil, Mexico, India, Australia and South Africa. With reference to Freud and Lacan, Caine considers how this relationship at the heart of coloniality was impelled by socio-political and economic demands that collided with overt and covert interdictions against inter-racial intimacy.

Mothering in the Colonies will be of interest to psychoanalysts and historians of psychoanalysis, and to scholars and students of postcolonial and decolonial studies, race, imperial and colonial history and the history and politics of motherhood. It will also interest a more general readership.

Perversions: A Contemporary Introduction offers a comprehensive exploration of psychoanalytic theories of perversion, tracing their evolution from Freud through contemporary practice with particular emphasis on Lacanian perspectives and modern understandings of sexuality and gender.

This book provides readers with a thorough understanding of how psychoanalytic thinking on perversions has evolved and modernised. Drawing on decades of clinical expertise, Sergio Benvenuto examines both sadism and masochism while contextualising paraphilias within contemporary cultural and ethical frameworks. Readers will gain practical clinical strategies alongside rigorous theoretical analysis, moving beyond pathologising approaches to embrace nuanced perspectives on behaviours previously considered perverse. The work bridges historical psychoanalytic thought with current clinical applications, offering vital insights for contemporary practice.

Part of the Routledge Introductions to Contemporary Psychanalysis series, this fascinating volume is designed for psychoanalysts in training and practice, as well as psychiatrists seeking deeper theoretical grounding. Students and researchers in psychiatry, sociology, sexology, philosophy and Gender Studies will find valuable interdisciplinary perspectives and sophisticated understanding of perversion theory and its application in modern therapeutic contexts, making this an indispensable resource for both academic study and clinical practice.

This guide will help leaders, executive coaches, and organisation development practitioners to enhance the effectiveness of their reflective practice for themselves and their teams.

Containing easy-to-follow exercises and activities based on theory, practice, and the authors' own experiences, this companion guide to The Wise Leader expands on the Wise Leader model and introduces the Reflective Difference. The first three sections of the book describe the Reflective Difference, three ways in which effective leaders reflect differently to other leaders: Growing With-and-Through Others; Grounded Positivity and Reflective Momentum. The fourth section of the book expands these individual practices for use with teams.

The Reflective Difference is written for anyone seeking to translate the knowledge gained from The Wise Leader into leadership programs or team coaching sessions, or into their everyday practice. It will be of interest to independent practitioners, including team coaches and facilitators, as well as those responsible for leadership development in organisations.

The Unconscious and the Family is an exploration of the complex unconscious dynamics that shape family and couple links. Drawing on extensive clinical experience, Anna Maria Nicolo offers profound insights into the psychopathology present in these contexts, illustrating the theoretical framework with compelling case studies of couple conflicts, trauma, and psychotic disorders. Nicolo presents an innovative reinterpretation of psychoanalytic concepts as they apply to family and couple therapy, establishing a theoretical foundation in the first part of the book and detailing practical interventions in the second. The hypothesis of the existence of transpersonal disorders is gaining ground, particularly among couples dealing with violence and psychotic disorders. Special attention is given to diagnostic approaches, interpretation methods, transference dynamics, and the therapeutic use of the metaphor. Essential reading for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, and mental health professionals working with families and couples, this volume fills a significant gap in the English-language literature on psychoanalytic approaches to family and couple therapy.

This innovative book, written by an author with borderline experiences of her own, explores the lived experience known as "borderline personality disorder". It draws on neuroqueer approaches and feminist new materialist philosophy to highlight the potential of the unstable knowledges produced in the borderland.

Resisting either embracing the clinical definition of borderline personality disorder or rejecting the diagnosis as a misogynistic construct, this book focuses on the ontological aspects of borderline experience, exploring unstable and indeterminate thoughts, feelings, perceptions, and selves. It illuminates how paying attention to these unique ways of seeing and knowing can provide alternatives to the 'cruel optimism' of medicalised ways of knowing BPD and challenge the harmful dualistic thinking that reinforces them. Demonstrating how we might understand borderline experience as a diagnostic, philosophical, or mystical mode for knowing self and world through unique orientations in time, space, and reality, this book is an important contribution to the medical and health humanities and critical mental health. It simultaneously provides a fresh new way of thinking about the borderline and offers new critical perspectives and interventions for the wider landscapes of disability studies, medical humanities, and justice-oriented disciplines.

It will be of use to a range of disciplines and professions with an interest in mental health, including healthcare, psychology, sociology, philosophy, anthropology and disability studies.

Asian American Psychology: Expanding Identities (2nd Edition) offers a comprehensive introduction to the evolving field of Asian American Psychology. The book examines the diverse histories, identities, and lived experiences of Asian Pacific Islander Desi Americans (APIDAs) in the United States, highlighting both shared cultural threads and the complexity within this rapidly growing population. It bridges scholarship, clinical practice, and personal development, inviting readers to critically reflect on identity, community, and mental health.

Organized into thirty chapters across six major sections, the textbook explores foundational concepts, cultural identity development, gender and relationships, emerging generations, social issues, and health and well-being. This textbook is intended for undergraduate and graduate students in psychology, Asian American studies, and related disciplines, as well as clinicians, educators, and community practitioners.

In this book, David Bell explores Freud's oeuvre starting with some of the earliest papers. He situates this work within the context of culture and the history of ideas. Covering such key topics as narcissism, the nature of truth and illusion, and what constitutes knowledge within and outside analytic settings, the chapters take one of Freuds key works and offers an exegesis of that work. With a deep understanding of Freud's work and its place in contemporary psychoanalytic and cultural spheres, this is key reading for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, historians of idea and anyone wanting to better understand the continued importance of Freud's enduring significance.

Interviewing Neuropsychological Rehabilitation: (Volume I: Beginnings) offers a reflective and dialogical exploration of the origins of neuropsychological rehabilitation through the voices of those who helped shape its early development. Compiled and edited by Dr. Christian Salas, this volume brings together a series of in-depth interviews that trace how the field emerged-not as a predefined discipline, but as a set of practices, ideas, and encounters that gradually took form across time and contexts.

Focusing on the formative years of neuropsychological rehabilitation, Beginnings examines the intellectual, clinical, and personal trajectories that contributed to its foundation. Through conversations with leading figures such as George Prigatano, Barbara Wilson, Anne-Lise Christensen, Lance Trexler, Masahiro Nochi, Mark Ylvisaker, Pamela Klonoff, Jill Winegardner, Tedd Judd, Jennie Ponsford and Elena Marquez, the volume highlights how the field was shaped by interdisciplinary influences, institutional developments, and the lived experiences of clinicians and patients alike. Rather than presenting a linear history, the book reveals a field constructed through dialogue, experimentation, and the ongoing negotiation between theory and practice.

Set against the backdrop of Chile-whose name means "the ends of the earth"-the book adopts a decolonial and cross-cultural perspective, situating these stories within a broader global context and foregrounding the relational and situated nature of knowledge production. In doing so, it portrays neuropsychological rehabilitation not as a finished body of knowledge, but as a discipline whose beginnings remain present in its current practices.

This volume will be of interest to clinicians, researchers, and students in clinical neuropsychology, rehabilitation, psychotherapy, and allied health fields seeking to understand how the discipline came into being and how its foundational ideas continue to shape contemporary practice.

The second edition of Nonlinear Contingency Analysis gives professionals a powerful framework for understanding complex behavior, and this companion volume shows clinicians exactly what happens when that framework is applied to children, families, adults, and animals facing challenging circumstances.

Case Studies and Applications in Nonlinear Contingency Analysis provides vivid examples and step-by-step case analyses that you can adapt to your own practice. Every case shows how constructional, non-coercive interventions succeed where eliminative models fail. These aren't abstract theories-they're replicable roadmaps for transforming behavior across clinical, educational, organizational, and animal settings.

Whether you work in mental health, education, behavior analysis, or animal training, Case Studies and Applications in Nonlinear Contingency Analysis shows how constructional, freedom-expanding interventions can transform lives. If you want to see how nonlinear contingency analysis works in practice-and how to use it yourself-this is the book you need by your side.

Through real case scenarios presented in the therapy room itself, the book demonstrates the model in action and provides a rich toolbox of exercises and strategies for building supportive, resilient, and thriving partnerships. It also addresses the challenges of digital overwhelm and offers guidance for cultivating mindful, connected communication.

An accessible and essential resource for psychotherapists, counsellors, couples' therapists, and anyone seeking practical tools to better understand, navigate, and communicate within relationships where one partner has (undiagnosed) ADHD.

This book explores the concept of criticality, a quality that supports a deeper understanding of complex situations that people encounter at work and interpersonal relationship. For contemporary coaches it offers ideas on how they can develop the essential quality of criticality to work with clients in a significantly changing world.

Criticality is seen not just as critical thinking skills but as a state of mind that involves a philosophical stance, an emotional attitude and an agentic action. The book provides coaches with intellectually rich material and many practical ways for the development of their criticality and existentially coherent ways of responding to current realities. This in turn should equip coaches for helping clients to question and examine their work and life in the most meaningful ways.

This book will appeal to both new and experienced coaches, coaching supervisors and coaching educators. It will also be of interest to other practitioners of professional services based on interpersonal relationships, such as those in applied psychology, counselling, and psychotherapy.

This practical guide transforms complex therapeutic codes of ethics from organizations like AAMFT and APA into accessible, everyday guidance for navigating ethically challenging cases in clinical practice.

Rather than presenting ethics as abstract concepts, Dr. Lisa Rene Reynolds illustrates key ethical themes through relatable, real-world scenarios that therapists encounter in their daily work. This book offers rich, detailed discussions stemming from each ethical principle, complemented by illuminating clinical case examples of best (and worst) practices in therapeutic settings. Readers will develop a deeper understanding of what it means to be an ethical practitioner, moving beyond surface-level familiarity with terms like competence, non-abandonment, and informed consent to be able to make informed decisions about treatment and therapeutic approaches. Chapters discuss core ethical principles and their application across diverse contexts and scenarios such as professional obligations and responsibilities, relationships with professional colleagues, technology and social media, self-of-the-therapist, and evaluation and assessment.

This book is essential reading for practicing therapists, counselors, clinical supervisors, and behavioral specialists across all therapeutic disciplines. It is also designed to be a valuable resource for graduate students in therapy and counseling programs.

This book investigates Bion's enigmatic concept of Caesura-the gap that connects in multiple realms of human existence. The authors respond to Bion's challenge for future analysts to explore its significance and bridge the theoretical limitations he identified in his generation's understanding.

The contributors of this volume honor Bion's legacy by expanding his notion of caesura, demonstrating its still-untapped potential for inspiring new thoughts and original perspectives on a variety of psychoanalytic concerns. Among other issues, they explore the caesuras of birth, trauma, the formation of thought, the question of truth, the connective tissue between body and psyche, the powerful linking force of myths, and the tension between the personal and the socio-political in the consulting room.

This book is ideal for psychoanalysts, scholars, and students seeking to explore the impact of caesural thought across psychoanalytic schools and disciplines. It appeals to those interested in post-Bionian field theories, relational thought, and existential psychoanalysis. Those who wish to explore the caesura between psychoanalysis and other fields of study, such as philosophy, modern medical outlook and Kabbalah research will find in this book a fruitful interdisciplinary dialogue, and a creative tension between past traditions and contemporary paradigms.

This pioneering book presents a practical, evidence-based approach to supporting wellbeing in people living with brain injury. Developed through more than a decade of collaboration between researchers, clinicians, and people with lived experience, the book introduces a nine-week structured, systems-informed positive psychotherapy programme designed for neurorehabilitation.

Rooted in an eco-biopsychosocial framework, the group-based programme goes beyond the traditional neurorehabilitation approaches focused on alleviating symptoms and instead is crafted to enhance wellbeing through deep connections with self, others, and nature. It extends the focus beyond individuals to encompass the systems within which people are embedded. The programme introduces a sequence of themes including living with difficult emotions, identifying and using character strengths, building positive emotions, connecting to body and mind, connecting to others, connecting to nature, meaning and purpose, translating values into action, and behaviour change while managing ups and downs. The intervention is described step-by-step through a detailed clinician manual. Additional resources-including guided meditation recordings, session slides, and a participant workbook-support practitioners in delivering the programme in rehabilitation and community settings.

Through insightful narratives and actionable guidance, the book equips health professionals with tools to support people living with ABI in improving their wellbeing and reconnecting with their communities and the natural environment. The book defines true wellbeing as not merely the reduction of suffering, but about building strengths, enhancing social bonds, and encouraging sustainable engagement with the environment. Offering a fresh perspective on recovery and resilience, it is a compelling resource for clinicians, psychologists, other health professionals and trainees focused on neurorehabilitation.

In this book, David Bell examines Melanie Klein's central contributions and their later evolution, contextualising them within a broader cultural and intellectual framework.

Klein, building on the foundations provided by Freud, provided a hugely influential reshaping of psychoanalytic theory and practice. Covering such key concepts as projective identification, unconscious phantasy, the nature of loss, and the death drive, Bell examines how Klein's contributions radically reshaped our understanding of the nature of the unconscious mental life both at the level of theory and of clinical practice.

This deep understanding of Freud and Klein's work and its place in contemporary psychoanalytic and intellectual culture, provides a key reading for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, historians of idea and anyone wishing to better understand the continued importance of the work of Freud and Klein.

A Psychoanalyst and His Patients offers an intimate and authentic glimpse into the analytic room, revealing transformative encounters between psychoanalyst and patient through vivid clinical vignettes.

Pietro Roberto Goisis conveys the living reality of psychoanalytic work, where words, silences, emotions, and everyday details become the raw material for healing and growth. Through compelling narratives spanning adolescent identity crises, trauma recovery, sexual exploration, and despair, Goisis demonstrates how the analytic space becomes a crucible for meaning-making and transformation. Each chapter illuminates not only the patients' journeys but also the analyst's own vulnerability and evolution, showing how psychoanalysis is fundamentally a shared human experience where fragmented experiences find coherence and dark territories are welcomed and reworked. This book bridges the gap between clinical practice and accessible storytelling, making the complexity of psychoanalysis comprehensible without sacrificing depth or rigor. Written with poetic sensitivity yet clinical precision, this book reveals the analytic room not as a mysterious or abstract space, but as a living environment capable of welcoming and transforming all who enter it.

It will be of great interest to psychoanalysts in practice and in training, mental health professionals, students of psychology and counselling, and to readers interested in therapeutic practice.

Bringing together perspectives from social, developmental and personality psychology and bridging moral psychology with philosophy, this book makes a unique interdisciplinary contribution to the field. Krettenauer proposes that the concept of moral identity is a fundamental category of moral psychology and indispensable for any comprehensive account of human morality. Chapters cover the origins of moral identity research, moral identity development across the lifespan, social-cognitive perspectives, narrative approaches and evidence from cognitive science. Summarising extant theories and research, the book also points towards topics that go beyond its scope, providing a rich source of inspiration for future study.

Understanding Moral Identity is a crucial resource for scholars and students of moral psychology, as well as academics in related disciplines such as philosophy, education and sociology. Krettenauer's directions for prospective study will benefit researchers in the field, while his insights on findings from previous studies will be of interest to any professional specialising in morality.
