Download or read book Psychology for the Third Millennium written by Rom Harre and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2012-03-19 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the 21st Century opened, the discipline of psychology seemed to be separating into two radically distinct domains. Qualitative and Cultural Psychology focused on the discursive means for the management of meaning in a world of norms, while Neuropsychology and Neuroscience focused on the investigation of brain processes. These two domains can be reconciled in a hybrid science that brings them together into a synthesis more powerful than anything psychologists have achieved before. For the first time, there is the possibility of a general psychology in which the biological and the cultural aspects of human life coalesce into a unitas multiplex, unity in diversity. This textbook ambitiously aims to and succeeds in providing this unity. Fathali M. Moghaddam and Rom Harré have designed a textbook brought together with additional voices that speak to the similarities and differences of these two seemingly distinctive domains. This bridge-building will encourage a new generation of undergraduate students studying psychology to more fully appreciate the real potential for the study of human behaviour, and as such it will represent a more provocative alternative to standard general psychology textbooks. It also support teaching in a host of courses, namely 2nd and 3rd courses on the conceptual and philosophical nature of psychology, social psychology, critical psychology and cognitive science. Selectively, it will also represent a very interesting and different choice for foundation level students too.

Download or read book The Evolving Self written by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The acclaimed sequel to the international bestseller Flow: an intelligent, inspiring guide to unlocking the evolutionary history of our present consciousness, and “becoming at one with the power that is the universe.” “A book of singular importance and timeliness, one with momentous implications for the future.”— Howard Gardner In Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s bestselling Flow, he introduced readers to a radical new theory of happiness. Now in The Evolving Self—his breakthrough sequel—he demonstrates how we can understand and overcome our evolutionary shortcomings. Premised on the idea that only through a reckoning with our evolutionary past can we build a stable, meaningful future, The Evolving Self covers the challenges associated with our cognitive evolutionary history (“As far as controlling the mind is concerned, we are like a novice driver behind the wheel of a racing car”); the distortions of reality we experience due to genes, culture, and our sense of self; and the central importance of “flow” from an evolutionary perspective as we look toward the future. Erudite, perceptive, and insightful—and more important now than ever, as our consciousnesses are increasingly mediated by electronic devices—The Evolving Self is a timely resource for anyone looking to improve our world for ourselves and for generations to come.

Download or read book Psychiatry in the New Millennium written by Sidney H. Weissman and published by American Psychiatric Pub. This book was released on 1999 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an era where scientific advances frequently make even the most recent scientific or medical journal articles dated soon after their publication, it is more crucial than ever for practitioners to be able to effectively evaluate new information. Using the millennium as a benchmark for surveying progress in the field, this indispensable volume captures the current state of the discipline and considers its future evolution. Key chapters by some of the field's most respected practitioners consider the impact of changing conceptual, organizational, and philosophical issues, as well as of neuroscience research findings, on the shape of the discipline. The current and future relevance of psychoanalysis; the role of social psychiatry as translator and bridge between the worlds of treatment, practice, and public policy; and the need for a new multiaxial diagnostic system that addresses motive and meaning as well as the biological and genetic contributions to behavior are just a few of the issues explored. Other chapters consider the role of genetics and molecular biology in research on mental illness; the potential uses of functional brain imaging in clinical practice; a clinical model for selecting psychotherapy and/or pharmacotherapy; and the challenge of developing research methods for assessing treatment effectiveness. Also examined are issues such as practice guidelines, managed care and the financing of mental health treatment, and the ethical conduct of the psychiatrist. The book's final chapters survey the psychiatric workforce of today and tomorrow, including its composition and education, and, finally, offer predictions about psychiatry in the next century. In Psychiatry in the New Millennium, psychiatrists and residents alike will find information vital to their understanding of both this century's psychiatric foundations and the next century's new discoveries.

This book was released on 2021-02-20 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who was Alfred Adler and why were his studies fundamental to depth psychology? How did the Individual Psychology he theorised change the history of human thought forever? What was Adler's impact on the world? This book is a journey into the legacy of Adlerian theory and depth psychology. It explores the significance of individual psychology in past and present society. The journey begins with Adler's life and the role he played in the psychoanalytic movement, and continues with the operating principles of Adlerian psychological theory. We will discover Adler's impact and importance in the development of psychodynamics and the working principles of Adlerian theory through key concepts such as feelings of inferiority, neurosis, lifestyle and the development of social feeling. The book will also highlight the practical implications of Adlerian theories in today's society, from pedagogy to sociology and general culture. Finally, it will proceed on a path of discovery towards the organisations and institutions that have taken up the Adlerian legacy, operating all over the world and spreading the principles of individual psychology.
