This book explores how virtual reality (VR) can be used to examine perceptual differences in neurodivergent individuals, particularly those with autism and ADHD, by introducing a new methodological framework. Through a participatory, person-centric, and arts-based approach, it challenges the dominant deficit-focused research paradigms by centring nonverbal expression, creativity, and lived experience.

The author addresses power imbalances in experimental research and the value of non-verbal and experiential modes of expression, unveiling the role of immersive technologies in creating more inclusive research environments. Drawing on qualitative and quantitative approaches, this volume shows how VR can serve as both a research platform and a therapeutic tool while addressing ethical and accessibility considerations, hence offering strategies for designing VR experiences that are both engaging and safe. A must-read for researchers, educators, and practitioners interested in neurodiversity, human-computer interaction, and immersive technologies, this book bridges a critical gap in the existing literature and offers new pathways for inclusive and ethical research inquiry, disability studies, and STS.

Examining the inequities that continue to impede health equity and those who champion it, this book advocates a new framework for global health and wellness based on Indigenous American psychology and culture.

Throughout history, intergenerational detriments to health, including colonialism, environmental degradation, poverty, racism, unrestrained materialism, and violence, have impeded efforts to advance global health equity. The COVID-19 pandemic has only capitalized on these inequities and exposed considerable weaknesses in addressing collective, global health concerns.

Using an Indigenous American framework, this book promotes a new understanding of how to reclaim and sustain health equity. An Indigenous paradigm views the natural world as inextricably connected and envisions a holistic model of health linked to egalitarian relationships with others and the environment. This book presents students and practitioners with a new method of addressing health equity-one which does not operate under the same cultural assumptions that created widespread inequities in the first place.

This book examines contemporary technologically saturated life and argues that decline is not approaching but already underway. It names current reality as immediate modernity and defines its dominant state as The Decline: a loop where digital technology and capitalism reinforce one another while eroding meaning, stability, and future direction. The chapters trace how acceleration shifts from promise to paralysis: systems upgrade, yet social life repeats, exhausts, and frays. Drawing on social theory and cultural critique, the analysis follows platforms, artificial intelligence, crisis driven media, and data economies as they reshape identity, attention, and affect. Anxiety is reframed not as personal malfunction but as a rational response to structural conditions that demand constant productivity while delivering diminishing returns. Rather than predicting collapse, the book reveals how decline is presented as progress itself, and offers a diagnostic framework for understanding burnout, digital culture, technocapitalism, and experiences of lost futures.

Explores racial/ethnic identity development as a life-long process of negotiating self, context, and others' perceptions and behaviors from early adolescence to adulthood.

Guided by early foundational and recent compelling theories on race/ethnicity and identity development across the lifespan, Celina Chatman Nelson, Stephen C. Peck, Oksana Malanchuk, and Jacquelynne S. Eccles provide a detailed analysis of their collected research on the Maryland Adolescent Development in Context Study (MADICS) to demonstrate the diversity of racial/ethnic identity profiles and how they change over time. MADICS began with nearly 1500 7th graders and their families in the early 1990s, following many of them into their early 30s at the turn of the millennium. Using mixed-method research involving case studies and interview data, this book demonstrates racial/ethnic identity as multidimensional, contextualized, and idiosyncratic, within a bidirectional, iterative, and nuanced process. Through the presentation of their research findings on Prince George's County youth, the authors encourage families, schools, and communities to have an open dialogue about race/ethnicity to promote active reflection not only among developing youth, but also within the world we live in today.

This book provides a thorough introduction to disability clinical education, laying the groundwork for deeper understanding. The book delves into various theories and frameworks, offering a comprehensive foundation that is absent in much of current literature. The book also includes step-by-step guidance for curriculum development, ensuring effective program design tailored to diverse needs. The book explores innovative technology integration strategies that current literature frequently overlooks, and the authors compiled a wide range of evidence-based practices supported by the latest research. Emphasizing interdisciplinary collaboration, this book showcases how different it is from other books in the market on the topic of disability clinical education.

This book explores the critical role of performance criteria (PC) in research and interventions for autistic individuals, emphasizing its function as a moderator between independent and dependent variables by establishing higher durability of behavioral change. In the field of autism research, it is common to target a dependent variable that focuses on either increasing adaptive skills (such as social skills, verbal language, academic, health skills, and daily living skills) or reducing destructive/problem behaviors (such as hitting, biting, wounding, screaming, and engaging in off-task behavior). While PC is commonly used to evaluate intervention effectiveness, recent studies suggest that PC levels are associated with improved maintenance and generalization of trained behaviors. Additionally, emerging research highlights the potential of PC in calculating intervention effect sizes, offering a new perspective on assessing clinical significance.

Given the importance of PC in establishing evidence-based practices, this book aims to provide a comprehensive discussion on how to determine optimal PC levels for various skill domains in autistic individuals. By synthesizing existing research and offering practical guidance, the book equips researchers and practitioners with the necessary tools in terms of assigning PC levels to evaluate interventions with greater accuracy and ensure socially meaningful behavioral change.

This comprehensive Handbook will change the current mindset about sibling relationships-from a relationship of secondary importance to parent-child relationships-to one that reflects the many ways siblings contribute to individual development and family functioning throughout the life course and across diverse cultural contexts. As it presents the growing body of research on sibling relationships, it offers a new sibling-informed theoretical framework that challenges traditional notions of the sibling bond as one based on hostility, rivalry, and conflict. New directions are offered for research and practice that will address the real needs of families. This Handbook is relevant to all researchers and mental health practitioners.

This book is about psychiatric nursing in Bangladesh. Bangladesh, a densely populated South Asian nation with around 170 million people, has recently transitioned to a lower-middle-income country, yet it faces a significant dual burden of communicable and non-communicable diseases. There is an extreme shortage of nurses in Bangladesh where currently (as of February 2023) 77,838 registered nurses are available. As per a cautious projection, the demand for nurses will be 483,000 in 2030. The latest estimate revealed that there are 0.43 psychiatric nurses for every 100,000 patients. Currently, no textbook is available in Bangladesh specifically focused on psychiatric nursing, despite the country's urgent need for mental health education. This book would provide basic insights and culturally relevant skills to help bridge the health services in the country. Offering localized content, practical case studies, and context-specific interventions will equip the next generation of nurses to better serve the mental health needs of Bangladeshi communities. There is no similar book in the market on psychiatric nursing in Bangladesh. Hence this will be the first book of its kind according to the curriculum of BSc Nursing in Bangladesh.

This book provides a comprehensive public health and disability-focused analysis of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) across the lifespan-from childhood through adolescence and adulthood. It examines the global epidemiology of ADHD, developmental trajectories, and emerging evidence on potential biological, psychological, and social mechanisms underlying the disorder. The volume critically explores ADHD's classification as a disability, its psychiatric comorbidities, suicide risk, and its impact on educational attainment, occupational functioning, and social participation. It synthesizes evidence-based intervention strategies tailored to different life stages, including pharmacological treatments, psychosocial interventions, school-based supports, and community-level approaches. Importantly, the book evaluates international variation in ADHD diagnosis, treatment access, and policy frameworks, highlighting disparities shaped by gender, culture, race, and socioeconomic context. It identifies key research gaps and outlines future directions for advancing early detection, integrated care, and prevention-oriented public health models. By bridging epidemiology, mechanistic insights, clinical research, and policy analysis, this book offers an integrated roadmap for improving ADHD recognition, management, and advocacy globally. Timely and evidence-driven, it is essential reading for clinicians, researchers, educators, policymakers, and disability advocates.

? This book addresses the underexplored area of challenges in mental health research in the Indian context by presenting the unique experiences encountered by researchers. This discussion is expected to contribute towards broadening the global perspective on research mental health and illness. Despite being well versed in traditional research methodology topics, researchers often find themselves unprepared for unexpected situations faced in their journey. These include challenges ranging from acquiring ethical approval, developing research designs, and working with vulnerable participants such as those who have lived through loss, trauma, and other mental health challenges. This book offers the experiences and recommendations of researchers who have navigated these challenges successfully, for the benefit of an academic audience. It is expected that these research narratives will contribute towards preparing researchers for the challenges they may encounter in their field work. Overall, this book aims to bridge the gap between textbook information and experiences from fieldwork. We further hope to build awareness and solutions in this area through this attempt. This book also addresses culture specific issues in the research process, ultimately enriching the global discourse on mental health research and practices. This book appeals to a wide readership, including psychiatrists, psychologists, sociologists, health policymakers, social workers, health economists, anthropologists, and philosophers, fostering a multidisciplinary and comprehensive understanding of mental health research worldwide and inspiring future initiatives.

This book provides a clear and concise introduction to the work of French cultural icon Jacques Lacan (1901-1981) for criminologists, sociologists, and social theorists. The authors approach Lacan as a structuralist rather than a psychoanalyst or psychiatrist, exploring his perspective on the relationships among being, agency, meaning, and structure; his construction of subjectivity; and his register theory, constituted by the Real, the Imaginary, and the Symbolic.

The book begins with an analysis and evaluation of the only substantive criminological deployment of Lacan's philosophy to date, in the ultra-realist framework developed by Steve Hall, Simon Winlow, and Thomas Raymen. The strengths of this framework suggest that Lacan's work has even more relevance to crime and harm in the digital age than it did in the 20th century. Lacan for Criminologists picks up where ultra-realism leaves off, engaging directly with Lacan's Ecrits and seminars to demonstrate their value to a critical criminology that is theory-led, evidence-based, and zemiologically-focused.

This book will be fascinating reading for cultural, critical, and ultra-realist criminologists, as well as students and scholars of sociology, cultural studies, and social theory.

This open access volume is an interdisciplinary anthology on loneliness that brings together for the first time a variety of disciplines to provide a comprehensive overview of research into a defining condition of our age.

Loneliness is currently a widely debated topic in intellectual and public discourse that is occasionally, though controversially, seen to be an important public health hazard and that is often, and also controversially, said to be a marker of our digital and post-pandemic age. The volume brings together the contributions from leading researchers in philosophy, literature, psychology, cognitive science, history, anthropology, health science and business studies. Despite the wide scope of topics and differences in methodology, the contributors all investigate, in various forms, conceptual and empirical questions as they arise in the attempt to understand what loneliness is and whether we should think of it as the signifier of our time. The collection brings together chapters that investigate loneliness from a conceptual standpoint such as philosophy, psychoanalysis, or literature. They prepare the ground for a second section in which loneliness is investigated as it manifests itself in old age and at the end of life, as posing crucial problems for contemporary society. The contributions to the third section then research concrete manifestations of loneliness, such as loneliness amongst asylum seekers, in the workplace, and during the Covid-19 pandemic. Together these chapters offer a unique portrait of loneliness in our time that presents this hotly debated phenomenon in a multi-faceted, novel, and nuanced way.

The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the University of Exeter, Maynooth University, UCLA and Bentley University.

A Psychoanalytic Framework for Civic Renewal: Reimagining Democracy from the Ground Up offers a compelling and original thesis: that the global crisis of democracy is not a purely political or economic problem but a deeply rooted psychological and relational one.

The book synthesizes key psychoanalytic and psychological concepts to argue that the health of a democracy is directly tied to the citizenry's capacity for mentalization-the foundational ability to understand ourselves and others in terms of our inner thoughts, feelings, and intentions. It methodically builds its argument, beginning with the developmental origins of mentalization in infancy and linking it to attachment theory and the cognitive function of theory of mind. It then expands this framework to the societal level, demonstrating how a collective failure to mentalize leads to the collapse of epistemic trust and a dangerous regression to primitive psychological defenses like splitting and "us vs. them" thinking. The work presents a powerful, integrated solution: a new educational model that cultivates not only mentalization and its core social-emotional skills but also the complementary intellectual capacity for critical thinking.

This book serves as a vital resource for educators, policy makers, and mental health professionals, offering an interdisciplinary framework that bridges the divide between abstract political theory and practical, psychological solutions.

Mental Health in Coaching Practice: Approaches to Navigate Intersecting Spaces speaks directly to a growing reality in coaching: mental health is present in the room, whether we name it or not. As clients bring complexity, distress, and uncertainty into coaching conversations, many practitioners find themselves asking: What am I holding? What is mine to work with - and what isn't? This book offers clarity at that edge.

Grounded in research and lived practice, it is a reflective guide for coaching practitioners (coaches and coach supervisors) and leaders who want to respond with ethical awareness, confidence, and care - without diagnosing, treating, or straying beyond their professional scope. Structured around seven guiding principles and a Why / What / How / Reflection framework, the book integrates theory with application. The Integrative Reflective Practice Model (IRM) and the Flounder-Flourish Matrix (FFM) are brought to life through case vignettes, reflective questions, and tools.

This is not about having all the answers or training you to be a coach therapist. It is about developing the discernment to know what to do next - and why.

This book addresses the unique interplay of interpersonal characteristics of the clinician and client, coupled with effective treatment tools, to explore how to leverage authentic therapeutic relationships to enhance treatment outcomes.

Within the field of eating disorder treatment, authentic relationships are the cornerstone to breaking through these difficult to treat diseases. A clinician's tone, affect, physical presence, appropriate use of disclosure, and embodiment of the work impact whether a client will be receptive to care. By focusing on the therapeutic relationship, rather than focusing on the disorder, this book empowers both therapists and clients to break free from harmful cycles and destructive patterns that perpetuate disordered eating and move toward self-acceptance.

By bridging the gap between relational dynamics and evidence-based practice, this book provides invaluable insights and tools for clinicians and offers a fresh perspective on the therapeutic process, emphasizing the critical role of authentic relationships in effective treatment.

In this concise yet illuminating volume, Giuseppe Craparo explores the work of Pierre Janet, deftly outlining his theory of mind and pioneering studies on dynamic psychology, trauma, and dissociation.

Craparo covers the main concepts of Janet's theory, from disaggregation, fixed ideas, psychic force, and psychic tension to the field of consciousness and subconscious. Working from the view that Janet was not only a forerunner of psychoanalysis, this book shows how his work at the intersection of medicine, philosophy, and experimental psychology retains vital relevance for contemporary practice. This book provides new perspectives on Janet's influence on Freudian and Relational Psychoanalysis, as well as his working relationship with Freud.

Pierre Janet: A Contemporary Introduction is essential reading for practicing psychologists, psychotherapists, and psychoanalysts, as well as students and scholars interested in Janet and his legacy in the fields of psychotraumatology and psychoanalysis.

Therapeutic Assessment and Interpersonal Neurobiology shows how collaborative assessment can function as a potent therapeutic intervention-reducing shame, strengthening epistemic trust, and catalyzing meaningful change.

Integrating research on affect regulation, memory reconsolidation, and intersubjectivity with richly detailed case examples, the book demonstrates how psychological tests can be used not only to understand clients but to help them experience themselves differently. The author highlights common traps that therapists fall into and provides strategies for them to improve their practical skills and enhance the course of treatment to transform clients' lives. The book emphasizes the importance of client collaboration, secure attachment, mentalization, addressing shame, and epistemic trust during psychological interventions. Bridging psychological assessment and modern psychotherapy, this volume provides assessment professionals and trainees with a rigorous, humane, and clinically actionable framework for using tests as instruments of psychological healing.

As a sequel to his influential book, In Our Clients' Shoes: Theory and Techniques of Therapeutic Assessment, the author offers a renewed and transformative vision of psychological assessment grounded in contemporary neuroscience, attachment theory, and decades of clinical practice. This is an invaluable resource for psychologists, particularly those who use the MMPI-2, MMPI-3, Rorschach, AAP, and EMP.

This is a unique text that explores quantum-like modelling frameworks that connect quantum mechanics with cognitive science and consciousness studies to propose a new ontological framework that transcends traditional boundaries between physics, philosophy, and cognitive science. The book develops along two complementary paths. First, it explores quantum-like modelling, an exciting emerging field where researchers apply logical and mathematical structures from quantum mechanics and information theory to cognitive modelling and decision science. Second, it investigates the profound links between quantum science and consciousness studies, incorporating insights from advanced mathematical frameworks such as category theory. By synthesizing these two approaches, the authors propose a novel framework termed 'quantum-like reality' that moves beyond pragmatic modelling to offer deeper ontological thinking that can enrich both foundational understanding and applied research. This will be an interesting read for students and researchers working at the intersection of quantum physics, cognitive science, and consciousness studies.
