In this book Windy Dryden considers the works of the early pioneers of single-session therapy (SST) spanning from 1975 to 1989 and outlines the contribution they made to present-day single-session therapy.

Windy Dryden gives a focused, detailed consideration of the works of Freud, Otto Spoerl, Kenneth Rockwell and Rolffs Pinkerton and Bernard Bloom. This book presents a unique perspective on the founders of SST and the implication of their work on modern-day practice.

This book will be of interest to any single-session practitioners and to any students or clinicians exploring brief therapy models.

Telepathy in the Clinical Process explores telepathy as it appears in the psychoanalytic process, both in contemporary practice and in historical contexts.

The contributors explore striking dynamic and clinical data in considering how telepathy can express itself in transference and countertransference, its profound effect on psychoanalysts, and its frequent role in helping patients in treatment. From a wide range of theoretical persuasions - relational, Bionian, Winnicottian, contemporary Freudian - each author explores this phenomenon. Focused on the clinical process, the book contains examples from the contributors' own practice throughout.

Telepathy in the Clinical Process will be of great interest to psychoanalysts in practice and in training. It will also be relevant to academics and students of psychoanalytic studies and parapsychology.

Creative~Relational Inquiries in the Wild accompanies researchers and writers drawn to the possibilities of what 'creative~relational inquiry' might offer. Departing from the well-trodden paths of traditional, procedural qualitative methodology, each chapter explores how creative~relational inquiry invites an engagement that is intricate, intimate, and emergent. The volume meets the intrepid inquirer/reader by providing lively exemplars from those who are 'doing' creative~relational inquiries in and for their research. Each author approaches creative~relational inquiry differently: there is no one way to do a creative~relational inquiry and there is no one to say who is or is not doing it 'correctly'. The book will enable readers to find their own ways of plugging the creative~relational into their research projects.

Exploring the psychology of everyday behaviour, this book uses an evolutionary perspective to explain experiences that many people share and can easily relate to.

This book focuses on topics that are applicable to what people do and experience in their daily lives. Why do we choose the partners we do? Why do we laugh? Why is play so essential for children? Why are we drawn to stories, music, and sweet food? The book examines such topics as sex and relationships, humour, family dynamics, religion, and media and technology through an evolutionary psychology perspective, looking deep into the ancestral past to uncover the adaptive roots of modern life. In so doing, it reveals how ancient psychological mechanisms continue to shape daily choices, pleasures, fears and relationships. Each chapter can be read as a standalone topic or as part of a bigger exploration to understand why we do what we do.

Written in an accessible style and covering common human behaviours and experiences, this is the ideal book for undergraduate students in introductory modules, as well as more specific courses on such topics as Psychology of Sport, Psychology of Humour, and Psychology of Music. It will also appeal to anyone with an interest in psychological science looking to understand themselves and others.

Dissociation, Compulsion, and Language Games in Psychoanalysis investigates the strangely underexplored topic of the phenomenology of language in psychoanalytic dialogue-as impacted by trauma, addiction, and other compulsive aversions.

Drawing on the long tradition of phenomenology and exploration of the importance of language in philosophy, as well as the author's extensive clinical experience, this book explores how language acts as the interface of human connection and how, without really understanding what it is and how it functions, true communication and connection cannot be achieved. The author looks at how we can use the concept of family resemblance in the way we use words to come to an understanding of each other, so that even if we don't use language in exactly the same way, we can find common ground that let's us understand and empathize with each other.

With rich clinical vignettes and a fresh new application of philosophical ideas, this is key reading for all psychoanalysts and psychotherapists.

This comprehensive text provides an overview of mindfulness and its relationship to mental health. Chapters trace the roots of mindfulness in Eastern traditions, contextualize it within various cultural traditions, and highlight its application to mental health and a variety of mental health conditions.

Drawing on innovative and burgeoning research in the area, the text offers an introductory framework that is accessible by readers at all levels of knowledge and experience.

Focusing on specific mindfulness practices in areas including the creative arts and human development, it will guide students and practicing clinicians in developing their knowledge and personal practices of mindfulness.

Bringing together psychological, cognitive, and sociocultural perspectives, this book offers a new way of understanding personal information management (PIM) as an emotional as well as practical activity. It explores how everyday acts such as saving, sorting, retrieving, and discarding information are tied to memory, identity, responsibility, care, and control.

Affective PIM examines the emotional dimensions of PIM, showing how what we save, delete, organise, and search for is shaped as much by feeling as by function. Organised in three parts, the book moves from conceptual foundations to empirical case studies and narratives from everyday life and periods of transition, and then to future directions, including AI- enabled automation, wearable technologies, and user- centred design. Reflection prompts throughout support critical engagement and help readers connect the discussion to their own information practices. The result is a theoretically grounded and accessible account of how PIM is lived, felt, and negotiated in contemporary digital life.

The book is intended for researchers and students in library and information science, information behaviour, digital literacy, human-computer interaction, and user experience design. It will also be valuable to designers, educators, and other readers interested in the human side of personal information, digital life, and the changing relationship between people, technologies, and everyday information practices.

Community Mental Health: Challenges for the 21st Century examines the complex systems, policies, and practices that shape mental health care in community settings. Bringing together leading scholars and practitioners, the book explores how services can respond effectively to the needs of diverse populations while addressing persistent gaps in access, equity, and outcomes.

This volume provides a comprehensive overview of contemporary community mental health, integrating research, policy analysis, and real-world practice. Chapters examine core issues such as recovery-oriented care, trauma-informed approaches, serious mental illness, homelessness, substance use, and criminal justice involvement. New and updated material addresses emerging challenges including gun violence, immigration-related trauma, adolescent mental health, and the ongoing effects of structural inequities. Contributors analyze how social determinants, funding systems, and organizational structures influence service delivery, and they highlight innovative programs designed to promote resilience, recovery, and social inclusion. Through case examples and evidence-based frameworks, the book demonstrates how interdisciplinary collaboration and community-based interventions can improve outcomes for individuals and families navigating complex mental health systems.

The book is intended for undergraduate and graduate students in social work, psychology, counseling, public health, and related disciplines, as well as practitioners, policymakers, and administrators working in behavioral health systems.

In 2006, the United States Department of Defense for the first time authorized the use of FDA-approved psychiatric medications in the physical and tactical spaces of military operations including active combat. This policy change overturned a century of military psychiatry orthodoxy, which prioritized non-pathologizing, non-medication treatment for combat stress. Amid an ongoing global war, the US military embraced psychopharmacy as a radical and untested tool for keeping soldiers on the counterinsurgency battlefield and deploying them again and again, even with psychiatric diagnoses. Through powerful storytelling and original analysis, Stabilizing Empire uncovers a quiet revolution during the war on terror: the pharmaceuticalization of battlefield mental health care.

This book explores the inevitable intrusions of the analyst's personal life into clinical work and how to manage the challenges of self-disclosure, secrecy, and analytic identity within this context.

Are non-disclosure, abstinence, and neutrality realistic goals, or are they an artifact of an idealized analytic identification? Does self-disclosure of any sort by the analyst derail the analytic process and irrevocably damage the transference experience? Self-disclosure remains a compelling and central construct in the field of psychotherapy and psychoanalysis and there are few significant compendiums on this topic that explore the diversity of analytic voices. This book is an extraordinary collection of ideas from experienced psychoanalysts and psychotherapists who have wrestled with questions of self-disclosure from a theoretical, ethical, professional, and personal perspective. It describes the shifting landscape of the analytic field as it relates to self-disclosure, non-disclosure, the concept of neutrality and privacy, the limitations of the analytic frame, and the changing context of theoretical and global realities.

Self-Disclosure and the Analytic Relationship will be a useful resource within all psychoanalytic contexts including academic, clinical training, and post-graduate study.

With its focus on intentional decision-making, it allows readers to move forward with clarity, confidence, and fewer regrets, regardless of the path they choose.

This captivating book tackles one of humanity's most profound questions: what is consciousness, and could we ever recreate it digitally? From ancient myths of immortality to cutting-edge neuroscience, this book takes readers on a fascinating journey through our evolving understanding of the mind. Written in clear, accessible language for curious minds everywhere, it reveals how we've progressed from discovering the first neurons to mapping entire brain networks with revolutionary technologies like fMRI and brain-computer interfaces. At its heart, however, this is a book about consciousness itself: the mysterious experience of being aware, feeling, and thinking that makes us human. It unpacks the leading theories of consciousness and shows why solving this puzzle is crucial to building truly intelligent machines or achieving digital immortality. It also explores the complex relationship between human and artificial intelligence, comparing how our brains learn and think with how modern AI systems operate. While today's AI can beat us at chess and generate human-like text, it lacks the rich inner experience that defines consciousness. Beyond the science, the book also confronts the real challenges of mind uploading: the staggering technical hurdles, the biological complexities of the brain, and the profound philosophical questions about identity and what makes you "you." This thought-provoking exploration will change how you think about consciousness, technology, and what it means to be human in an age of AI. Whether you're fascinated by the future of AI, intrigued by the mysteries of the mind, or simply wondering if immortality might one day be possible, this book offers an engaging and enlightening journey into the deepest questions of our existence. It is an essential read for AI researchers and engineers, neuroscientists and consciousness researchers, futurists and technologists, along with anyone wanting to learn more about the future of AI.

It continues to explore why individuals think, feel, and act differently in similar situations, while incorporating fascinating case studies to illustrate key concepts. A significant enhancement in this edition is the inclusion of a groundbreaking chapter, 'Past, present, and future in personality psychology: On "Racial," Cultural, and Ethnic Diversity.' Here, Ramirez and Rodriguez bring their expertise in Latina/o psychology to propose a shift from individual-centric to community-centric perspectives, fully embracing multiculturalism.
Designed for high school students and beginning undergraduates, and suitable for use on A-level courses in the UK, this book is written in accordance with the British Psychological Society's guidelines. By rigorously examining influential theories, cutting-edge research, and future trends, Personality Psychology: The Basics, 2nd Edition, provides an essential introduction to the discipline, offering fresh insights into the complexities of human behaviour.

Elements of Self-Destruction explores how individuals unconsciously enact self-harming patterns through a phenomenological psychoanalytic lens.

This revised edition deepens and expands the theoretical framework, offering a more integrative and culturally responsive examination. Drawing on the author's extensive clinical practice, the book explores psychic fragmentation, repetition compulsion, moral injury, and dissociation - not only as intrapsychic symptoms but as socially reinforced phenomena. Brent Potter uses clinical theory, philosophical analysis and a new psychobiographical study to hold a mirror to unconscious processes of self-erasure, framed through the lens of existential inquiry, psychoanalysis, and contemporary cultural dynamics.

Elements of Self-Destruction will be of great interest to psychoanalysts and psychotherapists in practice and in training, clinicians seeking trauma-informed resources for understanding self-harming and dissociative presentations, and academics and students of depth and existential psychology, philosophy, trauma studies, political psychology, and cultural studies.

A sobering assessment of the systematic failures of mental health work.

The United States is in the midst of a mental health crisis that cannot be ignored. Its effects are visible in overcrowded emergency rooms, homeless encampments, and frequent police encounters responding to people with serious mental illness. And yet, the many ways we attempt to support people with mental illness-from medical care to housing support to basic hygiene-seem to never take meaningful hold. All this despite the tireless work of professionals who attempt to help people bring together the pieces of a life. The problem is not in any individual effort to ameliorate the problem; it's the many ways these programs fail to work together. For those with serious mental illness, and those who work to ameliorate it, there is no system. There is only mess.

In A Mad Mess, sociologist Owen Whooley uncovers the exasperating barriers, bureaucratic mismatches, and threadbare resources that have made a mess of what should be a supportive system. Set in Albuquerque, New Mexico-a city whose struggles echo communities nationwide- the book reveals the challenges mental health workers face daily, from tedious paperwork to occasional violence. Whooley interviewed mental health workers at two local mental health services organizations, the specialized behavioral health division of the Albuquerque Police Department (APD), and a psychiatric emergency department at the University of New Mexico Hospital. Despite mostly good intentions and sometimes heroic efforts, he shows why this important work so often ends in failure.

Written with deep sympathy and unflinching honesty, A Mad Mess reveals how the lack of a cohesive mental health system obstructs critical care and places roadblocks before front-line mental health workers at every turn. Most critically, for those who suffer from severe mental illness, these setbacks are a constant reminder that the institutions charged with helping them have left them on their own.

This volume is an interdisciplinary exploration of philosophical psychology utilising insights from the study of literature.

It traverses disciplinary boundaries in two directions: some chapters proceed from the theoretical foundations of philosophical psychology and then reach into literary works, whilst others start from literary works, then reach into philosophy. Every chapter asks what literature can deliver to philosophy just as much as the reverse direction.

This volume aims to enrich and further elucidate many of the concepts central to philosophical psychology and is essential reading for all scholars, researchers and advanced students in the philosophy of mind and in the philosophy of literature.

This book seeks to help bridge the divide between the various theoretical definitions of self-awareness and the empirical study of the concept in fields such as experimental cognitive sciences and clinical neuroscience. To do so, it brings together theoretical, methodological and empirical contributions that discuss self-awareness in three specific domains of cognitive sciences: methods for assessing self-awareness; theoretical and ethical implications of self-awareness in clinical settings; and the repercussion of re-evaluating self-awareness within different cognitive theoretical models.

Chapters in the first part of the book address how different methodological approaches for the study of self-awareness may lead to enhanced discussions of cognitive manifestations regarding self-processes. This part deals with the intersection between behavior, phenomenal awareness and cognitive traits associated with human self-process within experimental and psychological assessment, including notes from animal self-awareness. Then, chapters in the second part show how self-awareness can be a pivotal variable in the discussion of diagnosis, intervention and ethical issues pertaining to applied cognitive fields. Finally, theoretically driven chapters in the third part address how varied contexts of self-awareness expression may lead to renewed discussions in the field of enactive cognition. Together this set of chapters bring together current scientific data and theoretical reflections to point future directions for the scientific study of self-awareness.

Self-Awareness and Cognition: New Perspectives from Cognitive Sciences will be of interest to researchers in the field of cognitive sciences as well as to anyone interested in the relationship between self-awareness and cognition in both applied and theoretical research fields, such as philosophy of mind and clinical neuroscience, among others.

Cultural Psychology in Clinical Research and Practices brings together international scholars and practitioners to examine why cultural psychology is essential for contemporary clinical practice. Building on Shweder's (1990) understanding of culture as the set of traditions and social practices that shape how people think, feel, and act, the book argues that clinical psychology must move beyond universalised Western models if it hopes to understand distress as it is actually lived. Culture is not treated here as a peripheral attribute but as a constitutive element of mind, identity, and meaning-making, central to how suffering is expressed and how healing becomes possible.

Although the chapters are not organised into formal sections, they can be read as contributing to four interrelated themes: Reframing Theory and Foundations; Politics, Justice, and Intercultural Practice; Identity, Language, and the Therapeutic Encounter; and Embodiment, Culture, and Lived Experience. These themes offer readers a guide to how the contributions, taken together, show culture at work in clinical research and practice. Viewed through these lenses, the contributions demonstrate how culture shapes clinical work in psychotherapy and health-related settings, and offer insights relevant to wider applied practice. Chapters draw on semiotic, phenomenological, decolonial, and interdisciplinary approaches to explore topics such as the colonial roots of diagnostic concepts, the politics of therapeutic practice, linguistic identity in bilingual counselling, intersectionality in self-disclosure, intercultural encounters with Indigenous communities, and cultural idioms of suffering.

By foregrounding cultural psychology, Cultural Psychology in Clinical Research and Practices offers a critical and forward-looking agenda for clinical psychology research and practice. It invites readers to reconsider long-held assumptions about neutrality, objectivity, and universality in mental health, and instead to embrace culturally grounded, ethically engaged approaches that recognise power, history, and context. The result is a timely contribution for researchers, practitioners, and students seeking a clinical psychology that is globally relevant, locally meaningful, and responsive to the plurality of human experience.

This book presents a critical and comparative history of how human populations have been socially constructed and categorized through racializing processes. Building on Renato Foschi's Italian volume Storia dei razzismi (2022), this expanded English edition offers a unique synthesis of historical case studies and the underlying logics that have sustained racism across time and cultures.

Foschi distinguishes between spiritual and scientific racisms, tracing their development through religious, philosophical, and pseudo-scientific traditions. He examines how various groups-including Jewish communities, people of African descent, women, working-class individuals, and LGBTQ+ people-have been positioned as distinct "races" through shifting systems of exclusion. The book also explores lesser-known cases, such as the racialization of Southern Italians, to demonstrate how these dynamics operate within national and regional contexts.

The second half of the book focuses on resistance-how racialized communities have mobilized pride, solidarity, and intersectional alliances to challenge discrimination. The final chapter reflects on human biodiversity and the enduring misconceptions that continue to shape contemporary forms of racialization.

With its interdisciplinary scope and original theoretical framing, this book offers essential tools for understanding the historical and conceptual foundations of racism. It will be of interest to scholars and students in history, philosophy, psychology, and critical race studies.

This book offers a pioneering exploration of how digital influencers are shaping body perceptions and affecting the physical and emotional well-being of children and adolescents in the digital age. Bringing together media and communication studies, psychology, advertising, and youth studies, the volume analyzes influencer ecologies that span fitfluencers, kidfluencers, microinfluencers, and AI-generated virtual personas, and traces their effects on body image, mental health, consumer socialization, and digital well-being.

Bringing together chapters written by researchers from different countries - Belgium, Brazil, Chile, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, United States - this contributed volume analyzes how content produced by digital influencers about mental health, physical exercises, food consumption, physical appearance and body image impact children's and adolescents health and well-being in the real world. The volume concludes with evidence-informed guidance for educators, families, platforms, and policymakers, emphasizing disclosure standards, protections for minors, and AI and media literacy to support more livable digital environments.

Digital Influencers and Children and Youth Well-Being will be of interest to researchers from various disciplines, such as health, developmental and social psychology; public health; education; and media and communication studies. It will also be a valuable tool for psychologists, educators, social workers and public health professionals directly working with children and adolescents or involved with the formulation and implementation of public policies for these age groups.
