Laws do not protect against subtle prejudice and, because of its covert nature, it is difficult to observe and frequently goes undetected by both perpetrator and victim. Benign Bigotry uses a fresh, original format to examine subtle prejudice by addressing six commonly held cultural myths based on assumptions that appear harmless but actually foster discrimination: 'those people all look alike'; 'they must be guilty of something'; 'feminists are man-haters'; 'gays flaunt their sexuality'; 'I'm not a racist, I'm color-blind' and 'affirmative action is reverse racism'. Kristin J. Anderson skillfully relates each of these myths to real world events, emphasizes how errors in individual thinking can affect society at large, and suggests strategies for reducing prejudice in daily life"--Provided by publisher.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=477599http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=479637Description: "Sight can be so effortless, so useful, and so entertaining - the average human can distinguish several million colors; a falcon can see a fencepost from three thousand yards - that we never stop to think about how complex a process it is and how easily it can fail us. We never have as clear and complete a picture of the world around us as we think we do. The gaps between what our eyes take in and what is in our mind's eye provide the unifying theme in Bruno Breitmeyer's wide-ranging volume." "In his account of the many ways that our eyes, and minds, both see and fail to see, Breitmeyer moves from cataracts and color blindness through blindsight, acquired dyslexia, and visual agnosias, including fascinating cases like the woman who did not know what she was seeing was a dog until it barked. He then uses what we've learned about the limits of our sight to illustrate the limits of our ability to mentally visualize and our ability to reason, covering everything from logical fallacies to how our motives and emotions relentlessly color the way we see the world. This book will intrigue anyone interested in how easily we can fail to capture the world around us without even realizing it."--BOOK JACKET.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=479637http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=491179Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=491179http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478777Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478777http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=480374Description: Insructs parents on raising intelligent and emotionally stable children, from newborns to toddlers, by encouraging healthy brain activity and development and debunking traditional and contemporary "brain-boosting" methods.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=480374http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=475715Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=475715http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478261Description: An illustrated guide to the brain's development and functions.

Authors Scotia J. Hicks and Bruce D. Sales painstakingly critique the state of criminal profiling today and find the practice of criminal profiling to be an art more than an established science, lacking clear links among crime scene evidence and offender motives, personality, and behavior. With no firm scientific basis for their judgments, profilers differ in their conclusions and recommendations, rendering profiling problematic as a law enforcement tool. Criminal Profiling tackles this problem squarely, exploring in detail how a science of profiling may be constructed and tested. The comprehensive new approach offered here builds on existing practice and research and calls for empirical information that can lead to a sound new science of criminal profiling. This is the latest volume in the Law and Public Policy: Psychology and the Social Sciences series."--Jacket.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478043http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478257Description: The Culture of Excess is the first book to assess the impact of economic and social factors on the nation's psychological well-being.

Although the names of these psychiatrists and neurologists are familiar, we often know little about the individuals themselves and the circumstances surrounding their discoveries. What exactly did they discover, and who were their patients? The author reconstructs the lives of these and eight other names from the science of mind and brain. This work provides a fascinating, illuminating, and at times touching insight into the history of brain research. The case histories of Asperger, Bonnet, Capgras, Clerambault, Korsakoff and Gilles de la Tourette syndromes; Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases; the areas of Broca and Brodmann; Jackson's epilepsy; and the Gage matrix are all brought to life and transformed into unforgettable tales.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=479634http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478681Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478681http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=508139Description: Most people believe that the best way to motivate is with rewards like money-- the carrot-and-stick approach. That's a mistake, says Daniel H. Pink. In this provocative and persuasive book, Pink asserts that the secret to high performance and satisfaction--at work, at school, and at home--is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world. Drawing on four decades of scientific research on human motivation, Pink exposes the mismatch between what science knows and what business does-- and how that affects every aspect of life. He examines the three elements of true motivation-- autonomy, mastery, and purpose-- and offers smart and surprising techniques for putting these into action in a unique book that will change how we think and transform how we live.--Publisher.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=508139http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=503310Description: These vignettes can be used as an adjunct to teaching, using the DSM-IV training guide and DSM-IV training program; in self-instruction for individuals and groups; and as a video examination in DSM-IV/DSM-IV-TR diagnosis.

Bowlby's theory of attachment provides an excellent starting point for an explanation of nurturance, but there are some limitations in this theory, especially its tendency to minimize the caregiving side of the relationship. The book builds on and extends Bowlby's theory by examining the evolutionary evidence for both attachment and caregiving, the origins of which can be seen in the earliest mammals. It describes neurobiological research that has identified the brain circuits that underlie caregiving and attachment." "The book then describes a theory of relationships based on these neurobiological circuits and the resulting human desire to give and receive emotional contact, warmth, and support. The theory details the emotional logic of this relationship process. The proactive connection process (caregiving), characteristic of parents, involves a growing capacity for both empathy and responsibility. In the receptive process (attachment), trust grows from the experience of being cared for and nurtured. These processes coexist alongside other motivations with which they interact."--BOOK JACKET.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=488133http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=479633Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=479633http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478679Description: Knowing what emotional intelligence is, and knowing how to use it to improve your life, are two very different things.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478679http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=475424Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=475424http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478256Description: Kirsch, a researcher and clinical psychologist, for years referred patients to psychiatrists to have their depression treated with drugs before deciding to investigate for himself just how effective the drugs actually were.

Using modern theories of cognition and emotion as an integrative framework, Paul Silvia examines the nature of interest, what makes things interesting, the role of interest in personality, and the development of people's idiosyncratic interests, hobbies, and avocations. His examination reveals deep similarities between seemingly different fields of psychology and illustrates the profound importance of interest, curiosity, and intrinsic motivation for understanding why people do what they do. The most comprehensive work of its kind, Exploring the Psychology of Interest will be a valuable resource for student and professional researchers in cognitive, social, and developmental psychology."--Jacket.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478042http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=476978Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=476978http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=492714Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=492714http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=491174Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=491174http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=490027Description: Explains the four pillars of well-being--meaning and purpose, positive emotions, relationships, and accomplishment--placing emphasis on meaning and purpose as the most important for achieving a life of fulfillment.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=490027http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=477343Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=477343http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478041Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478041http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=475422Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=475422http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=493214Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=493214http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=491173Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=491173http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478252Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478252http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=477597Description: "Readers learn about Mattel Toys and the background behind Barbie's concept and development, how it was a solution for girls who wanted to imagine adult roles rather than just play mother, and details about inventor Ruth Handler."--Amazon.com.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=477597http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478040Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478040http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=475421Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=475421http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478677Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478677http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=477596Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=477596http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=479632Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=479632http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=477595Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=477595http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=492522Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=492522http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=480478Description: This book addresses a broad range of biologically based disorders that affect children's learning and development.

Consider Tolstoy's harrowing tale of Ivan Ilych, revisiting his past on the eve of his death, only to realize that the life he had been living was a lie. Consider as well the many times in our own lives when, upon reviewing the past, we are able to see what we could not, or would not, see earlier on." "Hindsight is also intimately connected to what Freeman calls narrative reflection: Through the distance conferred by time, we can look back on past experiences and see them anew, as episodes in an evolving story. As important as "being in the now" and "living in the moment" are, it is no less important to pause at times and, by looking backward, seek to discern those aspects of experience that might otherwise escape our notice. Far from necessarily leading to deception and lies, therefore, hindsight can lead to wisdom and indeed truth - of a sort, Freeman contends, is only available in retrospect." "In addition to serving as a central site of self-knowledge, hindsight plays an integral role in the process of moral growth. For, through hindsight, there emerges the opportunity not only to see the possible errors of our ways but to transcend them and thereby to move on to better ways of being in the world. Drawing on psychology, philosophy, literature, and personal experience, this wide-ranging volume offers an insightful and engaging exploration of the role of hindsight both in discerning the personal past and in deepening moral life."--BOOK JACKET.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=479631http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=488130Description: Human intelligence is among the most powerful forces on earth. It builds sprawling cities, vast cornfields, coffee plantations, and complex microchips; it takes us from the atom to the limits of the universe. Understanding how brains build intelligence is among the most fascinating challenges of modern science. How does the biological brain, a collection of billions of cells, enable us to do things no other species can do? In this book the author, a scientist who has spent thirty years studying the human brain, offers an adventure story, the story of the hunt for basic principles of human intelligence, behavior, and thought. Using results drawn from classical studies of intelligence testing; from attempts to build computers that think; from studies of how minds change after brain damage; from modern discoveries of brain imaging; and from groundbreaking recent research, he synthesizes often difficult to understand information. He explains how brains break down problems into useful, solvable parts and then assemble these parts into the complex mental programs of human thought and action. Moving from the foundations of psychology, artificial intelligence, and neuroscience to the most current scientific thinking, this book is for all those curious to understand how their own mind works.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=488130http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=480220Description: In this fascinating and witty account, Yale psychologist Paul Bloom draws on insights from child development, philosophy, neuroscience, and behavioral economics to examine the science behind our curious desires, attractions, and tastes, covering everything from the animal instincts for sex and food to the uniquely human taste for art, music, and stories.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=480220http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=479630Description: The story of hysteria is a curious one, for it persists as an illness for centuries before disappearing.

For people for whom pets are family members--animal lovers outside the fray--extremist positions in which all human-animal interaction is suspect often discourage involvement in the movement to end cruelty to other beings. In Loving Animals, Kathy Rudy argues that in order to achieve such goals as ending animal testing and factory farming, activists need to be better attuned to the profound emotional, even spiritual, attachment that many people have with the animals in their lives. Offering an alternative to both the acceptance of animal exploitation and radical animal liberation, Rudy shows that a deeper understanding of the nature of our feelings for and about animals can redefine the human-animal relationship in a positive way. Through extended interviews with people whose lives are intertwined with animals, analysis of the cultural representation of animals, and engaging personal accounts, she explores five realms in which humans use animals: as pets, for food, in entertainment, in scientific research, and for clothing. In each case she presents new methods of animal advocacy to reach a more balanced and sustainable relationship association built on reciprocity and connection. Using this intense emotional bond as her foundation, Rudy suggests that the nearly universal stories we tell of living with and loving animals will both broaden the support for animal advocacy and inspire the societal changes that will improve the lives of animals--and humans--everywhere."--Provided by publisher.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=504888http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=490024Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=490024http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=476410Description: A social history of the treatment of the mentally ill in America, this survey reveals the various methods of treatment from the 17th century to today: spinning, chilling, lobotomizing, and electroshock therapy, to name a few.

Why are men still far more likely than women to earn degrees in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics? And why are men on average more likely than women to be injured in accidents and fights? These and many other questions are the subject of both informal investigation in the media and formal investigation in academic and scientific circles." "In his landmark book Male, Female: The Evolution of Human Sex Differences, author David C. Geary provided the first comprehensive evolutionary model to explain human sex differences. Using the principles of sexual selection such as female choice and male-male competition, Geary systematically reviewed and discussed the evolution of sex differences and their expression throughout the animal kingdom, as a means of explaining the same process in Homo sapiens." "Now, over 10 years since the first edition, Geary has completed a massive update, expansion, and theoretical revision of his classic text. New findings in brain and genetic research inform a wealth of new material, including a new chapter on sex differences in patterns of life history development; expanded coverage of genetic research; fatherhood in humans; cross-cultural patterns of sex differences in choosing and competing for mates; and genetic, hormonal, and socio-cultural influences on the expression of sex differences. Finally, through his motivation to control framework, Geary presents a theoretical bridge linking parenting, mate choices, and competition with children's development and sex differences in brain and cognition. The result is an even better book than the original - a lively and nuanced application of Darwin's insight to help explain our heritage and our place in the natural world."--BOOK JACKET.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478037http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=492717Description: Essayist and provocateur Kay Hymowitz explores the unintended consequences of the feminist revolution--the infantilization of young men and the rise of lad culture.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=492717http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=488129Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=488129http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478036Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478036http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=477591Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=477591http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=493497Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=493497http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=479629Description: This text introduces readers to the issues of human memory broadly considered, encompassing both individual memory, collective remembering by societies, and the construction of history.

Why do we care so much about how others see us, about our reputation? What are the origins of such afflictions? It is because we are members of a species that evolved the unique propensity to reflect upon themselves as the object of thoughts, an object of thoughts that is potentially evaluated by others. But, Philippe Rochat's argument goes, this propensity comes from a basic fear: the fear of rejection, of being socially "banned" and ostracized. Others in Mind is about self-consciousness, how it originates and how it shapes our lives. Self-consciousness is arguably the most important and revealing of all psychological problems."--Jacket.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=477589http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=477592Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=477592http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=477588Description: Through the author's own original field research, a surprising picture of the moral development of children emerges to confirm that parents' intense focus on their children's happiness is turning many children into self-involved, fragile conformists who feel ashamed when they fail to measure up. He posits that parents' challenge is not to teach morality, but first, "to help children deal with the emotions, such as the fear of being a pariah or a 'loser, ' that cause them to transgress," and, secondly, "to help children develop a deep commitment to these values, a commitment that can override other needs and goals. The issue isn't moral literacy; it's moral motivation ... Appreciation brakes destructive impulses." Finally, "a third challenge is to develop in children a strong sense of self--so that they can withstand adversity in the service of moral goals--and to ingrain in children from early ages the habits of attending to and caring for others."http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=477588http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=491171Description: From the child taunted by her playmates to the office worker who feels stifled in his daily routine, people frequently take out their pain and anger on others, even those who had nothing to do with the original stress. The bullied child may kick her puppy, the stifled worker yells at his children: Payback can be directed anywhere, sometimes at inanimate things, animals, or other people. In this book, the authors, an evolutionary biologist and a psychiatrist, offer a look at this phenomenon, showing how it has evolved, why it occurs, and what we can do about it. Retaliation and revenge are well known to most people. We all know what it is like to want to get even, get justice, or take revenge. What is new in this book is an extended discussion of redirected aggression, which occurs not only in people but other species as well. The authors reveal that it's not just a matter of yelling at your spouse "because" your boss yells at you. Indeed, the phenomenon of redirected aggression, so called to differentiate it from retaliation and revenge, the other main forms of payback, haunts our criminal courts, our streets, our battlefields, our homes, and our hearts. It lurks behind some of the nastiest and seemingly inexplicable things that otherwise decent people do, from road rage to yelling at a crying baby. And it exists across boundaries of every kind, culture, time, geography, and even species. Indeed, it's not just a human phenomenon. Passing pain to others can be seen in birds and horses, fish and primates, in virtually all vertebrates. It turns out that there is robust neurobiological hardware and software promoting redirected aggression, as well as evolutionary underpinnings. Payback may be natural, the authors conclude, but we are capable of rising above it, without sacrificing self-esteem and social status. They show how the various human responses to pain and suffering can be managed mindfully, carefully, and humanely.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=491171http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478034Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478034http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=488125Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=488125http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478032Description: "Person-centered therapy, also called client-centered therapy, was created by Carl Rogers almost 70 years ago. In polls of psychotherapists conducted in 1982 and 2007, Carl Rogers was voted the most influential psychotherapist in history. His original approach gave rise to a number of variations on the original, all of which may be classified as person-centered psychotherapies because of their basis in Rogers' core therapeutic conditions of empathy, unconditional positive regard, and congruence." "This model emphasizes the client-therapist relationship, focusing on how the quality of moment-to-moment engagement between therapist and client can create optimal conditions for client growth. Person-centered therapies view clients as resourceful persons capable finding their own directions and solutions for their problems, and a fundamental value of the person-centered therapist is to honor and preserve the client's autonomy and choice." "In this book, Dr. Cain presents and explores person-centered psychotherapy, its theory, history, therapy process, primary change mechanisms, the empirical basis for its effectiveness, and contemporary developments that have refined theory and expanded how it may be practiced. In recent years dialogical, experiential, existential and expressive-creative influences have been integrated in practice." "This essential primer, amply illustrated with case examples featuring diverse clients, is perfect for graduate students studying theories of therapy and counseling as well as for seasoned practitioners interested in understanding how it has evolved in recent decades."--BOOK JACKET.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478032http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=475419Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=475419http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=504518Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=504518http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478250Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478250http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=504183Description: If you think you are not one of the 95% of us who procrastinates, take Dr. Steel's test. Based on more than a decade of research, and written with humor, humanity, and solid science, this book offers answers to such questions as: Are we biologically hardwired to procrastinate. If so, why? Is there a difference between procrastination and prudence? What tricks do we play on ourselves when we procrastinate at work, school, and home? If visualizing our dreams isn't enough to make them real, then what steps do we need to take? Along the way, Dr. Steel dispels the myths and misunderstandings of motivation and procrastination, replacing them with a clear explanation of why we put off until tomorrow exactly what we should be doing today. He then offers specific techniques we can use to tame the bad habits that adversely affect our health, happiness, and careers.--From publisher description.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=504183http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=488124Description: "The Psychologist's Companion is intended for students as well as young professionals and writers at all stages of their careers seeking inspiration and guidelines for better scientific writing.

Eudaimonia is not about good feelings but rather the fulfillment of human potentials. Fulfillment is made possible by virtue; the moderation of desire and emotion by reason. The Psychology of Happiness is the first book to bring together psychological, philosophical, and physiological theory and research in support of Aristotle's view. It examines the similarity between Aristotle's concept of virtue and modern cognitive theories of emotion. It discusses the discovery of human potentials, the development of virtue and its neurological basis, the mistaken idea that fulfillment is selfish, and several other issues related to the pursuit of a good human life.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=479099http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478249Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478249http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478033Description: "In this book, Gregory Feist reviews and consolidates the scattered literatures on the psychology of science, then calls for the establishment of the field as a unique discipline.

Recent landmark research from the genome project has proven Benson's theory: using the mind to quiet the body not only eases stress, it actually alters the activity of thousands of genes, promoting wellness. In short, science now proves that relaxation not only changes how a patient feels physically and emotionally, it has the power to transform genes, molecules, cells, and other physiological functions to relieve a variety of afflictions, from high blood pressure to chronic joint pain.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=477338http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=503426Description: Over the past decade, Hadler has established himself as a leading voice among those who approach the menu of health-care choices with informed skepticism. Only the rigorous demonstration of efficacy is adequate reassurance of a treatment's value, he argues; if it cannot be shown that a particular treatment will benefit the patient, one should proceed with caution. In Rethinking Aging, Hadler offers a doctor's perspective on the medical literature as well as his long clinical experience to help readers assess their health-care options and make informed medical choices in the last decades of life.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=503426http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478031Description: From the Publisher: Considering the many ways people seek emotional pleasure, relaxation or escape in self-harmful ways-from excessive alcohol use and drug abuse to smoking, overeating, compulsive gambling, out-of-control spending and even lesser behaviors like habitual nail-biting-there are few of us who do not have, or know someone close who has, an addiction or habit they wish they could break. The problem common to all, says author Browne-Miller, is that psychological reactions to events have motivated behaviors which, in turn, have created biochemical reactions in the brain that actually wires it for repeating the habit or addiction. In this groundbreaking book, Browne-Miller explains simply and clearly how we can control our thoughts to rewire the brain and beat the pattern that spurs repeating harmful habits, and addictions.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478031http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478030Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478030http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=480369Description: "Ninety percent of your brain cells are glial cells - and, until recently, scientists thought they did little more than hold your brain together.

But in this provocative book, Todd Buchholz will convince you that what you really want is to chase your tail--even if you never catch it.

He describes the major premises of each tradition, compares them to one another, briefly details the major research defining each point of view, and concludes each chapter with recommendations for further reading. Randolph R. Cornelius emphasizes the importance of the scientific and objectivc approach to the study of emotions and stresses the value of examining each perspective in its own terms as well as those of the other three. He includes many examples from contemporary life and literature to help students identify with the topics covered. An entire chapter is devoted to contrasting how each of the four traditions would explain four different emotions: fear, anger, love, and hope.

He begins with a discussion of theory and method: what self-efficacy is and how it can be developed. Bandura then demonstrates how belief in one's capabilities affects development and psychosocial functioning during the course of life, underscoring provocative applications of this work to issues in education, health, psychopathology, athletics, business, and international affairs.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478247http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=477337Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=477337http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478029Description: "Only a generation or two ago, childhood in the United States was understood to be a unique and vulnerable stage of development; a time for play and protection from adult preoccupations and responsibilities. In recent decades however, we appear to have jettisoned these norms, and the lines that separate the lifestyles of even very young children from adults are blurring. As widely known experts on the team that created this book explain, children begin formal education now in preschool, dress like adults, listen to the same music, play the same video games, explore the same Internet sites, and watch explicit depictions of sex and violence on TV and in movies. What is the impact of immersing children in a sexualized world? The Sexualization of Childhood first explains the nature of healthy sexual development. It then describes the ways in which children are being sexualized, and the physical and psychological consequences. It then looks at the lower and lower age at which girls are experiencing puberty, that reduction being fueled by the pseudoestrogens in so many of our foods and products, as well as obesity. Finally, it examines what we can do legally, politically, and as caregivers to protect children from developmentally inappropriate sexual experiences"--Publisher description.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478029http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=475413Description: As we enjoy the Internet's bounties, are we sacrificing our ability to read and think deeply? Carr describes how human thought has been shaped through the centuries by "tools of the mind"--from the alphabet to maps, to the printing press, the clock, and the computer--and interweaves recent discoveries in neuroscience. Now, he expands his argument into a compelling exploration of the Internet's intellectual and cultural consequences. Our brains, scientific evidence reveals, change in response to our experiences. Building on insights of thinkers from Plato to McLuhan, Carr makes a case that every information technology carries a set of assumptions about the nature of knowledge and intelligence. The printed book served to focus our attention, promoting deep and creative thought. In contrast, the Internet encourages rapid, distracted sampling of small bits of information. As we become ever more adept at scanning and skimming, are we losing our capacity for concentration, contemplation, and reflection?--From publisher description.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=475413http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=490021Description: Explores what scientists and researchers are discovering about sibling bonds, the longest-lasting relationships we have in our lives. Nobody affects us as deeply as our brothers and sisters--not parents, not children, not friends. From the time we--and they--are born, our siblings are our collaborators and co-conspirators, our role models and cautionary tales. They teach us how to resolve conflicts and how not to, how to conduct friendships and when to walk away. Our siblings are the only people we know who truly qualify as partners for life. In this groundbreaking book, renowned science writer Jeffrey Kluger explores the complex world of siblings in a way that is equal parts science, psychology, sociology, and memoir. Based heavily on new and emerging research, The Sibling Effect examines birth order, twin studies, genetic encoding of behavioral traits, emotional disorders and their effects on--and effects from--sibling relationships, and much more.--From publisher description.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=490021http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=492719Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=492719http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=477587Description: "A novel about a crumbling marriage resurrected in the face of illness, and a family's struggle to come to terms with disease, dying, and the cost of medical care in modern America"--Provided by publisher.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=477587http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=491167Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=491167http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=490020Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=490020http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=493233Description: This book presents integrative treatment strategies for low mood and depression; offers advice on lifestyle, behavior, and dietary changes; and helps readers assess their own emotional wellness and build personalized plans to manage their moods.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=493233http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=496464Description: "With an increasing emphasis on creativity and innovation in the twenty-first century, teachers need to be creative professionals just as students must learn to be creative.

Long considered a suicidal gesture, [this book] argues instead that self-injury is often a coping mechanism, a form of teenage angst, an expression of group membership, and a type of rebellion, converting unbearable emotional pain into manageable physical pain. Based on the largest, qualitative, non-clinical population of self-injurers ever gathered, noted ethnographers Patricia and Peter Adler draw on 150 interviews with self-injurers from all over the world, along with 30,000-40,000 internet posts in chat rooms and communiquâes. Their 10-year longitudinal research follows the practice of self-injury from its early days when people engaged in it alone and did not know others, to the present, where a subculture has formed via cyberspace that shares similar norms, values, lore, vocabulary, and interests. An important portrait of a troubling behavior, [the book] illuminates the meaning of self-injury in the 21st century, its effects on current and former users, and its future as a practice for self-discovery or a cry for help."--Publisher's description.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=503428http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=477333Description: "Dr. Irvin D.

While the Internet can enhance well-being, Elias Aboujaoude has spent years treating patients whose lives have been profoundly disturbed by it. Part of the danger lies in how the Internet allows us to act with exaggerated confidence, sexiness, and charisma. This new self, which Aboujaoude dubs our "e-personality," manifests itself in every curt email we send, Facebook "friend" we make, and "buy now" button we click. Too potent to be confined online, however, e-personality traits seep offline, too, making us impatient, unfocused, and urge-driven even after we log off. This first scrutiny of the virtual world's transformative power on our psychology shows us how real life is being reconfigured in the image of a chat room, and how our identity increasingly resembles that of our avatar.--From publisher description.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=490730http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478772Description: A witty and wide-ranging investigation of the central problem of our time: how to save ourselves from what we want. This is journalist Akst's irreverent search for answers, delving into overeating, overspending, procrastination, anger, addiction, wayward sexual attraction and most of the other homely transgressions that bedevil us daily in a world of freedom, prosperity and technological empowerment. Akst ransacks history, literature, psychology, philosophy and economics to alarm, teach, empower and, at the very least, entertain. Using self-control as a lens rather than a cudgel, he draws a vivid picture of the many-sided problem of desire--and delivers a blueprint for how we can steer shrewdly toward the wants we most want for ourselves. At stake is not just our health but our humanity, for what could make us more fully human than the ability to set aside impulse when we choose to do so?--From publisher description.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478772http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=479626Description: "How and why has depression become the dominant personal unhappiness of our time?

The marketplace is full of gadgets and tools that claim to make your child smarter, happier, or learn languages faster, all built on the premise that manufacturers know something about your child's brain that you don't. These products are easy to sell, because good information about how children's minds really work is hard to come by. In their new book, neuroscientists Sandra Aamodt and Sam Wang separate fact from fiction about the inner workings of young minds. Martialing results from new studies and classic research, Aamodt and Wang provide the most complete answers out there on this subject. It liberates readers from superstitions and speculation, such as Freud's idea that all relationships are modeled on one's mother, or that it's not safe to eat sushi while pregnant. And it will reveal new truths about everything from how to make your baby sleep, to why we love to snuggle, to how children learn, forget, play, talk, walk, and feel.

Yet because it is the least understood of the senses, myths abound. For example, contrary to popular belief, the human nose is almost as sensitive as the noses of many animals, including dogs; blind people do not have enhanced powers of smell; and perfumers excel at their jobs not because they have superior noses, but because they have perfected the art of thinking about scents. In this entertaining and enlightening journey through the world of aroma, olfaction expert Avery Gilbert illuminates the latest scientific discoveries and offers keen observations on modern culture.--From publisher description.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=477762http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=491165Description: From the first birthday to the second, everything you need to know about caring for, nurturing, understanding, and keeping up with your incredible 1 year old.--Provided by publisher.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=491165http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=479625Description: "The unconscious sprang to the attention of the West a hundred years ago, and we are still struggling to absorb its full impact. It was one thing to understand the concept, to see it and believe it, but another to live with it, to take in fully its challenge to our deepest cultural assumptions. Today, as we expand our understanding of its reach, we are still coming to grips with what it means. This "new unconscious" is driven by the identities we assume, the groups we belong to, the ideas we inherit, the languages we use - all the elements that provide meaning and structure to our world." "What You Don't Know You Know is about this emergent understanding, and how it forces us to rethink our relationships with each other as well as our beliefs about what it means to be a person, to have a self. It is for all of those who want a better understanding of the complexity of human motivation: For the executive faced with employees resisting change, the elected official trying to forge agreements among competing interests, the consultant brought in to restructure an ailing corporation, or the many individuals struggling to understand their relationships and why they do the things they do. All too often, our actions do not conform to our explicit intentions or to common sense. We are more constricted than we think, but sometimes we are also smarter."--BOOK JACKET.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=479625http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=491164Description: "Trauma survivors frequently struggle with unwanted memories, intense emotions, and problems with everyday functioning.

But what does it mean to win or lose? And why do we care so much? Does winning make us happy? Winning undertakes an unprecedented investigation of winning and losing in American society, what we are really after as we struggle to win, our collective beliefs about winners and losers, and much more. The author argues that victory and loss are not endpoints or final destinations but gateways to something of immense importance to us: the affirmation of our place in the world. But he also shows that competition is unlikely to provide us with the answers we need. Winning and losing are artificial and logically flawed concepts that put us at odds with the world around us and, ultimately, ourselves. He explores the social and psychological effects of the language of competition in American culture. Primarily concerned with our shared obsessions about winning and losing, this work proposes a new mind set for how we can pursue our dreams, and, in a more satisfying way, find our proper place in the world.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=488122http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=480368Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=480368http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478027Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478027http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=488121Description: "Filled with research-based techniques for expanding creativity and increasing productivity This provocative book reveals why sitting in front of a light box can increase your creativity more than listening to a Bach concerto as example.
