Culture, Peers, and Delinquency
by Joseph R Ferrari Clifford R O'DonnellIncrease your understanding of the etiology, prevention, and treatment of delinquency! This informative book provides you with specific strategies to assess delinquency and to increase the effectiveness of any prevention program. In addition, it presents a community peer model of delinquency with important implications for delinquency prevention programs and for delinquency research. Examining specific cultural groups in the United States, including Caucasians, East Asians, South-East Asians, Polynesians/Micronesians, and Vietnamese, as well as Japanese youths in their homeland, this model shows how families, schools, and neighborhoods affect the formation of peer groups-and how these groups can facilitate or inhibit delinquency. Culture, Peers, and Delinquency explores the interplay of historical, traditional culture with contemporary youth culture. It also examines the relationship between individual outcome and community disorganization and illustrates how peer relationships are conditioned by gender. The book will increase your understanding of the etiology, prevention, and treatment of delinquency with examples that show treatment alternatives and outcomes, focusing on: intercultural differences in major descriptors of the attitudes and activities of youth the demographics, economics, and history, as well as a fascinating and disturbing cultural analysis of the ever-increasing rate of juvenile delinquency in Japan the influence of peers and culture on Vietnamese youth gangs in Honolulu gender-difference studies of mixed-culture incarcerated adolescents-and what these youths have to say about the detention facility where they go to school a careful analysis of homes, schools, and neighborhoods in terms of their dysfunctions and how they increase the likelihood that their youth will spend time with similar peers and without adult supervision

Program Implementation in Preventive Trials
by Joseph R Ferrari Joseph A DurlakProgram Implementation in Preventive Trials shows you how you can take a more active part in program evaluation and how you can direct existing programs toward new horizons of more effective service. In this concise, focused look at community-based psychology and its operative programs, you’ll see how and why community programs should be comprehensively evaluated. You’ll see the importance of understanding how interventions were conducted before making conclusions about a program’s impact, and you’ll discover why there’s an ever-widening gap between what is planned and what actually gets implemented in community-based programs.In short, Program Implementation in Preventive Trials helps you see the increasing need for the assessment of implementation, the “active” side of community psychology. You’ll gain instant understanding as to why there’s a need for constant monitoring of a program’s use, and you’ll find answers to the following questions that continue to plague community psychologists who are interested in implementing programs of change: Does the current personnel follow the implementation program? Will new members to the setting understand and utilize the procedures developed for that setting? Will the procedures be modified such that their utility decreases? Specifically, you’ll read about: how to ensure intervention programs are conducted as planned why implementation data should be collected what protocol compliance is and its role in treatment programs when to be flexible so modifications can be made in program procedures who can enhance program adherence by “buying in” to a multi-change agent approach where cultural sensitivity helps programs be more faithfully adopted and conductedIf you’re a scholar or a student interested in studying the fundamental issue of implementation, you’ll definitely want to see what these professionals have compiled in Program Implementation in Preventive Trials. You’ll find that your program agenda, however beneficial it is now, will only be raised and elevated to a new level of performance by the positive examples and research carefully collected here.

Human Emotions and the Origins of Bioethics
by Susi FerrarelloThis book provides a unique phenomenological dialogue between psychology and philosophy on the origin of bioethics that shows the importance of bringing emotions into bioethical discourse. Divided into two parts, the book begins by defining bioethics and explaining the importance of emotions in making us human, allowing us to consider life holistically. Ferrarello argues that emotions and bioethics are better served when they are combined, and that dismissing emotions as nothing more than a nuisance to our rationality has created a society that does not fit our human nature. Chapters explore how ethics relate to intimate life and how ethical agents determine themselves within their surrounding world, uniquely and interrogatively using ‘bioethics’ to consider not only medical dilemmas but also issues concerning environmental and individual well-being. By addressing personal, interpersonal, and societal problems as dynamically interconnected in bioethical problems she helps us to renew our sense of responsibility toward a good quality of life. This interdisciplinary book is invaluable reading for students of health science, psychology, and philosophy, as well as for those interested in the link between emotions and bioethical discourse from both a psychological and philosophical perspective.
The Phenomenology of Sex, Love, and Intimacy
by Susi FerrarelloThe Phenomenology of Sex, Love, and Intimacy presents a phenomenological exploration of love as it manifests itself through sexual desires and intimate relationships. Setting up a unique dialogue between psychology and philosophy, Susi Ferrarello offers a perspective through which clinicians can inform their practice on diverse issues of human sexuality. Drawing on Husserl’s phenomenology, Ferrarello’s analysis of love spans a range of disciplines including psychology, theology, biology, epistemology, and axiology, as well as areas related to gender, consent, and political control. Combining Husserlian perspectives on ethics with a focus on lived-experience, this text will deepen therapists’ understanding of love as the subject of interdisciplinary inquiry and enable them to locate questions of sexuality and intimacy within an academic framework. With key theoretical principles included to allow clinicians to think through and clarify their practice, this book will be a valuable tool for sex therapists, marriage and family therapists, and counselors, as well as psychology and philosophy students alike.
The Role of Bioethics in Emotional Problems: A Phenomenological Analysis of Intentions
by Susi FerrarelloFollowing up from the previous book, Human Emotions and the Origins of Bioethics, thisvolume focuses on four psychological problems, anxiety, narcissism, restlessness,and emotional numbness, and explores how these problems influence bioethical issues and what bioethics can do to fix them. The Role of Bioethics in Emotional Problems presents a phenomenological exploration ofemotional intention and describes how one’s choices can determine a better relationship tothemselves and their community. Not only does this book provide the reader with an exhaustive account of the philosophical and psychological meaning of practical intentionality within Husserl’s phenomenology, but it also applies Husserl’s ethics to contemporary studies of human emotions and bioethical problems. Offering a non-reductionist model for an interdisciplinary inquiry into an emotional experience, it integrates clinical practice and articulates foundational knowledge of human emotional life at a professional level. Aimed at students of philosophy, psychology, psychotherapy, and bioethics, this book is a unique phenomenological dialogue between these disciplines on emotional well-being.

Pieces of Light: How the New Science of Memory Illuminates the Stories We Tell About Our Pasts
by Charles FernyhoughShort-listed for the Royal Society Winton Prize for Science Books, the Best Book of Ideas Prize, and the Society of Biology Book Awards • Book of the Year: Sunday Times, Sunday Express, and New Scientist“In its stunning blend of the literary with the scientific, Pieces of Light illuminates ordinary and extraordinary stories to remind us that who we are now has everything to do with who we were once, and that identity itself is intricately rooted the transporting moments of remembrance. We are what we remember.” — André Aciman, author of Out of Egypt and Harvard SquareA new consensus is emerging among cognitive scientists: rather than possessing fixed, unchanging memories, we create new recollections each time we are called upon to remember. As psychologist Charles Fernyhough explains, remembering is an act of narrative imagination as much as it is the product of a neurological process. In Pieces of Light, he illuminates this compelling scientific breakthrough in a series of personal stories, each illustrating memory's complex synergy of cognitive and neurological functions.Combining science and literature, the ordinary and the extraordinary, this fascinating tour through the new science of autobiographical memory helps us better understand the ways we remember—and the ways we forget.
A Thousand Days of Wonder
by Charles FernyhoughA father's intimate look at his daughter's developing mind from birth to age three Unlike any other time in our lives, we remember almost nothing from our first three years. As infants, not only are we like the proverbial blank slate but our memories are like teflon: nothing sticks. In this beautifully written account of his daughter's first three years, Charles Fernyhough combines his vivid observations with a synthesis of developmental theory, re-creating what that time, lost to the memory of adults, is like from a child's perspective. In A Thousand Days of Wonder, Fernyhough, a psychologist and novelist, attempts to get inside his daughter's head as she acquires all the faculties that make us human, including social skills, language, morality, and a sense of self. Written with a father's tenderness and a novelist's empathy and style, this unique book taps into a parent's wonder at the processes of psychological development.
The Voices Within: The History and Science of How We Talk to Ourselves
by Charles FernyhoughA luminous exploration of the nature of thoughts, from daydreams to the voices in our headsAt the moment you caught sight of this book, what were you thinking? Was your thought a stream of sensations? Or was it a voice in your head? Did you ask yourself, "I wonder what that's about?" Did you answer? And what does it mean if you did?When someone says they hear voices in their head, they are often thought to be mentally ill. But, as Charles Fernyhough argues in The Voices Within, such voices are better understood as one of the chief hallmarks of human thought. Our inner voices can be self-assured, funny, profound, hesitant, or mean; they can appear in different accents and even in sign language. We all hear them-and we needn't fear them. Indeed, we cannot live without them: we need them, whether to make decisions or to bring a book's characters to life as we read. Studying them can enrich our understanding of ourselves, and our understanding of the world around us; it can help us understand the experiences of visionary saints, who might otherwise be dismissed as schizophrenics; to alleviate the suffering of those who do have mental health problems; and to understand why the person next to us on the subway just burst out laughing for no apparent reason.Whether the voices in our heads are meandering lazily or clashing chaotically, they deserve to be heard. Bustling with insights from literature, film, art, and psychology, The Voices Within offers more than science; it powerfully entreats us all to take some time to hear ourselves think.

The Knowledge Illusion: Why We Never Think Alone
by Philip Fernbach Steven Sloman“The Knowledge Illusion is filled with insights on how we should deal with our individual ignorance and collective wisdom.” —Steven PinkerWe all think we know more than we actually do. Humans have built hugely complex societies and technologies, but most of us don’t even know how a pen or a toilet works. How have we achieved so much despite understanding so little? Cognitive scientists Steven Sloman and Philip Fernbach argue that we survive and thrive despite our mental shortcomings because we live in a rich community of knowledge. The key to our intelligence lies in the people and things around us. We’re constantly drawing on information and expertise stored outside our heads: in our bodies, our environment, our possessions, and the community with which we interact—and usually we don’t even realize we’re doing it. The human mind is both brilliant and pathetic. We have mastered fire, created democratic institutions, stood on the moon, and sequenced our genome. And yet each of us is error prone, sometimes irrational, and often ignorant. The fundamentally communal nature of intelligence and knowledge explains why we often assume we know more than we really do, why political opinions and false beliefs are so hard to change, and why individually oriented approaches to education and management frequently fail. But our collaborative minds also enable us to do amazing things. This book contends that true genius can be found in the ways we create intelligence using the world around us.

365 Citaten van Wijsheid: Dagelijkse citaten van wijsheid om wijzer en gelukkiger te worden

Kijk, ik weet niet wie je bent, maar ik weet zeker dat je nu deze pagina leest, omdat je iemand bent die meer wil. Je bent iemand die geen genoegen neemt met het gemiddelde. Zie je, ik begrijp de wens om te willen leren maar tegelijkertijd op te zien tegen het lezen van een lijvig en dik boek! Daarom hebben we dit boek gemaakt.... Meer over dit boek: Zou je liever een les leren dank zij de 30 jaar levenservaring van anderen of 30 jaar leven om diezelfde les te leren? Denk daar eens over na. Wat ik je eigenlijk vraag is… waarom niet leren van de mislukkingen, successen en levenservaringen van andere mensen? Het was Socrates, een van de grootste Griekse filosofen die zei dat… "Echte Wijsheid Komt tot Ieder van Ons Wanneer We Beseffen Hoe Weinig We Begrijpen van het Leven, Onszelf en de Wereld om ons Heen". Het is toch zo, dat we echt geen lijvig boek vol met jargon en techniciteiten moeten lezen om wijzer, bewuster en vredelievender te worden?

365 Frases de Autodisciplina: Frases Diárias de Autodisciplina para Hábitos Duradouros, Força Mental e Atingir os Objetivos
by Xabier K. Fernao“Somos aquilo que fazemos repetidamente. A Excelência não é um ato, mas sim um hábito” – Aristóteles Qual é o fator delimitador #1 entre pobres e ricos, os bem-sucedidos e os fracassados, as pessoas felizes e infelizes? Autodisciplina. Pense nisso. Quando não é disciplinado em relação ao seu trabalho/emprego, acumula trabalho e eventualmente enerva-se e fica esgotado. Quando não é disciplinado com as suas finanças, irá acumular despesas e dívidas desnecessárias e irá eventualmente enervar-se e ficar esgotado a nível económico. Já percebeu a ideia. Contudo, o que se passa com o livro “365 Dias de Frases de Autodisciplina”? Concorda que a mentalidade é 80%, e as estratégias e mecânicas são apenas 20% no que toca a atingir o sucesso? Já entendeu a ideia geral. As pessoas estão sempre a perseguir os 20%, as coisas vistosas, e pensam que UMA boa ideia vai discipliná-las. São, contudo, todos os lembretes diários, influência e ambiente que fazem com que as pessoas se disciplinem e comprometam todos os dias. Não sei o que está a tentar alcançar. Talvez seja o seu corpo de sonho, ter aqueles abdominais que sempre quis. Talvez seja uma inovação no seu negócio, acrescentando mais um zero no final do rendimento anual deste ano. Não importa. Aquilo que sei sobre si, ainda assim, é que é alguém que quer mais. E isso já é espetacular. Quer mais dinheiro, mais saúde, mais felicidade, mais sexo, mais prazer, mais conhecimento e mais liberdade… e não existe nada de errado com isso. A vida é sobre crescer e expandir o nosso ‘eu’. Ou crescemos um pouco a cada dia ou morremos um pouco a cada dia. Expresso-lhe o meu mais profundo respeito por querer escolher o caminho ascendente, o caminho do crescimento e da autodisciplina.
730 Citas de Hombre Alfa: Citas de Hombres y Estado Físico para el Empoderamiento Personal, la Confianza en sí mismo y el Éxito Personal
by Xabier K. FernaoXabier K. Fernao es un firme creyente de que las citas son una de las cosas más hermosas y sabias que se han creado. Piénsalo. Puedes leer todo el libro grueso y grueso. En busca de conocimiento, será más probable que el bombardeo con un aluvión de confusión. Todos están diciendo qué pensar y cómo pensar.

Selbstdisziplin in 365 Zitaten: Zitate für jeden Tag – ändere deine Gewohnheiten, stärke deinen Geist, erreiche deine Ziele
by Xabier K. Fernao„Wir sind, was wir immer wieder tun. Vorzüglichkeit ist daher keine Handlung, sondern eine Gewohnheit.“ – Aristoteles Was ist der wichtigste Faktor, der zwischen Armen und Reichen, Erfolgreichen und Erfolglosen, Glücklichen und Unglücklichen unterscheidet? Selbstdisziplin. Denk mal darüber nach. Wenn du disziplinlos im Beruf bist, häuft sich bald die Arbeit auf, und am Ende bist du gestresst und ausgebrannt. Wenn du disziplinlos mit deinem Geld umgehst, häufst du unnötige Kosten und Schulden auf und bist am Ende finanziell gestresst und ausgebrannt. Du siehst, worauf ich hinauswill. Aber wieso ein Buch mit „Selbstdisziplin in 365 Zitaten“? Stimmst du mir zu, dass Erfolg zu 80% von der Einstellung und nur zu 20% von Strategien und Mechanismen abhängt? Du siehst, worauf ich hinauswill. Die Leute jagen immer den 20% nach, den unrealistischen Dingen, und denken, dass die EINE große Idee sie zu disziplinierten Menschen machen wird. Aber so ist es nicht. Es sind die täglichen Impulse, Eingebungen und nicht zuletzt das Umfeld, die einen jeden Tag aufs Neue zur Disziplin motivieren. Ich weiß nicht, was du dir vorgenommen hast. Vielleicht ist es deine Traumfigur, der Waschbrettbauch, den du immer schon haben wolltest. Vielleicht ist es dein beruflicher Durchbruch, eine Null mehr hinter dem Jahreseinkommen. Es ist auch egal. Was ich aber über dich weiß: du bist jemand, der mehr will. Und das ist ziemlich großartig. Du willst mehr Geld, mehr Gesundheit, mehr Glück, mehr Sex, mehr Lebensfreude, mehr Wissen und mehr Freiheit… und daran ist absolut nichts verkehrt. Im Leben geht es darum, zu wachsen und sich weiterzuentwickeln. Wir können entweder jeden Tag ein bisschen wachsen oder jeden Tag ein bisschen sterben. Ich finde es unglaublich bewundernswert, dass du den Weg bergauf gewählt hast, den Weg des Wachstums und der Selbstdiszip
La reconquista de la creatividad: Cómo recuperar la capacidad de crear que llevamos dentro
by Fernando Trias de BesLa creatividad no tiene final, no conoce más límite que el que la propia vida le imponga. Cuando se acabe la vida, la creatividad lo hará con ella. Mientras haya vida, la creatividad permanecerá. Y eso, como seres vivos e inteligentes que somos, es una gran noticia.Fernando Trías de BesLa creatividad es una facultad innata a la condición humana. Este es el punto de partida de la reflexión de Fernando Trías de Bes en La reconquista de la creatividad. El acto de crear es consustancial a nuestra existencia. Sin embargo, a medida que nuestras vidas avanzan vamos progresivamente perdiendo el impulso de esta facultad. El miedo al error, el imperio de la lógica, el sistema educativo o los protocolos y rutinas producen individuos eficientes y adaptados pero se convierten en algunas de las circunstancias que van limitando de forma progresiva nuestra capacidad de crear. La buena noticia es que la facultad creativa permanece latente en nuestro interior y es recuperable. Fernando Trías de Bes nos ofrece una serie de herramientas prácticas para reconquistar nuestra capacidad de crear, tanto a través de la identificación y erradicación de los obstáculos e inhibidores del proceso creativo como de una serie de potenciadores de la creatividad.
Global Psychologies: Mental Health and the Global South
by Suman Fernando Roy MoodleyThis book critiques our reliance on Eurocentric knowledge in the education and training of psychology and psychiatry. Chapters explore the diversity of ‘constructions of the self’ in non-Western cultures, examining traditional psychologies from Africa, Asia, Australasia, and Pre-Columbian America. The authors discuss liberation psychologies and contemporary movements in healing and psychological therapy that draw on both Western and non-Western sources of knowledge. A central theme confronted is the importance, in a rapidly shrinking world, for knowledge systems derived from diverse cultures to be explored and disseminated equally. The authors contend that for this to happen, academia as a whole must lead in promoting cross-national and cross-cultural understanding that is free of colonial misconceptions and prejudices. This unique collection will be of value to all levels of study and practice across psychology and psychiatry and to anyone interested in looking beyond Western definitions and understandings.

Cultural Diversity, Mental Health and Psychiatry: The Struggle Against Racism
by Suman Fernando Dr Suman Fernando'Black and minority ethnic communities lack confidence in mental health services', according to the National Service Framework for Mental Health published by the Department of Health in 1999. Cultural Diversity, Mental Health and Psychiatry examines how and why this situation has come about, and makes specific practical, often surprising, suggestions for changing the status quo. In his latest and most critical analysis, Suman Fernando reflects on the current situation in light of his own personal experience, academic research and anecdotal reports. He weaves together themes of immense importance for the future of psychiatry and mental health services in a multi-cultural setting, exploring:* the nature of racism and its permeation into mental health services * the inside story of the struggle against racism in statutory and voluntary sectors of the mental health system* the history of psychiatry and the role of spirituality, holistic thinking, psychotherapy and Asian traditions of medicine. Trainees, practitioners, and managers of mental health services will profit from the practical application of Fernando's latest ideas, and students and academics will benefit from his theoretical guidance.
