Dictionary of Psychopathology
by Henry KellermanPsychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, psychiatric nurses, theoreticians, practitioners, and other allied professionals who together represent the entire arc of the mental health field must be versed in psychopathology, the study of mental and emotional phenomena, abnormal psychology, and specific symptoms and behaviors. Building a reference that speaks to all of these professions and subjects, Henry Kellerman assembles the first dictionary to focus exclusively on psychopathology, featuring more than two thousand entries (over fifteen hundred primary and more than five hundred subentries) on specific symptoms and disorders, general syndromes, facets of personality structure, and diagnosis. He also includes a sampling of benchmark contributions by theoreticians and researchers that cover the history of psychopathology. These contributions reflect those of a psychodynamic nature as well as cognitive and behavioral approaches, and represent the relatively new field of neuropsychoanalysis as well. This branch of neuroscience is concerned with the relation between the brain and the mind, specifically with reference to brain architecture and function.Monitored by a distinguished editorial board, the Dictionary of Psychopathology mostly adheres to the latest DSM nomenclature while also retaining useful residual diagnoses of previous DSM formulations, as well as diagnostic formulations outside of traditional nosologies. The aim of the Dictionary is to broadly contribute to the synthesis of psychopathology.

Dictionary of Sexual Dreams
by Martha ClarkeApproximately 8 percent of what we dream about has sexual connotations. Interestingly, authorities claim that sexual dreaming is often more intense than the physical act of sexual intercourse. Dictionary of Sexual Dreams helps us understand, as well as enjoy, these desires.While we sleep, certain things take place that we would not necessarily pursue while awake: participating in an orgy, making love with someone of the same gender, or being intimate with our best friend's partner. From women who dream about making love with a stranger to men who dream about group sex, the fantasies that are revealed through dreams are symbolic, shedding light on our most profound impulses.This unique dictionary teaches us how to:* Interpret these erotic dreams* Understand our true desires* Figure out the meaning that gets obscured by our nocturnal dreams* Get in touch with our masculine/feminine side in our dreams* Better enjoy daytime sexual activity

Didactics in a Changing World: European Perspectives on Teaching, Learning and the Curriculum (Transdisciplinary Perspectives in Educational Research #6)
by Kirsti Klette Florence Ligozat Jonas AlmqvistThe collection of chapters in this book results from ongoing scientific discussions on teaching, learning and curriculum studies in Europe. Didactics as a research field and area of knowledge deals with questions about teaching, learning and educational content.

It connects curriculum issues to classroom practices and student’s learning experience in a unique manner that goes beyond the field of curriculum studies and the field of the learning sciences. Focusing on different research traditions for conceptualizing the relationships between learning and teaching through the educational content learnt, the book presents advanced research in field of “Didactics - teaching and learning” that addresses the new challenges faced by the teaching profession.The collection of chapters in this book supports the continuous growth of comparative research on classroom practices and addresses in a novel manner the need for including international perspectives on Didactics in teacher education programs and graduate schools in education worldwide.Part 1 highlights the recent advances in the theoretical development of Didactics and more particularly the development of comparative didactics. Part 2 illustrates the diversity and complementarities of theoretical and methodological approaches for the empirical study of classroom practices.

Didactics of Smart Pedagogy: Smart Pedagogy for Technology Enhanced Learning
by Linda DanielaThe focus on smart education has become a new trend in the global educational field. Some countries have already developed smart education systems and there is increasing pressure coming from business and tech communities to continue this development. Simultaneously, there are only fragmented studies on the didactic aspects of technology usage. Thus, pedagogy as a science must engage in a new research direction—smart pedagogy. This book seeks to engage in a new research direction, that of smart pedagogy. It launches discussions on how to use all sorts of smart education solutions in the context of existing learning theories and on how to apply innovative solutions in order to reduce the marginalization of groups in educational contexts. It also explores transformations of pedagogical science, the role of the educator, applicable teaching methods, learning outcomes, and research and assessment of acquired knowledge in an effort to make the smart education process meaningful to a wide audience of international educators, researchers, and administrators working within and tangential to TEL.
Die AfD – psychologisch betrachtet
by Claus Leggewie Eva Walther Simon D. IsemannWarum wählen Bürgerinnen und Bürger rechte Parteien wie die AfD, deren Politik oftmals sogar ihren eigenen Interessen widerspricht? In diesem Buch werden psychologische Faktoren zur Erklärung dieses Phänomens diskutiert. Hauptthese ist, dass die AfD in drei zentralen Konfliktfeldern (Ökonomie, Identität, Vertrauen) scheinbare Lösungen anbietet. Anhand verschiedenster Quellen wie Sprachanalysen, Wahlstatistiken und Parteiprogrammen wird vor dem Hintergrund aktueller psychologischer Theorien die Wirkung der Partei auf die Wählerschaft analysiert. Schließlich bietet das Buch auch einen pragmatischen Ausblick zu Aufklärung und Prävention, um rechtspopulistischen Tendenzen entgegenzuwirken.

Die Bedeutung von Übergangsritualen in reflexiver Beratung
by Antje PfabIn der Gegenwartsgesellschaft rückt die individuelle Lebensgestaltung und Verantwortung für ein als gelungen erlebtes Leben in den Vordergrund. Bereitschaft zu Wandel und Weiterentwicklung ist dabei sowohl in der Arbeitswelt gefordert als auch beim Wechsel von Lebenslagen und –phasen. Gleichzeitig ist in der Gegenwartsgesellschaft eine Abnahme der Bedeutung von Übergangsritualen zu beobachten, dagegen eine Zunahme reflexiver Beratungsformate, in denen (insbes. im Coaching) Transformationsprozesse, Übernahme neuer Rollen und Funktionen und als krisenhaft erlebte Berufssituationen thematisiert werden. Das Buch beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, welchen Stellenwert Übergangsrituale in der reflexiven Beratung haben. Die empirische Untersuchung zeigt, dass Übergangsrituale im Beratungs- und Therapiediskurs präsent sind. Unter Berücksichtigung soziologischer und sozialphilosophischer Theorien sowie des ritualtheoretischen Diskurses wird ein Konzept von Übergangsritualen in reflexiver Beratung entwickelt, das eine weitergehende Unterstützung von Transformationsprozessen erlaubt. Darüber hinaus werden auch Rückschlüsse auf eine zeitgemäße Gestaltung von Übergangsritualen in der individualistisch geprägten Gegenwartsgesellschaft außerhalb des Beratungskontexts erörtert.

Die Effektivität von Online-Reviews in Hersteller-Online-Shops (Applied Marketing Science / Angewandte Marketingforschung)
by Katharina Elisabeth KessingOnline-Bewertungen können Einzelhändlern helfen, die Unsicherheit der Kunden vor dem Kauf zu verringern, die Conversion-Rate zu erhöhen und den Umsatz zu steigern. Aber gelten diese Vorteile auch für Hersteller und ihre eigenen Online-Shops? Auf der Grundlage sozialpsychologischer Theorien und sechs experimenteller Studien untersucht Katharina Kessing die unterschiedliche Effektivität von Online-Reviews in Hersteller- und Händler-Online-Shops und identifiziert dabei zwei gegensätzliche Effekte: Online-Reviews, die in Hersteller-Online-Shops veröffentlicht werden, werden tendenziell als manipuliert wahrgenommen, sodass Kunden dem Hersteller ein größeres kommerzielles Interesse unterstellen. Dies wirkt sich wiederum negativ auf die Kaufabsicht aus. Zweitens können Online-Reviews das Gefühl der Dankbarkeit der Kunden gegenüber dem Online-Shop verstärken, was ihre Kaufabsichten steigert. Abschließend werden zwei effektive Strategien zur Reduktion der schädlichen Auswirkungen von Online-Reviews im Hersteller-Online-Shop vorgestellt: unabhängige Quellen und multidimensionale Ratings. Die Ergebnisse können Herstellern bei der Entscheidung helfen, ob und wie sie Online-Reviews in ihren eigenen Online-Shops veröffentlichen sollten.
Die Entscheidung: Lösungen einer unlösbaren Aufgabe (essentials)
by Hans-Jürgen Arlt Jürgen SchulzDie Entscheidung ist Freiheit in Aktion. Personen wie Organisationen erleben sie als Einladung und als Unvermeidlichkeit. Das Erkenntnisinteresse der beiden Autoren zielt darauf, Lebensverhältnisse besser zu begreifen, die Entscheiden als Normalverhalten einfordern. Über das politische Konfliktpotential und die persönlichen Zumutungen der Entscheidungsfreiheit legt die umfangreiche Literatur zu Entscheidungsfragen relativ wenig Rechenschaft ab. Sie ist im Wesentlichen damit beschäftigt, Vorschläge zu machen, wie man richtige Entscheidungen trifft. Nicht selten wird in Lehrbüchern dem „Entscheiden unter Unsicherheit“ ein eigenes Kapitel gewidmet und so suggeriert, es gäbe sichere Entscheidungen, der Pelz lasse sich waschen, ohne ihn nass zu machen.
