Ich lerne wie ein Zombie: Plädoyer für das Abschaffen von ADHS
by Hans-Reinhard SchmidtDer Psychotherapeut Hans Reinhard Schmidt unterzieht das Konstrukt ADHS einer radikalen Kritik. Er kommt zum Ergebnis, dass die Konstruktion dieser Krankheit mehr Unheil als Segen mit sich bringt und abgeschafft bzw. überwunden werden sollte. Insgesamt arbeitet Schmidt als seine Position heraus: Es gibt kein ADHS und kein ADHS-Kind, sondern viele verschiedene Kinder mit vielen verschiedenen Gründen für ihre Unaufmerksamkeit und Unruhe. Das Buch hinterfragt nicht nur das Konstrukt ADHS gründlich, sondern bietet auch Hilfestellung und fachliche Alternativen.
Ich und Selbst: Ein Leitfaden für die psychotherapeutische Praxis (Psychotherapie: Praxis)
by Marie-Luise AlthoffDieses Buch hilft Psychotherapeuten, Psychiatern und Supervisoren, ihre Patienten und Klienten bei ihrer Identitätssuche und Selbstfindung zu unterstützen. Als Ausgangspunkt der Überlegungen werden die Theorien der Ich- und selbstpsychologischen sowie der relationalen psychodynamischen Richtungen dargestellt. Die Selbst- und Identitätsbildung als Suchbewegung von Klienten und Therapeuten steht im Zentrum der Fragestellungen. Die Autorin gibt fundierte und hilfreiche Antworten – in dem Wissen, dass Antworten nie ein für alle Mal gelten und doch zufriedenstellend sein können. Wir transformieren uns fortwährend und können uns letztlich nie auf etwas Eigentliches zurückführen. Fragen aus dem Inhalt: Menschen sagen: „Ich suche mich“, „Ich finde mich“, „Ich erfinde mich neu.“ Wer oder was ist eigentlich dieses Ich, wer oder was ist dieses Mich, und was machen die beiden da, wenn sie sich suchen, finden oder erfinden? Machen die beiden das stets und ständig und beeinflussen sie sich wechselseitig? „Ich kann mich selbst so schwer verstehen?“ Wer oder was ist denn dieses Selbst? Also ist da noch ein Dritter im Bunde, wie immer? In diesem Buch werden Antworten auf diese Fragen gesucht. Die Autorin: Dr. phil. Marie-Luise Althoff ist Analytikerin, Dozentin, Supervisorin und Lehrtherapeutin und diskutiert mit Blick auf Psychotherapie und Supervision die Konzeptualisierung einer Beeinflussung des Ich- und Selbsterlebens.

Ich will, also bin ich: Wie der freie Wille uns zu dem macht, was wir sind
by Ruth MettenDieses Buch appelliert an Sie, Ihren freien Willen zu gebrauchen. Denn allen wissenschaftlichen Unkenrufen zum Trotz: wir haben – wie gezeigt wird – tatsächlich einen freien Willen; wir haben einen Zugriff auf unsere Freiheit. Das ist sogar von allerhöchster Bedeutung: denn unser Selbst scheint erst durch Willensakte zustande zu kommen. Verhält es sich aber so, dann täten wir gut daran, unseren Willen zu bilden, wie es die alten Meditationsschulen empfehlen. Und wodurch gelingt das? Indem wir uns in Achtsamkeit und Selbsthypnose üben, wozu der letzte Teil des Buches anleiten will. Mit einem Geleitwort von Dr. Burkhard Peter. Aus dem Inhalt: Der freie Wille – eine Illusion? – Leben gedeiht in Freiheit – Rückschläge – Mit vielen Beispielen, Übungen und Aha-Momenten. Mit Hörübungen zum Download. Über die Autorin: Dr. med. Ruth Metten ist als Fachärztin für Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie in Kempen niedergelassen, beschäftigt sich mit Sterbebegleitung, Achtsamkeit und Selbsthypnose und hält zum Thema dieses Buches Vorträge und Seminare.

Idealization and the Aims of Science
by Angela PotochnikScience is the study of our world, as it is in its messy reality. Nonetheless, science requires idealization to function—if we are to attempt to understand the world, we have to find ways to reduce its complexity. Idealization and the Aims of Science shows just how crucial idealization is to science and why it matters. Beginning with the acknowledgment of our status as limited human agents trying to make sense of an exceedingly complex world, Angela Potochnik moves on to explain how science aims to depict and make use of causal patterns—a project that makes essential use of idealization. She offers case studies from a number of branches of science to demonstrate the ubiquity of idealization, shows how causal patterns are used to develop scientific explanations, and describes how the necessarily imperfect connection between science and truth leads to researchers’ values influencing their findings. The resulting book is a tour de force, a synthesis of the study of idealization that also offers countless new insights and avenues for future exploration.

Identical Twins: The Social Construction and Performance of Identity in Culture and Society (Concepts for Critical Psychology)
by Mvikeli NcubeIn Identical Twins: The Social Construction and Performance of Identity in Culture and Society, Ncube conceptualises twin identity as a multi-layered dynamic that changes through performance, and explores twin identity through a social constructionist approach. Until now, mainstream twin studies have mostly sought to explain social phenomena about twins from ‘inside’ the person, providing their explanations in terms of internal entities such as personality structures with an obvious underlying essentialist assumption. By examining the theories of Michel Foucault and Judith Butler, Ncube shows that the ‘identity’ of twins is managed in both an academic and cultural context, and in relation to specific audiences. Relocating the explanations that we gather in social research, including in qualitative research in psychology, the book focuses its enquiry on the social practices and interactions that people engage in with each other, not delving ‘inside’ the person. Using real-world twin accounts, the book maps out the social construction of twin identity, and allows for the twins’ own voices to be examined in relation to twin experiences. Also addressing aspects of being misunderstood, as well as the idea of misunderstanding oneself, this is fascinating reading for students and researchers in critical and cultural psychology, and anyone interested in twin studies.
Identification in Psychoanalysis: A Comprehensive Introduction
by Jean FlorenceThis fascinating book offers an in-depth exploration of the gradual development of the concept of identification as it has evolved in the Freudian tradition of psychoanalysis. Featuring a detailed review of the key Freudian texts, referencing them in their original German, this volume demonstrates how psychoanalysis sheds light on the richness and complexity of the identification process in human psychology, at both the individual and collective levels. The author closely follows the various reformulations of the theory – undertaken by Freud in the course of three different periods – and contextualises them within her clinical experience with various pathologies and her observations of the development of individuals, revealing throughout the great extent to which this fundamental process is unconscious. Providing a critical examination of a fundamental Freudian concept, this volume is not only a teaching manual serving specifically to train psychoanalysts and psychotherapists but is also an important read for anyone interested in human sciences, philosophy and the history of psychoanalysis.

Identifying Consumption: Subjects and Objects in Consumer Society
by Robert G. DunnIdentifying Consumption illustrates how an individual's buying habits are shaped by the dynamics of the consumer marketplace--and thus how consumption and identity inform each other. Robert Dunn brings together the various theories of spending and develops a mode of analysis concentrating on the individual subjectivity of consumption. By doing so, he addresses how we spend and its relationship with status and lifestyle. Dunn provides a comprehensive guide to the study of modern consumer behavior before summarizing and critiquing the major theories of consumption. At this juncture, he proposes a method of analysis that focuses on the significance of status and lifestyle in social relations that can help explain how the consumer marketplace is shaped. He concludes by raising issues about different ways of consuming and the relationship between consumption and identity.

Identifying and Interpreting Incongruent Film Music (Palgrave Studies in Audio-Visual Culture)
by David IrelandThis book explores the concept of incongruent film music, challenging the idea that this label only describes music that is inappropriate or misfitting for a film’s images and narrative. Defining incongruence as a lack of shared properties in the audiovisual relationship, this study examines various types of incongruence between a film and its music and considers the active role that it can play in the construction of a film’s meaning and influencing audience response. Synthesising findings from research in the psychology of music in multimedia, as well as from ideas sourced in semiotics, film music, and poststructuralist theory, this interdisciplinary book provides a holistic perspective that reflects the complexity of moments of film-music incongruence. With case studies including well-known films such as Gladiator and The Shawshank Redemption, this book combines scene analysis and empirical audience reception tests to emphasise the subjectivity, context-dependency, and multi-dimensionality inherent in identifying and interpreting incongruent film music.
Identifying and Minimizing Measurement Invariance among Intersectional Groups: The Alignment Method Applied to Multi-category Items (Elements in Research Methods for Developmental Science)
by Rachel A. Gordon Tianxiu Wang Hai Nguyen Ariel M. AloeThis Element demonstrates how and why the alignment method can advance measurement fairness in developmental science. It explains its application to multi-category items in an accessible way, offering sample code and demonstrating an R package that facilitates interpretation of such items' multiple thresholds. It features the implications for group mean differences when differences in the thresholds between categories are ignored because items are treated as continuous, using an example of intersectional groups defined by assigned sex and race/ethnicity. It demonstrates the interpretation of item-level partial non-invariance results and their implications for group-level differences and encourages substantive theorizing regarding measurement fairness.

Identifying and Understanding the Narcissistic Personality
by Elsa F. RonningstamNarcissists have been much maligned, but according to clinicians who study personality, there are many productive narcissists who succeed spectacularly well in life because they can articulate a vision and make others follow.

Identifying, Assessing, and Treating Early Onset Schizophrenia at School
by Shane R. Jimerson Melissa Pearrow Huijun LiBy itself or in combination with an affective disorder, early onset schizophrenia (EOS) -- the onset of symptoms before 18 years of age -- can create severe deficits in young people's academic performance, family and peer relationships, and even the ability to acquire new skills.
