Aging, Representation, and Thought: Gestalt and Feature-Intensive Processing
by Matthew SharpsThe brain contains many distinct functional and anatomical regions. Despite these differences, brain tissues are sufficiently uniform in the fact that they can engage in various types of processing. How can functionally different kinds of processes, such as verbal memory and reasoning, visual and auditory memory, and mental imagery, all be supported by the relatively uniform electrochemical activity of a brain's neurons? How are they appropriately segregated and integrated as needed? In Aging, Representation, and Thought, Matthew J. Sharps provides an empirically based, functional answer to what is, from the standpoint of modern cognitive psychology, a critical theoretical issue.Sharps argues that the crucial factor is the degree to which information is subjected to processing that is more gestalt or feature-intensive in nature. Sharps shows that purely gestalt processing deals with information in large "chunks," providing for relatively little incisive analysis. Purely feature-intensive processing, on the other hand, tends to ignore the overall nature and context of information in favor of comparatively minute analyses. It provides for relatively comprehensive analysis, but also for slow, cumbersome processing. Neither process, however, works in isolation, and Sharps demonstrates how information processing occurs on a continuum between the two extremes.Sharps' theoretical perspective is amply borne out by the results of specific experiments in all of the cognitive realms he addresses. He provides relatively comprehensive explanations for a variety of phenomena including the diminution of specific cognitive processes with age, and errors in eyewitness memory, reasoning, and decision-making at all levels of human activity. Aging, Representation, and Thought will be of interest to psychologists, students of adult development and aging, and management specialists.

Agnes's Jacket: A Psychologist's Search for the Meanings of Madness.Revised and Updated with a New Epilogue by the Author
by Gail A. HornsteinIn a Victorian-era German asylum, seamstress Agnes Richter painstakingly stitched a mysterious autobiographical text into every inch of the jacket she created from her institutional uniform. Despite every attempt to silence them, hundreds of other psychiatric patients have managed to get their stories out, or to publish them on their own. Today, in a vibrant network of peer-advocacy groups all over the world, those with firsthand experience of emotional distress are working together to unravel the mysteries of madness and to help one another recover. Agnes’s Jacket tells their story, focusing especially on the Hearing Voices Network (HVN), an international collaboration of professionals, people with lived experience, and their families and friends who have been working to develop an alternative approach to coping with voices, visions, and other extreme states that is empowering and useful and does not start from the assumption that such people have a chronic illness. A vast gulf exists between the way medicine explains psychiatric conditions and the experiences of those who suffer. Hornstein’s work helps us to bridge that gulf, guiding us through the inner lives of those diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar illness, depression, and paranoia, and emerging with nothing less than a new model for understanding one another and ourselves.
Agnosia and Apraxia: Selected Papers of Liepmann, Lange, and Potzl (Institute for Research in Behavioral Neuroscience Series)
by Ellen Perecman Jason W. Brown George Dean Emil Franzen Joachim LuwischFirst Published in 1988. The reader is invited to explore this collection of early German papers and not to analyze the work through a comparison with the present but to approach it with a relaxation of bias that extends a new hearing to old ideas. The reader may be surprised to see how little has changed in the association or callosal theory of apraxia since this review by Liepmann. Of interest is the care with which Liepmann studied his patients and the ingenious anatomical accounts.
Agorafabulous!: Dispatches from My Bedroom
by Sara Benincasa“Sara Benincasa is one of the funniest writers I know—and I know a disturbing number of them. She is also one of the most honest.”—Sam Apple, author of American Parent and editor-in-chief of The Faster Times “Sara is extremely funny and should have many books out so we can all read them and laugh.” —Margaret ChoComedian, writer, blogger, radio and podcast host, and YouTube sensation, Sara Benincasa bravely and outrageously brings us “Dispatches from My Bedroom” with Agorafabulous! One of the funniest and most poignant books ever written about a mental illness, Agorafabulous! is a hilarious, raw, and unforgettable account of how a terrified young woman, literally trapped by her own imagination, evolved into a (relatively) high-functioning professional smartass. Down to earth and seriously funny, Benincasa’s no-holds-barred revelations offer readers the politically incorrect hilarity they heartily crave, yet is so often missing from your typical, weepy, and redemptive personal memoir.
Agressie bij kinderen
by Jan PloegAgressie is een probleem waarmee ouders, leerkrachten en hulpverleners dikwijls geen raad weten. Agressieve kinderen en jongeren blijken moeilijk te behandelen. Hoe moet agressie worden aangepakt? Waar komt agressie vandaag? Waarom is het ene kind wel en het andere niet agressief? En blijven agressieve kinderen altijd agressief? Op deze en andere vragen geeft dit boek antwoord. Agressie kan het functioneren van kinderen ernstig belemmeren. Thuis, op school en onder vrienden kan dat tot heftige problemen leiden. Voor opvoeders en hulpverleners is het van groot belang een goed inzicht te krijgen in het verschijnsel agressie. Dat kan helpen agressie een half toe te roepen of te voorkomen dat het agressieve kind steeds agressiever wordt. In de verschillende hoofdstukken belicht de auteur het verschijnsel agressie van begin tot eind. Het boek maakt duidelijk hoe agressie ontstaat, welke ontwikkelingen agressieve kinderen kunnen doormaken en welke oplossingen er zijn om agressie te voorkomen of in te perken. Dit helder geschreven overzichtswerk is bedoeld voor (aankomend) orthopedagogen, psychologen, sociaal-pedagogische hulpverleners, leerkrachten, beleidsmakers en andere professionals die met agressieve jeugdigen te maken hebben of krijgen.
Ahmes’ Legacy: Puzzles And The Mathematical Mind (Mathematics in Mind)
by Marcel DanesiThis book looks at classic puzzles from the perspective of their structures and what they tell us about the brain. It uses the work on the neuroscience of mathematics from Dehaene, Butterworth, Lakoff, Núñez, and many others as a lens to understand the ways in which puzzles reflect imaginative processes blended with rational ones. The book is not about recreational or puzzle-based mathematics in and of itself but rather about what the classic puzzles tell us about the mathematical imagination and its impact on the discipline. It delves into the history of classic math puzzles, deconstructing their raison d’être and describing their psychological features, so that their nature can be fleshed out in order to help understand the mathematical mind.This volume is the first monographic treatment of the psychological nature of puzzles in mathematics. With its user-friendly technical level of discussion, it is of interest to both general readers and those who engage in the disciplines of mathematics, psychology, neuroscience, and/or anthropology. It is also ideal as a textbook source for courses in recreational mathematics, or as reference material in introductory college math courses.

Aided Augmentative Communication for Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (Autism and Child Psychopathology Series)
by Jennifer B. GanzJust as autism is a continuum of disorders, it is associated with a broad range of neurodevelopmental, social, and communication deficits.

Widely used interventions and tools in AAC are reviewed--not just how they work, but why they work--to aid practitioners in choosing those most suited to individual clients or students. Issues in evaluation for aided AAC and debates concerning its usability round out the coverage. Readers come away with a deeper understanding of the centrality of communication for clients with ASD and the many possibilities for intervention Key areas of coverage include: AAC and assessment of people with ASD and CCN. Interdisciplinary issues and collaboration in assessment and treatment. AAC intervention mediated by natural communication partners. Functional communication training with AAC. The controversy surrounding facilitated communication. Sign language versus AAC. Aided Augmentative Communication for Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders is an essential resource for clinicians/practitioners, researchers, and graduate students in such fields as child and school psychology, speech pathology, language education, developmental psychology, behavior therapy, and educational technology.
Aids: Effective Health Communicaton for the 90's
by Scott C. RatzanDespite educational efforts, the majority of Americans are still under the misconception that they are not at risk from HIV/AIDS infection. In addition, the federal government only spends 2% of the total designated federal AIDS funding toward prevention. Thus, information in respect to AIDS and health communication in any comprehensive nature is almost nonexistent.; This book aims to rectify the situation by presenting detailed analysis and actions necessary to confront the AIDS pandemic on every level of the communication realm. Contributors are experienced researchers, educators, government officials, and physicians. They examine the issue from a number of standpoints, including: communication, adolescent medicine, public administration, psychology, journalism, audiology, speech and language pathology, neurological surgery, preventive medicine and public health.
Aikido as Transformative and Embodied Pedagogy: Teacher as Healer
by Michael A. GordonDrawing on the author’s lifelong practice in the non-competitive and defensive Japanese art of Aikido, this book examines education as self-cultivation, from a Japanese philosophy (e.g. Buddhist) perspective. Contemplative practices, such as secular mindfulness meditation, are being increasingly integrated into pedagogical settings to enhance social and emotional learning and well-being and to address stress-induced overwhelm due to increased pressures on the education system and its constituents. The chapters in this book explore the various ways, through the lens of this non-violent relational art of Aikido, that pedagogy is always something being practiced (on the level of psychological, somatic and emotional registers) and thus holding potential for transformation into being more relational, ecological-minded, and reflecting more ‘embodied attunement.’ Positioning education as a practice, one of self-discovery, the author argues that one can approach personal development as engaging in a spiritual process of integrating mind and body towards full presence of being and existence.

Aion: Researches Into the Phenomenology of the Self (Collected Works of C.G. Jung #56)
by C.G. JungAion is one of a number of major works that Jung wrote during his seventies that were concerned with the relations between psychology, alchemy and religion. He is particularly concerned in this volume with the rise of Christianity and with the figure of Christ. He explores how Christianity came about when it did, the importance of the figure of Christ and the identification of the figure of Christ with the archetype of the Self. A matter of special importance to Jung in his seventies - the problem of opposites, particularly good and evil - is further discussed and the importance of the symbolism of the fish, which recurs as a symbol of both Christ and the devil, is examined. As a study of the archetype of the self, Aion complements The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious, which is also published in paperback.

Airless Worlds and the Restoration of Psychic Breathing: Working Psychoanalytically with Early Relational Trauma (Psychoanalysis in a New Key Book Series)
by Steven SternThis book focuses on the recognition and psychoanalytic treatment of a debilitating form of early relational trauma poignantly described by Steven Stern as airless world syndrome. A patient can be said to be living in an airless world when one or both parents have failed to recognize, or worse, actively negated their child’s subjective experience and needs, instead imposing their subjective reality on the child such that the child had no choice but to adopt the parents’ reality as their own. When a child’s mind is captured in this way—what Stern calls identification with negation—the result is an unconscious bondage to the internalized negating other which can be disabling to the senses of self, personal agency, and realness. With extended clinical examples in every chapter, Stern brings the reader into the depths of each patient’s airless world and the co-created needed relationship that ultimately, fitfully transforms it.Written in a detailed yet accessible style, this book is invaluable to psychoanalysts and psychotherapists in practice and in training.
Ajax, The Dutch, The War: Football in Europe During the Second World War
by Simon Kuper'Football history at its best' SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY'Hugely moving... a very good book indeed' FOUR FOUR TWO'Kuper is an original, sophisticated and adventurous writer. The story he has to tell... is fascinating and pressing' SUNDAY TIMESIn FOOTBALL AGAINST THE ENEMY Simon Kuper crossed the globe in search of the links between football, politics and culture. In AJAX, THE DUTCH, THE WAR he skilfully pieces together an alternative account of World War II. He looks at the lives of the footballers who played for the Dutch club, the officials and the ordinary fans during this tumultuous period and challenges the accepted notion of the War in occupied Europe. With almost 80 per cent of Amsterdam's Jewish Corner wiped out during the war, the long-held belief that, by and large, half the Dutch population had some kind of link to the Resistance has, of late, come into question. Kuper explores this issue and looks deeper into the role of football across Europe in the years both preceding and following the War. The result is a compelling and controversial account of the War, seen through the lens of football.

Al fin!: Growing old
by Andrew Graham YoollCompletado poco antes de su partida, este libro póstumo de uno de los periodistas más respetados y queridos propone una mirada reflexiva y humorística sobre el difícil arte de envejecer, los achaques físicos y emocionales y la cercanía del final. Envejecer implica prepararse para morir y este libro es un ejercicio en eso, en preguntarse en cómo son las cosas cuando uno no está. ¿Cómo se van a acordar del golpe de 1976 cuando ya no estemos los que lo vivimos? ¿Cómo no nos acordamos del pogrom de 1919 o las ejecuciones de Mitre? ¿Y qué se hace con las toses, el paso lento, los médicos permanentes? ¿Qué va a ser de las caras que todavía recordamos de tantos años atrás, desaparecen con nosotros? ¿Tienen razón los mexicanos? Como este es un libro de Graham-Yooll hay un par de valentías, que tienen que ver con el sexo. "La jubilación del pene" es una lección de sexualidad para la tercera edad en un bar rotoso de Barracas, seguida de un poema de Yeats sobre una amante envejecida y otro de Baudelaire. Pero también y sobre todo está una de esas cosas que salían de los cuadernos de Andrew, uno de esos espejos durísimos. Es el diálogo con su ex mujer de tantos años en una visita a la vivienda asistida donde ella penaba, un diálogo que ella lleva al sexo, a los mejores recuerdos, al ¿te acordás? más gráfico que hay. A cuando eran jóvenes y no podían esperar. Ese era Andrew Graham-Yooll, uno que se retorcía de incomodidad durante un diálogo así pero después lo anotaba fielmente para publicarlo. Era valiente, nomás, y este es un libro valiente.Del prólogo de Sergio Kiernan
