Telepathy and Medical Psychology (Psychology Revivals)
by Jan EhrenwaldFirst published in 1947, the original blurb for Telepathy and Medical Psychology reads: ‘An increasing mass of evidence compiled during the past years has made the occurrence of telepathy and related phenomena an established fact. However, contemporary medical psychology has refused so far to acknowledge their existence and to reconcile them with their systems of thought. Dr Ehrenwald’s book is the first serious attempt in this direction. He shows that telepathy is subject to much the same psychological laws as govern dreams, neurotic symptoms and certain manifestations of mental disease. His approach moves largely along the lines of the psychoanalyst, but his conclusions are likely to shake some of the basic propositions of psychoanalysis itself. At the same time they throw fresh light on certain aberrations of character and personality and his new interpretation of paranoia and related disorders may well mark a turning point in modern psychopathology and psychiatry.Dr Ehrenwald writes his book not only for the medical psychologist: the problems discussed called for the attention of a wider public and his way of presentation makes it fascinating reading for the educated layman.’ Today it can be read in its historical context.
Telerehabilitation in Communication Disorders and Mental Health
by Sanjeev Kumar GuptaThe increasing influence of digital media on all aspects of life, especially the use of Internet and smartphone, has not left even the field of healthcare practice untouched. Telerehabilitation, implying the use of telecommunications in rehabilitation activities, is being used widely in the treatment of communication and mental health disorders. The use of telerehabilitation services makes rehabilitation more feasible, fast, time-saving and cost-effective for people who face constraints in physically presenting themselves to healthcare providers due to extent of retardation, illness or commuting issues. It is thus a boon for the people who stay in remote areas and have no access to healthcare professionals in close vicinity. Therefore, research is underway on the optimal means to deliver telerehabilitation services both locally and globally and is now seen as a critical activity in healthcare.
Televised Redemption: Black Religious Media and Racial Empowerment
by Carolyn Moxley Rouse John L. Jackson Jr. Marla F. FrederickHow Black Christians, Muslims, and Jews have used media to prove their equality, not only in the eyes of God but in society. The institutional structures of white supremacy—slavery, Jim Crow laws, convict leasing, and mass incarceration—require a commonsense belief that black people lack the moral and intellectual capacities of white people. It is through this lens of belief that racial exclusions have been justified and reproduced in the United States. Televised Redemption argues that African American religious media has long played a key role in humanizing the race by unabashedly claiming that blacks are endowed by God with the same gifts of goodness and reason as whites—if not more, thereby legitimizing black Americans’ rights to citizenship. If racism is a form of perception, then religious media has not only altered how others perceive blacks, but has also altered how blacks perceive themselves. Televised Redemption argues that black religious media has provided black Americans with new conceptual and practical tools for how to be in the world, and changed how black people are made intelligible and recognizable as moral citizens. In order to make these claims to black racial equality, this media has encouraged dispositional changes in adherents that were at times empowering and at other times repressive. From Christian televangelism to Muslim periodicals to Hebrew Israelite radio, Televised Redemption explores the complicated but critical redemptive history of African American religious media.
Television Families: Is Something Wrong in Suburbia? (Routledge Communication Series)
by William DouglasThis volume examines the analysis that was designed to map the development of the television family and assess its current state and, at the same time, to provide insight into the tangled relationships between fictional and real family life. In order to do this, the investigation examines the evolution of the American family, paying special attention to the postwar family, which is not only used recurrently as a benchmark for assessing the performance of modern families but also constituted television's first generation of families. The investigation also traces the evolution of the popular family in vaudeville, comics, and radio. However, the primary focus of the examination is the development of the television family, from families, such as the Nelsons, Andersons, and Cleavers, to more contemporary families, such as the Huxtables, Conners, and Taylors. The unit of analysis for the investigation is the relationship rather than the individual. Hence, the book deals with the portrayal of spousal, parent-child, and sibling relationships and how those portrayals differ across time and across groups defined by ethnicity, gender, and age. Moreover, the relational analysis is expansive so that television family relationships are examined in regard to power and affect, performance, and satisfaction and stability. Television Families provides a thorough summary and critical review of extant research, designed to promote informed classroom discussion. At the same time, it advances a number of hypotheses and recommendations and, as such, is intended to influence subsequent theory and research in the area. The book is intended for senior undergraduate students, graduate students, and television and family researchers.
Television and Psychoanalysis: Psycho-Cultural Perspectives (The\psychoanalysis And Popular Culture Ser.)
by Ivan Ward Caroline Bainbridge Candida YatesDespite the prominence of television in our everyday lives, psychoanalytic approaches to its significance and function are notoriously few and far between. This volume takes up perspectives from object relations theory and other psychoanalytic approaches to ask questions about the role of television as an object of the internal worlds of its viewers, and also addresses itself to a range of specific television programmes, ranging from Play School, through the plays of Jack Rosenthal to recent TV blockbuster series such as In Treatment. In addition, it considers the potential of television to open up new public spaces of therapeutic experience. Interviews with a TV producer and with the subject of a documentary expressly suggest that there is scope for television to make a positive therapeutic intervention in people's lives. At the same time, however, the pitfalls of reality programming are explored with reference to the politics of entertainment and the televisual values that heighten the drama of representation rather than emphasising the emotional experience of reality television participants and viewers.
Television and Social Behavior: Beyond Violence and Children / A Report of the Committee on Television and Social Behavior, Social Science Research Council (Routledge Library Editions: Television)
by Stephen B. Withey and Ronald P. AbelesThis book, published originally in 1980, addressed the needs for a profile of televised violence which considered the advantages and disadvantages of various measures and for a furthering of research directions beyond the then-popular emphasis on children. The Committee on Television and Social Behavior was formed in1972 and stimulated new research in order to provide a multidimensional profile of the social effects of television programming. Chapters here look at the effect of television on adults as well as children, particularly special audiences such as the elderly and minority groups. An excellent summary of the various conceptual, substantive and methodological issues around television’s influence.
Television and the Aggressive Child: A Cross-national Comparison (Routledge Library Editions: Television)
by L. Rowell Huesmann and Leonard D.

Expanding on earlier studies, the compilation of essays here delves deeply into aggression study and compares results about media influence across 5 countries. Cultural norms and programming differences are investigated as well as age and gender and other factors. What is offered overall is a psychological model in which TV violence is both a precursor and a consequence of aggression.

Tell Me So I Can Hear You: A Developmental Approach to Feedback for Educators
by Eleanor Drago-Severson Jessica Blum-DeStefanoIn Tell Me So I Can Hear You, Eleanor Drago-Severson and Jessica Blum-DeStefano show how education leaders can learn to deliver feedback in a way that strengthens relationships as well as performance and builds the capacity for growth. Drawing on constructive-developmental theory, the authors describe four stages of adult growth and development and explain how to differentiate feedback for colleagues with different &“ways of knowing,&” which include: • Instrumental knowers, who tend to see things in black and white (&“Did I do it right or wrong?&”) and may need to develop the capacity for reflection. • Socializing knowers, who are concerned with maintaining relationships (&“What do you want me to do?&”) and may need support developing their own ideas. • Self-authoring knowers, who have strong ideologies and values (&“How does this fit with my goals and vision?&”) and may need help with perspective taking. • Self-transformative knowers, who are able to examine issues from multiple points of view (&“How can I understand this more deeply?&”) and may need guidance in resolving tensions and contradictions. The authors show how leaders can provide feedback in ways that &“meet people where they are&” while expanding the developmental capacities educators bring to their work. Drago-Severson and Blum-DeStefano provide real-life examples with practical strategies for creating a safe space for feedback, finding the right words, and bridging feedback and action. Tell Me So I Can Hear You offers invaluable guidance to help educators support a culture of learning in classrooms, schools, and districts.

Tell My Sons: A Father's Last Letters
by Mark Weber Robin Robin WilliamsAt the pinnacle of a soaring career in the U. S. Army, Lt. Col. Mark M. Weber was tapped to serve in a high-profile job within the Afghan Parliament as a military advisor. Weeks later, a routine physical revealed stage IV intestinal cancer in the thirty-eight-year-old father of three. Over the next two years he would fight a desperate battle he wasn't trained for, with his wife and boys as his reluctant but willing fighting force. When Weber realized that he was not going to survive this final tour of combat, he began to write a letter to his boys, so that as they grew up without him, they would know what his life-and-death story had taught him--about courage and fear, challenge and comfort, words and actions, pride and humility, seriousness and humor, and viewing life as a never-ending search for new ideas and inspiration. This book is that letter. And it's not just for his sons. It's for everyone who can use the best advice a dying hero has to offer. Weber's stories illustrate that in the end you become what you are through the causes to which you attach yourself--and that you've made your own along the way. Through his example, he teaches how to live an ordinary life in an extraordinary way.
