¿Hablamos?: Conversaciones necesarias para que las relaciones y los equipos funcionen
by Ferran Ramón-Cortes Alex Galofré¿Cuánto conocemos de los demás? ¿Cuánto explicamos de nosotros? ¿Por qué decimos que sí cuando queremos decir que no? ¿Por qué personas que tienen habilidades probadas de buena comunicación, en el contexto de una determinada relación de grupo funcionan mal? Todos hablamos de que somos un equipo... pero muy pocos lo son de verdad. ¿Hablamos?, con la vista puesta alcanzar un más alto rendimiento, explica el camino que siguen los equipos, los grupos, las familias o las parejas en su viaje hacia la complicidad. Y en su conquista de la plena confianza. Porque las empresas que funcionan, los grupos que funcionan, las familias que funcionan o las parejas que funcionan se basan siempre en relaciones personales que funcionan.
Hablar con extraños: Por qué es crucial (y tan difícil) leer las interacciones de los desconocidos
by Malcolm GladwellVUELVE EL MEJOR GLADWELL, autor de El punto clave, Inteligencia intuitiva y Fuera de serie. «Si puedo convencerte de una única cosa con este libro, que sea esta: los desconocidos no son simples.» ¿Cómo pudo un espía pasar años sin ser detectado en los más altos niveles del Pentágono? ¿Qué llevó a Neville Chamberlain a creer que podía confiar en Adolf Hitler? ¿Qué tienen en común esos casos con el engaño de Bernie Madoff, el juicio de Amanda Knox, el suicidio de Sylvia Plath o la comedia de televisión Friends? Cuando interactuamos con desconocidos, a menudo las cosas no salen bien, en parte porque creemos adivinar las intenciones de los demás basándonos en pistas terriblemente endebles. En Hablar con extraños, Malcolm Gladwell, el autor que ha conquistado a una legión de admiradores con su particular manera de ver el mundo, entrevista a toda una serie de personas brillantes, ofrece un arsenal de ejemplos divertidos, contraintuitivos y convincentes, extrae de ellos ideas poderosas y las condimenta con abundantes datos inolvidables. Al mostrarnos por qué se nos da tan mal leer entre líneas, revela las claves para lidiar mejor con los desconocidos en nuestra vida. En este nuevo viaje a lo inesperado, Gladwell nos ofrece nuevos y valiosos descubrimientos sobre nosotros mismos, pasados por el prisma de la historia, la psicología y la sociología. La crítica ha dicho:«Excelente escritura, estructura magistral, datos llamativos elegantemente reutilizados. La fórmula que hizo que sus libros anteriores fueran éxitos.»Financial Times «Irresistible, y dará que hablar. En un momento de máxima polarización, un libro que examina el modo en que fallamos a la hora de comunicarnos no podría ser más oportuno. Se devora como si fuera un thriller.»Chris Barton, Los Angeles Times «Hay un momento de la lectura en el que incluso el escéptico comienza a sentir que nos estamos equivocando en todo y que quizá este tal Gladwell ha dado con algo... Hablar con extraños es el más sólido de sus títulos.»Amy Chozick, The New York Times «Gladwell ofrece poderosos consejos para entender mejor a los otros. Defiende brillantemente que nadie es transparente y la necesidad de comprender que los comportamientos dependen de circunstancias invisibles.»People «Los casos que analiza Galdwell son sensacionales. Repleto de fascinantes anécdotas, de las cuales extrae pequeñas píldoras sobre cómo relacionarnos con los desconocidos.»Maggie Taft, Booklist «Intelectualmente estimulante, otro tour de force de Gladwell. Los lectores que esperen una nueva lectura adictiva del tipo "nada-de-lo-que-dabas-por-sentado-es-así" no se verán defraudados.»Kirkus Reviews «Fascinante yoportuno. Gladwell escribe con su característica prosa colorida, fluida y accesible.»Publishers Weekly «Adoro este libro. No solo cambia el modo en que vemos a los extraños, sino también cómo entendemos las noticias, el mundo y a nosotros mismos. Transformador.»Oprah Winfrey «Uno de los mejores observadores de su generación, un pensador de amplio espectro que nos ayuda a comprender la condición humana.»Bob Brisco, WebMD Magazine «Gladwell tiene un inmenso talento: una mente aguda, original e inquisitiva, la capacidad de desenterrar información que otros no han considerado y darle un sentido más amplio. Su habilidad narrativa es inigualable.»Stephen Galloway, The Hollywood Reporter

The Hairy Bikie and Other Metacognitive Strategies: Implementing a Frontal Lobe Prosthesis for Those Whose Learning Is Compromised
by Jeffrey Baron LeviThe book contains practical and innovative strategies to train clients with Traumatic Brain Injury, Autism, Intellectual Impairment and Behavioural Disorders to compensate for their deficits and to function independently within their environments. The book is a result of 30 years of working directly with clients who are experiencing problems with organization, memory, learning, problem solving and anger management. The book is highly recommended for practitioners working with clients with a range of disability in educational, community or work settings and is a valuable tool to researchers and tertiary institutions to impart this knowledge to future practitioners. The book is highly recommended to be included in a cognitive rehabilitation course for counsellors, neuropsychologists, rehabilitation consultants and vocational rehabilitation consultants. It would be highly relevant for a section in a Special Education course and for school psychologists, special education and mainstream teachers working with children with learning and behavioural disorders.
Hairy Hippies and Bloody Butchers: The Greenpeace Anti-Whaling Campaign in Norway
by Juliane RieseIn the popular imagination, no issue has been more closely linked with the environmental group Greenpeace than whaling. Opposition to commercial whaling has inspired many of the organization's most dramatic and high-profile "direct actions"-as well as some of its most notable failures. This book provides an inside look at one such instance: Greenpeace's decades-long campaign against the Norwegian whaling industry. Combining historical narrative with systems-theory analysis, author Juliane Riese shows how the organization's self-presentation as a David pitted against whale-butchering Goliaths was turned on its head. She recounts how opponents successfully discredited the campaign while Greenpeace struggled with internal disagreements and other organizational challenges, providing valuable lessons for other protest movements.

Halal Sex: The Intimate Lives of Muslim Women in North America
by Sheima BenembarekAn unprecedented glimpse into the sex lives of female and gender-expansive Muslims living across Canada and the United States.In the Muslim world, sex is permissible (or halal) only within the confines of marriage. Outside of wedlock, the act is considered haram, a sin of the faith. Girls are taught to protect their virginity; their mothers, if not forgoing &“the talk&” altogether, obscure the facts with elliptical language and metaphors.So, what happens when immigrants and the children of immigrants set about pursuing an open and active sex life on a more sexually liberated continent, amid western peers and attitudes? The six deeply personal stories in Halal Sex attempt to answer this question, bringing a hushed conversation out into the open.Within these pages you&’ll meet Azar, a non-binary trans Sufi; Bunmi, a Nigerian navigating shame and Tinder; Eman, a lesbian stand-up comic in an interfaith marriage; Taslim, a virgin in her forties struggling to erect healthy boundaries; and Khadijah, an exotic dancer and sex worker.With great empathy, Sheima Benembarek makes space for the honesty and vulnerability of each participant and handles their stories with gentleness and care. What emerges is a tapestry of a diverse Islam—encompassing a wide variety of cultural and religious and socioeconomic backgrounds—and a frank, feminist contribution to the advancement of Muslim sexual education and pleasure.
Halcion: An Independent Assessment of Safety and Efficacy Data
by Committee on Halcion: An Assessment of Data Adequacy ConfidenceRegulatory agencies within the United States and the United Kingdom, among several other countries, have reviewed extensively the safety and efficacy of Halcion (triazolam)--a once commonly used hypnotic drug. Concerns began to emerge about the safety of Halcion when a Dutch physician reported a possible link between it and a syndrome that included such effects as depression, amnesia, hallucinations, and increased anxiety. In addition, in 1991 its manufacturer, Upjohn, noted that "errors had been identified in a report of one of the clinical studies included in the original" application for approval. Since then, the drug has been removed from the market in several countries, whereas in the United States and Canada, the drug's labeling has been modified to reduce the recommended dose and duration of treatment and to heighten awareness of possible side effects. Yet different data and analyses have resulted in conflicting messages that are difficult to reconcile and interpret. In response to a request from the Food and Drug Administration to resolve these controversial issues related to the safety and efficacy of Halcion, this IOM book assesses the adequacy of the drug's clinical trials; the quality and quantity of data on adverse reactions; overall confidence in the data on effectiveness, adverse events, and side effects at different doses; and whether additional studies are needed.

The Half-Alive Ones: Clinical Papers on Analytical Psychology in a Changing World
by Eva SeligmanThe Half-Alive Ones consists of nine clinical papers and two more theoretical ones. It celebrates almost fifty years of therapeutic work, depicting some of the author's most poignant professional experiences, both personal and collective. The author sees herself as an eclectic Jungian, with a flexible approach to analysis and therapy, revealed in her case studies, which demonstrate that the author rarely works with a single person who is ill by himself. She finds it more fruitful to perceive him and to treat him as part of a total situation, which he brings into the consulting room: his family of origin, his work situation, and part or current significant relationships. The author attempts to confirm her deep-felt belief that good listening, sensitive timing, versatility, and evaluation of the other's truth, are indispensable ingredients of every therapeutic hour. Analysis is but an arid endeavour without compassion and creativity.

Half in Love With Death: Managing the Chronically Suicidal Patient
by Joel ParisHalf in Love With Death presents a new way for therapists to manage chronically suicidal patients, an incredibly challenging task for clinicians and one where an insufficient amount of literature exists to guide professionals. Author Joel Paris suggests an approach that defies conventional wisdoms about whether suicide can be predicted or prevented. He asserts that managing chronically suicidal patients begins with tolerating suicidality, understanding the inner world of patients, avoiding repeated hospitalizations, and focusing on life situations that maintain suicidal ideas and behaviors. Each chapter in the book develops a theoretical perspective based on empirical data, and many are illustrated by clinical examples. Topics addressed throughout the text include:*distinctions among various types of suicidality;*the inner world of the chronically suicidal patient, with a particular focus on pain, emptiness, and hopelessness;*the relationship between chronic suicidality and personality disorders, especially the category of borderline personality;*the effectiveness of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy for chronically suicidal patients; and*the risks of litigation in managing this patient population. This volume is a crucially important resource for clinicians who treat chronically suicidal patients, as it fills a gap in existing literature and provides enlightened guidelines that stem from a large body of research in the field.

Half-truths And Brazen Lies
by Kira Vermond Clayton Hanmer<P>Do you believe in telling the truth? Sure you do. But even that's a lie -- because we all lie.

What types of lies are there? What are the consequences of lying? What methods are used to detect lies? And when is it okay or even good to lie? <P>From forgeries and hoaxes to plagiarism and placebos, Half-Truths and Brazen Lies offers historical anecdotes, scientific studies, and sociocultural analyses to help unpack the complex world of untruths.

Halfway Heaven: Diary Of A Harvard Murder
by Melanie ThernstromA few days before the end of spring term, an anonymous note arrived atThe Harvard Crimson. It contained a photograph of a student and a typed message: "Keep this picture. There will soon be a very juicy story involving this woman. " Now, the critically acclaimed author of The Dead Girl reveals the never-before-told story of two girls--one from Ethiopia, the other from Vietnam--for whom admission to Harvard was like "halfway heaven," the stepping stone to the American Dream that would ensure success for them and their families; and how they met instead with the darkest of all fates: a tragedy that might have been prevented. Based on Melanie Thernstrom's article in The New Yorker, here is the complete story of an unfathomable murder/suicide that shocked the country--and a groundbreaking expose of one of America's most distinguished universities. Drawing on the astonishing diaries kept by the murderer, Thernstrom reconstructs the inner life of a deeply troubled girl, struggling against isolation and depression, uncannily self-aware, and desperate for help. Sifting through layers of responsibility and silence, Thernstrom has pieced together a story that points back to Harvard and its calculated efforts to whitewash the story, and to protect and promote its distinguished reputation at the cost of its own student body. A work of dazzling investigative journalism and literary pathos,Halfway Heavenraises profound questions about the nature of attachment, obsession, female friendship, and the power of loneliness to transform love into destruction.
Hallucination: Philosophy and Psychology
by Fiona Macpherson Dimitris PlatchiasReflection on the nature of hallucination has relevance for many traditional philosophical debates concerning the nature of the mind, perception, and our knowledge of the world. In recent years, neuroimaging techniques and scientific findings on the nature of hallucination, combined with interest in new philosophical theories of perception such as disjunctivism, have brought the topic of hallucination once more to the forefront of philosophical thinking. Scientific evidence from psychology, neuroscience, and psychiatry sheds light on the functional role and physiology of actual hallucinations; some disjunctivist theories offer a radically new and different philosophical conception of hallucination. This volume offers interdisciplinary perspectives on the nature of hallucination, offering essays by both scientists and philosophers. Contributors first consider topics from psychology and neuroscience, including neurobiological mechanisms of hallucination and the nature and phenomenology of auditory-verbal hallucinations. Philosophical discussions follow, with contributors first considering disjunctivism and then, more generally, the relation between hallucination and the nature of experience.

Hallucination-focused Integrative Therapy: A Specific Treatment that Hits Auditory Verbal Hallucinations
by Jack A. JennerHallucination-focused Integrative Treatment (HIT) is a specific treatment for auditory verbal hallucinations which integrates techniques from CBT, systems therapy, psychoeducation, coping training, rehabilitation and medication. It emphasises active family involvement, crisis intervention when required and specialised motivational strategies. In clinical trials HIT has been proven to have longer lasting and wider ranging effects than other therapies, high patient satisfaction scores and a low drop-out rate. In Hallucination-focused Integrative Therapy, Jack Jenner presents a full manual for using HIT with patients. Divided into five parts, the book offers a clear and straightforward explanation of each aspect of the treatment. Part One introduces auditory verbal hallucinations in their social and historical context. Part Two explains the need for an integrative approach to treating them and sets out the eleven-step diagnostic procedure. Part Three describes the treatment in full, including motivational strategies, the constituent modules and how to integrate them, flexible implementation of a tailor-made procedure and its overall effectiveness. It also demonstrates the use of HIT with specific patient groups, including those suffering from trauma, children and adolescents, those who are suicidal and those with learning difficulties. Part Four examines other hallucination-focused therapies. Finally, Part Five covers insight-oriented psychotherapies. The book also includes several appendices of supplementary material which enhance the content. Illustrated throughout with case studies and clinical material, Hallucination-focused Integrative Therapy will be of interest to psychiatrists, psychologists, psychiatric nurses and social workers working with patients who experience auditory verbal hallucinations.
Hallucinations
by Oliver SacksHallucinations, for most people, imply madness. But there are many different types of non-psychotic hallucination caused by various illnesses or injuries, by intoxication--even, for many people, by falling sleep. From the elementary geometrical shapes that we see when we rub our eyes to the complex swirls and blind spots and zigzags of a visual migraine, hallucination takes many forms. At a higher level, hallucinations associated with the altered states of consciousness that may come with sensory deprivation or certain brain disorders can lead to religious epiphanies or conversions. Drawing on a wealth of clinical examples from his own patients as well as historical and literary descriptions, Oliver Sacks investigates the fundamental differences and similarities of these many sorts of hallucinations, what they say about the organization and structure of our brains, how they have influenced every culture's folklore and art, and why the potential for hallucination is present in us all.
Hallucinations in Psychoses and Affective Disorders: A Clinical and Biological Approach
by Paolo Brambilla Massimo Carlo Mauri Alfredo Carlo AltamuraThis book presents state of the art knowledge on the psychopathology, clinical symptomatology, biology, and treatment of hallucinations in patients with psychoses and affective disorders. The opening section describes and examines the origins of the hallucinatory symptoms associated with schizophrenia, bipolar disorders, and drug- or substance-induced psychoses. In addition, progress in understanding of hallucinations in children and adolescents and chronic hallucinatory disorder is reviewed, and the value of a Research Domain Criteria approach in elucidating the emergence of auditory hallucinations is explained. The biological basis of hallucinations is then closely scrutinized with reference to recent genetic research, neurochemical studies, and functional and structural neuroimaging data. Outcomes of a meta-analysis of diffusion tensor imaging studies regarding the association between white matter integrity and auditory verbal hallucinations are highlighted. The closing chapters focus on the roles of drug treatment and electric and magnetic brain stimulation techniques. The book will be of wide interest to psychiatrists and clinical psychologists.

Halt in haltlosen Zeiten: Eine sozialpsychologische Spurensuche
by Wolfgang Frindte Ina FrindteIm Sommer 2018 standen die Autor/innen des Buches im Musée des Arts et Métiers in Paris. Sie bestaunten das Foucaultsche Pendel, das am langen Seil unter der Kuppel seine Kreisbewegungen vollzog. Die Autor/innen staunten und fragten sich wie Casaubon in Umberto Ecos Buch Das Foucaultsche Pendel , was am ideellen Ende des Fadenpendels wohl sein könnte. Der feste Punkt, der uns Halt und Sicherheit in einer unsicheren Welt und schwierigen Zeiten geben könnte? Um welche Unsicherheiten, welche Zeiten oder gar um welche Bedrohungen geht es eigentlich? Wo finden sich die festen Punkte, die sicheren Räume unseres Lebens? Mit diesen und weiteren Fragen beschäftigt sich das vorliegende Buch. Inspiration für das Buch haben die Autor/innen bei Umberto Eco gefunden. Und so ist es auch eine Hommage à Eco.
Haltung in der Mediation: Die Untersuchung eines unterdefinierten Phänomens (BestMasters)
by Birgit KupiekDieses Buch geht dem Mythos „Haltung“ auf den Grund. Obwohl der altmodische Begriff in Alltag und Wissenschaft allgegenwärtig ist, schlägt die Suche nach einer einheitlichen und fundierten Erklärung fehl. Dieser Widerspruch trifft auch auf die Haltung in der Mediation zu. Die Haltung des Mediators gilt nicht nur als Kern seiner Rollenkompetenz, sie ist umgeben vom Nimbus langjährigen Herrschaftswissens, das vor allem im lukrativen Weiterbildungsmarkt vermittelt wird. Die Arbeit zeigt anhand von Sprache, Alltag, Philosophie und Psychologie die Gesetzmäßigkeiten von Haltung auf und macht sie als historischen Begriff sowie Phänomen begreifbar. Daraus wird ein multiperspektivisches Haltungsmodell für Mediatoren entwickelt, das die Beziehungsgestaltung, neben dem Verfahrensrahmen der Mediation in den Mittelpunkt rückt. Es werden praktische Ansätze aufgezeigt, Haltung in der Selbstreflexion spürbar zu machen und in den Lernprozess als Mediator zu integrieren. Das Buch ist für alle geeignet, die sich mit Konflikten beschäftigen: Mediatoren, Coaches, HR, Führungskräfte.
