Psychologies in Revolution: Alexander Luria’s 'Romantic Science' and Soviet Social History (Mental Health in Historical Perspective)
by Hannah ProctorThis book situates the work of the Soviet psychologist and neurologist Alexander Luria (1902-1977) in its historical context and explores the 'romantic' approach to scientific writing developed in his case histories. Luria consistently asserted that human consciousness was formed by cultural and historical experience. He described psychology as the ‘science of social history’ and his ideas about subjectivity, cognition and mental health have a history of their own. Lines of mutual influence existed between Luria and his colleagues on the other side of the iron curtain, but Psychologies in Revolution also discusses Luria’s research in relation to Soviet history – from the October Revolution of 1917 through the collectivisation of agriculture and Stalinist purges of the 1930s to the Second World War and, finally, the relative stability of the Brezhnev era – foregrounding the often marginalised people with whom Luria’s clinical work brought him into contact. By historicising science and by focusing on a theoretical approach which itself emphasised the centrality of social and political factors for understanding human subjectivity, the book also seeks to contribute to current debates in the medical humanities.

Psychologisation in Times of Globalisation (Concepts for Critical Psychology)
by Jan De VosToday more than ever, our understanding of ourselves, others and the world around us is described in psychological terms. Psychologists deeply influence our society, and psychological-discourse has invaded companies, advertising, culture, politics, and even our social and family life. Moreover, psychologisation has become a global process, applied to situations such as torture, reality TV and famine. This book analyses this ‘overflow of psychology’ in the three main areas of science, culture and politics. The concept of psychologisation has become crucial to current debates in critical psychology. De Vos combines these debates with insights from the fields of critical theory, philosophy and ideology critique, to present the first book-length argument that seriously considers the concept of psychologisation in these times of globalisation. The book contains numerous real-world examples making it an accessible and engaging analysis that should be of interest to researchers, postgraduates and undergraduate students of psychology and philosophy.
The Psychologisation of Eastern Spiritual Traditions: Colonisation, Translation and Commodification (Concepts for Critical Psychology)
by Elliot CohenThis essential book critically examines the various ways in which Eastern spiritual traditions have been typically stripped of their spiritual roots, content and context, to be more readily assimilated into secular Western frames of Psychology. Beginning with the colonial histories of Empire, the author draws from the 1960s Counterculture and the subsequent romanticising and idealising of the East. Cohen explores how Hindu, Buddhist and Daoist traditions have been gradually transformed into forms of Psychology, Psychotherapy and Self-Help, undergoing processes of ‘modernisation’ and secularisation until their respective cosmologies had been successfully reinterpreted and reimagined. An important component of this psychologisation is the accompanying commodification of Eastern spiritual practices, including the mass-marketing of mindfulness and meditation as part of the burgeoning well-being industry. Also presenting emerging voices of resistance from within Eastern spiritual traditions, the book ends with a chapter on Transpersonal Psychology, showing a path for how to gradually move away from colonisation and towards collaboration. Engaging with the ‘mindfulness movement’ and other practices assimilated by Western culture, this is fascinating reading for students and academics in psychology, philosophy and religious studies, as well as mindfulness practitioners.
Psychologische Anforderungsanalysen: Anforderungsprofile für Management, Arbeit und Business
by Heribert WienkampAnforderungsprofile scheinen auf Personalverantwortliche einen magischen Einfluss auszuüben, denn sonst wären sie für strategische Entscheidungen im Personalmanagement nicht so gefragt. Für Sie als potenzieller Nutzer ist entscheidend, weniger nach dem „universell talentierten Mitarbeiter“ zu fahnden, den es im Übrigen so gar nicht gibt, sondern die aktuelle und zukünftige Personalqualität im Unternehmen festzustellen In diesem Buch erhalten Sie einen Überblick über die mit Anforderungsstrukturen korrespondierenden Instrumente des Personalmanagements wie z.B. Förderkonzepte, Seminarangebote oder Tests. Außerdem werden Ihnen psychologische Erkenntnisse über geschäftlich motiviertes Denken und Handeln vermittelt. Dazu kommt, dass die hier vorgestellte psychologische Anforderungsanalyse nicht nur der Personalauslese und der Personalentwicklung in ihren Kernaufgaben von Nutzen sein wird, sondern ebenso neue Wege zur Identifizierung erfolgskritischer Business-Anforderungen aufzeigen kann. Business-Anforderungen sind z.B. in undurchsichtigen Situationen, wo es auf politische Kalküle und taktisches Geschick ankommt, aber auch bei Einführung moderner Managementsysteme und IT-Technologien (inkl. Social Media) allgegenwärtig und nicht wegzudenken. Zielgruppen: Führungskräfte, Personalreferenten und Arbeitsanalytiker und alle diejenigen, die sich mit Personalfragen, Arbeits- und Anforderungsanalysen, und strategischen Managementthemen beschäftigen. Zum Autor: Heribert Wienkamp ist Dipl.-Psychologe, PhD, Betriebswirt (grad.), berufliche Tätigkeit in verschiedenen Funktionen im Personalbereich einer Bank.
Psychologische Anforderungsanalysen in Theorie und Praxis: Für Führungskräfte und Personalmanager, die Anforderungsprofile erheben wollen (essentials)
by Heribert WienkampPsychologische Anforderungsanalysen zeigen mit ihren Anforderungs- und Qualifikationsprofilen, worauf es zukünftig bei der Arbeit ankommt! Profitieren soll von diesen Informationen, die durch einen Methodenmix aus z. B. Fragebögen und „Expertengesprächen“ vor Ort zuvor zu erheben sind, sowohl die Bewerberauswahl als auch die Schulung des Personals, wie es sich z. B. angesichts neuer strategischer Herausforderungen im Finanzierungsgeschäft einer Bank ergab. Anhand ausgewählter Personalkennzahlen aus der operativen Personalarbeit ist zu prüfen, ob die aktuelle Personalstrategie „noch auf Kurs“ ist.
Psychologische Aspekte des polyzystischen Ovarial-Syndroms (PCOS): Ein Überblick über psychische Begleiterscheinungen und die Verbindung von Psyche und Biologie
by John A. BarryDieses Buch bietet einen Überblick über die neuesten Erkenntnisse zu den psychologischen Aspekten des polyzystischen Ovarsyndroms (PCOS) und ebnet den Weg für Fortschritte in diesem sich rasch entwickelnden Bereich. Anhand eines evidenzbasierten Ansatzes erläutert das Buch, wie PCOS Ängste und Depressionen verursacht, die Lebensqualität beeinträchtigt und mit anderen psychologischen Problemen einhergeht. Die psychologischen Auswirkungen der wichtigsten Merkmale von PCOS werden ebenfalls untersucht, wobei ein besonderer Schwerpunkt auf Insulinresistenz/Diabetes und Fruchtbarkeitsfragen liegt. Das Buch schließt mit einem Kapitel über praktische Empfehlungen, wie man am besten mit Angst und Depression bei PCOS umgeht. Ein wichtiges Merkmal dieses Buches ist, dass es aufzeigt, wie sich Testosteron, ein charakteristisches Merkmal von PCOS, auf die Psychologie auswirkt. Damit füllt es eine Lücke in der aktuellen Forschung und zeigt auf, auf welch komplexe Weise die Biologie die Psychologie bei PCOS beeinflusst und wie die Psychologie genutzt werden kann, um die Biologie positiv zu beeinflussen. Das Buch richtet sich insbesondere an Wissenschaftler und Kliniker in den Bereichen Gesundheitspsychologie und Frauengesundheit.
Psychologische Auswirkungen von Change Prozessen: Widerstände, Emotionen, Veränderungsbereitschaft und Implikationen für Führungskräfte (essentials)
by Miriam Landes Eberhard SteinerNotwendige Veränderungen brechen sich immer Bahn. Verpasst man als Unternehmen den richtigen Zeitpunkt, so gleicht die Veränderung oftmals einem Vulkanausbruch. Ist die Veränderungsnotwendigkeit jedoch bereits für jeden erkennbar, fehlt die Kraft für einen notwendigen Change. In diesem Beitrag werden die Ausprägungen von Veränderungen systematisiert. Daraus leiten sich neun Veränderungssituationen ab, aus der sich die Herangehensweise im Veränderungsmanagement ergeben. Abhängig von der Radikalität des Eingriffes entwickeln sich bei jeder Veränderung unterschiedlich starke Widerstände. Diese Widerstände werden analysiert und Möglichkeiten für Führungskräfte zur Gestaltung der Veränderung aufgezeigt.
Psychologische Begutachtung von Familien mit Migrationshintergrund
by Helen A. CastellanosDie psychologische Begutachtung von Familiensystemen, die kulturell und sprachlich nicht originär in Deutschland verwurzelt sind, stellt eine besondere Herausforderung dar. Die Immigrationswellen der vergangenen Jahre haben deutlich gemacht, dass zum Teil Erziehungsstrategien mitgebracht werden, die nicht mit den hier geltenden rechtlichen und gesellschaftlichen Zielen vereinbar sind. Wie sollen oder dürfen Sachverständige Verhaltensmuster und Wertvorstellungen dieser Familien bewerten und beurteilen, ob bereits die Grenze zur Kindeswohlgefährdung überschritten ist? Wie kann zwischen kulturell geprägten Verhaltensmuster und Anzeichen einer psychischen Erkrankung unterschieden werden? Dieses Buch bietet einen Überblick über die Auswirkung unterschiedlicher kultureller Prägungen und von Migration auf Familien, das konkrete Vorgehen von Sachverständigen bei der familienpsychologischen Begutachtungen von Familien mit Migrationshintergrund und darüber, wie erhobene Befunde bewertet werden können
Psychologische Bildung: Eine philosophische Annäherung
by David FraisslAufgrund der immer größeren gesellschaftlichen Relevanz psychologischer Beschreibungen und Erklärungen ist es an der Zeit, die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen von Psychologischer Bildung auszuloten: Was ist Psychologische Bildung und was ist sie zu leisten imstande? Um diese Fragen zu beantworten, reflektiert das vorliegende Buch die epistemologischen, wissenschaftstheoretischen und anthropologischen Grundlagen der empirischen Psychologie. Als grundlegende Merkmale von Psychologischer Bildung erweisen sich psychologisches Denken, psychologische Kritik und psychologische Autonomie. Psychologisch gebildete Menschen betrachten lebensweltliche Phänomene und Probleme durch die Linse fachpsychologischer Konzepte und Theorien. Dadurch können sie sich kritischer und selbstbestimmter zu ihren subjektiven Bedingungen und Bedingtheiten verhalten, um diese zu beurteilen und gegebenenfalls zu verändern. Psychologische Bildung bereichert die pragmatische Menschen- und Weltkenntnis, indem sie durch und über die empirische Psychologie aufklärt. Schließlich folgen aus der Psychologischen Bildung praktische Konsequenzen für die Psychologievermittlung hinsichtlich ihrer Orientierungen, Inhalte und Methoden.

Psychologists on Psychology (Psychology Press & Routledge Classic Editions)
by David CohenThis is a Classic Edition of David Cohen’s unique collection of interviews with eminent psychologists, first published in 1977. The book presents conversations with thirteen of the world’s great psychologists, who dominated the subject from 1950 to 1980, and who shaped psychology as we know it today. Those interviewed include Burrhus Skinner, Donald Broadbent, Hans Eysenck and also R.D Laing, Noam Chomsky, and Niko Tinbergen. This classic edition contains a newly written introduction which contextualises the interviews as a critique and diagnosis of the problems of contemporary psychology in the mid 1970’s. Together, the interviews cover a broad range of approaches, and the lively debates about theory, practice and what it means to be human which were occurring at that time. The book shows the different approaches each psychologist has to the subject and why, in terms of background, education, experimental research and personal preference, they came to the positions they hold. The classic edition of Psychologists on Psychology provides an astute, critical snapshot of psychology at that time. It will be of great interest to anyone with an interest in psychology, the history of psychology, and the history of ideas.
A Psychologist's Proactive Guide to Managed Mental Health Care
by Alan J. Kent Michel HersenA Psychologist's Proactive Guide to Managed Mental Health Care offers a concise overview of the evolution of managed mental health care and its impact on the working lives of clinical and counseling psychologists.

Their tone is optimistic rather than pessimistic; as they look at developments others have only deplored, they see potential roles and opportunities for growth for psychologists. In an era of dramatic health change, all those practitioners who are concerned about how to make managed care work for them rather than against them, will find this Guide essential reading.

Psychology: Debates and Controversies
by Parul BansalPsychology: Debates and Controversies is about the contested nature of psychology, one of the most fascinating and important disciplines on the formation of human subjectivity. The book delves into critical debates over numerous key questions. Is psychology a natural science or a social science? Why is quantification and experimental logic so central to psychology? What kind of paradigmatic shift does qualitative research in psychology require? How does one understand an 'individual in context'? How does psychology understand the gendered basis of subjectivity? What does the medical model tell us about normality and abnormality? The book reflects upon and interrupts the dominant theories of psychology as told by academic and professional psychologists. It then aids in re-envisioning psychology along pathways that are different from the mainstream. Rather than asking the question 'which perspective is more valid?', the work strives to raise the question 'what is it valid for', which focuses the attention on the ideological ends and goals of different discourses of psychology. Key Features: • Exposes the ideological nature of mainstream scientific psychology • Critically interrogates the images of 'mind', 'individual', 'gender', 'social', 'cultural' that mainstream psychology offers • Reforms psychology along diverse epistemological and methodological lines of enquiry • Presents the salient debates in psychology in a dialogical and argumentative manner to encourage readers to become curious and seek more answers • Gathers, analyzes and re-presents the diverse strands of psychological thought available for a set of core issues under one title
