Analyzing a Long Dream Series: What Can We Learn About How Dreaming Works?
Par Michael Schredl. 2024
Analyzing a Long Dream Series provides an extraordinary insight into the richness and variability of dreams, considering over 12,000 dreams…
that have been recorded for more than 30 years.Internationally recognized dream scientist Michael Schredl opens up his own personal dream series, offering a unique window into the interplay between waking life and dreaming. The book considers a huge range of dream topics, including family, friends, schoolmates, colleagues, erotic dreams, alongside the appearance of everyday objects. It also discusses rarer themes such as pain perception, temperature perception, and typical dreams about toilets, exams, and teeth. As the author is both the dreamer and the researcher, questions like why we dream about topics we have never experienced in waking life – for example, about the pain of being shot in the stomach – can be addressed, shedding light on the creative nature of dreams. The in-depth analyses provided in this book attempt to answer the field's most profound questions: why do we dream every night, and why do we dream in such creative ways about the issues that are important to us in waking life? The dreams analyzed question existing dream theories such as simulation theories, and the author proposes a function of recalled dreams for creative problem solving and provides ideas for future research.This fascinating book is an essential read for all dream researchers and students of the psychology of dreams.Consciousness, Life and the Universe
Par Xue Fan. 2024
What is consciousness? What is life? What is the universe? This book explores these three interconnected questions, providing deep insights…
into the past, present and future of consciousness research. Consciousness, Life and the Universe builds a unified view of consciousness across biological, chemical and physical scales, tracing the natural connections from the infinitesimally small to the infinitely big; from quantum fields and elementary particles to molecules, cells and living organisms to the cosmos; from the evolution of life to the evolution of the universe and to the future of humanity. The book provides a unified framework for future consciousness studies and identifies the scientific and technological approaches that are essential for further understanding consciousness. Through this pioneering research approach, the book clearly redefines consciousness and life and conceives a plausible view of the origin and nature of the universe. This is a must-read for students and researchers in consciousness studies, cognitive psychology, cognitive science and neuroscience, as well as anyone interested in the biological and physical basis of consciousness and the history and evolution of consciousness research.Successful Career Strategy: An HR Practitioner's Guide to Reach Your Dream Job (Business Guides on the Go)

Par Lloyd Hawkeye Robertson. 2020
In this work the self, which is core to such concepts as self-esteem and self-actualization, is mapped using elemental units…
of culture called memes. To understand this self, we draw on Western philosophy, major schools of psychology, and the cross-cultural experience of the self in both collectivist and individualist cultures. With this grounding a diverse sample of eleven selves representing three genders are mapped and analyzed, grouped in the following clusters: 1) North American selves built through participation in sports; 2) selves centred on notions of North American aboriginality; 3) selves of individuals following a secular humanist paradigm; and 4) selves from China and Russia. Two methods of self-mapping are described. The results support a hypothesis that a healthy or functional self is composed of fundamental elements including constancy, volition, uniqueness, productivity, intimacy, and social interest. The application of this research and the method of self-mapping to counselling and psychotherapy are explored. A disciplinary paradigm is proposed uniting major schools of psychotherapy. This work will be of interest to philosophers, psychologists, social workers, sociologists, and all who have wondered how they come to define themselves in the ways that they do.

Par Charles Garrad. 2014
In Petun to Wyandot, Charles Garrad draws upon five decades of research to tell the turbulent history of the Wyandot…
tribe, the First Nation once known as the Petun. Combining and reconciling primary historical sources, archaeological data and anthropological evidence, Garrad has produced the most comprehensive study of the Petun Confederacy. Beginning with their first encounters with French explorer Samuel de Champlain in 1616 and extending to their decline and eventual dispersal, this book offers an account of this people from their own perspective and through the voices of the nations, tribes and individuals that surrounded them.Through a cross-reference of views, including historical testimony from Jesuits, European explorers and fur traders, as well as neighbouring tribes and nations, Petun to Wyandot uncovers the Petun way of life by examining their culture, politics, trading arrangements and legends. Perhaps most valuable of all, it provides detailed archaeological evidence from the years of research undertaken by Garrad and his colleagues in the Petun Country, located in the Blue Mountains of Central Ontario. Along the way, the author meticulously chronicles the work of other historians and examines their theories regarding the Petun's enigmatic life story.The latest research in neuroscience and parenting come together in this groundbreaking book, which brings to light new realizations about…
the power of nurture for our children's mental and physical health outcomes. Greer Kirshenbaum, PhD. is a neuroscientist, doula, and parent. Her work began with the goal of developing new treatments for poor mental health; she dreamed of creating a new medication to address conditions like anxiety, depression, addiction, and chronic stress. Over time, she realized that science had already uncovered a powerful medicine for alleviating mental health struggles, but the answer wasn&’t a pill. It was a preventative approach: when babies' receive nurturing care in the first three years of life, it builds strong, resilient brains -- brains that are less susceptible to poor mental health. How can parents best set their children up for success? In this revelatory book, Dr. Kirshenbaum makes plain that nurture is a preventative medicine against mental health issues. She challenges the idea that the way to cultivate independence is through letting babies cry it out or sleep alone; instead, the way to raise a confident, securely attached child is to lean in to nurture, to hold your infant as much as you want, support their emotions, engage in back-and-forth conversations, be present and compassionate when your baby is stressed, and share sleep. Research has proven that nurturing experiences transform lives. Nurturing is a gift of resilience and health parents can give the next generation simply by following their instincts to care for their young.Working with Survivors of Sibling Sexual Abuse: A Guide to Therapeutic Support and Protection for Children and Adults
Par Christiane Sanderson. 2024
Sibling sexual abuse is considered to be one of the most common forms of child sexual abuse within the family…
setting, yet it is often ignored, downplayed or denied in spite the impact on survivors.

She provides a clear explanation of the difference between developmentally appropriate, consensual sexual exploration and developmentally inappropriate, non-consensual sexual behaviour.

This book is essential reading for anyone involved in assessing, supporting, safeguarding or treating individuals or families impacted by sibling sexual abuse and all those working with adult survivors.The Autistic Survival Guide to Therapy
Par Steph Jones. 2024
"This is the book that would've saved me nine different therapists, decades of self-analysis, thousands of pounds, twelve different doctors…
and untold amounts of pain, frustration and trauma - in spending a lifetime looking for the right answers in the wrong places I've become an accidental expert."In this candid, witty and insightful exploration into therapy, Steph Jones uses her professional and lived experiences as a late diagnosed autistic woman and therapist, as well as consulting therapists from across the world and tapping into the autistic community, to create the ultimate autistic survival guide to therapy.Steph confronts the statistics, inadequate practices and ableist therapists head on and poses the questions of how we can make therapy neurodivergence-affirming and how to create safe spaces for autistic individuals. With strategic and practical advice to help recognise the 'red flags' of a dodgy therapist and provide a clear roadmap to finding your confidence and setting the appropriate boundaries with a new therapist, Steph has every question answered.To support therapists striving for inclusivity and a neurodiverse affirming practice, the inclusion of a context guide provides a deconstruction of each therapy session so you can recognise how undiagnosed (or diagnosed) autism may present itself during therapy and how you can start to explore this in the therapeutic space.Autistic and Black: Our Experiences of Growth, Progress and Empowerment
Par Kala Allen Omeiza. 2024

of trauma-informed practice and intervention: its history, the latest frameworks for practice and an inspiring vision for future trauma-transformative practice.The Handbook is interdisciplinary, incorporating trauma research, interpersonal neuroscience, the historical and continuing experiences of victims and survivors, and insights from practitioners. It addresses a range of current issues spanning polyvagal theory, the social brain, oxytocin and the healing power of love, and the neuropsychological roots of shame. It also considers trauma through the lens of communities, with chapters on healing inter/transgenerational trauma and building communities' capacity to end interpersonal violence.Furthermore the Handbook makes the case for a new way of thinking about trauma - trauma transformative practice.

Par Miriam Silver. 2024
Trauma and attachment are commonly used terms, but are complex concepts. 'Trauma' refers to negative experiences that cause us to…
fear for our safety, whilst 'attachment' describes meaningful relationships with someone we love or respect. Why, then, is so much of the language surrounding these concepts so obscure, and why is it so challenging to help children who have experienced trauma, and lack healthy attachment bonds? Providing grounded advice accompanied by accessible 'doodles' throughout, this guide aims to bring some clarity to the subject. It explains the differing attachment patterns in children who are adopted, fostered, or have experienced early trauma. The book also provides advice on how to repair attachment difficulties and to build secure, loving relationships. With new material on cultural diversity and sexual exploitation as well as specific guidance for trafficked and asylum-seeking children, this fully updated new edition provides you with all you need to know.Die therapeutische Freiheit bezieht sich auf das Recht und die Verantwortung von Therapeut:innen, die beste Behandlungsmethode für Patient:innen auszuwählen.

ist möglich, dass der Einsatz von KI-Algorithmen in der Psychotherapie diese Freiheit bedroht, wenn er z.B. die therapeutischen Entscheidungen dominiert oder ersetzt. Jedoch kann der Einsatz von KI-Algorithmen auch positive Auswirkungen haben, etwa im Bereich der Qualitätssicherung. Möglicherweise können Algorithmen-basierte Tools uns darin unterstützen, typische menschliche Verzerrungen und Unzulänglichkeiten bei komplexen Vorhersagen zu reduzieren. Sollten sich dann also Psychotherapeut:innen nicht die Freiheit nehmen, technische Hilfsmittel (incl. zukünftiger KI-Algorithmen) zur Unterstützung heranzuziehen…?Die wichtigste Freiheits-Bedrohung scheint darin zu liegen, dass Psychotherapeut:innen sich selbst beschränken könnten oder sich durch KI das Denken abnehmen lassen. Dieses essential gibt einen Einblick und stellt weiterführende Fragen.Behavioral Health and Human Interactions in Space

Par Erich Fromm. 1963
&“Fromm crossed the boundaries of traditional disciplines to expound his view on the alienation of man in an increasingly technological…
world.&” —Newsweek Erich Fromm&’s basic idea was to look at the individual as a social being, and to look at society as an ensemble of many individuals who have not only mutual ideas and convictions based on a common practice of life, but also a shared psychic structure. With his concept of &“social character,&” Fromm created a new interdisciplinary thinking presented in this compendium.The Erich Fromm Reader exhibits the true genius of an original thinker in seeing the connections between overlapping knowledge from many different fields. Here, interdisciplinarity is not only a lip service but the impact of Erich Fromm&’s unique social psychological notion.Salvation begins with faith but many Christians are frustrated trying to live the Christian life in this world. They want…
to serve Christ but find that they fail again and again in their attempts to get victory over sin, overcome the flesh, die to the self, and love others. Most have no definite idea of how these goals are to be achieved. This should not be the case because the Bible gives us a clear road map to spiritual and psychological maturity; it is accomplished revelation by revelation as we grow in our knowledge of God. It is not enough to have the knowledge of God in our minds or even to love Him with our emotions-faith must grow in our spirit. Only through this kind of faith is it possible to overcome our selfishness, develop the self-discipline necessary to conquer sin, and achieve a life of peace motivated by unconditional love. This book clearly and concretely explains each step in this process, identifies the spiritual revelations required, and provides methods and models for assisting us in moving to the next step. The goal of this book is to remove the mystery that shrouds the process of spiritual and psychological growth so that the path to spiritual maturity can be clearly seen and followed.
