Book Synopsis Emotionally Dumb by : Jason Thompson
Download or read book Emotionally Dumb written by Jason Thompson and published by Soul Books. This book was released on 2009 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alexithymia is an inability to identify and describe both one's own, and other people's emotions. Although individuals with alexithymia display the typical physical responses associated with emotions - such as tears, butterflies in the stomach or an increased heart rate - they are unable to recognize these responses in terms of the emotions they might be signifying. Emotionally Dumb describes the nature of alexithymia and includes therapeutic and self-help suggestions for overcoming some of the difficulties that alexithymia presents. The author discusses the possible causes and associated conditions, including Asperger Syndrome and posttraumatic stress disorder. The book provides details of the diagnostic tests available and includes an informal questionnaire, developed by the author, for people who believe they may have alexithymia. Written in accessible language, this book is ideal both for professionals and for anyone with an interest in the subject.
Book Synopsis Measuring Immorality by : Gail Reekie
Download or read book Measuring Immorality written by Gail Reekie and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998-10-13 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do conservative politicians and scholars in Britain, Australia and the United States continue to view rising rates of out-of-wedlock births and teenage pregnancies as a threat to civilised society? This book examines the process by which social science transforms a biological event - a birth - into a social and moral problem. Drawing on Foucault's 'archaeology of knowledge', Reekie stresses the role of statistics and other social-scientific discourses in the emergence of the illegitimacy 'problem' in the early nineteenth century and its continuing cultural significance. The book illustrates the continuity in concerns about illegitimacy, including pressure on the welfare system, fears of racial and intellectual denigration, the detrimental nature of fatherless families, and the association of rising illegitimacy with the supposed selfishness of excessively independent women.
Book Synopsis Metaphors, Narratives, Emotions by : Stefán Snævarr
Download or read book Metaphors, Narratives, Emotions written by Stefán Snævarr and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that there is a complex logical and epistemological interplay between the concepts of metaphor, narrative, and emotions. They share a number of important similarities and connections. In the first place, all three are constituted by aspect-seeing, the seeing-as or perception of Gestalts. Secondly, all three are meaning-endowing devices, helping us to furnish our world with meaning. Thirdly, the threesome constitutes a trinity. Emotions have both a narrative and metaphoric structure, and we can analyse the concepts of metaphors and narratives partly in each other’s terms. Further, the concept of narratives can partly be analysed in the terms of emotions. And if emotions have both a narrative structure and a metaphoric one, then the concept of emotions must to some extent be analysable through the concepts of narratives and metaphors. But there is more. Metaphors (especially poetic ones) are important tools for the understanding of the tacit sides of emotions, perhaps because of the metaphoric structure of emotions. The notion that narrations can be tools for understanding emotions follows from two facts: narrations are devices for explanation and emotions have a narrative structure. Fourthly, the threesome has an impact on our rationality. It has become commonplace to say that emotions have a cognitive content, that narratives have an explanatory function, and that metaphors can perform cognitive functions. This book is the first attempt to articulate the implications that these new ways of seeing the three concepts entail for our concept of reason. The cognitive roles of the threesome suggest a richer notion of rationality than has traditionally been held, a rationality enlivened with metaphoric, narrative, and emotive qualities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CHRIS PRATT is now one of the world's most sought-after actors. As the breakout star of Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy and The Lego Movie (two of 2014's biggest box-office hits), as well as landing the lead role in the 2015 Jurassic Park franchise re-boot, Jurassic World, his meteoric rise to fame is proof that anything is possible in Hollywood.Chris's journey to the movie-star A-list may just make him the ultimate 'zero to hero', but it certainly wasn't an overnight success story. A chance encounter transformed Chris's life from living in a van and waiting tables to make enough money to survive, to the bright lights of Los Angeles and his first tentative steps into the acting world.After years as a supporting player in both comedy and dramatic roles, on television (Everwood, Parks and Recreation) and in movies (The Five-Year Engagement, Delivery Man), Chris finally started to attract superstar buzz after appearing in three Best Picture Oscar-nominated films between 2011 and 2013. Along the way he's shown that nice guys don't always finish last, juggling a successful movie career and life as a devoted family man, and somehow finding time to develop killer abs along the way.
Download or read book Next in Line written by Timothy Hoff and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For all the political branding and rebranding of healthcare in the United States, its fundamental unit of currency remains the doctor-patient relationship. This relationship has undergone seismic changes during the twenty-first century, including the introduction of new players (the so-called healthcare "team") and care delivery in settings like big-box stores and bureaucratic health systems. But are any of us better off? Next in Line is the first book to examine the doctor-patient relationship in the context of its new environs, in particular the impact of efficiency-driven innovation and retail-care models on physician mindsets and the patient experience. The overall picture is one of lowered expectations-a transactional, impersonal, and institutionally-limited incarnation of the medical bedside that leaves all parties underwhelmed and overstressed. By first conducting a macro-analysis of key industry trends (including the widespread use of performance metrics and retail principles), then measuring these trends' impacts through interviews with physicians and patients, ext in Line is both an examination and a critique of a care system at a crossroads. It is essential reading for understanding why relational care matters -- and why it must be saved in a corporatized health system bent on using retail approaches to deliver care.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A chiaroscuro of the human homing instinct, often insistent, seldom placated. The story takes us to the mid nineteen-eighties, before the advent of cell phones. Here even the telephone plays a supporting role, the instrument of friendship, revelation, and deceit. Europe's cities and their seasons set the backdrop for a tale of longing, doubt, and quests in midstream. "No one pities diplomats," says Ian Howlett, caught in a career many might envy. And yet. No one knew it at the time, but bloodless Cold War conflict would soon take new forms altogether.

Download or read book Painkiller written by Warren Mcfadden and published by Warren Mcfadden. This book was released on 2023-04-20 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chapter 1 The Early Signs of Monkey Branching I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. Maya Angelou The definition of a monkey-branching relationship is similar to cheating. Monkey-branching occurs when people are considering other options while they are still in a relationship with their partner. They do this to place down a safety net and secure a backup plan in case something goes wrong in their current relationship. Essentially, a dumper that monkey-branches emotionally cheats on his or her current partner and eventually leaves for someone else. 1.They start gaslighting you. This is the definition of gaslighting: manipulate someone by psychological means, be aware when someone start's gaslighting you.When someone gaslighting you they are accusing you of something they are doing.They will accuse you of cheating because they themselves are cheating and monkey branching. 2.They change hobbies and activities. They don’t want to be around you too much, the things you used to do together to Bond together they don’t want to do it no more. Because they start losing interest in you and their mind is focusing on the new person that's taking your place. 3.They change their appearance. They start dressing better and smelling better, they start going to the gym and taking care of themself, because with you they start to get complacent and become a couch potato. With you they didn’t care how they got their hair fixed, they walked around in their dirty ass underwear or dirty black leggings or basketball shorts people have on for a long ass time.They probably walked around the house with that stank ass weave and that nasty hair bonnet on. They do not wash their hair,then all of a sudden they start improving their appearance.They start eating healthy and going on a diet .The reason for this is because they lose interest in you, you become boring and complacent. Nobody wants a boring relationship. 4.You catch them on dating apps This should be a dead giveaway, what you think they get on dating apps to do, they're not looking for a prince in shining armor on a dating app or Mr. Right on a dating app, they're looking for somebody to stretch out their vagina walls a little further. Nobody really goes on dating apps looking for love they go on dating apps looking for sex and in today's time it just like ordering pizza.

The whole subject of treatment is reviewed and expounded in compendious detail, concluding with a critical review and revolutionary suggestions for the future. In spite of its novel and entertaining method of exposition, the book covers a surprisingly wide field – the whole field of clinical psychology up to date – and more.'

Download or read book Personal Effects written by Nancy Caronia and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2014-10-15 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrating one of the most important Italian American female authors of our time, Personal Effects offers a lucid view of Louise DeSalvo as a writer who has produced a vast and provocative body of memoir writing, a scholar who has enriched our understanding of Virginia Woolf, and a teacher who has transformed countless lives. More than an anthology, Personal Effects represents an author case study and an example for modern Italian American interdisciplinary scholarship. Personal Effects examines DeSalvo’s memoirs as works that push the boundaries of the most controversial genre of the past few decades. In these works, the author fearlessly explores issues such as immigration, domesticity, war, adultery, illness, mental health, sexuality, the environment, and trauma through the lens of gender, ethnic, and working-class identity. Alongside her groundbreaking scholarship, DeSalvo’s memoirs attest to the power and influence of this feminist Italian American writer.

Download or read book Shame written by Peter N. Stearns and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2017-09-11 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shame varies as an individual experience and its manifestations across time and cultures. Groups establish identity and enforce social behaviors through shame and shaming, while attempts at shaming often provoke a social or political backlash. Yet historians often neglect shame 's power to complicate individual, international, cultural, and political relationships. Peter N. Stearns draws on his long career as a historian of emotions to provide the foundational text on shame 's history and how this history contributes to contemporary issues around the emotion. Summarizing current research, Stearns unpacks the major debates that surround this complex emotion. He also surveys the changing role of shame in the United States from the nineteenth century to today, including shame 's revival as a force in the 1960s and its place in today 's social media. Looking ahead, Stearns maps the abundant opportunities for future historical research and historically informed interdisciplinary scholarship. Written for interested readers and scholars alike, Shame combines significant new research with a wider synthesis.
