Book Synopsis The Grief Collective: by : Marianne Trent
Download or read book The Grief Collective: written by Marianne Trent and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-04 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In September 2020 a call went out across social media for people to write about their experiences of grief. The invitation was open to all and people were asked to discuss what grief meant to them and how it has affected their lives to date. This project became 'The Grief Collective: Stories of Life, Loss & Learning to Heal.' The idea for this book originally came from the author's own experiences when her Father was palliatively unwell. It was during this time that she informally considered she had a 'Dead Dad Club.' The Club comprised a group of friends and colleagues who understood grief. Their messages and validation were such an invaluable source of support to her that she wanted to recreate the same for people who didn't have ready access to such empathic, supportive, grief-informed people in real life. The Grief Collective is exactly that - an opportunity for readers to learn about grief and be supported with it by the experts - the people who have experienced it. The Grief Collective: Stories of Life, Loss & Learning to Heal is a collection of personal, real life stories from people who have grieved or are grieving. The stories depict grief, bereavement and even the most difficult aspects of grief including complex / complicated grief, whereby the grief response extends beyond typical clinical expectations. The narratives describe how grief can be an entirely destabilising experience to endure. Each story is told in the unique style of the person who wrote it. The 54 story contributors talk about what helped them to cope at the time and since. They also describe helpful resources such as therapies, support groups and books. The Grief Collective includes a wide variety of grief themes including; cancer, dementia, stroke, suicide, loss of a relationship, miscarriage / stillbirth, accidental death, death of pets and the death of people whom relationships were difficult when they were alive. Some people discuss that their grief caused them to see life differently and / or to take positive steps to reduce stigma or raise funds to support and benefit others. We all have differing responses to grief. It seems society often has set ways to respond to people who are grieving. Recurrent themes include people being offered initial condolences but then being somewhat left to 'get on with it' as people don't want to upset them. This just isn't the reality of grief, there are many layers and stages to it and talking really seems to help even if the 'problem' can't be fixed. This book is for people who are grieving, have grieved, or for people who would like to learn more about how to support those who are grieving. It has a broad appeal and could be used by health professionals too. The Grief collective builds a truly modern and diverse picture of grief and allows readers to feel validated and normalised in their experiences. If you're struggling with grief or know someone who is then it is highly likely that some of the things you're feeling are also described within this book. Themes discussed include juggling family life, mental health and COVID-19. The contributors range in age from late teens to 70's and are from across the U.K and internationally too. The author, Dr Marianne Trent is a Clinical Psychologist in The NHS & in Private Practice. She specialises in Trauma, Grief, Anxiety & Depression. This is Marianne's first book although she also appears in Amy Brown's 'Let's Talk About The First Year of Parenting' book. Marianne is a regular blogger, writing about mental health related topics and concepts. She has been interviewed live on the BBC News and written for The Guardian, Platinum Magazine and Grazia Daily.
Book Synopsis Collective Reflexology by : Jaan Valsiner
Download or read book Collective Reflexology written by Jaan Valsiner and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vladimir Mikhailovitch Bekhterev was a pioneering Russian neurologist, psychiatrist, and psychologist. A highly esteemed rival of Ivan Pavlov, his achievements in the areas of personality, clinical psychology, and political and social psychology were recognized and acclaimed throughout the world. Publication of the complete text of Collective Reflexology brings to the English-speaking world this brilliant scientist's final theoretical statements on how reflexological principles, which he had been developing over a quarter century, can be extended far beyond analysis of the individual personality. Bekhterev's work grows out of his interest in group psychology and suggestion. This concept of the reflex is much broader than Pavlov's. It is applicable to every variety of life. Bekhterev compared his own analyses to those of other European thinkers such as Comte, LeBon, and Sorokin. Such analyses strained against the official Marxist-Leninist doctrines of the era. Bekhterev died in 1927, allegedly of poisoning by Stalin's henchman. As with many scientists during the Soviet era, his legacy was suppressed. In the normal course of events his name would have been as well known as that of Freud, Pavlov or, more lately, B.F. Skinner. This first publication of Bekhterev's great work in English fills a void in the fields of psychology, sociology, and the history of science. V.M. Bekhterev was director of the Military Medical Academy in St. Petersburg and founded there its Psychoneurological Institute. Among his many books are Suggestion: Its Role in Social Life (available from Transaction) and The Subject Matter and Goals of Social Psychology. Lloyd H. Strickland is professor of psychology at Carleton University. He is the author of numerous journal articles and editor of Directions in Soviet Social Psychology and Soviet and Western Perspectives in Social Psychology. "Bekhterev (1857-1927) is a formidable figure, and his work continues to deserve careful study."-Canadian Psychology

Six chapters of fascinating case vignettes illustrate therapeutic techniques and show how clients tap into their underlying inner unity to create the conditions for their own maturation, making it safe for their alters to grow, heal, and eventually join the host as a seamless, harmonious whole.

Book Synopsis C.G. Jung and the Archetypes of the Collective Unconscious by : Robin Robertson
Download or read book C.G. Jung and the Archetypes of the Collective Unconscious written by Robin Robertson and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1987 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author presents a stimulating panorama of Jung's psychology, and shows how accurately it corresponds to the strange world described by twentieth-century scientists in fields other than psychology. He traces the development of the concept of the archetypes of the collective unconscious from the dawn of the scientific method in the Renaissance to twentieth-century mathematician Kurt Godel's proof of the limits of science. Robertson's presentation of Jung's psychology is the most complete to date, treating it as a connected whole, from the early experimental studies to the final work using alchemy as a model of psychological dynamics."

Personal reflections and recommendations are shared throughout the book with the intention of helping you improve yourself both professionally and personally. Validation and advice is given around how to work effectively and efficiently in clinical, research, and academic settings.

I provide consideration and recommendations for those who are involved in dictating the process of becoming a clinical psychologist in the hope that they would recognise the flaws and gaps within the system, moving them to support those who wish to pursue this career. Furthermore, I speak frankly about your need to prioritise and protect your personal wellbeing as it is constantly at risk of being injured by the process of becoming a clinical psychologist itself. Afterall, if you don't have your personal wellbeing, you will have nothing.

Book Synopsis The Psychology of Totalitarianism by : Mattias Desmet
Download or read book The Psychology of Totalitarianism written by Mattias Desmet and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2022-06-23 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world is in the grips of mass formation—a dangerous, collective type of hypnosis—as we bear witness to loneliness, free-floating anxiety, and fear giving way to censorship, loss of privacy, and surrendered freedoms. It is all spurred by a singular, focused crisis narrative that forbids dissident views and relies on destructive groupthink. Desmet’s work on mass formation theory was brought to the world’s attention on The Joe Rogan Experience and in major alternative news outlets around the globe. Read this book to get beyond the sound bites! Totalitarianism is not a coincidence and does not form in a vacuum. It arises from a collective psychosis that has followed a predictable script throughout history, its formation gaining strength and speed with each generation—from the Jacobins to the Nazis and Stalinists—as technology advances. Governments, mass media, and other mechanized forces use fear, loneliness, and isolation to demoralize populations and exert control, persuading large groups of people to act against their own interests, always with destructive results. In The Psychology of Totalitarianism, world-renowned Professor of Clinical Psychology Mattias Desmet deconstructs the societal conditions that allow this collective psychosis to take hold. By looking at our current situation and identifying the phenomenon of “mass formation”—a type of collective hypnosis—he clearly illustrates how close we are to surrendering to totalitarian regimes. With detailed analyses, examples, and results from years of research, Desmet lays out the steps that lead toward mass formation, including: An overall sense of loneliness and lack of social connections and bonds A lack of meaning—unsatisfying “bullsh*t jobs” that don’t offer purpose Free-floating anxiety and discontent that arise from loneliness and lack of meaning Manifestation of frustration and aggression from anxiety Emergence of a consistent narrative from government officials, mass media, etc., that exploits and channels frustration and anxiety In addition to clear psychological analysis—and building on Hannah Arendt’s essential work on totalitarianism, The Origins of Totalitarianism—Desmet offers a sharp critique of the cultural “groupthink” that existed prior to the pandemic and advanced during the COVID crisis. He cautions against the dangers of our current societal landscape, media consumption, and reliance on manipulative technologies and then offers simple solutions—both individual and collective—to prevent the willing sacrifice of our freedoms. “We can honor the right to freedom of expression and the right to self-determination without feeling threatened by each other,” Desmet writes. “But there is a point where we must stop losing ourselves in the crowd to experience meaning and connection. That is the point where the winter of totalitarianism gives way to a spring of life.” "Desmet has an . . . important take on everything that’s happening in the world right now."—Aubrey Marcus, podcast host "[Desmet] is waking a lot of people up to the dangerous place we are now with a brilliant distillation of how we ended up here."—Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. "One of the most important books I’ve ever read."—Ivor Cummins, The Fat Emperor Podcast "This is an amazing book . . . [Desmet is] one of the true geniuses I've spoken to . . . This book has really changed my view on a lot."—Tucker Carlson, speaking on The Will Cain Podcast

Book excerpt: Anxiety sensitivity (AS) is the fear of anxiety sensations which arises from beliefs that these sensations have harmful somatic, social, or psychological consequences.

In addition, AS has been the subject of numerous symposia, papers, and posters at professional conventions. Why this growing interest?

Book Synopsis Psychological Agency by : Roger Frie
Download or read book Psychological Agency written by Roger Frie and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A multidisciplinary exploration of agency as a central psychological phenomenon based on the affective, embodied, and relational processing of human experience. Agency is a central psychological phenomenon that must be accounted for in any explanatory framework for human action. According to the diverse group of scholars, researchers, and clinicians who have contributed chapters to this book, psychological agency is not a fixed entity that conforms to traditional definitions of free will but an affective, embodied, and relational processing of human experience. Agency is dependent on the biological, social, and cultural contexts that inform and shape who we are. Yet agency also involves the creation of meaning and the capacity for imagining new and different ways of being and acting and cannot be entirely reduced to biology or culture. This generative potential of agency is central to the process of psychotherapy and to psychological change and development. The chapters explore psychological agency in theoretical, clinical and developmental, and social and cultural contexts. Psychological agency is presented as situated within a web of intersecting biophysical and cultural contexts in an ongoing interactive and developmental process. Persons are seen as not only shaped by, but also capable of fashioning and refashioning their contexts in new and meaningful ways. The contributors have all trained in psychology or psychiatry, and many have backgrounds in philosophy; wherever possible they combinetheoretical discussion with clinical case illustration. Contributors: John Fiscalini, Roger Frie, Jill Gentile, Adelbert H. Jenkins, Elliot L. Jurist, Jack Martin, Arnold Modell, Linda Pollock, Pascal Sauvayre, Jeff Sugarman
