Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do we steal? This question has confounded everyone from parents to judges, teachers to psychologists, economists to more than a few moral thinkers. Stealing can be a result of deprivation, of envy, or of a desire for power and influence. An act of theft can also bring forth someone’s hidden traits – paradoxically proving beneficial to their personal development. Robert Tyminski explores the many dimensions of stealing, and in particular how they relate to a subtle balance of loss versus gain that operates in all of us. Our natural aversion to loss can lead to extreme actions as a means to acquire what we may not be able to obtain through time, work or money. Tyminski uses the myth of Jason, Medea and the Golden Fleece to explore the dilemmas involved in such situations and demonstrate the timelessness of theft as fundamentally human. The Psychology of Theft and Loss incorporates Jungian and psychoanalytic theories as well as more recent cognitive research findings to deepen our appreciation for the complexity of human motivations when it comes to stealing, culminating in consideration of the idea of a perpetually present ‘inner thief’. Combining case studies, Jungian theory and analysis of many different types of stealing including robbery, kidnapping, plagiarism and technotheft, The Psychology of Theft and Loss is a fascinating study which will appeal to psychoanalysts, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, family therapists and students.

Book excerpt: A history of shoplifting, revealing the roots of our modern dilemma. Rachel Shteir's The Steal is the first serious study of shoplifting, tracking the fascinating history of this ancient crime. Dismissed by academia and the mainstream media and largely misunderstood, shoplifting has become the territory of moralists, mischievous teenagers, tabloid television, and self-help gurus. But shoplifting incurs remarkable real-life costs for retailers and consumers. The "crime tax"-the amount every American family loses to shoplifting-related price inflation-is more than $400 a year. Shoplifting cost American retailers $11.7 billion in 2009. The theft of one $5.00 item from Whole Foods can require sales of hundreds of dollars to break even. The Steal begins when shoplifting entered the modern record as urbanization and consumerism made London into Europe's busiest mercantile capital. Crossing the channel to nineteenth-century Paris, Shteir tracks the rise of the department store and the pathologizing of shoplifting as kleptomania. In 1960s America, shoplifting becomes a symbol of resistance when the publication of Abbie Hoffman's Steal This Book popularizes shoplifting as an antiestablishment act. Some contemporary analysts see our current epidemic as a response to a culture of hyper-consumerism; others question whether its upticks can be tied to economic downturns at all. Few provide convincing theories about why it goes up or down. Just as experts can't agree on why people shoplift, they can't agree on how to stop it. Shoplifting has been punished by death, discouraged by shame tactics, and protected against by high-tech surveillance. Shoplifters have been treated by psychoanalysis, medicated with pharmaceuticals, and enforced by law to attend rehabilitation groups. While a few individuals have abandoned their sticky-fingered habits, shoplifting shows no signs of slowing. In The Steal, Shteir guides us through a remarkable tour of all things shoplifting-we visit the Woodbury Commons Outlet Mall, where boosters run rampant, watch the surveillance footage from Winona Ryder's famed shopping trip, and learn the history of antitheft technology. A groundbreaking study, The Steal shows us that shoplifting in its many guises-crime, disease, protest-is best understood as a reflection of our society, ourselves.

Here’s the problem with anti-diet, intuitive and mindful eating books: How are you supposed to lose weight without dieting? How is “intuitive eating” going to help you manage 5-alarm cravings? How is “mindful eating” going to stop runaway hunger? Grand Theft Weight Loss “steals” the answers from an unexpected source--the archives of science, where researchers outside the diet industry figured out what all those weight-loss experts couldn’t: ★ HOW TO CUT YOUR HUNGER IN HALF Brain researchers, studying amnesia, stumbled onto a technique that can cut hunger by up to 50%. Use their concrete, easy-to-implement steps and you’ll find yourself wanting to eat less and less. ★ HOW TO CRAVE VEGETABLES THE WAY YOU CRAVE SUGAR Can you pine for apples the way you pray for pizza? Yes, neuroscientists have developed proven techniques that will make you crave the healthy over the unhealthy. ★ CRAVE VEGETABLES THE WAY YOU CRAVE SUGAR Willpower, motivation and self-control don’t have a chance against overwhelming cravings. What does? This simple-to-implement approach developed by social psychologists studying the science of craving reductions. ★ HOW TO QUIT SUGAR WITHOUT GOING INTO WITHDRAWALS Take an Addiction Medicine approach to your sugar binges with this painless step-by-step technique developed by drug treatment centers. ★ HOW TO EAT SMALLER PORTIONS WITHOUT FEELING DEPRIVED If you served yourself smaller portions you could eat what you want and still lose weight. But how do you do it without feeling cheated or leaving the table hungry? Dieticians don’t know but physiologists do. Use their illuminating techniques to eat less and feel just as full. CHANGE YOUR EATING HABITS, CHANGE YOUR WEIGHT The clinically-proven strategies in this book will reshape your eating habits so you can achieve the promise of anti-dieting: Weight loss without deprivation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring immigration from psychological, historical, clinical, and mythical perspectives, this book considers the varied and complex answers to questions of why people immigrate to entirely new places and leave behind their familiar surroundings and culture. Using research reviews, extensive case material, and literary examples (such as Virgil’s The Aeneid), Robert Tyminski’s work will deepen readers’ understanding of what is both unique and universal about migratory experiences. He addresses the negative consequences of xenophobia, the acculturation experiences of children compared to adults, the trauma and psychological issues that arise when seeking refuge or relocating to a new country, and the more recent implications of COVID-19 upon border crossings. Tyminski also re-evaluates the term identity as a psychological shorthand, suggesting that it can flatten our understanding of human complexity and erase migrant and refugee life stories and differences. As one of few books to investigate immigration from a Jungian-oriented perspective, Robert Tyminski’s work offers a new and broad perspective on the mental health issues related to immigration. This book will prove essential for clinicians working with refugees and migrants, when in training and in practice, as well as students and practitioners of psychoanalysis seeking to deepen their understanding of migratory experiences.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Our ability to pay attention is collapsing. From the author of Chasing the Scream and Lost Connections comes a groundbreaking examination of why this is happening—and how to get our attention back. “The book the world needs in order to win the war on distraction.”—Adam Grant, author of Think Again “Read this book to save your mind.”—Susan Cain, author of Quiet WINNER OF THE PORCHLIGHT BUSINESS BOOK AWARD • ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, New York Post, Mashable, Mindful In the United States, teenagers can focus on one task for only sixty-five seconds at a time, and office workers average only three minutes. Like so many of us, Johann Hari was finding that constantly switching from device to device and tab to tab was a diminishing and depressing way to live. He tried all sorts of self-help solutions—even abandoning his phone for three months—but nothing seemed to work. So Hari went on an epic journey across the world to interview the leading experts on human attention—and he discovered that everything we think we know about this crisis is wrong. We think our inability to focus is a personal failure to exert enough willpower over our devices. The truth is even more disturbing: our focus has been stolen by powerful external forces that have left us uniquely vulnerable to corporations determined to raid our attention for profit. Hari found that there are twelve deep causes of this crisis, from the decline of mind-wandering to rising pollution, all of which have robbed some of our attention. In Stolen Focus, he introduces readers to Silicon Valley dissidents who learned to hack human attention, and veterinarians who diagnose dogs with ADHD. He explores a favela in Rio de Janeiro where everyone lost their attention in a particularly surreal way, and an office in New Zealand that discovered a remarkable technique to restore workers’ productivity. Crucially, Hari learned how we can reclaim our focus—as individuals, and as a society—if we are determined to fight for it. Stolen Focus will transform the debate about attention and finally show us how to get it back.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A measure of our need for integrity, John Beebe writes, is that "we rarely allow ourselves an examination of the concept itself. To do so would betray an unspoken philosophic, poetic, and psychological rule of our culture: not to disturb the mystery of what we desire most." In this sensitive, broadly ranging, and surprisingly detailed work, Beebe reveals much about the nature of integrity while honoring its central mystery. In the process he clarifies not only the importance, but the psychological meaning of this quality. He presents a way of working in psychotherapeutic relationships not only with integrity, but on integrity. Starting with a careful examination of integritas, a word that appears to have been introduced by Cicero, Beebe traces the evolution of the concept from a moral and theological notion to a psychological one. He explores the Eastern understanding of integrity, as well, basing his discussion on pre-Confucian manuscripts of the Tao Te Ching. Viewing anxiety and shame as functions of integrity, he shows the contributions depth psychology can make to integrity's development. He summons the Puritan Forefather as a repressed archetype of integrity, then looks at the ways sex difference and our resulting notions of gender have colored our culture's experience and expression of integrity. He goes beyond C. G. Jung's concept of the anima/feminine principle to present a masculine as well as feminine access to integration and wholeness for men and women. Pointing to the all-important role of the psychological shadow in defining the limits of any moral standpoint, he helps us to locate integrity as the part of a person that is consistent in accepting the ever-shifting wholeness of the total personality. Drawing on his own years of experience as a psychotherapist, Beebe shows how the holding environment of psychotherapy can use delight and rage, dreams and transference to reveal and foster individual integrity. A fairy tale of healing from the Grimm Brothers draws together the strands of his argument in a powerful call for integrity to be not only the goal but the means of therapy. Integrity in Depth is a ground-breaking work that moves the reader to think in a new way about the psychological basis of moral wholeness. John Beebe is a psychiatrist and practicing Jungian analyst in San Francisco. In addition to his private practice, he is a clinical assistant professor at the University of California Medical School. He serves as U.S. editor of the Journal of Analytical Psychology, is the founding editor of the San Francisco Jung Institute Library Journal, and has produced three earlier books as editor and co-author.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Statement for Amazon Listing Dr. Brady's newly released book, Why Rich Women Shoplift When The Have It All, provides a unique and "non-psycho babble" view and insights into the twisting, convoluted, sad and devastating world of the woman shoplifter whose negative thefts can, sometimes lead to jail time, even for the "rich and famous." This book, written by a criminologist and California licensed forensic psychologist, answers questions about why well-off women in society, including the celebrities we all read about, choose to steal, when they know it's not in their best interest and many times ruins their professional careers and lives. Most importantly, Dr. Brady emphasizes, "It's not about the stuff," nor is it need or greed that drives them, because they already have lots of luxury trappings and money to spare. It's really about the psychological composition of these women who, on the exterior seem, well, happy, yet on closer examination, they are lonely, disenfranchised, out of control and out of sorts with themselves and those around them. Many are driven to theft because the feel they were dealt a bad hand somewhere along the line in their lives, and now desire to "even the score" so to speak. In a word, they are desperate! They easily could be your neighbor, friend, child, spouse or even your mother. Their psychological hurt, being very real, is somehow compensated, through the short-term lift provided via theft. But, the hurt and thefts just don't end. Dr. Brady sees the rich shoplifter as the real victim, and not Saks Fifth Avenue or Macy's. Questions concerning why these women risk it all when it appears they already have it all then go ahead and steal are answered. For instance, why are so many women shoplifters highly medicated when studies show that drugs often make their thefts recur? Is shoplifting, as Dr. Brady believes, an addiction so they can't stop even after being arrested ten or fifteen times? Why would a highly successful, upper-management and well respected member of the community suddenly begin the extract her own blood after stealing? Why, in fact, are women shoplifters negatively labeled as societal deviants whereas their male counterparts are not? And, why do these highly wealthy yet low on self esteem women become trapped in, what Dr. Brady has uniquely termed, the "Shoplifting Zone?" When women begin to cycle into the theft zone what contributes to them becoming trapped? It's like a shoplifters Hotel California- "You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave!" Here's what two distinguished behavioral scientists say about the book. " While it is meticulously researched and cited, Dr. Brady writes in an engaging and open manner with real life cases suitable for all readers. This book will soon become the standard-bearer on the issue." Robert Costello, J.D., Ed.D., Chair Criminal Justice Department, SUNY Nassau Community College, Adjunct Associate Professor, Sociology Department, Hofstra University. "Dr. Brady...has written one of the most important and in-depth professional tomes on the social psychological factors that influence women to shoplift."

Book excerpt: Fraud, like other crime, can best be explained by three factors: a supply of motivated offenders, the availability of suitable targets and the absence of capable guardians-control systems or someone "to mind the store", so to speak (Cohen & Felson 1979).In this, the first of two papers, the authors focus on motivation and other psychological aspects of fraud. They identify a number of psychological correlates of fraud offending, but note that these are by no means unique to fraud, and do not necessarily differentiate fraudsters from law-abiding citizens. The other two factors, opportunities and guardianship, provide more scope for fraud control and are addressed in a companion paper on "red flags", or situational indicia, of fraud risk.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • One of the most remarkable true-crime narratives of the twenty-first century: the story of the world’s most prolific art thief, Stéphane Breitwieser. • “The Art Thief, like its title character, has confidence, élan, and a great sense of timing."—The New Yorker "Enthralling." —The Wall Street Journal In this spellbinding portrait of obsession and flawed genius, the best-selling author of The Stranger in the Woods brings us into Breitwieser’s strange world—unlike most thieves, he never stole for money, keeping all his treasures in a single room where he could admire them. For centuries, works of art have been stolen in countless ways from all over the world, but no one has been quite as successful at it as the master thief Stéphane Breitwieser. Carrying out more than two hundred heists over nearly eight years—in museums and cathedrals all over Europe—Breitwieser, along with his girlfriend who worked as his lookout, stole more than three hundred objects, until it all fell apart in spectacular fashion. In The Art Thief, Michael Finkel brings us into Breitwieser’s strange and fascinating world. Unlike most thieves, Breitwieser never stole for money. Instead, he displayed all his treasures in a pair of secret rooms where he could admire them to his heart’s content. Possessed of a remarkable athleticism and an innate ability to circumvent practically any security system, Breitwieser managed to pull off a breathtaking number of audacious thefts. Yet these strange talents bred a growing disregard for risk and an addict’s need to score, leading Breitwieser to ignore his girlfriend’s pleas to stop—until one final act of hubris brought everything crashing down. This is a riveting story of art, crime, love, and an insatiable hunger to possess beauty at any cost.

When a boy or man says this, he is expressing deep alienation from himself and the world. Something’s wrong, and he usually cannot begin to explain why. What brings boys and men into psychotherapy or analysis? Many of them struggle with access to their inner worlds. Experiences of alienation can lead to destructive and self-destructive behaviors, including addiction and violence. This book explores the reasons for this and considers why boys and men seek professional help. How do psychotherapists and analysts engage them when they often protest that they want to be left alone? Looking at the male psyche from boyhood through adolescence and into adulthood, Male Alienation at the Crossroads of Identity, Culture and Cyberspace provides examples from clinical practice, current events, art, and literature that show what happens when alienation is severe and leads boys and men to discharge their emotional problems in the outside world. The book examines compulsive internet use, flawed concepts of masculinity, difficulties with mutually intimate relationships, trouble showing emotions, and identity issues, as well as the role of fathers, with a focus on the types of fathers that many boys and men describe as being difficult. Tyminski provides various practical ideas about working with boys and men to encourage them to be open to their inner worlds, and emphasizes a contrast between having meaningful contacts or having a merely transactional approach to relating. Male Alienation at the Crossroads of Identity, Culture and Cyberspace will be essential reading for Jungian analysts, psychotherapists, and psychoanalysts as well as a wide range of other professionals who work with men and boys.

Book excerpt: The central ideas behind the books on linguistic brain therapy and the psychology of the brain aim to help psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists, health workers, family members, and clients. They provide knowledge and methods to reduce or eliminate mental disorders, leading to a better life for clients and more secure, satisfied therapists. Therapists and psychologists who achieve good results can continue their treatment confidently, while gaining a scientific understanding of the mental changes in their clients as they improve. Therapists who are less successful can acquire scientifically grounded knowledge to achieve better outcomes. Family members will gain knowledge about mental disorders, enabling them to help their children more effectively. Those suffering from mental disorders can acquire knowledge and techniques that alleviate their condition and create a life with less mental pain. These goals are achievable because the books contain scientific knowledge about mental constructs that anchor and trigger mental distress or well-being. They also provide insights into how to protect against and manage mental pain. The Significance of Research Early in my practice, several clients achieved amazing results that psychology could not explain, leading to an extensive research project. This research, initially met with skepticism, involved analyzing mental processes in clients for 9 years, uncovering how mental disorders are constructed and the mental changes experienced during improvement. A conclusion was that all mental disorders can be cured using words, though it may take time. These findings offered solutions to challenges in psychology and psychiatry for over 150 years. Significant Discoveries I discovered that mental disorders are constructed more simply than previously believed. Mental well-being and disorders are constructed from the same mental or mental-biological material, in the same manner, allowing the same methods to treat various mental disorders and develop mental well-being. I Now Know for Sure I am now certain that knowledge of brain psychology and linguistic therapy can help those with mental distress gain more control over their emotions and problems. Psychologists and health workers can treat clients with greater scientific certainty, achieving faster and better results. The most reliable evidence includes success stories, comments from international scientific journals, and observations from colleagues over many years. After 30 years of research and treating over 1000 clients, I am convinced that linguistic brain therapy not only helps individuals but also enables those who have studied the books to help others. For more information, visit: www.brainpsychology.pro. Simple, but not Easy The book 'Linguistic Brain Therapy' explains how to treat clients to become mentally stronger and more in control of their lives. The Books Offer the Necessary Knowledge The book on the Psychology of the Brain provides essential knowledge for understanding mental disorders. 'Linguistic Brain Therapy', based on Brain Psychology, guides therapists and others in treating clients effectively. My doctoral dissertation on mental distress and change is available at the University Library in Oslo. Are These Claims True? The books provide strong evidence for the claims. Practical evidence like success stories and research findings will be shared on: www.brainpsychology.pro. If you face mental challenges, explore brain psychology and linguistic therapy. These books can improve lives for many years, focusing on positive emotions, mental resources, coping strategies, and treatment of mental disorders.

Book excerpt: In the tradition of The Orchid Thief, a compelling narrative set within the strange and genteel world of rare-book collecting: the true story of an infamous book thief, his victims, and the man determined to catch him. Rare-book theft is even more widespread than fine-art theft. Most thieves, of course, steal for profit. John Charles Gilkey steals purely for the love of books. In an attempt to understand him better, journalist Allison Hoover Bartlett plunged herself into the world of book lust and discovered just how dangerous it can be. John Gilkey is an obsessed, unrepentant book thief who has stolen hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of rare books from book fairs, stores, and libraries around the country. Ken Sanders is the self-appointed "bibliodick" (book dealer with a penchant for detective work) driven to catch him. Bartlett befriended both outlandish characters and found herself caught in the middle of efforts to recover hidden treasure. With a mixture of suspense, insight, and humor, she has woven this entertaining cat-and-mouse chase into a narrative that not only reveals exactly how Gilkey pulled off his dirtiest crimes, where he stashed the loot, and how Sanders ultimately caught him but also explores the romance of books, the lure to collect them, and the temptation to steal them. Immersing the reader in a rich, wide world of literary obsession, Bartlett looks at the history of book passion, collection, and theft through the ages, to examine the craving that makes some people willing to stop at nothing to possess the books they love.
