This book was released on 2020-04-30 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mind is a mysterious thing, even to someone trained in psychology. As forensic psychologist in the town of New Bern, North Carolina, Dr. Trattoria has seen hundreds of patients and interacted with thousands more. Patients come to Dr. Trattoria for help, but there is no easy solution to a problem related to the human condition. This is especially true when he must formulate an answer to a problem that suits someone else. This collection of stories about the varied clientele Dr. Trattoria has treated shows the impressive spectrum of psychological distress humans are capable of enduring. From getting woken up in the middle of the night by a phone call from a stranger threatening to kill his entire family to a new stepfather looking to improve the family dynamics with his teenage stepdaughters, it’s never a dull day for this forensic psychologist. The Ramblings of a Psychologist is part memoir, part mystery novel, part philosophical treatise. Dr. Trattoria considers himself an investigator, solving his patients' conundrums one painful dilemma at a time.
Download or read book Usual Me written by Geoffrey Windham and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2007-08-01 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brimming full with cutting-edge psychology from the mind of a insightful psychotherapist, Windham's book takes the reader beyond the rants and ramblings of a psychotherapist into a deep inquiry not only into psychology but the very meaning of life itself. "Usual Me" is a book about what it means to be human, and what a human being means when they think about themselves. Windham writing uses personal stories, psychotherapy tales from his practice and draws on the wisdom of the past and present from Buddha to Lenny Bruce, from Ram Dass to Monty Python, from Martin Buber to Krishnamurti. Usual me is the localised entity that is defined by otherness and yearns to be whole. It is everything that we are and are not, past present and future. It is a creator that can only keep creating itself as it attempts to interpret the world and add meaning that placates its need to feel safe and to be right. It is the voice in our heads that rarely, if ever, shuts up, for fear of its own demise, going on and on and on describing the world to itself, forever seeking the advantage, the angle, the profit. Hearing the true, still small voice, without adding to the noise, or invoking more force, is the great challenge of being a human being, transforming ourselves by intending and creating a field of local integrity to which we all can contribute.Each piece contributed makes the whole. Each piece withdrawn solidifies the fragmentation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a tour-de-force on how human consciousness may have evolved. From the "phantom pain" experienced by people who have lost their limbs to the uncanny faculty of "blindsight," Humphrey argues that raw sensations are central to all conscious states and that consciousness must have evolved, just like all other mental faculties, over time from our ancestors'bodily responses to pain and pleasure. "Humphrey is one of that growing band of scientists who beat literary folk at their own game"-RICHARD DAWKINS "A wonderful bookbrilliant, unsettling, and beautifully written. Humphrey cuts bravely through the currents of contemporary thinking, opening up new vistas on old problems offering a feast of provocative ideas." -DANIEL DENNETT
Book Synopsis The Psychology of Strategy by : Kenneth Payne
Download or read book The Psychology of Strategy written by Kenneth Payne and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do strategists decide what they wish to achieve through war, and how they might accomplish it? And why does their understanding of violence regularly turn out to be wrong? In seeking answers to these questions Kenneth Payne draws on the study of psychology to examine strategic behaviour during the Vietnam War. He explores the ways in which cognitive biases distort our sense of our own agency and our decision-making, arguing that much of the latter is emotional, shaped by unconscious processing and driven by a prickly concern for social esteem. The Nixon and Johnson administrations both proved susceptible to the processes that are familiar to students of modern neuroscience and psychology, but perhaps less appreciated within strategic studies. US strategists in the Vietnam era miscalculated in ways that would surprise rational theorists, but not evolutionary psychologists: they exaggerated the stakes, embraced risky and overly optimistic solutions, and failed to appreciate the limits of force to shatter the enemy's resolve. Their concern for reputation led to escalation, based on a flawed conception of what such escalation could achieve. The Vietnam conflict provides an excellent illustration that war is an inherently psychological phenomenon. This challenges abstract notions of rationality in strategic affairs, suggesting that the strategists -- much like the rest of us -- are strangers to themselves.

Book Synopsis Becoming a Clinical Psychologist by : Danielle Knafo
Download or read book Becoming a Clinical Psychologist written by Danielle Knafo and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-02-06 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether you are thinking about starting therapy, going to graduate school, or are yourself a practicing healer of hearts and minds, Becoming a Clinical Psychologist: Personal Stories of Doctoral Training offers a wealth of useful information about today’s training and trainees.. This book is a collection of accounts written by a diverse group of early-career psychologists and doctoral students in their final stages of training. Each of the twelve authors provides a deeply personal, inside perspective on becoming a therapist. Some of the chapters combine qualitative research with the author’s particular experience, while others emphasize the author’s personal journey as s/he moves from novice to clinician. Some of the issues that are covered include the ways in which training affects personal and professional relationships with spouses, friends, peers, faculty and supervisors, and clients; how budding clinicians deal with their own issues and feelings of inadequacy; and how trainees learn to develop the right balance of empathy and detachment in working with clients. Also unique to this collection is the diversity reflected in the contributors, which include an Orthodox Jewish gay man who “came out” during training; a Black woman of African descent who found a home in the psychoanalytic approach; a White man who experienced minority status in his mostly female doctoral program; a bisexual, White woman who had to negotiate misperceptions and judgments as she moved through her clinical training; and a dissident student who came from another profession and found herself at odds with most of her professors and supervisors about the role of trauma in the etiology of mental illness. Becoming a Clinical Psychologist is a compelling read for those both inside and outside the field of psychology.
