Book Synopsis The Pathological Manifestations of Contemporary Societies by : Laurent Sueur
Download or read book The Pathological Manifestations of Contemporary Societies written by Laurent Sueur and published by Laurent Sueur. This book was released on 2024-05-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Societies, by their very nature, are dysfunctional because they are formed by individuals who, most of the time, have difficulty perceiving reality. If 30% of people have personalities that are organized at the psychotic level, 50% of people are immature, which determines the characteristics of our unbalanced societies. Hence, this book aims to identify this problem so that humanity may be enlightened and may establish viable social organizations by means of individual consciousness. This study gathers information about all the manifestations of immaturity and analyses the social interactions. It starts with some immature intellectuals' role in preventing social awareness from increasing. Writers and film directors are more intelligent, but what they show is not taken seriously; consequently, individuals keep on behaving in a pathological way. Without the help of any psychological treatment, immature men and women intend to get together and form societies, but they fail. Sometimes their desire for murder is so uncontrollable and their level of awareness so low that they are compelled to kill and to increase drastically social dysfunctionalities such as severe racism, Islamic terrorism and murder. When there is an economic crisis, human organizations can be so harmed that the psychopathic part of society takes the lead and turns nations into barbaric entities (World War II).

Download or read book The Pathological Manifestations of Contemporary Societies written by LAURENT PAUL. SUEUR and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Societies are dysfunctional by nature because they are formed by individuals who have, most of the time, a poor perception of reality. If 30% of people are psychotic structures, 50% are anaclitic organisations (immature people), which gives the characteristics to our unbalanced societies. Hence, this book aims at identifying the problem so that humanity may, at last, learn from itself and create acceptable social organisations through individual consciousness. This study gathers information about all the manifestations of immaturity and places them in a social perspective. It starts with the responsibilities of immature intellectuals who maintain societies in their state of unconsciousness. Writers and film directors are more aware but what they show is not taken seriously; consequently, individuals keep on behaving a pathological way. Without the help of any psychological treatment, immature men and women intend to get together and form societies but they fail. Sometimes, their death drives are so uncontrollable, and their level of consciousness so low, that they are compelled to kill and increase drastically the social dysfunctionalities such as severe racism, Islamic terrorism and manslaughters. When the economy is in crisis, human organisations can be so wounded that the psychopathic part of society takes the lead and puts nations into a state of pure barbarity (World War II).
Book Synopsis The Social Pathologies of Contemporary Civilization by : Dr Anders Petersen
Download or read book The Social Pathologies of Contemporary Civilization written by Dr Anders Petersen and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-03-28 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Social Pathologies of Contemporary Civilization explores the nature of contemporary malaises, diseases, illnesses and psychosomatic syndromes, examining the manner in which they are related to cultural pathologies of the social body. Multi-disciplinary in approach, the book is concerned with questions of how these conditions are not only manifest at the level of individual patients' bodies, but also how the social 'bodies politic' are related to the hegemony of reductive biomedical and individual-psychologistic perspectives. Rejecting a reductive, biomedical and individualistic diagnosis of contemporary problems of health and well-being, The Social Pathologies of Contemporary Civilization contends that many such problems are to be understood in the light of radical changes in social structures and institutions, extending to deep crises in our civilization as a whole. Rather than considering such conditions in isolation - both from one another and from broader contexts - this book argues that health and well-being are not just located at the level of the individual body, the integral human person, or even collective social bodies; rather, they encompass the health of humanity as a whole and our relationship with Nature. A ground-breaking analysis of social malaise and the health of civilization, this book will be of interest to scholars of sociology, social theory, social psychology, philosophy and anthropology.

Download or read book Communities in Action written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

This book was released on 2019-11-22 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies on human thinking have focused on how humans solve a problem and have discussed how human thinking can be rational. A juxtaposition between psychology and sociology allows for a unique perspective of the influence on human thought and morality on society. Adapting Human Thinking and Moral Reasoning in Contemporary Society is an in-depth critical resource that provides comprehensive research on thinking and morality and its influence on societal norms as well as how people adapt themselves to the novel circumstances and phenomena that characterize the contemporary world, including low birthrate, the reduction of violence, and globalization. Furthermore, cultural differences are considered with research targeted towards problems specific to a culture. Featuring a wide range of topics such as logic education, cognition, and knowledge management systems, this book is ideal for academicians, sociologists, researchers, social scientists, psychologists, and students.
Book Synopsis Body Image and Identity in Contemporary Societies by : Ekaterina Sukhanova
Download or read book Body Image and Identity in Contemporary Societies written by Ekaterina Sukhanova and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-03-24 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popular interest in body image issues has grown dramatically in recent years, due to an emphasis on individual responsibility and self-determination in contemporary society as well as the seemingly limitless capacities of modern medicine; however body image as a separate field of academic inquiry is still relatively young. The contributors of Body Image and Identity in Contemporary Societies explore the complex social, political and aesthetic interconnections between body image and identity. It is an in-depth study that allows for new perspectives in the analysis of contemporary visual art and literature but also reflects on how these social constructs inform clinical treatment. Sukhanova and Thomashoff bring together contributions from psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, psychiatrists and scholars in the fields of the social sciences and the humanities to explore representations of the body in literature and the arts across different times and cultures. The chapters analyse the social construction of the 'ideal' body in terms of beauty, gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class and disability, from a broadly psychoanalytic perspective, and traces the mechanisms which define the role of the physical appearance in the formation of identity and the assumption of social roles. Body Image and Identity in Contemporary Societies' unique interdisciplinary outlook aims to bridge the current gap between clinical observations and research in semiotic theory. It will be of interest to psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, art therapists, art theorists, academics in the humanities and social sciences, and those interested in an interdisciplinary approach to the issues of body image and identity. Ekaterina Sukhanova is University Director of Academic Program Review at the City University of New York USA. She serves as Scientific Secretary of the Section for Art and Psychiatry and the Section of Art and Psychiatry of the World Psychiatric Association. She is also engaged in interdisciplinary research on cultural constructs of mental health and illness and curates exhibits of art brut as a vehicle for fighting stigma. Hans-Otto Thomashoff was born in Germany and lives in Vienna. He is a psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, art historian and author of fiction and non-fiction books. He has been curator of several art exhibitions highlighting the connection between the psyche and art as well as president of the section of Art and Psychiatry of the World Psychiatric Association and advisory committee member of the Sigmund Freud Foundation, Vienna.
