Mental Health Issues and the University Student

college is becoming an aspiration for more and more of america’s youth. Nearly half of american 18- to 24-year-olds are enrolled in college at least part-time. With the rise of information technology and an increasingly global economy, higher education is also becoming more of a necessity for success. although many of us look back fondly on our “bright college years,” for grow- ing number…

CHILDREN’S IMAGINATIVE PLAY

You are hereby invited to a very special journey, a journey to the wonderful world of children’s make-believe. Such a journey does not require traveling far away. In fact, the make-believe world is very near. It is in the nursery room of our children, in their school, in our backyard, on our street. And yet, its gates are not widely open for everybody. For many adults, make-believe play is li…

The Reality of Recovery in Personality Disorder

This book tells of a journey taken by a group of service users who had attracted a diagnosis of personality disorder, a journey that spans 20 years. It is an account that aspires to show the inner world of personality disorder from the perspective of service users. It aims to examine the process of recovery for those with this diagnosis and it suggests evidence-based ways forward for support …

Personality Development in Adolescence

This book contains primarily papers presented at the seminar held at the inauguration of the doctoral program in psychology in May 1994, at the University of Tromsø, which is the youngest university in Norway and the northernmost university in the world (if one discounts the university branch on Svalbard at 88 degrees north). In fact, the University of Tromsø is situated on a coastal island i…

LACAN AND ADDICTION

In 2006, Lacanians from North America, South America, and Europe, gathered in Georgia, at the University of West Georgia and at Emory University for the seventh annual conference of the Affiliated Psycho- analytic Workgroups (APW) which was devoted to the topic of addictions as approached from a Lacanian psychoanalytic orientation. The conference participants explored the complexity of the prob…

EXERCISE FOR MOOD AND ANXIETY

There are many good reasons to reach for this book. If you have been plagued by moodiness, stress, anxiety, or depression, this is the book for you. If you are looking for a more action-based approach to mood management than that afforded by medications or psychotherapy, this is the book to read. If you have tried to exercise regularly and have failed, then this is your book. Why? Because this …

The Study of Violent Crime

As the plan to write this book began to develop, a few central points became immediately apparent. First, the concept of violence represents a vast collection of behaviors and cognitions within a theoretical domain whose parameters are extremely ambiguous. Of course, there are distinctions between the types of violence and their nature, which can be clearly articulated, but the causal and corre…

A Life Course Approach to Mental Disorders

A life course approach to mental disorders is concerned with the interplay of social and biological factors in the production and consequences of mental illness over the life span—from the prenatal period to death and across generations. As described by Drs Kuh and Ben-Shlomo in the Preface, the life course approach to mental disorders draws on two foundations: the psychological life span per…

Handbook of Advances in Culture and Psychology

Originally the concept of culture was proposed only for humans, stressing the importance of social influences on its dynamics and development. Although there is no question that all human groups have different diverse, complex, and rich cultures, a debate begun in the early 1950s raised the issue of animal culture and what it may mean for the uniqueness of human culture. This chapter argues tha…

FINDING THE BODY IN THE MIND

Freud is not dead. Far from it. In the year of the 150th anniversary of his birth we can truly say that his ideas are undergoing a renaissance. Freud is everywhere. And especially in neuroscience, we are taking a new look at his work and concluding that it is “still the most coherent and intellectually satisfying view of the mind” (Kandel, 1998) that we have. (Mark Solms, 2006, last page) …

PSYCHOLOGY AND THE CONDUCT OF EVERYDAY LIFE

Psychology and the Conduct of Everyday Life moves psychological theory and research practice out of the laboratory and into the everyday world. Drawing on recent developments across the social and human sciences, it examines how people live as active subjects within the contexts of their everyday lives, using this as an analytical basis for understanding the dilemmas and contradictions people f…

MIND AS MACHINE

This is a historical essay, not an encyclopedia: it expresses one person’s view of cognitive science as a whole. It’s driven by my conviction that cognitive science today—and, for that matter, tomorrow—can’t be properly understood without a historical perspective. In that sense, then, my account describes the field as it is now. It does this in a second sense too, for it features va…

The Verbal Behavior Approach

I was a registered nurse with more than a decade of experience, but when my physician husband first mentioned the possibility that my then 21-month-old son Lucas might have autism, I was as bewildered and angry as any parent. To be honest, I had very little experience with autism and it simply never crossed my mind that my first-born was anything less than perfect. So what made my husband thi…

Autism Service Delivery

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2014), approximately one in six children in the USA has a developmental disability with 1 in 68 diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. The societal costs for caring for children with autism are estimated at over $61 billion per year in the USA (Buescher et al. 2014), suggesting a need for high-quality research on assessment and …

UNUSUAL PRODUCTIONS IN PHONOLOGY

The universalist view of acquisition, which espouses the idea that children’s acquisition of phonology is guided by universal principles, has been the dominant position for decades. However, a growing body of literature during the last two decades on children’s early use of words in various languages has brought into focus the relationship between developmental patterns and language-specifi…

Children’s understanding of death

At the time of my last period of fieldwork in Madagascar,1 Brika was seventeen. I had invited him to my house to participate in the study I was conducting about death and the ancestors (cf. Harris, Chapter 2). As with all other participants, I introduced Brika to the task by telling him that I was going to narrate a short story followed by several questions. I reassured him that these questions…

Enhancing Sexuality A PROBLEM-SOLVING APPROACH TO TREATING DYSFUNCTION

One of the most difficult problems confronting patients with various disorders and diseases is finding the best help available. Everyone is aware of friends or family who have sought treatment from a seemingly reputable practitioner, only to find out later from another doctor that the original diagnosis was wrong or the treatments recommended were inappropriate or perhaps even harmful.

Coping With the Seasons

Stunning developments in healthcare have taken place over the last several years, but many of our widely accepted interventions and strate- gies in mental health and behavioral medicine have been brought into question by research evidence as not only lacking benefit, but perhaps, inducing harm
