Research shows that people with a strong sense of belonging are 2.6 times more likely to report good or excellent health.

Echoes of the Criminal Mind - Helping Writers Develop Intriguing Villains By Understanding the Criminal Mind
The Splendor of the Maya
"Explore the collective unconscious from a different angle and perspective than we have seen in the European, Slavic, Celtic, Asian, African, and Middle Eastern cultures," says series editor Michael Escamilla in the foreword to Nancy Swift Furlotti's The Splendor of the Maya: A Journey into the Shadows at the Dawn of Creation. This examination and amplification of K'iche' Maya creation mythology from Mesoamerica fills a gap in Jungian literature by illustrating the contributions to the collective psyche of an important indigenous American culture with which readers may not be familiar. Furlotti's work offers an interesting juxtaposition with the prevailing Western scientific-rationalistic views that have typified psychological inquiry for the past two-and-a-half centuries. Contrasting with the mostly linear orientation of Western scientific and literary traditions, Maya mythology and culture are typified by a cyclical view of time, creation, and experience coupled with an understanding of humanity as in community with--rather than hierarchically superior to--the natural world. Turning to Popol Vuh, or "Dawn of Life," the Maya creation myth that details the repeated creation and destruction of the world, Jungian analyst and scholar Furlotti seeks "to extract the psychological meaning of the myth that may be pertinent to both the collective understanding of myth as well as the individuals' process of what Jung described as individuation." Noting how a culture's myths move hand in hand with its development, Furlotti forges connections with ancient wisdom to reconnect with the foundational metaphors that guide all human experience. The Splendor of the Maya brings fresh perspectives to the collective, often unconscious associations that link the human psyche across time and culture.
The Hypocrisy Trap
How our desire to stamp out hypocrisy is backfiring--and how learning to target our criticisms better can improve our politics, business, and personal relationships. In our increasingly distrusting and polarized nations, accusations of hypocrisy are everywhere. But the strange truth is that our attempts to stamp out hypocrisy often backfire, creating what Michael Hallsworth calls The Hypocrisy Trap. In this groundbreaking book, he shows how our relentless drive to expose inconsistency between words and deeds can actually breed more hypocrisy or, worse, cynicism that corrodes democracy itself. Through engaging stories and original research, Hallsworth shows that not all hypocrisy is equal. While some forms genuinely destroy trust and create harm, others reflect the inevitable compromises of human nature and complex societies. The Hypocrisy Trap offers practical solutions: ways to increase our own consistency, navigate accusations wisely, and change how we judge others' actions. Hallsworth shows vividly that we can improve our politics, businesses, and personal relationships if we rethink hypocrisy--soon.
C.G. Jung - The Basel Years: A Walking Guide
C.G. Jung--The Basel Years: A Walking Guide represents the culmination of a decade of research, exploration, and immersion in the city where Jung spent the formative years of his life. Authored by Swiss analytic psychologist Kathrin Schaeppi, who has called Basel home since the age of 15, this book offers a rare opportunity to trace Jung's footsteps and discover how the city and its surroundings shaped his worldview and informed his groundbreaking theories of the personal and collective unconscious and the individuation process. Drawing on Schaeppi's deep research into the history of Basel and Jung's personal and familial background, as well as her years of experience offering guided tours through the city, the book leads readers on five thoughtfully curated walking tours. Each tour represents a distinct chronological period, revealing themes relevant to Jung's life and intellectual development at the time and uncovering never-before-seen details of his youth. More than just a walking guide, the book provides rich historical context and vivid storytelling, enriched by approximately 150 evocative images that bring Jung's early years to life--even for readers journeying from afar.

The field of media psychology has evolved significantly, paralleling advancements in media technology from print and broadcast to today's digital ecosystems.

As media becomes increasingly immersive and pervasive, ethical challenges such as algorithmic bias, misinformation, and the psychological impacts of AI and virtual reality are addressed. The book equips readers with tools to responsibly navigate and influence the media landscape. This work draws on contributions from scholars and practitioners to serve as a resource and inspiration for students, researchers, educators, and practitioners.

Intersubjectivity in Psychotherapy
The set of relational methods outlined by Integrative Psychotherapy provides a comprehensive guide for intersubjective treatment. Research in child development has stressed the importance of intersubjectivity for the establishment of healthy reciprocal relationships. Several models of psychotherapy have adopted an intersubjective approach to address relational problems. The relational methods of Integrative Psychotherapy put into practice many insights emanating from research regarding the origins of intersubjectivity in child development. The related subset of methods in Integrative Psychotherapy, such as acknowledgment, validation, normalization and presence, become important components in creating an intersubjective format in treatment. Such interventions contribute to building an intersubjective format in individual and group psychotherapy and may prove useful in helping people with early relational failures and the subsequent disruptions to the development of healthy intersubjective aspects of relationships.
