Rosalind At Red Gate
Rosalind at Red Gate follows an individual whose peaceful retreat is interrupted by an urgent summons, leading to an encounter with a family burdened by turmoil. As obligations arise, past conflicts surface, and long-standing tensions shape the course of interactions. A sense of duty compels involvement in the affairs of strangers, gradually revealing concealed motives and hidden dangers. Familial discord creates uncertainty, with unresolved grievances dictating present actions. The presence of outsiders complicates the already delicate balance between trust and deception. Bonds form under pressure, yet mistrust lingers beneath even the most heartfelt exchanges. Mystery deepens as opposing forces seek control, while secrets tied to the past influence unfolding events. Emotional struggles manifest in unexpected ways, as affection and responsibility collide. The landscape serves as more than a backdrop, reflecting the shifting moods of those within it. Through moments of levity and tension, the weight of obligations grows heavier, testing resilience. Unforeseen developments alter perceptions, emphasizing the fragility of security. The unfolding circumstances reveal how personal history shapes identity, and how choices determine one's place within a larger narrative.
Lacan in Italy
This book provides the first analysis of the reception and development of Lacanian psychoanalysis in Italy, offering a comprehensive account of the relevance and contributions of Italian Lacanians. It examines Italian Lacanianism through its distinctive engagement with clinical practice, sociopolitical analysis, and aesthetics, highlighting the work of influential figures such as Sergio Benvenuto and Massimo Recalcati. Lacan in Italy proposes a nuanced understanding of how Italian Lacanians reinterpret Lacan's legacy, advancing an affirmative approach to the notion of the real - often conceptualised in negative terms as traumatic, impossible, unrepresentable, and unsymbolisable - by emphasising its generative, life-affirming potential. The book also fosters dialogue with Lacanian receptions across different countries and languages.

The Later Life
The Later Life explores a man as he grapples with the discontent and dissatisfaction in his life as he faces the pressures of societal expectations and the monotony of family dynamics. Struggling to find meaning in his existence, he is caught between a longing for change and the stability of his routine. The narrative highlights the contrast between the lighter, everyday interactions within his family and the deeper, more unspoken tensions that arise from unfulfilled desires. As family members navigate their roles, the protagonist contemplates the futility of societal norms and yearns for something more, emphasizing the complexity of human emotion. The story examines the push and pull of familial obligations against personal desires and the quest for individuality. Underneath the surface of routine interactions lies a profound sense of dissatisfaction, challenging the balance between duty and personal fulfillment. As relationships evolve, the protagonist is forced to confront the disconnect between his own inner desires and the reality of his structured life, ultimately portraying a man s struggle to find purpose and happiness within the confines of his existence.
Morality and the Gods
The relationship between religion and morality has been a steadfast topic of inquiry since the dawn of the social sciences. This Element probes how the social sciences have addressed this relationship by detailing how theory and method have evolved over the past few generations. Sections 1 and 2 examine the historical roots of cross-cultural inquiry and Section 3 addresses the empirical tools developed to address cross-cultural patterns statistically. Sections 4-6 address how the contemporary evolutionary social sciences have been addressing the role religious cognition, behaviour, and beliefs play on moral conduct. By critically examining the tools and theories specifically developed to answer questions about the evolution of morality, society, and the gods, this Element shows that much of our current knowledge about this relationship has been significantly shaped by our cultural history as a field. It argues that the relationship between religion and morality is, despite considerable diversity in form, quite common around the world.

Navigating Life with ADHD
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurobiological disorder that affects millions of people of all ages worldwide and has effects that ripple through society. Navigating Life with ADHD is a guidebook to help adults with ADHD, parents of children with ADHD, and their caregivers and loved ones thrive. The understanding of ADHD has been evolving: Once seen as a problem of "bad kids with bad parents," today people of all ages and from all walks of life are diagnosed with ADHD. With effective treatment, people with ADHD can have amazing career trajectories and make highly original and valuable contributions to society. But what does it mean to have ADHD? The recognition of ADHD has been increasing steadily, and the American Academy of Neurology is proud to shed light on this topic and bring greater understanding to all involved. Readers will learn about the effects of ADHD on the lives of children and adults with the disorder and how to navigate these effects with loved ones and caregivers. The authors discuss how best to manage the many challenges associated with ADHD holistically: not simply focusing on ADHD but also its relationship to anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, and other commonly co-occurring conditions. Medication and non-medication treatments are covered in an easy-to-understand way. With the liberal use of patient vignettes throughout, readers will relate and feel comfortable understanding what ADHD is -- and isn't-- and how to maximise success for the ADHDer in their life or for themselves if they themselves have ADHD.
Values in Psychiatry
This fascinating book brings together a multidisciplinary team of authors from a variety of backgrounds and lived experience who offer insight into the historical roots and current reasons for the hybrid natural and social scientific conceptual platform of psychiatry.

First-Time Parenting Journeys
All too often heterosexual first-time parents are treated as the unmarked norm within research on reproduction. First-Time Parenting Journeys maps out what it means to be situated within the norm, while providing a critical account of how social norms about parenthood shape, regulate, and potentially delimit experiences of new parenthood for heterosexual couples. Based on qualitative longitudinal research, this book tells the story of journeys to parenthood, highlighting the impact of gender norms, moral claims, emotion work, and generativity. While drawing on Australian data, the critical conceptual framework has broader applicability across Western contexts in terms of understanding normative family structures and parenting practices. By focusing on expectations about, and the reality of, new parenthood, it explicates the ways in which institutionalised norms about parenthood are internalised and explores what this can tell us about the broader contours of parenthood discourses.

The Silent Mill
The silent mill explores how emotional inheritance shapes personal identity through silence, trauma, and fractured memory. Set against the backdrop of a deteriorating rural structure, the mill itself reflects the decay of familial legacy and the weight of unspoken histories. It serves as a physical and emotional anchor, marking the erosion of innocence and the presence of unresolved pain passed between generations. Central to the work is the exploration of emotional distance within close bonds, where communication is hindered by past violence and the limitations of language. The silence of one family member becomes emblematic of a broader inability to reconcile with the past, suggesting that absence of speech is both a wound and a form of endurance. The story examines how deep emotional undercurrents unsettle even the most seemingly secure relationships, with intimacy disrupted by internal conflict and suppressed memories. Domestic life appears fragile, continually tested by buried resentment and the complexities of affection entangled with guilt. Moments of quiet contemplation reveal the characters struggles with longing, responsibility, and the burden of shared sorrow, creating an atmosphere charged with introspection rather than external action.
Cognition and Motivation
This collection examines the many internal and external factors affecting cognitive processes. Editor Shulamith Kreitler brings together a wide range of international contributors to produce an outstanding assessment of recent research in the field. These contributions go beyond the standard approach of examining the effects of motivation and emotion to consider the contextual factors that may influence cognition. These broad and varied factors include personality, genetics, mental health, biological evolution, culture, and social context. By contextualizing cognition, this volume draws out the practical applications of theoretical cognitive research while bringing separate areas of scholarship into meaningful dialogue.
The Making of a Dialogical Theory
Creating a stimulating social theory with long-lasting influence for generations of scholars is driven by multiple interacting factors. The fortune of a theory is determined not only by the author's creative mind but also by the ways in which principal concepts are understood and interpreted. The proper understanding of a social theory requires a good grasp of major historical, political, and cultural challenges that contribute to its making. Considering these issues, Markov獺 explores Serge Moscovici's theory of social representations and communication as a case study in the making of a dialogical social theory. She analyses both the undeveloped features and the forward-moving, inspirational highlights of the theory and presents them as a resource for linking issues and problems from diverse domains and disciplines. This dialogical approach has the potential to advance the dyad Self-Other as an irreducible intellectual, ethical, and aesthetic unit in epistemologies of the human and social sciences.
How We Grow Up
"This is essential reading for parents." -- Dr. Vivek Murthy, former U.S. Surgeon GeneralGreatly expanding his award-winning New York Times series on the contemporary teen mental health crisis, Pulitzer Prize-winning science reporter Matt Richtel delivers a groundbreaking investigation into the science of adolescence, the pivotal life stage undergoing profound--and often confounding--transformation.One of The New Yorker's Best Books of 2025The transition from childhood to adulthood is a natural, evolution-honed cycle that now faces radical change and challenge. The adolescent brain, sculpted for this transition over eons of evolution, confronts a modern world that creates so much social pressure as to regularly exceed the capacities of the evolving mind. The problem in this compelling parenting book comes as a bombardment of screen-based information pelts the brain just as adolescence is undergoing a second key change: puberty is hitting earlier. The result is a neurological mismatch between an ultra-potent environment and a still-maturing brain that can lead to anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges. It is a crisis that is part of modern life but can only be truly grasped through a broad, grounded lens of the biology of adolescence itself. Through this lens, Richtel shows us how adolescents can understand themselves, and parents and educators can better help.For decades, this transition to adulthood has been defined by hormonal shifts that trigger the onset of puberty. But Richtel takes us where science now understands so much of the action is: the brain. A growing body of research that looks for the first time into budding adult neurobiology explains with untold clarity the emergence of the "social brain," a craving for peer connection, and how the behaviors that follow pave the way for economic and social survival. This period of child development necessarily involves testing--as the adolescent brain is programmed from birth to take risks and explore themselves and their environment--so that they may be able to thrive as they leave the insulated care of childhood.Richtel, diving deeply into new research and gripping personal stories, offers accessible, scientifically grounded answers to the most pressing questions about generational change. What explains adolescent behaviors, risk-taking, reward-seeking, and the ongoing mental health crisis? How does adolescence shape the future of the species? What is the nature of adolescence itself?Grounded in the latest science and moving personal stories, How We Grow Up LP offers a vital toolkit for parents, educators, and teens themselves.The Adolescent Brain: A clear explanation of the "neurological mismatch"--why a brain sculpted for a different world struggles with today's social pressures and screen-based information overload.Early Puberty: Understand the science behind why puberty is hitting earlier and how this profound shift impacts the teen mental health crisis, including rising rates of anxiety and depression.Child Development: Learn how the "social brain" emerges, what drives adolescent risk-taking, and why peer connection becomes the most powerful force in a teen's life.Science-Based Parenting: Discover accessible, scientifically-grounded answers to help your teen navigate this pivotal life stage and build resilience for the future.

Why We Suffer and How We Heal
A psychiatrist who has dedicated her life to treating global survivors of unspeakable horrors shares the three keys to resilience that we can use to weather stress, loss, and trauma in our own lives. "This book is a gift of empathy and lived wisdom--rare, real, and deeply human."--Dr. Koen Sevenants, former global lead for Mental Health and Psychosocial Support in Emergencies for UNICEF's Child Protection Area of Responsibility In her debut book, Dr. Suzan Song draws from patient stories, humanitarian research, and her own life to help readers release their unrealistic longing for stability and open them up to a new, healthier mindset. As uncomfortable as it is, instability, Dr. Song suggests, is what ultimately invites us into transformation. From her clinical practice in the United States to her global work over two decades with survivors of human rights violations, Dr. Song has uncovered three keys to resilience: Narrative, Ritual, and Purpose. Western therapy teaches that we heal by examining our influences, inner conflicts, and goals. This is vital work, but insight alone does not lead to lasting change. Song has found that rituals, whether private or community-based, create the bridge from insight to change. She brought this observation back to her clinical work along with the third potent source of healing: Purpose. Whatever you're going through, these three tools can help you not only weather the winters of life but thrive through them. Profoundly insightful and beautifully written, Why We Suffer and How We Heal offers a groundbreaking new path to deep healing and finally feeling alive again.

A Clinical and Forensic Guide to Cults and Persuasive Leadership
Cults have captivated public imagination, gained visibility in the media, and become a popular topic of discourse. While anecdotal and journalistic accounts offer compelling insights, systematic study on the structure, psychological predispositions, and relevance to clinical and legal settings are comparatively scarce. This disparity highlights a crucial need for rigorous scholarly inquiry, moving beyond media portrayals to uncover the foundational mechanisms that sustain and shape these enigmatic groups. Authored by experts in forensic psychiatry and psychology, this book consolidates the extant literature in reviewing the theoretical, sociocultural, clinical, and forensic issues surrounding cultist groups. This text applies evidence-based study to identify group subtypes and explore mediators and moderators that may be relevant in clinical and legal contexts. Authors address issues as they relate to a variety of subpopulations, comorbid mental disorders, mind-altering substances, treatment, and the and legal implications inherent to cults and persuasive leadership. This book may be especially pertinent to mental health professionals and those working in the criminal justice system.
