Psychological Science
This book examines questions of experimental design, in social science principally concerning what happens if shortcuts are allowed in the design, analysis, and interpretation of psychological research. The author argues that shortcuts lead to experimental results that are of low power and lack the precision that should be afforded experimental work. Consequently, it should not be surprising that psychological science has difficulty replicating its findings. A more specialized focus is the lack of success of self-esteem training techniques despite their widespread usage. The failure of self-esteem training is contrasted with the success of work that involves the use of standardized testing procedures and scores, such as IQ. From this perspective, while self-esteem and IQ testing have been each proposed as Hole Grails, meaning that they constitute comprehensive influences on many aspects of behavior, only IQ can function in this manner. It is also argued that some areas of social science, particularly unconscious bias, have not been subjected to sufficient critical scrutiny, and therefore are associated with rather weak empirical profiles that do not justify the popularity of the procedures. Throughout the book, the work habits of modern scientists are contrasted with those of one of science's most successful practitioners, Charles Darwin, and to a lesser extent, Sigmund Freud. Contrasts between the historically-validated work of Darwin on the one hand, and modern psychological science, suggest avenues of methodological improvement in the practice of modern psychological science.

The Power of Living in Choice
The EMCS Living In Choice Chart was the key to my success as a mental health practitioner. Over 20 years ago, I realized my clients were missing a crucial piece of the puzzle-their thoughts. Many struggled with their emotions, unaware that their thoughts were the root cause of their experiences. That's when I developed the chart, a powerful visual representation of the Law of Attraction and the Science of Manifestation. But this wasn't just another chart. It was a transformative tool that helped people grasp the profound impact their thoughts have on their reality.By using this chart, clients gained the ability to choose what they wanted to manifest in their lives. In my book, The Power of Living in Choice, I share this chart and the step-by-step manifestation process that empowers readers to take control of their thoughts, break free from limiting beliefs, and create the life they desire. This book is a reminder that we all have the power to shape our reality, but we must first recognize and shift the beliefs that are holding us back. Only then can we live in true choice and manifest the life of our dreams.

Stress, Depression and Alcohol Dependence among migrant workers
This book delves into the intricate mental health and substance use issues faced by migrant workers in Tamil Nadu, India. Through a pilot study involving 32 male workers from North India employed in a local restaurant, the book provides a comprehensive analysis of their psychological and emotional well-being. The study reveals that these migrant workers experience significant stress and depression, largely driven by factors such as social and cultural adjustment challenges, financial instability, and separation from their families.The book highlights a troubling trend: approximately 44% of the participants exhibited moderate alcohol dependence, illustrating a clear link between elevated levels of stress and depression and increased alcohol consumption. It sheds light on how alcohol serves as a coping mechanism for the mental strain these workers endure. Furthermore, the book discusses barriers to accessing mental health support, such as language and cultural differences, which exacerbate these issues.By providing detailed insights into the migrant workers' experiences, the book underscores the urgent need for culturally sensitive, tailored interventions to improve their mental well.
Mindfulness to prevent burnout
The mindfulness program implemented by Jeniffer Patricia Rodr穩guez Castro aims to prevent and combat burnout syndrome in adults of emerging age. It is based on intrapersonal and contemporary art techniques to promote mindfulness and reduce work stress. Through activities such as meditation, body scan and dialogues, it seeks to improve the emotional well-being and personal fulfillment of the participants. Preliminary results show a decrease in the levels of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, as well as an increase in personal fulfillment. This holistic and creative approach seeks to improve the quality of work life and promote mental health in the workplace.
Conceptions of psychoactive substance addiction treatment
This study aimed to understand the theoretical basis present in the discourse of 17 mental health professionals who work in 3 models of care for drug addicts. The data was collected using a questionnaire and classified into 3 categories of analysis according to the theoretical/epistemological framework of each approach and institution: the biomedical model (Clinic), the sociocultural model (Psychosocial Care Center) and the psychosocial model (Therapeutic Communities). It was concluded that the participating professionals do not have a specific definition of the concepts of "dependent" and "treatment" of chemical dependency. It was also concluded that the professionals' approaches can sometimes be contradictory to the methodologies and ideologies of the institutions analyzed.

Psychobiography
Biographies are at their best when they convey that the subject is a three-dimensional human being who possesses an inner life. Psychobiography: In Search of the Inner Life offers tools for using psychological approaches when writing biography.. A leader in the field, James William Anderson, analyzes the effective use of psychology and what can go wrong, such as treating the biographical subject reductively, and failing to account for both historical and cultural context. Anderson recommends using psychology to open up, not close down; to provide new questions, not easy answers; to complicate, not simplify. His lively inquiry into the art of biography--with its vignettes about people such as Oprah Winfrey, Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, Henry James, Simone de Beauvoir, Edith Wharton, and Ana簿s Nin--will appeal to all readers who are curious about the lives of fascinating personages.

(Re)inventing Lives
The aim of this book is to provide new reflections on the relationship between art, psychoanalysis and madness, moving them from the field of interpretation and the drive, to the field of relationship, thinking about the space for creation and invention of new ways for 'so-called mad' subjects to live sustained in/by their history in the face of the encounter with art.

The aim of this book is to study the universe of human passions and the articulation of this endeavour with the critique of rationality systematically conducted by Psychoanalysis and Nietzsche, and thus elaborate an interlocution between the fields of Psychoanalysis and Philosophy. This is a study that involves Desire and Rationality. The functioning of the human psyche and its processes - emotional or rational, due to their peculiarity and diversity, are sources of debate and study and express, in general, the complex relationship between subjects. The aim is to identify and develop the main concepts constructed and founded by Psychoanalysis and Nietzsche, to understand the critique of metaphysics and the appeal to the Dionysian as the foundation of the subject of the unconscious and in the field of Psychoanalysis, to address themes such as drive, anguish, desire, id, self, superego, libido, consciousness and others that, throughout the development of the main theme, were necessary to situate the relationship between the areas.

The Pribram-Bohm Holoflux Theory of Consciousness
The Pribram-Bohm holoflux is a theory of human and non-human consciousness that emerges from evidence drawn from two sources: (1) the holonomic theories of the American mind/brain scientist Karl Pribram, and (2) the cosmological interpretation of quantum theory developed by the American nuclear physicist David Bohm. From their work emerges the amazing holoflux theory, a term proposed by Karl Pribram to express the flow characterized by David Bohm as "holomovement," a two-way flow of awareness between our explicate order of time and space (spacetime to physicists) and seven additional dimensions beyond spacetime that recent particle physics experiments have shown must exist to support the experimental data. These additional dimensions are known by physicists as string theory. Extending their theories, the holoflux theory of consciousness views reality as one energy, cycling mathematically, lens-like, in a process of transformation manifesting in three modes: (1) electromagnetic energy in space-time, (2) holoflux energy in a transcendent order, and (3) vibrating isospheres at the boundary gap separating the implicate from the explicate orders.

Satisfaction of Psychiatric Patients in the SRT
The city of Barbacena, Minas Gerais, has a unique history in the Brazilian anti-asylum struggle. Since the beginning of the 20th century, seven large psychiatric hospitals have been set up in this municipality. The occurrence of more than 60,000 deaths due to negligence, mistreatment and violence in psychiatric hospital wards produced a strong social stigma. In this sense, the need to respond adequately to the hospital-centred model emerged. At the same time as the decline of the psychiatric asylum model, community mental health services were developed. The satisfaction of psychiatric patients is one of the best indicators of the quality of mental health services. This study evaluates the satisfaction of psychiatric patients who use the Therapeutic Residential Service (TRS) in the city of Barbacena, Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Our Fictional Minds
In Our Fictional Minds, David C. Fisher, Ph.D. challenges often-cherished convictions about ourselves and the world around us. By drawing on psychology, physics, neuroscience, as well as Western and Buddhist philosophies, he shows how common views of reality, consciousness, and the mind both serve and limit us. This revolutionary book helps readers: Identify mental shortcuts that limit our openness to new or opposing ideas. Become more comfortable with ambiguity, encouraging creativity and flexibility.See the nature and origins of their conceptions of "self" through a striking case example of hypnosis. Consider viewpoints challenging the appearance of free will. Develop flexible thinking to prevent being manipulated.Reimagine introspection and consciousness.Develop fluid and interconnected concepts of the self, enhancing self-acceptance, resilience, and empathy.Conceive reality itself from a fresh perspective, bringing a sense of interconnectedness and inner peace. Embracing such new approaches usually means confronting, and ultimately discarding, deeply held convictions about ourselves and reality. Those who can meet these challenges embark on an enlightening journey of self-discovery. By bringing this new thinking to the forefront, readers will see not only themselves as part of something vast and extraordinary, but better understand the potential in us all for transformation.
Psychoanalysis and Discourse Analysis
This work analyses the effects of meaning contained in the statements of subjects from Maranh瓊o, immigrants to Goi獺s, students at a municipal school in Goi璽nia, in the Youth and Adult Education modality. The aim of this study is to seek the contributions of Discourse Analysis (DA) and Psychoanalysis, verifying the critical addition of these theories, in order to weave an analysis of the immigrant subject in Goi獺s. To this end, the work is divided into two chapters: the first, of a theoretical nature, studies the concept of the subject in DA and Psychoanalysis; the second, in turn, presents the methodology and analyses of the statements from Maranh瓊o collected in the field, at school. Thus, the analysis of the immigrant subject does not result in a total clarification of immigration or a 'typical' understanding of Maranh瓊o, but rather exposes the slippage of signifiers, which makes it impossible to completely erase reminiscences, like a palimpsest.
Remarriage
Family life has always been a delicate and complex issue, which translates into the construction of each member's identity in the context of the group's influences. When it comes to remarried families, the complexity becomes even greater, with the insecurities brought on by the ruptures and threats of discontinuity in emotional ties. Due to their lack of autonomy and the stage of development they are at, children need to adapt to siblings, stepfathers and stepmothers coming and going, without feeling threatened with being excluded or having to exclude other family members.

The Flight of events
In this book, German Arce Ross has chosen to focus on the psychological processes that occur prior to the act of suicide, rather than on the act itself. We can detect these processes in a subject during the period between the decision to commit suicide and the passage to the act.In the consideration of certain moments preceding a suicidal or criminal act, in the case of critical episodes that are non-delusional, non-hallucinated and non-acted but sometimes assimilated to psychotic or twilight moments - where we locate in particular a discontinuity or a radical rupture, albeit momentary, with the Other -, we can observe that there are things, facts, or events, that happen to the subject without any form of control over them whatsoever.In these uncontrolled intersubjective events, what the subject suffers from is a tendency to undergo the acts that he himself makes others perform. During this flight of events, it is not entirely true that the subject flees the events of his life; it is rather the events that flee.

The Abyss of the Self
"The Abyss of the self. How to survive deepest Nihilism?"(Psychological Philosophical Self-Help Depression Self-Esteem) This is a book out of all literary categories, of an essay nature, written in the first person, autobiographical. It combines metaphysics, religion, esotericism, philosophy, science and psychology. The common denominator is the individual, the human being, and how it relates to the whole. It can be hard for those whose connection is positive, clear and defined. But it becomes an atypical survival manual for those who are lost, those who have not found themselves at all, or for those who need an explanation and meaning to their lives that has not achieved any creed, thought, or hope... "Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We are the middle children of the history man, no purpose or place, we have no Great war, no Great depression, our great war is a spiritual war, our great depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we are very, very pissed off"-Tyler Durden, ("Fight Club" film.)

Belief in a Just World. A systematic review
Bachelor Thesis from the year 2022 in the subject Psychology - Miscellaneous, grade: 2,7, University of Hagen (Lehrgebiet Community Psychology), course: Community Psychology, language: English, abstract: Just World Belief (JWB) is a cognitive belief of people that assumes that actions have morally just and appropriate consequences for the actor. This theory has been widely researched in the literature, with a focus on negative social effects and positive psychological effects. In particular, the subjective experience of justice seems to be relevant, since experienced in-justice can have devastating consequences on an individual level (depression, aggression, et cetera) as well as on a group or societal level (conflicts, protests, et cetera). Accordingly, JWB theory is an interesting approach to the study and explanation of social behaviour in groups and societies. Presented here is a systematic literature review of current studies on the causes and effects of JWB in order to identify the current state of scientific knowledge and relevant trends, and to uncover potential interesting avenues of inquiry for the future.

What has become of human sexuality in the West?This book is far more than a discussion of the pornographic phenomenon; it is a window into the volcanic and transformative power of sex.Using tools such as creativity, autobiography and fiction embedded in mythic and magical paths to sexual fulfilment, Drew Wynn wishes nothing more than to help in the establishment of a "Tantra for the West", and draws on the tradition of alchemy in this quest. He believes the pornographic phenomenon represents more than a reactive and degenerative view of sexuality and is in danger of reinforcing the opinion of the shrinking moral minority. He traces seeds of renewal and initiation that may guide us into a more enlightened perspective for our sexual and cultural health.Using specific examples drawn from a pornographic movie, through deep psychotherapy Drew Wynn analyses how pornography can inform and guide one to sexual enlightenment.Warning! This book contains material of a sexually-explicit nature. Some readers may find this offensive.
Platonically Erotic
Platonically Erotic presents an autoethnographic, interdisciplinary exploration of erotic-embodied asexuality. It weaves together narratives from individuals across the asexual and aromantic spectrum, situating their experiences within the contexts of mindful relationships and somatic awareness. The book uniquely combines an autoethnography of embodied, sensory research with an autoethnography of erotic-embodied aromantic asexuality to offer a nuanced understanding of asexuality beyond traditional orientations.By offering sensorial descriptions of nonsexual eros, the book enriches the discourse on the expanded erotic. It emphasizes the importance of the nonsexual libido, arguing that the pervasive sexualization of eros limits human flourishing. It challenges assumptions that eros and intimacy must be contingent on sex and that romance is synonymous with love.Employing dynamic combinations of theoretical and empirical analysis, the book utilizes a layered format that includes poetic prose, poetry, sociological fiction, and dramaturgical texts. This approach aims to provide an experiential and engaging reading experience, encouraging individual interpretation. This engaging and thought-provoking account will appeal to both scholars seeking new theoretical insights and general readers interested in personal narratives of nonsexual intimacy and love.This work furthers the efforts of asexuality scholars to decenter sexuality from its predominant role in modern Western identities from an embodied, interpretive interactionist, post-human, and post-sexual perspective. The book introduces the concept of 'platonically erotic' as a relational identity independent of sexuality and thus addresses the 'asexual paradox' of asexuality being defined as a sexual orientation despite its nonsexual nature. By reframing asexuality not as a lack but as a rich and diverse way of being, the book challenges prevailing narratives and paves the way for a more inclusive understanding of human sexuality and desire.While acknowledging the role of AVEN (Asexuality Visibility and Education Network) in validating asexuality, the book interrogates the assumption that asexuality is an innate orientation. Instead, it proposes a model of asexuality as an emergent orientation that includes experiences of asexuality resulting from celibate practice, the natural sublimation of libido through somatic awareness, and as a valid lifestyle choice for individuals who reject societal norms, including those who have experienced trauma.This book serves as a vital resource of embodied asexual narratives, contributing to asexuality studies and future research in the sociology of desire, libido, and love. It advances reflexive and creative methodologies such as autoethnography, auto/biography, sensory autoethnography, embodied inquiry, sociological fiction, poetry as method, and narrative performative approaches.Ethical considerations are central to this work, emphasizing the care for both researchers and participants within qualitative and embodied research contexts.
