The Spontaneous Brain
An argument for a Copernican revolution in our consideration of mental features--a shift in which the world-brain problem supersedes the mind-body problem. Philosophers have long debated the mind-body problem--whether to attribute such mental features as consciousness to mind or to body. Meanwhile, neuroscientists search for empirical answers, seeking neural correlates for consciousness, self, and free will. In this book, Georg Northoff does not propose new solutions to the mind-body problem; instead, he questions the problem itself, arguing that it is an empirically, ontologically, and conceptually implausible way to address the existence and reality of mental features. We are better off, he contends, by addressing consciousness and other mental features in terms of the relationship between world and brain; philosophers should consider the world-brain problem rather than the mind-body problem. This calls for a Copernican shift in vantage point--from within the mind or brain to beyond the brain--in our consideration of mental features. Northoff, a neuroscientist, psychiatrist, and philosopher, explains that empirical evidence suggests that the brain's spontaneous activity and its spatiotemporal structure are central to aligning and integrating the brain within the world. This spatiotemporal structure allows the brain to extend beyond itself into body and world, creating the "world-brain relation" that is central to mental features. Northoff makes his argument in empirical, ontological, and epistemic-methodological terms. He discusses current models of the brain and applies these models to recent data on neuronal features underlying consciousness and proposes the world-brain relation as the ontological predisposition for consciousness.
Ask Aesop
Created for adults and adolescents, Ask Aesop enables you to access rapidly Aesop's wise counsel on a wide range of issues. This representative collection of 125 fables has a unique Thematic Keyword Index that enables you to find the right fable for a given topic or dilemma. Aesop doesn't tell us what to think: our response to a fable tells us where we stand. Our prejudices, likes and dislikes, and, above all, weaknesses are exposed. We become aware of our foibles and the principles and issues involved in co-existing with others. By engaging with fable, we open ourselves to new perspectives and the possibility of our everyday self accessing the wisdom of our higher self. As free autonomous individuals, we are responsible for our decisions and actions. Asking Aesop can aid us on this journey, but our decisions are our own. Ask Aesop is both a self-help book and an educational resource. As a self-help book, it encourages readers to think around their issues; as an educational resource, Ask Aesop provides a springboard for pragmatic, secular discussions of morality. Finally, in keeping with the fables' original purpose, the Thematic Keyword Index also allows you to find the right fable for a debate or speech, without first having to trawl through the whole collection. The 125 unembellished fables in this representative, unillustrated collection have been retold by the author with reference to literal translations.

Depression and How Your Dreams Can Help You Avoid It
Over the course of this book, we will examine the most common areas of loss and gain of life energy, before considering some examples of dreams that signal damage to this energy, which after a while, if nothing is done to change the situation, can trigger depression. We will conclude by opening new horizons through the presentation of some little-known, forgotten or once forbidden technologies, destined to recharge the human body with energy and therefore to act on the main cause of depression, that is, lack of energy in the body.For more than thirty years, I have observed the functioning of the human body at the junction between dream and reality. Dreams show that the number one goal of the subconscious and the body is the preservation of LIFE. Therefore, the body and the subconscious never fail to inform us of everything that harms it. They do this mainly through dreams but also through physical cues. Dreams always sound the alarm bell when we lose too much energy, and they often offer a solution long before it is too late to avoid depression.By observing your dreams, you will be able to get to know yourself better both psychologically and physically. You will be able to better manage your energy and stop wasting or losing it through ignorance. You will be able to understand how to make life choices which will allow you to almost always have enough energy at your disposal to remain mentally healthy and to enjoy an existence full of joy.
Depression - More Than Just Sadness...
Depression has had several names over the years, and it seems to be more common than ever. Luckily, it can be treated fairly easily too, if the sufferer knows that he or she has a problem and also seeks help, which is far too often not the case. Most people 'snap out of it' with a little help from their friends, although it can and does return. Others can't bear it any longer and take the ultimate escape route.

Unlit Corners
With contributions from Salman Akhtar, Jerome Blackman, Michael Civin, Lois Choi-Kain, Nilofer Kaul, M. Sagman Kayatekin, Z. Emel Kayatekin Nina Savelle-Rocklin, and Ann Smolen. Unlit Corners endeavours to bring light to neglected character traits which many struggle to overcome. Filled with relevant case studies and carefully crafted psychoanalytic theory, the book elucidates the multilayered nature of such psychopathologies and its treatment. Beginning in the public realm, Nina Savelle-Rocklin explores the complex meaning of 'dirtiness, ' both literally and figuratively, relating it the body, mind, and language. Ann Smolen's investigation of miserliness follows, where she emphasizes that it is not about money, but instead arises from the poverty of internal good objects, which are the basic source of generosity. Jerome Blackman examines the nuanced potential meanings of shyness using psychopathology and underlying etiology, while Lois Choi-Kain deftly categorizes outrageousness into three types: a guilt-driven masochist, a hope-driven optimist, and a hate-driven sadist, with a subcategory for creative writers and artists. The more private traits start with shallowness. Michael Civin develops 'shallow' as a general construct and studies it from a psychoanalytic perspective, arguing that no human being can be described accurately as shallow. The Kayatekins come next with their study of indecisiveness and the role of the ego as a way of understanding this trait. Nilofer Kaul looks at 'restlessness' and its associations in psychoanalysis, literature, and culture. The final chapter comes from Salman Akhtar on the subject of cowardliness, where he links it to the lack of self-protective devices emanating from breeches in the early mother-child bond and deficient identification with the same-sex parent. This book is highly recommended to clinicians to give them the tools to not only understand and empathize with their patient's struggles but also to enhance their capacity to help them overcome such struggles.
Ageing
By 2025, Brazil is projected to be the sixth country in the world with the highest percentage of elderly people: around 32 million. And the various areas of knowledge have not yet woken up to more in-depth studies of ageing: psychology and psychoanalysis among them. The aim of this study is to verify the possible relationship between narcissism and ageing, in order to understand the constitution of the self in the elderly. To this end, in addition to the theory of narcissism, the Oedipus complex and depression as a possibility for the self will be addressed. Initially, a brief history is given of the construction of the elderly in society. The roles of sage or hindrance have been present throughout human history. This is followed by a brief account of old age by the father of psychoanalysis - Sigmund Freud. In the conclusion, the author reaffirms the importance of the analytical process for people over 60.

Know Yourself Melancholic
Know YourselfAlex Carberry's earlier book Know Yourself is a masterful introduction to this now sadly vastly underrated therapeutic method. I defy anyone to read it to the end and fail to recognise from it which admixture of the temperamental types - sanguine, choleric, melancholic and phlegmatic - best describe their own particular personality make-up. This subsequent volume, the second in a series of four, looks in far greater detail at just one of these, concentrating on the particular characteristics that go to form the melancholic personality, underscoring the strengths and failings that people of this nature display in their lives, and giving much practical advice to them about the ways in which those strengths may be enhanced and those failings mitigated. However Alex's words also open the way to something much deeper, prefigured in his basic title, Know Yourself.
Merging Clinical Social Work Practice and Antiracist Positioning
This textbook blends key social work competencies (engagement, assessment, treatment planning, risk assessment, intervention, termination, and evaluation) with an anti-oppressive, antiracist, trauma-informed, clinical approach. It offers information and knowledge on anti-oppressive clinical practice and teaches skills to facilitate effective antiracist service provision. Each chapter provides basic knowledge, followed by reflective questions and exercises for critical analysis, case examples for practical application, and tools for implementing these skills. Social workers need to understand clinical theory and develop practice skills with clients, families, and communities who have experienced historical trauma, systemic oppression, and multiple intersectional identities. Learning how to increase practitioner self-awareness, engage in strategic action, and improve accountability are the beginnings of an antiracist clinical practice.
In/Securities: Queer Life Narratives of Early Modern Times
This volume focuses on queer aspects of literary lives, which result from or cause various in/securities. By focusing on moments of irritation, or queer instances, the subjects of investigation challenge established norms, hierarchies, and ideologies. At stake are one-dimensional fixations of meaning, procedures of heteronormative standardization as well as the intellectual foundations of their legitimacy. In nine chapters, the contributors investigate materials from the 17th century and the Thirty Years' War (e.g. Grimmelshausen, Lohenstein) as well as the 21st (Kehlmann, Steidele), in which techniques of self-assertion and safeguarding are devised. The literary texts unhinge established societal and epistemological orders, on the one hand by pointing at the inflexibility and limitations of traditional orientation markers of the self, and on the other by the exposing abusive, discriminative, and unacceptable power structures of the day.

The Bright Side
In the thought-provoking tradition of Steven Pinker's Enlightenment Now and Yuval Noah Harari's Homo Deus, a fascinating and reassuring look at the philosophy, psychology, and practice of optimism, and why being optimistic is a moral obligation--even in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges. Scrolling through our daily newsfeeds we see violence and cruelty, turmoil and injustice, fake news and clickbait, and worsening environmental and social crises--just a few of the dark currents feeding a tidal wave of pessimism. In the face of so many challenges, how can we stay optimistic? And, more important, why should we? In The Bright Side, Sumit Paul-Choudhury answers these pressing questions, arguing that optimism is not only essential for overcoming the challenges we face, but also fundamental to human wellbeing. Drawing on a wide array of evidence--from biology to history, and from economics to meteorology--he delves into the underappreciated roots of optimism, examines its impact on mental health and professional success, and discusses why it has a power that wishful thinking lacks. Additionally, The Bright Side shows how we can apply the principles of optimism to cope with environmental crises, artificial intelligence, and social change. From the polar reaches to the world's mightiest cities, through inspirational figures including explorers, activists, and scientists, the book illustrates optimism in action. A beacon amid dark times, The Bright Side provides a lens through which we can see the challenges we face more clearly--and it also offers tools for solving them, to create a better future for ourselves and generations to come.
Love in the Second Dimension
With English-speaking Internet forums to express love for fictional characters and ceremonies to marry them in Japan, there has been an increase in activities to show affection for fictional characters in recent decades. While some people refer to it as "waifuism", others identify as "fictosexuals". What makes people develop deep emotional and romantic attachments to these characters? Which cognitive processes are involved when falling in love with them? What underlying mechanisms favor the belief in a parallel universe in which fictional characters live rather than taking introspection into account to arrive at the conclusion that a fictional character is the result of physical and psychological processes? By answering these questions, the author points out how people are creating their partners in their mind-space, as most of them are struggling with the effects of radical capitalism on society, seeking an alternative in media worlds to find self-fulfillment. The metaphors and values associated with the fictional character lead to sacred, collective, and binding conditions and thus to a re-enchantment of the world for these people. Last but not least, the author raises the final question: Is love in the second dimension, also known as "2D Love", a love revolution?
