Positive Existential Psychology for the Prevention of Extremism
Many scientific works and studies have focused on the phenomena of extremism and violent radicalization. However, very few resources exist to effectively address this issue from an educational perspective. The diagnoses are often fragmented and give prominence to geopolitical and socio-political factors. Yet an interdisciplinary analysis of the processes of extremism and radicalization indicates the central role of biographical, psychological, or even psychopathological variables and traumas. How can we draw deep lessons from this to innovate in education and truly give ourselves the means to prevent these processes of extremism and radicalization? This book, deliberately choosing positive and existential psychology as a resource, proposes to answer this question with the support of scientific and creative resources that finally address and respond to the root causes. These resources are adapted to socio-educational professions and understandable by parents. They finally restore courage, ideas, and motivating and positive approaches for all those who want to take up this increasingly widespread and threatening challenge within our societies. At the same time, these resources make it possible to work on the transmission of values, strengths, and to contribute to the mental health and fulfilment of our youth, a capital theme if there ever was one.
Between Trauma and Memory
This book is a collection of essays covering diverse perspectives within the study of trauma and memory. In its compartmentalisation into four sections, the book diligently analyses the literary representations of trauma and memory in the micro and macro levels of cultural contexts. Analysis of these representations can illuminate societal attitudes toward trauma, memory, and healing, as well as shed light on larger issues such as war, violence, oppression, and injustice, and help the readers gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of human emotions, reactions, and coping mechanisms. The ethical questions discussed in the book also engage with the notions of authenticity, and responsibility, prompting the readers with a sense of validation and solidarity.
The Last Lectures
In 1958, just three years before his death, Carl Jung sat with students and followers offering some of his final instructions on working with patients in analysis. The event was transcribed, preserved and eventually translated to become this concise volume. This short book-never before published in English- brings together the thoughtful reflections of the master as he looks over the landscape he explored and charted with singular dedication.Whether he speaks to the shadow cast by Analytical Psychology or an early defeat upon realizing that he had overlooked the function of intuition, Jung's wisdom, humor, and humility shine through. While this book is published on the 150th anniversary of Jung's birth, the reader may feel like part of the audience for these last lectures of Jung.

The Human Soul
New edition of the classic study of the characteristics of the human soul, which outlines four distinct stages of consciousness. New in the Karl Kӧnig Archive. In this book Karl Kӧnig looks at a range of human experiences, including pain, anxiety, fear, shame and anger, and distinguishes four stages of consciousness: normal day-consciousness, dreaming, sleeping and deep sleep. Although much has changed in the field of psychology since The Human Soul was written in the middle of the twentieth century, this book nevertheless remains a meaningful exploration into the mysteries and complexities of the human psyche. This new Karl Kӧnig Archive edition of the classic text has been updated with never-before published lectures by Konig on psychology and the human soul, including notes from the two talks that originally inspired this book.
The Science of Living
The Science of Living-Abridged EditionIn this landmark work, Austrian psychiatrist Alfred Adler-founder of Individual Psychology-presents his core ideas about human behavior, personality development, and the challenges of everyday life. Drawing on years of clinical experience, The Science of Living offers a clear, practical framework for understanding how feelings of inferiority, striving for significance, and social connectedness shape who we are.Accessible and humane, Adler explores topics such as love, work, family, and the education of children, showing how our beliefs about ourselves and our place in society guide the choices we make. Rejecting deterministic models of biology and Freudian theory, Adler emphasizes courage, social interest, and the creative power of the individual to shape their own life.First published in 1929, The Science of Living remains a cornerstone of modern psychotherapy and self-development literature-compassionate, optimistic, and strikingly modern in its emphasis on personal growth and social contribution.
The Detached Advantage
Rejection is not a defeat; it is an invitation. You do not fight harder to keep what is passing, but to be clear, strong and gracious when you come back to yourself. It may seem like a loss, but it is the initiation of sovereignty. When you quit, you quit chasing, quit pleading, quit overexplaining, you make room- at least in relationships, but also in identity. Detachment isn't apathy. It is dynamism, not desperation. It is having the courage to say, my peace is my right, my values and principles are the only comprehensible thing, and my worth is far greater than the unnecessary and unreasonable slowness of another person. The Detached Advantage is the art of withdrawal without collapse. Taking away a step, not to penalize, but to save what is sacred, your mental lucidity, your self-respect, your development. It is the appreciation that value can not be validated by proximity; value is embodied by absence. That even walking away properly speaks louder than any argument can ever speak. It is creating a life in which rejection transforms into polishing. In a culture where self-esteem is not cultivated, and where speaking is regarded as a sign of weakness. And you cease to be afraid of no, saying that now you no longer require yes to make you complete. A purposeful leader who performs on principle and remains soft without being influenced. In love, in work, in life, you learn to be without attachment, to desire without ambition and to be in relation without need. And after a time, when you finally detach, completely and with love, something very surprising occurs: you become magnetic. Not simply because you made an effort, but because you have come to be whole. Just because of rejection, the end is not gone. It is your actual origin. The point you either give up attempting to be selected or switch and select yourself.
Dynamics of Hypnosis
Collected for the first time in one volume, this is an accessibly-written dive into the breadth of hypnosis from one of the field's expansive thinkers. What hypnosis is, how it works, where it fits in relationship to more conventional therapies, and what hypnosis looks like in some real-world applications, are just some of the topics addressed in this compendium of recent articles by a popular speaker and award-winning hypnotherapist The Seattle Times named 'the best alternative therapy in the Pacific Northwest.' This is the voice of a professional, articulate, clear thinker who brings contemporary science and sensibilities to current issues in hypnotherapy, mental-emotional health, and modern society. As a body of curated short works, this is an engaging read, appropriate for both seasoned hypnotists and the general public. There are nuggets on every page, contextualized to give them even greater meaning. A 'seamed anthology, ' each chapter stands on its own, but is best read alongside the other, as the collection builds on the information, nuance, and perspective of previous pages in an intelligent, overarching development. This is the best recent work of one of the rising starts of professional hypnosis today.

The Competency Restoration Handbook
In order for defendants facing legal charges in the United States to be able to move forward with the legal process, they must be competent to proceed with their cases. Defendants are presumed to be competent to make legal decisions, until someone calls their competency into question. Once the presumption of competency is questioned, their legal case is paused and the defendant is evaluated, so that the court can determine whether they are competent to proceed. If a person is not adequately knowledgeable about how the court system works, or too psychiatrically unstable to proceed with their case, their case gets put on pause and the defendant is ordered for "competency restoration." The Competency Restoration Handbook is a collection of foundational materials for competency restoration providers who work with adult pretrial defendants in the United States. The book begins with a description of the legal context related to adjudicative competence and an overview of foundational competency restoration practices. Following these foundational resources are chapters explaining how various clinical interventions can be adapted to help restore individuals to competency, and an assortment of practical tools (study guides, vocabulary-based games, and other hands-on activities) for use with defendants undergoing competency restoration. Covering empirically informed, theoretical, and creative approaches that can be individualized for each specific defendant, the book encourages and facilitates best practices in competency restoration. Readers are encouraged to adopt these interventions to address defendant-specific barriers to competency. The authors also encourage competency restoration providers to consider adapting other treatment modalities (i.e., particularly those which are empirically supported or newly developed) to facilitate competency restoration.

Fighting for the Good Cause
Sir Francis Galton was an influential mentor for the educational psychologists who supplied crucial doctrine to American eugenics from 1903 to 1930. Yet the nature of his influence has never been specified. The psychologists' own claim as to the Galton's contribution -- that he provided sufficient justification for their absolutist hereditarianism -- was clearly disingenuous. Rather, he appears to have functioned as a model for these figures, who were informed by their perceptions of Galton's ulterior purposes in constructing eugenics as he did. Any of various features in the 45-year-long course of that development could have encouraged these particular legatees to appreciate both Galton and his product as surreptitious stanchers of democracy.

The Varieties of Spiritual Experience
A cutting-edge guide to the psychology and neuroscience of spiritual experiences Spiritual experiences have occurred within people around the world and throughout history, up to and including the present day. The founders of every major religion described them, philosophers since antiquity have pondered them, and according to recent polls, about 30% of people still report them. A century ago, philosopher and psychologist William James famously analyzed accounts of these experiences and raised questions for future scientific study. What triggers these events? How are the brain and body affected? How do these brief moments have such lasting effects? Now, modern science has some answers. This book invites readers into contemporary psychology and neuroscience laboratories around the world to learn about these elusive yet profound inner events. As it explores phenomena ranging from divine revelations to paranormal experiences to life-changing experiences of unity, findings from modern science are illustrated with a diverse set of personal accounts from believers and non-believers alike, plunging readers into deeply personal and sometimes transformative moments. Written by two renowned scientists in the field, this book is a deep exploration of the psychology and neuroscience of a range of profoundly meaningful experiences.

Conceptualizing Extreme Beliefs and Behaviors
Concepts like extremism and radicalization are highly contested. Their definitions matter, because they influence how we study extremism and radicalization and, in the long run, how these are perceived in the public debate. Rather than adding more definitions, this book explores the underlying challenging conceptual issues in defining, interpreting, and operationalizing notions such as extremism, radicalization, fanaticism, and terrorism. It explores four crucial questions. First, how should each of these extreme phenomena be defined, and what are the desiderata in seeking definitions of each of them? Second, how should the project of defining and conceptualizing these phenomena be undertaken: in terms of necessary and sufficient conditions, or family resemblances, or common understandings in the public debate, or something else? Third, what is the role of normativity in defining these extreme phenomena, that is, the proper place of normative or even pejorative concepts and the normative framework of the researcher? Fourth and finally, how do the phenomena of extremism, fanaticism, fundamentalism, terrorism, and conspiracism relate to one another and to things such as apocalypticism, nationalism, cults, charisma, and state terror? Written by global, multidisciplinary experts, this text lays the conceptual groundwork that the other volumes in the Extreme Belief and Behavior Series will build on.
