Direction Dependence Analysis
While regression analysis is widely understood, it falls short in determining the causal direction of relationships in observational data. In this groundbreaking volume, Wiedermann and von Eye introduce Direction Dependence Analysis (DDA), a novel method that leverages variable information often overlooked by traditional techniques, such as higher-order moments like skewness and kurtosis. DDA reveals the asymmetry properties of regression and correlation, enabling researchers to evaluate competing causal hypotheses, assess the roles of variables in causal flows, and develop statistical methods for testing causal direction. This book provides a comprehensive formal description of DDA, illustrated with both artificial and real-world data examples. Additionally, readers will find free software implementations of DDA, making this an essential resource for researchers seeking to enhance their understanding of causal relationships in data analysis.
Psychedelika v Česku a na Slovensku
"Psychedelika v Česku a na Slovensku je sbírka rozhovorů mapující zkušenosti, pohledy a vize třiceti předních českých a slovenských vědců, terapeutů, umělců, podnikatelů, aktivistů a zástupců legislativy.
Navzdory světové psychedelické renesance má podle odborníků vědecký výzkum v této oblasti před sebou ještě dlouhou cestu. Výsledky klinických studií jsou však velmi slibné, a to jak v oblasti duševního zdraví, tak při léčbě některých chronických a neurodegenerativních onemocnění. V 60. letech 20. století bylo Československo jedním z průkopnických center psychedelického výzkumu. Dnes je Česká republika světovým epicentrem pokroku v oblasti výzkumu, terapie, legislativy, umění a kultury. To, co bylo kdysi součástí opomíjeného undergroundu, se postupně dostává do centra pozornosti veřejnosti.
Po desetiletích stigmatizace a kriminalizace jsou psychedelika opět na pokraji začlenění do psychiatrické a psychoterapeutické praxe. Tato kniha se proto zabývá klíčovými otázkami, které obklopují znovuzrození psychedelik:
Jaký je potenciální přínos psychedelik v terapii a osobním rozvoji?
Jaké výzvy představuje renesance těchto látek?
Jak se vyvíjí legislativa na Slovensku, v České republice a v celé Evropě?
Co charakterizuje psychedelickou kulturu?
Co odlišuje léčebné užívání od toho rekreačního?
Otevřenost současného publika k tématice duševního zdraví představuje důležitý moment pro přiblížení psychedelické formy léčby tím adekvátním způsobem - nikoliv jako součást alternativního, ne vždy kontrolovaného kontextu, ale jako legitimní možnost pro řešení zdravotníc"

A Noble Madness
''A magisterial rethinking of why we collect. I loved this book'' Edmund de Waal''Magnificent . . . so compulsive and entertaining'' Stephen Fry''Give it to the collector in your life, and watch sparks fly!'' Cathy Gere''A delight to read and ponder'' Jackson Lears''A tour de force of scholarship and storytelling'' Daniel WeissA captivating history of obsessive collectors: from ancient looters and idolaters to fin de siecle decadents, Freudian psychos, and hoarders.Collectors are often praised for their taste in art or contributions to science, but there can be a darker side: their passion is sometimes driven by dangerous obsession. Roman emperors who lusted after statues; Chinese scholars obsessed with rocks and flowers; fin de siecle dandies surrounded by bibelots. History is full of stories about those who love things more than people, presenting a danger either to themselves or others. In this sweeping history from antiquity to today, James Delbourgo tells the extraordinary story of the mad collector as a cultural figure from the tyrant and idolater to the sexually repressed "psycho" of the Freudian imagination and the modern-day hoarder. His conclusion is surprising: Because they are driven by passion rather than profit, obsessive collectors also have been cultural heroes, seen as authentic and true to themselves. Some may be mad, but theirs is a noble madness.
Happiness and Positive Psychology
Positive Psychology is a swiftly expanding field, attracting academics who commit their careers to its advancement. Although happiness was initially a focal point in Positive Psychology research, some academic circles now prefer the more precise concept of flourishing. Without doubt, the primary goal of Positive Psychology is to enhance flourishing, even though the term happiness holds broader significance through history and across cultures.This work is the first to look at happiness as a crucial aspect of Positive Psychology. Authors Sandie McHugh and Jerome Carson begin by introducing definitions of happiness and Positive Psychology, followed by a discussion on the measurement of happiness. The study then navigates through the historical evolution of these concepts, exploring the transition from Humanistic Psychology to Positive Psychology and the shift from happiness to flourishing. Chapters explore the global perspective on happiness, focusing on enhancing happiness through individual and external interventions. It concludes by contemplating the future of happiness and Positive Psychology, summarizing self-help interventions and reflecting on the lessons learned throughout the exploration.Happiness and Positive Psychology is essential reading for academic professionals in Positive Psychology seeking theoretical insights and for students in Positive Psychology programs looking for foundational knowledge and practical insights. Psychologists specializing in well-being and flourishing, researchers in humanistic psychology, and practitioners in applied positive psychology, such as therapists and counsellors, benefit from real-world case studies presented throughout the work.
Psychodrama
This Element presents an integrated account of psychodrama theory, practice, and research. It begins by exploring psychodrama's psychosocial roots and emphasizes Jacob Levy Moreno's pioneering work. Core concepts such as spontaneity, creativity, adaptability, encounter, act-hunger, action insight, and act fulfillment are discussed in detail. This is followed by an overview of psychodrama practice, including session structure, core techniques, and a positive psychodrama intervention program. Five research designs for outcome studies are presented, along with key issues such as bias assessment, treatment fidelity, treatment differentiation, feasibility, and acceptability in psychodrama research. Change process research is reviewed in light of the latest evidence and methods, highlighting eleven therapeutic change factors in psychodrama and discussing concepts such as moderation, mediation, and mechanisms of change. The final section addresses future directions, including nonverbal synchrony and physiological and neurobiological pathways in psychodrama research. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
Therapeutic Change with Difficult Clients
Now in its second edition, Therapeutic Change with Difficult Clients describes a common factors model for understanding and activating the process of change with challenging clients. For therapists, the most difficult clients to treat are often those who have little interest in change. Whether they believe that change is a waste of time, or a threat to their personal freedom or sense of being, the difficulty of treating such clients reveals the limits of typical approaches to psychotherapy. A thorough understanding of the true nature therapeutic change is often the most important step toward improving psychotherapy effectiveness. The CHANGES model, which has been significantly expanded and updated since the first edition of this book, is founded on the seven precursors of change, which are identified, assessed, and activated in the context of therapeutic encounters. The authors examine the capacities of individuals to generate therapeutic change, identify the barriers to change, and discuss the power of therapists to catalyze the change process using a variety of well established techniques. In addition to updated supporting literature, the authors discuss recent advances in neuroscience and the cognitive sciences, as well as new developments in the interpersonal aspects of therapeutic engagement.
Jung on Ignatius of Loyola’s Spiritual Exercises
Jung’s lectures on the psychology of Jesuit spiritual practice—unabridged in English for the first timeBetween 1933 and 1941, C. G. Jung delivered a series of public lectures at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich. Intended for a general audience, these lectures addressed a broad range of topics, from yoga and meditation to dream analysis and the psychology of alchemy. Here for the first time are Jung’s complete lectures on Ignatius of Loyola’s Spiritual Exercises, delivered in the winter of 1939–1940. These illuminating lectures are the culmination of Jung’s investigation into traditional forms of meditation and their parallels to his psychotherapeutic method of active imagination. Jung presents Loyola’s exercises as the prime example of a Christian practice comparable to yoga and Eastern meditation, and gives a psychological interpretation of the visions depicted in the saint’s autobiographical writings. Offering a unique opportunity to encounter the brilliant psychologist as he shares his ideas with the general public, the lectures reflect Jung’s increasingly positive engagement with Roman Catholicism, a development that would lead to his fruitful collaborations after the war with eminent Catholic theologians such as Victor White, Bruno de Jésus-Marie, and Hugo Rahner. Featuring an authoritative introduction by Martin Liebscher along with explanations of Jungian concepts and psychological terminology, this splendid book provides an invaluable window on the evolution of Jung’s thought and a vital key to understanding his later work.
The Cambridge Cockpit and the Paradoxes of Fatigue, 1940–1977
The story of a unique and controversial wartime study of pilot fatigue. During World War II, members of the Cambridge Psychology Laboratory were commissioned to study pilot fatigue. They set up a Spitfire cockpit in the laboratory, turned it into a piece of laboratory apparatus, and carried out a series of important experiments that appeared to dramatically confirm the dangers of fatigue. Historians of psychology are aware of this episode, but the experiments, the events surrounding them, and the scientific reasoning involved have never been studied in detail. By going into the episode in depth, and by looking behind the scenes at archival material, David Bloor offers an analysis that is both original and more penetrating than anything that has been said before on the topic. Bloor describes the Cockpit experiments themselves before turning to the theoretical interpretation of the results and the intellectual resources that informed how they were viewed. Bloor then explains a major empirical and theoretical challenge to the Cambridge Cockpit work drawn from a field study of landing accidents apparently showing that fatigue-effects were operationally negligible. Bloor delves into the consequences of this challenge, and the Cambridge reaction to it, in the post-war years. The analysis is deepened by comparison with the corresponding wartime work on fatigue carried out both in Germany and the United States. As the author demonstrates, even today the Cambridge Cockpit experiments pose a challenge to the current understanding of pilot fatigue.
Analytical Psychology in Exile
Two giants of twentieth-century psychology in dialogueC. G. Jung and Erich Neumann first met in 1933, at a seminar Jung was conducting in Berlin. Jung was fifty-seven years old and internationally acclaimed for his own brand of psychotherapy. Neumann, twenty-eight, had just finished his studies in medicine. The two men struck up a correspondence that would continue until Neumann's death in 1960. A lifelong Zionist, Neumann fled Nazi Germany with his family and settled in Palestine in 1934, where he would become the founding father of analytical psychology in the future state of Israel. Presented here in English for the first time are letters that provide a rare look at the development of Jung’s psychological theories from the 1930s onward as well as the emerging self-confidence of another towering twentieth-century intellectual who was often described as Jung’s most talented student. Neumann was one of the few correspondence partners of Jung’s who was able to challenge him intellectually and personally. These letters shed light on not only Jung’s political attitude toward Nazi Germany, his alleged anti-Semitism, and his psychological theory of fascism, but also his understanding of Jewish psychology and mysticism. They affirm Neumann’s importance as a leading psychologist of his time and paint a fascinating picture of the psychological impact of immigration on the German Jewish intellectuals who settled in Palestine and helped to create the state of Israel. Featuring Martin Liebscher’s authoritative introduction and annotations, this volume documents one of the most important intellectual relationships in the history of analytical psychology.
A People's History of Psychoanalysis
It has been decades since Freud fell out of favour, not only in mainstream psychiatry but also in radical thought, where both he and Lacan were accused of sexist and class biases. A People's History of Psychoanalysis refuses to accept this growing depoliticization of a formerly revolutionary field. Florent Gabarron-Garcia shatters the comfortable narrative of psychoanalysts as armchair theorists placidly interpreting family complexes sheltered in their consulting rooms. Recalling Freud's radical moments (such as his promotion of free clinics in Weimar Germany), or lesser-known figures including the Marxist Feminist psychoanalyst Marie Langer, his new history delves into how revolutionary ferment has cross-fertilized the exploration of the unconscious. A People's History of Psychoanalysis is for those who wish to resist the conformist, therapist-centered, and repressive management of madness under contemporary capitalism.
The Housefly Effect
THE INSTANT INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLERHow do house flies help save millions of euros? How do the layout of casinos keep you gamblin? e are not nearly as rational as we’d like to think – every day we overestimate our ability to resist temptation. Effective advertising experts use this to nudge us, making the most of our natural behaviour to get the results they want. In order to process the millions of decisions we make each day, our brains take shortcuts. We are fooled by drugs that don’t contain active ingredients, traffic light buttons that aren’t connected, and the obsolete ‘save’ feature in MS Word – these are all examples of placebos that can be surprisingly reassuring. There are countless things that affect our behaviour: reward and punishment, beauty and attraction, and the human tendency to follow the crowd. THE HOUSE FLY EFFECT reveals how to recognize some of the things that affect our behaviour everyday and how we can use this knowledge to our advantage.
The Freedom of Words
The Freedom of Words is for anyone interested in understanding the role of body and language in cognition and how humans developed the sophisticated ability to use abstract concepts like 'freedom' and 'thinking'. This volume adopts a transdisciplinary perspective, including philosophy, semiotics, psychology, and neuroscience, to show how language, as a tool, shapes our minds and influences our interaction with the physical and social environment. It develops a theory showing how abstract concepts in their different varieties enhance cognition and profoundly influence our social and affective life. It addresses how children learn such abstract concepts, details how they vary across languages and cultures, and outlines the link between abstractness and the capability to detect inner bodily signals. Overall, the book shows how words – abstract words in particular, because of their indeterminate and open character – grant us freedom.
