Mental Health History

Drawing on Crampton’s own experience of surviving a life-threatening disease only to find herself beset by almost constant anxiety about her health, A Body Made of Glass explores part of the landscape of illness that most memoirs don’t reach: the territory beyond survival or cure, where body and mind seem locked in a strange and exhausting kind of dance. The result is both a fascinating cultural history of hypochondria and a moving account of what it means to live with this invisible, elusive and increasingly widespread condition.

Why do some women get the attention of all the great guys, while others end up alone...or with "little boys" who can't commit and aren't emotionally available? If you're looking to attract the right man, keep him around as long as you want, and put an end to bad relationships, this audiobook is for you.

How Sex Became a Civil Liberty is the first book to show how and why we have come to see sexual expression, sexual practice, and sexual privacy as fundamental rights. Using rich archival sources and oral interviews, historian Leigh Ann Wheeler shows how the private lives of women and men in the American Civil Liberties Union shaped their understanding of sexual rights as they built the constitutional foundation for the twentieth-century's sexual revolutions.

In the summer of 1971, a psychology study at Stanford University morphed into a chilling demonstration of human behavior under the pressures of authority and submission. The Stanford Prison Experiment (SPE), led by psychologist Dr. Philip Zimbardo, aimed to explore the psychological effects of power and control in a simulated prison. What began as a planned two-week study unraveled in just six days, as participants—ordinary college students randomly assigned as 'guards' or 'prisoners'—descended into extreme and often disturbing behaviors.

Outrage Machine reveals how to navigate a world that has been thoroughly disrupted by technology. It demystifies the underlying machinery that has come to control us and will help guide listeners toward reflection rather than reaction. Pulling together 15 years of research and inquiry, Rose-Stockwell gives listeners a language with which to comprehend what is happening to society, and offer new mental models for how to manage our time, our technology, and our attention, as well as big-picture recommendations for the way forward.

This talk by Sam Shoemaker begins with a brief history of AA told by Sam. It contains some things which only Rev. Sam Shoemaker could tell correctly. Sam was the preeminent Oxford Group leader in the US at the time Bill Wilson and Ebby T. were affiliated with it. The mission that Ebby was livening and working at during his pivotal meetings with Bill around the time Bill sobered for life was a branch of Sam's church.

Жизнь американского философа Уильяма Джеймса (1842—1910), ведущего представителя прагматизма и функционализма, которого принято называть "отцом современной психологии", не была богата событиями, не считая того, что он дважды удостаивался чести возглавить Американскую психологическую ассоциацию, основал в Гарварде, где бессменно преподавал, первую в США лабораторию прикладной психологии, а на склоне лет увлекся спиритизмом. Но зато после смерти великого ученого начались приключения его теорий, которые то опровергали и низвергали, то вновь возносили на пьедестал, то благополучно забывали — чтобы вернуться к ним десятилетия спустя.

Many theories that form the bedrock of good parenting were created decades before devices even existed - they don't consider the significant impact on a child's psychological and physical development. The landscape of the early years has changed so quickly, yet parents and caregivers do not have access to the evidence-based, practical advice they need to manage this invasion of screens. They can see their children become addicted to devices, but don't know what to do. Generation Zombie will fill this knowledge gap.

Depression has become the most frequently diagnosed chronic mental illness, and is a disability encountered almost daily by mental health professionals of all trades. "Major Depression" is a medical disease, which some would argue has reached epidemic proportions in contemporary society, and it affects our bodies and brains just like any other disease. Why, this book asks, has the incidence of depression been on such an increase in the last 50 years, if our basic biology hasn't changed as rapidly?

Nati 3.000 anni fa nell'antica Grecia e tornati in auge verso la fine del XIX secolo, i Giochi Olimpici sono diventati la competizione sportiva più popolare a livello mondiale.

I primi Giochi Olimpici dell'era moderna furono ospitati ad Atene nel 1896 e videro 280 atleti di 13 nazioni confrontarsi in 43 discipline diverse.

This 1914 work is a polemic against competing theories in psychotherapy, directed at those who opposed his psychoanalysis. Adler and Jung, for example, had previously been followers of Freud but objected to his emphasis on sexual matters. The book is divided into three chapters, through which Freud threads a history of psychoanalysis from his perspective.

Zábavnou formou sledujeme proměnu společenského chování v ohledu na intimní činnosti (např. antikoncepce či spodní prádlo) od starověku až po novověk. V učebnicích historie i vědeckých dílech najdeme především údaje o panovnících, slavných bitvách, hospodářství i umění, ale o základních lidských potřebách se toho dozvíme málo či vůbec nic. Vlastimil Vondruška to napravuje a lehce stravitelným stylem přináší informace o různých pojetích péče o lidské tělo a o proměně společenského chování v ohledu na intimní činnosti od starověku až po baroko.
