Psychology Sociology

Zwei Hörbücher in einer Box! 1. "Psychologie der Massen": Was passiert mit dem Individuum, wenn es sich in einer Gruppe wiederfindet? Wie ist es zu erklären, dass intelligente Menschen sich in der Masse zu Dingen hinreißen lassen, die sie als Einzelne niemals tun würden? Gustave le Bon beschrieb 1895 in seinem Standardwerk diese Mechanismen. Es ist erstaunlich und spricht für den Autor, dass die eingängig erklärte Analyse zeitlos wirkt und die Hörer den Eindruck gewinnen, das Buch sei tatsächlich viel jünger. 2. "Massenpsychologie und Ich-Analyse": Was ist eine Masse?

"L'infidélité" est un phénomène à la fois courant et tabou : on la pratique mais on la tait ! Selon des études méthodologiques européennes et américaines, 20 à 30 % des hommes et 15 à 20 % des femmes auraient eu des relations sexuelles extraconjugales. Yvon Dallaire, dans ce texte bref mais fulgurant, mène une analyse fine et intelligente de l'infidélité : quelle est la réalité de l'infidélité ? À quoi reconnaît-on l'infidèle ? Quelles sont les idées préconçues portant sur ce phénomène ? Pourquoi devient-on infidèle ? Et à qui la faute ? Le couple peut-il survivre à l'infidélité ?

Gegory Bateson berichtete einmal von einer Patientin mit leichter Schizophrenie, die dem Arzt wiederholt versicherte, sie könne nicht "Nein" sagen. Nach einer Therapiestunde erteilte er ihr den Auftrag, täglich mindestens einmal eine Anforderung an sie mit "Nein" abzuschlagen. Ihre spontane Antwort lautete: "Nein, das kann ich nicht!" Die Kunst des negativen Denkens besteht zumeist darin, Abstand zu gewinnen zu den Unmöglichkeitsforderungen, die unsere Gesellschaft beständig an uns heranträgt.

In this subject guide, psychologist Dr. Jerry Kennard provides a concise and informal introduction to panic attacks, panic disorder, and the management of panic. The guide is for people who want something more than a leaflet or a webpage, but less than a formal textbook. There was a time when the study of the human condition and mental health specifically was confined largely to students of psychology, medicine or nursing, or those involved in social care or health-related occupations.

Que se passe-t-il donc dans la tête d’un Homo sapiens lorsqu’une passion amoureuse l’entraîne dans la déraison et les extravagances? Ou bien lorsqu’une animosité en lui se transforme en sentiment de haine ? Les neurosciences nous éclairent maintenant très bien sur ces deux pulsions – amour, haine – qui sont, l’une et l’autre, des rouages essentiels à notre survie. Elles constituent des processus neuronaux ancestraux encore sollicités et restés très actifs.

When we try to understand our world, we ask "why?" a specific event occurred. But this profoundly human question often leads us astray. In Cause, sociologist Gregory Smithsimon brings us a much sharper understanding of cause and effect, and shows how we can use it to approach some of our most daunting collective problems. Smithsimon begins by explaining the misguided cause and effect explanations that have given us tragically little insight on issues such as racial discrimination, climate change, and the cycle of poverty.

In 1964, American judge Potter Stewart famously said, ‘I can’t define pornography, but I know it when I see it.’ Over 50 years later, the reverberations of these words are still being felt across the world. Be it proposed porn bans, religious morality or women’s rights, the assumption is that porn has a single, knowable definition. But one man’s art is another woman’s erotica is another person’s sex tape.

Harris guides listeners away from a life of ceaseless pings toward a state of measured connectivity, one that balances solitude and companionship.
