Time Psychology

From the chaos of a psychiatric ER to the bowels of a maximum security prison, the stories range from bizarre to poignant and the people from noble to callous. Bedlam's Door depicts the challenges mental illness poses for patients, families, and health-care professionals and offers hope for the future. Like the case histories in The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat by Oliver Sacks, it shows that though every person's story is unique, we are all more alike than different and are linked by our shared human experience.

When Paul Collins’s son Morgan was two years old, he could read, spell, and perform multiplication tables in his head … but not answer to his own name. A casual conversation—or any social interaction that the rest of us take for granted—will, for Morgan, always be a cryptogram that must be painstakingly decoded. He lives in a world of his own: an autistic world. In Not Even Wrong, Paul Collins melds a memoir of his son’s autism with a journey into this realm of permanent outsiders.

Do you suffer from anxiety and does it take you at least two hours to fall asleep at night? Would you like to know if there is a way to fall asleep within 15 minutes, empty your mind of problems...and do it without taking tablets, drops, or drugs? Today we live in a technological era where electromagnetic waves and blue lights help increase our stress, decrease our melatonin, and consequently all this brings us anxiety and insomnia. The best way to combat all this is through meditation and guided relaxation through bedtime stories.

Sex. After. Baby. These three words are spoken in hushed voices over playdates and at playgrounds. But while we may whisper them to our closest girlfriends, or joke about them after one too many beers with the guys, when it comes to talking with our partners about what's really going on (or not going on, as the case may be) in our child-proofed bedrooms, more and more of us find ourselves tongue-tied and tiptoeing. Are you part of the "sleepless, sexless" club?

As discussed in the first book of this series, Erickson used a naturalistic approach that helped the patient (or client) find his or her own answers within their subconscious minds. He elegantly used stories and metaphors as a tool to do this. This concise book conveniently introduces you to this concept and leads you toward mastery of the application so that you can immediately use his techniques in your practice. Milton H. Erickson, M.D. was an American psychiatrist who pioneered several indirect or permissive hypnosis techniques.

»Nur wenn du dich genug mit deiner Psyche beschäftigst, kannst du glücklich sein!«, so eine weit verbreitete Annahme. Das stimmt nicht, widerspricht die renommierte Schematherapeutin Gitta Jacob. Es ist gut und wichtig, dass Menschen ihre Verhaltensmuster, Verletzungen und schwierigen Gefühle verstehen. Auf Dauer kann die Selbstbeschau jedoch daran hindern, Verantwortung für das eigene Handeln zu übernehmen. In ihrem neuen Buch benennt Jacob die Grenzen der Psychotherapie und die Gefahren, die das permanente Kreisen um das innere Kind erzeugen können.

And how can we help ourselves and our societies be less divided?

Let’s be honest. You've tried the sticky-note inspirations, the motivational calendar, and the cute (but ineffective) "carpe diem" mug - yet your attitude hasn't changed. It's time to apply cutting-edge science to the challenges of daily life. While everyone desires self-improvement, we are quickly frustrated when trying to implement the contradictory philosophies of self-appointed self-help gurus. Too often, their advice is based on anecdote and personal opinion, not real research.

Imagine you are on your death bed, and you are thinking back on your life. If you think that some of what will trigger satisfaction and regret will relate to what you did and did not achieve, then there may be something in this book for you. Here we will explore the foundational nature of achievement, as well as elements that contribute to it - ranging from the personal to the social.

The unprecedented access to other humans that technology provides has ironically freed us from engaging with them. According to social psychologist Adam Waytz, our increasingly human-free lives come with a serious cost that we’ve already begun to pay: the loss of our humanity. Humans have superpowers. More than any other psychological stimulus, our presence can make experiences feel significant, inspire moral behavior, and encourage action. The Power of Human shows us how to rehumanize and harness these unique abilities to improve our lives, beginning with our jobs.

When productivity expert Chris Bailey discovered that he had become stressed and burnt out because he was pushing himself too hard, he realized that he had no right to be giving advice on productivity without learning when and how to rein things in and take a break. Productivity advice works—and we need it now more than ever—but it’s just as important that we also develop our capacity for calm. By finding calm and overcoming anxiety, we don’t just feel more comfortable in our own skin, we invest in the missing piece that leads our efforts to become sustainable over time.

As Australia's most distinguished criminal psychologist, 'Doc' Tim Watson-Munro has assessed over 30,000 'persons of interest' in some of the nation's most notorious court cases, including Hoddle Street gunman Julian Knight, corporate fraudster Alan Bond, Melbourne gangster Alphonse Gangitano and, in recent years, Australia's first terrorist convicts. But the front line of psychology is no place for the fainthearted.

Ferociously in love and in their own universe, Lydie and Nico’s first year together was so beautiful that they've been recreating it, day by day, ever since. The anniversaries, sometimes elaborate, sometimes small, become the couples' own internal logic, tethering them to a reality they've built together. But the real world is starting to creep in. As the people around them start to get married, get pregnant, get serious, Lydie wonders what it is they're really doing—and why it leaves her so little time to focus on what she moved to the city for: creating art.
