Financial Therapy
by Bradley T. Klontz Sonya L. Britt Kristy L. ArchuletaMoney-related stress dates as far back as concepts of money itself. Formerly it may have waxed and waned in tune with the economy, but today more individuals are experiencing financial mental anguish and self-destructive behavior regardless of bull or bear markets, recessions or boom periods. From a fringe area of psychology, financial therapy has emerged to meet increasingly salient concerns. Financial Therapy is the first full-length guide to the field, bridging theory, practical methods, and a growing cross-disciplinary evidence base to create a framework for improving this crucial aspect of clients' lives. Its contributors identify money-based disorders such as compulsive buying, financial hoarding, and workaholism, and analyze typical early experiences and the resulting mental constructs ("money scripts") that drive toxic relationships with money. Clearly relating financial stability to larger therapeutic goals, therapists from varied perspectives offer practical tools for assessment and intervention, advise on cultural and ethical considerations, and provide instructive case studies. A diverse palette of research-based and practice-based models meets monetary mental health issues with well-known treatment approaches, among them: Cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused therapies. Collaborative relationship models. Experiential approaches. Psychodynamic financial therapy. Feminist and humanistic approaches. Stages of change and motivational interviewing in financial therapy. A text that serves to introduce and define the field as well as plan for its future, Financial Therapy is an important investment for professionals in psychotherapy and counseling, family therapy, financial planning, and social policy.

Die Psychologie als Verteidigerin der Moderne: Die unterschiedlichen Funktionen der Psychologie in der Moderne (essentials)
by Christoph KlotterDie Menschen in Deutschland haben ein gleichgültiges bis schlechtes Verhältnis zu unserer Gesellschaft. Tatsächlich hat die Moderne, also die letzten 200 Jahre, der Bevölkerung einen historisch beispiellosen Fortschritt geschenkt: Demokratie, Menschenrechte, soziale Sicherungssysteme, nutritiver Überfluss. Doch gewürdigt wird dies wenig. Das mag daran liegen, dass wir uns im Sinne Diderots permanent bewähren müssen, wir also in einer Leistungsgesellschaft leben, die Leiden produziert. In der Moderne sind jedoch auch totalitäre Ideologien entstanden und umgesetzt worden, für die die Moderne auch verantwortlich ist. Dieses essential zeigt, dass die Psychologie sich bei näherem Hinsehen als Verteidigerin der guten Anteile der Moderne entpuppt.
Fragmente einer Sprache des Essens
by Christoph KlotterDer vorliegende Band beschäftigt sich zum einen mit der Reduktion des Essens auf eine naturwissenschaftliche Perspektive und moralisches Gebot und hebt zum anderen die kulturelle und soziale Bedeutung hervor. Seit der Entstehung der Ernährungswissenschaft Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts haben wir uns daran gewöhnt, von Vitaminen, Proteinen und Kohlehydraten zu sprechen. Wir betrachten Lebensmittel aus naturwissenschaftlicher Sicht, lösen sie in einzelne Bestandteile auf und quantifizieren diese, um festzustellen, wie viel wir von welchem Inhaltsstoff zu uns nehmen müssen, um uns gesund zu ernähren. Die Ernährung hat dann die primäre Aufgabe, die Gesundheit zu erhalten und das Leben zu verlängern. Wer sich dieser Aufgabe verweigert, wie vermeintlich die Adipösen, darf moralisch verurteilt werden. Ernährung und Gesundheit haben sich so moralisiert. Somit wird mittels der empfohlenen Ernährung ein zentraler abendländischer Wert vermittelt, der der Mäßigung. Von Platon bis zur protestantischen Ethik, die unser Leben heute bestimmt, wird Mäßigung eingefordert, heute über das rigide Schlankheitsideal.
Identitätsbildung über Essen: Ein Essay über „normale“ und alternative Esser (essentials)
by Christoph KlotterChristoph Klotter widmet sich der Frage, auf welche Weise Ernährungsgewohnheiten unsere kulturelle und soziale Identität prägen und warum ausgerechnet das Thema Essen so wichtig für unser Selbstverständnis ist. Der Autor erläutert die Geschichte der Esskultur von Pythagoras und Platon bis hin zu den Ernährungsformen der modernen Avantgarde. Dabei geht er auf die Bedeutung von Essgewohnheiten innerhalb der Familie, verbreitete Essstörungen, Bewegungen wie Vegetarismus und Veganismus sowie kulturelle und ethische Fragen des Fleischkonsums ein.
Psychology as the Defender of Modernity: The Different Functions of Psychology in Modernity (essentials)
by Christoph KlotterPeople in Germany have an indifferent to poor relationship with our society. In fact, modernity, i.e. the last 200 years, has given the population historically unprecedented progress: democracy, human rights, social security systems, nutritive abundance. Yet this is little appreciated. This may be due to the fact that, in Diderot's sense, we have to prove ourselves permanently, that is, we live in a meritocracy that produces suffering. However, totalitarian ideologies have also emerged and been implemented in modernity, for which modernity is also responsible. This essential shows that psychology, on closer inspection, turns out to be the defender of the good parts of modernity.
Warum der Spaß am Bösen ein Teil von uns ist
by Christoph KlotterIn der Auseinandersetzung mit de Sade und Freud erhält der Leser eine Anregung, die Geschichte des Bösen neu zu denken, das Böse als Teil des Menschen und seiner Kultur zu denken. Neben Errungenschaften wie Demokratie, Menschenrechten und persönlicher Freiheit wird nämlich zu oft vergessen, dass dieser Kultur auch Schattenseiten innewohnen. Dass der Mensch fragmentiert ist, widersprüchlich fühlt und handelt, wird negiert. Als Folge vertieft sich seine Zerrissenheit. Das Buch ist somit auch eine Anregung für die wachsende Anzahl derer, die sich derzeit darüber Gedanken machen, warum das Böse offenkundig erstarkt und sich ungehemmt zeigt.
Gute – Böse Lebensmittelindustrie: Ein Diskurs der Ernährungsakteure
by Christoph Klotter Eva-Maria EndresEs ist nahezu zu einer Selbstverständlichkeit geronnen, die Lebensmittelbranche negativ zu bewerten: Convenience, Zusatzstoffe, Konsumententäuschung. Wie berechtigt oder unberechtigt diese kritische Sicht sein mag, sie greift zu kurz. Natürlich ist die Überflussgesellschaft eine Voraussetzung für die Verbreitung von Adipositas. Natürlich ist die Ernährungskompetenz zurückgegangen, weil nicht wie noch im 19. Jahrhundert über 80% der Deutschen Bauern sind, sondern nur noch maximal 5%. Aber wir haben heute vollkommen vergessen, wie entscheidend die Produktion von und die Versorgung mit Lebensmitteln ist: wir leben gesünder, wir werden viel älter, und wir werden viel gesünder älter. Wenn wir anerkennen, dass wir im Schlaraffenland leben, dann haben wir fundierte Koordinaten für einen kritischen Dialog mit der Lebensmittelindustrie. Dieser Band versammelt deshalb alle Beteiligten rund um das Thema Lebensmittel in Deutschland, um einen vielfältigen Diskurs über Ernährung zu führen.
Subtract: The Untapped Science of Less
by Leidy KlotzBlending evidence across science and design, Subtract: The Untapped Science of Less offers a revolution in problem-solving: proving why we overlook subtraction, and how we can access its true potentialWe pile on “to-dos” but don’t consider “stop-doings.” We create incentives for good behavior, but don’t get rid of obstacles to it. We collect new-and-improved ideas, but don’t prune the outdated ones. Every day, across challenges big and small, we neglect a basic way to make things better: we don’t subtract.Leidy Klotz’s pioneering research shows why. Whether we’re building Lego models or cities, grilled-cheese sandwiches or strategic plans, our minds tend to add before taking away. Even when we do think of it, subtraction can be harder to pull off because an array of biological, cultural, and economic forces push us towards more. But we have a choice—our blind spot need not go on taking its toll on our cities, our institutions, and our minds. By diagnosing our neglect of subtraction, we can treat it. Subtract will change how you change your world. In these pages you’ll meet subtracting exemplars: design geniuses, Nobel Prize-winners, rock-stars, and everyday heroes, who have subtracted to dismantle racism, advance knowledge, heal the planet, and even tell better jokes. These and more guiding lights show how we can revolutionize not just our day-to-day lives, but our collective legacy. A paradigm shift of a book, Subtract shows us how to find more of the options we’ve been missing—and empowers us to pursue them.

The Narcissist Next Door
by Jeffrey KlugerFrom an award-winning senior writer at Time, an eye-opening exploration of narcissism, how to recognize it, and how to handle it. The odds are good that you know a narcissist--probably a lot of them. The odds are also good that they are intelligent, confident, and articulate--the center of attention. They make you laugh and they make you think. The odds are also that this spell didn't last. Narcissists are everywhere. There are millions of them in the United States alone: entertainers, politicians, business people, your neighbors. Recognizing and understanding them is crucial to your not being overtaken by them, says Jeffrey Kluger, in his provocative new book about this insidious disorder. With insight and wit, Kluger frames the surprising new research on narcissism and explains the complex, exasperating personality disorder. He reveals how narcissism and narcissists affect our lives at work and at home, on the road, and in the halls of government; what to do when we encounter narcissism; and how to neutralize its effects before it's too late. As a Time writer and science editor, Kluger knows how to take science's new ideas and transform them into smart, accessible insights. Highly readable and deeply engaging, this book helps us understand narcissism and narcissists more fully.

Clinical Child Psychiatry
by William M. Klykylo Jerald KayMaking a psychiatric diagnosis in children can be challenging: some clinicians say the incidence of some childhood disorders, such as bipolar disorder and ADHD, is over-diagnosed while others say they are undiagnosed, undertreated, and are a large burden on society. The drug treatment of child psychiatric disorders can also be controversial in children and adolescents. Clinical Child Psychiatry fills the need for an objective, clinically relevant source to dispel this confusion.
