La revolución emocional: ¡Todos necesitamos lo mismo para sentirnos bien!
by Inma PuigA partir de historias vividas, Inma Puig muestra cómo aprender a gestionar las propias emociones y a entender las de los demás en el entorno personal y empresarial nos permite descubrir otra realidad. Esta «evolución emocional» al alcance de todos abrirá sin duda las puertas a un mundo mejor. Nos hallamos inmersos en una revolución en la que los cambios tecnológicos se suceden a un ritmo vertiginoso, en la vida diaria y en campos como la inteligencia artificial o la genética que incluso permitirán alargar la vida. Sin embargo, en una sociedad en la que hemos perdido la privacidad y todos somos cada vez más anónimos, ¿cómo afectarán estos avances tan deslumbrantes a nuestras emociones? ¿De qué nos sirve incrementar la longevidad, por ejemplo, si el resultado es una vida sin sentimientos? No hay más que mirar a nuestro alrededor para constatar que las emociones se han obviado en las empresas y en las relaciones personales. Por ello es urgente emprender una nueva revolución sin la cual las anteriores no habrían tenido sentido: Una «revolución emocional» al alcance de todos, personas y empresas, y que permitirá respetar, compartir y considerar los sentimientos propios y ajenos. Porque la realidad nos muestra que solo nos emociona lo que es auténtico, que solo recordamos lo que nos emociona, que solo aprendemos de aquello que nos emociona y que la vida solo vale la pena ser vivida con pasión. Además, la práctica demuestra que lo que no se hace con sentimiento se muere por el camino. Y basta con imaginar qué pasaría si tuviéramos en cuenta qué es lo que sienten y cómo se sienten quienes nos rodean. Evidentemente, sería un mundo mucho mejor. Reseñas:«Como afirma Inma Puig en La revolución emocional, cuando hablamos de transformación, deberíamos concentrarnos menos en la tecnología y la reingeniería de procesos y más en programas para desarrollar las competencias emocionales, sociales y relacionales. Ya es hora de devolver la humanidad al mundo de los negocios.»Sarah Harmon, Directora de LinkedIn España y Portugal «A veces no nos damos cuenta de lo que estamos haciendo. Lo hacemos casi por inercia, porque debemos hacerlo. Inma me ha ayudado a comprender muchas cosas y a mejorar en otras y, por encima de todo, me ha enseñado a elegir.»Andrés Iniesta, jugador del F.C. Barcelona y del Vissel Kobe «El libro de Inma Puig es imprescindible para comprender que la vanguardia no va de tecnología, ni de producto, sino de personas y de revolución sensible. En la restauración, y quizás en el mundo de la empresa, vanguardia e innovación es cuidar a las personas.»Joan, Josep y Jordi Roca, El Celler de Can Roca
Care of the World: Fear, Responsibility and Justice in the Global Age (Studies in Global Justice #11)
by Elena Pulcini Karen WhittleThis book proposes a philosophy of care in a global age. It discusses the distinguishing and opposing pathologies produced by globalization: unlimited individualism or self-obsession, manifested as (Promethean) omnipotence and (narcissistic) indifference, and endogamous communitarianism or an 'us'-obsession that results in conflict and violence. The polarization between a lack and an excess of pathos is reflected in the distorted forms taken on by fear. The book advocates a metamorphosis of fear, which may restore in the subject an awareness of vulnerability and become the precondition for moral action. Such awareness and the recognition of the condition of contamination caused by the other's unavoidable presence teach us to fear for rather than be afraid of. Fear for the world means care of the world, and care, understood as concern and solicitude, is a new notion of responsibility, in which the stress is shifted to a relational subject capable of responding to and taking care of the other. From a global perspective, the proposed vision of care also compels us to explore a new paradigm of justice.

Human Development from Middle Childhood to Middle Adulthood: Growing Up to be Middle-Aged
by Lea PulkkinenThis seminal work focuses on human development from middle childhood to middle adulthood, through analysis of the research findings of the groundbreaking Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Personality and Social Development (JYLS). The JYLS project, which began in 1968, has generated extensive publications over many years but this is the first comprehensive summary that presents the conceptual framework, the research design and methodology, and the findings. The study looks at the development over time of issues related to personality, identity, health, anti-social behavior, and well-being and is unparalleled in its duration, intensity, comprehensiveness and psychological richness. The thorough synthesis of this study illustrates that there are different paths to adulthood and that human development cannot be described in average terms. The 42-year perspective that the JYLS provides shows the developmental consequences of children’s differences in socioemotional behavior over time, and the great significance of children’s positive socioemotional behavior for their further development until middle age. Not only will the book be an invaluable tool for those considering research methods and analysis on large datasets, it is ideal reading for students on lifespan courses and researchers methodologically interested in longitudinal research.
Discrimination, Challenge and Response: People of North East India (Mapping Global Racisms)
by Venkat Pulla Rituparna Bhattacharyya Sanjai BhattThis book explores discrimination against Northeast Indians, who have been frequently stereotyped as backwards, anti-national, anti-assimilationist, immoral, and relegated to low paying positions across retail, hospitality, telecommunications and wellness industries. The contributions draw on interviews with individuals who have migrated to other Indian cities and towns to find jobs and escape from native poverty, and provide a critical examination of the intersections between power, privilege and racial hierarchy in India today. The chapters cover a variety of perspectives including social movements and activism, history, policy, youth studies and gender studies. With a focus on marginalised communities, and the effects and persistence of racial inequality in a South Asian context, this collection will be an important contribution to critical race studies, public policy, human rights discourse, and social work.
Heartstrong
by Ellidy Pullin'If not with you, then for you.'It was a perfect Wednesday morning when Alex 'Chumpy' Pullin kissed his partner, Ellidy, goodbye to go spearfishing. Most days Ellidy would go to the beach too, but that day she didn't. Later, there was a knock at the door. A man had been found unconscious on the ocean floor. It was Chumpy. From that moment, Ellidy's world stopped. There was deep grief, disbelief and then the gradual realisation that this was real. Ellidy's partner of eight years, a World Champion snowboarder, a man of energy and music, was gone. And so was the life they had built together and the dream of the child they had been trying for. In the hours that followed a suggestion was made: did Ellidy want to harvest Chumpy's sperm and try for the baby they both wanted so deeply? There was a ticking clock and the need to discuss with family and friends. They had thirty-six hours before it would be too late . . . Heartstrong is an unforgettable book about love, joy, grief, hope and finding a way to keep going in the darkest of times.
Designing Web-Based Applications for 21st Century Writing Classrooms (Baywood's Technical Communications)
by George Pullman Gu BaotongDesigning Web-Based Applications for 21st Century Writing Classrooms brings together, for the first time, a group of scholars and teachers who have been developing, on their own initiative, web-based solutions to technical and professional writing instructional problems. In industry the perennial question is whether to buy or build, but in academia, for various reasons, buy is rarely an option. Individual faculty members do not have the money to pay for software solutions, and often their interests are too local or small-scale to warrant institutional-level involvement. In addition, the design of commercial applications from vendors typically does not take into account the unique needs and considerations of teachers of writing and often reflects a design ideology quite different from theirs. This is why so many writing teachers have turned to open source solutions and, in the process of learning how to tweak them to make them more responsive to their specific needs, why so many of these teachers have developed programming and design skills. Beyond exigency, the motivation for becoming proficient at interface and database design comes from the observation that the nature of writing is changing dramatically. Text is no longer an object. It has become a place of interaction; consumers are becoming producers. And the work of technical and professional communication, indeed the work of writing teachers more generally, is becoming increasingly involved in the design and implementation of places of interaction. Words have become data; texts are becoming communities.
Content Management: Bridging the Gap Between Theory and Practice (Baywood's Technical Communications)
by George Pullman Baotong GuThis collection of articles is the first attempt by academics and professional writers to delve into the world of content management systems. The knowledge economy's greatest asset and primary problem is information management: finding it, validating it, re-purposing it, keeping it current, and keeping it safe. In the last few years content management software has become as common as word-processing software was five years ago. But unlike word processors, which are designed for single authorization and local storage, content management systems are designed to accommodate large-scale information production, with many authors providing many different pieces of information kept in a web-accessible database, any piece of which might find its way into electronic documents that the author doesn't even know exist. These software systems are complex, to say the least, and their impact on the field of writing will be immense.

Suicide Among Diverse Youth
by Andres J Pumariega Neha SharmaThis book provides a comprehensive review of the complex, growing mental health challenges faced by culturally diverse populations of children and adolescents. Suicide Among Diverse Youth: A Case-Based Guidebook is the first book of its kind, and is designed specifically to bridge the knowledge and skills gap encountered by most clinicians dealing with youth from diverse cultural backgrounds, particularly those different than that of the clinician. The title begins with two introductory chapters, which cover cultural aspects of suicidality among youth, culturally informed treatment of suicidality with diverse youth, and examples of preventative approaches. These are followed by population specific chapters which cover a broad spectrum of diverse populations, including underserved ethnic and racial populations in the United States, LGBTQ youth, as well as various immigrant populations from Eastern European and Middle Eastern countries. These case-based chapters are structured in a cohesive, easy-to-read format that promotes ease of reference, beginning with a clinical case report, review of literature, unique characteristics and risk factors associated with suicidality, and evidence-based practice provided by the authors from their considerable experience. The authors are often from the same ethnic, racial, or cultural group that they discuss in their writings; providing experiential knowledge where scientific knowledge is lacking. Suicide Among Diverse Youth: A Case-Based Guidebook is a unique resource that offers the clinical material needed to treat diverse adolescent patients with sensitive, intersectional, and culturally-informed care, and will provide an indispensable resource for medical professionals working with, and caring for these patients.

Sigmund Freud: His Life and Mind
by Helen Walker PunerFreud's development of psychoanalysis is one of the great fault lines of twentieth-century cultural history. The field as such provides one of the great professional dramas of our time: a classic struggle between a new, vital idea and the ignorance, prejudice and refusal that so often attend major breakthroughs and innovations. Helen Puner's biography is far more than a professional appreciation. It is the story of a complex, by no means flawless individual, whose personal characteristics helped sow the seeds of controversy as well as ultimately establish a new field. Upon its initial appearance, the Herald Tribune identified the book as "the first authoritative and profoundly perceptive biography of the man who more than any other has shaped the thinking of the Western World." It was summarized as a "brilliant performance, done without fear."Puner did precisely what irritated Freud most: probe the sources, social no less than personal, religious no less than scientific, that made Freud such a towering figure. Dorothy Canfield caught the spirit of this work when she noted that in this book, we see Freud "as we never saw him before, as most of us never knew he was, a rigidly virtuous, deeply troubled, upright, dutiful Jewish son, husband and father. We see him tracing the significance of clues he hit upon in the practice of medicine, and then fit these clues into the bewildering mastery of human behavior."In his Foreword, Erich Fromm indicates that Puner looks at Freud with genuine admiration, but without idolatry. "She understands his own psychological problems and has a full appreciation of the pseudo-religious nature of the movement which he created." And the late Ernest Becker, in The Denial of Death, seconded this estimate by calling the Helen Walker Puner effort "a brilliant critical biography." This new edition contains a new introduction by Paul Roazen; with this, and the appreciation of the author by her husband, Samuel Puner, we can better locate the author of the book as well as the famous object of her analysis.

Psychometric Framework for Modeling Parental Involvement and Reading Literacy
by Annemiek Punter Cees A. W. Glas Martina R. M. MeelissenThis volume offers insights from modelling measures of parental involvement and their relationship with student reading literacy across countries, exploring and incorporating cultural differences. This is a significant contribution to a field where cross-cultural comparisons from a triangulated perspective are sparse. For readers interested in exploring the relationship between parental involvement and student attainment, the literature review provides a useful starting point. Meanwhile, for the more methodologically interested reader, this report presents state-of-the-art ways to identify and model cultural differential item functioning in international large-scale assessment (ILSA), illustrating the extent to which the parental involvement construct may be influenced by cultural differences and how this may affect the outcomes of cross-cultural comparisons. The framework is generic and should provide a solid foundation for future ILSA practices and secondary analyses. ILSA studies like the IEA's Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) provide valuable data, containing both student achievement data and contextual background data from schools, teachers, students and parents for over 41 countries.
Understanding Visible Differences: Working Therapeutically With Individuals Who Look Different (Palgrave Texts in Counselling and Psychotherapy)
by Vivienne PurcellThis book provides an evidence-based guide to working with visible difference in therapeutic practice. It explores how appearance problems intersect with other concerns causing mental health issues and provides clear guidance on treatment plans and related topics. Visible difference is a bigger cause of mental distress than is often realised. One in five people have an appearance that is considered ‘different’ to the normal population. The category of ‘visible difference’, previously described as ‘disfigurement’ or simply ‘disability’ captures a range of conditions with varying aetiology, severity, and extent. Differences in appearance can be the result of a birth anomaly, or be caused later in life through illness, physical trauma, or behaviour. Whatever the cause, visible difference can have a negative effect on how individuals are perceived and view themselves. This timely work arrives at a moment of rising professional interest, due to the growth of social media use and the focus this puts on appearance (“the amplification of appearance bias”), and also influenced by the implications new research. The author draws on these findings together with her own research and practice to examine best practice and key issues in addressing visible difference. Particular consideration is given to establishing a good working therapeutic relationship. Whether a trainee, a recently qualified therapist, or an experienced professional wanting to broaden their understanding, this is the ideal text for anyone wanting to better understand this growing area of therapeutic practice.

Mensch und Raum, eine glückliche Beziehung?: Wohnpsychologie als Planungsgrundlage für Humanes Bauen
by Bettina Purkarthofer Barbara FriehsDas Buch bietet einen umfassenden Überblick über die Mensch-Umwelt-Beziehungen und betrachtet sowohl Wohnen aus systemischer Sicht als auch die lebensraumbezogenen Wohnbedürfnisse.Je hektischer und instabiler der Alltag bzw. die Außenwelt, desto wichtiger wird ein Zuhause, das Regeneration erlaubt, das Sicherheit und Geborgenheit schenkt. Ein Zuhause, das nicht nur den individuellen Wohnwünschen und -anforderungen entspricht, sondern auch die (oft unbewussten) grundlegenden menschlichen Wohnbedürfnisse wie etwa nach Privatheit, sensorischer Wahrnehmung, Selbstbestimmung und Regulation, Aneignung, Ortsbindung, Entwicklung und Entfaltung (…) erfüllt.Davon ausgehend, dass jeder (natürliche und gebaute) Raum unser Empfinden, Denken, Verhalten und Zusammenleben beeinflusst, führt der Weg zu „Humanen Lebensräumen“ über die Betrachtung von Wohnung, Wohngebäude bzw. Wohnumfeld hinsichtlich der wechselseitigen Wirkung "Mensch – Raum" aber auch über die Bewusstseinsschärfung der Bewohner für die eigenen Wohnbedürfnisse und jene der Mitbewohnenden.
Transforming Social Representations: A social psychology of common sense and science (Psychology Library Editions: Social Psychology)
by S. Caroline PurkhardtCommon sense, by definition, is familiar to us all. Science, for some of us, is more remote, yet it is not always clear what the connections are between these two ways of seeing the world. In this title, originally published in 1993, the author explores several related themes in social psychology to elucidate the way we understand the social construction of knowledge and the means by which we change social reality. From the perspective of a critique of social representations theory, the author argues that this necessitates a change of viewpoint from the individualistic and mechanistic assumptions of Cartesian science to the social and evolutionary perspective of a Hegelian framework. This not only emphasizes the cultural and historical dimensions of social phenomena but also illuminates the social and dynamic nature of individuals. As a consequence, the discipline of social psychology must itself be transformed, recognizing the active participation of scientists in the social construction of scientific knowledge. This title will be of interest to those working in social psychology, history and philosophy of science, and sociology.
