Current Controversies and Issues in Personality (Third Edition)
by Lawrence A. PervinIn this engaging book, Lawrence A. Pervin explores both the classic and more recent issues that define the field of personality psychology. Striking a careful balance between evolutionary and cultural perspectives, Pervin critically examines the issues that are the basis of much of the theory and research present in the field today and which are likely to be the basis for advances in the future. He presents an evenhanded coverage of current approaches to personality, and pays particular attention to the public policy implications of different theoretical views. Some of the fascinating controversies and debates you'll find in this book include: * Is Personality Stable Over the Life course? * The Nature of Human Nature: Culture and the Search for Universals * Mind, Brain, and Behavior: Psychology, Biology, and the Question of Reductionism * Is the Concept of the Self Useful and Necessary? * The Enterprise of Personality Research: How should it be Conducted?

by Patrick J. Carnes Kenneth M. AdamsThis is the first comprehensive volume of the clinical management of sex addiction. Collecting the work of 28 leaders in this emerging field, the editors provide a long-needed primary text about how to approach treatment with these challenging patients.

This is the first book distilling the experience of the leaders in this emerging field. With a focus on special populations, it also becomes a handy problem-solving tool. Readable, concise, and filled with useful interventions, it is a key text for a problem clinicians must be able to identify. It is destined to be a classic reference.

Living Through Loss: Interventions Across the Life Span
by Nancy R. Hooyman Betty J. KramerLiving Through Loss is the first book to identify the many ways in which people experience loss over the course of life and to discuss the interventions most effective at each stage of life. The authors' starting point is that loss comes in many forms and can include not only suffering the death of a person one loves but also giving birth to a child with disabilities, living with chronic illness, or being abused, assaulted, or otherwise traumatized. They approach loss from the perspective of the resilience model, which acknowledges the capacity of people to integrate loss into their lives, and write sensitively about the role of age, race, culture, sexual orientation, gender, and spirituality in a person's response to loss. More than a comprehensive source on loss, the volume is distinguished by the authors' beautiful use of clients' experiences-and their own-thus making their book definitive and indelible.
