Lying
by Sam HarrisAs it was in Anna Karenina, Madame Bovary, and Othello, so it is in life. Most forms of private vice and public evil are kindled and sustained by lies. Acts of adultery and other personal betrayals, financial fraud, government corruption-even murder and genocide-generally require an additional moral defect: a willingness to lie.In Lying, best-selling author and neuroscientist Sam Harris argues that we can radically simplify our lives and improve society by merely telling the truth in situations where others often lie. He focuses on "white" lies-those lies we tell for the purpose of sparing people discomfort-for these are the lies that most often tempt us. And they tend to be the only lies that good people tell while imagining that they are being good in the process.
Lying and Christian Ethics
by Christopher O. TollefsenLying and Christian Ethics defends the controversial "absolute view" of lying, which maintains that an assertion contrary to the speaker's mind is always wrong, regardless of the speaker's intentions. Whereas most people believe that a lie told for a good cause, such as protecting Jews from discovery by Nazis, is morally acceptable, Christopher Tollefsen argues that Christians should support the absolute view. He looks back to the writings of Augustine and Aquinas to illustrate that lying violates the basic human goods of integrity and sociality and severely compromises the values of religion and truth. He critiques the comparatively permissive views espoused by Cassian, Bonhoeffer, and Niebuhr and argues that lies often jeopardize the good causes for which they are told. Beyond framing a moral absolute against lying, this book explores the questions of to whom we owe the truth and when, and what steps we may take when we should not give it.
Lying, Cheating, Bullying and Narcissism: The Development of Self-Discipline and the Influence of Trumpism
by George G. BearThis vibrant book examines individual and societal factors contributing to the rise of lying, cheating, bullying, and narcissism, with emphasis on the influence of Trumpism and the valuing of “getting things done” over the importance of self-discipline and issues of morality. George Bear explores individual and environmental factors that influence the development of self-discipline. He examines reasons for the growing prevalence of lying, cheating, bullying, and narcissism and their underlying factors, and the role of parenting and peer relationships in their development. The volume highlights the critical roles that moral reasoning, moral emotions, and mechanisms of moral disengagement play in dishonest and harmful behavior. Lying, Cheating, Bullying, and Narcissism is for students and scholars of child development, parenting, psychopathology, and criminology; professionals in psychology, mental health, and education; as well as others interested in the prevalence and roots of lying, cheating, bullying, and narcissism in America.
Lying: A Metaphorical Memoir
by Lauren Slater"The beauty of Lauren Slater's prose is shocking," said Newsday about Welcome to My Country, and now, in this powerful and provocative new book, Slater brilliantly explores a mind, a body, and a life under siege. Diag-nosed as a child with a strange illness, brought up in a family given to fantasy and ambition, Lauren Slater developed seizures, auras, neurological disturbances--and an ability to lie. In Lying: A Metaphorical Memoir, Slater blends a coming-of-age story with an electrifying exploration of the nature of truth, and of whether it is ever possible to tell--or to know--the facts about a self, a human being, a life. Lying chronicles the doctors, the tests, the seizures, the family embarrassments, even as it explores a sensitive child's illness as both metaphor and a means of attention-getting--a human being's susceptibility to malady, and to storytelling as an act of healing and as part of the quest for love. This mesmerizing memoir openly questions the reliability of memoir itself, the trickiness of the mind in perceiving reality, the slippery nature of illness and diagnosis--the shifting perceptions and images of who we are and what, for God's sake, is the matter with us. In Lying, Lauren Slater forces us to redraw the boundary between what we know as fact and what we believe we create as fiction. Here a young woman discovers not only what plagues her but also what heals her--the birth of sensuality, her creativity as an artist--in a book that reaffirms how a fine writer can reveal what is common to us all in the course of telling her own unique story. About Welcome to My Country, the San Francisco Chronicle said, "Every page brims with beautifully rendered images of thoughts, feelings, emotional states." The same can be said about Lying: A Metaphorical Memoir.

L’Alzheimer: une maladie redoutable I
by Juan Moises de la Serna Bakrim NouryIssu d’une trilogie amplement consacrée à la maladie Alzheimer, ce livre a été conçu à la base de questionnements utiles. D’emblée un mot sur ses mérites pédagogiques : le livre adopte une démarche rationnelle simplifiée qui permet à tous les lecteurs concernés de comprendre le phénomène qui les accable, partant ontologiquement de la définition très fine en passant par la causalité pour enfin aboutir aux conséquences variées. En outre, son intelligence se traduit par une articulation des questionnements ‘’populaires’’ aux grands questionnements de la recherche contemporaine sur l’Alzheimer. Pour l’avoir lu et traduit, je peux affirmer que cet équilibre est réussi. Le livre est aussi utile et fiable quand il s’agit de diversifier les références aux solutions thérapeutiques ou celles concernant les résultats de l’état de l’art actuel en matière d’Alzheimer : dans ce sens bien précis, les données sont exposées avec un sens aigu de la critique qui permet non seulement de comprendre ‘’ce qui se fait’’ aux quatre coins du monde mais aussi de pouvoir adopter une vision claire sur ‘’ce qui peut être concrètement fait’’ afin de retarder voire même de guérir la dégénérescence des fonctions cognitives de la mémoire. D’autres apports seront certainement un atout pour les lecteurs concernés ou curieux: la distinction d’Alzheimer des autres démences, où il propose même une forme de diagnostic enrichi, une nouvelle méthode de prévention/d’anticipation publique et familiale très utile pour les proches par exemple. L’accent mis sur l’inefficacité pharmacologique est une autre voie de vulgarisation où les lecteurs sauront comment se situer face aux traitements médicamenteux actuellement disponibles. Enfin, trois pistes sont suggérées où l’argumentation du livre culmine avec des propositions claires : la piste génétique, la piste biologique et la piste psycholo

L’autre désinstitutionnalisation: Déficience intellectuelle à l’Hôpital Saint-Michel-Archange de Québec, 1951-2000 (21e – Société, histoire et cultures)
by M Hubert Larose-DutilL’autre désinstitutionnalisation explore l’histoire de la désinstitutionnalisation de la déficience intellectuelle au Québec. Depuis les années 1960, ce vaste mouvement de réforme a chamboulé l’organisation des services psychiatriques. Les longues périodes d’hospitalisation, vivement critiquées, devaient prendre fin. Désormais, l’institution ne serait plus un milieu de vie, mais bien seulement un lieu de traitement. Alors que la réforme bat son plein, les patientes et patients ayant un diagnostic de déficience intellectuelle tardent à quitter l’hôpital. D’année en année, ils représentent une part de plus en plus grande de la population institutionnalisée. À l’Hôpital Saint-Michel-Archange de Beauport, en banlieue de Québec, 19 % des patients et patientes avaient un diagnostic de déficience intellectuelle en 1970 contre 15 % en 1960.Comment furent vécues ces années de réforme par cette population dont la réintégration se fit attendre ? L’autre désinstitutionnalisation répond à cette question en plongeant dans les dossiers médicaux de quatorze patientes et patients de l’Hôpital Saint-Michel-Archange. C’est par les traces que laissèrent dans les archives de cet établissement Claude, Gaston, André, Bernard, Juliette, Monique, Denise, Raymond, Marie, Serge, Fernand, Réal, Marguerite et Pierre que cet ouvrage entend contribuer à une histoire par le bas de la déficience intellectuelle.

MATLAB Blues: How Behavioral Scientists and Others Can Learn From Mistakes for Better, Happier Programming
by David A. RosenbaumMATLAB Blues is an accessible, comprehensive introduction to the MATLAB computer programming language—a powerful and increasingly popular tool for students and researchers. Rosenbaum identifies many of the common mistakes and pitfalls associated with using MATLAB, and shows users how they can learn from these mistakes to be better, happier programmers. Each chapter systematically addresses one of the basic principles of the programming language, like matrices, calculations, contingencies, plotting, input-output, and graphics, and then identifies areas that are problematic, as well as potential errors that can occur. This not only provides the reader with the fundamental "scales and chords" that a MATLAB programmer needs to know, but also with a series of examples and explanations of how to avoid and remedy common mistakes. Accompanied by an array of sample code that can be used and manipulated in conjunction with the textbook, this book is a practical, insightful introduction to MATLAB which provides motivation and encouragement to those with little or no background in programming as well as to those with more advanced concerns. It is an invaluable resource for researchers and students undertaking courses in research methods, statistics, and programming.
MATLAB for Behavioral Scientists, Second Edition
by David A. Rosenbaum Jonathan Vaughan Brad WybleWritten specifically for those with no prior programming experience and minimal quantitative training, this accessible text walks behavioral science students and researchers through the process of programming using MATLAB. The book explores examples, terms, and programming needs relevant to those in the behavioral sciences and helps readers perform virtually any computational function in solving their research problems. Principles are illustrated with usable code. Each chapter opens with a list of objectives followed by new commands required to accomplish those goals. These objectives also serve as a reference to help readers easily relocate a section of interest. Sample code and output and chapter problems demonstrate how to write a program and explore a model so readers can see the results obtained using different equations and values. A web site provides solutions to selected problems and the book’s program code output and examples so readers can manipulate them as needed. The outputs on the website have color, motion, and sound. Highlights of the new edition include: •Updated to reflect changes in the most recent version of MATLAB, including special tricks and new functions. •More information on debugging and common errors and more basic problems in the rudiments of MATLAB to help novice users get up and running more quickly. •A new chapter on Psychtoolbox, a suite of programs specifically geared to behavioral science research. •A new chapter on Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) for user-friendly communication. •Increased emphasis on pre-allocation of memory, recursion, handles, and matrix algebra operators. The book opens with an overview of what is to come and tips on how to write clear programs followed by pointers for interacting with MATLAB, including its commands and how to read error messages. The matrices chapter reviews how to store and access data. Chapter 4 examines how to carry out calculations followed by a review of how to perform various actions depending on the conditions. The chapter on input and output demonstrates how to design programs to create dialogs with users (e.g., participants in studies) and read and write data to and from external files. Chapter 7 reviews the data types available in MATLAB. Readers learn how to write a program as a stand-alone module in Chapter 8. In Chapters 9 and 10 readers learn how to create line and bar graphs or reshape images. Readers learn how to create animations and sounds in Chapter 11. The book concludes with tips on how to use MATLAB with applications such as GUIs and Psychtoolbox.

MELANIE KLEIN
by Phyllis GrosskurthUntil recently underestimated in America, Melanie Klein was a leading figure in psychoanalytic circles from the 1920s until her death in 1960. Parent of object-relations theory, she saw the development of children, and of the female in particular, in a way that was both an extension of and a challenge to orthodox Freudian thinking. Now, drawing on a wealth of hitherto unexplored documents as well as extensive interviews with people who knew and worked with Klein, Phyllis Grosskurth has written a superb account of this important, complicated woman and her theories--theories that are still growing in influence both here and abroad. Melanie Klein was not only a highly original theorist and effective practitioner, but a thoroughly fascinating woman. This brilliant, definitive book on her life is a major contribution to psychoanalytic history.
