So You've Been Publicly Shamed
by Jon RonsonFrom the New York Times bestselling author of The Psychopath Test, a captivating and brilliant exploration of one of our world's most underappreciated forces: shame. 'It's about the terror, isn't it?' 'The terror of what?' I said. 'The terror of being found out.' For the past three years, Jon Ronson has travelled the world meeting recipients of high-profile public shamings. The shamed are people like us - people who, say, made a joke on social media that came out badly, or made a mistake at work. Once their transgression is revealed, collective outrage circles with the force of a hurricane and the next thing they know they're being torn apart by an angry mob, jeered at, demonized, sometimes even fired from their job. A great renaissance of public shaming is sweeping our land. Justice has been democratized. The silent majority are getting a voice. But what are we doing with our voice? We are mercilessly finding people's faults. We are defining the boundaries of normality by ruining the lives of those outside it. We are using shame as a form of social control. Simultaneously powerful and hilarious in the way only Jon Ronson can be, So You've Been Publicly Shamed is a deeply honest book about modern life, full of eye-opening truths about the escalating war on human flaws - and the very scary part we all play in it.From the Hardcover edition.

Soar: A Memoir
by Gail Campbell Woolley&“This is a book about life—about living it ravenously, fully, joyously, unendingly, even if you have a death sentence.&” —Donna Brazile, former chair, Democratic National Committee When Gail Campbell Woolley was seven, a pediatrician told her mother that Gail suffered from sickle cell anemia, a rare blood disease, and that she would be dead by age thirty-five. While others may have responded to this horrifying news by descending into a fog of self-pity, Gail went in the opposite direction. She decided to live an eventful, exciting life that ultimately included—despite a troubled home life and the systemic racism and sexism of the late twentieth century—academic success, an impressive career, a long and loving marriage, and the ability to leave her unmistakable stamp on every person she met. By the time she finally succumbed to her disease at age fifty-eight in 2015, she had ground that doctor&’s words into dust. Soar, written in the last two years of her life, is Woolley&’s powerfully inspiring story, and its publication checks the last item off her extraordinary bucket list, which also included traveling to every continent except Antarctica. Written in an engaging, no-nonsense voice with a directness that reflects her many years in journalism, Woolley&’s remarkable story not only will move readers to root for this irrepressible, quietly heroic woman but also will push readers to reassess their own approach to life. &“An inspiration for anyone confronting life&’s challenges. Gail has left a legacy of courage and compassion, and her memoir represents a voice that desperately needs to be heard in America right now.&” —Marc Morial, president and CEO, National Urban League
Sober Curious: The Blissful Sleep, Greater Focus, Limitless Presence, and Deep Connection Awaiting Us All on the Other Side of Alcohol
by Ruby WarringtonWould life be better without alcohol?It’s the nagging question more and more of us are finding harder to ignore, whether we have a “problem” with alcohol or not. After all, we yoga. We green juice. We meditate. We self-care. And yet, come the end of a long work day, the start of a weekend, an awkward social situation, we drink. One glass of wine turns into two turns into a bottle. In the face of how we care for ourselves otherwise, it’s hard to avoid how alcohol really makes us feel… terrible. How different would our lives be if we stopped drinking on autopilot? If we stopped drinking altogether? Really different, it turns out. Really better. Frank, funny, and always judgment free, Sober Curious is a bold guide to choosing to live hangover-free, from Ruby Warrington, one of the leading voices of the new sobriety movement. Drawing on research, expert interviews, and personal narrative, Sober Curious is a radical take down of the myths that keep so many of us drinking. Inspiring, timely, and blame free, Sober Curious is both conversation starter and handbook—essential reading that empowers readers to transform their relationship with alcohol, so we can lead our most fulfilling lives.

Sobre el amor: ¿Por qué el amor es amor? Las claves artísticas y psicológicas del sentimiento más universal
by Jonah LehrerEn Sobre el amor, Jonah Lehrer entreteje estudios científicos de psicología, análisis profundos sobre la salud y la felicidad, relatos históricos y personajes literarios, manuales sobre la crianza de los hijos y el lenguaje de las webs de citas para examinar en profundidad el impulso más misterioso e importante que determina y mueve nuestras vidas. El mito más peligroso sobre el amor es que resulta fácil, que nos dejamos llevar por el sentimiento y que a partir de ahí sigue su curso. Es posible medir la dopamina que generan los primeros síntomas de «enamoramiento», pero los vínculos afectivos y la entrega que duran décadas, o incluso más, continúan siendo un misterio. Este libro versa sobre ese misterio. El amor, sostiene Lehrer, no se cimienta únicamente en una pasión arrolladora, sino, y esto es lo más fascinante, en una serie de cualidades que deben cultivarse a lo largo de toda una vida. El amor nos confunde y determina, puede llegar a destruirnos y definirnos. Ha inspirado la poesía más sublime, ha configurado nuestras sociedades y creencias y gobierna nuestra biología. Desde el apego de los hijos a los padres, pasando por la manera en la que nos enamoramos de otra persona y por el amor que algunos profesan a su dios o a sus mascotas, hasta la manera en la que recordamos y lloramos el fin del amor, este libro se centra en un análisis que trata de abordarlo tanto en el largo plazo como en el día a día. ------- Hay dos leyes psicológicas que conforman gran parte de la experiencia humana y que existen por oposición entre sí. La primera ley es la costumbre. Cuando estamos expuestos repetidamente a un estímulo, poco a poco lo ignoramos. Por ejemplo, la ropa interior. ¿La sientes? ¿Eres consciente de que la llevas? La respuesta es no. La misma triste lógica se aplica a casi todos los placeres, desde el sabor del chocolate hasta el último artilugio de moda. El placer siempre desaparece, reemplazado por la indiferencia habitual. Pero la costumbre no lo arruina todo. Hay una segunda ley sobre la experiencia humana y se basa en lo que perdura. Entre tanto desvanecimiento hay placeres que persisten. Encontramos alegrías que nunca desaparecen. Conocemos gente que nunca se aburre. ¿Y que decimos acerca de estas cosas? Decimos que las amamos. "Amor" es otra forma de llamar a lo que nunca envejece. -------
Sobre el duelo
by Chimamanda Ngozi AdichieUna conmovedora reflexión acerca del duelo por la muerte de su padre de la mano de la mundialmente aclamada autora de Todos deberíamos ser feministas. En este emotivo y poderoso ensayo, que nace de un artículo publicado en The New Yorker, la autora nigeriana pone palabras al inenarrable grado de dolor causado por la repentina muerte de su padre en Nigeria: la crisis sanitaria por la pandemia de COVID-19 impidió que la autora pudiese salir de Estados Unidos para reunirse con su familia. En un intento por encontrar consuelo ante la sensación de vacío que la sacudió hasta la médula, Sobre el duelo es una breve pero inteligente y conmovedora crónica autobiográfica de las primeras etapas de la gestión de la pérdida, un revelador examen de la naturaleza del dolor, un tributo al padre que la llamaba «nwoke neli» («la que equivale a muchos hombres») y una profunda reflexión sobre la lengua y las tradiciones igbo. Este libro se enmarca en la más rabiosa y dolorosa actualidad: la autora escribe desde la certeza de ser sólo una más de entre los millones de personas en duelo, sobre las dimensiones culturales y familiares del mismo y, también, sobre la soledad y la ira inherentes a él. Sobre el duelo es un libro imprescindible para estos momentos. Y, sin embargo, resultará atemporal, duradero, y una adición indispensable al canon de la autora. En el mismo formato que Todos deberíamos ser feministas, el lector lo atesorará y compartirá más que nunca. La crítica ha dicho...«Adichie escribe para explorar la naturaleza del duelo colectivo durante la pandemia, sobre "ser uno de entre esos millones de personas en duelo, sobre las dimensiones familiares y culturales del duelo y, también, sobre la soledad y la ira que lo acompañan".»The Guardian «Una de las escritoras africanas más prometedoras de su generación.»The Guardian «Chimamanda es extremadamente hábil expresando ideas complejas [...], una mujer valiente, directa, con el don de llegar al corazón de las cosas.»Elvira Lindo «Una escritora universal.»El País «Una escritora que tiene mucho que decir.»The Times

Soccer in Mind: A Thinking Fan's Guide to the Global Game (Critical Issues in Sport and Society)
by Andrew M. GuestFrom the FIFA World Cup to pick-up games at your local park, soccer is the closest thing in our world to a universal entertainment. Many writers use this global popularity to describe the game’s winners and losers, but what happens when we use social science to explore how soccer intersects with culture, society, and the self? This book provides a thinking fan’s guide to the world’s most popular game, proposing a way of engaging soccer that sparks intellectual curiosity and employs critical consciousness. Using stories and data, along with ideas from sociology, psychology, and across the social sciences, it provides readers with new ways of understanding fanaticism, peak performance, talent development, and more. Drawing on concepts ranging from cognitive bias to globalization, it illuminates meanings of the game for players and fans while investigating impacts on our lives and communities. While it considers soccer cultures across the globe, the book also analyzes what makes U.S. soccer culture special, including its embrace of the women’s game. As a scholar, former minor league player and coach, and fan, Andrew Guest offers a distinctive perspective on soccer in society. Whatever name you call it, and whatever your interest in it, Soccer in Mind will enrich your own view of the one truly global game.
Sociaal-Emotionele Vragenlijst SEV
by J.D. van der Ploeg E. M. ScholteHandleiding van de SEV. De SEV is een instrument waarmee aan de hand van gedragsbeoordelingen op eenvoudige wijze kan worden nagegaan in hoeverre kinderen kernsymptomen van sociaal- emotionele problematiek vertonen. De vier clusters van sociaal- emotionele problematiek die daarbij worden onderscheiden zijn: aandachtstekort met hyperactiviteit, sociale gedragsproblematiek, angstig en stemmingsgestoord gedrag en autistisch gedrag. Afname is geïndiceerd bij kinderen die druk, agressief, oppositioneel, angstig, depressief of stereotypisch gedrag vertonen of die ernstige communicatieproblemen hebben. Indien kinderen met een sociaal-emotionele problematiek geen goede begeleiding krijgen, lopen zij de kans later ernstige aanpassingsstoornissen te ontwikkelen. Tijdige onderkenning van de problemen is dan ook van het grootste belang.

Social Action Art Therapy in a Time of Crisis
by Jamie BirdSocial Action Art Therapy in a Time of Crisis outlines theories and models of social action art therapy, identifies its application in times of crisis, and explores the ways in which art therapy can work effectively for individuals and groups experiencing crisis. Drawing upon various ecologies, climate psychology, and eco-art therapy, this book addresses various responses to climate change, including notions of belonging, the physicality of experience, and the role of imagination in creating alternative versions of the future. The author presents a social action approach to art therapy as a way of addressing the political and collective components of climate change as well as the individual and emotional components. To help explore what social action art therapy can offer in this time of crisis, the author illustrates examples that show how the ideas have been used in other moments of crisis, including asylum, refuge, and domestic abuse. This innovative book contributes to the development of contemporary art therapy practice and will be of interest to arts therapists, arts psychotherapists, expressive therapists, ecotherapists, ecopsychologists, arts-based researchers, and many more.
Social Aggression Among Girls
by Marion K. UnderwoodWhile several recent popular books address the topic of girls' "meanness" to one another, this volume offers the first balanced, scholarly analysis of scientific knowledge in this area. Integrating current research on emotion regulation, gender, and peer relations, the book examines how girls are socialized to experience and express anger and aggression from infancy through adolescence. Considered are the developmental functions of such behaviors as gossip, friendship manipulation, and social exclusion; consequences for both victims and perpetrators; and approaches to intervention and prevention. Presenting innovative research models and methods, this is an accessible and much-needed synthesis for researchers, professionals, and students. Key Features: * Hot topic, garnering coverage in general media (e.g., The New York Times Magazine) * Accessibly written, with examples clarifying abstract points * Covers and integrates both physical and social aggression
Social Amnesia: A Critique of Contemporary Psychology
by Russell JacobyRussell Jacoby defines social amnesia as society's repression of remembrance - society's own past. In this book, Jacoby excavates the critical and historical concepts that have fallen prey to the dynamic of a society that strips them both of their historical and critical content. Social Amnesia is an effort to remember what is perpetually lost under the pressure of society. It is simultaneously a critique of present practices and theories in psychology. Jacoby's new self-evaluation has the same sharp edge as the book itself, offering special insights into the evolution of psychological theory during the past two decades.In his probing, self-critical new introduction, Jacoby maintains that any serious appraisal of psychology or sociology, or any discipline, must seek to separate the political from the theoretical. He discusses how in the years since Social Amnesia was first published society has oscillated from extreme subjectivism to extreme objectivism, which feed off each other and constitute two forms of social amnesia: a forgetting of the past and a pseudo-historical consciousness. Social Amnesia contains a forceful argument for "thinking against the grain - an endeavor that remains as urgent as ever." It is an important work for sociologists, psychologists, and psychoanalysts.
Social Anthropology: A Psycho-Analytic Study in Anthropology and a History of Australian Totemism (Routledge Revivals)
by Géza RóheimNumerous have been the attempts to unveil what Andrew Lang called the Secret of the Totem, a question upon which Sir J. G. Frazer once said he had changed his views repeatedly and was prepared to change them with every new piece of evidence.Dr Róheim, a young Hungarian anthropologist, whose work had already attracted the attention of English authorities, surveys totemism in the light of psychoanalytic knowledge in his book Social Anthropology originally published in 1925. Freud and Rivers are pioneers in this field but Róheim’s work is the first attempt to submit a specific anthropological question to detailed psychoanalytical investigation. In result, it will be seen that the application of the investigations of unconscious mental processes in the individual to a study of the Australian native give a profound meaning and universal psychologic significance to customs whose understanding has hitherto baffled scholarship. The book is not a translation; it was written by Dr Róheim in English. Due to modern production methods, it has not been possible to include some fold-out maps within the book. Any purchasers of the book will be able to receive a free pdf of the relevant pages by contacting Routledge Customer Services. https://www.routledge.com/contacts/customer-service
