The Transnational Legacy of Jean Piaget: A View from the 21st Century (Latin American Voices)
by Regina Helena de Freitas Campos Érika Lourenço Marc J. RatcliffThis book presents a collection of studies on the circulation of Jean Piaget’s ideas and works between Europe and Latin America, and how this transnational legacy influenced different fields of research and practice, such as psychology, education and philosophy. The volume brings together contributions presented at the International Colloquium Jean Piaget in Brazil and Latin America, held during the 38th Annual Helena Antipoff Meeting, organized by the Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil, in collaboration with the University of Geneva, Switzerland. The book is organized in three parts. Chapters in the first part analyze Piaget’s role as a builder of an international network in psychology, education and peace promotion in the 20th century, with a special focus on the circulation of his ideas and works between Switzerland and France. The second part focuses on historical and contemporary dialogues, conflicts and controversies between Piaget and other authors, such as Henri Wallon, Carl Rogers, Jürgen Habermas, and, especially, Helena Antipoff, the Russian-Brazilian psychologist and educator who was one of the first researchers to introduce Piaget in Brazil and to establish a bridge between Latin America and the Geneva school of psychological and educational sciences. Finally, chapters in the third part of the book explore different aspects of the reception and appropriation of Piaget’s works and ideas in the Brazilian context. The Transnational Legacy of Jean Piaget: A View from the 21st Century will be of interest to researchers in different fields within the human and social sciences, such as developmental, educational and school psychologists; educators; philosophers and historians of psychology and education interested in understanding how Piaget’s progressist ideas have contributed to the development of psychological and educational sciences in Europe and Latin America. Some chapters of this book were originally written in Portuguese and French and translated into English with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content.
Transnational Popular Psychology and the Global Self-Help Industry: The Politics of Contemporary Social Change
by Daniel Nehring Emmanuel Alvarado Eric C. Hendriks Dylan KerriganSelf-help books aim to empower their readers and deliver happiness and personal fulfilment but do they really live up to this? This book offers a fresh perspective on self-help culture and popular psychology. Research on this subject matter has generally focused on the USA and the Global Northwest. In contrast, this book explores the production, circulation and consumption of self-help books from an innovative transnational perspective. Case studies on Trinidad, Mexico, the People's Republic of China, the UK and the USA explore the roles which self-help's therapeutic narratives of self and social relationships play in the contemporary world. In this context, the book questions the extent to which self-help fulfils its promise of individual autonomy and contentment. At the same time, it addresses debates about contemporary political change under transnational processes of cultural standardization.

Transsexuality and the Art of Transitioning: A Lacanian approach
by Oren GozlanWinner of The American Board and Academy of Psychoanalysis (ABAPsa) Book Prize for 2015 Transsexuality and the Art of Transitioning: A Lacanian approach presents a startling new way to consider psychoanalytic dilemmas of sexual difference and gender through the meeting of arts and the clinic. Informed by a Lacanian perspective that locates transsexuality in the intermediate space between the clinic and culture, Oren Gozlan joins current conversations around the question of sexual difference with the insistence that identity never fully expresses sexuality and, as such, cannot be replaced by gender. The book goes beyond the idea of gender as an experience that gives rise to multiple identities and instead considers identity as split from the outset. This view transforms transsexuality into a particular psychic position, able to encounter the paradoxes of transitional experience and the valence of phantasy and affect that accompany aesthetic conflicts over the nature of beauty and being. Gozlan brings readers into the enigmatic qualities of representation as desire for completion and transformation through notions of tension, difference and aesthetics through examining the artwork of Anish Kapoor and Louise Bourgeois and the role played by confusion in the aesthetics of transformation in literature and memoir. Each chapter of the book presents a productive take on understanding the psychoanalytic demand to sustain and consider the dilemma that the unconscious presents to the knowledge and recognition of gender. Fundamentally, this work understands transsexuality as a creative act, rich with desire and danger, in which thinking of the transsexual body as both an analytic and a subjective object helps us to reveal the creativity of sexuality. Ideal for psychoanalysts, psychologists, psychiatrists and social workers as well as students of psychoanalysis, cultural studies, literature studies and philosophy, Transsexuality and the Art of Transitioning offers a unique insight into psychoanalytic approaches to transsexuality and the question of assuming a position in gender.

The Trap of Proximity Violence: Research and Insights into Male Dominance and Female Resistance
by Ignazia BartholiniThis book aims at shifting the emphasis from a general vision of gender-based violence to a more opaque, yet equally destructive one, that related to "proximity violence".The first type of violence is exercised in multiple situations and in the generality of relationships experienced by people involving others who are both strangers to and intimate with each other. Proximity violence provides and includes a fiduciary kind of "proximity", of "dependent intimacy", where the trust that the victim places in the other (her tormentor) favours the exercise of violence itself, allowing it to take place, thus making it practically imperceptible when not actually normal, in extreme cases.In turn, this confidence is comparable to "a veil of Maja" which, in conditions of vulnerability typical of victims, attenuates the consequences of the violence undergone or the omens of what becomes violent action.The conceptual triad: proximity violence, vulnerability, resistance-resilience is explored here, in the three main chapters and in the details aimed at identifying, in the final chapter, the mutual interconnections. This book will be of particular interest and use to undergraduate and graduate students of sociology and gender studies

Trapped in the Mirror
by Elan ColombIn this compelling book, Elan Golomb identifies the crux of the emotional and psychological problems of millions of adults. Simply put, the children of narcissist -- offspring of parents whose interest always towered above the most basic needs of their sons and daughters -- share a common belief: They believe they do not have the right to exist. The difficulties experienced by adult children of narcissists can manifest themselves in many ways: for examples, physical self-loathing that takes form of overeating, anorexia, or bulimia; a self-destructive streak that causes poor job performance and rocky personal relationships; or a struggle with the self that is perpetuated in the adult's interaction with his or her own children. These dilemmas are both common and correctable, Dr. Golomb tells us. With an empathic blend of scholarship and case studies, along with her own personal narrative of her fight for self, Dr. Golomb plumbs the depths of this problem, revealing its mysterious hold on the affairs of otherwise bright, aware, motivated, and worthy people. Trapped in the Mirror explores. * the nature of the paralysis and lack of motivation so many adults feel * stress and its role in exacerbating childhood wrongs * why do many of our relationships seem to be "reruns" of the past * how one's body image can be formed by faulty parenting * how anger must be acknowledge to be overcome * and, most important, how even the most traumatized self can be healed. Rooted in a profoundly humanist traditional approach, and suffused with the benefit of the latest knowledge about intrafamily relationships, Trapped in the Mirror offers more than the average self-help book; it is truly the first self-heal book for millions.
Trash: An Innocent Girl. A Shocking Story of Squalor and Neglect.
by Britney Fuller‘To start: it was just me and my mom. I am an only child, and she is a single parent. My mother is a trash hoarder. Ever since I can remember the house was always messy and stunk. At around age 9ish I noticed that something was wrong. I started throwing bags of trash away every day, just to have my mom freak out when she got home. We didn’t eat at home anymore because the fridge was disgusting, and she used the sink as a trash can, so it got clogged. We always ate out, we never had a home-cooked meal, and I’ve never had a family dinner at a dinner table. I had a stool in the corner of the living room. That is what I sat on, and that alone. I kept that corner as clean as I could. Made sure there was foot space, and that there wasn’t dust on the walls. That was my corner, my space. It never seemed to matter though, eventually that spot would get overrun with trash too...’Trash is Britney Fuller's shocking account of growing up in the house of a hoarder.

Trastorno bipolar: el enemigo invisible ( Manual de tratamiento psicológico)
by Ana González IsasiEl objetivo principal de esta manual es ofrecer un programa de tratamiento psicológico que, junto al tratamiento farmacológico, reduzca las hospitalizaciones y las recaídas, y mejore la calidad de vida y la recuperación funcional de los pacientes con trastorno bipolar o con trastorno bipolar refractario.El tratamiento farmacológico ha sido, hasta hace pocos años, el único tratamiento ofertado a los pacientes con un trastorno bipolar, mostrándose insuficiente en una gran proporción de casos. En los últimos años se ha investigado la influencia de diferentes terapias psicosociales en el trastorno bipolar, apostando por la necesidad de un programa estructurado que combinara técnicas de distintos modelos. Por ello, presentamos un programa de tratamiento psicológico de veinte sesiones para ser aplicado en formato grupal, que integra psicoeducación con terapia cognitivo-conductual y añade técnicas de otros modelos. Este programa se desarrolla en el medio clínico habitual de los pacientes, por lo que puede ponerse en práctica tanto en hospitales como en centros de salud mental. Este manual pretende ofrecer a los profesionales un amplio repertorio de estrategias útiles y prácticas para mejorar la evolución de nuestros pacientes. El presente volumen se completa con la obra Ojos que si ven. Soy Bipolar. (Diez entrevistas) (Ed. Desclée De Brouwer. Colección Serendipity.

Trauer in Zeiten der Corona-Krise: Eine qualitative Untersuchung zum Trauererleben weiblicher Adoleszenter während der Covid-19-Pandemie (BestMasters)
by Davina KlevinghausDie Covid-19-Pandemie tangiert das Alltagserleben zahlreicher junger Menschen in Deutschland mitunter gravierend. Wie kann es unter diesen Umständen gelingen, die Trauer nach dem Verlust einer nahestehenden Person in ein von Unabwägbarkeiten und radikalen Veränderungen geprägtes Leben zu integrieren? Welche Belastungen und Ressourcen rücken in Anbetracht der ubiquitären Bedrohung durch das Coronavirus besonders in den Fokus? Auf diese Fragen sowie auf weitere Spezifika des Trauererlebens weiblicher Adoleszenter im Zuge der Pandemie wird - rekurrierend auf Bezugstheorien der Trauer- und Stressforschung - der Schwerpunkt der vorliegenden Arbeit gerichtet. Die geführten Interviews deuten auf erhebliche interindividuelle Unterschiede im Pandemie- und Verlusterleben sowie in den Verarbeitungsformen der eigenen Trauer hin. Zugleich lassen sich zahlreiche geteilte Erfahrungen rekonstruieren. Insofern bieten die Analysen einen grundlegenden Reflexionsanlass im Hinblick auf die Partizipationsmöglichkeiten junger Menschen, den Zugang zu trauerbezogenen Unterstützungsangeboten sowie auf den gesamtgesellschaftlichen Umgang mit Sterben, Tod und Trauer.

Trauma: Explorations In Memory
by Cathy CaruthBecause traumatic events are unbearable in their horror and intensity, they often exist as memories that are not immediately recognizable as truth. Such experiences are best understood not only through the straightforward acquisition of facts but through a process of discovering where and why conscious understanding and memory fail. Literature, according to Cathy Caruth and others, opens a window on traumatic experience because it teaches readers to listen to what can be told only in indirect and surprising ways. Sociology, film, and political activism can also provide new ways of thinking about and responding to the experience of trauma. In Trauma and Memory, a distinguished group of analysts and critics offer a compelling look at what literature and the new approaches of a variety of clinical and theoretical disciplines bring to the understanding of traumatic experience. Combining two highly-acclaimed special issues of American Imago edited by Caruth, this interdisciplinary collection of essays and interviews will be of interest to analysts and critics concerned with the notion of trauma and the problem of interpretation and, more generally, to those interested in current discussions of subjects such as child abuse, AIDS, and the effects of historical atrocities such as the Holocaust. Contributions by: Georges Bataille, Harold Bloom, Laura Brown, Cathy Caruth, Kai Erikson, Shoshana Felman, Henry Krystal, Claude Lanzmann, Dori Laub, Kevin Newmark, Onno van der Hart, and Bessel van der Kolk. Interviews with: Robert Jay Lifton, Gregg Bordowitz, Douglas Crimp, and Laura Pinsky
