Psychologie und Klimakrise: Psychologische Erkenntnisse zum klimabezogenen Verhalten und Erleben (essentials)
by Marcel HuneckeAuf der Grundlage umweltpsychologischer Erkenntnisse werden Ansatzpunkte und Strategien zur Förderung nachhaltigen Verhaltens benannt. Eine sozial-ökologischen Transformation erfordert jedoch nicht nur die Veränderung von spezifischen Verhaltensweisen, sondern umfassende Veränderungen in den bestehenden Lebensstilen. Der Ansatz der psychischen Ressourcen verfolgt dieses Ziel durch die Berücksichtigung des subjektiven Wohlbefindens als zentrale Motivationsquelle für nachhaltiges Verhalten. Hierbei gilt es auch die durch die Klimakrise verursachten Gefühle der Macht- und Hilflosigkeit zu überwinden, um das individuelle und kollektive Engagement für den Klimaschutz zu stärken.
Psychologies in Revolution: Alexander Luria’s 'Romantic Science' and Soviet Social History (Mental Health in Historical Perspective)
by Hannah ProctorThis book situates the work of the Soviet psychologist and neurologist Alexander Luria (1902-1977) in its historical context and explores the 'romantic' approach to scientific writing developed in his case histories. Luria consistently asserted that human consciousness was formed by cultural and historical experience. He described psychology as the ‘science of social history’ and his ideas about subjectivity, cognition and mental health have a history of their own. Lines of mutual influence existed between Luria and his colleagues on the other side of the iron curtain, but Psychologies in Revolution also discusses Luria’s research in relation to Soviet history – from the October Revolution of 1917 through the collectivisation of agriculture and Stalinist purges of the 1930s to the Second World War and, finally, the relative stability of the Brezhnev era – foregrounding the often marginalised people with whom Luria’s clinical work brought him into contact. By historicising science and by focusing on a theoretical approach which itself emphasised the centrality of social and political factors for understanding human subjectivity, the book also seeks to contribute to current debates in the medical humanities.

It examines the impact of psychological research for public policymaking in economic, financial, and consumer sectors; in education, healthcare, and the workplace; for energy and the environment; and in communications.

Answering these questions and more, this team of authors, working across both academia and government, present this fully revised and updated reworking of Behavioral Insights for Public Policy.
