Travels with the Self: Interpreting Psychology as Cultural History (Psychoanalysis in a New Key Book Series)
by Philip CushmanTravels with the Self uses a hermeneutic perspective to critique psychology and demonstrate why the concept of the self and the modality of cultural history are so vitally important to the profession of psychology. Each chapter focuses on a theory, concept, sociopolitical or professional issue, philosophical problem, or professional activity that has rarely been critiqued from a historical, sociopolitical vantage point. Philip Cushman explores psychology’s involvement in consumerism, racism, shallow understandings of being human, military torture, political resistance, and digital living. In each case, theories and practices are treated as historical artifacts, rather than expressions of a putatively progressive, modern-era science that is uncovering the one, universal truth about human being. In this way, psychological theories and practices, especially pertaining to the concept of the self, are shown to be reflections of the larger moral understandings and political arrangements of their time and place, with implications for how we understand the self in theory and clinical practice. Drawing on the philosophies of critical theory and hermeneutics, Cushman insists on understanding the self, one of the most studied and cherished of psychological concepts, and its ills, practitioners, and healing technologies, as historical/cultural artifacts — surprising, almost sacrilegious, concepts. To this end, each chapter begins with a historical introduction that locates it in the historical time and moral/political space of the nation’s, the profession’s, and the author’s personal context. Travels with the Self brings together highly unusual and controversial writings on contemporary psychology that will appeal to psychoanalysts and psychotherapists, psychologists of all stripes, as well as scholars of philosophy, history, and cultural studies.
Treadmill of Production: Injustice and Unsustainability in the Global Economy
by Kenneth A. Gould David N. Pellow Allan SchnaibergSchnaiberg's concept of the treadmill of production is arguably the most visible and enduring theory to emerge in three decades of environmental sociology. Elaborated and tested, it has been found to be an accurate predictor of political-economic changes in the global economy. In the global South, it has figures prominently in the work of structural environmental analysts and has been used by many political-economic movements. Building new extensions and applications of the treadmill theory, this new book shows how and why northern analysts and governments have failed to protect our environment and secure our future. Using an empirically based political-economic perspective, the authors outline the causes of environmental degradation, the limits of environmental protection policies, and the failures of institutional decision-makers to protect human well-being.
Treasure Hunt
by Michael J. Silverstein John ButmanTwo essential business books in a handsome gift set In his consulting with dozens of leading companies, Michael J. Silverstein has interviewed thousands of consumers about what really drives their purchase decisions. His first book (with Neil Fiske), the acclaimed bestseller Trading Up, has taught a generation of marketers about the new luxury phenomenon. It explains why people happily pay a steep premium for goods and services that are emotionally satisfying, from cars to golf clubs to beauty products? and how smart companies are meeting their needs. His second book, Treasure Hunt, explores how the same middle-class people who are trading up at Victoria's Secret and Panera are going on treasure hunts at Costco and Home Depot. And why they are often getting as much emotional satisfaction in the discount stores as in the luxury stores. Both books are written with a unique blend of hard data and personal stories. Now they are available together as a specially priced boxed set. BACKCOVER: ?Trading Up is ? packed with insights on how shoppers think and behave. I found it incredibly smart and illuminating. ' ?David Brooks, author of Bobos in Paradise ?There is a treasure trove of premium advice and valuable information in Treasure Hunt for anyone in any business who wants to cash in on the trading up/trading down trend and avoid getting mired in the dwindling profit margins of the middle.

Treating Addictions: The Four Components
by An-Pyng Sun<i>Treating Addictions: The Four Components</i> offers a unique and coherent understanding of addiction. The book begins with a chapter discussing the framework of addiction and the four essential components of treatments—the fundamentals of addiction, co-occurring disorders, quality of life, and macro factors—and subsequent chapters elaborate on each component. Most currently available addiction treatment books present knowledge and skills in separate chapters and fail to integrate all chapters within a single framework that can weave all concepts into a meaningful tapestry. Using a unified framework, this book offers students a comprehensive skill set for treating addictions.
Treating Health Care: How the Canadian System Works and How It Could Work Better
by Raisa DeberCanada has been among the world leaders in recognizing the multiple factors that impact health. Focusing on Canada’s health care system, Raisa B. Deber provides brief descriptions of some key facts and concepts necessary to understand health care policy in Canada and place it in an international context. An accessible guide, Treating Health Care unpacks key concepts to provide informed discussions that help us understand and diagnose Canada’s health care system and to clarify which proposed changes are likely to improve it - and which are not. This book provides background information to clarify such concepts as: determinants of health; how health systems are organized and financed (including international comparisons); health economics; health ethics; and roles and responsibilities of different stakeholders, including government, providers, and patients. It then addresses some key issues, including equity, efficiency, access and wait times, quality improvement and patient safety, and coverage and payment models. Using analysis rather than advocacy, Deber provides a toolkit to help understand health care and health policy.
Treating Incest: A Multiple Systems Perspective
by Mary Jo Barrett Terry S TrepperThis timely book provides for the therapist working with cases of intrafamily child sexual abuse both a theoretical background and practical information for the treatment of incest and gives new insight into the complex problems associated with incest. With the enactment of more stringent child abuse reporting laws nationwide and increased public education about the problem, there has been a dramatic increase in the need for incest-related psychotherapy. Treating Incest is an important source of information about the assessment and treatment of the family that will enable clinicians to provide appropriate crisis intervention for families and make informed judgments about referrals, if necessary. The book&’s central theme is that effective treatment of incest requires a systemic approach because incestuous activity is the product of a problematic family, rather than the cause. The book is divided into two helpful sections: assessment issues and treatment issues and techniques.
Treating NVLD in Children
by John M. Davis Jessica BroitmanChildren with nonverbal learning disabilities (NVLD) have needs that can take many forms and may, over time, require consultation and collaboration with professionals from several fields.

Treatment of Sex Offenders
by D. Richard Laws William O'DonohueThis rigorous survey offers a comprehensive rethinking of the assessment and treatment of sexual offenders for a bold challenge to practitioners. It critiques what we understand about offenders and the mechanisms of offending behaviors, and examines how this knowledge can best be used to reduce offending and relapses. To this end, experts weigh the efficacy of common assessment methods and interventions, the value of prevention programs, and the validity of the DSM's classifications of paraphilias. This strengths/weaknesses approach gives professional readers a guide to the current state as well as the future of research, practice, and policy affecting this complex and controversial field. Included in the coverage: Strengths of actuarial risk assessment. Risk formulation: the new frontier in risk assessment and management. Dynamic risk factors and offender rehabilitation: a comparison of the Good Lives Model and the Risk-Need-Responsivity Model. The best intentions: flaws in sexually violent predator laws. Desistance from crime: toward an integrated conceptualization for intervention. From a victim/offender duality to a public health perspective. A call to clear thought and accurate action, Treatment of Sex Offenders will generate discussion and interest among forensic psychologists, psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, and social workers.
Tree Thieves: Crime and Survival in North America's Woods
by Lyndsie BourgonSHORTLISTED FOR THE COLUMBIA SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM J. ANTHONY LUKAS BOOK AWARD LONGLISTED FOR THE 2023 PEN/JOHN KENNETH GALBRAITH AWARD FOR NONFICTION FINALIST FOR THE NELLIE BY CHANTICLEER INTERNATIONAL BOOK AWARDS FOR JOURNALISTIC NON-FICTION A gripping investigation of the billion-dollar timber black market &“and a fascinating examination of the deep and troubled relationship between people and forests&” (Michelle Nijhuis, author of Beloved Beasts). There's a strong chance that chair you are sitting on was made from stolen lumber. In Tree Thieves, Lyndsie Bourgon takes us deep into the underbelly of the illegal timber market. As she traces three timber poaching cases, she introduces us to tree poachers, law enforcement, forensic wood specialists, the enigmatic residents of former logging communities, environmental activists, international timber cartels, and indigenous communities along the way. Old-growth trees are invaluable and irreplaceable for both humans and wildlife, and are the oldest living things on earth. But the morality of tree poaching is not as simple as we might think: stealing trees is a form of deeply rooted protest, and a side effect of environmental preservation and protection that doesn't include communities that have been uprooted or marginalized when park boundaries are drawn. As Bourgon discovers, failing to include working class and rural communities in the preservation of these awe-inducing ecosystems can lead to catastrophic results. Featuring excellent investigative reporting, fascinating characters, logging history, political analysis, and cutting-edge tree science, Tree Thieves takes readers on a thrilling journey into the intrigue, crime, and incredible complexity sheltered under the forest canopy.
Trees on Mars
by Hal NiedzvieckiThe future is big right now--for perhaps the first time, our society is more focused on what is going to happen in the future than what is happening right now. In Trees on Mars: Our Obsession with the Future, cultural critic and indie entrepreneur Hal Niedzviecki asks how and when we started believing we could and should "create the future." What is it like to live in a society utterly focused on what is going to happen next? Through visits to colleges, corporations, tech conferences, factories and more, Niedzviecki traces the story of how owning the future has become irresistible to us. In deep conversation with both the beneficiaries and victims of our relentless obsession with the future, Niedzviecki asks crucial questions: Where are we actually heading? How will we get there? And whom may we be leaving behind?nce-bucolic industry, to a group of Stanford undergraduates pulling all-nighters in an effort to produce the next must-have app, to a Michigan teacher struggling to integrate mandatory iPad use into her third-grade curriculum, and to a recently laid off auto worker being sent to state-sponsored retraining. Through these characters and others, Niedzviecki shows how future-obsession and future-anxiety are affecting real people.

Trendanalysen zur Weiterbildungsbeteiligung: Die selbstinitiierte Teilnahme an beruflicher Weiterbildung in Ost- und Westdeutschland 1991 bis 2018 (Theorie und Empirie Lebenslangen Lernens)
by Anika RosenkranzIn diesem Open-Access-Buch wird untersucht, welche Muster bzw. Veränderungen der selbstinitiierten Teilnahme an beruflicher Weiterbildung sich im Trend identifizieren lassen. Bisherige Analysen, die die Teilnahme Beschäftigter an beruflicher Weiterbildung differenziert nach Ost- und Westdeutschland im Trend betrachtet haben, verweisen auf regionalspezifische Muster. Diese Unterschiede werden punktuell vor dem Hintergrund ost-west-spezifischer Arbeitsmarktkontexte verortet, oft jedoch findet keine Kontextualisierung statt. Inwieweit ost-west-spezifische Entwicklungen der Berufs- und Arbeitsmarktstrukturen Einfluss auf motivationale Aspekte der Teilnahmeentscheidung Beschäftigter nehmen, stand bisher nicht im Fokus. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht daher die Teilnahmeselektivität Beschäftigter an selbstinitiierter beruflicher Weiterbildung vor dem Hintergrund ost-west-spezifischer Entwicklungen der Berufs- und Arbeitsmarktstrukturen. Angesichts sich verändernder Kontexte lassen sich veränderte Muster der Teilnahme im Zeitverlauf beobachten. Die Befunde verweisen zudem auf regionale Strukturdifferenzen, die Einfluss auf die selbstinitiierte Teilnahme an beruflicher Weiterbildung nehmen. Insgesamt zeigt sich eine für ostdeutsche Beschäftigte verringerte Teilnahmequote im Vergleich zu westdeutschen Beschäftigten.

Trends in Control and Decision-Making for Human–Robot Collaboration Systems
by Yue Wang Fumin ZhangThis book provides an overview of recent research developments in the automation and control of robotic systems that collaborate with humans. A measure of human collaboration being necessary for the optimal operation of any robotic system, the contributors exploit a broad selection of such systems to demonstrate the importance of the subject, particularly where the environment is prone to uncertainty or complexity. They show how such human strengths as high-level decision-making, flexibility, and dexterity can be combined with robotic precision, and ability to perform task repetitively or in a dangerous environment. The book focuses on quantitative methods and control design for guaranteed robot performance and balanced human experience from both physical human-robot interaction and social human-robot interaction. Its contributions develop and expand upon material presented at various international conferences. They are organized into three parts covering: one-human-one-robot collaboration; one-human-multiple-robot collaboration; and human-swarm collaboration. Individual topic areas include resource optimization (human and robotic), safety in collaboration, human trust in robot and decision-making when collaborating with robots, abstraction of swarm systems to make them suitable for human control, modeling and control of internal force interactions for collaborative manipulation, and the sharing of control between human and automated systems, etc. Control and decision-making algorithms feature prominently in the text, importantly within the context of human factors and the constraints they impose. Applications such as assistive technology, driverless vehicles, cooperative mobile robots, manufacturing robots and swarm robots are considered. Illustrative figures and tables are provided throughout the book. Researchers and students working in controls, and the interaction of humans and robots will learn new methods for human-robot collaboration from this book and will find the cutting edge of the subject described in depth.
