The Trinity of Trauma: Ignorance, Fragility, and Control is structured as a trilogy. This book includes the first two parts: Volume I, The Evolving Concept of Trauma, and Volume II, The Concept and Facts of Dissociation in Trauma, which are predominantly conceptual, theoretical, and empirical in nature.Volume I aims to overcome conceptual flaws that have plagued the trauma field to date. It proposes new definitions of trauma and derivative concepts as well as a dimension of trauma-related disorders. It suggests that individuals and their environment constitute, depend on, and are relative to each other. Volume I unites two groups of trauma-related disorders that were previously contrasted in psychiatric history under various names such as "melancholia" versus "hysteria", "traumatic neurosis" versus "traumatic hysteria", and "posttraumatic stress disorder" versus "dissociative disorders". It also mends the "dissociation" of dissociative and conversion disorders.Volume II analyzes and defines the concepts of "personality", "self", "dissociation in trauma", and "dissociative parts". It explores and documents the biopsychosocial features of different prototypical dissociative parts in traumatized individuals. Important features of these parts also characterize other players in traumatization, stretching from perpetrators to society at large.

Despite its many benefits, religion can be a source of internal struggle. God seems to be distant or punishing. People feel anger toward God in the face of life events, particularly experiences connected with suffering, injustice, and personal disappointments. The study focuses on three types of religious struggle: guilt and fear of not being forgiven by God, negative emotions toward God, and negative social interactions related to religion. The study examines the predictors and consequences of struggle in the context of psychological well-being. The following issues are addressed: dependence of struggle from personality traits, parental attitudes, humility, and religiosity, relationships of struggles with the indicators of wellbeing in the general population, and people coping with stress.

Biologism the idea that the science of biology supplies the means to exhaustively explain psychological processes has become vastly popular in recent decades. It can be shown that the idea is illusory on fundamental and a-priori grounds. Several fields of inquiry are described, where the biologistic project has demonstrably failed, like, for example, heritability estimates for mental traits (like intelligence). It is argued as well that biologism is just a further instance of an older, more comprehensive and equally illusory concept: psychology as a natural science (a science that produces generally accepted basic facts, for example the creation of a psychological risk factor for coronary disease). It is shown that psychology, masquerading as a natural science, as it largely does, may create serious societal problems like, for example, its misuse for racist purposes. The peculiar use of methodology in psychology is also documented.

Este libro pretende sensibilizar e invitar al lector a reflexionar sobre el crítico y complejo problema social que significa la violencia doméstica e intrafamiliar hacia la mujer por razón de género, asi como se enfatiza la obligacion del Estado de actuar con la debida diligencia para prevenir, investigar, sancionar, juzgar y ofrecer reparacion integral frente a los actos de violencia, abuso y discriminacion practicados contra las mujeres en el seno de la familia, no solamente basado en genero, sino tambien a multiples factores que se sustentan en las persistentes desigualdades historicas y estructurales existentes en nuestra sociedad y en las comunidades. Asimismo, se señala la importancia de implementar politicas publicas de proteccion adecuadas, dignas y efectivas, que respondan al reclamo de la poblacion femenina, postulando asi la urgencia de un cambio de conciencia social para hacer frente a este fenomeno persistente, generalizado e inaceptable, que aqueja diariamente a millares de hogares en todo el mundo, independientemente de la cultura, religion, etnias o razas, clases sociales, niveles de educacion o edad. En este contexto, vale recalcar el aumento exponencial de la violencia hacia las mujeres perpetrada en el ambito de las relaciones domesticas, familiares o intimas de afecto, debido a la pandemia de COVID-19. A este respecto, el Secretario General de las Naciones Unidas ha instado a todos los paises que adopten medidas contra el estremecedor repunte de la violencia domestica a raiz del confinamiento y aislamiento global, con el fin de combatir la pandemia por COVID-19 y sus efectos en la sociedad. De ahi se infiere con mayor claridad que, la violencia domestica e intrafamiliar hacia la mujer por razon de genero no se trata de un problema privado, pero, si de una cuestion de orden publico y una grave violacion de los derechos humanos y libertades fundamentales, que afecta de manera desproporcionada a este colectivo especialmente vulnerable. Ademas, conviene advertir que, incluso antes de instaurada la actual situacion de pandemia, las cifras mundiales con relacion a esta modalidad delictiva eran realmente muy alarmantes. Es mas, la violencia practicada contra las mujeres sigue siendo una gran amenaza para la salud publica mundial frente a la situacion actual de pandemia, lo que ha incrementado los casos de violencia domestica e intrafamiliar contra la mujer perpetrada por compañeros intimos. De eso se desprende la necesidad de poner en marcha medidas urgentes de lucha contra la violencia infligida hacia la mujer en tiempos de pandemia, incluyendo los planes de preparacion y respuesta, para asi proporcionar un acceso asequible e igualitario a los servicios esenciales en el sector de atencion sanitaria, servicios sociales, y los sectores policial y judicial, los que pueden mitigar de manera significativa las consecuencias que tiene este tipo delictivo sobre la integridad fisica, psiquica y moral de las victimas.

Die Psychologie als Fach, wie es heute an Universitaten angeboten wird, hat seit ihrer Entstehung im 19. Jahrhundert groe Anstrengungen unternommen, eine den Naturwissenschaften vergleichbare quantitative Wissenschaft zu sein. Manfred Velden stellt an einer Reihe von Beispielen dar, dass es sich dabei um eine Maskerade handelt, bei der naturwissenschaftliche Methoden benutzt werden, ohne dass es zu entsprechend verlasslichen Ergebnissen kommt. Die Auswirkungen dieser Art von Wissenschaft waren zum Teil geradezu verheerend, so zum Beispiel im Zusammenhang mit Immigration, Zwangssterilisierung, der Zulassung zur Universitat oder der Debatte uber Rassenunterschiede.

Leading experts describe the state-of-the-art in developing and constructing psychometric testsThis latest volume in the series Psychological Assessment Science and Practice describes the current state-of-the-art in test development and construction. The past 10-20 years have seen substantial advances in the methods used to develop and administer tests. In this volume many of the worlds leading authorities collate these advances and provide information about current practices, thus equipping researchers and students to successfully construct new tests using the best modern standards and techniques. The first section explains the benefits of considering the underlying theory when designing tests, such as factor analysis and item response theory. The second section looks at item format and test presentation. The third discusses model testing and selection, while the fourth goes into statistical methods that can find group-specific bias. The final section discusses topics of special relevance such as multi-trait multi-state analyses and development of screening instruments.

The understanding of and adherence to professional ethics is fundamental in navigating the moral encounters and dilemmas that all psychologists face in their daily work, whether in research or professional practice. Core values and principles remain stable. However, as more complex and conflicting societal contexts come into play, the individual psychologist and the professional community need support in upholding a solid moral integrity. The volume is a welcome resource for any psychologist or student wanting to foresee, prevent, and professionally manage, in an ethically responsible way, the moral challenges that arise. The framework for this timely, second edition remains the Meta-code of Ethics of the European Federation of Psychologists Associations (EFPA), which is an important asset in addressing the challenges faced by the profession now and in the coming years. The discussions of the principles on the meta-code are further developed and the authors have extended the number and types of practical examples to vividly illustrate ethical challenges and dilemmas faced. Read, discuss, and evaluate your practice.

In The Burden of Heritage: Hauntings of Generational Trauma on Black Lives, Aileen Alleyne explores the unheeded dimensions of individual and collective identity trauma. She expands on her striking concept, the internal oppressor, that inhibits self-belief, full agency, and potential. She reworks the psychoanalytic concept of hauntings, separating it from Freuds interpretation as unconscious repression, and instead presents it as a living and conscious element of the black trauma burden. To break the cycle of generational trauma, Alleyne suggests an active process of separation from archaic attachments, and engagement in intentional modes of transformation.Alleyne makes use of her own experiences throughout, alongside therapeutic suggestions, approaches, and theoretical handles for steadying the practitioner in the consulting room. The book weaves the personal, historical, sociopolitical, and theoretical, and includes countless observational examples, clinical vignettes, and case material.The Burden of Heritage offers effective tools to practitioners who work therapeutically with black and minority ethnic clients, and highlights ways to strengthen critical enquiry for deeper conceptual and theoretical understanding of generational trauma.

Every psychotherapist will be familiar with what it means to experience the hatred and despair of their most vulnerable patients in the midst of a psychotherapy session. Most often these patients will manage to express their feelings verbally, but what about those who never developed the capacity to speak? Or those who are capable of talking, but carry a complex range of unprocessed embodied feelings that cannot be verbally expressed? Some patients must rely on another type of language in order to communicate their dissociative states of mind.Primitive Bodily Communications explores how the talking cure can still work when words fail and the body talks. Non-verbal communication can be thought of as a form of body language and, even though this is a topic not frequently discussed, many practitioners have experienced working with people who communicate through the use of their bodies. The book does not refer to bodily communications as primitive because we see them as inferior to verbal language, but simply because they point to the beginnings of psychological development, to primary ways of being and relating, as well as to enduring aspects of ourselves.The contributors explore the topic of primitive bodily communications in the context of intellectual disability, eating disorders and bodily neglect, focusing on the communicative aspect of bodily expressions within the therapeutic relationship. A wide spectrum of clinical cases illustrates how these patients can reach a state of better physical and emotional containment and, when possible, of verbal communication.

El lector interesado en conocer cómo se produce el desarrollo humano, cómo se construye el psiquismo, dispone de una abrumadora bibliografía. El profesor Delval, al elaborar esta obra sobre el desarrollo humano, asume la tarea de presentar el tema con encomiable sencillez, con la finalidad de que resulte accesible a aquellas personas que, sin tener conocimientos de la materia, o disponiendo solo de conocimientos dispersos o fragmentarios, buscan una vision mas unitaria: se trata, pues, de una obra valida para los estudiantes que se inician y para un creciente nucleo de lectores interesados por la genesis de las ideas.
