Richard J. Davidson, Klaus R. Scherer and H. Hill GoldsmithThis volume is a comprehensive roadmap to the burgeoning area of affective sciences, which now spans several disciplines. The Handbook brings together, for the first time, the various strands of inquiry and latest research in the scientific study of the relationship between the mechanisms of the brain and the psychology of mind. In recent years, scientists have made considerable advances in understanding how brain processes shape emotions and are changed by human emotion. Drawing on a wide range of neuroimaging techniques, neuropsychological assessment, and clinical research, scientists are beginning to understand the biological mechanisms for emotions. As a result, researchers are gaining insight into such compelling questions as: How do people experience life emotionally? Why do people respond so differently to the same experiences? What can the face tell us about internal states? How does emotion in significant social relationships influence health? Are there basic emotions common to all humans? This volume brings together the most eminent scholars in the field to present, in sixty original chapters, the latest research and theories in the field. The book is divided into ten sections: Neuroscience; Autonomic Psychophysiology; Genetics and Development; Expression; Components of Emotion; Personality; Emotion and Social Processes; Adaptation, Culture, and Evolution; Emotion and Psychopathology; and Emotion and Health. This major new volume will be an invaluable resource for researchers that will define affective sciences for the next decade.

El presente texto constituye un abordaje directo de una de las más discutidas hipótesis junguianas, el inconsciente colectivo, a través del estudio de tres problemas interrelacionados: la función religiosa de los inconscientes, y el problema de la psicologia practica y sus relaciones con la religion. La psicologia, asi entendida, solo se ocupa del fenomeno de la experiencia religiosa como actividad de la psique humana, es decir, de como se manifiestan en la mente del hombre las ideas religiosas, las ideas que este tiene de Dios, o del hecho de que no tenga ninguna. De este modo, los fenomenos religiosos no se presentan como una sublimacion, sino como expresiones de una autentica y legitima funcion de la psique. La psique religiosas son confesiones psiquicas que, en ultimo termino, obedecen a procesos inconscientes, pues la religion siempre se manifiesta como una relacion viviente con las actividades psiquicas que, en ultimo termino, obedecen a procesos inconscientes, pues la religion siempre se manifiesta como una relacion viviente con las actividades psiquicas de lo inconsciente. A la vez una contribucion a la tecnica de la asistencia psicologica y una valiosisima aportacion al saber contemporaneo, Psicologia y religion puede interesar a un amplio abanico de lectores, incluidos el psiquiatra, el psicoanalista, el psicoterapeuta, el estudios de la filosofia y, en general, cualquier lector no especializado preocupado por tales temas.

A rich source of authoritative content that supports reading and study in the field, The Oxford Handbook of Eating Disorders reviews current research and clinical developments through synthetic chapters written by experts from various fields of study and clinical backgrounds. Epidemiologic studies suggest that eating disorders are not only common but have increased in prevalence in recent decades, and this handbook refines and updates the state of research. The book is divided into four sections: phenomenology and epidemiology of the eating disorders, approaches to understanding the disorders, assessment and comorbidities of the disorders, and prevention and treatment. The first section deals with classification and epidemiology of the disorders, considerations for revisions to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, and the somewhat neglected topic of eating disorders in childhood and early adolescence.

This book contains a large collection of beautiful figures produced throughout the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century and that represent some characteristic examples of the early days of research in neuroscience. The main aim of this work is to demonstrate to the general public that the study of the nervous system is not only important for the many obvious reasons related to brain function in both health and disease, but also for the unexpected natural beauty that it beholds. This beauty has been discovered thanks to the techniques used to visualize the microscopic structure of the brain, a true forest of colorful and florid neural cells. As illustrated by his marvelous drawings, the studies of Santiago Ramn y Cajal (1852-1934) no doubt contributed more than those of any other researcher at the time to the growth of modern neuroscience. Thus, we have honored his name in the title of this book, even though the figures contained in the main body of the book are from 91 authors. Looking at the illustrations in this book the readers will not only marvel at Cajal's drawings but they will also find that many of the other early researchers that studied the nervous system were also true artists, of considerable talent and aesthetic sensibility. Thus, the present book contains numerous drawings of some of the most important pioneers in neuroscience, including Deiters, Klliker, Meynert, Ranvier, Golgi, Retzius, Nissl, Dogiel, Alzheimer, del Ro-Hortega and de Castro.

La muerte de un ser querido, en particular cuando es traumática, supone un desafío de gran envergadura que puede invadir a los afectados incluso después de que el impacto emocional de la pérdida se haya desvanecido. Pero el sentimiento de perdida puede tener muchos significados: una ruptura de pareja, la perdida de un trabajo, una discapacidad o la destruccion de un hogar. Aprender de la perdida expone la excesiva superficialidad y simplicidad de las visiones tradicionales sobre el duelo para desarrollar una nueva teoria que lo contempla como un proceso activo de reconstruccion de significado y de transformacion. Con historias reales de personas que se esfuerzan por superar sus perdidas, este libro ayuda a movilizar los recursos personales y sociales necesarios para paliar el dolor.

¿De dónde surge el mal y por qué? Tanto en los relatos bíblicos como en la teogonías griegas aparece ya la sospecha de que el caos, la violencia y la destrucción no sólo son el origen de todas las cosas, sino que permanecen latentes en la civilizacion. Por otro lado, la pregunta de por que existe el mal enfrenta a la humanidad al tema de la libertad y al hecho de que el ser humano sea, como se ha dicho, el animal no fijado, el que tiene la posibilidad de elegir. En efecto, con mayor o menor intensidad, todos los hombres han tenido que afrontar la expericencia del mal en algun momento de su vida.

The concept of sexual addiction has gained increasing recognition in the academic and healthcare communities since the 1990s. It has also captured the attention of the media, where there has been much debate over whether it can truly be described as an addiction. What is certain is that many people struggle with out of control sexual behaviour, which takes over their lives and has harmful consequences for their relationships, careers and finances.The Routledge International Handbook of Sexual Addiction brings together a comprehensive range of perspectives on sexual addiction from a worldwide selection of scholars and therapists. It sets out to define sexual addiction and to study its causes from a range of different psychological perspectives. A series of presentations of sexual addiction are outlined, including internet sexual addiction and the relationship between paraphilias and sex addiction. The handbook considers both individual and group treatment strategies, drawing on a wide range of approaches, including cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness and 12-step programmes. The book studies sex addiction in specific populations including women, adolescents and men who have sex with men. Finally, it considers some of the alternative discourses surrounding the concept of sexual addiction. This is the first comprehensive reference book to bring together global viewpoints on advances in research, theory and practice in one volume. This handbook provides an essential guide for academics and students of psychotherapy, counselling, nursing, addiction, sexualities, social work and health and social care, as well as professionals in practice and in training working with sexual addiction and related issues.
