Le has entregado tu corazón. Trabaja contigo. Le votas en las elecciones. Es un psicópata, pero tú no lo sabes. ¿Quieres aprender cómo identificarlo, manejarlo y defenderte?Se estima que alrededor de un 1 por ciento de la poblacion se encuentra en el espectro alto de la psicopatia. Toda persona esta capacitada para detectar y neutralizar a un psicopata integrado, siempre y cuando disponga del conocimiento adecuado y haga un uso inteligente de las emociones (en especial del coraje) para hacerles frente. Con mas de veinte años de investigacion, Vicente Garrido desmonta mitos y brinda un analisis claro y accesible sobre el perfil del psicopata infiltrado, aquel que no comete delitos graves de violencia, pero se camufla, manipula y causa un daño significativo en la vida personal y en las instituciones de la sociedad. El experto criminologo te ofrece aqui las herramientas necesarias para reconocerlo y defenderte de el. Gracias a sus recomendaciones practicas y al relato de casos reales, aprenderas a identificar sus actitudes y modos de actuar, mejorar tus relaciones y entornos laborales y reconocer a los politicos con rasgos importantes de psicopatia, contribuyendo asi a una sociedad mas sana y segura.

Covering basic theory, new research, and intersections with adjacent fields, this is the first comprehensive reference work on cognitive control our ability to use internal goals to guide thought and behavior. * Draws together expert perspectives from a range of disciplines, including cognitive psychology, neuropsychology, neuroscience, cognitive science, and neurology * Covers behavioral phenomena of cognitive control, neuroanatomical and computational models of frontal lobe function, and the interface between cognitive control and other mental processes * Explores the ways in which cognitive control research can inform and enhance our understanding of brain development and neurological and psychiatric conditions

The Handbook of Cognition provides a definitive synthesis of the most up-to-date and advanced work in cognitive psychology in a single volume. The editors have gathered together a team of world-leading researchers in specialist areas of the field, both traditional and `hot' new areas, to present a benchmark - in terms of theoretical insight and advances in methodology - of the discipline. This book contains a thorough overview of the most significant and current research in cognitive psychology that will serve this academic community like no other volume.

¿Quieres ser feliz? Si es así, sigue leyendo. ¡Este libro tiene todas las respuestas! Pues no, lo sentimos, no es cierto, pero tiene algunas preguntas muy interesantes, y al menos alguna respuesta que tambien lo es. En El cerebro feliz el neurocientifico Dean Burnett profundiza en nuestro ser mas privado para investigar que causa la felicidad, de donde viene y por que estamos tan desesperados por aferrarnos a ella. Las preguntas que plantea son, precisamente, las que abordan una parte importante de lo que significa ser un humano moderno.

Breviario de los vencidos, escrito en París entre 1940 y 1946, es el sexto y último libro que Cioran escribió en rumano. Tras una corta estancia en Alemania como becario y una fugaz experiencia como profesor de filosofia en un instituto de Brasov, que el propio autor no dudo en calificar de catastrofica, Cioran se instala definitivamente en la capital de Francia. A partir de entonces escribira todos sus libros en frances. No deja de resultar un poco estremecedor imaginarse a este antiprofeta del siglo XX mientras pasea su soledad por las noches de Paris en uno de los momentos mas terribles de la reciente historia de esta ciudad. () El mero hecho de ser es tan grave que, comparado con el, Dios es pura bagatela.Con apenas treinta años, cuando empieza la redaccion de este poco convencional breviario, su autor ya es plenamente dueño de la serie de obsesiones que no dejaran de acompañarle, a el y a sus numerosos lectores: el esteticismo que hace del arte la unica excusa para seguir en este mundo; el nihilismo que busca en el goce del instante el unico absoluto o, en fin, la nostalgia de una vida fuerte en el sentido mas pagano del termino.

Esta obra, una de las más influyentes del pensamiento contemporáneo, elabora una teoría del amor que se centra en la necesidad profunda con que se enfrenta universalmente el hombre; la de superar y trascender a la propia vida individual.Un fracaso absoluto en satisfacer tal necesidad puede conducir a la locura; una satisfaccion plena de la misma solo se encuentra en el amor. ¿Y que es el amor? Fromm lo concibe no solo como una relacion personal especifica, sino como una actitud peculiar del caracter maduro que se presenta en diversas formas: amor fraternal, materno, erotico, amor a uno mismo, a mor a Dios... El autor parte de la premisa de que el amor no es un fenomeno accidental y mecanico que simplemente se experimenta. Es, por el contrario, un arte, algo que requiere un aprendizaje. Asi, el lector familiarizado con otras obras de Fromm encontrara aqui el mismo halito vital, una profundidad en el discurso que no excluye una gran sencillez en la exposicion.

Obra en cuatro tomos que integra un sistema teórico completo y accesible con la idea de dar respuesta a una amplia variedad de problemas humanos, intensos y acuciantes.

This collection addresses issues related to families and transition, and pays special attention to the transition to school, the effect of this on the family, as well as the effect of the family on that transition. It celebrates the roles of families, locating them as integral partners in time of transition and identifying a variety of ways in which families and educators can work together with children to promote positive transitions. The book draws on a range of theoretical frameworks and research projects to provide multiple perspectives of family involvement in education, family-educator partnerships, the nature of collaboration, issues for families in marginalised or complex circumstances, as well as the multiple intersections of families and transition processes. The research projects reported range from in-depth case studies to the analysis of large-scale data sets and all have multiple messages for practitioners, policy makers and researchers as they seek ways to engage with families as their children start school.

Las funciones ejecutivas son, sin duda, la «herramienta» más sofisticada del cerebro humano y participan en los procesos cognitivos más elaborados y complejos. El Test de las Anillas es una nueva pru

Developmental evaluation (DE) offers a powerful approach to monitoring and supporting social innovations by working in partnership with program decision makers. In this book, eminent authority Michael Quinn Patton shows how to conduct evaluations within a DE framework.

An alternative view of social identity by articulating the inseparable dynamic relationships that exist between content, process and power relations

This book describes how to use test equating methods in practice. The non-commercial software R is used throughout the book to illustrate how to perform different equating methods when scores data are collected under different data collection designs, such as equivalent groups design, single group design, counterbalanced design and non equivalent groups with anchor test design. The R packages equate, kequate and SNSequate, among others, are used to practically illustrate the different methods, while simulated and real data sets illustrate how the methods are conducted with the program R. The book covers traditional equating methods including, mean and linear equating, frequency estimation equating and chain equating, as well as modern equating methods such as kernel equating, local equating and combinations of these. It also offers chapters on observed and true score item response theory equating and discusses recent developments within the equating field. More specifically it covers the issue of including covariates within the equating process, the use of different kernels and ways of selecting bandwidths in kernel equating, and the Bayesian nonparametric estimation of equating functions. It also illustrates how to evaluate equating in practice using simulation and different equating specific measures such as the standard error of equating, percent relative error, different that matters and others.

Close-up insights on how experts in the field are re-interpretingethical principles to create workable policies for today andtomorrow, from the creators of the 2007 APS Code of Ethics.

The social world is complicated and our minds are limited, so we take shortcuts. We have to make quick decisions this person is dangerous, this one is not. The shortcuts we take mostly work well enough, because, after all, we survive. But some are deeply unjust, including racial or social class categories or other unfair stereotypes.This book will help your students understand how these shortcuts work, why they exist, and how they are changing. There are examples in each chapter which* Show applications in the real world to help with their understanding* Highlight significant pieces of research to help them demonstrate knowledge of a wide range of sources* Explain researching in social cognition to improve their skills and give ideas for their own research.

Presenting a model for interdisciplinary working, this book offers an overview of practice and policy across a range of mental health settings. It explores how to combine skills, theories and expertise from a range of disciplines in response to the diverse needs of service users, from children to older people, and those with complex needs.

The application of systemic ideas and principles in working with people with intellectual disabilities, their families and their service systems, has grown over the last decade in the UK. This book, for the first time, brings together the writings of a group of practitioners who have been using this approach in their clinical practice. It is hoped it will inspire others to try out different ways of working with people with intellectual disabilities and their wider systems, so that they can have the choice of a wide range of therapeutic approaches. It is also hoped that systemic practitioners who are unfamiliar with this client group might give consideration to extend their practice to also work with people with intellectual disabilities.

With millions of copies sold worldwide in multiple languages, this is the style manual of choice for writers, researchers, editors, students, and educators in the social and behavioral sciences, natural sciences, nursing, communications, education, business, engineering, and other fields.
