Trust in Contemporary Society, by well-known trust researchers, deals with conceptual, theoretical and social interaction analyses, historical data on societies, national surveys or cross-national comparative studies, and methodological issues related to trust. The authors are from a variety of disciplines: psychology, sociology, political science, organizational studies, history, and philosophy, and from Britain, the United States, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Australia, Germany, and Japan. They bring their vast knowledge from different historical and cultural backgrounds to illuminate contemporary issues of trust and distrust. The socio-cultural perspective of trust is important and increasingly acknowledged as central to trust research. Accordingly, future directions for comparative trust research are also discussed.

Biopsychology is a branch of psychology that analyzes how the brain and neurotransmitters influence our behaviors, thoughts, and feelings. It is a subdivision of behavioral neuroscience that studies the neural mechanisms of perception and behavior through direct manipulation of the brains of nonhuman animal subjects in controlled experiments. Biopsychology studies many topics relating to the body's response to a behavior or activity in an organism. It concerns the brain cells, structures, components, and chemical interactions that are involved in order to produce actions. Psychologists in this field usually focus their attention to topics such as drives and motivations. Examining Biological Foundations of Human Behavior is a critical scholarly resource that provides comprehensive research on biological factors of behavior, structure of the brain, and intervention and treatment issues and methods. Featuring a range of topics such as biopsychology, rehabilitation, and neurobiology, this book is ideal for researchers, neuropsychologists, clinical psychologists, neuroscientists, neurosurgeons, psychiatric nurses, psychosocial rehabilitation therapists, mental health counselors, physicians, social scientists, neurobiologists, psychiatrists, academicians, and professionals.

Adventure, excitement, escape, and incarceration are keywords from the psychiatric autobiography, From the Inside of the Keyhole. This challenge to a diagnosis of manic depression or bipolar disorder will have you riding on the crest of a wave as you wonder what will happen next. Diagnosed with manic depressive psychosis at sixteen years of age, author Margaret Griffiths takes you on a journey that will expose you to the detrimental effects of psychiatric drugs and the mysteries of life in a mental institution. You will find poignancy and heartbreak, interspersed with anger, frustration, hope, and achievement; you will be touched by the logic of unreality. Is it possible for a peaceful, rational individual to emerge from a plethora of drugs, frequent seclusions, and recurrent internment? From the Inside of the Keyhole is set mainly in Queensland, Australia, with a short period in Singapore and Hong Kong, but the message it carries is relevant around the globe. Check out the strategies, developed by the author, which may free you from the effects of emotional turmoil, lack of sleep, and the need for psychiatric drugs.
