Panpsychism is the view that consciousness - the most puzzling and
strangest phenomenon in the entire universe - is a fundamental and
ubiquitous feature of the world, though in a form very remote from
human consciousness. At a very basic level, the world is awake.
Panpsychism seems implausible to most, and yet it has experienced a
remarkable renaissance of interest over the last quarter century.
The reason is the stubbornly intractable problem of consciousness.
Despite immense progress in understanding the brain and its
relation to states of consciousness, we still really have no idea
how consciousness emerges from physical processes which are
presumed to be entirely non-conscious. The Routledge Handbook of
Panpsychism provides a high-level comprehensive examination and
assessment of the subject - its history and contemporary
development. It offers 28 chapters, appearing in print here for the
first time, from the world's leading researchers on panpsychism.
The chapters are divided into four sections that integrate
panpsychism's relevance with important issues in philosophy of
mind, philosophy of science, metaphysics, and even ethics:
Historical Reflections Forms of Panpsychism Comparative
Alternatives How Does Panpsychism Work? The volume will be useful
to students and scholars as both an introduction and as
cutting-edge philosophical engagement with the subject. For anyone
interested in a philosophical approach to panpsychism, the Handbook
will supply fascinating and enlightening reading. The topics
covered are highly diverse, representing a spectrum of views on the
nature of mind and world from various standpoints which take
panpsychism seriously.

Winner of the NAAP 2019 Gradiva (R) Award! Winner of the IAJS Book
Award for Best Book published in 2019! Marian Dunlea's BodyDreaming
in the Treatment of Developmental Trauma: An Embodied Therapeutic
Approach provides a theoretical and practical guide for working
with early developmental trauma. This interdisciplinary approach
explores the interconnection of body, mind and psyche, offering a
masterful tool for restoring balance and healing developmental
trauma. BodyDreaming is a somatically focused therapeutic method,
drawing on the findings of neuroscience, analytical psychology,
attachment theory and trauma therapy. In Part I, Dunlea defines
BodyDreaming and its origins, placing it in the context of a
dysregulated contemporary world. Part II explains how the brain
works in relation to the BodyDreaming approach: providing an
accessible outline of neuroscientific theory, structures and
neuroanatomy in attunement, affect regulation, attachment patterns,
transference and countertransference, and the resolution of trauma
throughout the body. In Part III, through detailed transcripts from
sessions with clients, Dunlea demonstrates the positive impact of
BodyDreaming on attachment patterns and developmental trauma. This
somatic approach complements and enhances psychobiological,
developmental and psychoanalytic interventions. BodyDreaming
restores balance to a dysregulated psyche and nervous system that
activates our innate capacity for healing, changing our default
response of "fight, flight or freeze" and creating new neural
pathways. Dunlea's emphasis on attunement to build a restorative
relationship with the sensing body creates a core sense of self,
providing a secure base for healing developmental trauma.
Innovative and practical, and with a foreword by Donald E.
Kalsched, BodyDreaming in the Treatment of Developmental Trauma: An
Embodied Therapeutic Approach will be essential reading for
psychotherapists, analytical psychologists and therapists with a
Jungian background, arts therapists, dance and movement therapists,
and body workers interested in learning how to work with both body
and psyche in their practices.

This book tests the critical potential of happiness research to
evaluate contemporary high-performance societies. These societies,
defined as affluent capitalist societies, emphasize competition and
success both institutionally and culturally. Growing affluence
improves life in many ways, for a large number of people. We lead
longer, safer, and more comfortable lives than previous
generations. But we also live faster, and are
competition-toughened, like top athletes. As a result, we suspect
limits and detect downsides of our high-speed lives. The ubiquitous
maximization principle opens up a systematic gateway to the
pleasures and pains of contemporary life. Using happiness as a
reference point, this book explores the philosophical and empirical
limits of the maximization rule. It considers the answer to
questions such as: Precisely, why did the idea of (economic)
maximization gain so much ground in our Western way of thinking?
When, and in which life domains, does maximization work, when does
it fail? When do qualities and when do quantities matter? Does
maximization yield a different (un)happiness dividend in different
species, cultures, and societies? "

Late Capitalist Freud in Literary, Cultural, and Political Theory
proposes that late Freudian theory has had an historical influence
on the configuration of contemporary life and is central to the
construction of twenty-first-century capitalism. This book
investigates how we continue to live in the Freudian century,
turning its attentions to specific crisis points within
neoliberalism-the rise of figures like Trump, the development of
social media as a new superego force, the economics that underpin
the wellness and self-care industries as well as the contemporary
consumption of popular culture-to maintain the continued historical
importance of Freudian thought in all its dimensions. Drawing on
psychoanalytic theory, literary theory, cultural studies, and
political theory, this book assesses the contribution that an
historical and theoretical consideration of the late Freud can make
to analyzing certain aspects of late capital.

Applying experimental methods has become one of the most powerful
and versatile ways to obtain economic insights, and experimental
economics has especially supported the development of behavioral
economics. The Art of Experimental Economics identifies and reviews
20 of the most important papers to have been published in
experimental economics in order to highlight the power and methods
of this area, and provides many examples of findings in behavioral
economics that have extended knowledge in the economics discipline
as a whole. Chosen through a combination of citations,
recommendations by scholars in the field, and voting by members of
leading societies, the 20 papers under review - some by Nobel
prize-winning economists - run the full gamut of experimental
economics from theoretical expositions to applications
demonstrating experimental economics in action. Also written by a
leading experimental economist, each chapter provides a brief
summary of the paper, makes the case for why that paper is one of
the top 20 in the field, discusses the use made of the experimental
method, and considers related work to provide context for each
paper. These reviews quickly expose readers to the breadth of
application possibilities and the methodological issues, leaving
them with a firm understanding of the legacy of the papers'
contributions. This text provides a survey of some of the very best
research in experimental and behavioral economics and is a valuable
resource for scholars and economics instructors, students seeking
to develop capability in applying experimental methods, and
economics researchers who wish to further explore the experimental
approach.

This book presents a critical examination of the development of
user involvement within research, and investigates the issues
currently preventing a productive integration of Mad knowledges
within research and practice. Drawing on social, linguistic and
critical theories, it proposes the conditions needed to address the
development of Mad epistemologies. The author's unique approach
deliberately highlights her own positionality and draws on decades
of experience as a service recipient, survivor, activist and
researcher to illustrate the structural and symbolic barriers
faced. Employing concepts including epistemic injustice,
individualization, normalization and structural violence, it
suggests a radically new way of articulating 'what's the matter
with us?' In doing so, the book itself goes some way towards
enacting the radical challenge to academic and epistemic
hierarchies which, it is argued, will be required to further
advance mad knowledges and user-led research. Crucially, it
demonstrates how this approach can be both methodologically and
conceptually rigorous. This novel work holds important insights for
students and scholars across the humanities and social sciences;
particularly those working in the areas of critical psychology,
disability studies, Mad studies, feminist studies, critical race
theory, and Queer theory.
Adolescence is a period characterized by both increased
susceptibility to risks and new-found strength to withstand them.
Whilst most young people are well equipped to manage the changes
associated with growing up, other maladjusted and marginalized
adolescents already have, or are at risk of developing, mental
health problems. Adolescent Mental Health: Prevention and
Intervention is a concise and accessible overview of our current
knowledge on effective treatment and prevention programs for young
people with mental health problems. Whilst addressing some of the
most common mental health issues among young people, such as
behavioral problems and drug-related difficulties, it also offers a
fuller understanding of the evidence-based treatment and prevention
programs that are built upon what we know about how these
behavioral and emotional problems develop and are sustained. The
volume illustrates contemporary and empirically supported
interventions and prevention efforts through a series of case
studies. It has been fully updated in line with the latest NICE and
DSM-V guidelines, and now includes an added chapter on
implementation, and what factors facilitate implementation
processes of intervention efforts. Adolescent Mental Health:
Prevention and Intervention will be essential reading for students
and practitioners in the fields of child welfare and mental health
services, and any professional working with adolescents at risk of
developing mental health problems.
