Leading Scholars Blend Cutting-Edge Science with Practical Experience to Reveal Evidence-Based Best Practices Edited by three leading authorities on nonverbal behavior, this book examines state-of-the-art research and knowledge regarding nonverbal behavior and applies that scientific knowledge to a broad range of fields. The editors present a true scientist -- practitioner model, blending cutting-edge behavioral science with real-world practical experience, thus making this text the first of its kind to merge theoretical and practical worlds. This book is a valuable resource for students and professionals as it explores the science behind the practice and reveals how other professionals have effectively incorporated nonverbal communication into their fields. This book serves as an excellent text or supplement for courses/seminars in nonverbal behavior, nonverbal communication, human interaction, profiling, security management, and homeland security, as well as courses in interviewing and qualitative analysis.

This handbook is the definitive resource for understanding current mental health policy controversies, options, and implementation strategies. It offers a thorough review of major issues in mental health policy to inform the policy-making process, presenting the pros and cons of controversial, significant issues through close analyses of data. Some of the topics covered are the effectiveness of various biomedical and psychosocial interventions, the role of mental illness in violence, and the effectiveness of coercive strategies. The handbook presents cases for conditions in which specialized mental health services are needed and those in which it might be better to deliver mental health treatment in mainstream health and social services settings. It also examines the balance between federal, state, and local authority, and the financing models for delivery of efficient and effective mental health services. It is aimed for an audience of policy-makers, researchers, and informed citizens that can contribute to future policy deliberations.

Cognitive enhancement is the use of drugs, biotechnological strategies or other means by healthy individuals aiming at the improvement of cognitive functions such as vigilance, concentration or memory without any medical need. In particular, the use of pharmacological substances (caffeine, prescription drugs or illicit drugs) has received considerable attention during the last few years. Currently, however, little is known concerning the use of cognitive enhancers, their effects in healthy individuals and the place and function of cognitive enhancement in everyday life. The purpose of the book is to give an overview of the current research on cognitive enhancement and to provide in-depth insights into the interdisciplinary debate on cognitive enhancement.

Wilhelm Dilthey and Hans-Georg Gadamer were probably the last great scholars who had taken Philipp Melanchthon seriously as a philosopher. In the 20th century interest was almost exclusively restricted to his role in the history of the Reformation. However, in recent decades the situation has changed greatly. Melanchthon has aroused general interest in the field of the history of science and education, as well as in individual disciplines such as research on dialectics and rhetoric. In this volume Melanchthon is presented for the first time as a universal scholar and so made accessible to a broader public.

These contributions discuss a number of important developments over the past decade in a newly established and important field of economics that have led to notable changes in views on governmental competition policies.

In the last few decades, scientists have discovered that far from being a time of neural silence, sleep is characterized by complex patterns of electrical, neurochemical, and metabolic activity in the brain. "Sleep and the Brain" presents some of the more dramatic developments in our understanding of brain activity in sleep. The book discusses what parts of the brain are active in sleep and how, and presents research on the function of sleep in memory, learning, and further brain development. Coverage encompasses the network and membrane mechanisms responsible for waking and sleeping brain activity, the roles of glial cells in the sleeping brain, the molecular basis of sleep EEG rhythms, and research on songbirds, rodents, and humans indicating the function of sleep.
Collates material dispersed across a wide gamut of primary literature into one placeFocuses on the most interesting and prolific research results on brain activity as it relates to sleepPractical real data discussion includes functional brain imaging and EEG research

Unter den cerebralen Reaktionsformen des hoheren Lebensalters haben die "amnestischen Episoden" we- gen ihrer eigentiirnlichen psychopathologischen Struk- tur, der darnit verbundenen besonderen Form von Erlebnisstorung, ihres vielfaltigen atiopathogeneti- schen Bedingungsgeftiges und ihrer prospektiven Be- deutung gerade in den letzten J ahrzehnten ein offen- sichtlich zunehmendes Interesse gewonnen. Die von Gerhard Frank vorgelegten klinischen Untersuchungs- ergebnisse an 27 Patienten auf Grund direkter Beob- achtung und raufender Austestung wahrend des meh- rere Stun den anhaltenden Versagens des mittelbaren Gedachtnisses verdeutlichen zugleich die hiermit ver- bundenen Veranderungen in Verhalten, Erleben und Gestimmtheit. Darnit ist erstmals auch der Hintergrund dessen, was mit dem reduzierenden Begriff "amnesti- sche Episode" nicht getroffen wird, abgeleuchtet. Retrospektives und Prospektives bringen Einsich- ten in die jeweils besondere Einftigung solcher zugleich fascinierender wie erschiittemder, gliicklicherweise transitorischer, in jedem Falle "eigenartiger Risse zwi- schen Bewu tsein und Erleben in der Gegenwart", wie dies Gamper im Jahre 1928 in anderem Zusammen- hange zu kennzeichnen versuchte. Neben neuen Ein- blicken in die psychopathologische Struktur ergeben sich niitzliche Klarungen in atiopathogenetischer Hin- sicht, zumal solcher Erscheinungsbilder, die sich urn den alteren Begriff "migraine amnesique" gruppierten. Dem ist eine eindrucksvolle Belegkasuistik gewidmet.
