  • Gender and Motivation for Achievement, Affiliation-Intimacy and Power by Lauren E. Duncan and Bill E. Peterson

    Gender and Motivation for Achievement, Affiliation-Intimacy and Power

    Lauren E. Duncan and Bill E. Peterson

    The study of gender and gender roles has made significant advances since the 1960s, and this is particularly evident in the areas of social and applied psychology. Volume 2 of the Handbook of Gender Research in Psychology focuses on these aspects of psychology, acknowledging the vitality of the field and reviewing theories and findings from across the specialties, including many outside traditional areas of gender research.

    The book’s major goals—better communication between researchers, identification and addressing of knowledge gaps, elimination of bias in research and treatment—are exemplified in a series of chapters that inform readers about the current state of gender research. Authors discuss topics such as the ongoing gender issues in personality assessment, the role of gender in developing and maintaining relationships, and controversies such as whether a male practitioner can be a feminist therapist and whether the concept of gender identity disorder is outdated.

    Volume 2 of the Handbook of Gender Research in Psychology covers these critical areas:

    Personality and personality testing; Abnormal and clinical psychology, including gendered aspects of depression, body image, and eating disorders Psychotherapy with women, men, couples, and families; Social psychology, including intimate relationships, group behavior, and gender prejudice; Work, the workplace, and leadership; Health care and health behaviors Special topics, from the media to the military

    Blending the challenging with the accessible, Handbook of Gender Research in Psychology: Gender Research in Social and Applied Psychology is a reference of the first order for researchers, a practice-enhancing resource for clinical psychologists and other therapists, and an exceedingly useful text for the professor or graduate student.

  • Parenting and Generativity: Literature, Psychology, and Death of a Salesman by Bill E. Peterson

    Parenting and Generativity: Literature, Psychology, and Death of a Salesman

    Bill E. Peterson

    Book Abstract:

    This volume brings together experts in generativity and related fields to provide a compelling overview of contemporary research and theory on this topic. Generativity refers to a concern for - or acting towards - the benefit of future generations as a legacy of the self; it has implications for outcomes at the individual, relational and social, and broader societal levels. Understanding the role and expressions of generativity at various stages of our lives is important to our sense of well-being and purpose, and it impacts our parenting, caregiving, and social relationships, as well as having implications for our activities and experiences in the workforce, and in voluntary activities in our communities and the wider society. The chapters in this volume explore the meaning and impact of generativity across development and across life contexts and roles. They address generativity within a particular area or life domain, or period of the lifespan, and outline key methods and findings, as well as theoretical issues and applied implications. The volume represents the first comprehensive exploration of generativity from early to late adulthood; it offers a broad international perspective and will inform research into generativity across multiple cultures.

  • Making Reflection Critical: Structural and Historical Attributions for Inequity by Esther Burson, Erin B. Godfrey, Riana M. Brown, and Deanna A. Ibrahim

    Making Reflection Critical: Structural and Historical Attributions for Inequity

    Esther Burson, Erin B. Godfrey, Riana M. Brown, and Deanna A. Ibrahim

    Book Abstract: Critical consciousness represents the analysis of inequitable social conditions, the motivation to effect change, and the action taken to redress perceived inequities. Scholarship and practice in the last two decades have highlighted critical consciousness as a key developmental competency for those experiencing marginalization and as a pathway for navigating and resisting oppression. This competency is more urgent than ever given the current sociopolitical moment, in which longstanding inequity, bias, discrimination, and competing ideologies are amplified. This volume assembles leading scholars to address some of the field's most urgent questions: How does critical consciousness develop? What theories can be used to complement and enrich our understanding of the operation of critical consciousness? How might new directions in theory and measurement further enhance what is known about critical consciousness? It offers cutting-edge ideas and answers to these questions that are of critical importance to deepen our critical consciousness theory and measurement. Source: Publisher

  • Social Contagion of Nonsuicidal Self-Injury by Stephanie Jarvi Steele

    Social Contagion of Nonsuicidal Self-Injury

    Stephanie Jarvi Steele

    This chapter explores the social contagion of nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) via interpersonal, media and online exposure among both youths and adults by referencing social learning theory and the Social Exposure to Non-Suicidal Self-Injury Scale. According to social learning theory, people imitate and learn certain behaviors by identifying with people who act as models. The chapter elaborates on the concepts of social learning, modeling, and imitation, and general recommendations for the assessment and treatment of clinical practice addressing social contagion factors. It then suggests utilizing ecological momentary assessment (EMA) and single-case experimental design (SCED) for future studies on social contagion of NSSI.

  • Hoarding Disorder: A Comprehensive Clinical Guide by Carolyn I. Rodriguez and Randy O. Frost

    Hoarding Disorder: A Comprehensive Clinical Guide

    Carolyn I. Rodriguez and Randy O. Frost

    Accounts of hoarding behaviors stretch back thousands of years--most recently depicted in popular reality television series--but it wasn't until the publication of DSM-5 in 2013 that hoarding was classified as a disorder in its own right rather than as a symptom of obsessive-compulsive disorder or obsessive-compulsive personality disorder.

    In this single source, readers can access the most up-to-date comprehensive information on what is known about the disorder. Drawing on both the authors' own clinical experience and published research, Hoarding Disorder: A Comprehensive Clinical Guide examines the phenomenology and etiology of the disorder, as well as psychotherapeutic and pharmacological treatments, challenges, and future directions. Appendices feature useful symptom rating scales that can be applied to practice.

    Whether readers are practicing psychiatrists, psychologists, or other mental health professionals; professionals in training; or peer support counselors and community advocates; all will benefit from the wealth of information in this volume--made more easily accessible through key points in each chapter--and find the guidance they need to effectively and compassionately treat patients with hoarding disorder.

  • Analyzing Motivation and Realization by Bill E. Peterson

    Analyzing Motivation and Realization

    Bill E. Peterson

    Generativity is the adult's concern for and commitment to promoting the next generation through parenting, teaching, mentoring, and generating products and outcomes that aim to benefit youth and foster the development and well-being of those individuals and social systems that outlive the self. Almost 50 yrs ago, Erikson introduced this concept in his 8-stage model of human development as the 7th stage of the life cycle, generation vs stagnation. "Generativity and Adult Development" brings together contemporary thinking and research being done on the psychological, social, and cultural aspects of generativity in adult lives. The book draws together a roster of distinguished scholars from the fields of life-span development, personality and social psychology, clinical and counseling psychology, sociology, history, philosophy, and the arts. The reader will find here a host of stimulating ideas, new research findings, and clinical wisdom about how adults fashion their lives in ways designed to promote the ensuing generations and to leave an enduring legacy that will outlive the self.
