Sinopse

Behavioral Addictions explores the hidden side of everyday behaviors like shopping, internet use, and work, revealing how they can transform into destructive compulsions. Unlike substance addictions, these behavioral patterns often lack obvious physical signs, making them especially challenging to recognize and address. The book emphasizes the shared psychological and neurological roots between behavioral and substance addictions, highlighting similar patterns of reward-seeking and loss of control. It examines how societal pressures, such as consumerism and digital connectivity, contribute to these compulsions, providing a comprehensive understanding of these increasingly prevalent issues.

 
The book progresses systematically, first defining core concepts like impulse control disorders and the addiction cycle. It then delves into specific behaviors, such as shopping addiction, internet addiction, and workaholism, examining their triggers, consequences, and strategies for change. By integrating clinical studies, neuroimaging research, and personal accounts, Behavioral Addictions offers a unique and integrated perspective.

 
It culminates in an integrated model for addressing these issues, equipping readers with practical strategies and resources for self-assessment and positive change.

We owe this book to an unnamed guardian who kept safe the far western borders of a country, Zhou in the fifth century BC. The legend says that exhausted from misunderstanding Teacher with a tired heart went on his last journey – to die in a dessert.

From Warlords to Statelords -...

Federica Saini Fasanotti,...

In Libya and Yemen armed groups play a central role. Pervading weak and contested institutions, they have gradually brought their webs of survival, profit and governance under the state umbrella: warlords have become the new lords of the state. Armed groups control most of the energy revenues, critical infrastructure, smuggling and illicit trafficking. Their leaders are multifaceted: they are simultaneously military commanders, tribal chiefs, politicians and businessmen.
Combining comparative analysis and case studies, this Report sheds light on the "economic face" of the armed groups and their power trajectories. How do armed groups build networks of profit and loyalty in the territories they hold? How does clientelism mark a continuity trend with former authoritarian regimes?

Sean Dupree

"Power, Pleasure, and Pain: A Study of Abuse Through Time" delves into the dark history of how sexual violence and abuse have been intertwined with power structures throughout history. From the libertine excesses of figures like the Marquis de Sade to the scandals of modern-day predators like Harvey Weinstein and R. Kelly, this book provides a compelling examination of how those in power have used their positions to exploit and control others. 
Spanning centuries, this critical exploration looks at the societal, cultural, and institutional failures that have enabled abusers to operate with impunity. Sean Dupree uses both historical and contemporary examples to highlight the systemic nature of sexual violence, tracing its roots back to philosophical and psychological underpinnings of dominance and submission. 
Whether dissecting the abuse of power in religious institutions, entertainment, or the workplace, this study leaves no stone unturned. "Power, Pleasure, and Pain" is a powerful reminder that, despite the progress made by movements like #MeToo, much work remains to be done in holding abusers accountable and supporting survivors of sexual violence.
