  Monsters on the Couch - The Real...

  From psychologist, researcher, and horror film enthusiast Brian A. Sharpless comes Monsters on the Couch, an exploration into the real-life psychological disorders behind famous horror movies. Accounts of clinical syndromes every bit as dramatic as those on the silver screen are juxtaposed with fascinating forays into the science and folklore behind our favorite movie monsters. 
   
   
   
  Horror fans may be obsessed with vampires, werewolves, zombies, and the human replacements from Invasion of the Body Snatchers, but even many medical professionals may not know about the corresponding conditions of Renfield's syndrome, clinical lycanthropy, Cotard's syndrome, and Capgras syndrome. 
   
   
   
  Some of these disorders are surprisingly common in the general population. For instance, a number of people experience isolated sleep paralysis, a disorder implicated in ghost and alien abduction beliefs. Fascinations with sleep paralysis have led to its own brimming subgenre of horror. 
   
   
   
  As these tales unfold, listeners not only learn state-of-the-art psychological science but also gain a better understanding of history, folklore, and how Hollywood often—but not always—gets it wrong when tackling these complex topics.

  "Commentaries on the Laws of England" is a book written by William Blackstone, an English jurist, judge, and politician. The book was first published in the 18th century and became one of the most influential legal treatises in English history. It is divided into four volumes and provides a comprehensive overview of English law, including the history of the legal system, the principles of property law, criminal law, and civil law. 
  The book is notable for its clear and accessible writing style, which made it widely accessible to non-lawyers and helped to popularize the study of law. It also played a key role in shaping the development of the American legal system, as it was widely read and studied by American lawyers and judges in the early years of the United States. 
  Blackstone's "Commentaries" is still considered a foundational work of English law and legal philosophy, and its influence can be seen in the legal systems of many other countries around the world. The book is also valued for its historical significance, as it provides a detailed record of the legal system in England during the 18th century and the social and political forces that shaped it.

  “The Anxious Generation” by Jonathan Haidt explores the profound impact of modern technology, particularly smartphones and social media, on the mental health of today’s youth. Haidt examines how the shift from a play-based childhood to a phone-based childhood has led to a rise in anxiety, depression, and social isolation among adolescents. He discusses the role of technology in disrupting key developmental processes, such as emotional regulation and social interaction. With a focus on the cultural, psychological, and societal implications, Haidt calls for a balanced approach to childhood development in order to reverse the growing mental health crisis.
