Sinopsis

"Progress vs Regress" offers a thought-provoking examination of how societies advance and decline, challenging the common belief that human development follows a straightforward upward path. Through a comprehensive analysis spanning archaeology, economics, and social psychology, the book reveals how progress and regression are intricately interconnected, often occurring simultaneously across different aspects of society.

 
This nuanced approach demonstrates how technological advancements might coincide with deteriorating social bonds or environmental conditions, painting a more complex picture of societal development. The book's three-part structure first establishes a theoretical framework for understanding the cyclical nature of progress, then explores specific cases across technological, social, and cultural domains, and finally presents practical models for evaluating change processes.

 
Drawing from diverse historical examples, from ancient empires to contemporary societies, the author illustrates how advancements in one area frequently correlate with decline in others. The analysis is particularly relevant in our current era of rapid technological transformation, offering valuable insights for policy makers, academics, and informed citizens.

 
What sets this work apart is its interdisciplinary approach and balanced perspective, combining quantitative social indicators with qualitative historical analysis to create a comprehensive understanding of societal change. Rather than advocating for either a purely optimistic or pessimistic view, the book provides practical frameworks for analyzing and managing change processes, helping readers navigate the complex interplay between progress and regress in their own contexts. The author's careful examination of historical patterns and contemporary data offers readers tools to better understand and respond to ongoing social transformations.

The world's leading investigator of consciousness argues that by understanding what consciousness does—cause change in the world—we can understand its origins and its future 
 
 
 
In Then I Am Myself the World, Christof Koch explores the only thing we directly experience: consciousness. At the book's heart is integrated-information theory, the idea that the essence of consciousness is the ability to exert causal power over itself, to be an agent of change. Koch investigates the physical origins of consciousness in the brain and how this knowledge can be used to measure consciousness in natural and artificial systems. 
 
 
 
Enabled by such tools, Koch reveals when and where consciousness exists, and uses that knowledge to confront major social and scientific questions: When does a fetus first become self-aware? Can psychedelic and mystical experiences transform lives? What happens to consciousness in near-death experiences? Why will generative AI ultimately be able to do the very thing we can do, yet never feel any of it? And do our experiences reveal a single, objective reality? 
 
 
 
This is an essential book for anyone who seeks to understand ourselves and the future we are creating.

Counsellors and psychotherapists are faced with ever-increasing complexity in their work with adolescents. In this book, Bronagh Starrs offers an understanding of developmental and therapeutic process from a relational-phenomenological Gestalt perspective. 
 
 
 
Starrs shows how the adolescent's presenting symptom issues are statements of compromised life space integrity and demonstrates therapeutic sensibility to the adolescent's first-person experience. Throughout the book, the clinician is offered extensive relational and creative strategies to support integrity repair for the adolescent. The developmental impact of various life space contexts are discussed, including parental separation, complex family configuration, grief, adoption, and emerging sexual orientation and gender experience. Therapeutic responses to common creative adjustments are explored including anxiety, school refusal, depression, self-harm, suicide, eating disorders, alcohol and drug use, and sexual trauma. 
 
 
 
Adolescent Psychotherapy will help counsellors and psychotherapists to develop deeper levels of competency in their work as adolescent psychotherapists, as they navigate the complex and fascinating experience of therapy with teenagers. This exceptional contribution is suitable for both experienced practitioners and students of counselling and psychotherapy.

A psychoanalyst's sensitive exploration of schizophrenia through the stories and words of three women patients 
 
 
  
In the spring of 1994, psychoanalyst-in-training Steven Poser arrived for his clinical internship at one of the last remaining nineteenth-century mental hospitals in New England. Intending to observe and offer compassionate care to the most chronically ill patients, he ended up staying for two years, forming close therapeutic relationships with three female patients suffering from schizophrenia, "Agnes," "Mrs. Lutzky," and "Lucia." 
 
 
  
Drawing from his clinical diary, Poser presents his encounters with the women in their own words, each speaking in a poetry of her own invention. Rather than treat the women as casualties of their illness or their words and actions as nonsensical, Poser sees his patients as dignified and struggling people—and not as markedly different from the rest of us as we might think. This is a deeply human book about the frailty and importance of human connection and the intangibly healing force of being heard.
