Anxious
Anxiety is the most prevalent psychiatric problem of our time. Decades of research have gone into probing its mysteries and developing treatments. But what if we’ve been thinking about fear and anxiety in the wrong way for all these years? This is the groundbreaking premise behind a wave of new research, led by the lab of renowned neuroscientist Joseph LeDoux. He believes that fear and anxiety are not innate states, simply waiting to be unleashed in the brain. Rather they are assembled experiences, and that has huge implications for patients. By mapping brain circuits, LeDoux explains the origins of anxiety disorders and reveals discoveries that can restore sufferers to normality. As impressive as it is timely, Anxious is a comprehensive survey of cutting-edge research revolutionising the way we treat our most pressing mental health issue.

Ansia
I disturbi di paura e ansia rappresentano un problema psichiatrico molto diffuso ma anche chi è considerato mentalmente e fisicamente sano può soffrire temporaneamente di terrori e preoccupazioni invalidanti. Joseph LeDoux, all’avanguardia nella ricerca in questo campo, prende in esame questi disturbi, le loro origini e le scoperte che possono aiutare chi ne soffre a tornare alla normalità. La premessa fondamentale è che paura e ansia sono esperienze che costruiamo cognitivamente. Dato che il cervello è plastico, può apprendere anche come non essere ansioso. Con concetti chiari e fondati sulla sperimentazione, le future generazioni potranno essere meno inclini della nostra a considerare la loro epoca “l’età dell’ansia”.
Why We Doubt
This book, the first of its kind, puts forward a novel, unified cognitive account of skeptical doubt. Historically, most philosophers have tried to tackle this difficult topic by directly arguing that skeptical doubt is false. But N. Ángel Pinillos does something different. He begins by trying to uncover the hidden mental rule which, for better or worse, motivates our skeptical inclinations. He then gives an account of the broader cognitive purpose of having and applying this rule. Based on these ideas, he shows how we can give a new response to the traditional problem of global skepticism. He also argues that philosophical skepticism is not just something that comes up during philosophical...
Managing Complexity Through Social Intelligence
This book presents solutions to problems that are total and based on thinking about how and why humans have organized themselves. It discusses how to avoid the now well-documented Holocene Extinction, propelled by climate change, wars, resource depletion, desertification, degrading knowledge quality, famine, and deterioration of societies overall. It explains why we cannot respond effectively with hedonistic, incompetent, corrupt, and anarchistic "liberal democracy" and why neither personality cult regimes can suffice. The book offers a model of an organic social structure embodying a collective consciousness of communitarianism and Platonic-style ethos. Putting an emphasis on the re-establi...
Handbook of Neuroscience for the Behavioral Sciences, Volume 1
As technology has made imaging of the brain noninvasive and inexpensive, nearly every psychologist in every subfield is using pictures of the brain to show biological connections to feelings and behavior. Handbook of Neuroscience for the Behavioral Sciences, Volume I provides psychologists and other behavioral scientists with a solid foundation in the increasingly critical field of neuroscience. Current and accessible, this volume provides the information they need to understand the new biological bases, research tools, and implications of brain and gene research as it relates to psychology.
ADHD
According to a recent report, up to 5% of school children in the United States have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Commonly referred to as ADHD, this condition affects teens in a number of ways, from excessive fidgeting and difficulty following instructions to avoiding tasks that require concentration and displaying impulsive behavior. While ADHD has become a household term, there are many questions about the nature of this condition and how it can affect young adults. In ADHD: The Ultimate Teen Guide, John Aspromonte looks at the causes of this condition, examines its various symptoms, and dispels the myths associated with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Most importantl...
