A emergência de uma recente onda de difusão de direitos de terceira geração a partir da década de 1960 trouxe consigo um foco de destaque sobre agendas temáticas e sujeitos sociais que estavam relativamente marginalizados dos grandes debates públicos, repercutindo assim na emergência de um crescente campo de estudos e de policymaking sobre gênero e violência de gênero, bem como de um novo olhar, novas políticas e novas atitudes em vários países democráticos no mundo Partindo desta temática, o objetivo do presente livro, “Violência de gênero e a pandemia de COVID-19”, é analisar a já complexa temática da violência de gênero no Brasil, tomando como referência a cont...
Esta obra discute as possibilidades de compreensão do autismo, precisando seus aspectos históricos e teóricos e, principalmente, a importância de o autismo ser dimensionado como uma pluralidade de possibilidades. Parte das contribuições de Leo Kanner e Hans Asperger e traça um panorama que, no século XX, centra os diagnósticos em critérios genéricos — classificações diagnósticas como a Classificação Internacional de Doenças (CID), da Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), e o Manual de Diagnóstico e Estatístico de Transtornos Mentais (DSM), da American Psychological Association (APA). Esta primeira análise chega até a CID 11, adotada mundialmente em 2022. Em seguida, a...

In some cases the traumas spring up in front of us, like targets created long ago that cannot be ignored. In many cases, however, we will have to do some groundwork, we will have to clear the way, to dis-mantle obstacles blocking our path, or to build, to create supports and bridges to open up the way to the trauma and to healing. A balanced person is a healthy person and a state of dynamic equilibrium is a healthy state to be in. Whatever upsets the balance, however deep down in the darkness of the unconscious it may be, will show signs of life. The longer we turn down the invitation to confront the trauma, the more formidable the challenge of taking a fresh look at a case we thought had cl...
The most critical factor explaining the disjuncture between empathy’s revolutionary potential and today’s empathically-impaired society is the interaction between the brain and our dominant political culture. The evolutionary process has given rise to a hard-wired neural system in the primal brain and particularly in the human brain. This book argues that the crucial missing piece in this conversation is the failure to identify and explain the dynamic relationship between an empathy gap and the hegemonic influence of neoliberal capitalism, through the analysis of the college classroom, the neoliberal state, media, film and photo images, marketing of products, militarization, mass culture...
A groundbreaking, “thoughtful and provocative” (Los Angeles Times) study of narcissism that will relieve hidden anxieties and heal the tension between mind, body, and feelings. Are you a narcissist? Do you interact with someone who is? Contrary to popular belief, narcissists do not love themselves or anyone else. They cannot accept their true selves, constructing instead fixed masks that hide emotional numbness. Influenced by forces in culture and predisposed by factors in the human personality, narcissists tend to be: • More concerned with how they appear than what they feel • Seductive and manipulative, striving for power and control • Egotists, focused on their own interests but...
