Positive Psychiatry, Psychotherapy and Psychology
For hundreds of years, psychology has looked into the dysfunctions and symptoms of the mind. It’s only over the last few decades that the field has started to pay attention to what constitutes a functional and content life. Instead of using disease to understand health, positive psychology studies the components of a good life and helps people not only avoid mental health problems but develop happiness.

While these fields are a recent development they hold the promise of helping all of us live a fulf...

Will Storr Vs. The Supernatural
When journalist and ghost sceptic Will Storr heads to Philadelphia to meet Lou Gentile, a demonologist, he expects a little fun with an amusing eccentric. What he gets are terrifying experiences of spectral lights and horrific demonic growling - and all of his safe, adult preconceptions about ghosts instantly vanish. In the cold light of day, Will decides on a quest for the truth about ghosts. He meets professional paranormal investigators and takes part in séances and a vigil in the most haunted house in Britain, tries out divining rods and ouija boards, and goes on set with TV's Most Haunted. But Will also seeks out the sceptics in clinical psychology and philosophy who ask if spirits are really just in our heads. His journey is full of bizarre, terrifying and hilarious experiences, each one a new insight into life, death and what might come after.
Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock
A powerful and important book for fans of Mark Haddon, THE SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK and Jay Asher. How would you spend your birthday if you knew it would be your last? Eighteen-year-old Leonard Peacock knows exactly what he'll do. He'll say goodbye. Not to his mum - who he calls Linda because it annoys her - who's moved out and left him to fend for himself. Nor to his former best friend, whose torments have driven him to consider committing the unthinkable. But to his four friends: a Humphrey-Bogart-obsessed neighbour, a teenage violin virtuoso, a pastor's daughter and a teacher. Most of the time, Leonard believes he's weird and sad but these friends have made him think that maybe he's not. He wants to thank them, and say goodbye. In this riveting and heart-breaking book, acclaimed author Matthew Quick introduces Leonard Peacock, a hero as warm and endearing as he is troubled. And he shows how just a glimmer of hope can make the world of difference.
Vapaa mieli
Milloin ihmisen mieli on vapaa? Mikä mielen vapautta rajoittaa? Mitä uskonnon- ja mielipiteenvapaus tarkoittaa tilanteissa, joissa ihminen päätyy psykiatriseen hoitoon poikkeuksellisten uskomustensa ja kokemustensa vuoksi? Miten ihmiseen lyöty hullun leima vaikuttaa siihen, miten hänen elämää ja uskoa koskeviin pohdintoihinsa suhtaudutaan? "Vapaa mieli: uskonnon- ja mielipiteenvapaus mielenterveyden järkkyessä" kokoaa ja tiivistää sosiaalieetikko Mari Stenlundin tutkimustyötä. Kirja on toteutunut Stenlundin ja mielenterveyden kokemusasiantuntijoiden yhteistyönä. Stenlundin artikkeleiden kanssa vuorottelevat kokemusasiantuntijoiden kirjoitukset, joissa kirjoittajat kuvaavat omia näkemyksiään ja kokemuksiaan uskonnon- ja mielipiteenvapaudesta. "Kun haluamme ymmärtää uskonnon- ja mielipiteenvapautta, on käännyttävä marginaalin puoleen. On kohdattava ihmisyyden koko kirjo, jotta voimme käsittää, mikä ihmisoikeuksissa on kaikkein keskeisintä." (Mari Stenlund)
