PSICOLOGIA E DECOLONIALIDADE: Entre teorias, práticas e subversões
A obra aborda de forma crítica, reflexiva e propositiva uma pluralidade de temáticas que colocam em relevo a interface entre psicologias e decolonialidade. Os capítulos que a compõem anunciam posicionamentos atentos aos dilemas que integram a realidade sociopolítica e seus impactos nos processos de produção de conhecimentos e práticas em Psicologia. As autoras e os autores, ao interrogarem e deslocarem sentidos, convidam-nos a criar sensibilidades, concepções e percursos subversivos de ação e transformação social.
A busca da perfeição
A imagem que ilustra a capa deste livro apresenta a escultura intitulada ‘Apolo Belvedere’. , em exposição no Museu Pio-Clementino, no Vaticano. A data de sua origem e autoria são controversas, mas considera-se que seja uma cópia romana, em mármore, de um original grego perdido. Representando o deus grego Apolo, tal escultura se tornou a expressão do ideal da perfeição, característico da civilização helênica. Note-se que esse ideal, embora remetendo à beleza, não se restringia ao aspecto estético, pois o belo era associada, pelos gregos, ao amor, à sabedoria, à justiça, à virtude, à bondade e à coragem. Nessa associação está implícita a ideia de um homem superior...

The Natural and the Normative
Gary Hatfield examines theories of spatial perception from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century and provides a detailed analysis of the works of Kant and Helmholtz, who adopted opposing stances on whether central questions about spatial perception were amenable to natural-scientific treatment. At stake were the proper understanding of the relationships among sensation, perception, and experience, and the proper methodological framework for investigating the mental activities of judgment, understanding, and reason issues which remain at the core of philosophical psychology and cognitive science. Hatfield presents these important issues as living philosophies of science that shape and are shaped by actual research programs, creating a complex and fascinating picture of the entire nineteenth-century battle between nativism and empiricism. His examination of Helmholtz's work in physiological optics and epistemology is a tour de force. Gary Hatfield is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Pennsylvania.
Violence and Mental Health
Violence is one of the most important challenges, not only for public health systems, but also for public mental health. Violence can have immediate as well as long-term and even transgenerational effects on the mental health of its victims. This book provides a comprehensive and wide-ranging assessment of the mental health legacy left by violence. It addresses the issues as they affect states, communities and families, in other words at macro-, meso- and microlevels, beginning by describing the impact of violence on neurobiology and mental health, as well as the spectrum of syndromes and disorders associated with different forms of violence. The work moves on to tackle violence at the inter...
The Eugenics Review
None
The Wellborn Science
The four contributors to this volume examine the eugenics movements in Germany, France, Brazil, and the Soviet Union, and describe how geneticists and physicians participated in the development of policies concerning the improvement of hereditary qualities in humans. They examine the scientific components of those programs and discuss the involvement of social, religious, and political forces that significantly altered the original scientific goals. The book opens up new and comparative perspectives on the history of eugenics and the social uses of science in general.
History of Psychology in Autobiography
Since the 17th century, autobiography has an honorable place in the study of history. In 1930, the preeminent historian of psychology, Edwin Boring, writes that a science separated from its history lacks direction and promises a future of uncertain importance. To understand what psychology is and what it is becoming, the autobiographies of famous psychologists is history at it best. Here we find model inquirers of the science who offer a personalized account of themselves and their vocation in the context of the history of the science. What is characteristic of many of those who have contributed to an alternate vision of psychological science is that they never considered themselves, or were...
