"Allen and Eby's vision to integrate the fragmented literature on mentoring employees, students, and youth has produced a masterful volume that will be immensely helpful to researchers and practitioners."
—Jeffrey H. Greenhaus, Drexel University
"By juxtapositioning parallel articles on youth, academic, and workplace mentoring on a various of topics – theory, practice, outcomes – this handbook spurs researchers in all three areas to broaden their thinking and challenge their current perspectives. I particularly enjoyed thinking about what was unique and what was common across the theoretical pathways through which mentoring benefits the protégé. Each type of mentoring has its unique features, but I found more commonality than I had expected before reading this book. The summary chapters at the end of each section were a particularly useful feature of the book."
—Jean B. Grossman, Princeton University
"This volume is truly ground-breaking in its integrative treatment of heretofore largely distinct bodies of scholarship on mentoring relationships within the diverse contexts of youth programs, higher education, and the workplace. Collectively, the contributions make a compelling case for not only the theoretical, but also the practical value of taking careful stock of the commonalities as well as the uniquenesses that characterize mentoring relationships across differing critical points in the life span. This handbook does a great deal to advance our understanding of mentoring relationships and how best to unlock their potential and, undoubtedly, will stimulate many further important advances in the field."
—David DuBois, University of Illinois at Chicago

Freud's Mass Psychology Questions of Scale - Celine Surprenant |

About the Book
Freud's Mass Psychology examines one of the key concepts in the theory of the psyche. Surprenant treats it as an epistemological issue rather than exclusively as a socio-political issue. Focusing on this neglected concept enables the author to raise anew the question of the 'application' of psychoanalysis, beyond a mechanistic understanding of this term and of Freud's writings. This study brings together important topics associated with psychoanalysis, recent French philosophy, and political thought. The original arguments that it develops should interest anyone preoccupied with the relevance of psychoanalytic concepts in philosophy and in related disciplines, notably in the field of literary studies.
CONTENTS
Psychoanalytic Concepts
Quantity, Mass and Metaphor
Sciences of the Crowd
On a Large Scale
Figurative Language According to Freud
Conclusion: ‘On Transience’
Reviews
'It is very rare for a writer on Freud to offer readers a whole new way of thinking about the language of psychoanalysis, but this is exactly what Céline Surprenant does in this remarkable volume. Taking Freud's neglected work on 'mass psychology' as her starting point, she explores with precision and audacity the astonishing concept-creating powers of the Freudian theoretical style.' - Professor Malcolm M. Bowie, Christ's College, University of Cambridge, UK
'An impressive accomplishment...By attending to the role of the neglected
concept of the 'mass', the author opens a novel and welcome perspective
onto the dynamics of Freudian psychoanalysis.' - Professor Daniel Conway, Department of Philosophy, Pennsylvania State University

"Over the past 25 years, research on the unconscious discovered that automatic processes can operate many complex functions commonly believed to require the involvement of consciousness. As impressive as these research findings were and still are, they are mute to the question of how automatic processes achieve their impressive effects. The principal authors of the chapters in Social Psychology and the Unconscious are of the next generation of automaticity researchers that addresses the question of ‘how’ head on. This is a vital resource for anybody who wishes to uncover why it is that higher mental processes benefit so much from automatic processes." - Peter Gollwitzer, Ph.D., Professor of Social–Personality Psychology, New York University
"The single greatest change in the landscape of social psychology in the last two decades has undoubtedly been the study of the unconscious, and of automatic processing of social information. In this book John Bargh, social psychology’s foremost ‘guru’ of automaticity, has assembled a blue-chip group of authors whose chapters provide state-of-the-art commentaries on what we have learned about automaticity and its effects in diverse domains of social life. Highly readable and enlightening, this book will be invaluable for researchers, teachers, and scholars throughout social psychology." - David L. Hamilton, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology, University of California, Santa Barbara
Evidence is mounting that we are not as in control of our judgments and behavior as we think we are. Unconscious or ‘automatic’ forms of psychological and behavioral processes are those of which we tend to be unaware, that occur without our intention or consent, yet influence us on a daily basis in profound ways. Automatic processes influence our likes and dislikes for almost everything, as well as how we perceive other people, such as when we make stereotypic assumptions about someone based on their race or gender or social class. Even more strikingly, the latest research is showing that the aspects of life that are the richest experience and most important to us - such as emotions and our close relationships, as well as the pursuit of our important life tasks and goals - also have substantial unconscious components.
Social Psychology and the Unconscious: The Automaticity of Higher Mental Processes offers a state-of-the-art review of the evidence and theory supporting the existence and the significance of automatic processes in our daily lives, with chapters by the leading researchers in this field today, across a spectrum of psychological phenomena from emotions and motivations to social judgment and behavior.
The volume provides an introduction and overview of these now central topics to graduate students and researchers in social psychology and a range of allied disciplines with an interest in human behavior and the unconscious, such as cognitive psychology, philosophy of mind, political science, and business.
Contents
1. What is Automaticity? An Analysis of Its Component Features and Their Interrelations.
2. Effects of Priming and Perception on Social Behavior and Goal Pursuit.
3. Automaticity in Close Relationships
4. On the automaticity of Emotion
5. The Automaticity of Evaluation
6. The Implicit Association Test at Age 7: A Methodological and Conceptual Review

About the Book
Contents
Applied psychology is a field that focuses on putting practical research into action. Applied psychology is the use of psychological methods and findings of scientific psychology to solve practical problems of human and animal behavior and experience. Mental health, organizational psychology, business management, education, health, product design, ergonomics, and law are just a few of the areas that have been influenced by the application of psychological principles and findings. In addition, a number of specialized areas in the general field of psychology have applied branches. However, the lines between subbranch specializations and major applied psychology categories are often blurred. For example, a human factors psychologist might use a cognitive psychology theory. This could be described as human factor psychology or as applied cognitive psychology. It is an ideal book for all areas of applied psychology options, including forensic, health psychology, educational psychology, sports psychology and counselling - for students on graduate
courses. This book will also be a valued addition to campus career centres.

About the Book
Abnormal psychology is the study of abnormal behavior in order to describe, predict, explain, and change abnormal patterns of functioning. Abnormal psychology studies the nature of psychopathology and its causes, and this knowledge is applied in clinical psychology to treating patients wit psychological disorders. There is evidence that some psychological disorders are more common than was previously thought. The concept of abnormality is imprecise and difficult to define. Examples of abnormality can take many different forms and involve different features, so that, what at first sight seem quite reasonable definitions, turns out to be quite problematical. There are several different ways in which it is possible to define 'abnormal' as opposed to our ideas of what is 'normal'. This book will provide graduate students, a comprehensive understanding of the features and epidemiologies, risk factors and prevention, assessment and treatment, and long-term prognosis and associated stigma of mental disorders.
