Arising from the Cohens' work on the epidemiology of childhood psychopathology, this book explores the two aspects of motivational structure--ideas and values--that underlie the development of maladaptive functioning and symptoms. The first aspect is a measure of what children admire in their peers; this measure is seen as an operationalization of personal ideals. The second is a measure of life goals, seen as a representation of the contemporary structure of long-term personal values.

Despite the considerable amount of attention given in the popular press and among social critics and...

Now in paperback from New York Times reporter Patricia Cohen, a "lively, well-researched chronicle" (The New York Times Book Review) of the concept of middle age, from the nineteenth century to the present.

The director behind the Hollywood close-up and the inventor of the "midlife crisis," the doctors who promised to restore men's sexual vigor with monkey gland transplants and the neuroscientists mapping the middle-aged brain, the fashion designers and the feminists: They are all part of the fascinating parade of businessmen, entertainers, scientists, and hucksters...

This innovative volume demonstrates the use of a range of statistical approaches that examine "turning points" (a change in direction, magnitude, or meaning) in real data. Analytic techniques are illustrated with real longitudinal data from a variety of fields. As such the book will appeal to a variety of researchers including:

• Developmental researchers interested in identifying factors precipitating turning points at various life stages.
• Medical or substance abuse researchers looking for turning points in disease or recovery.
• Social researchers interested...

In 1836, the murder of a young prostitute made headlines in New York City and around the country, inaugurating a sex-and-death sensationalism in news reporting that haunts us today. Patricia Cline Cohen goes behind these first lurid accounts to reconstruct the story of the mysterious victim, Helen Jewett.
From her beginnings as a servant girl in Maine, Helen Jewett refashioned herself, using four successive aliases, into a highly paid courtesan. She invented life stories for herself that helped her build a sympathetic clientele among New York City's elite, and she further captivated her...

Prezentowany w niniejszej książce program stanowi rozbudowaną i kompleksową propozycję oddziaływań osadzonych w perspektywie rozwojowej. Zaproponowane poziomy rozwojowe w nauczaniu teorii umysłu uwzględniają trzy poziomy procesów poznawczych: percepcję (co ludzie mogą zobaczyć), wiedzę (co ludzie wiedzą) oraz przekonania (co ludzie myślą) o rzeczach, które są prawdziwe lub fałszywe.

Program podzielony został na sześć poziomów:

POZIOM 1: PROSTE PRZYJMOWANIE PERSPEKTYWY – Rozumienie, że dziecko i nauczyciel mogą widzieć różne rzeczy.

POZIOM 2: ZŁOŻONE...

Teoria umysłu (proces czytania w umyśle) to intuicyjna zdolność do rozumienia własnych i cudzych stanów umysłowych. Dzięki tej umiejętności możemy odczytywać intencje innych ludzi w oparciu o akty ich zachowania lub wypowiedzi. Możemy nie tylko wyrazić proste pragnienia, oczekiwania, sądy i przekonania, ale także skomplikowane zależności pomiędzy stanami mentalnymi różnych osób, np. „ja wiem, że ty wiesz, że ja wiem”. Zdolność do czytania w umyśle jest konieczna, by rozumieć ironię czy humor, metaforę, sarkazm lub kłamstwo – a więc to, co wykracza poza...

The aims of this volume are to highlight the tremendous pharmacological potential of protein kinase and protein phosphatase inhibitors, to provide a thorough overview of the most remarkable achievements in the field and to illustrate how beneficial these studies can be for the advancement of both basic knowledge on biological regulation and deregulation and for the clinical treatment of a wide spectrum of diseases. This goal is attained by contributions of leader investigators in the field, who address the issue from different angles.

This book begins with the assumption that a deep understanding of the origins of psychopathology, human dysfunction, and their course is fundamental to the quest for the good society, and perhaps, even to our survival as a species. The studies presented compare prevalences and risk factors across time and place, and make use of concepts and methods from history, geography, sociology, anthropology, economics, psychology, social and medical services research, social policy, psychiatry, and epidemiology. Collectively, they illustrate the methods and methodological difficulties involved in the...
