Autobiographical Memory and the Self Relationship and Implications for Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy

Autobiographical Memory and the Self Relationship and Implications for Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy

Autobiographical memory shapes our understanding of ourselves guides our behaviour and helps us to develop and maintain relationships with others. The ways in which we interpret and narrate our memories have important implications for our psychological well-being and can sometimes contribute to the onset and maintenance of a variety of psychological disorders. Autobiographical Memory and the Self: Relationship and Implications for Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy synthesises the growing cognitive social personality and clinical psychological literature on the memory-self relationship. It creates an interdisciplinary dialogue which explores autobiographical memory and its relevance for clinical practice especially cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT). The authors propose a model for understanding the mechanisms of change involved in therapeutic interventions targeting negative or traumatic memories whilst providing insights into recent debates and avenues for future research. Autobiographical Memory and the Self will be useful to clinicians and clinical trainees researchers and psychology postgraduate students. | Autobiographical Memory and the Self Relationship and Implications for Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy

Portraits from Memory And Other Essays

Portraits from Memory And Other Essays

‘I have come to think that one of the main causes of trouble in the world is dogmatic and fanatical belief in some doctrine for which there is no adequate evidence. ’ – Bertrand Russell Portraits from Memory Portraits from Memory is one of Bertrand Russell’s most self-reflective and engaging books. Whilst not intended as an autobiography it is a vivid recollection of some of his celebrated contemporaries such as George Bernard Shaw Sidney and Beatrice Webb and D. H. Lawrence. Russell provides some arresting and sometimes amusing insights into writers with whom he corresponded. He was fascinated by Joseph Conrad with whom he formed a strong emotional bond writing that his Heart of Darkness was not just a story but an expression of Conrad’s ‘philosophy of life’. There are also some typically pithy Russellian observations; H. G. Wells ‘derived his importance from quantity rather than quality’ whilst after a brief and fraught friendship Russell thought D. H. Lawrence ‘had no real wish to make the world better but only to indulge in eloquent soliloquy about how bad it was’. This engaging book also includes some of Russell’s customary razor-sharp essays on a rich array of subjects from his ardent pacifism liberal politics and morality to the ethics of education the skills of good writing and how he came to philosophy as a young man. These include ‘A Plea for Clear Thinking’ ‘A Philosophy for Our Time’ and ‘How I Write’. Portraits from Memory is Russell at his best and will enthrall those new to Russell as well as those already well-acquainted with his work. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new foreword by the Russell scholar Nicholas Griffin editor of The Selected Letters of Bertrand Russell. | Portraits from Memory And Other Essays

Social Aspects of Memory Stories of Victims and Perpetrators from Bosnia-Herzegovina

Social Aspects of Memory presents a compelling study of how ordinary people remember war. Whilst the book focuses on the cities of Sarajevo and East Sarajevo during the 1992-1995 war in Bosnia-Herzegovina Jeftić also presents narratives from other war-torn cities and countries around the world. This book adopts a unique approach by looking at how perpetrators and victims (as well as new generations who may not remember the war directly) manage in the aftermath of war. Jeftić explores how our memories of war and violence are formed and how we can learn to reconcile those memories individually and as a collective. Drawing on the author’s own extensive empirical research the book explores the connections between memories for significant war events transgenerational transmission of memories bias for in-group wrongdoings and readiness for reconciliation between two groups. Giving a voice to underrepresented narratives and prioritising the importance of expression as a necessary catalyst for reconciliation this book is essential reading for those interested in collective and transgenerational memory and memory studies especially in relation to the aftermath of the 1992-1995 war in Bosnia-Herzegovina. | Social Aspects of Memory Stories of Victims and Perpetrators from Bosnia-Herzegovina

Conquest and Redemption A History of Jewish Assets from the Holocaust

Conquest and Redemption A History of Jewish Assets from the Holocaust

In Conquest and Redemption Gregg J. Rickman explains how the Nazis stole the possessions of their Jewish victims and obtained the cooperation of institutions across Europe in these crimes of convenience. He also describes how those institutions are being brought to justice sixty years later for their retention of their ill-gotten gains. Rickman not only explains how the robbery was accomplished tracked stalled and then finally reversed but also clearly shows the ways in which robbery was inextricably connected to the murder of the Jews. The Nazis took everything from Jews-their families their possessions and even their names. As with the murder of Jews the Nazis' robbery was an organized institutionalized effort. Jews were isolated robbed and left homeless regarded as parasites in the Nazis' eyes and thus fair game. In short the organized robbery of the Jews facilitated their slaughter. How did the German people come to believe that it was permissible to isolate outlaw rob and murder Jews? A partial explanation can be found in the Nazis' creation of a virtual religion of German nationalism and homogeneity that delegitimized Jews as a people and as individuals. This belief system was expressed through a complex structure of religious rules practices and institutions. While Nazi ideology was the guiding principle how that ideology was formed and how it was applied is important to understand if one is to fully grasp the Holocaust. Rickman painstakingly describes the structural composition and motivation for the plundering of Jewish assets. The Holocaust will always remain a memory of unequalled pain and suffering but as Rickman shows the return of stolen goods to their survivors is a partial victory for the long aggrieved. Conquest and Redemption will be of interest to students and scholars in the history of the Holocaust and its aftermath. | Conquest and Redemption A History of Jewish Assets from the Holocaust
