This book deals with recent perspectives on the panel of addiction behavior in a vast amount of population (young and adult). Thanks to the contribution of experts of the topic of addiction the volume will furnish new perspectives to formulate assessment, diagnosis and intervention in response to the increasing variety of addictions. It focuses the assessment of executive functions in substance and behavioral addictions. More specifically, this assessment consists of a new approach not only inherent to the diagnosis, but also to the treatment and prevention of addictions. In fact, there is a strict relationship between executive functions (EF) and addictive behavior: EF plays a remarkable role in significant phenomena for the treatment of addictions, such as craving, relapse and compliance to treatment.

Liminality has become a key concept within the social sciences, with a growing number of publications devoted to it in recent years. The concept is needed to address those aspects of human experience and social life that fall outside of ordered structures. In contrast to the clearly defined roles and routines that define so much of industrial work and economic life, it highlights spaces of transition, indefiniteness, ambiguity, play and creativity. Thus, it is an indispensable concept and a necessary counterweight to the overemphasis on structural influences on human behavior.This book aims to use the concept of liminality to develop a culturally and experientially sensitive psychology. This is accomplished by first setting out an original theoretical framework focused on understanding the 'liminal sources of cultural experience,' and second an application of concept to a number of different domains, such as tourism, pilgrimage, aesthetics, children's play, art therapy, and medical diagnosis. Finally, all these domains are then brought together in a concluding commentary chapter that puts them in relation to an overarching theoretical framework. This book will be useful for graduate students and researchers in cultural psychology, critical psychology, psychosocial psychology, developmental psychology, health psychology, anthropology and the social sciences, cultural studies among others.

Das Buch fasst internationale Studien über die Rolle der sozialen Medien für das psychische Wohlbefinden von Jugendlichen zusammen. Das Internet ist eine beliebte Plattform, die aus Sicht der Jugendlichen während der Pandemie noch mehr Aufmerksamkeit erhalten hat, da sie die Pflege von Kontakten, die Fortsetzung von Ausbildung und auch Freizeitaktivitäten ermöglichte. Als Konsequenz verbringen Jugendliche einen Großteil ihrer Zeit im Internet und dabei auch in den sozialen Medien. Dieses Buch gibt Einblicke in die positiven und negativen Auswirkungen des Internets und der sozialen Medien auf die psychische Gesundheit und digitale Abhängigkeit von Jugendlichen und greift Studien zu fünf Themenblöcken auf. Das Buch enthält einen systematischen Literaturüberblick auf der Grundlage maschinell generierter Inhalte. Fragen und zugehörige Schlüsselwörter wurden für die Maschine vorbereitet, die sie abgefragt, entdeckt, zusammengestellt und durch Clustering mit künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) strukturiert hat. Springer Nature hat in den letzten Jahren viel zu dem Thema in Zeitschriften veröffentlicht, so dass die Herausforderung für die Maschine darin bestand, die relevantesten Inhalte zu identifizieren und sie in einer strukturierten Weise zu präsentieren. Die automatisch generierten Literaturzusammenfassungen dienen Fachkräften aus den Bereichen Psychologie und Erziehungswissenschaften, aber auch Wissenschaftler:innen und Studierenden dazu, sich schnell einen Überblick über die aktuelle Entwicklung des Themas zu verschaffen. Sie sollen außerdem als Anregung und Impuls für aktuelle Forschungsfragen, für neue Strategien sowie für mögliche Lösungen in schwierigen Situationen nützlich sein.

This book applies the concept of cultural safety to the field of health psychology in a US context as a means to achieve health equity. First developed in New Zealand by M¿ori midwives, cultural safety can be understood as both a philosophy and a way of working within a social model of health as an alternative approach to understanding health and illness. Health, social, and human service professionals are at the forefront of interactions with a range of people who often experience disparities in health and social outcomes. In thirteen chapters, the authors explore the social determinants of health; the practices and pitfalls of intercultural communication; and community capacity, resilience, and strengths as correctives to discourses of deficiency. The book concludes with a comparative look at cultural safety in different national contexts, and a discussion of the value of critical reflective practice. Complete with chapter objectives, scenarios, suggested readings and films, and questions for critical thinking, this book is an invaluable resource for students and practitioners alike in health psychology and related fields, and a vital contribution to the literature on cultural safety.

 With the development of effective antiretroviral therapies (ART) in the mid-1990s, HIV became a treatable although serious condition, and people who are adherent to HIV medications can attain normal or near-normal life expectancies. Because of the success of ART, people 50 and older now make up a majority of people with HIV in high-income countries and other places where ART is accessible. The aging of the HIV epidemic is a global trend that is also being observed in low- and middle-income countries, including countries in sub-Saharan Africa, where the greatest number of older people with HIV reside (3.7 million). While globally over half of older adults with HIV are in sub-Saharan Africa, we have little information about the circumstances, needs, and resiliencies of this population, which limits our ability to craft effective policy and programmatic responses to aging with HIV in this region. At present, our understanding of HIV and aging is dominated by information from the U.S. and Western Europe, where the epidemiology of HIV and the infrastructure to provide social care are markedly different than in sub-Saharan Africa. Aging with HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa addresses this gap in our knowledge by providing current research and perspectives on a range of health and psychosocial topics concerning these older adults from across this region. This volume provides a unique and timely overview of growing older with HIV in a sub-Saharan African context, covering such topics as epidemiology, health and functioning, and social support, as well as policy and program implications to support those growing older with HIV.There are very few published volumes that address HIV and aging, and this is the first book to consider HIV and aging in sub-Saharan Africa. Most publications in this area focus on HIV and aging in Uganda and South Africa. This volume broadens the scope with contributions from authors working in West Africa, Botswana, and Kenya. The range of topics covered here will be useful to professionals in a range of disciplines including psychology, epidemiology, gerontology, sociology, health care, public health, and social work.

The Making of a Pandemic provides a systematic account of how societal and psychological forces shaped the Covid-19 pandemic. The first part focuses on how biological and societal factors interact to create a pandemic. The second part explores how characteristics of the American economy, the American approach to public health, and domestic and international inequality combined to prolong the pandemic, hamper mitigation efforts, and arouse opposition to cooperation with public health measures. The third part examines the psychological processes that led to resistance to efforts to mitigate the pandemic and linked the resistance to right-wing ideologies. The book concludes by looking at the limits of the technical and medical reforms others have proposed to protect us from repetitions of the Covid-19 disaster and by calling for a ¿deep confrontation¿ with the societal and psychological factors that created and shaped the pandemic.

Although there is agreement that well-being in school matters - for example, for student achievement, teacher optimal functioning, and school effectiveness - a more profound understanding is needed about the predictors, effects, and ways of promoting well-being in school. This topical volume presents up-to-date research on the role of well-being in school from the fields of educational sciences, educational psychology, and health science. The contributions investigate both teacher well-being and student well-being in different countries and by using various advanced methods.Importantly, well-being in school is understood in these articles as a multidimensional construct that takes the complexity of the term well-being and the educational setting into account. Accordingly, the contributors explore a range of approaches and instruments of how well-being in school can be investigated and discuss the benefits for individuals, schools, and educational systems in promoting well-being. The findings support the prominent role of well-being for students' and teachers' lives and encourage further research on well-being in school as there is a need for much more scientific knowledge in both theory and practice.
