Memory and Brain

Written by a leading neuropsychologist, this book brings together the widely scattered psychological and neurobiological work on memory to create a definitive overview of current knowledge. Reflecting the many levels of analysis at which this work is taking place, the book proceeds from the synapse to a review of the function and structure of neural systems and the organization of cognition. Throughout, the author places current research in historical perspective, and identifies major ideas and themes that have emerged in recent years in order to provide a solid foundation for future investigations. The book is amply illustrated and contains a useful glossary. It will be of use in advanced undergraduate and graduate courses on memory, and to psychologists and neuroscientists desiring an account of memory that is informed equally by cognitive and neurobiological insights.

Fears, Phobias and Rituals: Panic, Anxiety, and Their Disorders

This book draws on fields as diverse as biochemistry, physiology, pharmacology, psychology, psychiatry, and ethology, to form a fascinating synthesis of information on the nature of fear and of panic and anxiety disorders. Dr. Marks offers both a detailed discussion of the clinical aspects of fear-related syndromes and a broad exploration of the sources and mechanisms of fear and defensive behavior. Dealing first with normal fear, he establishes a firm, scientific basis for understanding it. He then presents a thorough analysis of the development, symptoms and treatment of fear-related syndromes. Phobic and obsessive-compulsive disorders are examined in detail. The book is illustrated with examples of fear and defensive behavior in other living organisms. By drawing provocative analogies between animal and human behavior, it sheds new light on the origins of fears, phobias, and obsessive-compulsive problems, as well as on their treatment by drugs and psychological means. Clinical psychologists, ethologists, and anyone interested in the mechanisms of behavior will be fascinated by this authoritative study. The text is intriguing and informative, and the bibliography of over 2,100 entries makes it an invaluable reference.

Profile Analysis: Auditory Intensity Discrimination (Oxford Psychology Series)

This book brings together recent research on the ability of human listeners to discern changes in the shape of complex acoustic spectra. It systematically discusses issues surrounding the discrimination of a change in acoustic intensity and the physiological mechanisms responsible for this process. The book also proposes two new theories which attempt to explain spectral shape discrimination on the basis of more elementary auditory processes. The research described here is helping scientists gain a better understanding of auditory skills such as those involved in listening to music and speech.

Advances in Clinical Child Psychology (Advances in Clinical Child Psychology #11)

With this volume, Advances in Clinical Child Psychology enters its second decade. The goal of the series is to provide clinicians and researchers in the fields of clinical child psychology, child psychiatry, school psychol­ ogy, and related disciplines with an annual compilation of statements that summarize the new data, concepts, and techniques that advance our ability to help troubled children. Looking forward, the series intends to highlight the emerging developments that will guide our field of inquiry and practice; looking back, the eleven volumes in the series provide an interesting chronicle of changes in our understanding. Each year, scholars are chosen whose recent work is on the leading edge of clinical child psychology and its sibling disciplines, who offer potentially important new theoretical viewpoints, or who are well qualified to discuss topics of emerging importance that are not identified with one particular laboratory. Perhaps more than in any previous vol­ ume, the authors of the present volume have achieved fully the goals of the series. Volume 11 is a rich source of exciting ideas, important new information, and cogent analysis. The topics of these chapters, moreover, can be seen to represent the important broad themes in clinical child psychology today. The volume begins with two chapters that describe emerging theoretical perspectives.

Advances in Social Cognition, Volume I: A Dual Process Model of Impression Formation (Advances in Social Cognition Series)

This volume presents different perspectives on a dual model of impression formation -- a theory about how people form impressions about other people by combining information about a person with prior knowledge found in long-term memory. This information is of real importance to graduate students and advanced undergraduates in cognitive and social psychology, experimental psychology, social cognition and perception. Each volume in the series will contain a target article on a recent theoretical development pertinent to current study followed by critical commentaries offering varying theoretical viewpoints. This productive dialogue concludes with a reply by the target article author. The first volume of the series presents an evaluation of theoretical advances in social cognition and information processing from new and different perspectives. Volume 2 presents a new conceptualization of personality and social cognition by Cantor and Kihlstrom which addresses both new and old issues.

Affektive Störungen: Diagnostische, epidemiologische, biologische und therapeutische Aspekte

Der Begriff "affektive Störungen" fehlt bisher in den deutschsprachigen psychiatrischen Lehr- und Handbüchern. Das Buch vermittelt Ärzten und klinischen Psychologen einen umfassenden Überblick über den aktuellen Wissensstand der affektiven Störungen, also Krankheitsbilder, die in ihrem gesamten Verlauf durch das Vorherrschen von Affektstörungen vornehmlich manischer, depressiver oder ängstlicher Färbung geprägt sind. Die Probleme der Klassifikation und Erfassung affektiver Störungen werden ebenso beschrieben wie ihre Verbreitung in der Bevölkerung und ihr Verlauf bei behandelten und unbehandelten Fällen unter besonderer Berücksichtigung von Risikofaktoren. Daneben werden die hormonelle Regulation und die Schlafphysiologie angesprochen sowie pharmakologische und psychologische Behandlungsansätze und ihre theoretischen Grundlagen. Das Buch vermittelt dem Leser den neuesten Erkenntnisstand auf diesem Gebiet und will ihn durch Herausarbeitung ungeklärter Fragen und durch Hinweise auf einschlägige Arbeiten zur intensiven Beschäftigung mit den Problemen der affektiven Störungen sowie den Möglichkeiten angemessener Hilfsmaßnahmen für den von ihnen Betroffenen anregen.
