A Theory of Subjective Wellbeing (Philosophy, Politics, and Economics)
by Mark FabianThe study of 'subjective wellbeing' has seen explosive growth in recent decades, opening important new discourses in personality and social psychology, happiness economics, and moral philosophy. Now it is moving into the policy domain. In this it has arguably overstepped its limits. The shallow theoretical base of subjective wellbeing research, the limitations of its measurement instruments, and its ethical naivety makes policymaking on the basis of its findings a risky venture. The present volume is an attempt to shore up these weaknesses and set subjective wellbeing scholarship on a course for several more decades of growth and maturity. It presents a theory of subjective wellbeing in two parts. The first is the subjective wellbeing production function-a model of wellbeing as outcome. The second is the coalescence of being: a model of the self-actualisation process by which wellbeing is achieved. This two-part model integrates not only ideas in SWB studies and analytical philosophy, but also ideas from clinical, moral, and developmental psychology, continental philosophy, and welfare economics. Importantly, this theory is ethically sensitive, bridging the gap between psychological and philosophical perspectives on wellbeing that illuminates the complexities facing the application of subjective wellbeing in public policy. The book also provides a thorough review of various ways complex theories of subjective wellbeing can be studied empirically, and the hard trade offs between long surveys that capture the richness of the concept and the short surveys that are feasible in the context of social surveys and policy analysis.

Theory of Subjectivity from a Cultural-Historical Standpoint: González Rey’s Legacy (Perspectives in Cultural-Historical Research #9)
by Daniel Magalhães Goulart Albertina Mitjáns Martínez Megan AdamsThis book examines key ideas related to the Theory of Subjectivity within a cultural-historical approach. It brings together the intellectual contributions made by Professor Fernando González Rey (1949–2019) towards understanding human subjectivity, and emphasizing their unfolding in different fields and contexts. The book addresses the genesis and development of González Rey’s work, articulating this discussion with the author’s biography. González Rey’s main scientific contribution is the Theory of Subjectivity in a cultural-historical perspective, which is inseparable from Qualitative Epistemology and from its constructive-interpretive methodological expression. The book presents and discusses González Rey’s contributions to different contexts and fields, such as psychological research, education, cultural-historical psychology, human development, motivation, human health and psychotherapy. This book brings together examples of how these ideas have been employed and developed in different fields and contexts.
A Theory of System Justification
by John T. JostA leading psychologist explains why nearly all of us—including many of those who are persecuted and powerless—so often defend the social systems that cause misery and injustice. Why do we so often defend the very social systems that are responsible for injustice and exploitation? In A Theory of System Justification, John Jost argues that we are motivated to defend the status quo because doing so serves fundamental psychological needs for certainty, security, and social acceptance. We want to feel good not only about ourselves and the groups to which we belong, but also about the overarching social structure in which we live, even when it hurts others and ourselves. Jost lays out the wide range of evidence for his groundbreaking theory and examines its implications for our communities and our democracy. Drawing on twenty-five years of research, he provides an accessible account of system justification theory and its insights. System justification helps to explain deep contradictions, including the feeling among some women that they don’t deserve the same salaries as men and the tendency of some poor people to vote for policies that increase economic inequality. The theory illuminates the most pressing social and political issues of our time—why has it been so hard to combat anthropogenic climate change?—as well as some of the most intimate—why do some black children prefer white dolls to black ones and why do some people stay in bad relationships? Jost’s theory has far-reaching implications, and he offers numerous insights that political activists and social justice advocates can use to promote change.

He provides an insider's account of the reforms in CITIC, a rare narrative that should be essential reading for scholars and practitioners who care about the theory and practice of the firm, in particular in the context of Chinese enterprise reform.

A Theory of Tutelary Relationships
by Cristiano CastelfranchiThe purpose of the book is to propose and exploit an analytical, critical, well defined theory of a very crucial human social relation that I call “Tutelarity/ Tutelage”. This will thus explain how/why such relation is so relevant at any layer of sociality: from affective relationships, to social cooperation and interactions, to politics and democracy. The approach is theoretical and strongly grounded on cognitive science and the models of human mind: beliefs, desires, expectations, emotions, etc. Written in an accessible way, it will be of interest for a large audience, specifically to researchers and scientists interested in cognitive science and the dynamics of social relationships alike.
Theory, Research and Dynamics of Career Wellbeing: Becoming Fit for the Future

Therapeutengeführte Gespräche mit schizophrenen Patienten über ihre eigenen Bilder in der Kunsttherapie: Eine quantitative Einzelfallstudie mittels Text- und Stimmanalyse
by Yvonne SprotteAnhand einer explorativen Studie an Patienten mit chronischen Verlaufsformen der Schizophrenie wird in diesem Buch untersucht, ob eine Gruppen-Kunsttherapie mit anschließender Bildbesprechung das Kommunikationsverhalten der Patienten beeinflussen kann. Als potenzielle Indikatoren für das Kommunikationsverhalten werden Merkmale der Stimme und Sprache gewählt, die mit objektiven technischen Analyseverfahren erfasst werden. Sieben Patienten nahmen über einen Zeitraum von sechs Monaten an einer wöchentlichen Kunsttherapie in der Gruppe teil. Hier waren sie bildnerisch tätig. Im Einzelinterview nach drei bis vier Tagen sprachen sie dann mit der Autorin über ihr eigenes Bild, und zwar in Form eines standardisierten Leitfadeninterviews, das digital aufgezeichnet wurde. Die Audiodokumente werden mit validierten computergestützten Analyseverfahren ausgewertet; es werden Veränderungen bei Stimmanalyse-Faktoren gemessen, die eine Aktivierung von Emotionen belegen. Sie lassen sich naheliegend als Ergebnis eines kathartischen Heilungsprozesses interpretieren. Die in dieser Studie vorgestellten Methoden haben das Potenzial, einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur quantitativen Erforschung der Wirksamkeit und Wirkweise der Kunsttherapie zu leisten.

Therapeutic Applications of Dopamine D3 Receptor Function: New Insight After 30 Years Of Research (Current Topics in Behavioral Neurosciences #60)
by Isabelle Boileau Ginetta ColloThe CTBN volume Therapeutic Applications of Dopamine D3 Receptor Function reviews the state of the knowledge on the dopamine D3 receptor and its role in human behavior and disease (i.e.: neuropsychiatric illnesses including schizophrenia, mood disorders, Parkinson’s disease, restless legs syndrome, addictions and substance use disorders). The volume is written by leading experts across multidisciplinary areas (imaging, biobehavioral testing and clinical trials, preclinical models / molecular pharmacology) converging on the therapeutic implications / potential of the D3 receptor.The D3 dopamine receptor is a member of the D2-like family of G protein-coupled receptors. It was cloned and characterized almost 25 years ago. A key feature of the D3 dopamine receptor system, which has attracted considerable attention, is its anatomical localization remarkably restricted to the limbic circuitry. This has spurred the hypothesis that D3 involvement could contribute to the pathophysiology of neuropsychiatric disorders (or to some features of neuropsychiatric disorders), including but not limited to psychosis, addictions and substance abuse, mood and movement disorders.
