Prisoners Of Hate - The Cognitive Basis of Anger Hostility and Violence

Aaron T. Beck

Sinopse

A comprehensive study of the dysfunctional thinking that results in destructive behavior, as well as suggestions for remedying these problems.

World-renowned psychiatrist Dr. Aaron T. Beck, widely hailed as the father of cognitive therapy, presents a revolutionary and eye-opening look at destructive behavior in Prisoners of Hate. He applies his established principles on the relationships between thinking processes and emotional and behavioral expressions to the dark side of humanity. In fascinating detail, he demonstrates that basic components of destructive behavior—domestic abuse, bigotry, genocide, and war—share common patterns with everyday frustrations in our lives. A book that will radically alter our thinking on violence in all its forms, Prisoners of Hate provides a solid framework for remedying these crucial problems.

“A breathtaking experience. Beck’s explanations are so clear, obvious and practical that you feel a surge of hope. Prisoners of Hate is a clear review of the world’s most important psychological theory, and is virtually a workbook on how to prevent violence. . . . A book that does so many important things so well can only be called a masterpiece.” —Philadelphia Inquirer

“A brilliant book, deeply needed in today’s world. Dr. Beck brings to bear both immense knowledge and creative intelligence to synthesize this amazingly practical, yet never too simple book of advice and insight.’— Edward M. Hallowell, MD, author of Worry and Connect

John Bridges, Bryan Curtis

A gentleman knows the importance of effectively expressing, in three or four sentences, his thanks for a gift or for a job interview, conveying his sympathy, or saying he is sorry. A Gentleman Pens a Note takes away the fear and discomfort a man experiences when faced with the task of writing a note by giving instruction and example in the proven style of the other GentleManners books.A Gentleman Pens a Note contains examples of more than 40 different handwritten notes, as well as sentences to avoid. It also includes aphorisms and sidebars on subjects such as stationery, pens, and pre-printed notes.A gentleman does not expect a response when he has sent a thank-you note (or even a thank-you gift).A gentleman knows that words such as "Thank You," "Congratulations," or "With sympathy," will mean a great deal more written in his own hand than when gold-embossed by a printer.

Criminology Goes to the Movies -...

Michelle Brown, Nicole Rafter

A “deftly written and absorbing” look at how films reflect concepts in criminology and affect our perceptions of criminal behavior (Richard Rosenfeld, coauthor of Crime and the American Dream). From Psycho to Double Indemnity to Thelma & Louise, Nicole Rafter and Michelle Brown show that criminological theory is produced not only in the academy through scholarly research, but also in popular culture through film. Criminology Goes to the Movies connects with ways in which students are already thinking criminologically through engagements with popular culture, encouraging them to use the everyday world as a vehicle for theorizing and understanding both crime and perceptions of criminality.   The first work to bring a systematic and sophisticated criminological perspective to bear on crime films, Rafter and Brown’s book provides a fresh way of looking at cinema using the concepts and analytical tools of criminology to uncover previously unnoticed meanings in film, ultimately making the study of criminological theory more engaging and effective for students while simultaneously demonstrating how theories of crime circulate in our mass-mediated worlds. With chapters focusing on films including Do the Right Thing, Capturing the Friedmans, and more, the result is an illuminating new way of seeing movies and a delightful way of learning about criminology.
