        Recovery-Oriented Cognitive Therapy for Serious Mental Health Conditions

        by Beck

        From pioneering treatment developers, this book describes recovery-oriented cognitive therapy (CT-R). This evidence-based approach empowers people given a serious mental health diagnosis such as schizophrenia to build a better life in their chosen community. CT-R provides innovative strategies to help individuals shift from a "patient" mode to an adaptive mode of living and take positive steps to pursue valued aspirations. Vivid case vignettes and sample dialogues illustrate ways to access the adaptive mode with people experiencing negative symptoms, delusions, hallucinations, communication difficulties, self-harming or aggressive behavior, and other challenges.

        Stone Tools & the Evolution of Human Cognition

        by April Nowell (Editor) , Iain Davidson (Editor)

        Stone tools are the most durable and common type of archaeological remain and one of the most important sources of information about behaviours of early hominins. This book develops methods for examining questions of cognition, demonstrating the progression of mental capabilities from early hominins to modern humans through the archaeological record. Dating as far back as 2.5-2.7 million years ago, stone tools were used in cutting up animals, woodworking, and preparing vegetable matter. Today, lithic remains give archaeologists insight into the forethought, planning, and enhanced working memory of our early ancestors. Contributors focus on multiple ways in which archaeologists can investigate the relationship between tools and the evolving human mind-including joint attention, pattern recognition, memory usage, and the emergence of language. Offering a wide range of approaches and diversity of place and time, the chapters address issues such as skill, social learning, technique, language, and cognition based on lithic technology. Stone Tools and the Evolution of Human Cognition will be of interest to Paleolithic archaeologists and paleoanthropologists interested in stone tool technology and cognitive evolution.

        Is the Visual World a Grand Illusion?

        by Noe, Alva, B01

        There is a traditional scepticism about whether the world "out there" really is as we perceive it. A new breed of hyper-sceptics now challenges whether we even have the perceptual experience we think we have. According to these writers, perceptual...

        How expert opinions keep changing on life, the universe, and everything

        by Martin Cohen

        This book offers vital clues for understanding not only the way knowledge develops, but also into the dangers of accepting too readily or too uncritically the claims of experts of all kinds — even philosophical ones! The claims are invariably presented as objective fact, yet are rooted in human subjectivity.

        DYSLEXIA DISMANTLED

        A practical breakdown of the myths and realities of dyslexia

        by Laughton King

        Finally, an insightful, clear and practical breakdown of the realities of dyslexia, from the author’s own life experience. This exposition of the thinking, learning and living style that characterise the dyslexic individual is written equally for the educator, the parent and the struggling dyslexic himself. Eighteen myths dispelled, 61 personal characteristics outlined, and a raft of indicators examined, this book will help a large section of the population understand their own normality, their own intact and integrated thinking style, and allow them to take positive charge of their learning processes and their functioning in society. There is nothing wrong with their brain wiring, they are not deficient, they do not need medication. As a diesel motor differs from a petrol engine, the so-called ‘dyslexic’ differs from the non-dyslexic in a simple and rudimentary way. The Western world has a modern education system based around language as the prime learning tool – teaching, learning and assessment are typically language-based. The ‘dyslexic’ person is disadvantaged in this system, not only because is he a pictorial thinker, but because of a lesser capacity to use 'internal dialogue', he is unable to process the language-based education system at a competitive level.

        REACHING THE RELUCTANT LEARNER

        A manual of strategies for teachers and parents

        by Laughton King

        This very practical and helpful manual focuses on the learning difficulties that come under the ‘umbrella’ notion of ‘Dyslexia’. The author examines why such difficulties are so common in our schools - right around the English-speaking world - and before giving parents and teachers insights as to how to work usefully with these children, demonstrates what the world is like from the inside for these children. He looks at how these children think, at how they understand the world, at the impact on their behaviour, and at what life is like for them – on the inside. He includes a biographical section based around his own personal experiences as a ‘dyslexic’ child. In clarifying the fundamental differences between linguistic and pictorial thinking styles, and the connection between learning difficulty and behaviour problems, this book opens the way for parents and teachers to reach, and therefore to effectively teach so-called reluctant learners.

        75 Ways to Positive Outlook

        Illustrated With One Liners On Each Page For A Quick Read

        by Aishwarya Kalyan

        V&S Publishers, with a view to help people in their need to save time and yet read to learn, has put forth, 75 popular quotes, anecdotes or sayings in this one of a kind unique book 75 Ways to a Positive Outlook, in which every Tip/Hack on each page is supported by a caricature type illustration. The concept behind making this out-of-the-box book is– “A picture is worth a thousand words”, which is a well-known adage meaning that a number of different ideas can be conveyed by a single image more effectively than a verbal description. People instead of reading a text, opt for videos or images on social media for learning and leisure reading. We, at V&S Publishers, have already embraced this philosophy in this book knowing well that static pictures leave a larger impact on readers than text. Instead of using old school definitions and textual descriptions, the book uses a one liner with an illustration on each page similar to posts or memes on social media to convey the idea. This book is a part of a series having 10 books with each dedicated to a different idea like happiness, riches, health etc. This book, in the shortest way possible, provides ‘75 Ways to a Positive Outlook’ for the common man. The book is suitable for all age groups and is a simple fun read.
