Working with Dangerous People by Jones David Pdf

‘This book, written by people with an intimate knowledge of prisons and dangerous prisoners and their mental health and welfare, offers something of an antidote to the simply coercive and repressive. In the words of the editor, it offers ‘a humane approach to working with dangerous people... It should be a basic tenet of psychological work with clients that we are prepared and able to be in sympathy with them, to have some understanding of their despair’. This volume offers a contribution to ways of thinking about dangerous people and their behavior and working with them constructively, respectfully and possibly redemptive. I sincerely hope that this book will be read by all those concerned with offenders in whatever capacity, from clinicians to politicians, from policy makers to managers. It will well reward their interest and attention.’ Christopher Cordess, Psychoanalyst and Emeritus Professor of Forensic Psychiatry University of Sheffield

Preventing Violence by James Gilligan Pdf

In this controversial and compassionate book, the distinguished psychiatrist James Gilligan proposes a radically new way of thinking about violence and how to prevent it. Violence is most often addressed in moral and legal terms: "How evil is this action, and how much punishment does it deserve?" Unfortunately, this way of thinking, the basis for our legal and political institutions, does nothing to shed light on the causes of violence. Violent criminals have been Gilligan's teachers, and he has been their student. Prisons are microcosms of the societies in which they exist, and by examining them in detail, we can learn about society as a whole. Gilligan suggests treating violence as a public health problem. He advocates initiating radical social and economic change to attack the root causes of violence, focusing on those at increased risk of becoming violent, and dealing with those who are already violent as if they were in quarantine rather than in constraint for their punishment and for society's revenge. The twentieth century was steeped in violence. If we attempt to understand the violence of individuals, we may come to prevent the collective violence that threatens our future far more than all the individual crimes put together.

Hitler: Philosopher King by Mark Morris Pdf

Hitler and the NSDAP are a social and historical phenomenon, and this book proposes that Hitler’s Aspergic personality and postmodern philosophy combined to enable both his personal political success and then the nature of the regime that he constructed. Hitler himself was clearly not a normal human being; genius and exceptional in some areas, his Asperger’s enabled him to single-mindedly pursue personal and political power. Nietzsche’s crystallisation of the previous century and a half of German idealism in a rigorous moral and cultural nihilism, was reified and rolled out with Weberian bureaucratic and Prussian militaristic efficiency. The post modern state created did not rest on history, religious or cultural traditions. Ideology was shaped instrumentally in order to yield the maximal amount of the only currency that survives the caustic deconstruction of postmodernism, namely power itself.

Managerial Agency: Social and Psychological Power in Leadership by Mark Morris Pdf

Managerial Agency describes the science of psychological influence and its use in leadership. Combining psychological, and sociological with leadership literatures, Managerial Agency provides a model of operating, and a method for managers to achieve their aims through the work of their colleagues. The Managerial Agent influences team members and bosses to accept and adopt their viewpoint and priorities as their own, so being self motivated to carry them out. Managerial Agency borrows from the sociology of agency, authority and power; from the psychology of development, identity and personality and from theories of groups, politics and culture marrying these insights with those in organisational, leadership and charisma theory and practice. The Managerial Agent targets their colleagues’ “habitus”, their inner construct of values, views and attitudes; shaping it to conform to the Managerial Agent’s own, thus creating an organisational or industrial ally in achieving their aims.

The Ethics of Interpersonal Relationships by Joyce Catlett,Robert W. Firestone Pdf

Writing this book springs from a deep feeling for people and a grave concern that without a proper understanding of the reasons for their inhumanity in relation to one another and the development of a compassionate world view, it is likely that human beings may eventually destroy themselves and life on the planet. This work is an attempt to explain the source of destructive behaviour and how it manifests itself in personal relationships between men, women, couples, and families, and in the social arena. The author presents a position that offers a hope of altering the destiny of humankind's unethical behavior through better psychological understanding and education. Understanding the source of a person's aggressiveness in defending the fantasy bond and learning to cope with the voice process have strong implications for child-rearing and better mental health practices.
