Narcissism in Personality, Pathology and Psychotherapy

"This timely volume questions our understanding of the highly current concept and phenomenon of narcissism, working from a broad psychotherapeutic perspective. Making a strong case for revising the formal diagnostic criteria of narcissistic personality disorder, this work argues for an approach that includes not just grandiose but also vulnerable manifestations of narcissistic pathology. It documents how inconsistent applications of the concept of narcissism have caused confusion in the field, creating a need for new definitions and deeper understanding. In doing so, this book offers specific suggestions for how best to treat people with narcissistic personality pathology in modern relational psychotherapy, whilst also discussing the notion of healthy forms of narcissism. Presented with insights from deep clinical experience and a broad theoretical base, this title offers a key resource for treatment professionals working with narcissistic patients, those currently living with narcissism, and anyone with an interest in this deeply fascinating topic."

The Mind-Gut Connection (10th Anniversary Edition): How the Hidden Conversation Within Our Bodies Impacts Our Mood, Our Choices, and Our Overall Health

"Cutting-edge neuroscience combines with the latest discoveries on the human microbiome to inform this practical guide that proves once and for all the inextricable, biological link between mind and body. We have all experienced the connection between our mind and our gut-the decision we made because it "felt right;" the butterflies in our stomach before a big meeting; the anxious stomach rumbling when we're stressed out. While the dialogue between the gut and the brain has been recognized by ancient healing traditions, including Aryuvedic and Chinese medicine, Western medicine has failed to appreciate the complexity of how the brain, gut, and more recently, the microbiome-the microorganisms that live inside us-communicate with one another. In The Mind-Gut Connection, Dr. Emeran Mayer, Executive Director of the UCLA Center for Neurobiology of Stress, offers a revolutionary look at this developing science, teaching us how to harness the power of the mind-gut connection to take charge of our health. The Mind-Gut Connection, shows how to keep the communication brain-gut communication clear and balanced to: • Heal the gut by focusing on a plant-based diet • Balance the microbiome by consuming fermented foods and probiotics, fasting, and cutting out sugar and processed foods • Promote weight loss by detoxifying and creating a healthy digestion and maximum nutrient absorption • Boost immunity and prevent the onset of neurological diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's • Generate a happier mindset and reduce fatigue, moodiness, anxiety, and depression • Prevent and heal GI disorders such as leaky gut syndrome; food sensitivities and allergies; and IBS; as well as digestive discomfort such as heartburn and bloating • And much more.

Wired for Wonder: Dispatches on Technology, Culture, God, and Self

"An exploration of what it means to be human in a technological age. Like it or not, tech is part of the air we breathe. Figuring out how to navigate—to use, not to use, how to use—new technologies has become an unavoidable part of twenty-first-century life. New technologies are everywhere, and they're breathlessly marketed to us as good, even while almost every sociological measure says we're not doing well. In Wired for Wonder, writer and editor Aaron Cline Hanbury explores big questions related to how technology shapes and reshapes our world. What does it mean to be human when AI can do more and more? Does technological advancement necessarily mean human progress? Hanbury asks practical, day-to-day questions about how we interact with tech in everyday life. Where is our attention going, and who is buying it? Fundamentally, this book asks the age-old question: How do we relate to the stuff we make? Just because we can make something, does that mean we should? Through relatable, regular-person dispatches from the intersections of technology, faith, and the everyday, Wired for Wonder gives voice to those who wonder if this technocentric moment makes our world—and us—better or worse."

The Church in Dark Times: Understanding and Resisting the Evil That Seduced the Evangelical Movement

"We expect evil to appear in obvious forms: malice, cruelty, and contempt. We also expect to find villains at the helm of evil movements and organizations, leaders with dark impulses and motivations. But all too often, malevolence is more subtle, hiding behind our own best intentions. In The Church in Dark Times, cultural critic Mike Cosper unveils this dynamic in the growing crisis of abuse and other failures in modern evangelical churches. Drawing on the work of twentieth-century political theorist Hannah Arendt, Cosper explores what we can learn from her theory of the 'banality of evil'—the thoughtlessness that allows ordinary people to become complicit in all manner of corruption. He uncovers the underlying causes of the breakdowns of the church and offers practices that foster healing and renewal. This book will engage Christian leaders and all followers who want to better understand how church crises keep happening—and how we can resist them and move forward."

The Art of Biodiversity: Artists & Naturalists, 1700-1900

"Between 1700 and 1900, an art movement unveiled nature's great secret: the global diversity of life-forms. Centuries before the word 'biodiversity' existed, naturalists began to glimpse the reality that lay behind Charles Darwin's lyrical evocation of nature's 'endless forms most beautiful.' The naturalists recruited artists to create a family album of Earth, with every picture a precise drawing of a species of plant or animal. The Art of Biodiversity recounts key chapters in the history of scientific nature art. It's a story about art that's not in the art history books, and a story about science that's missing from histories of science. This art appeared in vividly illustrated books that offered readers a vastly expanded vision of nature. The Art of Biodiversity introduces the listener to the extraordinary men and women who created these books. After sinking out of sight in the twentieth century, biodiversity art resurfaced in the twenty-first in myriad forms that reach millions of people on the Internet. The Art of Biodiversity plots a course through this wealth of material to chronicle the only art movement that successfully aligned the goals of art and science, for the transcendent purpose of documenting and understanding the natural world."

The Way Back to One Another: How to Live as People Created for Community

"Jesus said his followers would be known for their love, not their loneliness. Yet over half of Americans―and American churchgoers―say that they lack companionship or that no one knows them well. We live increasingly disconnected lives, and our mental and spiritual health suffer as a result. In The Way Back to One Another, Jeff Galley and Phil Smith provide a remedy based on studying Scripture, learning from the global church, and observing best practices in thousands of small groups. The New Testament's exhortations to love one another are not merely individual commands but instructions for experiencing deep relationships and community. Loving one another today will require a countercultural return to practices that are increasingly devalued and disregarded: depending on, committing to, talking with, knowing, and welcoming one another. Galley and Smith cast a vision for how we were created to live, outline practical shifts to combat loneliness, and offer life design suggestions―small yet meaningful changes we can make to escape aloneness, build relationships, and create community to experience the depth of connection God intends for us. With The Way Back to One Another, discover how you and your church can break away from soul-killing isolation and become catalysts of life-giving relationships and community."
