Perception
No full textCognitive processes enable us to experience the world around us: to recognise a friendly face in a crowd, to communicate our passions, to recall memories from the past. When these processes stop working, it can turn friends into strangers, render speech impossible, and make history a confusion of truth and lies. Cognitive Psychology, Second Edition unravels these complex ideas, introducing the concepts behind them and looking at how techniques, such as neuroimaging, can provide answers to questions that may at first seem unanswerable.
The chapters - covering a broad range of topics, including attention, perception, and neuropsychiatry - are written to inspire students, and come complete with helpful resources, including in-chapter summaries to consolidate learning, 'Activity' boxes to help students engage in the content, and 'Research study' boxes to encourage an awareness of scientific method
Prevention
No full textThis chapter focuses on the prevention of mental health issues and offending behaviours, and discusses interventions designed to support people deemed to be at risk of developing either. Following an overview of the different levels that prevention measures can take, based on the stage that they are employed and who the target population is, we go on to explore the need to conceptualise mental health not just in terms of the avoidance of negative outcomes, but through the need to promote positive mental health. The discussion of preventing mental health issues covers preventative psychiatry and the use of the attachment behavioural system to promote strategies for building resilience in children. Offending behaviour is discussed in relation to the criminalisation of adolescents through the use of policies that target ‘status-offences’, and models of offending across the lifespan. The chapter then takes a critical look at approaches to prevention that are based on identifying risk factors, and concludes by examining prevention programmes (such as infant-parent psychotherapy) designed to promote positive mental health and prevent offending behaviour

Working therapeutically in forensic settings
No full textTo explore the tensions between therapeutic and forensic settings, the chapter starts with a discussion of the different agendas and values in both fields that are difficult to integrate when working at the intersection of both disciplines. In a therapeutic setting, the aims are to help the patient/client and to promote well-being. In forensic settings, the main objective is to punish offenders, prevent re-offending and protect society, rather than to specifically help individuals with mental health issues. The chapter then explores different professional roles in forensic and mental health settings and the dual position often experienced by professionals working therapeutically in forensic settings. This is followed by a discussion of consent, risk, disclosure and power - common themes and challenges in therapeutic and forensic work that run through the book and are picked up in the following chapters
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
