Why do people behave in the way they do and how can we get them to change Drawing on a large body of empirical research Lahlou shows that people s behaviour is predictable and shaped by installations combining three sets of factors what is technically possible affordances of the environment what people are able to do embodied competences and what monitors and controls behaviour social regulation These channel our behaviour and incline us to act one way or another in specific circumstances in the way for example that when you travel by plane the steps you take from the moment you check in to the moment you take your seat are fixed and predictable Lahlou shows how we can intervene at each of the three levels of installations to change human behaviour and how we can combine them for greater effectiveness and direction with a robust step by step method Because the method is so powerful Lahlou also provides ethical guidelines and caveats about using these interventions to improve society not just one s own business and interests This concise and authoritative book packed with real world examples will be of interest to anyone concerned about how to tackle the difficult problems of today s world At long last a book that offers realistic concre

Esta obra tiene una doble naturaleza; por una parte, se configura en once relatos que dan cuenta de los recuerdos de un joven cuidador de personas diagnosticadas con trastornos mentales graves; por otra, basandose en esas experiencias descritas, se introducen, a modo de ensayo, ideas y reiflexiones relacionadas con los trastornos psicologicos, la salud mental y los cuidados que estas personas requieren. Los episodios y los conflictos que se narran son aparentemente delirantes; sin embargo, dejan traslucir los mismos temores y deseos, a veces reprimidos, que a todos nos asaltan. El libro se dirige a estudiantes y profesionales de ciencias de la salud, pero resulta igualmente atractivo para la poblacion en general.

Si en torno a los años sesenta uno de los asuntos internacionales que más publicaciones generó fue el de la ulteriormente denominada "revolución sexual", en los últimos tiempos es la cuestión del género la que esta engendrando un mayor numero de investigaciones. Con ellas se pretende encontrar soluciones a problemas que afectan a todos y cada uno de los humanos por el hecho de haber nacido con un morfismo sexual de mujer, de varon o de sujeto ambiguo. La presente obra trata de ofrecer un marco coherente de una nueva disciplina que va a recibir la denominacion de generologia. Esta abarca los analisis sobre las relaciones no estrictamente sexuales entre los sexos, las semejanzas y diferencias entre los mismos, las identidades de genero a lo largo de la vida, los roles o funciones, los estereotipos y las asimetrias de genero. En su consideracion se ha tenido en cuenta tanto la correcta fundamentacion cientifica como la claridad expositiva, dado que lo que se pretende es que cada individuo, sin importar su morfismo sexual, pueda desarrollarse con el menor numero de trabas y creencias infundadas posibles.

Fundamentos de psicología social es una invitación a participar en la tarea de conocer las principales tendencias y orientaciones de esta disciplina y a descifrar las claves que han ido posibilitando la construccion de unas determinadas maneras de aproximarse al estudio de los fenomenos psicosociales. La perspectiva historica y critica de esta obra posibilita tener una informacion amplia y sistematica sobre las diversas tematicas y debates teoricos y metodologicos que, desde sus inicios, han caracterizado a la psicologia social. Por esta razon, en Fundamentos de psicologia social, se presentan y analizan no solo las corrientes dominantes en esta disciplina, sino tambien aquellas otras que, elaboradas desde presupuestos culturales, epistemologicos e ideologicos diferentes, suponen un desafio y alternativa al modo tradicional de entender el estudio de los procesos psicosociales.

El lector tiene entre manos un texto que unifica experiencia y reflexión. Si esto es un fenómeno poco frecuente, dada la disociación que habitualmente existe entre las dos, el problema es aún más fuerte en el area de la intervencion psicosocial humanitaria internacional. El desarrollo de las ONG y de las misiones internacionales de ayuda humanitaria han acompañado a la evolucion de la inversion economica. Este desarrollo no implica necesariamente una mayor eficacia, ya que como afirma un texto de Medicos sin Fronteras: La accion humanitaria esta despertando en todo el mundo una pasion sin precedentes. Sin embargo, no tenemos la certeza de que las victimas se beneficien de ella. (Destexhe, 1995). Si la eficacia medica de las acciones humanitarias es un interrogante, el impacto psicosocial positivo de estas es aun mas discutible.La gran ventaja del trabajo que prologamos es su sensibilidad ante la dimension psicosocial de la cooperacion humanitaria internacional. Si bien no reemplaza al aprendizaje procedimental, de terreno y experiencial, este libro amplia los horizontes de las personas interesadas en la cooperacion humanitaria internacional.

Este valioso libro se ocupa del difícil tema de la transmisión entre generaciones. Trata acerca de una intersubjetividad que liga y desliga a los antecesores y a los sucesores en una serie transgeneracional. Se liga a conceptos como a posteriori , el retorno de lo que fuera retirado de la circulacion subjetiva, el efecto familiar y siniestro de lo que se suponia en el pasado, su misma concepcion...

Los programas de animación sociocultural se erigen sobre dos pilares principales: - Una concepción dinámica de la persona y una forma de vivir activa y transformadora. - La generación de grupos y procesos de grupo operativos para participar autonoma y responsablemente en la accion social. Se presentan en este libro tres instrumentos para el diseño, realizacion y evaluacion de los programas de animacion sociocultural: 1. Instrumento teorico ideologico. Analiza la naturaleza de los programas de animacion sociocultural desde la perspectiva conceptual y funcional. 2. Instrumento estrategico-procedimental. Desarrollla la tecnologia de la planificacion y programacion aplicada a la elaboracion, realizacion y evaluacion de programas de animacion sociocultural. 3. Instrumento tecnico. A partir de las principales "guias" elaboradas para el diseño de proyectos sociales, ofrece orientaciones, criterios y ejemplos para la seleccion, innovacion, creacion o adaptacion, en su caso, a cada situacion concreta.
