Fans : a journey into the psychology of belonging / by Bond, Michael Shaw,author.(CARDINAL)830740;

Includes bibliographical references and index."Fans takes the reader on a journey through a constellation of fandoms, and along the way demonstrates some fundamental truths about the human condition. Part behavioural study, part entertainment, at its heart the book is a story of collectives, of what happens to us when we interact with people who share our passions. The human brain is wired to reach out, and while our groupish tendencies can bring much strife (religious intolerance, racism, war, etc.), they are also the source of some of our greatest satisfactions. Fandoms offer much of the pleasure of tribalism with little of the harm: a feeling of belonging and of shared culture, a sense of meaning and purpose, improved mental well-being, reassurance that our most outlandish convictions will be taken seriously, and the freedom to try to emulate (and dress like) our hero. In Fans, Michael Bond explores the subject through the lens of social identity theory, a set of ideas used by social psychologists and anthropologists to understand how people behave in groups and why groups have such a profound effect on human culture"--

The developing mind : how relationships and the brain interact to shape who we are / by Siegel, Daniel J.,1957-author.(CARDINAL)351458;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 551-652) and index.This highly influential work--now in a revised and expanded third edition incorporating major advances in the field--gives clinicians, educators, and students a new understanding of what the mind is, how it grows, and how to promote healthy development and resilience. Daniel J. Siegel synthesizes cutting-edge research from multiple disciplines, revealing the ways in which neural processes are fundamentally shaped by interpersonal relationships throughout life. And even when early experiences are not optimal, building deeper connections to other people and to one's own internal experience remains a powerful resource for growth. Professors praise the book's utility in courses from developmental psychology and child development to neuroscience and counseling. New to This Edition *Incorporates findings from a huge body of recent research; over 1,000 citations added. *Revisits and refines the core hypotheses of interpersonal neurobiology. *Chapter on the experience of belonging and the development of identity. *New or expanded discussions of behavioral epigenetics, the default mode network of the brain, social neuroscience, cultural and gender issues, theory of mind, the Wheel of Awareness contemplative practice, the science of consciousness, and more"--

The pivot for parents and educators : ADHD/autism : how looking through a different lens at the neurodivergent mind can change our thoughts and feelings about a diagnosis / by Gallo, Kim,author.;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 125-136)."Raising children is no easy feat, but raising autistic children or children with ADHD brings even more challenges. Author Kim Gallo has experience in this regard as the parent of a neurodivergent young-adult daughter. With nearly two decades of experience as an American Speech and Hearing Certified Speech-Language Pathologist and former Board-Certified Associate Behavior Analyst, Kim understands the mixed emotions that receiving a diagnosis can bring...When a parent, teacher, and therapist come to these realizations, catering to those differences becomes a little easier. In this book, Kim passionately provides readers with an abundance of invaluable information about raising a neurodivergent child. She focuses on subjects like the eight senses--yes, eight--and how autistic children may experience them, as well as giving guidance on how to teach autistic children to identify social cues and handle being overwhelmed. The message that weaves its way through The Pivot is one of love, care, and non-judgmental appreciation of differences. In addition, Kim realizes there is a certain lack of understanding regarding neurodivergent minds and identifies the kinds of offensive language that should change to allow our kids to see themselves in a more positive light."--
