Professor Stephen F. Myler had travelled around the world from the time of his boyhood, first with his family on a ten-pound ticket to Australia, then as an adult researching animal behaviour in South America. In between, he has visited many countries, working, researching or for pleasure, but always with a keen eye for a story. In the Travelling Psychologist, Dr. Myler looks back at his life in the form of short anecdotal stories of incidences that happened to him while on his travels. From being slapped by black police in Africa to being caught up in a volcano in Ecuador to standing in the remains of Auschwitz in Poland, he has seen the world and, through this book, we can share the adventure and know what it is like to be a witness to a changing world, and one to be experienced first hand. Dr. Myler lives in the exciting city of Shanghai as a clinical and counselling psychologist treating patients and advising Chinese companies on psychological matters and management. His two grown-up daughters, Kerry and Josie, live and work in England. His future travel plans are always in his mind, and who knows where he will go next?

Travel And Movement In Clinical Psychology written by Miraj Desai and has been published by Springer this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2018-03-15 with Psychology categories.

This book concerns clinical psychology, but it is most concerned with the world outside the clinic. That world—where culture, history, and economy are found—radically impacts the public’s mental health. However these worldly considerations often do not feature centrally in the science and practice of clinical psychology, a subfield of psychology seemingly dedicated to mental health. Desai offers a corrective by travelling out of the clinic and into the world, exploring ideas, movements, and thinkers that help broaden our approach to well-being, by situating it within its cultural, historical, and sociopolitical contexts. The book aims to be an intercultural journey itself—encountering Buddhism, phenomenology, Edmund Husserl, Mahatma Gandhi, and Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. along the way. Featuring a Foreword by Jeffrey Sachs, the book positions pressing matters such as social justice, racial justice, and environmental justice as integral components of good mental health work. The book will be of interest to readers interested in cultural and community approaches to psychological science and practice.

Why do we travel? Are holidays good for our health? What are the social and psychological factors that drive us to move? The Psychology of Travel provides an eclectic introduction to the range of travel experiences from commuting, to going on holiday, to studying abroad. Travel is a near-universal experience and manifests itself in various forms, from everyday experiences to exotic adventure, although it varies across time and cultures. The book unpacks the concept of travel, and engages with topics including migration, wellbeing, acculturation, wayfinding, slow travel, place attachment and nostalgia, and brings them into sharp focus in relation to globalisation and climate change. By asking what drives us to journey and offering key insights into the psychological factors behind different kinds of travel, The Psychology of Travel introduces the reader to new ways of thinking about global mobility and movement.

Michael Brein’s Travel Tales Monthly is a monthly bookazine release of simply incredible travel tales, told 10 at a time. Michael Brein, aka The Travel Psychologist has made it his life’s passion to interview, now more than 1,750 world adventurers and travelers he has met throughout his world travels to more than 125 countries over the last four decades. “You wouldn’t believe the incredible stories people have told me about their travels,” says Michael when he talks about the nearly 10,000 travel tales he has amassed over the years in this way. Stories run the gamut of the good, the wonderful, and the magical, as well as, indeed, the bad, the horrible, and the truly horrific! These are--simply stated--great stories! Stories are told mainly in the present tense by interviewees, but, sadly, some are revealed about travelers who unfortunately did not live to tell their tales. These have often been related by weary, bleary-eyed travelers who felt that these tales should also be told. Into the pages of Travel Tales Monthly and then into the volumes of The Travel Psychologist Travel Tales Series ebooks will go the formerly untold tales of close calls, dangers, and great escapes; the mystical, spiritual, and the paranormal; meeting people, making friends, and incredible hospitality; harassment by beggars, hustlers, and con artists of all kinds; formidable characters met and phenomenal experiences had; and much, much more—all in the form of about 200 ebooks covering all sorts of subjects, countries and themes. The intent of Travel Tales Monthly is to present collections of tales each month, introducing you to the stories as they make their way into The Travel Psychologist Travel Tales Series in the form of completed standalone ebooks in the series. The telling of travel stories by Michael Brein via his Travel Tales Monthly as well as his travel tales ebook series is travel storytelling par excellence, but with one significant difference: Michael Brein is the world’s first and perhaps only travel psychologist. Thus, he tells the travel stories with a particular, unique psychological bent—there’s a lot of travel psychology behind everyone’s sharing of their experiences. With deft and persistence, Michael hones in on and ferrets out the usually heretofore unexplored and untold truly psychological netherworld that lurks just below the surface of most people’s travel experiences, bringing them into full view. For instance, what led up to a good or wonderful travel experience? How can we experience more of same? What was behind the horrific life-threatening or pickpocketing experience that got you caught up in in that one horrendous moment? Let’s unravel bad experiences piece by piece to see how this might have been avoided in the first place. Let’s unfold wonderful travel experiences to see how these may be repeated. What are some of the philosophical and life-changing insights gained from mystical experiences in one’s travels? What’s it like to experience your roots? How does it feel to be the first white person that others have ever seen? How does it feel like to be touched by a stranger? What is real fear like? On and on, Michael Brein delves into travel experiences from the standpoint of what is interesting, what is to be learned, and what is to be gained? How can this be made to happen again? Or NOT at all? Michael Brein is sure that you will be mesmerized and captivated by the stories you read in his Travel Tales Monthly and in his Travel Psychologist Travel Tales Series. In this Issue (No. 3 Sep 2014): Michael Brein’s Travel Tales Monthly Bookazine Issue No. 3 for Sep 2014 contains among the best travel stories from Michael’s huge collection of about 10,000 travel tales that he has gathered in interviews with nearly 1,750 world travelers and adventurers during his four decades of travel to more than 125 countries throughout the world. The 10 travel tales that are featured for September, as well as each following month, include a fascinating mix of travel stories as well as a few brief vignettes. The September issue features such tales as The Chicken, The ‘Cow,’ and The King of the Road, whereby travelers get themselves into trouble by driving and running into people or animals with their cars. It is difficult enough when such a thing happens at home. But what if it occurs in a strange foreign land? What do you do? And, if that is not enough for you, how about Heine, our featured story for this month about a former child musical prodigy who accidentally stumbles into a strange mystical experience involving ancient mystical and mythological legends. Everything points to the possibility that an ancient sea legend may just turn out to be true! You are going to scratch your head this month. And you will also see some sad and serious aspects of travel as well. You will certainly experience vicariously those vagaries of travel-life that can await you and can suddenly appear just around the corner at about any turn along the way.

THIS SERIES: True Travel Tales Over the last few decades, I've interviewed nearly 2,000 world travelers and adventurers. I am weaving the best of their nearly 10,000 fantastic travel tales into a psychology of travel as revealed by these very telling stories. These are travelers I've encountered on planes, trains, buses, ships, tours, safaris, and in campgrounds, bars, cafes, restaurants, and pubs. These courageous travelers have freely shared their most personal travel experiences, some good and wonderful and others even horrific and life-threatening, which I, in turn, get to share with you now through my True Travel Tales series. THIS BOOK: Travel Tales: Michael's Own Best 150 The True Travel Tales series is the expanded full collection of the best of all my own personal travel stories in my rich, varied and adventurous travel life that has taken me to more than 125 countries. This book of travel tales includes a selection of my own personal best, worst, funniest, and in some cases, even my most embarrassing travel experiences that have now become my most memorable and interesting travel stories today. From my unique perspective of being the world's first and probably only 'travel psychologist, ' I think you'll find the collection of my own personal best travel experiences riveting, informative, funny, and entertaining. Please enjoy! While some people say that some of my stories are riotous, others say that I should be kept locked up at home and not allowed to travel anywhere! These events, as unbelievable as some of them may seem to be, really did happen to me! Read on! DISCLAIMER Please be forewarned that some stories in the True Travel Tales series may be graphic, unpleasant, and disturbing. Reader discretion may be advised. This series is generally aimed toward a more mature adult audience, yet, no doubt, some material ought to be communicated clearly and responsibly to younger and relatively inexperienced and naive travelers, who could benefit by knowing how to travel more safely and securely. The author does not necessarily agree with all the opinions expressed by contributors. Finally, no story in the series is meant to depict any country, people, culture. religion or gender in a negative light. Good and bad things can and do happen anywhere and to anyone. Finally, some stories may appear in more than one book in the True Travel Tales series, depending on the subject matter and countries covered.

In this Issue (No. 5 Nov 2014): The November issue features such tales as The Black Book, Confessions of a Customs Officer, and Confessions of a Stewardess, whereby travelers get themselves into trouble by behaving and acting in ways that make them guilty of doing dubious things while traveling overseas. It is difficult enough to stick to the straight and narrow back home. But what are the consequences of acting and behaving illegally or immorally in a foreign land? And in one of our featured stories for this month, The Black Book, our traveler toys dangerously with several U.S. Federal authorities and becomes her own worst enemy! And even worse, and unbelievably, a Pan Am stewardess gets in over her head by daring to become the mistress of the president of an Asian country! How sensible or dangerous is that? Acting in ways contrary to good common sense, we have in this month’s issue a number of travelers who dare to taunt fate in the face of possible dangerous and disastrous consequences. And, finally, you will also see some aspects of travel that you, yourself, may not ever have even considered before. And, once again, you will certainly experience vicariously those odd vagaries of travel-life that can await you and can suddenly appear just around the corner at just about any turn along the way. Winding up this month's issue is George Wingfield, our guest contributor for this month, who describes the hilarious antics of some very odd touring clients he has worked with in the U.K.

Travels With The Self written by Philip Cushman and has been published by Routledge this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2018-10-09 with Psychology categories.

Travels with the Self uses a hermeneutic perspective to critique psychology and demonstrate why the concept of the self and the modality of cultural history are so vitally important to the profession of psychology. Each chapter focuses on a theory, concept, sociopolitical or professional issue, philosophical problem, or professional activity that has rarely been critiqued from a historical, sociopolitical vantage point. Philip Cushman explores psychology’s involvement in consumerism, racism, shallow understandings of being human, military torture, political resistance, and digital living. In each case, theories and practices are treated as historical artifacts, rather than expressions of a putatively progressive, modern-era science that is uncovering the one, universal truth about human being. In this way, psychological theories and practices, especially pertaining to the concept of the self, are shown to be reflections of the larger moral understandings and political arrangements of their time and place, with implications for how we understand the self in theory and clinical practice. Drawing on the philosophies of critical theory and hermeneutics, Cushman insists on understanding the self, one of the most studied and cherished of psychological concepts, and its ills, practitioners, and healing technologies, as historical/cultural artifacts — surprising, almost sacrilegious, concepts. To this end, each chapter begins with a historical introduction that locates it in the historical time and moral/political space of the nation’s, the profession’s, and the author’s personal context. Travels with the Self brings together highly unusual and controversial writings on contemporary psychology that will appeal to psychoanalysts and psychotherapists, psychologists of all stripes, as well as scholars of philosophy, history, and cultural studies.

THIS SERIES This series collects the true tales of travelers in all kinds of situations maybe of which may be fearful, dangerous, and even life-threatening and what they did to travel safely and securely. No one wants to encounter very scary and dangerous situations in the first place, but if they do, they want to travel as safely and securely as possible to avoid or escape the dangers they may face. I've interviewed nearly 2,000 world travelers and weaved the best of their tales into a psychology of travel as revealed by these very telling stories, These are travelers I've met on airplanes, trains, buses, ships, tours, safaris, and in hotels, campgrounds, cafes, and pubs. These are courageous travelers who have shared their most joyous adventures as well as on occasion their fearful close calls, whether with wild animals, scary, menacing, and dangerous people, raging nature, or any number of other potential dangers. While the focus of this book is traveling as safely and securely as possible and avoiding danger in the first place, the series also focuses on how to best avoid dangers and how to deal with them. While most of us experience good and wonderful travel, others have had to deal with horrific and life-threatening situations, which I, in turn, share with you now through my True Travel Tales series, specifically this book Travel Tales: Close Calls and Great Escapes. THIS BOOK This Book deals with primarily with the safety and security of the solo woman traveler. It is about how women and girls can travel more safely throughout the world. Unfortunately, travel today finds us in a world of growing threats and dangers. For people who travel, having to deal with dangers and threats is daunting in the least. For most of us, travel is exciting and relatively safe, but for many women, traveling in some countries, particularly in North Africa and the Middle East, parts of Asia, Africa, and the Central and South Americas can often be risky and downright dangerous. I have tales of travelers who have been caught up in very dangerous situations. The majority travel relatively safely, however, some of us may in our lives find ourselves confronting and dealing with a variety of dangers. Fortunately, most travelers can remain relatively safe; some escape with only minor difficulties, and, sad to say, some travelers have been unable to escape some of the dangers they have confronted. Traveling to potentially dangerous and forbidding places is not for the faint of heart. Many relatively inexperienced travelers are sadly unaware and must be exceedingly careful in their travels. Every traveler abroad needs to know about and prepare him- or herself to deal with a variety of dangers. Women have shared hundreds of their travel stories with me about how they have had to fend off the unwanted approaches of men, ranging from verbal harassment, unwanted overtures, and, yes, sometimes pickpocketing, robbery, assaults, and even rape at times! People have said to me, "Yes, I should have known better; I should have seen the signs. I should have taken better precautions." Finally, readers should know that some stories are quite graphic and they may want to exercise some discretion. As unpleasant as some stories may be they must nevertheless be told.
