Top Reddit reviews mentioning Behaviorism Psychology books:
Due to personal interest, I've read some of Peterson's work. I've not sure he represents the faction of psychologists concerned with the discipline's notorious and existential replicability crisis.
He seems rather content to discuss the Christian Logos and attempt to understand how religion shapes culture. A peculiar topic for a psychologist and is no doubt rife with methodological complexity requiring exceptional detail to procedure. Well, one hopes.
A description courtesy of Amazon:
> Why have people from different cultures and eras formulated myths and stories with similar structures? What does this similarity tell us about the mind, morality, and structure of the world itself? Jordan Peterson offers a provocative new hypothesis that explores the connection between what modern neuropsychology tells us about the brain and what rituals, myths, and religious stories have long narrated. A cutting-edge work that brings together neuropsychology, cognitive science, and Freudian and Jungian approaches to mythology and narrative, Maps of Meaning presents a rich theory that makes the wisdom and meaning of myth accessible to the critical modern mind.
Jung wrote a fantastic book on just this thing he goes through a number of ufo dreams etc
Probably this one. The Routledge/Princeton University Collected Works volumes are legit.
I am only quitting due to medical tbh. I need to work because I'm broke but physically csnt. Neuro referred me to another specialist and now I will edit m I hope they understood I quit this time.
I have the Amazon link to what I showed her. I csnt see psych until I stabilize medical so better than nothing!
Amazon.com: The Complex PTSD Workbook: A Mind-Body Approach to Regaining Emotional Control and Becoming Whole (9781623158248): Arielle Schwartz PhD, Jim Knipe PhD: Books https://www.amazon.com/Complex-PTSD-Workbook-Mind-Body-Regaining/dp/1623158249/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1543911120&sr=8-1-spons&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=the+complex+ptsd+workbook&psc=1
I was faded but I know I need help. So. Eh. This is why I like this place! I relate to the puke and shit and shit!!!@ and also I'm lonely and this is all true and I see no shame because we all have issues I appreictar you all.
With the caveat that it is absolutely best to work through these issues with a professional, I realize that's not always a feasible or comfortable option. This workbook is one of the tools I'm using with my therapist that might be helpful.
I think Aaron James' unpacking of what it is to be an asshole captures the psychology of the sorts of people I've personally interacted with who don't want to comply with guidelines issued by the relevant experts. They:
(1) allow themselves special advantages and they do so systematically
(2) do this out of an entrenched sense of entitlement; and
(3) are immunized by their sense of entitlement against the complaints of other people
I got my physical (soft-cover, though) copy of MoM just 2 weeks ago from Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0415922224/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1).
I agree though, it is pricey.
TY. Forensic populations. Tough work. I admire you.
Bessel's the Bomb. Pete Walker's book is useful, as well. Lately I've been recommending Arielle Schwartz's workbook. It's a very good "launchpad."
Your subconscious mind is the part of you that's beneath what you're aware of. It's the bit that sees the snake at your peripheral vision before you're aware of it and makes you jump. It's the bit that makes you dream at night. It's the bit from where random thoughts pop into your awareness and you don't know why. Why am I thinking of that memory of grandmother from 20 years ago baking pies? I'm in the middle of traffic, why is it relevant? I'll bet you there is, but it's layered like an onion underneath so much meaning. Your subconscious might be forcing you to think about you being transgender in order to solve a different problem that's eating away at you. Something else related to transformation. Could be a friend going through a tough time. Could be yourself going through adolescence. If you're an adult, it could still want to patch up some remains that were left without closure from back when your body was transforming and you had issues with it. It's a sort of a secondary inner problem solver. It wants to make sense of thing your narrow field of vision and awareness doesn't have the computing power to put together.
These are all the ramblings of an idiot off the internet so take it all with a grain of salt. I might be full of shit and I don't even know it. If you're interested in learning about this stuff, Jung's a nice read

^^^I'm ^^^a ^^^bot ^^^and ^^^this ^^^action ^^^was ^^^performed ^^^automatically.
A scientific sociological and psychological look at assholes, who they are, why they are that way, and how to deal with them.
I got my formal diagnoses after menopause made it all worse, BUT- I still think formal diagnosis is just a tool to help find the best treatment options/types of therapy. So I don’t take it tooooo seriously. That’s why even though I’m NOT bpd, i love the workbook! I kinda forgot it’s a complex bpd book so I think it’s even better. There’s also a “normal” bpd one on Amazon. I have a CPTSD one too if anyone is interested. They’re both Amazon links below! (:
> I was really into it in high school when I wanted to understand how I fit in.
Right there with ya. Still have this sucker on my bookshelf all of these years later ;p.
And consider getting TMS therapy - https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2021/10/depression-treatment.html
This stuff didn’t cure me but it helped me significantly, if you live in a non rural area chances are you have a TMS center near you. You can also YouTube TMS to see how it works more if you want
Yeah, you should. It seems that you don't know how a community works, or rather how it functions.
And I can talk about the things I did because I do them with the members of my community, and this is Reddit, nobody knows me--my real identity anyway, so I can safely say those things without worrying too much about some indicated slip, courtesy if you, in my pursuit of a more altruistic lifestyle. Besides, I'm not the one who has elevated myself above the rest of us, trying to be edgy and cool.
You have invalidated the efforts of my community and OP, and plenty of other communities too. How good you must feel in your little indent, it's not a hill because you seem to have an inverted sense of society.
Suck my own dick? Stopping me? Since you are the ultimate authority on such things... A bit thick for a cantankerous old knob, don't you think?
By the way, I found you a book - Assholes, a Theory, if you're curious about how your biography will read one day.
I can’t stand it either. Grew up with it my whole life and then lived with someone for 7 years. I want to say so much but everyone below is correct. It’s a struggle. Therapy is the best thing and staying away from people who make you feel like you are “too sensitive “ for not being ok with their harmful behaviors. Also this CPTSD workbook has helped tremendously too: https://www.amazon.com/Complex-PTSD-Workbook-Mind-Body-Regaining/dp/1623158249/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?adgrpid=61548573492&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI27WdvumF-QIVLBXUAR0GVgQWEAAYASAAEgKT5vD_BwE&hvadid=274815918130&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=1015537&hvnetw...
Thinking of you and wishing you well ❤️
Yes, it helped change my perspective on medication a lot when she said that to me! And I am sorry that you are having such debilitating anxiety... It is absolutely horrifying and you're right-paralyzing. Another thing that helped me a lot is this CPTSD workbook, which gave me a lot of good strategies and I was able to work through it with my therapist. I highly recommend it: https://www.amazon.com/Complex-PTSD-Workbook-Mind-Body-Regaining/dp/1623158249/ref=pd_lpo_2?pd_rd_i=1623158249&psc=1
I wish you well!
I want to suggest a book to you for your PTSD that has helped me a lot. It’s called The Complex PTSD Workbook. I went through a really rough childhood as well, I hope you are able to get this book and it can help you.
His source sounds so silly and specific that I thought, “that’s so John Cleese/Phythonesque”.
Imagine my surprise when I discovered it’s real
I was so sad to see that Malczynski's website and store and Facebook are no longer operational.
I worried that the site status might indicate something sad, but here is a clue she may still be active. Check out the top review from "Elisabeth Rose": https://www.amazon.com/Frogs-into-Princes-Linguistic-Programming/dp/0911226192
Lovely, but not high enough quality to print, I would think: https://i.imgur.com/XHGV0PX.jpg
I wonder if you heard back from her.
I'm about to read this one. I'm new to this, too, and my partner wants me to understand.
Haven't read it yet, though.
Pretty good, I haven’t given it much more time yet but I did the second exercise and found it was goos as well.
I would say you will get better results from it if you are already in therapy with a trauma informed therapist where you can go over things together or reach out to then if you are having difficulty with what it brings up or if you have been. In therapy and are already aware of how to work through this on your own.
I got this to supplement therapy.

I will give more updates once I have gone through more of it.
Oh Wow. That is a HUGE trigger. I recommend that you find a therapist while you go through this. Call 3 different Therapists for a pre-session phone chat before you book the appointment. That way, you won’t waste your money and get turned off by the therapeutic process. There is also a great work book

The capacity to make choices evolved gradually. So humans can be described as horrible when they commit atrocities, but animals can make choices as well. There's a good book Freedom Evolves by the philosopher Daniel Dennett. He shows how the ability to make choices gradually evolved.
Humanity is both wonderful and terrible, and awesome in its variety. There are people who do incredibly bad things, and people who are wonderful and very good; idiots and geniuses ...
It reminds me of the speech in Hamlet,
>What a piece of work is a man! How noble in reason, how infinite in faculty! In form and moving how express and admirable! In action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god! The beauty of the world. The paragon of animals. And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust?
except that the awful things about people aren't explicitly mentioned.
I love animals, but humanity is awesome.
Hey! Wanted to maybe recommend this workbook for CPTSD. I've been trying to think of other books that have helped me that aren't like Pete Walker's so they'll be more useful for you and that one popped up.
Perhaps Tara Brach and her book Radical Acceptance?
Colin Tipping's Radical Forgiveness is another.... I read so many during the first stages of recovery I have a hard time remember them all, I'll have to go back and reread some of them!
I highly HIGHLY recommend getting this book https://www.amazon.com/dp/1623158249/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_b2zSWfEZpHY3Y and reading or listening (audible) to Man's Search For Meaning by Viktor Frankel. it's a non-fiction story, not necessarily a self-help book - it just has some invaluable insights from the author, who was a psychiatrist before WWII. I honestly don't understand why it's not required reading in every single high school in the world. MSFM helped me survive my own father, who is almost exactly like how you've described yours, but also has so much more to offer. I've managed to cut off contact with him for several years now, but the aftermath is still a daily struggle.
I'm open to paying for the book if that's what it takes for you to get it, but I recognize some of my own experience in you and it means a lot to me.
There are some workbooks that could help.
An example, I have never used it nor read it and hence not making any recommendations. Only providing this as an example. There are others, you'll need to find one that suits your need. https://www.amazon.com/Complex-PTSD-Workbook-Mind-Body-Regaining/dp/1623158249
I know the feeling. Growing up being “sent to therapy” was a threat. Took a panic attack and the feeling life was slipping through my fingers to take the plunge. Therapy lead me to the most positive outcome I’ve ever experienced.
If you’re the reading type, Carl Jung (founder of modern psychotherapy) wrote an autobiography and in it he describes what therapy is. He’s also an extremely interesting and well written person with a great story that sometimes seems like fiction. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0679723951/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_6M7Z046HD0JR61KGHFJE
Something I found in Wilson Mathis Hudson's research: Jung and Myths -
Jung's primary concern in Flying Saucers is not with the reality or unreality of UFOs but with their psychic aspect. Rather than speculate about their possible nature and extraterrestrial origin as alleged spacecraft, he asks what it may signify that these phenomena, whether real or imagined, are seen in such numbers just at a time when humankind is menaced as never before in history. The UFOs represent, in Jung's phrase, "a modern myth."
