Schools & Teaching

This manual aims to help athletes enhance their physical performance through mental training. It was developed in response to a request from the coaching staff associated with the American Olympic and National Team athletes. It has been field tested by elite athletes, and its effectiveness was also examined in laboratory studies with undergraduate students. The manual should be appropriate for either competitive or recreational athletes who wish to enhance those psychological skills important for performance. It can be used in conjunction with the consultation of a coach, instructor or sports psychologist, or be implemented into a self-directed program. The mental skills taught here include relaxation, stress management, positive thought control, self-regulation, mental rehearsal, concentration, and energy control. Each step is presented as a series of training exercises, a self-assessment unit, and a training log unit. The manual is constructed so that the reader can easily individualize his or her training schedule.

Seven Steps to Peak Performance

Suinn, Richard M.

This volume focuses on sensory aspects of both the motor and nonmotor functions of the basal ganglia. The individual contributions range from neuroanatomical studies in experimental animals to cognitive functioning in humans. Section 1 deals with the transformation that afferent information undergoes at the striatal level, and with the way in which the integration of sensory and motor signals is achieved within this structure. In Section 2 the authors lend some heuristic strength to the term "sensorimotor integration," and also point out the problems with such a catch-all term. The result is a more meaningful theoretical framework for describing the functions of the basal ganglia. Section 3 deals primarily with the implications of this neural system in cognitive processes.

Biological Sciences

Recent ideas on the processing of information in the mammalian brain, including both the neuroanatomical bases and specifically human factors of information processing. Possible relations are examined between the activity (or malfunction) of distinct brain regions and memory organization, and the likely limits to these relations are discussed from a wide range of methodological and theoretical viewpoints.

Schizophrenia Simplified: A Field Guide to Schizophrenia for Frontline Workers, Families, and Professionals

Thornton, John F.

<p>Electroconvulsive therapy treatment as a therapeutic approach remains highly controversial. While it is effective for treating some kinds of mental illness, there is widespread misinformation and confusion regarding its long-term side effects. This volume traces the development of ECT from its first application through to its current state, and explores the issues surrounding it from a number of perspectives. Its major aim is to separate the myths from the realities, explaining what ECT can do for those suffering from depression and other disturbances, and which dangers are more perceived than real. It is aimed at mental health professionals, researchers, patients and their families, as well as members of the public interested in this still-controversial technique. The book finishes with an extended bibliography that directs the interested reader to many sources beyond those cited in the text.</p>
