Concise and easy‐to‐understand, this text provides an introduction to what attachment means and how to recognise attachment disorder in children. Colby Pearce explains how complex problems in childhood may stem from the parent‐child relationship during a child's early formative years, and later from the child's engagement with the broader social world. The book explores the mind‐set of difficult and traumatised children and the motivations behind their complex tendencies and behaviours.

What are the historical foundations of autism and what precisely is meant by the 'autistic spectrum'? How can we explain behavioural patterns of people with autism, young or old, and what are the major theoretical bases for understanding these? What is the latest thinking regarding diagnosis, and what are the most effective strategies for assessment, education and care for people with this condition? Following on from the popular provocative first edition, the second edition answers these questions with the latest research on autistic spectrum disorders.

Gil RosenthalHbk | 664pp | 9780691150673 | 19‐May‐17A$109 | NZ$127 | Princeton University Press
The popular consensus on mate choice has long been that females select mates likely to pass good genes to offspring. In Mate Choice, Gil Rosenthal overturns much of this conventional wisdom. Providing the first synthesis of the topic in more than three decades, and drawing from a wide range of fields, including animal behaviour, evolutionary biology, social psychology, neuroscience, and economics, Rosenthal argues that "good genes" play a relatively minor role in shaping mate choice decisions and demonstrates how mate choice is influenced by genetic factors, environmental effects, and social interactions.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy:
Patricia Churchland and Terrence SejnowskiPbk | 568pp | 9780262533393 | 01‐Dec‐16A$89 | NZ$105 | MIT Press
Before The Computational Brain was published in 1992, conceptual frameworks for brain function were based on the behaviour of single neurons, applied globally. In The Computational Brain, Patricia Churchland and Terrence Sejnowski developed a different conceptual framework, based on large populations of neurons. They did this by showing that patterns of activities among the units in trained artificial neural network models had properties that resembled those recorded from populations of neurons recorded one at a time.

In this book, Mike Cohen teaches brain scientists how to programme in MATLAB, with a focus on applications most commonly used in neuroscience and psychology.

An entertaining, affordable alternative to lengthy and expensive texts on the subject, Motivation 101 is unique in helping readers understand how each theory of motivation ‐ behavioural, neurobiological, attribution, and other paradigms ‐ views and defines a particular concept within the model. For example, each modality views the concept of "reward" from a different perspective. Tables within each chapter compare and contrast the thinking of different schools in regard to each construct. The book is also unique in its multidisciplinary focus, whereby research is drawn not only from different domains of psychology but also from such disciplines as education and business. The book considers cultural differences in the study of motivation and collaborative environments, and addresses changing research methodologies.

Social Psychology: Revisiting the Classic Studies is a series of texts that introduces readers to the studies in psychology that changed the way we think about core topics in the discipline today. It provokes students to ask more interesting and challenging questions about the field by encouraging a deeper level of engagement both with the details of the studies themselves and with the nature of their contribution. The chapters in each text provide details of the original works and their theoretical and empirical impact, and then discuss the ways in which thinking and research has advanced in the years since the studies were conducted.

The Social Determinants of Mental Health aims to fill the gap that exists in the psychiatric, scholarly, and policy‐related literature on the social determinants of mental health. A multitude of clinical vignettes are included and all chapters include five to six key points that focus on the most important content, helping to both prepare the reader with a brief overview of the chapter's main points and reinforce the 'take‐away' messages afterward. The text gives students the tools to understand and act to reduce risk and improve mental health for individuals and communities.

Social cognition attempts to explain the most fundamental of questions. It looks at why other people are not simply ‘objects’ to be perceived and how the social world provides dramatic and complex perspectives on the Self and Others. The subtitle of this book ‘From Brains to Culture’ reflects the journey that Social Cognition has been on since it first emerged as a dynamic and forward‐looking field of research within social psychology.

Self‐determination theory (SDT) provides a framework for understanding the factors that promote motivation and healthy psychological and behavioural functioning. In this authoritative work, the codevelopers of the theory comprehensively examine SDT's conceptual underpinnings (including its six mini‐theories), empirical evidence base, and practical applications across the lifespan. The volume synthesises a vast body of research on how supporting ‐ or thwarting ‐ people's basic needs for competence, relatedness, and autonomy affects their development and well‐being.
