autism and the empathy epidemic janet harbord

Threading an enquiry through debates in neurodiversity scholarship and disability studies as well as film theory, this open access book challenges the widespread idea that autism is an epidemic characterised predominantly by a deficit of empathy, arguing that the reverse is true: we are living through an empathy epidemic in which autism is the outcast. In 1908, the British psychologist, Edward Titchener, translated the German term Einfühlung into the English language as ⠘empathy⠙, around the same time that Eugen Bleuler coined the term ⠘autism⠙ for a group of symptoms subset to an emerging classification of schizophrenia. Empathy became a useful tool to describe relations between people in a clinical context, but in the process of its incorporation into psychology, it shed its rich sensory meaning from Einfühlung as ⠘feeling-into⠙ weather systems, architectural forms, and artworks. A remarkable reversal takes place in the first part of the twentieth century whereby empathy becomes an intra-human ethical act, and autism emerges as its inverse. Digging up and examining the buried relation between autism with an earlier form of ⠘empathy⠙, this book argues that autism, like cinema, models an ethical apprehension of the more-than-human world.The eBook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

Empathy is the way we react to each other, and it defines how we conduct ourselves in this world. In any human situation, the degree to which we give empathy illustrates the depth to which we appreciate other #39;s feelings, and the amount of empathy we receive often defines the extent to which we feel understood. Our ability to recognize social cues, act with sensitivity and generosity, concern ourselves with matters of fairness and morality and create relationships - whether at work or at home - which thrive, all depend on finding empathy in ourselves and in others. Too often in recent years has the narrative around empathy been dominated by cautionary tales of the #39;empath #39; with their bias towards negative emotional expressions. You #39;ll learn: - How being empathetic will bring out the best virtues in yourself and others - How empathy will help you connect and find deep lasting relationships - How to use empathy to make better decisions at home and at work - How to attract empathy, making your world a kinder place. - How to regulate your empathy, avoid focusing on negative emotions and evade compassion fatigue or burnout. - Why young people are more focused on mental health, wellbeing, fairness and justice ever before, and why acting with empathy is the vital skill of the future. This book is a clarion call for the virtues of empathy, with a very contemporary twist.

A timely account of empathy, politics, and leadership, showing how greater understanding and connection can foster trust, community, and innovation  Empathy has become a cliché of contemporary politics, often espoused but rarely understood. Yet the capacity to understand other worldviews is neither easy nor comfortable. Seeing through others⠙ eyes requires strength, courage, integrity, and an ability to reason across the harshest political divides⠔and, in a time of heightened marginalization, disconnection, and polarization, empathy in our leaders and across society is vitally important.  Claire Yorke offers the first account of empathy in politics and leadership, drawing on examples from across the world. Including model leaders like Nelson Mandela and Jacinda Ardern, as well as figures on the right such as Donald Trump who mobilize different forms of empathy, Yorke asks what distinguishes empathetic leaders from the rest, and examines why empathy is essential for a more human-centred politics. Demonstrating empathy⠙s radical potential and disputing its connotations of weakness, this book shows how we can build a political ecosystem that fosters belonging and engagement⠔and cultivate the necessary dialogue to find common ground.

The sixth edition of the full-colour, authoritative pregnancy guide that has sold over 1.5 million copies to date by recognizing that one size fits all doesn t apply to maternity care. Newest updates include information on COVID-19, the latest CDC guidelines for intervention and care, as well as updates to dietary guides, breastfeeding, surrogacy and much more.Parents love this book because it puts them in control; experts love it because it s based on the latest medical research and recommendations from leading health organizations. Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Newborn provides the information and guidance you need to make informed decisions about having a safe and satisfying pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period--decisions that reflect your preferences, priorities, and values.Unlike pregnancy guides that can overwhelm and alarm by telling you up front all the things that can possibly go wrong, this book first describes normal, healthy processes, their typical variations, and the usual care practices for monitoring them. Only then does it cover possible complications and the care practices and procedures for resolving them. Throughout, the presentation is crystal-clear, the tone is reassuring, and the voice is empowering. And the language is inclusive, reflecting today s various family configurations such as single-parent families, blended families formed by second marriages, families with gay and lesbian parents, and families formed by open adoption or surrogacy. From sensible nutrition advice to realistic birth plans, from birth doulas when desired to caesareans when needed, from reducing stress during pregnancy to caring for yourself as well as your baby after birth, this pregnancy guide speaks to today s parents-to-be like no other.

Poverty is something we all want to see less of. So why does it prove so difficult to tackle? Can empathy help fix it? An important and necessary book exploring the chronic empathy deficit around global poverty, offering surprising and compelling solutions to one of the greatest injustices of our time. - Roman Krznaric This urgent book gives us renewed hope ... through the refreshing lens of empathy and equality, a must read! - Natasha CarthewPoverty is bad for everyone. Being at the sharp end of disadvantage is shameful, reduces brainpower, and hampers positive action. It increases crime, burdens healthcare systems and raises taxpayers bills. With millions around the world struggling to make ends meet and increased socioeconomic uncertainty making poverty a more probable prospect for many more, tackling poverty has never been more urgent.Yet, while the ultra-rich bask in the glory of superstar status, people in poverty are cast as second-rate citizens. Deeply engrained prejudice and punitive policies lead to vicious cycles of deprivation. Positive psychology that emphasises personal strengths can be empowering for some, but also feeds toxic narratives of failure and defeat. The flipside of taking credit for individual success is that the inability to achieve it is attributed to personal shortcomings.The Empathy Fix exposes the realities of poverty and reveals why policies don t work. It is a radical rethink of current efforts to tackle poverty, what it means and how we break the cycle. Here, writer and researcher Keetie Roelen provides readers with the tools to relate to poverty, realise why current interventions often don t work, and to respond to the situation in a way that gives everyone a sense of dignity and agency.Through empathy, we can all contribute to a more equal society. If you want to understand the reality of poverty, start by reading this book. - Olivier De Schutter A stellar piece of work from a seasoned researcher that sheds fresh light on what has been a perennial problem. - Mary O Hara Keetie Roelen has written a unique, sensitively-crafted and much-needed book. - Sarah P Corbett

One of the biggest challenges facing designers across all fields is not simply in the design of the product or service itself, but rather how to arrive at a design solution that resonates with a target audience, that will have a higher than likely chance at market adoption, and that will avoid negatively impacting society or the environment. What are the skills that can be employed by a student or young professional creative early on that enable them to identify the issues at work and address them? By understanding design from human-centered perspectives - both from the customer #39;s and the producer #39;s point of view - innovative, resonant designs are possible.Design Empathy and Contextual Awareness demystifies the fuzzy front end of the design process, where research methods mix with business trends and marketing. The accessible, authoritative text presents design as neither merely a trade skill nor an exercise in personal creative vision, but rather the application of multiple mindsets and practices, built around a process of alternating points of view (or frames ). As well as covering theory and process, this visually engaging book also provides real-life business examples and applicable templates to help designers hone their empathy and contextual awareness in order to more directly and efficiently achieve successful design outcomes.Chapters cover: Laying a foundation: design as a whole-brain activity Design behaviors: design as a whole-life activity Empathy: cognitive and emotional empathy, and compassionate concern Contextual awareness: cultivating your designer #39;s sixth sense

Highly commended at the British Medical Association Book Awards 2019Are we living in an age of unprecedented anxiety, or has this always been a problem throughout history?We only need look around us to see anxieties: in the family home, the workplace, on social media, and especially in the news. It s true that everyone feels anxious at some time in their lives, but we re told we re all feeling more anxious than we ve ever been before - and for longer than we ve ever done before. It s even reported that anxiety is a modern epidemic significant enough to challenge the dominance of depression as the most common mental health problem.Much of this increase has been attributed to changes in lifestyles that have led to more stress and pressure being placed on people: from childhood, to adolescence, to adulthood. But that s a big claim. Going back over the generations, how anxious were people in 1968 or 1818? Are people just anxious all the time - regardless of what they do or when they lived? Is anxiety an inevitable consequence of simply being alive?Graham Davey addresses many important questions about the role of anxiety. What is it good for? What are the unique modern-day causes of our anxieties and stresses? What turns normal everyday anxiety into the disabling disorders that many of us experience - distressing and debilitating conditions such as phobias, social anxiety, panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, pathological worrying and post-traumatic stress disorder? To truly conquer anxiety, we need to understand why it has established its prominent place in our modern world.

A DAILY TELEGRAPH AND BBC HISTORY MAGAZINE BOOK OF THE YEAR 2019 A remarkable book: the dramatic story of a truly extraordinary man ... brilliant Helen Castor, author of She-Wolves A major new biography of one of the most extraordinary of all rulers, and the father of present-day EuropeCharles, King of the Franks, is one of the most remarkable figures ever to rule a European super-state. That is why he is so often called Charles the Great : by the French Charlemagne , and by the Germans Karl der Grosse . His strength of character was felt to be remarkable from early in his long reign. Warfare and accident, vermin and weather have destroyed much of the evidence for his rule in the twelve centuries since his death, but a remarkable amount still survives. Janet L. Nelson s wonderful new book brings together everything we know about Charlemagne and sifts through the evidence to come as close as we can to understanding the man and his motives. Nelson has an extraordinary knowledge of the sources and much of the book is a sort of detective story, prying into and interpreting fascinating material and often obdurate scraps, from prayerbooks to skeletons, gossip to artwork. Above all, Charles legacy lies in his deeds and their continuing resonance, as he shaped duchies and counties, rebuilt and founded towns and monasteries, and consciously set himself up not just as King of the Franks, but as the new Emperor governing the Roman Empire . His successors - in some ways to the present day - have struggled to interpret, misinterpret, copy or subvert Charlemagne s legacy. Nelson gets us as close as we can ever hope to come to the real figure, as understood in his own time.

They don t fit the stereotypical mould of Autism and are often forced by necessity to mask who they are, spending their entire lives trying to hide their Autistic traits. In particular, there is evidence that Autism remains significantly undiagnosed in women, people of colour, trans and gender non-conforming people, many of whom are only now starting to recognise those traits later in life.Blending cutting-edge research, personal insights and practical exercises for self-expression, Dr Devon Price examines the phenomenon of masking , making a passionate argument for radical authenticity and non-conformity. A powerful call for change, Unmasking Autism gifts its readers with the tools to uncover their true selves and build a new society - one where everyone can thrive on their own terms.

Jonathan Haidt is a modern-day prophet, disguised as a psychologist . . .He points the way forward to a brighter, stronger future for us all’ Susan Cain Compelling, readable, remarkably persuasive Telegraph Urgent and essential . . .it ought to become a foundational text for the growing movement GuardianAfter more than a decade of stability or improvement, the mental health of adolescents in many countries around the world deteriorated suddenly in the early 2010s. Why have rates of depression, anxiety, self-harm and suicide risen so sharply, more than doubling in many cases?In this book, Social Psychologist Jonathan Haidt argues that the decline of free-play in childhood and the rise of smartphone usage among adolescents are the twin sources of increased mental distress among teenagers. Haidt delves into the latest psychological and biological research to show how, between 2010 and 2015, childhood and adolescence got rewired.As teens traded in their flip phones for smartphones packed with social media apps, time online soared while time engaging face-to-face with friends and family plummeted, and so did mental health. This profound shift took place against a backdrop of diminishing childhood freedom, as parents over-supervised every aspect of their children’s lives offline, depriving them of the experiences they most need to become strong and self-governing adults. The Anxious Generation reveals the fundamental ways in which this shift from free-play to smartphones disrupts development – from sleep deprivation to addiction – with separate in-depth analyses of the impact on girls and boys.Grounded in ancient wisdom and packed full of cutting-edge science, this eye-opening book is a life raft and a powerful call-to-arms, offering practical advice for parents, schools, governments, and teens themselves.
