CBT for those at risk of a First Episode Psychosis offers a detailed new psychotherapy that has been shown to reduce the chance of transition to a first psychotic episode and to improve the chance for recovery. This encompasses: Psycho-education about prepsychotic symptoms A review of literature about psychological processes that are known to play a role in the development of psychosis A comprehensive manual – illustrated by numerous clinical vignettes - that can be used to treat help-seeking subjects with an increased risk of developing psychosis. Links to online resources and exercises to be used in therapy and education. A description of the multicentre randomized clinical trial investigating this new psychotherapy.

Mexican cinema has largely been overlooked by international film scholars because of a lack of English-language information and the fact that Spanish-language information was difficult to find and often out of date. This comprehensive filmography helps fill the need. Arranged by year of release and then by title, the filmography contains entries that include basic information (film and translated title, production company, genre, director, cast), a plot summary, and additional information about the film. Inclusion criteria: a film must be a Mexican production or co-production, feature length (one hour or more, silent films excepted), fictional (documentaries and compilation films are not included unless the topic relates to Mexican cinema; some docudramas and films with recreated or staged scenes are included), and theatrically released or intended for theatrical release.

The field of research on the paranormal has changed enormously in the last 20 years. Examining experiences of ESP, psychokinesis, precognition, ganzfeld, dissociative states, out-of-the-body experiences, alien abductions and near-death experiences, David Marks appraises the best available evidence to date on scientific claims of the paranormal. Each chapter also provides a description of the psychological processes that are likely to contribute to these experiences, and to the high prevalence of paranormal beliefs. Importantly, this book does not take a fixed sceptical or ‘disbelieving’ view of the phenomena but, as far as possible, offers a neutral gaze which will equip readers to make up their own minds, as well as providing them with the critical skills to defend their conclusions.

La configuración actual de los modelos de penalidad presentes en el Norte Global tiene en la noción de riesgo un elemento de carácter central. En consecuencia, la construcción de narrativas, modelos o instrumentos enfocados al tratamiento de la criminalidad se encuentra influida por esta perspectiva. Tal contexto no es ajeno a la realidad político-criminal española, ya que tanto el legislador penal y penitenciario como los distintos poderes y organismos públicos que operan en este campo incorporan el riesgo como criterio orientador de sus decisiones. A los efectos de analizar esta realidad punitiva, esta obra se estructura en torno a tres capítulos. En primer lugar, se realiza un estudio de la noción del riesgo y se exploran sus relaciones con el sistema penal y penitenciario. En segundo lugar, se introducen unas consideraciones generales sobre los instrumentos de valoración y gestión del riesgo en tanto que herramientas al servicio del modelo penalidad. Y en tercer lugar, se estudian cuatro instrumentos de valoración y gestión del riesgo presentes en el sistema penitenciario español. Esta última parte tiene una importancia capital, ya que permite examinar unas herramientas que para el conjunto de las ciencias penales en España todavía resultan relativamente desconocidas. En suma, con la finalidad de analizar la introducción de la noción de riesgo en el ámbito penal, esta obra incorpora un estudio específico sobre la configuración, desarrollo e importancia de los instrumentos de valoración y gestión del riesgo en el modelo penitenciario español.
