Burdened by poverty, illiteracy, and vulnerability as Mexican immigrants to California’s Coachella Valley, three generations of González men turn to vices or withdraw into depression. As brothers ...Rigoberto and Alex grow to manhood, they are haunted by the traumas of their mother’s early death, their lonely youth, their father’s desertion, and their grandfather’s invective. Rigoberto’s success in escaping—first to college and then by becoming a writer—is blighted by his struggles with alcohol and abusive relationships, while Alex contends with difficult family relations, his own rocky marriage, and fatherhood. Descending into a dark emotional space that compromises their mental and physical health, the brothers eventually find hope in aiding each other. This is an honest and revealing window into the complexities of Latino masculinity, the private lives of men, and the ways they build strength under the weight of grief, loss, and despair.
Hauser has lived through the major social and economic changes that followed World War 2, and he offers the reader vivid insights into medical careers in the USA before the advent of today's ...educationally validated programmes, as well as into academic zeitgeists and dominant personalities. In the description of his family, friends, and early life, the reader gleans information about Hauser that would be hard to guess from his scientific persona. Throughout the book, the inspiration and support of his family (particularly his wife, Elizabeth, who herself had a very successful medical career, which would no doubt make for an interesting memoir) and his friends, colleagues, and patients is made clear—as is Hauser's gratitude to them.

A final note. At one point, as an angry young man, I said to Marianne Simmel (a professor in the psychology department) that Maslow had produced only one good idea in his life. "David, if you have ...one good idea, you'll be very happy," she said.I am still waiting for that one good idea.

Millî Mücadele'de kurduğu PR Gizli Telgraf Merkezi ile İstanbul'daki millî ...kuruluşlarla Ankara'nın şifre haberleşmesini sağladığı için telgrafçılık tarihimizde çok önemli bir yere sahip olan Mehmet İhsan (Pere) Bey, Yunanistan tarafından Bozcaada işgal edildiğinde adada İngiliz Kablo Şirketinin telgraf memuru olarak görev yapıyordu. Milliyetçi tavırları nedeniyle Bozcaada'nın işgalinden bir gün sonra, İngiliz Kablo Şirketinin memuru olmasına bakılmaksızın tutuklandı. Sekiz günlük zorlu deniz yolculuğundan sonra, Atina yakınındaki Ruf Askerî Kampı'nda esir olarak tutuldu. Osmanlı Devleti'nin kaybettiği topraklardan, Türk esirlerin bazıları da İhsan Bey'in bulunduğu kampa getiriliyor; Yunanlar, bu durum karşısında sevinç gösterileri yapıyordu. İngiliz Kablo Şirketinin memuru olduğu için esir kampından bırakılan ancak Atina'da zorunlu ikameti başlayan İhsan Bey'in esaret anıları, ilk defa bir bilimsel çalışmada ele alınmaktadır.
Within sport psychology, researchers have explored elite athlete mothers' experiences. More work is needed to understand the nuanced psychosocial aspects of their athletic journeys. Studying ...autobiographical narratives is useful toward understanding the psychosocial nuances of motherhood and athletics in sociocultural context. Within the present study we sought to extend this understanding through studying one elite athlete's-British runner Jo Pavey-journey as an athlete mother within her autobiography This Mum Runs (26 chapters totaling 253 pages). Thematic narrative analysis of key chapters focusing on pregnancy and motherhood in relation to training and competition allowed for the identification of a central theme-discovery narrative-reconfiguring the performance narrative-along with two subthemes: go with the flow and best of both worlds. The subthemes are used to illustrate the navigation of tensions in relation to an athlete mother identity grounded in family relationships to facilitate training and competition goals, within a discovery narrative. Applied sport psychology recommendations are made using narrative theory in relation to key findings. Recommendations focused on athlete stories and narrative resources as concrete entry points to encourage compatible athlete mother identities and sport career engagement. This study adds to sport psychology work that has used autobiography as theoretical, analytical, and applied resources to expand understanding of marginalized and/or hard to access topics in elite sport. This is the first autobiographic study to focus on elite athlete mother identities, furthering understanding of nuanced identity negotiation and experiences over time.
Lay Summary: Understanding of elite athlete mother's negotiation of identity and athletic career is expanded through studying published/public autobiographical narratives. A discovery narrative grounded in personal growth and family relationships facilitates strategies that facilitate training and competition goals.
