    Laughing Together: Interpersonal Humor

    Chapter

    This chapter discusses the social psychology of humor, starting with a walk through how the presence of other people can make things seem funnier. It shows how humor can have a positive or a negative tone and it can focus on ourselves or on those around us. Self-enhancing humor makes stress tolerable. It can keep folks from viewing minor annoyances as unbearable disasters. The chapter sketches how humor can function to maintain the status quo. People who report using self-enhancing humor show less anxiety, neuroticism, and depression; better psychological well-being and self-esteem, and more extraversion, optimism, and openness to experience. When it comes to hierarchies, getting a feel for who’s cracking jokes and laughing can communicate who’s top dog. The chapter finally focuses on gender differences, and then sees how humor contributes to developing friendships, finding a date, and maintaining an intimate relationship.

    Alexithymia, Affective Dysregulation, and the Imaginal: Resetting the Subcortical Affective Circuits

    Chapter

    This chapter focuses on the strategies that use neocortical resources of imagery to increase affective mentalization as well as, possibly reset them to allow increased adaptive, relational, and intersubjectivity capacity. Brain organization reflects self-organization; and human emotions constitute the fundamental basis the brain uses to organize its functioning where parent-child communication with regard to emotions directly affects the child's ability to organize his- or herself. Alexithymia and affective dysregulation play a significant role in that they constitute profound barriers for the effective treatment of traumatic stress syndromes and dissociative disorders by directly interfering with emotional processing as well as contributing to emotional destabilization. Traumatic stress and early childhood trauma has been associated with alexithymia, affective dysregulation, and deficits with regard to affective mentalization. Mentalization has been described as the ability to read the mental states of others through the brain’s mirror system.

  • Stabilizing the Relationship Among Self-StatesGo to chapter: Stabilizing the Relationship Among Self-States

    Stabilizing the Relationship Among Self-States

    Chapter

    This chapter addresses crises precipitated by problems in the relationships among the patient's internal states. It focuses on increasing awareness of different parts of the self and ultimately creating a more stable sense of self. The chapter describes interventions into instability or crises related to an internal locus of disturbance. An important early-stage approach to increasing patient stability involves the application of ego state therapy's conceptual framework and tools in an effort to reduce conflict among parts of self. A beneficial strategy in the treatment of shame involves approaching the damaged sense of self using object awareness, rather than ego awareness to evoke a tolerably remote, quasi-objective stance. When the locus of an ongoing or acute disturbance in a patient's life is centered in relationships among his or her states, systematically addressing that internal conflict can greatly increase stability.

    What Is Genius?

    Chapter

    The term genius is peculiar. It can be applied to a diversity of phenomena or confined to just one or two. The tremendous range in usage reflects the fact that genius is both a humanistic concept with a long history and a scientific concept with a much shorter history. The word genius goes way, way back to the time of the ancient Romans. Roman mythology included the idea of a guardian spirit or tutelary deity. This spiritual entity was assigned to a particular person or place. Expressed differently, geniuses exert influence over others. They have an impact on both contemporaries and posterity. The exemplars of intelligence have a feature in common: They are called as exceptional creators. The favored definition is that creativity satisfies few separate requirements. First, to be creative is to be original. In main, genius in the leadership domain of achievement appears to fall into several groups.

    A Social–Cognitive–Neuroscience Approach to PTSD: Clinical and Research Perspectives

    Chapter

    This chapter reviews the disturbances in self-referential processing and social cognition in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) related to early-life trauma. It talks about the neural underpinnings of self-referential processing and examines how they may relate the integrity of the default mode network (DMN). The chapter describes the deficits in social cognition, with a particular focus on theory of mind in PTSD and the neural circuitry underlying direct versus avert eye contact. It then addresses the implications for assessment and treatment. Johnson demonstrated that self-referential processing is associated with the activation of cortical midline structures and therefore overlaps with key areas of the DMN in healthy individuals. Healthy individuals exhibited faster responses to the self-relevance of personal characteristics than to the accuracy of general facts. Less activation of the medial prefrontal cortex (PFC) was observed for the contrast of self-relevance of personal characteristics relative to general facts as compared to controls.

    Peritraumatic Dissociation and Tonic Immobility: Clinical Findings

    Chapter

    This chapter describes two of the frequently occurring and important peritraumatic responses, namely, peritraumatic dissociation (PD) and tonic immobility (TI). It focuses on the definition of each phenomenon and their associations with posttraumatic psychopathology as it considers the relevant neurobiology. Dissociative reactions that may occur during trauma exposure include emotional numbing or detachment, reduced awareness, and distortions of reality. The main feature of TI is reversible physical immobility and muscular rigidity, which can last from a few seconds to many hours. Research regarding the basis, function, and mechanisms underlying the TI response has resulted in the acceptance of the fear hypothesis (FH), a multidimensional model of TI. Researchers have also examined the brain structures involved in the expression of TI, and three regions appear to be the most relevant to the induction and inhibition of this phenomenon: the frontal lobes, the limbic system, and the brainstem.

  • Is Genius Mad?Go to chapter: Is Genius Mad?

    Is Genius Mad?

    Chapter

    The idea of the mad genius persisted all the way to modern times and was even promulgated in scientific circles. Not only was genius mad, but it was associated with criminality and genetic degeneration. The empirical research relevant to the mad-genius issue uses three major methods: the historiometric, the psychometric and the psychiatric. The historical record is replete with putative exemplars of mad genius. The mental illness adopts a more subtle but still pernicious guise-alcoholism. In fact, it sometimes appears that alcoholism is one of the necessities of literary genius. Psychopathology can be found in other forms of genius besides creative genius. Of the available pathologies, depression seems to be the most frequent, along with its correlates of suicide and alcoholism or drug abuse. Family lineages that have higher than average rates of psychopathology will also feature higher than average rates of genius.

    Attachment, Neuropeptides, and Autonomic Regulation: A Vagal Shift Hypothesis

    Chapter

    This chapter focuses on the modulatory role of the neuropetides in attachment as well as autonomic regulation, discussing sympathetic and parasympathetic arousal, particularly dorsal vagal and ventral vagal regulation as suggested by polyvagal theory. The probable role of the endogenous opioid system in the modulation of oxytocin and vasopressin release is discussed with a view toward the elicitation of both relational and active defensive responses are reviewed. Porges’ Polyvagal Theory delineates two parasympathetic medullary systems, the ventral and dorsal vagal. Brain circuits involved in the maintenance of affiliative behavior are precisely those most richly endowed with opioid receptors. Avoidant attachment is commonly associated with parental figures that have been rejecting or unavailable and refers to a pattern of attachment where the child avoids contact with the parent. The similarity of severe posttraumatic presentations to autism suggests that the research with regard to social affiliation in autism spectrum.

    Is Genius Born or Made?

    Chapter

    Creativity, like genius, was once viewed as a spiritual phenomenon. In ancient times, to be creative was to be divine. Almost every human culture had its creation myth recounting the miraculous accomplishments of some spiritual power. The immortal Muse provided a guiding spirit or source of inspiration for the mortal creator. As Western civilization became more secular in emphasis, and especially during the enlightenment, the concept of creative genius lost its sacred accoutrements. Francis Galton argued that geniuses are those who possess an exceptional amount of natural ability. That is, geniuses would score in the upper tail of the normal distribution in intelligence, enthusiasm, and perseverance. Galton was the first to inquire about the impact of birth order, an unmistakably environmental variable. This chapter discusses the effect of environmental factors and the effect of genetics. Behavioral genetics is the scientific discipline committed to understanding how genes affect behavior in animals.
