Psychology New Releases

[close] Anti-Racism Reading Group for mental health professionals. Thank you so much for your interest in this group. I'm thrilled that others are willing to support each other as we do this important work. I want to start by saying I don't claim any ownership or leadership of this group, and I think we can make decisions together as a group. Having said that, my intention is that this group is explicitly anti-racist and explicitly intersectional feminist. These past few days (May 2020), many of us have probably been thinking something like "I know that I need to do something, but I don't know what to do." Black leaders have been pretty consistent in their advice to White people: White people need to learn. So I spread invitations to this group primarily to White people. Not to centre us, but because we are the ones who need to do this work. But we are not going to limit membership or participation based on race or any other identifying factor. I invited clinical psychologists (including students) and other mental health professionals in the hopes that our discussions can include themes related to our professional work. Please introduce yourself, vote in a poll, start or respond to topics in the forum, and add books to the group shelf! You may need to "verify your email" with Goodreads before it will let you post in the group.

[close] A Book Club Named Desire is a quest for knowledge and mastery of the subjects of desire, love, attraction, sex, eroticism, dating, relationships, and any other affiliated subject. Join the trek and read the current book(s), share your thoughts and observations along the way. Follow the trail of books already read, continue the discussions, and provide reviews and ratings. Help pave the way by recommending and voting on books to read. Forge a path and lead discussions on other books of your independent choosing, giving other members helpful guidance on what books they might read on their own journey. Books included will mainly be (but not limited to) non-fiction and include personal development and self-help; psychology and evolutionary psychology; practical guides and technique manuals; philosophy, history, spirituality; and classic literature and poetry. The book club is open to anyone (18+) of any gender and orientation who has interest in these subject areas and those who desire to improve their love/sex lives. Some books may be gender or orientation specific. The book club is moderated, however its operation and development is intended to be democratic and organic. All participation and contribution is welcome and encouraged.
