CHARLES C THOMAS
A Biography of Bobby Fischer: Understanding the Genius, Mystery, and Psychological Decline of a World Chess Champion |
| Policymakers have struggled to understand the steady increase in extremist violence in Europe during the past decade. What are the dynamics that have made the far right appealing to so many people? Cynthia Miller-Idriss examines how extremist ideologies entered mainstream German culture through commercialized products and clothing laced with extremist, anti-Semitic, racist, and nationalist coded symbols. |
Bobby Fischer, one of the world's most mysterious personalities of the middle 20th century, ended a 35-year span of Russian domination of elite chess when he defeated Boris Spassky for the World Chess Championship in 1972. This penetrating biography tells the story of Fischer's ascent to the pinnacle of chess genius and brilliance, and of his psychological decline into social isolation, paranoia, and likely mental illness. |

A Mouth Is Always Muzzled: Six Dissidents, Five Continents, and the Art of Resistance |
| Films can be a powerful aid to learning about mental illness. This critically acclaimed text, written by experienced clinicians and teachers who are themselves movie aficionados, has established a reputation as a uniquely enjoyable and highly memorable text for learning about psychopathology. This new, expanded addition includes a full index and ratings of 1,500 films, with fascinating sections on “Top 50 Heroes and Villains” and “Psychotherapists in Movies.” |
As people consider how to respond to a resurgence of racist, xenophobic populism, A Mouth Is Always Muzzled tells an extraordinary story of how art brings hope in perilous times. Weaving disparate topics from sugar and British colonialism to attacks on free speech and Facebook activism, Natalie Hopkinson argues that art is where the future is negotiated. |

Hayes, a founder of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and a world-renowned authority on mindfulness-based therapy, this book offers powerful insight into how acceptance and mindfulness-based interventions are being successfully used to treat a variety of addictive behaviors, ranging from substance abuse to gambling addiction. |
In popular understanding, the Ku Klux Klan is a hateful white supremacist organization. In Ku Klux Kulture, Felix Harcourt show that in the 1920s, the self-proclaimed Invisible Empire had a wider significance, revealing the extent to which the KKK participated in and penetrated popular American culture, reaching far beyond its paying membership to become part of modern American society. |
