Sobre IBD

The voyage of discovery that commenced in Volume One continues in Lectures on General Psychology ~ Volume Two. In Volume Two we sail to different destinations and explore new and wonderful topics. Sleep, motivation, emotions, health psychology and stress, social psychology and psychological disorders-these topics are explored in a comprehensive and critical manner. Among many tantalizing topics, Prof. Ford explains- • How students can keep their sleep debt below the interest payment of impaired health. • How shooting apples off the archery coach’s head in high school demonstrates the belonging need in Maslow’s hierarchy of motives.• How he deftly avoided flying body parts when a pedestrian exploded on Second Ave. after holding anger in for too long. • How writing letters to dictators can result in the perceived control of stress. • How, based on cognitive dissonance, playing hard to get gains women the advantage in the game of courtship.• And how a fantasy about a beach in Pensacola elucidates the schizophrenic process. There have never been lectures on general psychology like the ones in Volume Two. Students are invited on board a voyage of psychological discoveries. The trip is entertaining, exhilarating, and thoroughly educational. 3

  • The Paradoxical Ego
    Eugene Halliday / Zhu Kabere
    Three particular themes are basic to this study.

Second, and closely related to the first tenet, man is not separable from his environment. We all share in this...

    Words. What would we be without them?Without words, we could hardly be said to be human-fully human. Without words, there would be no poems. No novels. No scientific treatises. No textbooks. No chapter books. No children’s books. Without words, there would be no discussions. No arguments. No guidance. No praise. No reproof-maybe the absence of reproof is a good thing. Without w...

  • Genealogical Musings
    Dennis Ford
    For a quarter century, I’ve pursued genealogical minutiae-the particulars of family compositions in the townlands of Eastern County Mayo and nineteenth century records of the Juchnewicz families of Girdziunai village in Lithuania. But genealogy is more than the obsessive collection of baptisms, marriages, and deaths. The study of family history is also the study of history. Mus...
