Students of the human sciences – economics, sociology, politics, anthropology, psychology – frequently encounter the names and distinctive theories of philosophers. It is none the less difficult to judge the contribution of such philosophers without a training in philosophy. First published in 1986, Philosophy and the Human Sciences is designed to bridge that gap in understanding by introducing the philosophers of most importance for the human sciences, from the viewpoint of the non-specialist or the specialist in another discipline. This book offers a straightforward exposition of the contribution of a number of major philosophers and schools of philosophy to the social and behavioural sciences. Where appropriate, the exposition is illustrated by examples drawn from the human sciences; for example, Wittgenstein’s thought is introduced through a discussion of his treatment of Sir James Frazer’s anthropology. The authors have considerable experience of writing for students, and the book should be widely welcomed.

Although conflicting ideas exist about the origin of the shaman, it is clear that these individuals exist across culture and history. Research has indicated that a specific altered state of consciousness (ASC) exists that the shaman utilizes to help the individual or group heal. Discrepancies in understanding the shaman's experience of ASC had led to the call for further research in this area. This phenomenological study aimed to investigate the shaman's experience of the ASC. Results indicated that the shaman's evolution was based on the criteria associated with the wounded healer archetype as well as conditions associated with the individuation process of Jung. Based on the narratives of the five participants, the results suggest that the shaman is a person who has an expanded understanding of the consciousness experience. This contrasts what Western society has understood about consciousness. The study also revealed the shaman's experience of the ASC was accomplished through a pattern of development that resulted in each participant acquiring the status of shaman.

Dark Psychology Series Book #4I

The last time Timothy broke a rule, he got suspended. But when he defies the faery empress, it might well get him killed. Timothy Sinclair doesn't believe in faeries - after all the hardships he's suffered since his missionary parents sent him away to boarding school, he's not even sure he still believes in God. But when a tiny winged girl named Linden bursts into his life and begs him to help save her people, the skeptical Timothy finds himself drawn into a struggle against a potent evil that threatens humans and faeries alike. With a deadly pair of hunters on their trail, Timothy and Linden flee across country, drawn by the legend of a white stone that could be the faeries' salvation. But the dangers that await them test their courage and resolve to the limit, threatening to tear their unlikely partnership apart. And when it comes down to one last desperate battle, they and all the people they love will be doomed unless Linden and Timothy can find the faith to overcome...

"Once upon a time there was a girl who was special. This is not her story. Unless you count the part where I killed her." Sixteen-year-old Alison wakes up in a mental institution. As she pieces her memory back together, she realizes she's confessed to murdering Tori Beaugrand, the most perfect girl at school. But the case is a mystery. Tori's body has not been found, and Alison can't explain what happened. One minute she was fighting with Tori. The next moment Tori disintegrated--into nothing. But that's impossible. No one is capable of making someone vanish. Right? Alison must be losing her mind--like her mother always feared she would. For years Alison has tried to keep her weird sensory abilities a secret. No one ever understood--until a mysterious visiting scientist takes an interest in Alison's case. Suddenly, Alison discovers that the world is wrong about her--and that she's capable of far more than anyone else would believe.
