Mind, Brain and the Path to Happiness

A Guide to Buddhist Mind Training and the Neuroscience of Meditation

Chapter 6Glossary; Bibliography; Index.

This book is the result of my exploration of the mind as a psychologist,
neuroscientist, meditation practitioner and teacher. As long as I remember I have
been intrigued by questions about the role of our beliefs, percep- tions, thoughts
– our mind – in health, illness, achievement and coping with challenges. Not
surprisingly, my undergraduate and initial postgraduate training was in
psychology, particularly its clinical applications. By the end of my studies,
however, I ended up with more ...

Hukum Bunuh Diri & Eutanasia Dalam Syariah Islam

Dalam berbagai ayatnya, Al-Qur’an menegaskan bahwa Allah SWT, adalah tuhan yang menganugerahkan hidup dan menentukan mati. Diantaranya: Allah menciptakan kamu, kemudian mewafatkan kamu, dan diantara kamu ada yagn dikembalikan kepada umur yang paling lemah (pikun) supaya dia tidak mengetahui lagi sesuatupun yang pernah diketahuinya. Sesungguhnya Allah maha mengetahui lagi maha kuasa (Q.S. Al-Nhal, 16: 70). Dari ayat ini kita mengetahui bahwa kematian “suatu saat” pasti datang entah itu dimasa kanak-kanak, muda, atau lanjut usia. Ayat ini menyinggung tentang ketidak berdayaan dimasa tua yang dialami oelh sebagian manusia ketika mereka dianugerahi umur panjang. Demikian halnya bila sebelum ajal tiba, seseorang dalam rentang waktu yang panjang tertimpa berbagai penyakit yang menyebabkan dia harus mendapatkan perawatan dan perhatian medis. Di dalam Al-Qur’an surat Al-Mulk ayat 2, di ingatkan bahwa hidup dan mati adalah ditangan Allah yang ia ciptakan untukmenguji iman, amalah, dan ketaatan manusia terhadap tuhan, penciptanya. Karena itu, Islam sangat memperhatikan keselamatan hidup dan kehidupan manusia sejak ia berada di rahim ibunya sampai sepanjang hidupnya. Dan untuk melindungi keselamatan hidup dan kehidupan manusia itu, Islam menetapkan berbagai norma hukum perdata dan hidup manusia itu, Islam menetapkan norma hukum perdata dan pidana beserta sanksi-sanksi hukumannya, baik di dunia berupa hukuman haddar qisas termasuk hukuman mati, diyat (denda) atau ta’zir, ialah hukuman yang ditetapkan oleh ulul amr atau lembaga peradilan, maupun hukuman diakhirat berupa siksaan Tuhan dineraka kelak. Hidup dan mati itu ada ditangan Allah SWT dan merupakan karunia dan wewenang Allah SWT, maka Islam melarang orang melakukan pembunuhan, baik terhadap orang lain (kecuali, dengan alasan yang dibenarkan oleh agama) maupun terhadap dirinya sendiri (bunuh diri) dengan alasan apapun.

Dalam berbagai ayatnya, Al-Qur’an menegaskan bahwa Allah SWT, adalah tuhan yang menganugerahkan hidup dan menentukan mati.

Qualitative Research Methods In Psychology: Combining Core Approaches

From core to combined approaches

This book introduces the single use of four widely-used qualitative approaches and then introduces ways and applications of using the approaches in combination. Personal insight into qualitative research practice from each of the contributors covers health psychology, social psychology, criminal psychology, gender studies psychotherapy, counselling psychology and organizational psychology.

In Part 1, we take each method and discuss it in detail in a way that aims to show
how and why you can employ it in your own research. We present some
background to its development and use, and describe various ways in which it is
applied. Typical research questions are described alongside several examples of
its use. Challenges and particular considerations of each method, such as
application, ethics, data elicitation and participant recruitment, are considered.

Approaches to Social Enquiry

Since its initial publication, this highly respected book has provided students with a much-needed critical review of the major research paradigms in the social sciences and the logics or strategies of inquiry associated with them. Approaches to Social Enquiry draws together a vast body of literature from the philosophy of science, the philosophy of social science, social theory and research methodology. It focuses on questions such as: How is new social scientific knowledge produced or existing knowledge further developed? What status does this knowledge have and how can this be established? To what extent can the ways of advancing knowledge in the natural sciences be used in the social sciences? What major dilemmas do social researchers face in the development of new knowledge? No other text offers such a clear and accessible, but still rigorous, account of these sometimes complex debates. This second edition has been thoroughly updated to encompass the most contemporary debates about the conduct and underpinnings of social research. More attention is also paid to research practice. In addition, integrated empirical examples have been included to illustrate and extend the philosophical and theoretical discussion. Approaches to Social Enquiry will be invaluable to advanced undergraduate and graduate students who are planning their own research or studying research methods, and to researchers across a wide range of disciplines.

Vital Memory and Affect

Living with a difficult past

Vital Memory and Affect takes as its subject the autobiographical memories of ‘vulnerable’ groups, including survivors of child sexual abuse, adopted children and their families, forensic mental health service users, and elderly persons in care home settings. In particular the focus is on a particular class of memory within this group: recollected episodes that are difficult and painful, sometimes contested, but always with enormous significance for a current and past sense of self. These ‘vital memories’, integral and irreversible, can come to appear as a defining feature of a person’s life. In Vital Memory and Affect, authors Steve Brown and Paula Reavey explore the highly productive way in which individuals make sense of a difficult past, situated as they are within a highly specific cultural and social landscape. Via an exploration of their vital memories, the book combines insights from social and cognitive psychology to open up the possibility of a new approach to memory, one that pays full attention to the contextual conditions of all acts of remembering. This path-breaking study brings together a unique set of empirical material and maps out an agenda for research into memory and affect that will be important reading for students and scholars of social psychology, memory studies, cultural studies, philosophy, and other related fields.
