Considerable research has been devoted to understanding how positive emotional processes influence our thoughts and behaviors, and the resulting body of work clearly indicates that positive emotion is a vital ingredient in our human quest towards well-being and thriving. Yet the role of positive emotion in psychopathology has been underemphasized, such that comparatively less scientific attention has been devoted to understanding ways in which positive emotions might influence and be influenced by psychological disturbance. Presenting cutting-edge scientific work from an internationally-renowned group of contributors, The Oxford Handbook of Positive Emotion and Psychopathology provides unparalleled insight into the role of positive emotions in mental health and illness. The book begins with a comprehensive overview of key psychological processes that link positive emotional experience and psychopathological outcomes. The following section focuses on specific psychological disorders, including depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, as well as developmental considerations. The third and final section of the Handbook discusses translational implications of this research and how examining populations characterized by positive emotion disturbance enables a better understanding of psychiatric course and risk factors, while simultaneously generating opportunities to bridge gaps between basic science models and psychosocial interventions. With its rich and multi-layered focus, The Oxford Handbook of Positive Emotion and Psychopathology will be of interest to researchers, teachers, and students from a range of disciplines, including social psychology, clinical psychology and psychiatry, biological psychology and health psychology, affective science, and neuroscience.

Die Psychopathologie des Extremismus und Terrorismus stellt ein wiederkehrendes Erklärungsmuster politisch-ideologisch motivierter Kriminalität dar. Ging es in den 1970er Jahren um die psychischen und/oder Persönlichkeitsstörungen als Ursachen der extremistischen Gewalt, rückte etwa ein Jahrzehnt später die „terroristische Persönlichkeit“ in den Vordergrund. Ein wesentlicher Unterschied zeitgenössischer Forschungsansätze besteht darin, dass die Psychopathologie eher selten ätiologisch interpretiert wird. Dieses Buch setzt sich kritisch mit den psycho(patho)logischen Erklärungsparadigmen auseinander und behandelt die Frage nach dem Ursache-Wirkung-Zusammenhang im Kontext des politisch-ideologisch induzierten Gewaltverhaltens.

Die Beurteilung der Schuldfähigkeit ist der Kernbereich der forensischen Psychiatrie. Sie ist eine zentrale Schnittstelle zwischen Medizin und Strafrecht, mit Folgen auch für den längerfristigen Umgang mit Rechtsbrechern. Grundlagen und Begrenzungen der Schuldfähigkeit sind immer wieder Gegenstand des öffentlichen Diskurses. Zudem wirken im Gerichtssaal Psychologen und Psychiater als Gehilfen der Wahrheitsfindung, die sich mit der Aussagetüchtigkeit von Zeugen und der Glaubhaftigkeit ihrer Aussagen befassen. Dieser 2. Band des Handbuchs bietet eine eingehende, wissenschaftlich begründete Begutachtungskunde. Er beschreibt die psychischen Störungen, die Einfluss nehmen können auf die Schuldfähigkeit, und erläutert ihre kriminologische Relevanz. Weitere Themen sind die Verhandlungsfähigkeit, die Strafreife von Jugendlichen und die Standards der Glaubhaftigkeitsbegutachtung. Dabei wird auch auf die Gesetzeslage in Österreich und der Schweiz eingegangen. Auch dieser Band des Handbuchs wendet sich an Psychiater und Psychologen, die ihre forensischen Kenntnisse und gutachterlichen Fertigkeiten vertiefen wollen, an Strafjuristen, Berichterstatter und rechtspolitisch Interessierte.
