Det finnes dyr som har helt andre strategier for omsorg enn oss mennesker. Gjøken legger eggene sine i andre fuglers reir, og lurer andre til å fostre opp ungene for seg. Brunsulen lar barna drepe hverandre uten å legge seg imellom, og gullhamsteren spiser rett og slett noen av sine egne unger hvis det blir for lite mat. Biolog Anna Blix gir oss underholdende kunnskap om det brutale livet som foregår i dyreriket. Har du noen gang vært litt bekymra fordi ungene til vennene dine aldri spiser grønnsaker? Fordi nevøen din har fri skjermtid? Tenkt at foreldrene dine kunne gjort jobben med å være foreldre litt bedre? Har du dårlig samvittighet fordi du ikke orka å leke restaurant for tusende gang med fireåringen din en feriedag, eller fordi du har latt barne-tv ta over for høytlesning hver kveld, selv om alle sier at høytlesning er bedre for hjernen enn skjerm? Det finnes heldigvis (?) verre foreldre enn oss. Det å la barna spise bare pasta mange dager på rad er tross alt ikke like ille som å spise sine egne unger!]]>

Den fabelaktige narsissisten tilbyr et nytt blikk på vår tids store moteord, og forklarer hvordan de selvopptatte, ikke bare volder skade på omgivelsene sine, men flytter verden framover.På begynnelsen av 2000-tallet ramlet Espen Skorstad ut i et prosjekt som var høyst uvanlig for en psykolog den gang. Han var nyutdannet og hadde nettopp startet et eget firma, men hadde hverken penger eller klienter. En hyggelig psykolog han kjente fra tidligere, Hedvig Montgomery, forbarmet seg. Hun spurte om han kunne være interessert i å velge ut kandidater til noen reality-programmer? Hva skulle han svare på noe sånt? Reality? Var det dette noe å bruke seks års psykologiutdannelse på?Lite visste han at reality og kjendis-TV skulle bli allemannseie få år senere. At Senterparti-lederen skulle stå på scenen kledd ut som et fugleskremsel. At NRKs vitenskapsjournalist skulle danse i bar overkropp på TV. Eller at ordførerkandidaten for partiet Rødt, Mímir Kristjánsson skulle drive valgkamp på «Farmen kjendis». Skorstad vandret i 2001 uforvarende inn i narsissismens ground zero.20 år senere i 2022, ble «Narsissisme» kåret til årets moteord av Store Norske Leksikon. Der populærkultur og media tidligere har vært fiksert på den myteomspunne psykopaten, virker det som fokus nå har dreiet mot narsissisten. Det kan se ut som vi fascineres av stoff om antagonister, egoister og personer som behandler andre dårlig. Denne fremstillingen er det grunn til å stille spørsmålstegn ved. Ikke bare demoniseringen, men også hvordan narsissisme beskrives. Vi må diskutere: Når er narsissisme skadelig, og når er det ikke skadelig? Ja, til og med spørre: Når er narsissisme konstruktivt? For hvis vi ikke klarer å se de lyse sidene av personlighetstrekket, eller evner å se det i oss selv, hvordan skal vi da kunne ta et helt nødvendig oppgjør med de mørkere sidene?

Andre bind av Stormen følger Munch etter at han bryter opp fra Norge i 1902. De neste årene lever han et omflakkende og utsvevende liv på kontinentet, samtidig som hans kunstneriske anseelse vokser, ikke minst i Tyskland. Da han vender hjem etter nervesammenbruddet i 1908, hylles han som et geni, mens tyskerne kanoniserer ham som 'germansk mester' - en status som først blir problematisk når Hitler kommer til makten i 1933. Munch finner aldri sin plass i det nye århundret, han står midt i sin tid, men alltid for seg selv. I Norge er han kosmopolitten blant nasjonsbyggere, i Tyskland en aldrende avantgardist blant unge ekspresjonister. Når han trekker seg tilbake til villaen på Ekely, er det på sett og vis fordi han ikke hører hjemme andre steder enn i sin egen kunst. Der fortsetter til gjengjeld stormen å herje i kunstnerens øye til han lukker dem for siste gang en vinterdag i 1944. I andre bind av Stormen. En biografi om Edvard Munch fullfører Ivo de Figueiredo det storstilte portrettet av Norges største kunstner og hans tid.

In 2002, the Tourette Syndrome Association formed the TS Behavioral Sciences Consortium (BSC). The charge of the BSC was to develop and test nonpharmacological treatment options for individuals, both children and adults with Tourette Syndrome. This manual is the result of their work, and represents the most scientifically effective behavioral treatment for Tourette Syndrome available today. The treatment program uses Habit Reversal Training (HRT) for children and adults with chronic tic disorder. Individual treatment is based at its core on awareness training, the development of a specific competing response for each tic, and the use of functionally-based strategies for the elimination of tic-exacerbating antecedent and consequent variables. In addition, individual treatment includes techniques designed to enhance patient compliance, including social support and an inconveniencereview, as well as scheduled time for the therapist and client to discuss areas of functioning that individuals with TS may find difficult, such as social/familial difficulties and disruptive/anger/rage behavior. Each week, clients are given homework assignments, to be done 4-5 times per week, consisting of 20 to 30 minutes of awareness and competing response training to tics addressed in session. The client will be encouraged to keep tally marks to monitor tic behavior. Home-based monitoring and competing response training are reviewed at each session. All homework assignments will be available in the companion workbook.
