Borderline (Psychology Revivals)

A Psychological Study of Paranoia and Delusional Thinking

Originally published in 1992, Borderline presents a unique study of the disturbed mind. Professional psychologist Peter Chadwick draws upon his own personal experience of madness to provide a valuable exploration of the psychology of paranoia and schizophrenia.The book goes beyond a narrowly focused analytical approach to examine schizophrenia from as many perspectives as possible. Using participant observation, introspection, case study and experimental methods, Chadwick shows how paranoid and delusional thinking are only exaggerations of processes to be found in normal cognition. Impressed by the similarities between the thinking of mystics and psychotics, he argues that some forms of madness are closely related to profound mystical experience and intuition, but that these are expressed in a distorted form in the psychotic mind. He explores the many positive characteristics and capabilities of paranoid patients, providing a sympathetic account which balances the heavily negative constructions usually put on paranoia in the research literature.Borderline provides many novel insights into madness and raises important questions as to how psychosis and psychotics are to be evaluated. It will be essential reading for all practising professionals and students in clinical psychology and psychiatry, and for everyone involved in the treatment, understanding and management of schizophrenia.

Chadbergmodellen är ett nytt verktyg som skapar samstämmiga förväntningar bland mötesdeltagare för att göra kommunikationen så effektiv som möjligt, något som är centralt inte minst i interkulturella sammanhang.

Varje mötesnivå på Chadbergskalan bestäms utifrån nivåns krav på språkbruk, förberedelse, genomförande och uppföljning. Vårt målfokus på varje möte symboliseras i Chadbergskalan av en luftballong över ett landskap. Beroende på trycknivå (nödvändighetsnivåer) och dis (tydlighetsnivåer) framträder detaljerna i ballongen mer eller mindre tydligt. Då deltagarna är införstådda med kriterierna, blir mötena effektiva. Chadbergmodellen omfattar Chadbergskalan, och de verktyg som bidrar till förståelsen för skalans olika nivåer i teori och praktik.

Boken ger dig också många verktyg för att förstå och agera optimalt i affärsvärldens globala miljöer, och ger förslag på hur man etablerar ett kommunikationskontrakt med sitt arbetslag eller globala team. Rikt illustrerad och med många checklistor lämpar sig Meningsfulla möten som utbildningsmaterial inom ledarskap, mötesteknik och interkulturell kommunikation.

Boken vänder sig till dig som är chef, mötesledare, mötesdeltagare och alla som har ett intresse av kulturell kompetens (CQ) och möteskultur.

The Chadberg Scale is a new tool which align expectations among meeting participants to make communication as efficient as possible. This is important, especially in cross-cultural contexts. Sometimes we assume that the global dimension blurs the cultural differences. In reality, however, the differences appear even more clearly, not least in virtual meetings.

Each meeting level in the Chadberg Scale is defined with its corresponding language usage, preparation, execution and follow-up. Our goal in each particular meeting are symbolized by a hot air balloon over a landscape. Depending on the level of pressure (level of necessity), and haze (level of clarity), these appear more or less clearly. When participants are aligned wit the meeting criteria, the meetings become efficient.

The Chadberg Model comprises the Chadberg Scale. And the tools which enable the understanding of the various levels in theory and practice. Offshore English, aviation language and the cultural world map are examples of tools.

This book also provides you with tools to understand and interact in any global business environment, and how to establish a Code of Conduct with your team. Profusely illustrated with many check lists. Suitable as educational materials in the fields of leadership, meeting practices and cross-cultural communication/ Cultural Intelligence (CQ).

This book is written for leaders and managers, meeting participants on all levels, and all of you who are interested in meeting practices, Cross-cultural communication and global business interactions.

Pia Moberg holds a PhD D in Japanese Studies from Gothenburg University. She has a special research focus on CQ leadership, meeting practices and comparative rhetoric, and works out of Sweden as a Cross-cultural trainer, coach and consultant.
