Non-consensual Image-based Sexual Offending
Bridging Legal and Psychological Perspectives
AvDean Fido,Craig A. Harper
Inbunden, Engelska, 2020
652 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book presents a timely analysis of the psychological influences, underpinnings, and predictors of non-consensual image-based sexual offending (NCIBSO), such as revenge pornography, cyber-flashing, deepfake media production and upskirting. In this rapidly expanding field, this book offers a novel perspective that encompasses both a forensic psychoanalytic analysis of offending behaviours and an examination of the influence of our use of online environments and digital platforms on these behaviours. The authors begin by outlining the historical and legal context before moving on to a critique of previously posited motivating factors. Rather than conceptualising NCIBSO in purely gendered terms, they demonstrate the potential for a psychological framework to facilitate a better understanding of how and why people engage in a range of non-consensual sexual image offences. In doing so it will provide fresh insights for policymakers and clinicians, in addition to scholars from across thefields of psychology, sociology, criminology, law, media and gender studies.

Mindfulness in a Digital World
AvDave Harley
Inbunden, Engelska, 2022
299 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Using a lens of mindfulness, this book explores how digital dependencies can displace attention and undermine attentional control, leading to experiences of stress and mindless involvement with digital technology. Using qualitative interviews with teachers and students of mindfulness programmes, the book explores the challenges and opportunities for reconciling digital interactions with mindful practice. A phenomenological analysis of participants’ digital experiences shows three different imperatives (relating to digital capabilities, hyper-reality and algorithms), that can drive unconscious forms of interaction and encourage a delegation of attentional control that draws users away from the present moment. The book concludes by exploring the implications of these (extra-conscious) imperatives for understanding digital addiction. It also provides a set of guidelines for a digital approach to mindfulness practice that can encourage beneficial relationships with digital technology into the future.
Understanding Mental Health Apps
An Applied Psychosocial Perspective
AvLewis Goodings,Darren Ellism. fl.
Inbunden, Engelska, 2024
563 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This is the first book to look exclusively from at the use of MHapps from an applied psychosocial perspective. Much of the academic literature on MHapps in psychology focuses on the clinical efficacy of using apps (e.g., depression reduction as result of using a certain app) and will typically report on the use of randomised controlled trials (or a similar method) to illustrate the use of apps as a tool for improving a psychological condition. Therefore, the main benefit of this book is that it recognises the impact of apps from a social perspective and will aim to show how everyday forms of distress are embedded in the use of these apps and the broader set of relations that constitute people’s everyday lives. The content of this book will identify how an applied social perspective can offer insight into the power of apps to shape our sense of ourselves and of others. This book will be of use to educators and students in psychology, sociology, health studies, media studies andcultural studies.

Sharenting Practices, Consequences and Protective Measures
AvMichel Walrave,Liselot Huddersm. fl.
Inbunden, Engelska, 2025
479 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book provides an interdisciplinary analysis of the sharenting phenomena, while discussing the various stakeholders involved, e.g., the portrayed children and adolescents, (grand)parents and other family members. Sharenting, i.e. parents’ disclosure of personal information related to their children on social media, is increasingly the subject of public debate. Moreover, some parents participate in influencer sharenting, where they generate revenue by featuring their children in professionalised and commercialised social media content, often in collaboration with brands. However, while sharing personal information of children has become common practice, concerns arise regarding its risks. Consequently, sharenting has been studied in several disciplines, including communication studies, psychology, marketing, criminology, law, sociology, and health sciences. This interdisciplinary approach, adopted by this book, generates several suggestions for future research, alongside practical implications for parents and policy makers.

Critical Perspectives on Smartphone Addiction
AvRichard James,Lucy Hitcham
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026
452 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
The book introduces and critically reviews conceptual and empirical issues surrounding the topic of smartphone addiction. Smartphone addiction has been proposed as a candidate psychiatric disorder characterised by disordered, problematic, uncontrolled use of one’s phone or the content on it. There is now a literature of several thousand papers exploring the risks and consequences associated with smartphone addiction. This has led to calls for intervention in the media worldwide, including restrictions and bans on digital media. However, there are fundamental concerns about smartphone addiction and how it is defined, researched, and studied, which necessitates a pause for thought. This book explores several of these concerns: conceptualisation, measurement, methodology, and treatment, each requiring a comprehensive, integrated investigation. This multi-lens examination of the issues with smartphone addiction enables us to draw wide-reaching conclusions about the state of smartphone addiction and how these issues can be addressed. This is especially important in light of critical problems that are prevalent in behavioural sciences, such as concerns about the quality of measurement, the replication crisis, and the growing open science movement.

Impacts of Digital Disembodiment on Quality of Life
AvJohn A. Waterworth
Inbunden, Engelska, 2025
426 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book identities several varieties of digital displacement, focussing on the impact of these developments on our quality of life, our sense of wellbeing. During the course of the 21st century we have seen a profound change in human behaviour and experience through the intervening and changing effects of evolving digital technologies. This development is characterised by our psychologically spending more and more of our waking lives in places other than where our bodies are physically located. Prior to these changes, personhood was tied to being in a particular body, in a particular place, at a particular time. The book examines this development and explores its ramifications for individual and social experiences, and for the sense of self, of being a person displaced into cyberspace. Because we retain our sense of being in our own body, although relocated to another place, when we feel technologically disembodied it is as if we have left our body behind, perhaps sitting in a train, a café, an armchair, or behind a familiar desk. We might be walking down a street, engaged with our mobile phone while following the stream of other pedestrians, with almost no attention devoted to our physical location. With the increased prevalence of various forms of VR, it is as if we have travelled, bodily as well as psychologically, to a different distant place, and even into a different body. This provides a unique perspective for understanding the impact and importance of technology-mediated change on our psychological and social lives.
Virtual Autism and Other Screen Disorders
AvMichael C Nagel,Rachael Sharman
Inbunden, Engelska, 2025

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book explores the pervasive impact of technology on the developing brains of young people. There is a growing body of research documenting ‘autistic’ like behaviours in children and adolescents as a function of their exposure to screen-based technologies. Contemporary research by the authors and others suggest that the omnipotence of screen devices with their 24/7 media rich environments are shaping young minds with long term outcomes that are potentially detrimental to several aspects of development. Moreover, given the rise in dominance of online social platforms in increasingly more aspects of day-to-day lives, it is important that society understand the generational impacts of screen-based social platforms. Importantly, the book also posits that questions need to be raised regarding the developmental trajectory of future generations who will be at the forefront of reshaping the social norms and expectations of society while offering a pathway to mitigate any developmental deficits.

It highlights their specific characteristics, overarching similarities, dynamic entanglements, potentials, and risks, and finally, their meaning for the social self. Through this lens, the book examines how individuals initiate and sustain relationships, how intimacy and sexuality are experienced online, and how these digital practices materialize in everyday life, impacting meaning-making and broader societal organizing.Finally, the book offers conceptual ideas on media and AI literacy, as well as psychological implications, relevant to social work and education, counselling and psychotherapeutic contexts, policymakers, and everyone involved online.
Online Resilience and Wellbeing in Young People
Holistic and Harm Reduction Approaches
AvAndy Phippen,Louisa Street
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026
426 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This second volume of Online Resilience and Wellbeing in Young People explores online resilience and safety from a new perspective, by drawing extensively upon the youth voice. While “online safety” as a concept has now existed for well over ten years, the majority of policy and narrative is driven by preventative and adultist views of ensuring safety from harm. Underpinned by extensive empirical work, this book argues that safety, or freedom from harm, is not an achievable goal and we should refocus upon harm reduction and risk mitigation. Fundamental to this argument is that the youth voice clearly states that they will not disclose, or ask adults for support, because they do not believe they will get help or worse, will be punished as a result of disclosure. The research shows that professionals often bring their own digital value biases into safeguarding decisions, and feel that they should be white knights to young people, rather than listening to them and supporting them in a non-judgemental way. The book will be of great value to researchers and students as well as practitioners, teachers and parents interested in digital resilience and safeguarding, internet security and youth online behaviour and wellbeing.
