Bitesize Psychology: Understanding Communication

Kjersti Kvam / Catrin Sagen

Understanding Communication: The most important things to know is the book that can make us better at communicating with one another and with ourselves. Every day we communicate non-stop. We give messages, ask questions, react, signal how we’re feeling, scream out in anger, cry tears, present our opinions, show our love, chat, send texts, call, and write. We applaud when we’re excited, we bang our fist on the table when we’re angry, and we stare at the ground when we want to avoid something. But do you really know how you communicate and how others perceive and receive it? And do you understand what others try to convey to you? Misunderstandings are the root of many mental loads, but the more you know and understand about communication, the better you will get at expressing yourself and receiving information from others in a clear and precise manner. Understanding Communication is the first book in the Bitesize Psychology series, which considers the important everyday psychology we live with. In Understanding Communication the author asks the questions we all have, and the psychologist Catrin Sagen, one of the most well-known voices of therapy in Norwegian media, pours out her wise and human knowledge about the topics.

The Narcisisst

Erling Simon

Jim’s grandma is dying, and he has to clean up the empty house. This process puts him in touch with a childhood that wasn’t necessarily happy, and which made him, despite his talent, quit playing music, the thing he loved the most, when he was 15 years old. His childhood is well documented by his father, an internationally recognised photo artist. His father’s pictures of Jim as a child shows Jim and his older brother, Aksel, in scenes characterised by jealousy and fighting over their father’s favour. Jim’s artistic gifts made him and his father very close, but the weeks alone in his grandma’s house leads Jim to find signs of how his father’s actions poisoned his relationship with his older brother. The Narcissist is a novel about fathers and sons. About the mechanisms which hold them together, about a father’s self-assertion, and about love and trust that grow weaker. Intimate and controlled language shows up close how our view of reality sometimes can be shaken up; an existential experience which many can recognize. This is a novel about those who have stopped trusting their loved ones, or who no longer has their loved ones’ trust.

He’s given many patients their lives back through methods of pain treatment which is based on one’s own resources. In this book he shares his best relief and healing techniques, such as strength and stretching exercises, breathing techniques, pressure points, visualization, and sound. The book also contains unique stories about people who are now living new and pain-free lives, or whose pain is no longer controlling their day-to-day – including the author’s own experience of managing pain. Pain can come with huge costs, mostly for the individual, but also for the society.

Veronica Danielsen

The Northern Lights have fascinated humans throughout times. When the colours dance across the sky, it almost seems like magic. In more recent times the interest in the Northern Lights is increasing with the introductions of technology that can forecast the lights and analyse the magnetism of the atmosphere.

After reading this book, you’ll be able to gaze up at the sky and know how the Northern Lights are put together that night. In addition to this, the book addresses incredible myths, how animals experience the lights, how the lights affect us and our technology – and even Northern Lights on other planets!

Ann-Christin Gjersøe

The Girl in the Snow is the beginning of a series set at the Sommersholm manor in the 1800s. Sommersholm is a venerable manor that has belonged to the Adler family for generations.

Alise's grandmother got to know the Adler family's darkest secrets as a young chambermaid at Sommersholm. Until the day she died, she never revealed to anyone what she saw and heard. But the secrets did not follow her to the grave. After three years in Australia, the heir of Sommersholm, Birkthorn Adler, returns home to Norway. He went there against his father's will, and three years of separation have not dampened the strife between father and son. When he left, Alise was a young girl, but she has not forgotten the landowner's son who saved her life on a freezing cold winter night many years ago.

Race

Jon Røyne Kyllingstad

For more than ten years historian Jon Røyne Kyllingstad has studied how the concept of race has been used in the history of science, from the 1600s until today. The idea that some races have been elevated above others has been rooted in all parts of academia, and affected research within anthropology, history, and medicine. Some of our foremost researchers have allowed themselves to use a scientific “reasoning” for systematic discrimination, and in this interesting as well as frightening work parts of our academic history which so far has been forgotten or ignored is put to the light in a systemic manner.REVIEWS Thorough and great about the history of the science of race«Probably no one in Norway has better overview of the history of the science of race today, than Kyllingstad. The book is thorough, faithful and brings forth nuances that have disappeared in other writings.»SUBJEKT, five/six starsProves why the decolonalisation of academia is still important«Science historian Jon Røyne Kyllingstad is perhaps Norway's foremost expert on how racial thinking has shaped our scientific practice, as well as the society of which it is a part. [… Race] has become a summary of his own research on the use of the concept of race in academia, from the beginning of the 17th century to the present day.»AFTENPOSTEN Rock solid about racial thinking and history of science«A short book review cannot do justice to such a well-documented and diverse work, but let it also be mentioned that the professional - and non-professional - discussion about the relationship between the majority population and the Sami, Kven and other minorities has naturally had a wide space.»KLASSEKAMPEN
