"Would you like really theorized psychology with scientific reviews or just fun psychology with basic info ?"

both sounds interesting O.o

Okay so it would really depend on what you are trying to focus and what you want to learn. I will give a few authors that you can check out, authors that I studied on university and to which concepts are very important and super interesting. Also there's a few universities sites that allow you to search scientific articles about psychology (such as Cambridge or Cairn, so don't hesitate if there's a topic in particular)

Psychoanalysis:

Freud : Books such as "introduction of psychoanalysis" or "dream analysis" are good starters

Jung

Bergeret

Psychology/Psychopathology:

Again, Freud is extremely important, the father of all psychology, so any book of his will be a good basic. So is Jung

I don't have an author in particular, but any book that will make a classification of the different disorders, with the nosology and the different conceptions (systemic, humanist, cognitive, ect)

You can try the DSM5 but not sure you will find it online and it might be complicated to understand since it's reserved to professionals

Eysenck , Beck are good authors when it comes to personality disorders

Child Psychology

Winnicott : transitional object theory which is extremely important on childhood concepts, "le moi-peau", how child subconscious gets started, relationship between mother and child

A. Freud: she takes of her father but on a more child like concept, she works on several topics between the relationship with the mother, the plays and the develop stages.

Dolto: she worked on the fantasmatic aspects of childhood, with the desire of "murder", symbolic function

Klein: the interpretation of play

Ferenczi : reflexion on traumatisms on children, introjection, Clivage and transfers

Bowlby : Attachment theories and styles

Lacan

Jacques Vauclair: “ Le Développement du jeune enfant”  (for french followers, it's a really good book, but I don't know if an English version is available )

Watson and Skinner: For anything involving the theory of behaviorism and learning process

Piaget: emperism concept, with innatism

Neuropsychology

Motivation/Memory

Ebbinghaus: processus of the memory

Tulving : ecphoric process, Episodic memory, long term memory, ect

Learning:

Kahneman: attention capacité

Wickens

Cherry: Stroop effect and selective attention

Perception:

Anything involving the Gestalt theory

Social Psychology

Durkheim: Suicide studies, sociologic determinism

Tarde: who created the term of social psychology in Europe

Lewin, Festinger, Kelley, Leyens, Ross are other authors important on social psychology, each one worked on the social effects on psychology developing different theories

Differential Psychology

Books such as : "Psychology differential" by Reuchlin, same title but by Gilles or Lubart and "Evaluation of the personality, methodology" by J.L

This topic of psychology helps you lean how each one of us works and thinks differently, how personality is a thing unit to each individual

Top 10 romances novels I’ve read within the past 6 months

I resumed reading romance novels this past October after a decade of not reading them, and I was thrilled to discover that ‘dark romance’ was now a thing. My favorites so far:

I Know What Love Is (and its sequel Love Is Strange) by Whitney Bianca 4. Twisted Pride by Cora Reilly 5. King of Corium (and its sequels Drop Dead Queen and Broken Kingdom) by C. Hallman and J.L. Beck 6. The Darkest Temptation by Danielle Lori 7. Run Posy Run by Cate C. Wells 8. Her Mafia Bodyguard by C. Hallman and J.L. Beck 9. God of Malice by Rina Kent 10.

[books-to-add-to-your-tbr]

Title: Corium University

Author: C. Hallman, J.L. Beck

Series or standalone: series

Publication year: 2021

Genres: fiction, romance, fantasy, contemporary

Blurb: She came here for protection, but that’s the last thing she’s going to find. Welcome to Corium University, where the most dangerous criminals in the world send their offspring - assassins, mafia leaders, arms dealers, and art thieves; you name it, this college houses them. Here, nothing can touch them. Upon arriving, Quinton knew Aspen would be here. She was the daughter of his enemy, a snake in the grass like her father. He had no intention of sparring with her...that is, until she opened her pretty little mouth. One sentence and she became his next target, and a woman that he would do anything to see on her knees at his feet. If she thought the university was the only nightmare she would have to face, she was wrong. Quinton was the king, and this was his kingdom.

A Step In Their Shoes

The idea of different privileged individuals has become a mainstream topic in recent years, as many human rights cases have come to light. To me, privilege is an advantage an individual has, based off of their socioeconomic status, age, sex and or race of the individual. For example, people born in wealthy households with two parents, have the advantage of having all necessities with extras provided to them. This allows them to focus on other things such as education, whereas an individual in a poorer household may have to focus most of their time finding food or shelter rather than an education.

The idea of privilege is everywhere in our world, even in nature interpretation, despite the best efforts of interpreters worldwide. Within the American parks system, Beck et al (2019) found that African Americans and Hispanics were often underrepresented amongst park visitors, with Caucasians making up the majority of visitors. In a paper by Pease (2015), he determined the five main barriers discouraging park attendance from minority groups. These included economic (Marginality Theory), cultural, communication, lack of knowledge, and fears. All five of these barriers play off the disadvantages that members of the minority groups share. Nature interpreters usually work outside and in nature, proving it necessary for visitors to have transport and pay park fees. Sleeping in a tent is seen as fun for some cultures, but a reminder of homelessness for others. Many minorities speak a different language than the interpreter, making it almost impossible to understand the programs. For many it may be the first time to a park, and they may not have the knowledge or know how on how to navigate the park, leading to intimidation. Finally, the fear of wildlife, getting loss, or discrimination, leads to many individuals staying home. 

An additional form of privilege commonly encountered within nature interpretation, is the difficulties disabled individuals have navigating the natural environment. This disadvantage provides a great thought experiment as it is relatable to everyone. Everyone at one point in their life will either be temperately or permanently disabled (WHO, 2011). Imagine that time you had a broken arm, foot, or a nasty cut on your finger that prevented you from doing some daily tasks like brushing your teeth, eating soup, or walking more than 10 steps. These are the challenges people with disabilities face every day. Now Imagine with your broken foot you’d like to go on a nature hike to learn about the Carolinian Forest, but its 1.5km long on a muddy trail. Unfortunately, you would be discouraged from going on the hike and feel left out. As interpreters it is our job to fix these issues, to make interpretation available for everyone. Maybe it involves a special wheelchair accessible board walk to be put into place, or it may be as simple as presenting your program from the parking lot, using the trees and environment around to help enhance your presentation. These simple strategies would allow someone unable to walk a chance to participate and feel included.

Shattered. Broken beyond repair. I’m the shell of the woman I used to be. The deeper I fall from reality, the worse things get. Only there’s one person who refuses to let me derail. Romero Pierce. Calloused. Sinister. Lethal. He’s my father's second in command, and so goddamn handsome it’s disgusting.

Everything changes when I choose to leave and find myself in the very town where my father grew up. Trying to heal is hard enough but it's nearly impossible with icy Romero watching my every move.

Keep reading for a look inside Dark Knight

I'm at the bottom of the stairs when I hear that second voice. It's deep. I don't think I've ever heard it before. Whoever it belongs to is going to have keys to the house? A new guard? The idea makes me roll my eyes. There’s enough of them wandering around this place.  

Confused, I'm still standing on the bottom step when Dad walks out of the unused east wing. His eyes widen with surprise when they land on me. “Good morning,”he says before looking over his shoulder at the man behind him.  

 “Good morning, Daddy. I wanted to catch you before you went into your office. Can you come swimming with me and Bianca today?” He steps aside, and I get my first look at the man he had been talking to. I really wish Dad would let me wear a two-piece suit. I also wish I was wearing something nicer than cutoffs right at this moment. I peer up at the man, who must be the most gorgeous man I’ve ever seen. Even cuter than Johnny Townsend. The mysterious guy is around Dad's height, six-two or three, with thick, black hair and dark blue eyes that scream leave me alone. They look like they could burn a hole through anything he stares at, and all I can think at that moment is how captivated I am by his presence.  

Unfortunately, he doesn't stare back at me. Rather, he looks at the floor, walls, and ceiling like he's pissed at them. His full lips are pulled up into a sneer. I’ve never met anybody who looked at objects so angrily just because they exist. My gaze lingers down his body, stopping on his hands. They’re huge, and I watch as he runs one through his dark hair—which could use a cut, not to mention a wash—before he jams it into the pocket of his black jeans.

He was a dark knight if I ever saw one in real life. That’s who this man is. Rugged, dark, and mysterious. Butterflies take flight in my belly, and heat creeps up my neck and into my cheeks. I stare intently at the stranger, trying to figure out who he is and what makes him tick, but all I can seem to observe is anger.  

 Dad clears his throat, dragging my attention back to him. “Romero, this is my daughter, Tatum. Tatum, this is Romero. He's going to be staying with us for a while.”

“What? Not in there, I hope?” I nod toward the open doorway they just walked through. “You said I would get to move my stuff into that wing once I start high school in the fall.”

“I said maybe,” he sighs, narrowing his eyes. I know that look. It means whatever patience he had has suddenly vanished. “I know you wanted to move your stuff in there but that’s hardly the most important thing right now. Romero needs a place to stay, and rather than give him a room near yours, I think he would do better to have his own separate wing. Eventually, I might move him out to one of the cottages on the property.”

My chest aches, my heart tightening in my chest. Forget the mysterious knight, the jerk just ruined everything!  

Yes I know it’s just a room, and I shouldn't feel this let down over something so small but I was really looking forward to it. Another step in the direction of maturity and responsibility.  

My father is a businessman in every aspect of his life and once he’s made a decision, that's it. Since I don't want to look like a spoiled baby in front of a cute boy, even if I'm disappointed, I grit my teeth and choose to swallow it down. Does it really matter that I was looking forward to having all that extra space, plus the added privacy? I guess not. I’ll eventually get over it, just like I get over everything.  

 “Okay,”I mutter, digging my nails into my palm instead of lashing out like I want to.  

“I see you’re dressed for swimming,” Dad points out like he didn’t hear me inviting him to join in the fun.  

 “Yeah, Bianca’s coming over, remember? That’s why I asked if you wanted to go swimming with us.”

“Oh. That's nice sweetie, maybe next time. I have a bunch of work to get done.” His attention drifts and he turns back to Romero.

Suddenly it's like I was never here to begin with. “In this house what is mine is yours. Anything you want, you only have to ask. We have a cook who comes six days a week. She takes off Saturday nights and all day Sunday, but always makes sure the kitchen is stocked.” 

They pass me on their way out to the kitchen and all I can do is stand there and stare at them. It's not like I expect to have a say in anything, because I never do. Not really, but I can’t deny the anger that blooms inside my chest at his clear dismissal.

Obviously, whatever Romero's story is, Dad wants to help him and that’s cool, but at the expense of brushing me off like I’m nothing.

I reach the kitchen in time to hear Dad introduce Romero to Sheryl, our cook, and she's as kind to him as she's always been to me.   “Can I fix you something for breakfast?”

“No, thanks,”he mumbles his gaze on the floor, his voice thick and raspy. “I'm not really hungry.”

“That’s fine, but you be sure to stop back whenever you want.” She notices me hanging around and gives me one of her bright, kind smiles. “Good morning, Miss Middle School Graduate. I fixed your favorite: French toast and bacon, plus fresh orange juice.”

“Oh. Thank you.”And now Romero knows I just graduated middle school, which means he knows how old I am. Cue the embarrassment. I have to open the refrigerator door to abate the way my cheeks heat up.

Behind me, Dad speaks up. “You should really eat something.”

I'm almost jealous of the concerned tone he gives him. Yes my father loves and cares about me, but he never seems concerned, not like this. It's more like he's especially interested in Romero, like he cares if he eats.   Why? Who is he? And what about him would make my father care so much?
