Machine learning algorithms are widely presumed to herald a world in which the crippling burdens of anxiety can be left behind. The digital revolution promises a brave new world where individuals, communities and organizations can at last take control of the future – anticipating, designing and commanding the future, possibly even with mathematical exactitude. Yet, paradoxically, algorithms have unleashed widespread fears and forebodings about the impact of digital technologies. Whether it’s worries about unemployment, distress about social media’s harmful effects on teenagers, or the fear of intrusive digital surveillance, we live in an age of turbo-charged anxiety where the prophecies of algorithms are increasingly enmeshed with fundamental disruption and anxieties about the future. In this book, Anthony Elliott examines how machine learning algorithms are not only transforming global institutions but also rewriting our personal lives. He tells this story through a wide-ranging analysis which takes in ChatGPT, Amazon, the Metaverse, Martin Ford, Netflix, Uber, Bernard Stiegler, Squid Game, Kate Crawford, LaMDA, Byung-Chul Han, autonomous drones, Jean Baudrillard and the automation of warfare. Questioning why people often assume that they need to adopt new technologies in order to lead fulfilling lives, Elliott argues that people may be as much entranced as inspired by their outsourcing of personal decision-making to smart machines.

Using the practical yet comprehensive approach found in the first edition, the author considers each anxiety disorder's clinical complexity while simultaneously using an integrative orientation toward finding clinical solutions. The author considers the presentation of each disorder as it occurs and is treated in the "real world" of clinical practice. Finally, the volume addresses effective therapeutic procedures and recommendations, including pharmacological and psychological treatment approaches. A true "must read" for any psychiatrist interested in anxiety disorders.

Algorithms in Pediatrics uses an algorithm-based approach to various paediatric disorders. The book is divided into nineteen sections covering all paediatric specialties and sub-specialties, from neonatology, through to haematology and oncology. Later sections focus on other important topics in paediatrics including emergencies in office practice, intensive care, and a final section on paediatric surgery. Every section presents algorithms based on patient history, physical examination, and laboratory studies, using a step-by-step approach. Clinical evaluation, diagnosis, treatment and management are also included, with clinical pearls throughout and key points at the end of each section, making this an ideal resource for post-graduates and paediatricians. Key Points Comprehensive, step-by-step guide to a range of paediatric disorders Nineteen sections covering all paediatric specialities and sub-specialities Clinical pearls and key points summary in each section

This timely handbook provides state-of-the-art coverage of both current and emerging theories, research, and treatment of dissociative phenomena. The book opens with a discussion of the historic, epidemiologic, phenomenologic, etiologic, normative, and cross-cultural dimensions of dissociation, providing an empirical foundation for the remaining chapters. Subsequent chapters examine the developmental aspects of dissociative disorders in addition to psychological and psychophysiological assessments. Eight case studies apply dissociation theory and research to specific treatment modalities.

Psychopharmacology is the study of drugs used to treat psychiatric disorders. This textbook looks at the use of clinical algorithms in relation to clinical psychopharmacology, especially the nature and current use of algorithms, and their future potential for the medical community.

Machine learning is able to solve real-time problems. It has several algorithms such as classification, clustering, and more.

Covering key topics such as classification, artificial neural networks, prediction, random forest, and regression analysis, this premier reference source is ideal for industry professionals, computer scientists, researchers, academicians, scholars, practitioners, instructors, and students.

This bookis an interactive workbook where clients, students, and everyday people can understand and find step by step solutions for regulating of their emotions. Each chapter allows the reader to find out for themselves how they would personally regulate emotions ranging from anger, resentment and jealousy to other emotions such as depression, anxiety and self-hatred. Twelve different emotions are covered in the workbook giving the reader those emotions most commonly needing regulation in everyday living. The workbook takes a holistic approach where not only one’s behavior or feelings are considered. Behavior, thoughts, feelings, beliefs, identity and the emotional climate where emotions are experienced, make up this well-rounded approach to understanding emotional regulation in your personal life. The workbook also includes strategies for professional counselors to successfully deal with client emotions, with the goal of helping to improve the client/counselor relationship. This is the perfect book for one on one conversation or used in groups for a more interactive approach to emotional regulation.
