Taylor & Francis Practical Wisdom
Book SynopsisFeaturing original essays from leading scholars in philosophy and psychology, this volume investigates and rethinks the role of practical wisdom in light of the most recent developments in virtue theory and moral, social and developmental psychology.The concept of phronesis has long held a prominent place in the development of Aristotelian virtue ethics and moral education. However, the nature and development of phronesis is still in need of investigation, especially because of the new insights that in recent years have come from both philosophy and science. The essays in this volume contribute to the debate about practical wisdom by elucidating its role in empirical psychology and advancing important new research questions. They address various topics related to practical wisdom and its development, including honesty, ecocentric phronesis, social cognitive theory, practical wisdom in limited-information contexts, Whole Trait Theory, skill models, the reciprocity of virtue, aTrade Review"Practical wisdom is central to the virtue ethical tradition, but has been neglected in the debates over the psychology of ethical virtue and educational methods of fostering it. This volume should transform those debates by turning their attention away from behavioural outcomes and towards sound practical reasoning and judgment." – Jonathan Webber, Cardiff University, UK"De Caro and Vaccarezza have put together a nice collection of interesting essays, each of which adroitly integrates perspectives from both psychology and philosophy on a variety of topics integral to the study of practical wisdom.

Book SynopsisBehavior Analysis with Machine Learning Using R introduces machine learning and deep learning concepts and algorithms applied to a diverse set of behavior analysis problems. It focuses on the practical aspects of solving such problems based on data collected from sensors or stored in electronic records. The included examples demonstrate how to perform common data analysis tasks such as: data exploration, visualization, preprocessing, data representation, model training and evaluation. All of this, using the R programming language and real-life behavioral data. Even though the examples focus on behavior analysis tasks, the covered underlying concepts and methods can be applied in any other domain. No prior knowledge in machine learning is assumed. Basic experience with R and basic knowledge in statistics and high school level mathematics are beneficial.Features: Build supervised machine learning models to predict indoor locations based on WiFTrade Review"The book presents a significant multifold contribution to the modern state of art of artificial intelligence: it combines methods of machine learning and deep learning neural networks, automatic data reading and processing from sensors of various kind, and the R tools permitting to perform all the needed estimations. Clear exposition of numerous methods makes the book valuable for undergraduate and graduate students who want to learn the fundamentals of machine learning and deep learning, and for more experienced researchers who want to apply machine learning to analyze data from different disciplines. And last but not least—the book is illustrated with multiple color comics strips which make reading even more pleasant."– Technometrics "Behavior Analysis with Machine Learning Using R seamlessly integrates (1) an introduction to machine learning, (2) how to build machine learning models with R, and (3) how to apply these models to human behavior. The text is well written, concise, clear, and engaging – one of the best introductions to the topic of machine learning that I have read. The methodology is clearly explained without getting bogged down in the mathematics. At the same time, the code examples clearly demonstrate the underlying mechanics of each approach. The examples are fresh and unique. Anyone interested in machine learning will find the book valuable. For those interested in human behavioral analysis with R, there is no better book currently available."- Robert Kabacoff – Professor, Wesleyan University, United States of America; author of R in Action "In summary, this is an excellent book for those who attempt to use machine learning methods to deal with human behavioral data with R.

Book SynopsisWhat can concerned parents and carers do to ensure their children, of all ages, develop great learning habits which will help them achieve their maximum at school and in life? This is probably one of the most important questions any parent can ask and now John Hattie, one of the most respected and renowned Education researchers in the world draws on his globally famous Visible Learning research to provide some answers. Writing this book with his own son Kyle, himself a respected teacher, the Hatties offer a 10-step plan to nurturing curiosity and intellectual ambition and providing a home environment that encourages and values learning. These simple steps based on the strongest of research evidence and packed full of practical advice can be followed by any parent or carer to support and enhance learning and maximize the potential of their children. Areas covered include: Communicating effectively with teachers Being the first learner' and demTrade Review"John Hattie has devoted his life to helping children learn—and enjoy learning. This book is chock full of great ideas for how parents can help their children become eager and effective learners." Carol Dweck, author of ‘Mindset’ and Lewis & Virginia Eaton Professor of Psychology, Stanford University, US "A provocative new look at how parents can best support their children’s learning underpinned by both in depth research evidence and hands on parenting. From the man who used mass research to show teachers how to get the best out of their teaching and his schoolteacher son, an irresistible combination and a fascinating insight for parents." Wendy Berliner, author of ‘Great Minds and How to Grow Them’ and ‘How to Succeed at School’ "The most precious gift we can give our children is the confidence, capacity and appetite for learning. To not shy away from things that are challenging, changing and complicated is the foundation for a fulfilling and adventurous life. But how best to lay that foundation? In their new book, father and son team John and Kyle Hattie offer sound, practical advice that is based on an irresistible blend of solid scholarship and wise first-hand experience. One of the best parenting books I have ever read." Guy Claxton, author of The Learning Power Approach and The Future of Teaching "As a father of three and an educationalist, I have read many books on family education. When I got John and Kyle Hattie's manuscript to read, something happened that has never happened before: I couldn't stop reading! From my point of view, the book is a treasure trove of helpful hints and vivid examples, full of life experience and scientific foundation. The latter is worth emphasising from my point of view: everything that is presented in the book can be scientifically proven - and that without having a scientific duct. In my opinion, this makes the book stand out in the long line of parenting guides that often spread more myths than truths. In other words, it is a book in which research and practice merge and parents get the help they need to give their children the best possible education."

Taylor & Francis A Psychodynamic Approach to Female Domination in
Book SynopsisThis ground-breaking book explores contemporary forms of BDSM where women dominate in relationships and professions, opening new paths for psychological research in commercial and non-commercial BDSM.Based on a unique combination of qualitative investigation and academic research, it examines how BDSM has often crystalized conflicts in contemporary feminist debates, where sexually dominant women are pictured either as victims or as agents of resistance to the patriarchy. Nathalie Lugand argues that female domination in heterosexual BDSM is above all situated in a continuum structured by the values of care and by the circulation of money. Through a novel psychodynamic approach, Lugand demystifies BDSM relationships where women dominate, considering the impact of social relations of work in the construction of sexual identity and analyzing the difficulties that they cause in the erotic economy. The book affirms that to better understand the pleasure taken in female domination pTrade Review‘Nathalie Lugand skilfully crosses two traditionally separate fields of study – work and sexuality – and transforms our perspective on desire.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Leading Change While Loving People
Book SynopsisFilled with stories of successful social change leadership in diverse contexts, this book demonstrates that the best change agents love the people involved most of all.Many people have experienced change trauma under leaders whose agenda was more important than anythingor anyoneelse, so it is no wonder that change failure rates are often reported as 40% to 70%. There is another way: change leaders who work to solve some of the world's toughest problems realize that working with others is necessary to accomplishing a social change mission. This book shares the insights of those who lead social change in the non-profit sector, and shows how they catalyze the urgency for, connect people toward, and continue momentum for a desired change. Their stories reveal three interconnected dimensions of leading change: people (relationships for change), process (communicating for change), and purpose (the change mission).

Taylor & Francis Ltd Developing Your Compassion Strengths
Book SynopsisThis practical book suggests ways in which healthcare students and practitioners can develop their compassion strengths.Discussing what compassion is and means, it includes a new compassion strength model and a series of exercises the reader can use for reflecting on and developing their practice. A hallmark of healthcare practice is compassion, yet there is a lack of understanding as to what compassion is and how it can be developed in practice. The book begins with the challenge of defining compassion, particularly looking at healthcare contexts and making links between self-care and caring for others. It then presents a new, evidence-based holistic model that brings together key elements of compassion for self and other, along with a scale that readers can measure themselves against. Identifying eight strengths self-care, connection, communication, competency, empathy, interpersonal skills, character, and engagement Durkin provides the theoretical background to each, accomTable of Contents1.Introduction to the book. 2.Understanding compassion. 3.Compassion in healthcare organisations. 4.Compassion strengths. 5.Self-care. 6.Empathy. 7.Compassionate communication. 8.Compassionate character. 9.Connection. 10.Engagement. 11.Interpersonal skills. 12.Competence. 13.The practice and applications of compassion strengths

Taylor & Francis Ltd Sparking Creativity
Book SynopsisBlending popular culture and design theory, framed by a decade of scholarly research, this book highlights how play and humor fuel innovation. Now, more than ever, we are in need of creative solutions to global problems, but creative skills and abilities decline over time without intervention and practice. Sparking Creativity provides empirically supported methods for embracing the often-trivialized domains of play and humor to increase our creativity. It shows that topical examples, such as Seinfeld's humor, the Apples to Apples board game, and the Adventure Time cartoon series, are more closely related to innovation than you might first think. The book is organized into five main parts, each containing short, engaging subsections and informative, playful, and colorful illustrations to demonstrate concepts. Written in a humorous and accessible style, this book is aimed toward creative-minded entrepreneurs, designers, engineers, industry leaders, parents, educators, and students. It encourages a playful approach throughout a design process to produce truly innovative solutions.Trade Review"From Amy Klobachur's use of a comb to eat her salad to the invention of the Squatty Potty, from The Little Mermaid to Ru Paul's Drag Race, from robots that poop ketchup to Green Eggs and Ham, this playful, smart and engaging book by designer Barry Kudrowitz takes us on a twisty path to surprising and unfamiliar places as it helps to explore the nature of human creativity, how we can enhance it, and what ways we can use it to improve the quality of our lives. This is the ideal book to get your juices flowing."Henry Jenkins, Civic Imagination Project, University of Southern California, USA"I once did a cartoon where a dad says to his young kid, ‘Go out at play, Norman. It’s your job.’ It’s a joke based on the idea that work and play are antithetical. Barry Kudrowitz has written a book that shows they mustn’t be if we want the creative solutions our 21st-century workplace demands. He makes a compelling case for work being more like play and vice-versa to maximize the benefits of both."Bob Mankoff, former Cartoon Editor of The New Yorker Magazine, USA"It is not easy to write a serious book about creativity and innovation that is not to be read too seriously. But Kudrowitz does just that through a prolific use of playful design, humor, inspiring quotes and rigorous research. The book is filled with Silly Ideas, Shitty Robots and Poop Ice Cream – both the title of Chapter 10 and also examples of ways in which real innovation can spring forth from ideas, products, and designs that are fun, fanciful, and surprising. Kudrowitz writes, 'Things that seem silly at first may actually be innovative in the future.' And so an academic book that makes you laugh out loud might turn out to be a transformative approach to understanding the origins of and possibilities for creativity in our lives."Steven J. Tepper, Dean, Director and Foundation Professor, Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts, USA"The beauty of humor is that it resolves tensions between opposites, aka as a pleasurable relief. In a world full of societal challenges, characterized by conflicts and polarities, we cannot underestimate the need for humor to spur innovation and creative solutions, connecting the non-obvious. Kudrowitz’s incredibly rich and entertaining book demonstrates how we can design ourselves playfully out of any crisis. Meanwhile, you learn what is so great about very old Dutch cheese and our children’s farms..."Paul Hekkert, Professor of Design, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands"Barry Kudrowitz has conducted years of rigorous, experimental studies on fostering creativity in designers, and he makes those results come alive in a playful, engaging way in Sparking Creativity. This book is a must for anyone who wants to unlock their own creativity, or teach others how to be more creative, using research-backed, yet accessible strategies. Barry will make you seriously creative!"Maria Yang, Associate Dean of Engineering, MIT, USA"This book provides great suggestions for using playful and humor-related experiences to enhance creative thinking and promote innovative actions.

Factor analysis in the form of principal components analysis (PCA) or principal factor analysis (PFA) is familiar to most social scientists.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Inspiration for the Weary Therapist
Book SynopsisInspiration for the Weary Therapist is a companion for the modern practitioner. Addressing a diverse audience and written by a master clinician and supervisor, Inspiration for the Weary Therapist helps modern therapists traverse the complicated landscape of practicing therapy in the age of COVID-19.Instead of a heavy, theoretical approach that can leave the already exhausted therapist feeling more overwhelmed, Inspiration for the Weary Therapist guides readers through challenging professional situations, soothes them during upsetting clinical moments, and encourages them to keep going during changing times. Rather than teaching mental health professionals how to practice, this book helps them believe in themselves again and reconnect with their confidence as clinicians through increased self-compassion and personal growth.This practical and helpful guide is essential reading for all mental health practitioners who are searching for inspiration anTrade Review"David Klow has offered us a supportive and generous book from the trenches. Although he too is wrestling with the role of the therapist during this time of massive global upheaval, he has found a way to convey to us a deep well of both empathy and leadership. This is no small feat! He writes simply (because he knows we are weary), but he writes thoughtfully (because he knows we cannot indulge simplistic formulations at a time like this). This is a book every clinician needs to have on their shelf."Alexandra H. Solomon, PhD, adjunct faculty at the School of Education and Social Policy at Northwestern University, licensed clinical psychologist at the The Family Institute at Northwestern University, and host of the "Reimagining Love" podcast"Inspiration for the Weary Therapist is a delight to read! It richly delivers on Klow’s promise to fill the gaps in a therapist’s formal training, combat burnout, and offer practical suggestions from his many years of clinical work and supervision. Transcending models of therapy, the book covers the important topics of boundary setting, self-care, offering advice, and many more that bedevil practitioners. Therapists of all experience levels will find pearls of wisdom and telling clinical examples in these pages."Arthur Nielsen, MD, clinical associate professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University and author of A Roadmap for Couple Therapy and Integrative Couple Therapy in Action"Inspiration for the Weary Therapist is just that and more. David Klow, a superb therapist and supervisor, offers precisely the sort of book that early career therapists and students in the mental health fields need. Sagaciously, Klow’s overarching theme lies in helping readers to find and retain their own therapeutic voice, even in these trying times. Yet, this book also brilliantly offers an almost endless repository of therapeutic tools as well as practical guidance about the pragmatics of working as a therapist. Filled with clinical wisdom and well-chosen vignettes, this is clearly a book every therapist can learn from and should be required reading for every beginning therapist."

Taylor & Francis Ltd Child as Method
Book SynopsisIn this vital volume, Erica Burman presents a synthesis of her work developed over the past decade. Building from her path-breaking critiques of developmental psychology to the strategy of plural developments, her more recent work elaborates a new approach, generated from postcolonial, feminist intersectionality and migration studies: Child as method.This text amplifies the Child as method's success as a distinct way of exploring the alignments of current new materialist' or posthumanist approaches with supposedly older' materialist analyses, including Marxist theory, feminist theory, anticolonial approaches and psychoanalytic perspectives. It assumes that childhood is a material practice, both undertaken by children themselves and by those who live and work with them, as well as by those who define politics, policies and popular culture about children. Key chapters interrogate historical legacies arising from the Eurocentric origins of what are now globalised models of moder
