Taylor & Francis Ltd Being and Nothingness
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Sarah Richmond has now produced a meticulous, elegant translation…" - Jonathan Rée, London Review of Books"Sarah Richmond’s superb new translation…is supplemented by a wealth of explanatory and analytical material [and] a particularly detailed and insightful set of notes on the translation…The first translation of Being and Nothingness was a major academic achievement that has influenced thought across a range of disciplines for more than sixty years. This new edition has the potential to be at least as influential over the coming decades." - Jonathan Webber, Mind"The publication of this excellent new English translation of L’Être et le néant is a welcome addition to the library of Sartre scholarship … There is every chance that it will also attract non-specialist readers to Sartre’s early philosophy and will thus importantly contribute to keeping existentialist thought alive in a context and era chronically bereft of genuine philosophical enlightenment." - Sam Coombes, French Studies"Translating such a book is manifestly a labour of love—it was as much for Barnes as for Richmond, and generations of Anglophone Sartre scholars remain grateful to Barnes, even if, as I expect (and hope) it will, Richmond's careful, thoughtful, and thought‐provoking translation becomes the standard one for use by students as well as professionals." - Katherine J. Morris, European Journal of Philosophy"Sarah Richmond's marvellously clear and thoughtful new translation brings Sartre's rich, infuriating, endlessly fertile masterpiece to a whole new English-language readership." – Sarah Bakewell, author of At The Existentialist Café"Sartre’s philosophy will always be important. Being and Nothingness is not an easy read but Sarah Richmond makes it accessible in English to the general reader. Her translation is exemplary in its clarity." - Richard Eyre"Sarah Richmond's translation of this ground-zero existentialist text is breathtaking. Having developed a set of brilliant translation principles, laid out carefully in her introductory notes, she has produced a version of Sartre’s magnum opus that—finally!—renders his challenging philosophical prose comprehensible to the curious general reader and his most compelling phenomenological descriptions and analyses luminous and thrilling for those of us who have studied Being and Nothingness for years." - Nancy Bauer, Tufts University, USA"This superb new translation is an extraordinary resource for Sartre scholars, including those who can read the work in French. Not only has Sarah Richmond produced an outstandingly accurate and fluent translation, but her extensive notes, introduction, and editorial comments ensure that the work will be turned to for clarification by all readers of Sartre. All in all, this is a major philosophical moment in Sartre studies." - Christina Howells, University of Oxford, UK"A new translation of Being and Nothingness has been long overdue. Sarah Richmond has done an excellent job of translating and clarifying Sartre’s magnum opus, making its rich content accessible to a wider audience." - Dan Zahavi, University of Copenhagen, Denmark"With its scholarly introduction, up-to-date bibliography and numerous footnotes, Richmond's fluent and precise translation will be an indispensable tool even for scholars able to read Sartre in French." - Andrew Leak, University College London, UK"This fine new translation provides us with as crisp a rendering as possible of Sartre’s complex prose. Richmond’s introduction, and a panoply of informative notes, also invite readers to share with her the intricacies of the task of translation and assist in grasping many of the conceptual vocabularies and nuances of this vital text." - Sonia Kruks, author of Simone de Beauvoir and the Politics of AmbiguityTable of ContentsForeword Richard Moran, Translator’s Introduction Sarah Richmond, Introduction: In Search of Being, Part 1: The Problem of Nothingness, 1.

Taylor & Francis On Habit
Book SynopsisFor Aristotle, excellence is not an act but a habit, and Hume regards habit as âthe great guide of lifeâ. However, for Proust habit is problematic: âif habit is a second nature, it prevents us from knowing our first.âWhat is habit? Do habits turn us into machines or free us to do more creative things? Should religious faith be habitual? Does habit help or hinder the practice of philosophy? Why do Luther, Spinoza, Kant, Kierkegaard and Bergson all criticise habit? If habit is both a blessing and a curse, how can we live well in our habits?In this thought-provoking book Clare Carlisle examines habit from a philosophical standpoint. Beginning with a lucid appraisal of habitâs philosophical history she suggests that both receptivity and resistance to change are basic principles of habit-formation. Carlisle shows how the philosophy of habit not only anticipates the discoveries of recent neuroscience but illuminates their ethical significance. She asks whether habit is a relTrade Review"Clare Carlisle's On Habit is a rich and stimulating book on a topic that, despite having long been a key feature of western thinking, has drifted from the forefront of philosophical debate. This text serves as a timely reminder of the remarkably broad range of philosophical issues that reflection on habit covers. … Carlisle does an impressive job of presenting a wide range of broad philosophical issues, including very difficult epistemological and ontological problems, in a way that will be stimulating for both specialists and non-specialists alike." - Jeremy William Dunham, British Journal for the History of PhilosophyA CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title, 2014"Carlisle offers a smart, well-written introduction to habit and the role it plays in people's lives. She provides a broad, far-reaching analysis of the role that habit has played in major philosophical works, ranging from ancient Greece to the present; this analysis is both rigorous and accessible to nonacademic readers. … Carlisle's treatment of the relationship of habit to the topics of freedom of the will and morality is impressive. … She is careful to address concerns about the prima facie incompatibility of free will and habit throughout the book but never gets bogged down in the complicated, highly divisive nature of the free will problem. Summing Up: Highly recommended." - William Simkulet, CHOICE"Remarkably rich in reference, erudite but never ponderous, this finely crafted study brings out the philosophical importance of a hitherto often neglected topic. Elegantly and accessibly written, it has much to offer specialists and general readers alike." - John Cottingham, Heythrop College London and University of Reading, UK"Immensely readable, and offering a myriad of helpful analogies and applications, On Habit is a guide to reflection on some of the defining puzzles of being human, bringing us face to face with fundamental issues relating to identity, morality, and religion. This is not the kind of popular philosophy that does our thinking for us and provides us with ready-made answers, but an invitation to serious thinking about who we really are." - George Pattison, University of Glasgow, UKTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd SelfInsight
Book SynopsisPeople base thousands of choices across a lifetime on the views they hold of their skill and moral character, yet a growing body of research in psychology shows that such self-views are often misguided or misinformed. Anyone who has dealt with others in the classroom, in the workplace, in the medical office, or on the therapist's couch has probably experienced people whose opinions of themselves depart from the objectively possible. This book outlines some of the common errors that people make when they evaluate themselves. It also describes the many psychological barriers - some that people build by their own hand - that prevent individuals from achieving self-insight about their ability and character. The first section of the book focuses on mistaken views of competence, and explores why people often remain blissfully unaware of their incompetence and personality flaws. The second section focuses on faulty views of character, and explores why people tend to perceive Trade Review"This is a superbly written volume illuminating a fundamentally significant human shortcoming, a curious inability to "know oneself" or gain true insights into the inner workings of one's mind. Provocative, entertaining and compelling, this work represents experimental social psychology at its finest. Arie W. Kruglanski, University of Maryland.""People are often their own worst enemies. Nothing stands in the way of achieving our goals as much as our lack of insight into our own flaws, weaknesses, and shortcomings. This book is a must-read for people who aspire to achieve the self-knowledge that is essential to accomplishing their most cherished goals, or want to understand why others seem so blinded to their shortcomings.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Psychology of Pierre Janet Routledge Revivals
Book SynopsisPierre Janet (1859 1947) is considered to be one of the founders of psychology, and pioneered in the disciplines of psychology, philosophy and psychotherapy.

Harvard University Press Acts of Meaning
Book SynopsisBruner argues that the cognitive revolution, with its fixation on a computational model of mind, has led psychology away from the deeper objective of understanding mind as a creator of meanings. Only by breaking out of the limitations of this model can we grasp the interaction through which mind both constitutes and is constituted by culture.Trade ReviewThe failure of the cognitive revolution to unravel the mysteries of the workings of the human mind as the creator of meanings is the starting point for Jerome Bruner’s Acts of Meaning. He argues that psychology should return to human concerns, especially the role of culture in shaping our thoughts and the language we use to express them… [He] seems to have read and assimilated everyone else’s ideas on the topics he discusses. He can—and does—allude to them in context, so that we are constantly rubbing elbows with the giants on whose shoulders he stands. Erudite and recondite, the text glistens with Bruner’s bold style. -- Dava Sobel * New York Times Book Review *Bruner again demonstrates his impressive range of interest as he proposes nothing less than to set the essential agenda for psychology today… Bruner aims his manifesto not at the behaviorists—he considers that struggle long since won—but at those members of his own cognitive party who have sold their souls to the computer… [He] describes how psychology can rededicate itself to the study of meaning and its formation. Having spent an illustrious career ascending the mountain, he now takes an elder statesman’s panoramic view… Those interested in the current debates in psychology will find [this] book provocative and stimulating. -- Paul Buttenwieser * Washington Times *An engaging, provocative, and knowing book. -- William Kessen * Contemporary Psychology *Acts of Meaning, written by one of the most distinguished thinkers in human development, is an insightful summary of the past trends in the field, and is, perhaps, a prophetic glimpse into the future. Bruner’s breadth of knowledge makes for thought-provoking and enjoyable reading for anyone interested in human culture. * Harvard Educational Review *[An] extended, contemplative essay on the role played by narrative in the construal of meaning. In [this] work, Bruner elaborates on the failure of cognitive science in abandoning ‘meaning-making’ for ‘information processing,’ and its attendant concentration on computational logic… Bruner, as one of the most influential psychologists of this century, makes an important statement well worth reading. * Choice *Table of ContentsPreface Acknowledgments One The Proper Study of Man Two Folk Psychology as an Instrument of Culture Three Entry into Meaning Four Autobiography and Self Notes Subject Index Name Index

Taylor & Francis Ltd (Sales) Therapeutic Culture Triumph and Defeat
Book SynopsisFor nearly half a century, social scientists have made claims that there is a therapeutic ethos with extensive influence upon numerous aspects of American society. In Therapeutic Culture, twelve authors address the implications of this ethos and its effects on a wide range of social institutions, extending from the family to schools, and operating in religious behavior and within the legal system. Has there been, as the sociological theorist Philip Rieff argued in 1966, a triumph of the therapeutic? If so, in what kinds of institutions has it been most pervasive? At the same time, what aspects of modern culture has it replaced or defeated? Therapeutic Culture addresses these questions, and raises others. Part 1 of this volume examines the emergence of the idea of authenticity as it defines the manipulation of emotions and behavior both in the United States and Great Britain. Contributors include Elisabeth Lasch-Quinn, Frank Furedi, Jonathan B. Imber, and Alan Woolfolk. Part 2 illustrates specific cases of the effects of therapeutic culture within institutions, including courts, schools, religious communities, and the virtual community of the Internet. Contributors include James L. Nolan, Jr., John Steadman Rice, Felicia Wu Song, and James Tucker. Part 3 extends the analyses of specific social institutions to the broader consequences that have resulted as a therapeutic ethos has taken root in contemporary life. Contributors include Digby Anderson, Ellen Herman, and James Davison Hunter. Part 4 is devoted to a previously unpublished essay by Philip Rieff whose significant influence can be seen in many of the contributions. Rieff revisits the highly controversial confirmation hearings of Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas in 1991 and offers ample evidence of the therapeutic uses of politics as well as the political manipulations available within a therapeutic culture to provide a fitting conclusion. This volume establishes a benchmark for further theoretical reflection and empirical research on the nature of therapeutic culture. It will be of interest to sociologists, psychologists, political scientists, and cultural studies specialists.Table of ContentsIntroduction: One Culture, After All, Part 1: The Emerging Therapeutic Culture, Part 2: The Therapeutic March through Institutions, Part 3: Therapeutic Culture in Contemporary Life, Name Index

Taylor & Francis IDM Supervision
Book SynopsisThe third edition of this book is an updated and expanded presentation of the widely used Integrative Developmental Model of Supervision. In contrast to other volumes on clinical supervision, Stoltenberg and McNeill present a comprehensive, time-tested, and empirically investigated model of supervision, rather than a broad summary of other existing or historical approaches. In addition to presenting a model of therapist development that spans beginning through advanced training, the book integrates theory and research from numerous perspectives, including learning, cognition, and emotion, as well as an up-to-date treatment of research directly addressing the supervision process. The model also examines the role of clinical supervision from an evidence-based practice perspective and addresses issues of common factors in therapy. The impact of cultural issues in supervision and training, as well as recent work in a competencies approach to supervision and trainee development, are also examined.Trade ReviewThis is a classic book, now in its third edition, but the authors have taken great care to keep the material up-to-date and present very contemporary concerns and issues with supervision. I highly recommend that all supervisors and therapists have this on their bookshelves. Nadya A. Fouad, PhD, University Distinguished Professor, Department of Educational Psychology, The University of Wisconsin - MilwaukeeIn this superbly written third edition, the authors have significantly enriched their unique and invaluable developmental approach to supervision. They do a masterful job in providing a lucid description of their integrative developmental model of supervision and its rich theoretical grounding. Nadine J. Kaslow, PhD, ABPP, Professor and Chief Psychologist, Emory Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Grady Health SystemThe authors provide a practical yet scholarly approach to clinical supervision that recognizes the core of the process, as well as the variations introduced by the level of the practitioner's experience from neophyte, to advancec therapist.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Behavioural Economics and the Environment
Book SynopsisHumans have long neglected to fully consider the impact of their behaviour on the environment. From excessive consumption of fossil fuels and natural resources to pollution, waste disposal, and, in more recent years, climate change, most people and institutions lack a clear understanding of the environmental consequences of their actions. The new field of behavioural environmental economics seeks to address this by applying the framework of behavioural economics to environmental issues, thereby rationalizing unexplained puzzles and providing a more realistic account of individual behaviour.This book provides a complete and rigorous overview of environmental topics that may be addressed and, in many instances, better understood by integrating a behavioural approach.

Taylor & Francis Conversations on Empathy
Book SynopsisIn the aftermath of a global pandemic, amidst new and ongoing wars, genocide, inequality, and staggering ecological collapse, some in the public and political arena have argued that we are in desperate need of greater empathy be this with our neighbours, refugees, war victims, the vulnerable or disappearing animal and plant species. This interdisciplinary volume asks the crucial questions: How does a better understanding of empathy contribute, if at all, to our understanding of others? How is it implicated in the ways we perceive, understand and constitute others as subjects? Conversations on Empathy examines how empathy might be enacted and experienced either as a way to highlight forms of otherness or, instead, to overcome what might otherwise appear to be irreducible differences. It explores the ways in which empathy enables us to understand, imagine and create sameness and otherness in our everyday intersubjective encounters focusing on a varied range of radical others

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Rational Practitioner
Book SynopsisSport and exercise psychology has grown exponentially as an academic discipline and profession in the past decade. The dominant approach to sport and exercise psychology practice is the cognitive-behavioural approach that stems from cognitive behavioural therapies (CBTs). CBTs are the most widely used counselling approaches in the world. Through this approach developed rational emotive behaviour therapy (REBT), a cognitive-based theory and therapy that incorporates many of the techniques that defines CBTs to this day (e.g., cognitive restructuring, rehearsal, imagery, self-talk).The Rational Practitioner: The Sport and Performance Psychologist's Guide to Practicing Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy develops innovative concepts that are particular to the performance milieu, whilst sticking rigorously to core theory. This book is fundamental to applied practice and offers practitioners, scholars, and researchers of sport psychology and REBT, theoretical and detailed praTrade Review"In this book Martin goes deep into REBT and excavates key elements that can be applied in sport and performance environments. As well as offering important theoretical clarifications, there is also a wealth of practitioner tools and techniques in the book. As a sport psychologist who utilises an REBT approach in my own practice, I’m always looking for resources to aid my consultancy practice. Martin’s book is a keen addition to my library and one that will continue to guide my use of this important and powerful approach to behaviour change."Dan Abrahams, Sport Psychologist"The book provides a forensic and comprehensive examination of the key theory, frameworks and technical components central to the REBT approach, and an effective guide for those who wish to contribute to the growing application of REBT in sport and performance settings. In my professional lead role as an educator and trainer of Sport and Exercise Psychologists, the book represents an extremely valuable resource for those applied practitioners wishing to develop the knowledge and skills required to effectively use REBT in their service delivery with clients." Dr. Martin Eubank , LJMU Professional Doctorate Programme Director and BPS Qualification Lead in Sport and Exercise Psychology"Learning to become a sport psychologist is like picking up shards of a smashed antique jug. As you discuss and grow with others in the field, you slowly piece it together to develop your practice. Learning REBT fully is like being the person who has the vase and uses it to pour out the wine of rational truth for your clients. Dr. Turner’s book is of immense value for his robust depth of knowledge on REBT. I would prefer for it to have existed when I began my career providing sport psychology to Olympians and Paralympians. Every day we accept reality and are undisturbed by it. Frequently though, things occur and we become disturbed. In sport we face failure, injury, setbacks, sometimes even death, amidst the harsh existence of life. It is within those most difficult of cases where the most robust and accessible approaches will prevail, and REBT serves these challenges well. In a field that promotes positivity and happiness as the end goal, REBT cuts through the nonsense to leave humans in control of their reality." Hugh J. Gilmore, Sport Psychologist with British Weightlifting and British Athletics, Podium Psychology "Martin Turner has achieved something special with this book. By combining his sophisticated understanding of REBT and the unique demands coming from the world of sports, he offers great insight and practical solutions that unlock optimal performance. Sport is a microcosm of life. We learn so much from participating in the game. Dr. Turner's ‘Rational Practitioner’ book helps all of us discover philosophies and applied answers that can help us navigate the complexities of life in addition to sport."Dr. Scott Goldman, Clinical and Sport Psychologist who has been embedded with multiple NFL, NBA, MLB, and NCAA teams"Sport culture has for too long propagated a host of incredibly unhelpful attitudes and perspectives around what it means to be an athlete and the inherent value of winning. So few coaches and others in supporting roles are conscious of the perspectives or beliefs that could be dramatically holding back their athletes. REBT is a powerful concept to bring into performance sport because it provides a solid foundational mindset, more closely aligned to the reality of any situation, from which athletes can build on and achieve their potential. Elite sport is crying out for a healthier approach; one that does not break down or burnout its participants so consistently. A more widespread understanding of the theory and practice of REBT would be a vital part of that healthier approach."Laurence Cassøe Halsted, Director of Mentoring, The True Athlete Project"As applied sport psychologists working within high performance environments, we are charged with deciding which approaches and frameworks we learn and utilise with clients. In ‘The Rational Practitioner’, Martin offers a comprehensive account of the REBT approach, and the GABCDE framework found within it, to working in performance settings. Martin links REBT with ideas and techniques common to sport psychology, helping REBT to be seen as a broad approach to working with clients, rather than a niche psychotherapy only for clinical usage. Alongside much theoretical detail, Martin offers many practical ideas and concepts for practitioners to use in their work, making the book useful for applied psychologists working in the real world."Rebecca Levett, Sport and Exercise Psychologist, Sporting Success"The comprehensive nature of the book, combining the theoretical and philosophical tenets of REBT, ensures that this volume will be a cornerstone of REBT literature."Stuart Carrington, idrottsforum.orgTable of ContentsIntroduction1 Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy2 The GABCDE framework 3 The interdependent GABC(DE) framework 4 The practitioner and the client 5 Consequences (C) 6 Adversity or activating event (A) 7 A–C connection vs. B–C connection 8 Goals (G) 9 The nature of beliefs (B) 10 The rational and irrational beliefs (B) 11 Assessing beliefs (B) 12 Disputation (D) 13 Effective new beliefs (E) 14 Closing remarks Afterword

Taylor & Francis Ltd Coaching
Book SynopsisNow in its fourth edition, the bestselling, seminal book by James Flaherty, Coaching: Evoking Excellence in Others, is an insightful, thought-provoking, pragmatic guide that dissects the art and science of coaching. This fourth edition includes two brand new chapters: the first is on finding one's inner guidance and purpose in traversing the world of work, especially in more uncertain working environments; and the second is on the topic of somatic intelligence. As in earlier editions, this foundational book in coaching clearly presents the theories, concepts, and models, and then moves on to consider rigorous methods of practice and self-observation in a relationship of mutual trust, respect, and freedom of expression. It will probe you to rethink how you relate to your clients and your staff, how you produce long-term excellent performance in yourself, and how you can become more effective in helping others to achieve their goals.Coaching, Trade Review"James Flaherty’s Coaching has been for some years a foundational text for the field. This fourth edition updates the material and adds two vital new chapters, Somatic Intelligence and Midlife Drift. I continue to be impressed with James’s clarity, thoroughness, compassion, wisdom, and his generous referencing of a wide variety of useful sources. For those who have read Coaching, this is a useful update; for those who have not—whether you are a new or an experienced coach or interested in exploring coaching—this book will not only open your eyes; it will provide insights and practices to set you on a new course."Norman Fischer, poet, Zen priest, author of Museum of Capitalism and When You Greet Me I Bow: Notes and Reflections From A Life in Zen"James Flaherty’s book Coaching: Evoking Excellence in Others has established itself as an indispensable classic in the field. In this fourth edition, new chapters on somatic approaches to coaching and on 'midlife drift' add crucial pieces to an already excellent guide to coaching the whole person. Highly recommended." Russ Hudson, author of The Enneagram: Nine Gateways to Presence and co-author of The Wisdom of the Enneagram"James Flaherty has written a thoughtful and deeply insightful guide for coaches—equal parts theory and practical instruction with valuable distinctions in how to apply these learnings to ourselves and our coaching practice."Laila Tarraf, Chief People Officer, Allbirds and author of Strong Like Water"Coaching is a must-read for coaches, HR professionals, and managers! It has been a core foundation of my own coaching work for two decades. This edition offers exciting new reflections and practices for building somatic intelligence and navigating mid-life, enriching the coach’s toolbox significantly."Amy Jen Su, executive coach and author of The Leader You Want to Be: Five Essential Principles for Bringing Out Your Best Self; Co-Founder & Managing Partner, Paravis Partners"James Flaherty’s sage teaching clearly comes from one who has journeyed his somatic interior thoroughly enough to know just the right ways to gently invite us to trust our own."Susan Olesek, Founder, Enneagram Prison Project and The Human Potentialists"In a practical and engaging way, James Flaherty skillfully synthesizes many disciplines into an approachable and effective system for human transformation at an individual and collective level. In this new edition, James expands the coaching perspective to the world of somatic intelligence and that of life transitions, particularly mid-life, offering powerful reflections and practices to deepen one's awareness and connection to meaning. A gem to help anyone get closer to realising their potential."Luzette Jaimes, Director of Learning and Development, Ashoka and Co-Founder of the Consciousness CoalitionPraise for Earlier Editions of Coaching:"In Coaching: Evoking Excellence in Others, James Flaherty brilliantly dissects both the art and science of coaching—one of the more difficult and least understood roles in organizations. Beginning with theories, concepts, and models, he shows their application to practice and empowers any aspiring coach to be more effective in helping people achieve their goals. A better book on this subject just doesn’t exist."Jerry I. Porras, Lane Professor of Organizational Behavior and Change Emeritus, Graduate School of Business, Stanford University and Co-Author, Built to Last"As the field of coaching finds its way to becoming a mature discipline, James Flaherty's dedicated field research, study, and sound articulation offers a definitive ground and a sensibility of genuine care. At the core, this book offers a way of thinking about human beings that makes action and practice central to learning. This is a no-nonsense, generous, pragmatic book that belongs on the shelf of every coach, novice or veteran."Richard Strozzi-Heckler, Ph.D., Founder of Somatic Coaching and author of The Anatomy of Change and Holding the Center"At long last, a book on coaching that moves beyond 'advice from the sidelines.' James Flaherty convincingly shows that the only way to truly help people grow is to help them in developing new practices and new language, and that the only way to coach effectively is to enter into a reciprocal relationship where 'coach' and 'coachee' engage in a dance of mutual influence and growth."Peter M. Senge, MIT and Society for Organizational Learning"This extraordinary book clearly represents James Flaherty's ability to insightfully enable the self-generating and self-correcting capacities of his clients. His clarity and candor engage the reader to more deeply examine the opportunities to live a more integrated and holistic life."Michele Goins, Vice President and Chief Information Officer, Imaging and Printing Group, Hewlett-Packard Company"James Flaherty focuses on the commonly overlooked fact that a coachee is a 'human-being.' He effectively emphasizes that this is the most important aspect that a coach should always have in mind, something that many of us tend to forget. It was this tact that he applies toward coaching, as well as many other brilliant insights, that helped me make the decision to publish Coaching in Japanese and apply its lessons in my practice."Mamoru Itoh, President, Coach21 Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan"James Flaherty frames deep questions about how humans operate across a series of interconnected domains such as the mind, body, and emotions, which will give both new and experienced coaches pause to reflect. He frames crisp distinctions about the coaching process which will generate new perspectives on the role of the coach. He leaves a trail of deeply researched threads that the reader can explore after reading to deepen their knowledge and understanding. All of this is done in a crisp and quietly elegant dialogue which makes you believe he is present as you are inspired to explore, with profound curiosity, your own beliefs on what we are as human beings and how we should show up as coaches. As you read and digest his coaching metaphors, analogies and questions, there are inexplicable possibilities that crystallize fresh insights that emerge and a renewed commitment to explore oneself and the coaching we strive to master."Craig O'Flaherty, Director, Centre for Coaching, Graduate School of Business, University of Cape Town, South AfricaTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Rare Conditions Diagnostic Challenges and
Book SynopsisThis book highlights those rare, difficult to diagnose or controversial cases in contemporary clinical neuropsychology. The evidence base relevant to this type of work is almost by definition insufficient to guide practice, but most clinicians will encounter such cases at some point in their careers. By documenting the experiences and learning of clinicians who have worked with cases that are out of the ordinary', the book addresses an important gap in the literature.The book discusses 23 challenging and fascinating cases that fall outside what can be considered routine practice. Divided into three sections, the text begins by addressing rare and unusual conditions, defined as either conditions with a low incidence, or cases with an atypical presentation of a condition. It goes on to examine circumstances where an accurate diagnosis and/or coherent case formulation has been difficult to reach. The final section addresses controversial conditions in neuropsychology, incTrade Review"This excellent book is, in equal parts, fascinating and instructive! So much of our neuropsychological knowledge has emerged from the study of rare conditions and this book continues this vital tradition. By developing a deep understanding of a wide range of rare conditions, diagnostic challenges and controversial issues, we also improve our knowledge of how to manage conditions that are more common in clinical practice. I really enjoyed reading this book and thoroughly recommend it!"Jon Evans, Professor of Clinical Neuropsychology, University of Glasgow"This exceptional text is both groundbreaking and instructive. The detailed and clear presentation of rare cases accompanied by assessment findings, treatment protocols, theoretical implications and patient perspectives provides a roadmap for how to approach complex cases. The work of every clinician and researcher working to enhance the lives of individuals with challenging neurological conditions will be positively impacted by reading this volume and applying its concepts."McKay Moore Sohlberg, PhD, University of Oregon"An important text on the complexities of diagnosis in neuropsychology with fascinating case histories by leaders in the field."Ian Robertson, Global Brain Health Institute, Trinity College Dublin"Many of these authors [involved in this book] are experts in their respective fields and work in a variety of settings, from NHS to independent sector to private practice, in traditional neuroscience or neurorehabilitation centres, but also within neurodevelopmental, older adult, mental health, aviation, academic, and medicolegal contexts.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Embodied Social Justice
Book SynopsisEmbodied Social Justice introduces an embodied approach to working with oppression. Grounded in current research, the book integrates key findings from education, psychology, sociology, and somatic studies while addressing critical gaps in how these fields have addressed pervasive patterns of social injustice. At the heart of the book, a series of embodied narratives bring to life everyday experiences of oppression through evocative descriptions of how power implicitly shapes body image, interpersonal space, eye contact, gestures, and the use of touch. This second edition includes two new body stories from research participants living and working in the global South. Supplemental guidelines for practice, updated references, and new community resources have also been added. Designed for social workers, counselors, educators, and other human service professionals working with members of disenfranchised and marginalized communities, Embodied SociTrade Review"Johnson’s scholarship on embodied social justice has been leading the field for over a decade. Their cycle of embodied critical learning has become the cornerstone for social justice education in somatic psychology. The revised edition updates their integrative approach to social justice through compelling personal disclosure combined with case examples and practice models to help practitioners everywhere. This second edition is so very timely and is an essential read for somatic practitioners and mental health professionals alike." Chris Walling, Former President, United States Association of Body Psychotherapy"Ground-breaking and indispensable for critical and feminist theory, this book provides important new ways of thinking about how bodies are shaped, influenced, and colonized within unequal societies. In a time of growing social inequality, the author offers real insights into how we might resist the social, political, and cultural changes that are lived through our bodies." Sherry Shapiro, Professor Emerita of Dance Education, Meredith College, USA "Oppression spares no body. The injustices we craft our lives within are both systemic and intimate, taking root in the flesh. Rather than pit the political against the body, Embodied Social Justice reveals their interpenetration, opening up mindful awareness of the life of the political within our very tissues and movements." Mary Watkins, Professor Emerita of Community, Liberation, Indigenous and Ecopsychologies, Pacifica Graduate Institute, USA"A much needed, well-written, and profoundly useful book that will help change the course of somatics and social justice work. Through research and first-hand stories, the author shows us the effects of oppression on all bodies, then follows up with practical, powerful, and progressive practices that can bring us back home to ourselves."

Taylor & Francis Ltd An Introduction to Psychometrics and
Book SynopsisAn Introduction to Psychometrics and Psychological Assessment is the successor to Cooperâs prize-winning book Psychological Testing: Theory and Practice. This expanded and updated volume shows how psychological questionnaires and tests can be chosen, administered, scored, interpreted and developed. In providing students, researchers, test users, test developers and practitioners in the social sciences, education and health with an evaluative guide to choosing, using, interpreting and developing tests, it provides readers a thorough grasp of the principles (and limitations) of testing, together with the necessary methodological detail.This book has three distinctive features. First, it stresses the basic logic of psychological assessment without getting bogged down with mathematics; the spreadsheet simulations and utilities which are integrated into the text allow users to explore how numbers behave, rather than reading equations. Readers will learn by doing. Second, it covers both the theory behind psychological assessment and the practicalities of locating, designing and using tests and interpreting their scores. Finally, it is evaluative. Rather than just describing concepts such as test reliability or adaptive testing, it stresses the underlying principles, merits and drawbacks of each approach to assessment, and methods of developing and evaluating questionnaires and tests. Unusually for an introductory text, it includes coverage of several cutting-edge techniques, and this new edition expands the discussion on measurement invariance, methods of detecting/quantifying bias and hierarchical factor models, and features added sections on: Best practices for translation of tests into other languages and problems of cultural bias Automatic item generation The advantages, drawbacks and practicalities of internet-based testing Generalizability theory Network analysis Dangerous assumptions made when scoring tests The accuracy of tests used for assessing individuals The two-way relationship between psychometrics and psychological theory Aimed at non-mathematicians, this friendly and engaging text will help you to understand the fundamental principles of psychometrics that underpin the measurement of any human characteristic using any psychological test. Written by a leading figure in the field and accompanied by additional resources, including a set of spreadsheets which use simulated data and other techniques to illustrate important issues, this is an essential introduction for all students of psychology and related disciplines. It assumes very little statistical background and is written for students studying psychological assessment or psychometrics, and for researchers and practitioners who use questionnaires and tests to measure personality, cognitive abilities, educational attainment, mood or motivation. Trade Review'Colin Cooper's book is a masterpiece of lucidity and a must-have for students, researchers, and practitioners alike. Psychological testing can be a challenging topic, given the mathematical underpinnings of the field, and Cooper deftly navigates the territory between technical details and approachable exposition. A valuable and comprehensive resource, fully updated in its second edition, and well-suited as a textbook for university courses in psychological assessment.'Robert F. Krueger, PhD, Distinguished McKnight University Professor, University of Minnesota'Colin Cooper is a leading authority on psychometrics with an uncanny ability to convey high-level technical concepts. To this day, I keep learning from his texts and so I am delighted to welcome the publication of this – substantially updated – second edition. It is the first textbook I recommend to anyone wishing to get acquainted with the science of psychometrics.'K. V. Petrides, Professor of Psychology and Psychometrics (UCL)'Colin Cooper’s book is superb – the work of a true expert in psychometrics. Not only is it comprehensive and rigorous, it tackles often neglected issues (e.g., the role played by factor analysis and the conceptual nature of psychological measurement). It is practical, too, with data sets and exercises provided. Cooper’s wit infuses the pages which makes for an enjoyable read.'Philip J. Corr, Professor of Psychology, School of Health and Psychological Sciences, University of London'Professor Colin Cooper taught students the principles of psychometrics and psychological testing for 30 years. Also, he edited related journals for almost as long. It has resulted in this extremely valuable book which is characterized by unique and quality content, natural flow, substance, and expert knowledge. It will be invaluable to both undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as practitioners who are seeking emphatically not a statistics text.'Małgorzata Fajkowska, Head of the Laboratory of Personality Psychology, Institute of Psychology, Polish Academy of SciencesTable of ContentsPrefaceChapter 1: Introduction to PsychometricsChapter 2: Tests, Scales and TestingChapter 3: The meaning of measurementChapter 4: Administering and scoring Questionnaires and TestsChapter 5: Interpreting ScoresChapter 6: CorrelationsChapter 7: Random errors of measurementChapter 8: Systematic Influences and Generalisability TheoryChapter 9: Test Validity, Bias and InvarianceChapter 10: Introduction to factor analysisChapter 11: Performing and interpreting factor analysesChapter 12: Alternative factor analysis designsChapter 13: Developments in Factor AnalysisChapter 14: Network AnalysisChapter 15: Item response theoryChapter 16: Test and scale constructionChapter 17: Problems with test scoresChapter 18: Psychometrics in contextReferencesIndex

Book SynopsisThis comprehensive, integrated teaching resource provides students with the tools and methodologies they need to effectively negotiate the multiple dynamics that emerge from difference, and to appropriately respond to issues of marginalization and social injustice. Written from an American perspective, the book not only covers the traditional topics of race, gender, ethnicity, and social class, but explores emerging trends around â-ismsâ (racism, sexism). Thoroughly revised and updated, this third edition includes new case studies and expanded coverage of topics such as social justice, microaggressions, and gender identities and expressions. End-of-chapter questions encourage students to engage in difficult conversations, and case studies stimulate studentsâ awareness of real-world issues that emerge from diversity, helping students to develop the broad range of skills they need to mediate or resolve diversity issues as future professionals.

Scott is one the first and few existing resources exploring the topic of workforce diversity from the vantage point of individuals, organizations, communities, and society. The book is well-balanced in its presentation of theories and models for broad understandings of diversity in workplaces and organizations, while also tending to the social, cultural, and relational aspects of diversity that are related to individual and community identities and social injustices. While many other books focused on the issue of diversity in the workforce or workplace tend to focus on the business case for contemporary diversity efforts, this book is distinguished by its centering of relational and social justice—diversity should and must be advanced simply because it is the right thing to do.Joshua C.

I recommend it to leaders, practitioners, students, and educators alike – to anyone who wants to understand where we are, how we got here, and how we move forward." Darren C. ShortHost of Human Resource Development Masterclass podcastArguably the most useful textbook on diversity in the American market. This book focuses on the theoretical and practical frameworks appropriate for organizations and individuals operating from a western perspective. It is also a global resource in the sense that it addresses universally common issues like ethnicity, social class, and "isms." For those seeking to understand the diversity issues and trends in the workplace and what to do about them, this book educates in a way that most books on the subject do not. It re-aligns readers with the goals of social justice and offers the tools necessary for making progress. Torrence E.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Mistakes in Clinical Neuropsychology
Book SynopsisThis innovative book uses a case-based approach to discuss mistakes made in the practice of clinical neuropsychology to form a helpful tool in the training of early career clinicians. By allowing readers space for critical reflection during clinical practice, the book teaches competency in clinical neuropsychology, through the examination of errors as a central part of the learning process.The core of this book is a diverse series of mistakes, each embedded as a patient narrative. Each chapter is based around an example error, typically one that was made, by the authors, as early career clinicians. Early chapters focus on mistakes in neuropsychological assessment, and the diagnostic process. Later chapters focus on errors in rehabilitation and management. Each chapter is framed to reflect the situational context, for example the role of history, what constitutes normal performance, the way that complex tasks rely on foundational skills, or the treatment of patients with dysexTrade Review"Case studies are making a comeback in neuropsychology, especially for teaching. They are memorable and come closer to teaching the skill of neuropsychology than abstract knowledge can. Mistakes are especially memorable, but also shameful and so they are understudied. I salute the courage and wisdom of these thoughtful and skilled authors in modeling for all of us how to learn from our mistakes in assessment and treatment. If, through their example, we can all learn to focus on the lessons of our mistakes, we may be able to improve and accelerateneuropsychological training."Ted Judd, Clinical Neuropsychologist and Cross-Cultural Specialist, Associate Professor Seattle Pacific University"A decidedly human and entertaining account of some of the mistakes we can make while learning and practicing our profession.

Taylor & Francis Experiments in Moral and Political Philosophy
Book SynopsisThis volume presents new research on the use of experimental methodologies in moral and social philosophy. The contributions reflect the growing plurality of methodologies and strategies for implementing experimental work on morality to new domains, problems, and topics.Philosophers are exploring the ways in which empirical approaches can transform our idea of the good, our understanding of the social nature of norms and morality, and our methods of fulfilling ethical goals. The chapters in this volume extend experimental work on morality to previously underexplored areas. The contributions in Part 1 explore the methods and foundations of experimental work in areas such as folk moral judgments, metaethical beliefs, moral explanations, and reflective equilibrium. Part 2 focuses on issues in normative ethics and legal and political philosophy such as virtue ethics, utilitarianism, theories of justice, and criminal responsibility.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Coercive Control and the Criminal Law
Book SynopsisThis book considers how a phenomenon as complex as coercive control can be criminalised. The recognition and ensuing criminalisation of coercive control in the UK and Ireland has been the focus of considerable international attention. It has generated complex questions about the best way to criminalise domestic abuse. This work reviews recent domestic abuse criminal law reform in the UK and Ireland. In particular, it defines coercive control and explains why using traditional criminal law approaches to prosecute it does not work. Laws passed in England and Wales versus Scotland represent two different approaches to translating coercive control into a criminal offence. This volume explains how and why the jurisdictions have taken different approaches and examines the advantages and disadvantages of each. As jurisdictions around the world review what steps need to be taken to improve national criminal justice responses to domestic abuse, the question of what works, and why, at the intTable of ContentsAcknowledgements PrefaceIntroduction: Assessing Coercive Control Law ReformChapter 1: the Architecture and Prevalence of Coercive Control – Seeing What Is ‘Invisible In Plain Sight’Chapter 2: Domestic Assaults and Coercive ControlChapter 3: ‘An Unpleasant, Closed-Off World’ – Domestic Stalking and the Protection from Harassment Act 1997Chapter 4: From Reluctant Sex to Rape – Domestic Sexual Abuse and the Sexual Offences Act 2003Chapter 5: the Serious Crime Act 2015, s 76Chapter 6: the Scottish ApproachChapter 7: ConclusionIndex
