CABI Publishing Tourism Consumption and Representation
Book SynopsisThis book addresses the practices of consumption in tourism, a major theme in the sociology of tourism. To date, most tourism analysis has tended to concentrate on the production of tourist space, and assume that tourism consumption simply mirrors the intentions of the producers. By focussing on a number of relevant sub-themes, such as age, gender, religion and sexual orientation, the chapters within this book critically examine such assumptions in terms of the interplay between the production and consumption of tourist spaces, and how patterns of tourism consumption are negotiated on an individual level.Table of ContentsI: Editor's preface, K Meethan, A Anderson, and S Miles 1: Introduction: Narratives of Place and Self, K Meethan 2: Disjunctures in Nationalist Rhetoric at Ireland's Brú na Bóinne Visitor Centre, S L Camp, Stanford University, USA 3: Ruining the Dream?

Cornell University Press Possessed
Book SynopsisIn Possessed, Rebecca R. Falkoff asks how hoardingonce a paradigm of economic rationalitycame to be defined as a mental illness. Hoarding is unique among the disorders included in the American Psychiatric Association's DSM-5, because its diagnosis requires the existence of a material entity: the hoard. Possessed therefore considers the hoard as an aesthetic object produced by clashing perspectives about the meaning or value of objects. The 2000s have seen a surge of cultural interest in hoarding and those whose possessions overwhelm their living spaces. Unlike traditional economic elaborations of hoarding, which focus on stockpiles of bullion or grain, contemporary hoarding results in accumulations of objects that have little or no value or utility. Analyzing themes and structures of hoarding across a range of literary and visual textsincluding works by Nikolai Gogol, Arthur Conan Doyle, Carlo Emilio Gadda, Luigi Malerba, Song Dong and E. L. DoctorowFalkoff traces the fraught materialities of the present to cluttered spaces of modernity: bibliomaniacs' libraries, flea markets, crime scenes, dust-heaps, and digital archives. Possessed shows how the figure of the hoarder has come to personify the economic, epistemological, and ecological conditions of modernity. Thanks to generous funding from New York University and its participation in TOME (Toward an Open Monograph Ecosystem), the ebook editions of this book are available as Open Access (OA) volumes from Cornell Open (cornellpress.cornell.edu/cornell-open) and other Open Access repositories.Trade ReviewFalkoff shows how the collection, or amassing, of objects having little or no usefulness makes its appearance in poetry (e.g., Baudelaire), detective stories, documentary film, and installation art. She reveals the possible meanings of the hoard, as figured in such spaces as flea markets, crime scenes, and libraries. These meanings turn on themes of waste, fetishism, temporality, storytelling, and the question of value. This book's valuable perspective on the issue of hoarding will appeal to those working in cultural studies, history, and modern literature, in addition to students and professionals in psychology. * Choice *Innovative, interdisciplinary, and experimental in spirit, Falkoff triumphs in pushing the boundaries of waste and discard studies, critically transforming the very ways in which we think about—and more significantly think through- hoards/things.Posessed makes an original contribution and poignantly amplifies the epistemological limits of hoarding. * Annali d'Italianistica *Possessed is a masterly and authoritative exposition of the social history and popular culture of hoarding behavior. This is a major scholarly achievement that deals with an important subject subject in a thoughtful and thorough manner. * The British Journal of Psychiatry *Falkoff takes us on a mesmerizing transhistorical ride traversing diverse national cultures and explores the protean nature of hoarding by surveying the entire spectrum of its development from quirky fascination to mental disorder. Possessed is a deeply researched cultural history of hoarding and a masterfully written book that illuminates modern society at large and makes us all rethink our relationship with the material world in which we are immersed * H-Italy, H-Net Reviews *Table of ContentsIntroduction to Hoardiculture 1.

University of Minnesota Press Case Studies for Interpreting the MMPI-A-RF
Book SynopsisA collection of illustrative adolescent case studies to aid clinicians in problem identification, diagnosis, and treatment planning—the only casebook for the MMPI-A-RF The MMPI-A-RF is linked to current models of psychopathology and personality, and features scales relevant for use with adolescents in a variety of clinical, forensic, and school settings. It mirrors the structure of the MMPI-2-RF, resulting in the most up-to-date, empirically based personality assessment for use with adolescents. Written by the authors of the earlier Case Studies for Interpreting the MMPI-A, this book continues the goal of serving as an authentic and illustrative guide for clinicians in understanding and using the MMPI-A-RF. Since the publication of the original Case Studies, much has changed for clinicians who assess and treat adolescents. The interpretive model described in this book demonstrates how the MMPI-A-RF can assist clinicians in assessing youth today by highlighting sixteen cases that broadly represent adolescents evaluated in clinical and forensic practice. In addition, one of the most common uses for the MMPI-A-RF is in the juvenile court setting—a landscape that has also dramatically changed since the publication of the original MMPI-A. Case Studies for Interpreting the MMPI-A-RF focuses on detailed forensic issues, including legal backgrounds, case law, and assessment methods specific to use of the MMPI-A-RF in juvenile court and related settings. Case Studies for Interpreting the MMPI-A-RF will assist clinicians in understanding MMPI-A-RF interpretation, while also being a valuable teaching tool for courses in assessment.Trade Review"This text by Daniel L. Davis and Yossef S. Ben-Porath masterfully illustrates the use of the MMPI-A-RF through presentations of an outstanding selection of evaluations. Clinical cases include abuse victims and an adolescent with medical noncompliance issues. Forensic cases include cogent examples of legal issues such as competency to stand trial and to waive Miranda rights. Cases are well-documented, and interpretation of test results are clearly illustrated. This book is an essential resource for all psychologists who use the MMPI-A-RF."—Robert P. Archer, PhD, ABPP, Eastern Virginia Medical School"Daniel L. Davis and Yossef S. Ben-Porath have crafted an essential resource for users of the MMPI-A-RF. Both newcomers and seasoned users will find much value in studying the wide array of cases as examples of how to expertly interpret the MMPI-A-RF."—Richard W.

Book SynopsisHow can we create a thriving life for us all that doesn’t come at the price of ecological destruction? This book calls to explore our collective and personal convictions about success and good life. It challenges the mainstream worldview, rooted in economics, that equates happiness with pleasure, and encourages greed, materialism, egoism and disconnection. Drawing on science and ancient Greek philosophers the author details how we can cultivate our skills for enjoying life without harming ourselves or others, and can live an autonomous, creative and connected life. Complementary to our intellectual understanding, the experiential method of role play and theatre can powerfully facilitate the exploration of the inner drivers and hindrances of a thriving life.Table of ContentsIntroduction: Is There Anyone Who Does Not Want to Thrive?

Wilfrid Laurier University Press The H Factor of Personality: Why Some People are
Book SynopsisPeople who have high levels of H are sincere and modest; people who have low levels are deceitful and pretentious. The "H" in the H factor stands for "Honesty-Humility", one of the six basic dimensions of the human personality. It isn't intuitively obvious that traits of honesty and humility go hand in hand, and until very recently the H factor hadn't been recognized as a basic dimension of personality. But scientific evidence shows that traits of honesty and humility form a unified group of personality traits, separate from those of the other five groups identified several decades ago. This book, written by the discoverers of the H factor, explores the scientific findings that show the importance of this personality dimension in various aspects of people's lives: their approaches to money, power, and sex; their inclination to commit crimes or obey the law; their attitudes about society, politics, and religion; and their choice of friends and spouse. Finally, the book provides ways of identifying people who are low in the H factor, as well as advice on how to raise one's own level of H. Trade ReviewThe H Factor is a tour de force. Anchored in solid scientific research, it offers fascinating insights into how previously neglected aspects of personality influence people's strategies about power, social hierarchies, money, and sex. And it offers sound practical advice for navigating the social world of some unsavory characters. It's a "must-read." -- David M.

Information Age Publishing SELF – A Multidisciplinary Concept
Book SynopsisResearch on the self relates to various phenomena including self-esteem, self-concept, self-verification, self-awareness, identity, self-efficacy, passion, self-determination, and goals. Moreover, research on self is multidisciplinary and of interest to a broad range of areas, such as education, economics, (social) psychology, neuro sciences, motivation, physical activity and behavior sciences, philosophy, and learning sciences. Chapters in this volume will illustrate some of the best of the research within these disciplines examining different aspects of self from various perspectives. A feature of this volume is that we will explore not only positive aspects of high perceived levels of self-determination and competence or self-concept on achievement, motivation and wellbeing, but also the dark side of an uncertain and negative self on identity and wellbeing. We learn from this that the self is a dynamic and powerful, yet fragile and highly amenable construct that needs self-care and constant reassurance.SELF – A Multidisciplinary Concept thus highlights the broad application of self-research and its diversity. This volume is intended to develop both theoretical and methodological ideas and to present empirical evidence of various disciplines and applications dealing with self. The scope of this seventh volume of the International Advances in Self Research series, started in 2000 by Herbert W. Marsh, Dennis M. McInerney, and Rhonda G. Craven, is thus very broad. Keeping within the tradition of the series, this volume will highlight the applicability of a multitude of empirical approaches and methods to self-research. We also aimed to maintain a balance between discussing theoretical research in SELF and deriving implications for effective practice. This volume thus includes chapters covering self-related topics within an educational, social, emotional, psychological, physiological, managerial, and health context.

Information Age Publishing Making of Distinctions: Towards a Social Science
Book SynopsisThe volume revolves around the theme ‘inclusive oppositions’ in social sciences that address the issue of making of distinctions and create artificial dichotomies and dualistic view of society. It is set against the currents of systematic reduction of anthropodiversity and psychodiversity, which appears as a pathology of the current neo-liberalist and colonialist model of development. The volume is an attempt to overcome the colonial tendencies and forces to ‘standardize’ and ‘homogenize’ various categories and institutions in society by establishing structural relationality and intersectionality between the parts of the whole ecosystem where in the human and non-human intersect and interact. The volume brings together a unique collaboration in the field of Cultural Psychology and offers the intellectual tools to grasp how a syncretic understanding of Identity and Culture unfolds, particularly in the key domain of gender. The chapters and commentaries uncover cultural dynamics and identity formation from a specific location, the region of Kerala in south-western India. The chapters and commentaries in this volume illustrates that Kerala is a cultural micro-cosmos, in which gender, identity, religion, ethnicity, caste, global market and tradition intersect to create complex and multiple subjects that do not fit in binary categorizations. The compiled volume will be of great value to scholars, researchers and academicians in Social Sciences, particularly Cultural Psychology, Social Psychology, Sociology, Social Work, Political Science, Philosophy, Anthropology and Economics

Information Age Publishing Self-Concept, Motivation and Identity:
Book SynopsisThe concept of the Self has a long history that dates back from the ancient Greeks such as Aristotle to more contemporary thinkers such as Wundt, James, Mead, Cooley, Freud, Rogers, and Erikson (Tesser & Felson, 2000). Research on the Self relates to a range of phenomena including self-esteem, self-concept, self-protection, self-verification, self-awareness, identity, self-efficacy, self-determination etc. that could be sharply different or very similar. Despite this long tradition of thinkers and the numerous studies conducted on the Self, this concept is still not very well defined. More precisely, it is not a precise object of study, but rather a collection of loosely related subtopics (Baumesiter, 1998). Also, in the philosophical literature, the legitimacy of the concept of “self” has been brought into question. Some authors have argued that the self is not a psychological entity per se, but rather an illusion created by the complex interplay between cognitive and neurological subsystems (Zahavi, 2005). Although no definitive consensus has been reached regarding the Self, we emphasis in this volume that the Self and its related phenomena including self-concept, motivation, and identity are crucial for understanding consciousness and therefore important to understand human behavior.Self-Concept, Motivation and Identity: Underpinning Success with Research and Practice provides thus a unique insight into self-concept and its relationship to motivation and identity from varied theoretical and empirical perspectives. This volume is intended to develop both theoretical and methodological ideas and to present empirical evidence demonstrating the importance of theory and research to effective practice.

Inter-Varsity Press Finding Your Best Identity: A short Christian
Book SynopsisWho are you? And how can you find who you are? Andrew Bunt has wrestled with these questions. At one point in his childhood, he thought he might be a girl in a boy’s body. As he grew up and discovered he’s same-sex attracted, the world started to tell him that his sexuality is his identity. And for many years, he believed the lie that he was a freak and a weirdo, assuming that’s what everyone thought of him. In this short Christian introduction to identity, Andrew explores and examines different ways we can discover who we are. Blending his personal story with careful Bible teaching and genuine cultural awareness, this is a book to get conversations going and help us all understand our best identity. With questions for discussion and reflection, and an application exercise to end the book, Finding Your Best Identity is a practical and profound introduction to some of the biggest questions we all face.Trade ReviewAndrew has written a book on identity that is concise, clear and practical. Whilst he applies his arguments particularly to matters of sexuality and gender, the principles in the book would be of great value to every person made in the image of God. Andrew provides a strong but easily-understood critique of how our culture constructs identity. He then argues persuasively that a God-given identity frees us from the insecurity and pressure of letting either other people or our own feelings decide who we are . -- Stuart Parker, True Freedom TrustCompassionate and compelling, insightful and instructive, Andrew Bunt’s excellent book sheds light and brings clarity to a subject often distorted by emotion and conflict. Few things are more important than establishing your true identity. I urge you not only to read it but help others by recommending it to them. -- Terry Virgo, founder of NewFrontiers and author of 'God's Treasured Possession'This is a much needed book in a society where there is such overwhelming pressure to look inside ourselves and discover our true identity. It is a book I wish I could have read as a young adult - I wrestled with doubts and questions about who I was until I realised that I am who God says I am and that he rejoices over me with singing! -- Julie Maxwell, community paediatrician and member of General SynodAndrew has written something remarkable and significant. With heartfelt honesty about his own experiences, he lays out a compassionate and clear case for a God-given identity. This is essential reading for anyone working with young people who may be struggling with sexuality or gender issues, but will also be deeply challenging for anyone who wants to better understand their Christian identity. -- Robin Barfield, Associate Minister for Children and Families at Christ Church, Wharton and a visiting/adjunct lecturer at Oak Hill, Union and Cliff CollegeIn Finding Your Best Identity, Andrew Bunt explores the power our core identity—or controlling self-understanding—has over us. He shows how both traditional and modern identities are unstable and ultimately crush us when we fail. Only our God-given relationship with Jesus provides an identity that is not fragile and that allows honesty and vulnerability without shame. It's an identity that cannot be taken away by changing experience, by the opinion of others or even by death itself. While Andrew explores these competing identities in conversation with sexuality and gender, this is a book that will benefit any current or potential follower of Jesus. -- Greg Johnson, pastor of Memorial Presbyterian Church in St. Louis, USA and author of Still Time to Care: What We Can Learn from the Church’s Failed Attempt to Cure HomosexualitySociologically aware, pastorally sensitive, biblically rooted – Andrew Bunt’s work provides a helpful introduction to why questions of identity are crucial to mission and ministry today, especially amongst emerging generations. -- Gareth Crispin, Lecturer in Practical Theology and Programme Lead for BA Mission and Ministry, Cliff CollegeWith radical openness, personal experience, sensitivity and grace, Andrew approaches this mine-field of a topic with one clear aim in mind: to help all people. The clarity here is vivid. The council here is godly. The freedom offered is persuasive. For all who want to be fully known and fully loved, this will point you in the right direction of true identity. -- Tope Koleoso, Lead Pastor, Jubilee Church LondonThere is no more important question in contemporary culture than ‘Who am I?’ Andrew Bunt tackles this head on, by asking the essential, deeper question ‘How would I know?’ He draws movingly on his own experience, and engages both with issues in popular culture and the reality of established research to address the question gently but directly. The result is truly impressive—a persuasive, compassionate and life-giving answer that will help so many. Take and read! -- Ian Paul, Associate Minister, St Nicholas’ Church, Nottingham; Adjunct Professor of New Testament, Fuller Theological Seminary.Our understanding of who we are shapes so much of how we feel and the way we act, especially when it comes to the matters of sexuality and gender. This is a helpful, honest and sympathetic guide for those looking for solid ground to stand on. Highly recommended! -- Sam Allberry, pastor, author of Is God Anti-Gay? and What God Has To Say About Our BodiesAndrew Bunt is quickly becoming one of my favorite writers on sexuality and gender, and this new book did not disappoint! Andrew combines biblical precision with pastoral compassion as he addresses two fundamental questions: who are we? And how do we know? We live in a world where a myriad of voices and influences are trying to tell us who we are. Andrew graciously navigates us through the confusion and offers a theologically compelling case for finding our best identity—one that actually leads to human flourishing. -- Preston Sprinkle, Ph.D., President of The Center for Faith, Sexuality & GenderNothing captures today’s cultural zeitgeist more profoundly than the claim ‘I identify as’. Drawing on his own journey of godly formation of sexual attractions and desire, Andrew skilfully introduces his readers to some of the complex questions of identity and personal meaning. Firmly rooted in Christ, he points us to a deeper and more solid foundation for our sense of self. -- Glynn Harrison MD, retired Consultant Psychiatrist and Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry.With refreshing honesty, Andrew writes as someone who has walked through dark valleys whilst questioning his own identity. His reflections will help anyone facing similar struggles; they are a roadmap to guide us out of shame and confusion, and towards our Creator’s good intention for each one of us. -- Mark Pickering, CEO of the Christian Medical FellowshipAndrew explains clearly the flaws present and the difficulties experienced when a person allows their inner self and/or the ever-changing societal expectations to define who they are. There is, however, hope for the individual. In receiving their identity based on God’s design and purpose, explains Andrew, the believer can acknowledge, address, and even resolve how they are feeling without straying from the solid understanding of who they are. In an increasingly confused world, this short book is a treasure that should be studied and discussed by every church youth group and Sunday school class. -- Jeannette Howard, speaker and author of Dwelling in the Land: Bringing same-sex attraction under the lordship of Christ'Who am I?' is one of the fundamental questions humans ask. Where we look for our answers is one of the most important decisions we can make. In this helpful, hopeful little book, Andrew helps us evaluate the possible options, and gives some practical, biblical advice on how to experience our best identity. -- Jennie Pollock is the author of If Only: Finding joyful contentment in the face of lack and longingIf you are struggling with your identity or know someone who is, this book will help you. Andrew writes with great honesty, clarity and understanding. If you are wrestling in your personal or public life with these realities or issues I think you will read with increasing relief and gratitude. Two scriptures kept coming to mind "In your light, we see light" (Psalm 36:9) and "You will know the truth and the truth will set you free" (John 8:32). -- Keith Sinclair, National Director Church of England Evangelical CouncilFinding Your Best Identity is a warm, thoughtful, and life-affirming approach to some very deep questions. Accessible to all, Andrew us tells his story, and helps us on our journey to discover who we are. Generous, insightful and genuinely helpful, this book will leave you wanting more. -- Ian Galloway, Director of the Free Church Track and Lecturer in Leadership and MissionParents need this book! The topics of identity, gender and sexuality are suddenly everywhere. Andrew reassures us that God is not taken by surprise. His better story is all we need to help our children navigate today's changing cultural landscape. -- Ed Drew, Director of Faith in Kids

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Handbook of Research Methods for Studying
Book SynopsisThis practical yet cutting-edge Handbook includes both established and innovative methods for studying identity in management, organisations, and cognate fields. Incorporating a breadth of narrative, visual, ethnographic and embodied methods, as well as ways for analysing naturally occurring data, this Handbook offers exciting new interdisciplinary perspectives on the study of identity in and around organisations.Notions of identity have gained much momentum in organisation and management studies over the past 20 years, however, identity scholars tend to rely on a limited set of methods in their research. Looking beyond narrow disciplinary boundaries, the Handbook draws on ideas from management studies, anthropology, sociology, psychology, and the arts. With cutting-edge methods on the various facets and dynamics of identity, it is integral reading for the future progress of reflexive and dialogical social constructions for studying identity.This refreshing Handbook will be valuable to scholars and students from a variety of disciplines including business and management, psychology and sociology, but with a common interest in studying identity in and around organisations. With consistent practical methodology, consultants, facilitators and management practitioners, who aim to develop identities among individuals, groups, and organisations will also benefit widely from this.Trade Review‘The editors have brought together experienced and early career researchers from the social sciences, arts and humanities creating an excellent compilation of novel and engaging qualitative methods for studying identity in organisations. Chapters cover a range of methods offering new insights and providing sufficient detail to enable application.’ -- Mark N.K Saunders, University of Birmingham, UK‘This Handbook is highly recommended to all identity researchers. Empirically researching identity has traditionally been a swampy challenge. Readers will be inspired and spoilt for choice of intellectually well-grounded and well-guided distinct, creative and appealing approaches to data generation and analysis that have been drawn from across disciplines and are supported by practical illustrations of the method-in-use. The methods discussed facilitate empirical inquiry while at the same time enabling theory building.’ -- Kate Black, Northumbria University, the UKTable of ContentsContents: Acknowledgements by the editors xiii Prologue: studying identities and identity work xiv 1 Introduction to the Handbook of Research Methods for Studying Identity In and Around Organizations 1 Ingo Winkler, Rosalía Cascón-Pereira and Stefanie Reissner PART I NARRATIVE METHODS 2 Plot and storyline analysis of personal identity narratives 13 Stefanie Reissner 3 Exploring identity interplay through performative textual analysis 26 Isidora Kourti 4 Organizational small storymaking and change: identity work as coming into being in narrative story dynamics 40 Ann Starbæk Bager 5 The qualitative survey as research design in exploring organizational identity 56 Anne Crafford and Johann Mouton PART II VISUAL METHODS 6 Social dream-drawing: a socioanalytic method for studying identity work 71 Antoni Barnard 7 A picture is worth a thousand words: social identity mapping as a way of visualizing and assessing social group connections 87 Sarah V.

Liverpool University Press Expressing the Shape and Colour of Personality:
Book SynopsisThis book contains the distillation of the author's 35 years' experience of using Lowenfeld Mosaics and Lowenfeld practice in the treatment of unhappy and disturbed children, in the investigation of children' acculturation to alien cultures, and in working with the deaf. Through case studies, 80 colour mosaics made by children and adults are used to illuminate Lowenfeld's theories. Mosaics are one of several non-verbal techniques invented by Lowenfeld to enable children to express their thoughts and feelings directly without having to find words. The circumvention of language attracted Mosaics to the notice of social anthropologists, such as Margaret Mead, looking for tools for cross-cultural research. The author gives a detailed account of how to set about using Mosaics in a clinical setting, how to introduce them to a young person, and how to discuss the resultant creation. The wide range of case studies presented includes the use of Mosaics to study the degree of comparative acculturation of samples of 12-year old Chinese children, in mainland China, London, and San Francisco. Therese Woodcock has taught the use of Mosaics to a wide range of professionals who work with children -- child psychotherapists and psychiatrists, paediatric social workers, paediatric occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, play therapists, guardians, specialist nurses, workers with the deaf, among others. "Expressing the Shape and Colour of Personality" offers an opportunity to anyone working professionally with children or young people to benefit from her unrivalled experience.
