Open University Press Coaching Presence Understanding the Power of the
Book SynopsisProfessional wisdom has suggested that coaching presence is purely about the coach â how they show up in the room, and what they say and do to support clients to reach their goals. But what if it was about the relational dynamics between the coach and client at an unspoken level? In this book, TÃnde ErdÃs demystifies the power of the non-verbal coaching relationship.Put simply, the body does not lie. Using research from 184 videoed coach-client pairs and exploring their spontaneous interactions at a non-verbal level, we deepen our understanding of how clients navigate uncertainties (including in the coaching room) and how coaches can truly partner with clients to facilitate their goal attainment beyond traditional coaching. This book also reveals that a coachâs full-body presence can sometimes hinder learning and prevent progress towards a goal.

Taylor & Francis Inc Animal Psychology Its Nature and Its Problems
Book SynopsisOriginally published in 1948, the author follows the idea that the instincts are the spring and basis of all animal behaviour (with the exception perhaps of play), and therewith the core of the animalâs mind, and that individual experience, gathered by the animal in the course of its life, may influence and reconstruct these instincts, so as to guide, in the form of intelligence and understanding, this behaviour along new (i.e. innate) paths. Thus, instinct and experience become the pillars upon which animal behaviour is built up; instinct, intelligence, and understanding form a triad round which the facts of the psychology of animals may be grouped. As a foundation of all this the author first tries to prove the good right of a real and genuine animal psychology, not hampered by objectivistic and behaviouristic scruples, while in a final chapter, by way of conclusion, he tries to give an image of how the world of the animal is built up.Table of ContentsPreface. 1. The Problem of Animal Psychology 2. The Problem of Animal Instinct 3. The Problem of Animal Learning 4. The Problem of Animal Intelligence 5. The Problem of Animal Understanding 6. The Problem of Animal Ideation 7. The Problem of the Animal’s World. Bibliography. Index.

Duke University Press Phantasmic Radio
Book SynopsisThe alienation of the self, the annihilation of the body, the fracturing, dispersal, and reconstruction of the disembodied voice: the themes of modernism, even of modern consciousness, occur as a matter of course in the phantasmic realm of radio. This book explores the meaning of radio to the modern imagination.Trade Review"Phantasmic Radio is a real pleasure to read, both for its elegant style and its originality."—Michael Hardt, Duke University"Putting a stethoscope to the chest of mass-culture’s first darling medium, Alan Weiss draws radio art out of electomagnetic obscurity and onto the stage of current debates on subjectivity and technology, primitivism and vanguardism, psychology and textuality. Historically rich, astute, and argumentative, Phantasmic Radio charts the theoretical flutters in the land of lost bodies and drifting signals. It attends to the jarring and brilliant broadcast of ideas as they dance across our eardrums."—John Corbett, author of Extended Play

Hackett Publishing Co, Inc Mind
Book SynopsisAn overview and evaluation of modern psychology's theoretical foundations, this work ranges from Descartes to dynamics in its discussion of such topics as introspectionism, psychoanalysis, behaviorism, and the varieties of contemporary cognitive science. These theories are examined and assessed as attempts to construct a conception of the person.Trade ReviewKukla and Walmsley state in their preface that they intend this volume as 'an introduction to the science of psychology for the nonspecialist who isn't afraid to do a little thinking.' This goal is admirably achieved. The authors present viewpoints about the mind held in the various schools of psychological thought. The summary of each major perspective focuses on the central tenets of each model as they relate to the discipline as a whole. . . . [T]he authors' presentation of these sometimes-thorny, often-difficult constructs is clear. . . . This book offers not only a history of the most important contributions of the field but also an understanding of where psychology is at present. The conclusion is simple but profound. After more than a century of exploration, 'the mind is still a mystery.' Summing up: Highly recommended.--D. M. Chirico, CHOICEMind is an engaging, beautifully written and informative little book covering a vast array of theories and movements in psychology over the past 150 years. The authors have a clear idea of what is most important about each development and present even the most technical issues and reasoning in ways that are accessible to a wide audience. From start to finish, one feels one is in the presence of exceptional teachers who have mastered the material and know how to make it come alive for students. The book combines philosophical insights with historical information about past thinkers and developments in a seamless and focused way.--Charles Guignon, University of South FloridaTheory of mind would be a terrible thing for the modern student to miss. This book is an astonishingly well-written introduction to the major developments in the study of mind in a hundred years of scientific psychology. Kukla and Walmsley point out truly remarkable parallels in the developments, victories, and defeats of each major theory of the twentieth century. Key goals, ideas and arguments that were heatedly praised for decades are thought through cleanly and clearly. In the twenty-first century, the challenges are as exciting as ever. Intellectually liberating, thoughtful and judicious, Kukla and Walmsley invite us to join in the hunt for fresh new ideas.--John M. Kennedy, FRSC, Department of Life Sciences, University of Toronto
