The Student Success series are essential guides for students of all levels. From how to think critically and write great essays to planning your dream career, the Student Success series helps you study smarter and get the best from your time at university. Trade ReviewThis much-needed book will be highly valued by very many university students – and indeed by all sorts of other people who have occasion to stand up in public and speak. It is terrific to have such authoritative words of wisdom and experience from a practitioner who has faced and overcome the problems that very many people share about speaking in public. I too remember the intense dread I experienced as a teenager when it was my turn to read out the biblical extract to school assembly for four days! This was probably the most daunting experience of my life, and it took me a great deal of time, practice and patience to become able to walk in happily to do conference keynotes, and to enjoy reactions, and indeed play with the audience. Fear of public speaking is a widely shared phenomenon, yet is relatively rarely addressed properly at university, where students can suffer enormously when the time comes round for them to stand up and be heard. It’s every bit as serious a problem as exam stress, and affects the success of at least as many students. At last, here is the book which comforts, guides, and addresses the fears and emotions which very many people experience with speaking. Rob Grieve shares his passion, enthusiasm and experience on every page. A must for students – and many others. -- Phil RacePublic speaking skills are now a requirement for many programs (and indeed for many careers), but students can feel overwhelmed. This book sets up a focused strategy to overcome fear of public speaking. Following the exercises in each chapter will undoubtedly improve skills and confidence. It is a must read for students - and others - who want to be more effective and authentic speakers. -- Deborah JohnstonThe anxiety caused by public speaking affects many of us in the wider population but for students this can be exacerbated when it impacts on grades and self-esteem. This research informed book offers strategies to overcome these anxieties, enabling full participation in student activities such as seminars, group work, asking questions in lectures and delivering presentations. These strategies will also provide life skills, developing confidence to tackle some of the day to day activities which many of us take for granted. Rob writes this book from an authentic perspective as someone who has experienced a stammer since childhood. He shares the techniques he has developed throughout his academic career which have been seen to reduce angst by participants in his workshops. Working though the study guide will provide the reader with tried and tested approaches which other students have found useful. The key message is that you are not alone; there is support available and this book may be the start of that journey to confidence. The book offers an invaluable insight, for academic and student support staff, into the fear felt by some students of public. It serves as a timely reminder when we seek alternative and creative ways of assessing work in our universities. We all need to "Stand up and be heard" at times, be it buying a car or negotiating a contract, there are useful tips which we can all benefit from within this book. -- Sally BradleyIn eight chapters of tightly structured, deliberately repetitive prose, Grieve urges the potential public speaker to be ′authentic at all costs′... It will encourage you to remember the point of public speaking, which is to inform and entertain, to pass on information; to remember an audience is no more interested in the fluency of a speaker than they are in their accent or dress sense. -- Jon Horne * Stamma *Table of ContentsIntroduction Chapter 1.

Book SynopsisThis introduction to countertransference in counselling and psychotherapy covers: Countertransference and the therapeutic relationship Different theoretical perspectives and approaches to countertransference and key psychodynamic perspectives (Freud, object relations, attachment, relational psychodynamic) and perspectives from other modalities (TA, integrative, CBT). How to understand and work with countertransference in practice (providing step-by-step guidance on identifying, understanding, and managing / processing countertransference.) The development and repair of therapeutic ruptures in the alliance Cultural countertransference. Written for trainees and practitioners from a range of psychotherapeutic approaches, this book is supported by reflective practice activities, research, case studies, chapter summaries and chapter summaries. It will help you enhance your knowledge and practice in relation to countertransference.Trade ReviewAn Introduction to Countertransference contains a wealth of information that will help orient novice trainees to this important topic, as well as guide experienced therapists in their own clinical work, teaching, and supervision. Dr. Cartwright′s wisdom, accumulated from many years of studying and helping others learn about countertransference, is evident in this gem of a book. Dr. Cartwright neatly synthesizes theory, research, and practical applications in a highly digestible fashion. I can′t imagine a therapist who would not benefit from reading this book. -- Professor Jeffrey A. Hayes, Ph.D.This book helps the reader understand key concepts relating to transference and countertransference, providing explanation of terms from Freud’s original perspective through more modern psychodynamic views to perspectives from cognitive-behavioural therapy. This is helpful for those not well versed in psychodynamic or object relations theory. The book takes a stepwise approach from understanding terms, to their relevance for the therapeutic relationship, to a process for understanding and managing countertransference, and includes dealing with ruptures and aspects as challenging as sexual countertransference in therapy. This layering from the simple to the more complex is aided by the use of transactional analysis as a frame to guide practice. There are questions for reflection to help identify countertransference and its origin, i.e., client or self, as well as suggestions for managing it in vignettes and transcripts. Therapists with little background in psychodynamic approaches to therapy will find this a fantastic entry into an important aspect of clinical work. For those more seasoned it will offer perspectives and processes that will complement your work. The supervisor will find the sequences of reflective questions excellent to guide the supervision process when supervisees bring their reactions to clients. This is welcomed in this era of increasingly integrative approaches to therapy where a comprehensive training in these approaches cannot be assumed. Claire’s writing style is refreshingly clear and easy to comprehend, making the reader feel resourced and encouraged. Not only this but Claire takes a compassionate approach toward plight of the clients and their unconscious dynamics and toward the therapists who get caught up in them. -- Fiona HowardDr Cartwright has truly done the psychotherapy profession an invaluable service by writing this book as it provides a theoretical and practical guide for understanding a rich and powerful therapeutic phenomenon in such a way that is accessible to trainee therapists and therapists practicing from a wide range of therapeutic orientations. If you are a trainee therapist, therapist interested in enhancing your knowledge and/or practice around countertransference, or a person with general interest in this area, then I highly recommend you read this book. -- Dr. Kristin ReillyThis book will be of interest to anyone working with clients in a therapeutic or helping capacity, and perhaps in particular to those who are not used to embracing and using their own subjective responses in the work. Clinical psychologist Cartwright first provides a theoretical introduction to the concept of countertransference, from its origins in discussions between Freud and Jung, who viewed it as something of an inconvenience, through to Heimann, who argued it was a tool to be used in service of the client. Cartwright defines countertransference as ′the emotional, cognitive, and bodily reactions of the therapist to the client or the therapy situation and context′. She goes on to explain how these reactions can affect the therapeutic process and the importance of recognising and addressing them, as well as the dangers of not being aware of them, which can lead to ruptures. She introduces a four-step approach to working with countertransference, which although a little manualised, feels practical and grounded in client work. The steps are: becoming aware of countertransference responses, reflecting on the client′s patterns in relating, developing hypotheses about the dynamic between client and therapist, and managing countertransference responses as they arise in sessions. Each step is illustrated with clinical vignettes and exercises, which although useful, occasionally felt a little simplistic. I enjoyed the breadth of this book and the incorporation of different traditions including psychodynamic, CBT, attachment and transactional analysis. Cartwright is also mindful of the social and cultural dimensions to countertransference, for example, when clients and therapists are of different ethnic/racial backgrounds, different sexualities and genders and different socio-economic status. This is an important addition to the existing literature about countertransference responses. -- Emmanuelle Smith, Psychodynamic PsychotherapistTable of ContentsChapter 1 - An Introduction to Countertransference Chapter 2 - Countertransference and the Therapeutic Relationship Chapter 3 - Four Steps to Understanding and Managing Countertransference Chapter 4 - Understanding Countertransference in Practice Chapter 5 - Countertransference and therapeutic ruptures Chapter 6 - Managing Countertransference in Practice Chapter 7 - Classroom and group learning and countertransference References

Book SynopsisOh hey! Thank you for being here. Let me introduce myself. My name is Jen Foster and I am an educator. A few years ago, I started an Instagram account dedicated to teaching. I started by just sharing everything and anything and loving having a community of keen beans like me. But it didn′t take me long to spot something quite odd. Scrolling through thousands of teachers′ experiences around the world there were two things that stood out like a sore thumb: Behaviour was this huge obstacle in teaching;The guidance around behaviour was either inconsistent, vague or unhelpful. So, I decided to learn everything I could about behaviour. I explored outside the education shelves and bought way too many books about neuroscience, positive psychology, business, and parenting. The more I learnt, the more I reflected on my own practice and my own experiences in schools. I asked educators in my community their opinions on behaviour, and this is what I found out: 93% felt that they had inadequate behaviour training as a trainee teacher 88% feel they have inadequate behaviour training as a qualified teacher So, isn′t it about time we shined a spotlight on behaviour? Behaviour: The lost Modules is the book you wish you had read before stepping into a classroom. The book you wish had been required reading on your university reading list. A book that is practical, easy to read and tells you what you need to know about behaviour in primary schools. A book by a teacher for teachers, drawing on common sense, personal experiences and current research. Table of Contents1. What is behaviour? 2. Behaviour and language 3. Behaviour and connection 4.

Book Synopsis"Written in love and fire, African Feminist Praxis is meticulous and visionary." - Dr. Pumla Dineo Gqola, SARChI Chair in African Feminist Imagination, Nelson Mandela University and author of Female Fear FactorySo much of the story of African resistance has been told in the masculine, tracing the history of spectacle: great struggles, great speeches, the grand displays of nation building. This book adds to the literature that reverses this, exploring the flesh and breadth of contemporary African feminist politics as articulated across the African continent. It is structured around the key principles of kinship, courage, pleasure, care and memory, and draws on the African feminist academic canon, the "grey literature" of practitioner knowledge and narratives of feminists activists themselves. Through this it evidences the argument that African feminist praxis is fundamentally a politics of proposition, a mode of liberatory worldmaking.The Social Science for Social Justice series challenges the Ivory Tower of academia, providing a platform for academics, journalists, and activists of color to respond to pressing social issues.

Book SynopsisSlavery is a live issue today, but the people who talk about it as such are not all of a piece. Some insist the world is now plagued by the contemporary equivalent of transatlantic slavery, and call on us to combat "modern slavery". Others hold that the on-going devaluation and destruction of black life continues the logic of transatlantic slavery. They urge us to address the "afterlives" of racial chattel slavery. These two groupings provide different answers to the questions, "what do we know and what should we do about slavery?" This book reviews what is known about the issues at the heart of each perspective, and argues that the concept of "afterlives" is more helpful than that of "modern slavery" to those seeking to challenge injustice, violence, inequality and oppression in the twenty-first century. Trade ReviewIn this scintillating little book, O’Connell Davidson sketches out the relationship between slavery, racism and modernity. In so doing, she picks apart facile solutions to ‘modern slavery’ offered by philanthropists, police departments and NGOs, and instead demands we think more seriously about the structure of global capitalism and the afterlives of transatlantic slavery and colonialism. This brilliant book clarifies the term ‘modern slavery’, clearing some of the ground on our path to freedom. -- Dr Luke De NoronhaWhat Do We Know and What Should We Do About Slavery? brilliantly distills how to interpret the phenomenon of slavery and its relationship to freedom struggles both in past epochs and our current moment. By differentiating between the languages of modern slavery and slavery’s afterlives, Julia O’Connell Davidson underscores the policy stakes for abolitionists rejecting slavery in all its forms and enslaved humans whom, their condition notwithstanding, constantly reaffirm calls for reparatory justice and unapologetically declare that their lives and personhood matter. -- Neil RobertsTable of ContentsChapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: Background Chapter 3: What Do We Know?

Miguel Martínez Lucio is a Professor at the University of Manchester (Alliance Manchester Business School), UK. Robert MacKenzie is Professor of Working Life Science at Karlstad Business School, Karlstad University, Sweden.Trade ReviewThis is an impressive and important book that creates the benchmark for how everyone should learn about international human resource management (HRM). International HRM is not simply an organizational strategy, it’s a set of challenges rooted in questions about business and work in society. By embracing rather than assuming away the fundamental issues of interests, power, social relations, and economic systems, this volume richly but accessibly equips students with the basis for deep, critical engagement with all of the standard topics in international HRM, and with additional issues that should become standard. -- John W. BuddGlobalization is not a new phenomenon, but some of its consequences are. The new edition of International Human Resource Management critically examines how globalization affects labor and employment today. It raises important question about organizational change, sustainability, and ethical issues. We need this book more than ever. -- Anders BuchThis is a balanced compendium of International Human Resource Management. The book explores issues of contemporary relevance in ways that make it a useful resource for students and practitioners. -- Professor Emmanuel OgbonnaInternational Human Resource Management is ‘The’ Handbook for the study of the management of employment, within several key and new contexts and areas, with a distinctive critical vein, which makes it distinctive, attractive and novel for any scholar interested in uncovering the drivers of changes and transformations which have been (and still are) affecting the world of work and workers. -- Valeria PulignanoThis is a terrific textbook for teaching International Human Resource Management. Academics frustrated with the narrow scope of previous International Human Resource Management textbooks will welcome this new edition by Martinez Lucio and Robert MacKenzie. Most importantly, this book goes beyond a narrow focus on the company level and studies International Human Resource Management within its various contexts, ranging from local to international influences and considering a range of societal, economic, and governmental actors and pressures, which all impinge on the management of human resources. Thus, this textbook provides an insightful and critical account and approach for students, academics, and practitioners alike. The textbook has become an instant classic for teaching International Human Resource Management, but the book and its various chapters will also be of relevance for comparative and international classes in employment relations, management, and work & organizations. -- Marco HauptmeierTable of ContentsSection 1: The Dynamic Context of International Human Resource Management Chapter 1: Globalization and Employment: Developments and Contradictions - Miguel Martínez Lucio and Robert MacKenzie Chapter 2: Transnational Corporations, Human Resource Management and Globalization - Phil Almond and María C.

There is much in this book which will be beneficial for all students, whether neurodivergent or not.

The book has been great in helping me identify these difficulties with practical skills and tools to tackle them. The activities in the book really push me to look into my development needs which I have not been able to do until now. The breakdown of sections was great when jumping back and forth between key themes throughout, especially when I forget, as we Dyslexics do! The book has been an eye opener to the themes surrounding Dyslexia and helped me understand that not all students tackle their needs the same. For me it will forever be a handbook on how to deal with my Dyslexia and being able to integrate it into my life as opposed to fighting it. A superb, practical and concise book for those students looking for some help and guidance in what can seem like a difficult academic journey. -- Sivan HamdaAn informative, concise and well-structured skills book. Not only is the information relevant but communicated and presented in an accessible and appealing way (...) Now, as a qualified teacher, I read this book with a teacher’s hat.
