Book SynopsisIn First Person Action Research Judi Marshall invites her reader to join her in the rich world of first person inquiry: a reflexive approach to life and to one's own participation in research and learning. Written as a collage of interrelated chapters, fragments and voices, this is an important meditation on the nature of inquiring action. Judi Marshall's book provides an accessible introduction to self-reflective practice; exploring its principles and practices and illustrating with reflective accounts of inquiry from the author's professional and personal life. The book also considers action for change in relation to issues of ecological sustainability and corporate responsibility. Writing is reviewed as a process of inquiry, and as a way to present action research experiences. Connections are made with the work of the literary authors Nathalie Sarraute and Kazuo Ishiguro to expand the scope of typical academicTrade ReviewJudi Marshall’s enduring practice of living life as inquiry shines through this excellent volume which is at once a handbook, provocation, storybook, and confidant. A vital resource for those wishing to engage in the messiness of self-reflexive practice, Judi’s text provides wise guidance through its difficulties while pointing to its possibilities for self and systems transformation. -- Dr Donna LadkinThis is a jewel of a book. Judi Marshall, not only provides insights into the theory and practice of first person action research she also engages in it herself. She shows how living life as inquiry is a responsibility that challenges us to think critically and act meaningfully in our world. This book is a must, not merely to read, but to internalise. -- David CoghlanFirst person action research, as Judi articulates it, helps inform better action, better research and more mindful leadership. The field of action research has been waiting for Judi’s decades long crystallization of first person inquiry practices and First Person Action Research now offers a most welcome and timely read. Action researchers, who are encouraged to hold high aspirations for positive impact with stakeholders, will find a guide to staying in touch with their aspiration, and support for making it real. Judi’s work helps to situate inquiry that integrates what she calls "outer and inner arcs of attention," into our everyday "living life as inquiry." First person inquiry is not for its own sake. As social scientists we may also understand that because ostensibly objective studies are increasingly questioned for their partiality, well-wrought first person action research can help clarify and refine our scientific insights. Judi offers examples of useful and occasionally artistic first person inquiry practices, helpfully brought alive with her own stories of living everyday inquiry. We are edified by inquiry practices that enrich all, both practitioners and those touched by the practice, alike.

Book SynopsisMaking a case for a reflexive approach to leadership, the authors draw upon decades of carrying out in-depth studies of professionals trying to do leadership. Through interviews with managers and their subordinates, getting a good understanding of organizational context, and critically interpreting their observations considering both leadership theories and a wealth of other perspectives, their celebration of reflexivity is used to question dominant leadership thinking. Considering and challenging various departures from lines of reasoning results in a book that draws upon rich empirical material and which has a number of new, provocative, critical and constructive ideas that help to develop sharper and more thoughtful thinking and practice - both in academic and practical contexts. Suitable for leadership and organisation courses at upper-level undergraduate and upwards (including MBA-classes and Executive Education) and a thought provoking read for practitTrade ReviewThere are not many books on leadership that combine critical reflection, rigorous scholarship and a wide range of material. There are even fewer from authors that have actually studied leadership in situ and have something innovative to say on the topic. This book is one of those rare creatures: a treasure trove for the uninitiated and the expert alike: read it! -- Keith Grint This book on reflexive leadership by three deeply-experienced scholars challenges the taken-for-granted assumptions and language of the leadership industry. The authors call for careful, critical thought about how to organize workplaces is a refreshing departure from the "unreflective mindlessness" that characterizes much of the celebratory literature on leadership. -- Robert JackallReflexive Leadership challenges you to think differently about leadership. It is a refreshing break from the shibboleths of today′s leadership approaches. It challenges you to clarify what leadership is and is not--and motivates you to respond in kind. An excellent read for scholars and practitioners alike! -- Gail FairhurstThis is an exceptionally well written book. It takes us beyond the impossible fantasies about leadership that we so often find in the literature. Using fascinating examples throughout it offers insights that are often surprising and always useful.

From this seemingly straightforward formulation, they unravel, interrogate and engage with some of the most pressing issues related to children in the early 21st century...

This book is an absolute must for scholars in all the field of childhood studies. -- Professor Joy DamousiThis is an exciting and engagingly written book. The case studies are intriguing and the discussion of previous theories impeccable. -- Heather MontgomeryThis clear-sighted study of the history and present state of child-directed knowledge and practice should be compulsory reading for professionals working with children. Lawyers, doctors, psychologists, social workers, teachers – not to mention lawmakers and bureaucrats – will benefit by the challenge it offers. -- Marian QuartlyUsing diverse examples and applied case studies from across the globe, the authors demonstrate the relationships between contemporary understandings of childhood and historical, social, political and geographic factors. Rich in theory and extensively researched, it is a provocative, engaging and accessible contribution to the field. -- Andrew SingletonThe book provides a concrete impression of the diverse and disputed facets of the globalization process and its impacts on contemporary childhoods. The authors identify the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child as a Western-based controversially discussed driver of global norms for a "good childhood", and highlight how children‘s rights can be dealt with in a critical, contextualized and culture-sensitive manner. There is no similar publication in German so far. -- Dr Manfred LiebelThe strength of this book is that it is a wide-ranging introduction to key ideas in the study of childhood, and strikes an admirable balance between being relatively accessible and presenting ?ne-grained detail.

Book Synopsis This book is a first steps introduction to cognitive behaviour therapy that will appeal to the interested reader and professionals wanting to learn about the approach. It introduces you to the history of the approach, describes its behavioural and cognitive principles, and examines key techniques and methods within the context of contemporary practice. Further chapters on Formulation, Working with Imagery, and Future Directions in CBT help you to extend your learning, while reflective activities and case studies throughout the book support you to apply principles and perspectives to practice. Trade ReviewCorrie and Lane’s ‘First Steps in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy’ outlines the basic concepts, techniques and widening applications of the most empirically validated form of psychotherapy. It is well written and easy to understand. The authors, both highly respected leaders in the field, have produced one the most accessible texts on the subject that I have ever had the pleasure of reading. A valuable resource with wide appeal to anyone interested in learning about CBT from the simply curious to HR practitioners, coaches and students. -- Dr Marc KahnSarah Corrie and David Lane present the first steps in CBT with remarkable and consistent clarity even when dealing with relatively complex topics. In my opinion, this is an excellent introduction to CBT and will be enjoyed by many students and trainees entering this field. -- Stuart TurnerI’ve spent many years as a CBT Practitioner and read many books on the subject and for me this one really stands out. Why? – Because from the very start the authors of First Steps in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy form a relationship with the reader supporting their learning and understanding from beginning to end. This book is skillfully structured, beautifully written, and packed with examples and applications that relate to a wide range of contexts including `everyday living’. Care is taken to exclude no-one as each chapter of the book moves seamlessly through introductory principles and concepts, theory, research and practical applications. Whether you are an experienced or novice therapist, a coach, a professional from a completely different context, a potential or actual client, or none of these, the book is written in a way that all can relate to and apply to their own unique life - past, present and future. The exercises at the end of each chapter facilitate the reader in getting the most out of the book. They include getting to know how your mind works, analyzing your own behaviour, reflecting on experience, using imagery to help you achieve your goal, keeping a diary of how you spend your time and enabling yourself for the world of tomorrow. This is a shorter book than many on the subject, and I suspect that once you start reading it you won’t want to put it down. What could be complex and dry material is presented in a powerful, lively, simple (but far from simplistic) way, and it cannot fail to touch its readers in ways that impact on their own lives and also others with whom they interact professionally or personally. I highly recommend this book by Sarah Corrie and David Lane. -- Professor Mary Watts * Review *This book is a new departure for Sarah and David. As highly qualified academics, they usually produce books and papers for those familiar with psychological topics. In this excellent book, they seek to help those of us less familiar with CBT to understand the principles on which it is built and the ways it is used effectively in practice. As I should have expected, they have written a book that is easy to read without dumbing down the academic rigor. Indeed, one of its real attractions is how they have made the book very accessible by using fictitious case studies drawn from their vast experience as practitioners. In addition, there are regular prompts for the reader to self-reflect on how they might apply the contents. They end with a brief look at where CBT may develop in the future. I highly recommend this book for any non-expert or lay person who is keen to gain better understanding of CBT for their own personal or professional lives. You will not regret the time taken in allowing Sarah and David to lead you gently to a greater understanding of CBT. -- Phil Moore * Review *This is an excellently well-written book, which introduces the history, key scientific and philosophical underpinnings; principles and practice of cognitive-behaviour therapy (CBT). The style is thoughtful and engaging. The authors achieve a sound balance of explaining concepts in a way which does not assume prior knowledge, but does not patronise the reader. There are illustrative examples of a range of situations which demonstrate the approaches being discussed. The book makes use of the principles described, by offering reflective learning activities, and signposting to further reading at the end of each chapter. It provides an up to date, engaging overview of the field, noting the core researchers and current developments which inform CBT. I would recommend this book to anyone starting training in CBT, as well as fundamental reading for therapists training in other orientations or schools of thought, mental health and well-being therapists, and as a core reference for CBT training programmes -- Helen Macdonald, * Review *Sarah Corrie and David Lane have provided a very timely and easy to understand book about Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy (CBT). The book should interest individuals and mental health professionals who seek knowledge regarding the workings of this scientifically developed and most successful therapeutic methodology in our time The book informs comprehensively for those who seek help, direction and suitable professional guidance. Both authors are clinical psychologists with extensive clinical and research experience. As pioneers, supervisors and practitioners of CBT they have contributed substantially to the development of this most successful therapeutic approach to date. Corrie and Lane take the reader through the complex development of CBT to what they call a family of therapeutic approaches as guided by behavioural and cognitive science. They describe how CBT was started as Behaviour Therapy by the early pioneers Hans Eysenck and Vic Meyer and many other psychologists discontent with available tradional methods to mental health problems offered by psychiatry and psychoanalytic approaches at the time. They outline a complex development that occurred in waves over several decades integrating and refining behavioural and cognitive methodologies and explaining how this led to the empirically established and evidence based therapeutic approach that continues to develop new specialised therapies (third wave) based on earlier developments (first and second waves). Next the authors give a detailed account how therapy intervention is designed and implemented as guided by behavioural and cognitive principles leading to respective methods. Finally, the concept and the highly important role of individualised case formulation in CBT is fully explained and demonstrated with a clinical case. This book should be a very useful guide for people looking for a therapeutic approach based on scientific principles but also for health professional in training and practice for psychotherapy. It is also highly recommended for any reading list with CBT training courses. -- Michael Bruch * Review *A beautifully written book: clear and easy to understand, and comprehensively covering the key principles and techniques of cognitive behavioural therapy. Fictional case examples bring components of CBT to life and reflective exercises provide opportunities to reflect on how to relate CBT principles to one’s own life. Extremely useful for trainee cognitive behavioural therapists, and anyone interested in understanding what cognitive behavioural therapy is. -- Dr Lucy MaddoxTable of ContentsIntroduction Part 1 - The Principles and Perspectives of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Chapter 1 - Understanding Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Chapter 2 - The Cognitive Principle Chapter 3 - The Behavioural Principle Chapter 4 - The Style and Delivery of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Part 2 - Cognitive and Behavioural Interventions Chapter 5 - Cognitive Techniques for Working with Thoughts Chapter 6 - Cognitive Techniques for Working with Enduring Cognitions Chapter 7 - Working with Imagery Chapter 8 - Behavioural Methods for Building Skills and Changing Patterns of Activity Chapter 9 - Exposure and Behavioural Experiments Part 3 - Using CBT in Therapy and Beyond Chapter 10 - Formulation in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Chapter 11 - Future Directions for Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Conclusion

It′s everything a student nurse could need all in one place, a one-stop shop for orientation to the world of nursing. It seems to cover everything a student would want to know. The case studies are great and I was especially pleased to see learning disabilities so prominently, and family-centred case studies. The activities are excellent and I can imagine lecturers buying this book and adapting them for classroom discussion too. -- Lucy KirkhamThis book has everything that we want to convey to our student nurses as a good foundation of knowledge on which to build throughout their course. It is a useful guide to our profession, the values, skills and knowledge we possess. The case studies are good to encourage critical thinking and the chapter summaries, activities, glossaries etc are great to bring each chapter to a close and for the student to reflect on what has been learnt. -- Sera ManningTable of ContentsPart A: Learning to be a Nurse Chapter 1.

Book SynopsisPsychoPy is an open-source software package for creating rich, dynamic experiments in psychology, neuroscience and linguistics. Written by its creator, this book walks you through the steps of building experiments in PsychoPy, from using images to discovering lesser-known features, and from analysing data to debugging your experiment. Divided into three parts and with unique extension exercises to guide you at whatever level you are at, this textbook is the perfect tool for teaching practical undergraduate classes on research methods, as well as acting as a comprehensive reference text for the professional scientist. Essential reading for anyone using PsychoPy software, the second edition has been fully updated and includes multiple new chapters about features included in recent versions of PsychoPy, including running studies online and collecting survey data. Part I teaches you all the basic skills you need (and some more advanced tips along the way) to design experiments in behavioral sciences. Each chapter introduces anew concept but will offer a series of working experiments that you can build on. Part II presents more details important for professional scientists intending to use PsychoPy for published research. This part is recommended reading for science professionals in any discipline. Part III covers a range of specialist topics, such as those doing fMRI research, or those studying visual perception. "This book fills an incredibly important gap in the field. Many users of PsychoPy will be excited to learn that there is now a highly accessible and well-designed written guide to refine their skills." – Susanne Quadflieg, University of BristolTrade ReviewThe 2020 pandemic has forced a lot of researchers to move their physical lab experiments online.

Book SynopsisDigital storytelling for brands has become a non-negotiable skill in the 21st century, due to the need to connect and communicate with diverse audiences across multiple channels and platforms. The ability to understand narrative(s) is now a prerequisite for many business, communication, marketing and public relations professionals, as well as content creators and journalists. This book teaches essential skills in deconstructing the traditional narrative and how to adapt narrative to fit contemporary platforms. Co-creative methods are emphasised and provide readers with a theoretical underpinning of participatory culture, and narrative. For the first time ever, this book brings together extant arts and humanities-based models with business theory. It provides learners with a clear understanding of the creative and persuasive form of narrative within a digital context, whilst building brand. Contemporary case studies highlight challenges faced in the digital world, including implications for reputation management, considerations associated with mis- and disinformation and the crucial role of the collective narrative. A key principle guiding this book is: ‘the more digital we become, the more we crave to feel human’ and it is this very space where digital storytelling can cut through the (digital) noise to provide an authentic connection. Bridget Tombleson is an academic at Curtin University, Perth, Western Australia, with more than twenty years’ experience in public relations and the communication industry. Katharina Wolf is an Associate Professor at Curtin University in Perth, Western Australia, and Lead of the Faculty of Business and Law’s public relations program.Table of ContentsChapter 1: Narrative Models Across the Ages Chapter 2: Semiotics In A Digital World Chapter 3: Participatory Culture And Transmedia Storytelling Chapter 4: The Traditional Narrative And The Collective Narrative Chapter 5: Telling Stories Across Multiple Platforms Chapter 6: Becoming a Story Curator Chapter 7: Storytelling Design And Composition Chapter 8: Storytelling Through Video And Scrollytelling Chapter 9: Podcasts For Business Storytelling Chapter 10: Brand Storytelling And Reputation Management Chapter 11: Outrage, Mis- and Disinformation In The Digital World Chapter 12: Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality And The Future Of Storytelling
