The Work-Family Interface - Stephen A. Sweet - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

The author is a proud sponsor of the 2020 SAGE Keith Roberts Teaching Innovations Award—enabling graduate students and early career faculty to attend the annual ASA pre-conference teaching and learning workshop. This brief and accessible title integrates contemporary scholarly research with compelling vignettes to make it appealing to both instructors and undergraduate audiences. While focused on the United States in respect to its target audience and emphasis, it contains considerable international data that compares and contrasts social policies adopted in Europe and elsewhere. In so doing, it shows both the strengths and the limitations of the approaches used in the U.S. This title is the only single source that summarizes the origins of work–family concerns, the diversities of needs and experiences, the impact of tensions on the family front, the consequences of tensions for employers, and different types of policies that can make meaningful differences not only in the lives of employees, but also potentially in job quality and national productivity.

Social Development - Nancy Eisenberg - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Published in cooperation with the Society for Personality and Social Psychology To some degree, the issues raised by social psychologists and developmentalists overlap, each of them offering unique possibilities by which to explore questions of interest. Social Development addresses this issue and attempts to foster an awareness of the interesting research on the interface of social and developmental psychology. Written by a cast of leading researchers, this volume provides a multi-level perspective on the common boundaries between social and developmental psychology with an eye toward synthesizing research from many fields including personality, education, social work, and family studies. The contributors raise questions that are often not recognized by investigators due to their lack of knowledge of work and ideas outside their own discipline. Some of the specific subjects covered are individual differences in predicting others′ thoughts and feelings, naturally occurring interpersonal expectancies, self-conceptions and their development, and social development and self-monitoring. Researchers and students involved in social psychology, developmental psychology, personality, social work, family studies, sociology, and adolescence will find Social Development to be a lucid, insightful, and interesting volume.

What's Social about Social Cognition? - - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Cognition research and theory has become a major focus of attention within academic psychology over the past 15 years. However, most social cognition research has tended to focus on the social thinker in isolation, neglecting the impact of social interactions on cognition. A cutting-edge collection from integral figures in social cognition and small group fields, What′s Social About Social Cognition? fills a lapse in the literature while exploring social phenomena within small groups. Significantly augmented from a special issue of Small Group Research, this volume answers the demand for a greater social emphasis in social cognition research by examining decision making, prejudices, motivations, emotions, and reciprocal influences between and among small group members. And while the entire book provides a springboard for research to come on the social processes and aspects of social cognition, a special concluding chapter looks to the future of this important new research focus. Presenting the latest empirical research at the interface between cognitive and social psychology, this volume will appeal to social and personality psychologists specializing in social cognition as well as group researchers in both applied and theoretical behavioral sciences. What′s Social About Social Cognition? will also prove an invaluable textbook for social psychology survey courses that focus on current theories, and for research methods courses in which social cognition models are presented.

Child Abuse - - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Child Abuse brings together experts in both physical abuse and sexual abuse to create one of the few volumes that has addressed innovative approaches to treatment and prevention in these two areas. The resulting compendium of information provides insights into the current psychological perspectives on the causes and treatment of different forms of child maltreatment as well as the delivery of early intervention and prevention services. The book begins in the first part with a conceptual overview of the effect of physical abuse on the life course of children and adults. Chapters on physical abuse also examine recent findings related to child abuse offenders, children who witness domestic violence, treatment of abusive adults, and prevention programs aimed at dating adolescents and pregnant women. Contributors focusing on child sexual abuse note new approaches to the delivery of treatment services for these children as well as current developments in the interface between abuse victims and the court system. Considering the needs of both adult survivors and children, Child Abuse also discusses how child maltreatment interventions can be integrated into broader intervention services. An ideal book for use in professional training and development, Child Abuse will also guide policymakers at state and national levels to emerging new models and programs. This volume is likewise a useful resource for researchers and practitioners in social work, clinical/counseling psychology, mental health, and public health.

Culture and Citizenship - - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

`Stevenson′s exciting collection takes the issue of cultural citizenship far beyond the liberal concerns with tolerance, diversity, social rights and obligations. The attainment of such citizenship, the author′s argue, is conditional on positive cultural democratization, that is, the availability of cultural resources (semiotic and material) essential for meaningful and critical life, as well as the public institutions protecting us "from the excesses of the free market". Both are considered within the context of the IT revolution ("electronic democracy"), new social movements (especially feminist), and identity formation. The volume, especially the contributions by Turner, Crossley, Elliott, Yeatman and Frosh, demonstrates the vitality of theoretical reflection linking citizenship, culture and democracy′ - Jan Pakulski, University of Tasmania `Culture′ and `citizenship′ are two of the most hotly contested concepts in the social sciences.What do they really mean? What are the relationships between them? This lively and penetrating book outlines the new linkages between culture and citizenship. In particular, it sheds light on issues of inclusion and exclusion, market and policy, rights and responsibilities, and the definition of citizens and non-citizens. Substantive topics investigated include: cultural democracy; intersubjectivity and the unconscious; globalization and the nation state; European citizenship; and discourses on cultural policy. For anyone working or studying at the interface between citizenship and culture, this is an indispensable and timely volume.

Family Relations - - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

As the social world of American families feverishly changes, single-parent families, dual-career couples, and blended families have quickly become the norm rather than the exception. In Family Relations, a distinguished group of leading family researchers including Joan Huber, David Olson, Hamilton McCubbin, and Marilyn Coleman examines the social changes that have gripped society and explains their impact on family relationships and functioning. Initial chapters address principal theories of change; the remainder of the volume addresses the predominant challenges facing contemporary families such as work/family interface, violence, family dysfunction, family crisis, divorce, and the transition to marriage and parenthood. The contributors make suggestions for change in family policy, family therapy, and family life education, and conclude with an overview of the current state of families and future directions. This comprehensive and interesting volume is for students, family researchers, sociologists, psychologists, counselors, family life educators, and policy analysts. "True to its aim it informs about the latest understandings and tools of intervention to help overcome the formidable challenges to the family....there is some worthy scholarship to be found in this volume....chapter 3 on gender and role change is a lively and readable summary." --British Journal of Social Work "[This volume] has much to offer. For example, the volume contains demographic information often needed by practitioners and policymakers at a moment′s notice. Literature reviews not only summarize research on a particular topic but also are organized around a theoretical framework. Well-known authors have contributed scholarly, insightful commentaries on current family issues and challenges for the future. In short, this book provides information that practitioners and policymakers could use to do the following: establish the need and rationale for programming and applied research, justify the expenditure of funds for children and families, ground their work in theory and research, conduct in-service education, and consider program evaluation strategies. . . . This book is well-written and provides a valuable resource for the intended readership. I look forward to the second volume." --Journal of Marriage and the Family

Psychotherapy and Politics - Nick Totton - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

` This is one of the most comprehensive books that I have read that addresses the relationship between therapies, the social and the political. Comprehensive in the sense that it covers many areas in short but succinct chapters which focus on particular relationships in the field. It is, in some way, a textbook, rather than a monograph and I would imagine that students of the field would find it a useful source of reference that they would return to time and again′ - Psychotherapy & Politics `SAGE′s invariably stimulating book series ′ Perspectives in Psychotherapy ′, edited by Colin Feltham, is certainly fortunate to be graced by the latest addition from Nick Totton, who offers us a tour de force of the diverse and manifold ways in which therapy and politics interpenetrate and inform each other′ - Richard House, Self & Society `This is a truly outstanding book. In a world riven with anger, hatred, fear and aggression it provides a window of rationality, inspired by intelligence, understanding and humanistic principles′ - The Journal of Critical Psychology, Counselling & Psychotherapy `This stimulating addition to SAGE′s catalogues aims to give the practising counsellor/therapist a multi-dimensional overview of the various ways in which the political and psychotherapeutic worlds interface′ - Association for University and College Counselling Newsletter This stimulating book explores the long-standing relationship between psychotherapy and politics and argues that from the beginning psychotherapy has had a political face. Documenting instances where ideas from psychotherapy have been incorporated into the political agenda, the book demonstrates the practical value of psychotherapy as an instigator of social and political change. Related to this, attempts to understand and evaluate political life through the application of psychotherapeutic concepts are examined. The author poses a number of key questions, including: What is human nature? Are aggression and violence innate in us? Is the therapeutic relationship inherently unequal? And, is the political an appropriate topic for therapy and counselling?

Supervising Psychotherapy - - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

`I enjoyed and was challenged by reading this book, and learned from, and with, it. It is useful for browsing and for a deeper exploration of chosen topics. It offers a healthy enrichment for all who have a dynamic interest in the external and internal supervisory relationship. I warmly recommend it′ - British Journal of Psychotherapy `This book is thoughtful, scholarly and very well written. The content is well set out in separate sections making it eminently readable. It is solidly based on psychoanalytic theory highlighting the transformational impact of a supervisory process that is embedded in the dyadic relationships formed by the supervised patient - supervisee and the supervisee - supervisor. This book has greatly enriched my understanding of the supervisory process and the organizational life in which it transpires. It will be a richly informative resource for all involved in supervisory work′ - Gemma Corbett, Self & Society Based on the view that supervision is in itself both a developmental and a therapeutic process, Supervising Psychotherapy examines the fundamental knowledge needed to become a skilled and effective supervisor. Written by a highly experienced team of trainers and supervisors, the book explores the triangular relationship which exists between supervisor, therapist and the absent patient or client. It describes in depth the complex dynamics which characterise this relationship, while avoiding the pitfalls of unconsciously colluding with or controlling the supervisee. In supervising the practice of others, supervisors must draw not only on their experience as a therapist, but also on a firm understanding of how people learn and of how organisational factors can impinge on therapy and supervision. The book examines the interface between supervision and teaching and between supervision and organisation and offers guidance in relation to: · unconscious processes in supervision · the supervisory triangle · supervising groups · supervising short term therapy · ethical practice · timing and ending of supervision. For those who are in the process of becoming supervisors and for those who already practising, Supervision in Psychotherapy is an enlightening and thought-provoking read. Mary Banks, Christine Driver, Gertrud Mander, Edward Martin and John Stewart are all trained supervisors who have been or are currently involved in training others in supervision. All are members of the British Association for Psychoanalytic and Psychodynamic Supervision (BAPPS).

The Narrative Study of Lives - - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

This volume is especially appealing in that it celebrates diversity and embraces disagreement. . . . The narrative scholar, regardless of her/his research tradition or field, will most certainly benefit from the diversity and depth provided in The Narrative Study of Lives. Editors Ruthellen Josselson and Amia Lieblich have admirably fulfilled their criteria of breadth, coherence, and aesthetic appeal for works included in this volume. Moreover, they have provided the necessary forum for the study of lives and life histories. We can only hope to continue the conversation in future volumes. --Journal of Contemporary Ethnography "Few questions have a longer, deeper, and livelier intellectual history than how we ′construct′ our lives--and, indeed, how we create ourselves in the process. But it is a question newly alive today, for modern scholarship has brought challenging new perspectives to the study of life writing. Literary theorists, linguists, legal scholars, and even political activists are bringing new and powerful insights to bear. The Narrative Study of Lives provides a needed forum for the debates now in progress and should attract a loyal and numerous band of readers." --Jerome Bruner, New York University "For those psychologists searching for new approaches to the study of lives, this volume takes an important step toward the editors′ promise of filling this gaping hole in psychology." --The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease How do we derive concepts from stories and then use these concepts to understand people? What would have to be added to transform story material from the journalistic or literary to the academic and theoretically-enriching? Addressing these and other such issues as the interface between life as lived and the social times, this group of distinguished contributors from six different countries and four different disciplines explores this emerging new field. Beginning with the philosophical framework that underlies the study of narrative, the book covers such questions as: What makes people want to preserve the stories of their past? What methods can be used to deconstruct a narrative text? Can what we learn from people′s narratives of their past be used to account for their current psychological functioning? What happens if people lose their ability to narrate their story? Can people′s narrative accounts tell us something about identity and its development? Useful to researchers and students of human development and behavior, The Narrative Study of Lives provides rich stories and analysis of narrative approaches to life history.

SAS Programming for Researchers and Social Scientists - Paul E. Spector - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Second Edition SAS® PROGRAMMING FOR RESEARCHERS AND SOCIAL SCIENTISTS By PAUL E. SPECTOR, University of South Florida University of South Florida "Just what the novice SAS programmer needs, particularly those who have no real programming experience. For example, branching is one of the more difficult programming commands for students to implement and the author does an excellent job of explaining this topic clearly and at a basic level. A big plus is the Common Errors section since students will definitely encounter errors." —Robert Pavur, Management Science, University of North Texas The book that won accolades from thousands has been completely revised! Taking a problem solving approach that focuses on common programming tasks that social scientists encounter in doing data analysis, Spector uses sample programs and examples from social science problems to show readers how to write orderly programs and avoid excessive and disorganized branching. He provides readers with a three-step approach (preplanning, writing the program, and debugging) and tips about helpful features and practices as well as how to avoid certain pitfalls. "Spector has done an excellent job in explaining a somewhat difficult topic in a clear and concise manner. I like the fact that screen captures are included. It allows students to better follow what is being described in the book in relation to what is on the screen." —Philip Craiger, Computer Science, University of Nebraska, Omaha This book provides readers with even more practical tips and advice. New features in this edition include: *New sections on debugging in each chapter that provide advice about common errors *End of chapter Debugging Exercises that offer readers the chance to practice spotting the errors in the sample programs *New section in Chapter 1 on how to use the interface, including how to work with three separate windows, where to write the program, executing the program, managing the program files, and using the F key *Five new appendices, including a Glossary of Programming Terms, A Summary of SAS Language Statements, A Summary of SAS PROCs, Information Sources for SAS PROCs, and Corrections for the Debugging Exercises *Plus, a link to Spector′s online SAS course! Appropriate for readers with little or no knowledge of the SAS language, this book will enable readers to run each example, adapt the examples to real problems that the reader may have, and create a program. "A solid introduction to programming in SAS, with a good, brief explanation of how that process differs from the usual point-and-click of Windows-based software such as SPSS and a spreadsheet. Even uninformed students can use it as a guide to creating SAS datasets, manipulating them, and writing programs in the SAS language that will produce all manner of statistical results." —James P. Whittenburg, History, College of William & Mary "Bridges the gap between programming syntax and programming applications. In contrast to other books on SAS programming, this book combines a clear explanation of the SAS language with a problem-solving approach to writing a SAS program. It provides the novice programmer with a useful and meaningful model for solving the types of programming problems encountered by researchers and social scientists." —John E.

Global Perspectives on E-Learning - - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

"The committee felt that Global Perspectives on E-Learning: Rhetoric and Reality was a remarkable commentary on the disconnect between the rhetoric of online learning (anywhere-anytime, open access, democratization, increasing economic opportunity) and the realities in regions as disparate as North America and sub-Saharan Africa (education as a "consumer good," increasing economic and social distances within populations, education for global consumerism rather than civic participation)."-- DISTANCE LEARNING COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE" Global Perspectives on E-Learning offers an authoritative compendium of online teaching and learning in a cross-section of nations around the world. This is a state-of-the-art review of promising online programs by authors who have participated in the movement. Rarely do we find such current and authoritative information about educational technology developments in more than a dozen countries in six continents." —Don Ely, Syracuse University "We need more critical and reflective texts on distance education and its evolution within a global framework. The authors provide the reader a social and political context for thinking about global education." —Roberto Muffoletto, Appalachian State University " Global Perspectives on E-Learning is a fascinating expedition on the road to democratizing online/distance learning through the dichotomy of rhetoric and social realities in countries around the world." —Paul Gathercoal, California Lutheran University "I think this is an excellent text. It provides the reader with a broad international perspective of distance education, something that is in short supply." —Chris Zirkle, College of Education, Ohio State University E-learning is growing around the world, with applications from schools to non-profits to business and industry and, of course, higher education. It has been heralded as the next democratizing force in education for offering access regardless of physical limitations, job status, geography, etc. It has also been challenged as representative of the myth of meritocracy for exacerbating the view that education alone rectifies failures to meet social needs. Further, the financial incentive to privatize education leads many to question its democratic merits. Global Perspectives on E-Learning: Rhetoric and Reality presents several cases of international online education and the rhetoric that surrounds this form of teaching and learning. Editor Alison A. Carr-Chellman examines the impact of online distance education throughout the world in an effort to understand more deeply the merits of such initiatives. Written from a critical perspective, the book sheds light on some of the problems faced by international distance educators. It particularly focuses on who benefits, and who does not, by the advance of international e-learning and how we can respond to the needs of the disenfranchised. This book is intended to supplement what has to this point been largely a positive, how-to literature in distance education. It offers a balanced perspective on the problems and possibilities of distance education worldwide. Global Perspectives on E-Learning is perfectly suited as a supplemental text for a variety of graduate-level education courses. Professional educators, policy makers, and anyone interested in international online education should consider this a vital addition to their libraries. Key Features - - - International case studies and discussions that show how initiatives interface with the international e-learning movement - - Focus questions at the start of each chapter help readers construct an advanced schema - - Numerous unique viewpoints from around the world provide a sophisticated and comprehensive overview - - Coverage from a number of countries: China, Taiwan, India, Namibia, Turkey, Ireland, the U.K., New Zealand, Australia, and the United States - A matrix of case studies that groups the cases by focus and theme, allowing students and instructors to customize their use of the book

Presents a comprehensive survey of current research on women in management in the United States, and demonstrates the multiplicity of theoretical approaches being adopted in the study of women managers. --Work, Employment & Society "This book makes a substantial contribution to both academic and practitioner audiences. Its 11 chapters and accompanying commentaries present a compendium of strong scholarly works that apply critical analysis to diverse aspects of women in management. . . . Women in Management ambitiously addresses a wide range of subject matter and represents an advance in management as it links together many related but distinct gender issues. . . . One of the contributions of this work is its conceptual clarity and ability to help us organize our thoughts with regard to this complex and many-faceted subject. . . . The relevance of the topics explored are unquestionable. . . . The research is thorough and the emphasis on theory extensive. And, finally, clear direction is given for future work that would build on what is known today. The book provides multiple perspectives from a number of disciplines that further support and refine what is known in this field. . . . It provides a compelling and highly essential synthesis of many of the very real problems and concerns facing our clients and their organizations today." --OD Practitioner "This book provides readers with considerable material; there is so much research presented in it that, at first, it is tough to absorb. And yet, absorb is exactly what one must do to begin to grasp its serious implications. . . . This book presents a varied and comprehensive study of women in management. Its cross-cultural, interdisciplinary approach is refreshing and powerful. I highly recommend this book to academicians, scholars, and practitioners. Regardless of which audience finds this book, each individual will come away with his or her own impressions of the future status of managerial women. Whether those impressions suggest a favorable or disfavorable future for women in management, they will be strong; I cannot imagine anyone who would be left unmoved. Apathy is an impossible response to reading this book." --Academy of Management Executive "This volume contributes to the ongoing analysis of the interface between women′s career aspirations and societal and organizational norms, assumptions and values." --Choice "Presents a lively, timely, and wide-ranging discussion of recent debates and conundrums about women in management. Includes historical and cross-national information as well as up-to-date reviews of legal, psychological, and socio-economic issues." --Myra H. Strober, Labor Economist, Stanford University "A useful and thorough compendium of research results and theorizing about women managers. Takes a multi-disciplinary and cross-cultural approach, and deals with the psychological, social, ideological, and legal ramifications of the issues facing women in management." --Lotte Bailyn, Sloan School of Management, Massachusetts Institute of Technology "One of the most dramatic and significant labor market developments in recent years has been the entry of large numbers of women into managerial positions. Yet women remain clustered in entry and, to a lesser extent, middle management positions and constitute just a small minority of those at the upper ranks. This book brings together the work of leading scholars from a variety of disciplines to examine these and other issues relating to women in management. The contributors present a comprehensive summary and a valuable critique of the current state of our knowledge and highlight important directions for future research. This is an important book and should find a wide readership among both scholars and practitioners." --Francine D. Blau, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign "World Families. . . . is the first collection of qualitative studies to analyze the relationship between television and family life across Western and non-Western cultures. --Canadian Journal of Communication While women′s numbers in the management profession are on the rise, women are still largely clustered in lower, and to a lesser extent middle-level management positions.

Much attention has been given to women′s struggle to crack through the proverbial "glass ceiling" and assume positions in the upper echelons of organizations. Yet, few significant inroads have been made. Women in Management traces women managers′ experiences using a wide-ranging, interdisciplinary analysis. A group of top scholars and researchers begins by examining historical and global perspectives; continues with individual and organizational issues such as ethnicity, health, and personal and family lifestyles; and concludes by exploring future trends in the issues of job discrimination, legal
