Self-Evaluation And Psychotherapy In The Market System

Self-Evaluation And Psychotherapy In The Market System

Self-Evaluation and Psychotherapy in the Market System examines the ways in which the competitive hierarchical nature of today’s market system contributes to the issues that many clients bring to therapy. Instead of seeing a lack of self-esteem as the root of clients’ problems Glantz and Bernhard argue that self-evaluation—the struggle to achieve a high opinion of self—exacerbated by the market system leads to stress and endless self-involvement. Beginning with an explanation of the connection between the market system and self-evaluation this volume then goes on to describe an approach to therapeutic treatment designed to free clients from the negative effects of the market system by moving away from self-evaluation altogether. This is a must-read for therapists looking for a new approach to treating clients left questioning their place in a society that encourages competition and self-involvement.

Minority Student Retention The Best of the Journal of College Student Retention: Research Theory & Practice

Minority Student Retention The Best of the Journal of College Student Retention: Research Theory & Practice

Student retention continues to be a vexing problem for all colleges and universities. In spite of the money spent on creating programs and services to help retain students until they achieve their academic and personal goals and graduate the figures have not improved over time. This is particularly true for minority students who have a greater attrition rate than majority students. Demographic information shows that the minority population in the United States is growing at a faster rate than the majority. It is imperative that educational institutions find ways to help improve retention rates for all students but particularly minority students. Retention rates should not differ appreciably among different racial/ethnic groups. The Journal of College Student Retention: Research Theory and Practice is the only scholarly peer-reviewed journal devoted solely to college student retention. It has published many articles on minority student retention and this topic continues to garner much attention. This book is a compilation of the very best of these articles selected on the basis of reviews by a cadre of experts in the education field. The articles discuss African American Latino/Latina Asian and Asian Pacific Native American and biracial students and institutional commitments to retaining a diverse student population. For those interested in this vital area the collection will teach and inspire them to achieve greater heights and pay additional attention to retaining minority students in our colleges and universities. | Minority Student Retention The Best of the Journal of College Student Retention: Research Theory & Practice

Sustainable Design and Construction in Africa A System Dynamics Approach

Sustainable Design and Construction in Africa A System Dynamics Approach

This book addresses some of the countless challenges faced by developing countries when adopting sustainable design and construction and offers suggestions for the way forward for African development projects. The authors argue that the pervasive non-consideration of the interrelationship between the elements of sustainable design and construction is the reason for the current failures in sustainable design and construction in developed countries. By treating sustainability as a complex system the authors provide the missing link between the design and construction of projects in a sustainable way with a view to improving industry and project performance. In doing so the book posits the need for improved sustainability practice in developing countries lessons for developing countries from the successes and failures of sustainability adoption by developed nations factors influencing adoption of sustainability and effects of sustainable designs and construction on productivity human health and the environment at large. This book will be of interest to construction researchers practitioners professional bodies housing policy makers and government institutions as well as training and funding providers in these areas. | Sustainable Design and Construction in Africa A System Dynamics Approach

Education Justice and the Human Good Fairness and equality in the education system

Education Justice and the Human Good Fairness and equality in the education system

The education system is faced with many demands of justice. What these demands imply and how they are justified is however disputed. In this book international contributors present cutting edge research to discuss the relationship between educational justice and the value of education. By combining reflections on educational justice with reflections on the human good and the aims of education the book reveals that it is not enough to assess certain patterns of distribution; the value of what is to be distributed must also be clarified. In this respect deliberations about the value of education have to play an integral part in giving an account of educational justice. Questions addressed in the volume include: - In what sense should justice fairness and equality be realised in the education system? - How is educational equality related to equality of opportunity? - Is the main concern that everyone should be educated equally well – or just well enough?Education Justice and the Human Good discusses the positional value of education and its relation to educational justice emphasising that education is valuable not only for competitive reasons but in its contribution to human flourishing. The book will appeal to those from the field of the philosophy of education as well as applied political philosophy from undergraduates to professional academics. | Education Justice and the Human Good Fairness and equality in the education system
