Thinkback A User's Guide to Minding the Mind

Thinkback A User's Guide to Minding the Mind

The fundamental premise of Thinkback-based on overwhelming scientific evidence-is that intelligence is not fixed at birth and that with consistent effort we can dramatically improve our capacities. It counters the claims of some psychologists that it is impossible to increase intelligence because that ability is determined at birth. Thinkback builds on the Think Aloud strategies in Arthur Whimbey and Jack Lochhead's popular and widely used volume Problem Solving & Comprehension now in its sixth edition. Since its publication thousands of students have used these techniques for improving thinking and analytic reasoning to increase test scores win National Merit Scholarships and gain admission to top-ranked professional schools.

Why It's OK to Want to Be Rich

Why It's OK to Want to Be Rich

Finger-wagging moralizers say the love of money is the root of all evil. They assume that making a lot of money requires exploiting others and that the best way to wash off the resulting stain is to give a lot of it away. In Why It’s OK to Want to Be Rich Jason Brennan shows that the moralizers have it backwards. He argues that in general the more money you make the more you already do for others and that even an average wage earner is productively “giving back” to society just by doing her job. In addition wealth liberates us to have the best chance of leading a life that’s authentically our own. Brennan also demonstrates how money-based societies create nicer more trustworthy and more cooperative citizens. And in another chapter that takes on the new historians of capitalism Brennan argues that wealthy nations became wealthy because of their healthy institutions not from their horrific histories of slavery or colonialism. While writing that the more money one has the more one should help others Brennan also notes that we weren’t born into a perpetual debt to society. It’s OK to get rich and it’s OK to enjoy being rich too. Key Features Shows how the desire to become wealthy in an open and fair market helps maximize cooperation and lessens the chance of violence and war Argues that it is much easier for the average for-profit business to add value to the world than it is for the average non-profit Demonstrates that the kinds of virtues (e. g. conscientiousness thoughtfulness hard work) that lead to desirable personal and civic states (e. g. happy marriages stable families engaged citizens) also make people richer Argues that living in small clans for most of their history has given humans a negative attitude towards anyone acquiring more than her fair share an attitude that’s ill-suited for our market-driven globally connected world In a final provocative chapter maintains that ideal economic growth is infinite. | Why It's OK to Want to Be Rich

Consulting to Chaos An Approach to Patient-Centred Reflective Practice

Consulting to Chaos An Approach to Patient-Centred Reflective Practice

In clinical work an awareness of patients' subjective experiences particularly their perceptions of interpersonal relationships is indispensable. The aim of this book is to improve care and treatment planning by describing a structured approach to eliciting patients' core relationship patterns. These patterns consist of the roles and scenarios into which they repeatedly cast themselves and others with whom they interact.

This book shows how to use vital information that is often not made available to treatment teams in order to understand such potential pitfalls rather than succumb to them. | Consulting to Chaos An Approach to Patient-Centred Reflective Practice

Coming to Know

Coming to Know

First published in 1980 Coming to Know offers an account which runs counter to orthodox educational psychology in which learning and knowledge are reified emotional aspects are excluded the personal-social situation of the learner is ignored and the created character of knowledge with all its social and political ramifications is denied. This collection of work explores personal knowing in a wide range of activities from children’s classroom adjustment through student learning as a social practice to women’s perceptions of themselves. It argues that the processes of learning and knowing are not divorced from the learner as a person. Broadly humanistic in its approach Coming to Know provides a welcome counterbalance to the scientific theory of learning. This book is an essential read for scholars and researchers of educational psychology and also for teachers and educationists.

Married to Melanesia

Married to Melanesia

‘We were married after three years at opposite ends of the world…. We then too rapidly for comfort made off in a snowstorm for the South Seas…. All this we imprudently did in our late forties. ’ Thus Muriel Jones introduces her account originally published in 1974 of how she came to start her married life in the Solomon Islands ‘whose impact was traumatic perhaps just because we were not in our first youth or innocent of other tropical experience’. ‘St Peter’s College was the only thing at Siota’; there was no store and the only post office on the island ‘was so difficult of access that I never visited it … we ourselves did most of the postal business – quite informally – at our end of the island’. It is not surprising that even high-ranking visitors tended to arrive looking like ship-wrecked sailors. ‘If one was ill enough to see a doctor one was on the whole too ill to be subjected to several hours of sun or rain in an open boat and a probable night en route. ’ There is too the account of the old lady whose family on her death wanted to bury her in a coffin instead of the customary mat. ‘Poor old lady; at the end of all these exertions the coffin with her in it stood in the church for the funeral uneasily supported on two rickety small tables from our sitting room mutely exhorting us to STOW AWAY FROM BOILERS. ’ Muriel Jones tells the unusual story of her five Melanesian years of the impact of Christianity on a pagan people of her husband’s college and its move to another island of the students the islands and their animals and exotic vegetation of the islanders (nine-tenths of whom live in communities ranging from twenty to two hundred people) and of their changing way of life. Her story takes one about as far as it is possible to go from an urban civilisation and in telling it she reveals the resources of her own character. | Married to Melanesia
