Understanding Individual Experiences of COVID-19 to Inform Policy and Practice in Higher Education - Helping Students, Staff,... Understanding Individual Experiences of COVID-19 to Inform Policy and Practice in Higher Education - Helping Students, Staff, and Faculty to Thrive in Times of Crisis (Hardcover)
Amy Aldous Bergerson, Shawn R. Coon
R4,476 Discovery Miles 44 760 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Utilizing findings from more than 200 interviews with students, staff, and faculty at a US university, this volume explores the immediate and real-life impacts of COVID-19 on individuals to inform higher education policy and practice in times of crisis. Documenting the profound impacts that COVID-19 had on university operations and teaching, this text foregrounds a range of participant perspectives on key topics such as institutional leadership and loss of community, managing motivation and the move to online teaching and learning, and coping with the adverse mental health effects caused by the pandemic. Far from dwelling on the negative, the volume frames the lived experiences and implications of COVID-19 for higher education through a positive, progressive lens, and considers how institutions can best support individual and collective thriving during times of crisis. This text will benefit researchers, academics, and educators in higher education with an interest in the sociology of education, higher education management, and eLearning more broadly. Those specifically interested in student affairs practice, as well as the administration of higher education, will also benefit from this book.

Incidental Psychotherapy within Christian Relationships - Mental Health Benefits from Therapeutic Alliances Built on the Caring... Incidental Psychotherapy within Christian Relationships - Mental Health Benefits from Therapeutic Alliances Built on the Caring Love of Christians (Paperback)
E. Rae Harcum
R1,031 Discovery Miles 10 310 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Incidental Psychotherapy within Christian Relationships points out the close similarity between the loving connections of Christians and therapeutic relationships between psychotherapists and clients. Thus, a simple Christian connection has an incidental therapeutic value for a troubled friend. This book continuously emphasizes that a Christian connection is never forged for the purpose of restoring mental health, but to obey the Christian mandate to love. The Christian connection, as a therapeutic alliance, merely provides a personal preparatory stage for possible later improvement. It does not apply in any way to the use of professional therapeutic techniques. The book discusses the nature of psychotherapy, the nature of "cures," and the credentials of qualified psychotherapists. Chapters focus on the nature of Christian connection and ways to improve it.

Intimacy and Ritual - A Study of Spiritualism, Medium and Groups (Paperback): Vieda Skultans Intimacy and Ritual - A Study of Spiritualism, Medium and Groups (Paperback)
Vieda Skultans
R1,083 Discovery Miles 10 830 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Originally published in 1974 Intimacy and Ritual is a sympathetic study of spiritualist activities and their relation to the practitioners' secular lives. The book, in particular, looks at the therapeutic function of spiritualism. Based on the author's fieldwork as a 'participant observer' among spiritualists in a South Wales town, the research covers spiritualists services and meetings as well as interviews with spiritualists in their own homes. The book gives an accurate account of spiritualist doctrines and beliefs about the spirit world. The book postulates that spirit possession always relates to illness and shows how this is often the physical counterpart of social malaise. Throughout the study, spiritualism is seen in terms of the coping techniques and the rewards which it offers its members. The book shows that spiritualism is more highly regarded as a problem-solving source than the formal care-giving organizations, such as psychiatrist hospitals and the social work agencies. Healing activities are interpreted as a symbolic enactment of male and female roles ideally conceived, and spiritualist messages offer symbols and explanations of illness and misfortune.

Compassionate Love in Intimate Relationships - The Integration Process of Sexual Mass Trauma, Racism, and Resilience... Compassionate Love in Intimate Relationships - The Integration Process of Sexual Mass Trauma, Racism, and Resilience (Hardcover)
Josiane M. Apollon
R3,869 Discovery Miles 38 690 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Drawing on interviews conducted with Black couples in the United States, this book explores relational resilience and identifies unique adaptation strategies that enable couples to overcome the multigenerational effects of violence and sexual mass trauma from slavery and activates compassionate love in flourishing relationships. By applying Appreciative Inquiry (AI) methodology and family systems theory, the book captures the spiritual, emotional, and sexual dimensions in Black couple systems that gives meaning to their resilient relationships in the context of contemporary America. Within the framework of compassionate love, the book highlights the need for researchers and clinicians to include the broader cultural contexts in their sexual trauma-informed studies and interventions. Using genetic studies and empirical evidence, the volume contributes significantly to discussion around Black relationships and historical trauma and to the broader challenges within race relations in the United States. This book will benefit researchers, academicians, and clinicians with an interest in sexual trauma, marriage, and family therapy, and couples counseling more broadly. Readers will also find this book useful when designing research in Black studies, intergenerational issues, or sexual intimacy.

Several contributors discuss Katie's suicide from the perspective of recent theories of suicide, including Joiner's interpersonal theory and Klonsky's three-step theory. Two contributors who have lost a child to suicide look at Katie's diary from their perspective, one of whom discusses whether it is truly possible to prevent suicide. Finally, Katie's sister reveals her reactions to this project and her ex-boyfriend shares his account of her death. This book is a vital addition to the library of any researcher, academic, or professional interested in suicide and suicide prevention.

Arab American Children with Disabilities - Considerations for Teachers and Service Providers (Paperback): Jamal M Al Khatib Arab American Children with Disabilities - Considerations for Teachers and Service Providers (Paperback)
Jamal M Al Khatib
R704 Discovery Miles 7 040 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Despite a proliferation of special education literature on racial minorities over the past three decades, research and writing on Arab American children with disabilities remain remarkably sparse. This book fills that gap by promoting culturally appropriate services for Arab American children with disabilities. Special education and service providers in the U.S.-including school psychologists, rehabilitation counselors, and social workers-are increasingly likely to work with Arab Americans with disabilities. By focusing on this marginalized minority population, Al Khatib provides much-needed context and direction for service providers and researchers working with the Arab American community. Offering an overview of special education and the rights guaranteed under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), this book also helps Arab American families understand the special education process and advocate for their children.
