How to capitalize on change -- as a key feature of modern living - - is the central theme of this work.

Although a psychology text, "People and Change" offers an unusually broad scope.

The ability of the individual to adapt to change through self-knowledge is stressed throughout this important book.

Are Children Reliable Witnesses? (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2022): Ben F. Cotterill Are Children Reliable Witnesses? (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2022)
Ben F. Cotterill
R1,235 Discovery Miles 12 350 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

"If a child falls victim to a crime, or becomes witness to it, they may well be questioned by the police. Perhaps even tasked with selecting a suspect from a line-up. But how reliable can a child be under such strenuous circumstances? In this book, Dr. Ben Cotterill explores practices and influences that can increase or decrease the accuracy of children's testimonies. Memory mechanisms and general developmental factors behind the capability of child witnesses are outlined, demonstrating their ability to describe or identify. Factors that affect jurors' perception of said children are also looked into in detail.There have been many instances in which poor interviewing practices with children led to false imprisonments. Said occurrences demonstrate how both situational factors and individual differences can potentially compromise children's eyewitness performance. Based upon what we now understand, can recommendations be made, so that, in a court of law, innocence is the key to achieving justice?

Integrative Psychotherapy - A Mindfulness- and Compassion-Oriented Approach (Paperback): Gregor Zvelc, Masa Zvelc Integrative Psychotherapy - A Mindfulness- and Compassion-Oriented Approach (Paperback)
Gregor Zvelc, Masa Zvelc
R1,048 Discovery Miles 10 480 Ships in 9 - 17 working days

Integrative psychotherapy is a groundbreaking book where the authors present mindfulness- and compassion-oriented integrative psychotherapy (MCIP) as an integration of relational psychotherapy with the practice and research of mindfulness and compassion. The book elucidates an approach which is holistic and based on evidence-based processes of change related to the main dimensions of human experience. In this approach, mindfulness and compassion are viewed as meta-processes of change that are used within an attuned therapeutic relationship to create a powerful therapeutic model that provides transformation and growth. The authors offer an exciting perspective on intersubjective physiology and the mutual connection between the client's and therapist's autonomic nervous systems. Comprised of creatively applied research, the book will have an international appeal amongst psychotherapists/counsellors from different psychotherapy traditions and also students with advanced/postgraduate levels of experience.

The Criminalisation and Exploitation of Children in Care - Multi-Agency Perspectives (Paperback): Julie Shaw, Sarah Greenhow The Criminalisation and Exploitation of Children in Care - Multi-Agency Perspectives (Paperback)
Julie Shaw, Sarah Greenhow
R1,205 Discovery Miles 12 050 Ships in 9 - 17 working days

The Criminalisation and Exploitation of Children in Care explores the results of a recent qualitative study, which focused on multi-agency responses to children and young people in residential and foster care who were at risk of criminalisation and/or exploitation and abuse. Recent high-profile reports have highlighted an urgent need for effective multi-agency work to tackle the issues of criminalisation and exploitation of children and young people in care. However, progress to date has been slow, and it is clear that there is still some way to go before effective multi-agency working becomes widespread. In response, this book draws upon the experiences and perspectives of practitioners from a sample of co-located Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hubs, as well as the latest research, theory and policy developments in the field. In doing so, it explores both the benefits and challenges of multi-agency working and concludes with recommendations for future policy and practice. This timely study will be of great interest to students and scholars of criminology, criminal justice, policing studies, social work, health and childhood studies. It will also be a valuable tool for practitioners and policymakers in the criminal, youth justice and social service arenas.

The Politics of Latino Faith - Religion, Identity, and Urban Community (Hardcover): Catherine E. Wilson The Politics of Latino Faith - Religion, Identity, and Urban Community (Hardcover)
Catherine E. Wilson
R2,869 Discovery Miles 28 690 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

aInsightfully argued and deeply researched, The Politics of Latino Faith offers a compelling look at one of the most important yet undervalued aspects of Hispanic life in the United States. Catherine Wilson combines vivid descriptive writing, a strong narrative voice and clear theoretical analysis to produce a valuable book.a
--Roberto Suro, author of "Strangers Among Us: Latino Lives in a Changing America"

"There is simply much that we do not know about faith-based organizations, their nature, and how they go about providing social services. . . . This book deals directly with a topic that is virtually virgin territory. A much needed contribution."
--Stephen Monsma, author of "When Sacred and Secular Mix: Religious Non-Profit Organizations and Religious Money"

With the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign in full swing, many pundits and commentators are striving to understand the political behavior of Latinos--the largest minority in the United States and a key voting block that presidential candidates in this election and beyond will have to learn how to secure. As Catherine E. Wilson makes clear in The Politics of Latino Faith, not only are Latinos a religious community, but their religious institutions, in particular faith-based organizations, inform daily life and politics in Latino communities to a considerable degree.

Timely and discerning, The Politics of Latino Faith is a unique scholarly work that addresses this increasingly powerful political force. As Wilson shows, Latino religious institutions, whether congregations or faith-based organizations, have long played a significant role in the often poor and urban communities where Latinos live.

Concentrating onurban areas in the South Bronx, Philadelphia, and Chicago, she provides a systematic look at the spiritual, social, and cultural influence Latino faith-based organizations have provided in American life. Wilson offers keen insight into how pivotal religious identity is in understanding Latino social and political involvement in the United States. She also shows the importance of understanding the theological underpinnings at work in these organizations in order to predict their political influences.

Next the work presents issues surrounding infertility, and explores identity development with a following chapter on search and reunion issues. The fifth chapter discusses adoption support, both historically and with current developments and issues. The work then examines ethics and offers a model for ethical adoption practice. The final chapter explores treatment issues from a family systems perspective.

Small, PhD, Executive Director of the Walker Home and School, Needham, Massachusetts (from the Preface).
