The Pastoral Counseling Handbook - A Guide to Helping the Hurting (Paperback, New): Ruth Hetzendorfer The Pastoral Counseling Handbook - A Guide to Helping the Hurting (Paperback, New)
Ruth Hetzendorfer

Healing from past wounds requires hard work. It involves effectively examining of an individual's past, as well as remaining conscientious of the changes in his or her present behavior, thinking, and spiritual life. But what if, after all of that listening and examining, you still don't know what to say, what to do, or where to start? The Pastoral Counseling Handbook offers the much needed message of hope for the hurting and for those who desire to help them. Based on the healing work of Christ, author Ruth Hetzendorfer uses her personal experience of years of counseling to provide the steps and ideas to help you gain understanding and wisdom, and more effectively counsel others.

Clinical Sociology - Moving from Theory to Practice (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2020): Puspa Melati Wan, Abdul Halim Wan Clinical Sociology - Moving from Theory to Practice (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2020)
Puspa Melati Wan, Abdul Halim Wan
R3,365 Discovery Miles 33 650 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This lucidly written textbook covers the historical background of clinical sociology as a field and its developing trends around the world. It addresses the urgent need for sociologists to develop a clinical approach in their effort to improve society, with the emphasis that clinical sociology should complement the work of other disciplines such as clinical psychology, social work, and social anthropology. This book discusses in depth the concept of clinical sociology itself and the obligations of clinical sociologists. It fills a gap in the literature which reveals a lack of discussion and consensus on the roles and responsibilities of clinical sociologists, therefore making an important contribution to clinical sociology, and sociology, more broadly. Graduate students, practitioners and professionals in the field of clinical sociology, social work and other related disciplines will find this book very useful.

Kenneth Feinberg
R1,107 Discovery Miles 11 070 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Agent Orange, the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund, the Virginia Tech massacre, the 2008 financial crisis, and the Deep Horizon gulf oil spill: each was a disaster in its own right. What they had in common was their aftermath- each required compensation for lives lost, bodies maimed, livelihoods wrecked, economies and ecosystems upended. In each instance, an objective third party had to step up and dole out allocated funds: in each instance, Presidents, Attorneys General, and other public officials have asked Kenneth R. Feinberg to get the job done. In Who Gets What? , Feinberg reveals the deep thought that must go into each decision, not to mention the most important question that arises after a tragedy: why compensate at all? The result is a remarkably accessible discussion of the practical and philosophical problems of using money as a way to address wrongs and reflect individual worth.

Hurricane Katrina blasted the Gulf Coast in 2005, leaving an unparalleled trail of physical destruction. In addition to that damage, the storm wrought massive psychological and cultural trauma on Gulf Coast residents and on America as a whole. Details of the devastation were quickly reported-and misreported-by media outlets, and a slew of articles and books followed, offering a spectrum of socio-political commentaries and analyses. But beyond the reportage and the commentary, a series of fictional and creative accounts of the Katrina-experience have emerged in various mediums: novels, plays, films, television shows, songs, graphic novels, collections of photographs, and works of creative non-fiction that blur the lines between reportage, memoir, and poetry. The creative outpouring brings to mind Salman Rushdie's observation that, "Man is the storytelling animal, the only creature on earth that tells itself stories to understand what kind of creature it is." This book accepts the urge behind Rushdie's formula: humans tell stories in order to understand ourselves, our world, and our place in it. Indeed, the creative output on Katrina represents efforts to construct a cohesive narrative out of the wreckage of a cataclysmic event. However, this book goes further than merely cataloguing the ways that Katrina narratives support Rushdie's rich claim. This collection represents a concentrated attempt to chart the effects of Katrina on our cultural identity; it seeks to not merely catalogue the trauma of the event but to explore the ways that such an event functions in and on the literature that represents it. The body of work that sprung out of Katrina offers a unique critical opportunity to better understand the genres that structure our stories and the ways stories reflect and produce culture and identity. These essays raise new questions about the representative genres themselves. The stories are efforts to represent and understand the human condition, but so are the organizing principles that communicate the stories. That is, Katrina-narratives present an opportunity to interrogate the ways that specific narrative structures inform our understanding and develop our cultural identity. This book offers a critical processing of the newly emerging and diverse canon of Katrina texts.

This book introduces policy and shows how it has changed and evolved over time, how it reflects changes in society and how it is applied to everyday practice.

In this book we considered new territory for educational leadership by looking to music for lessons and inspiration that may inform the next generation of schools leaders. Each chapter focuses on an artist or group whose work serves to refine, extend, and challenge our thinking in regards to educational leadership. You will find a vast array of musical forms of expression analyzed and described by an equally diverse collection of educational leadership scholars and practitioners. There may be some who question the academic appropriateness or relevance of a text such as this one. Our response is that part of our ongoing mission should be to break ourselves out of academic silos and forge meaningful connections between seemingly disparate disciplines. Furthermore, educational leadership stands to gain more by drawing from the arts and specifically musical influences. Finally, music is an obvious part of most of our lives; why not explore the ways in which it impacts us on an academic level and not just a personal level? In sum, we ask that as you read the chapters of this book, you reflect on your own musical tastes and favorite artists.

R596 Discovery Miles 5 960 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

"Covalent Counsel: In Pursuit Of The Ultimate Intimate Spiritual Experience" is a bold and provocative spiritual direction for personal transformation that focuses solely on the accomplished work and prevailing power of Christ. The author/psychologist offers a clear and ever-present spiritual paradigm for counseling regarding intimacy with God and others. His four stages of covalence are groundbreaking for those who seek Christ and yearn for a deeper knowledge and experience of him. His biblically based presentation of spiritual healing and forgiveness in Christ shatter old notions on how to mend relationships. Knowing the power of "Christ in you" will cause your heart to leap for joy. The author stands on the biblically based belief that all love, power, faith, and hope are found in God through Christ. His "five life and death questions" elevate us to a higher level of spiritual thinking regarding the notion of death and life after death. Passionate about Christ as the center of relationships, the author offers greater hope for living in a dark and perverted world.
