How and why does restorative practice (RP) work? This book presents the biological theory, affect script psychology (ASP), behind RP, and shows how it works in practice in different settings. ASP explains how the central nervous system triggers 'affects' which are the basis of all human motivation and emotion. The book presents a clear explanation of what ASP is, how it relates to RP, and how ASP helps practitioners to understand relationships, emotions and dynamics in their work. The chapters are based around case studies which demonstrate RP in criminal justice, organizational and education settings. They show how theory links to practice, and how having a deep understanding of the theory has helped practitioners to be successful in their work. Providing an accessible explanation of how RP works, this book will be invaluable to all RP practitioners in any setting, as well as RP students and academics.

The eternal "why" has been with us since the dawn of mankind. The oldest books in the world deal with the "why." Why do bad things happen to good people? Why do the good suffer and the evil go free? Why me? Why now? Or why not? All major religions seek to answer the questions of "why." From Job to Lao Tsu, from Buddha to Jesus, the same human condition and the same questions have stared us in the face. There are a myriad of ways to look at the mystery of life, a plethora of ways to deal with it, but the question remains the same. Why? Numerology seeks to answer the age old question by use of patterns and mathematical principles applied to time and the human Soul. These patterns do not care for rich or poor, good or evil; they simply exert their influence as a wave washing and pushing this way or that. What is done with these tides of time becomes a matter of personal choice. It is about these influences and personal choices that this work was written.
