Honor and sportsmanship are terms that are increasingly becoming
thought of as quaint and passe in a world where winning is
everything. Forgetting these concepts, however, leads us to forget
why we compete in the first place. In It's How You Play the Game, a
call is made to appreciate these concepts, not just for sport, for
life itself.
If ever there were anywhere that someone who was suffering from a
mental illness or behavioral disability should expect to be
welcomed, it would be at our religious institutions. Sadly,
however, that is often not the case. In The Inherent Worth and
Dignity of ALL Individuals: Encouraging Full Participation in Our
Unitarian Universalist Congregations, Bobby Newman attempts to
create a framework for helping religious institutions to consider
the needs of people with mental illness and behavioral
disabilities, along with the needs of the rest of the congregation.
A framework is described for helping to strike a balance that will
protect the rights of all concerned, and help religious
institutions come closer to living up to their stated principles. A
KINDLE version is now available.
What it is: This is a book of warm, readable, personal, informally
written case studies, with a point, actually several points. Case
studies are always fun to read, these are no exception. Parents of
children labeled "autistic" and paraprofessionals and professionals
working with the children should find this book interesting,
informative, and encouraging, although realistic. The book is full
of examples of behavior analysis used to help the children. The
book is full of enough technical details to give parents and
workers some ideas about how to solve problems, yet those details
are presented in a way parents and paraprofessionals can understand
them, even with humor. Who's responsible for the book: the editors
are Bobby Newman, Dana Reinecke, and Leo Newman. This is the second
book of this sort that Bobby has produced, the first one based on
his own case studies, this one based on the case studies of a large
number of people, and yet these case studies keep Bobby's
easy-reading informal, humorous style. Richard W. Malott, Ph.D.

Humanism and radical behaviorism are two of today's most
anxiety-provoking systems of thought. While they have challenged
some of society's most comforting notions, each has long been
viewed as opposed to the other's practice of psychology. In this
adversarial climate of contemporary psychology, Bobby Newman's
compelling assessment in The Reluctant Alliance effectively tears
down many of the ideological walls separating these two powerful
schools of thought. He carefully researches the positions of both
camps to dispel the myths that behaviorists are "manipulators" and
humanistic psychologists are "armchair philosophers". After
examining both systems, Newman outlines their shared philosophical
and historical roots and explores such questions as: How should
psychotherapy be conducted? How is moral behavior created and
maintained? Is behaviorism inherently unethical? What forms of
education are most effective at imparting information and improving
self-concepts? As Newman points out, "It is my intention to
demonstrate that the differences between the two systems are not as
great as they are made to seem. More importantly, I will suggest
that each system contains flaws that can be corrected by combining
elements of the other". After reading The Reluctant Alliance
humanists will come to appreciate that behaviorism is not
destructive determinism, and behaviorists will learn that much of
what they hold to be true is a natural outgrowth of humanistic
thought.
