This book explores the discipline of psychology through in-depth
dialogues with scholars who have lived at the turbulent edges of
mainstream psychology in the USA, and who have challenged the most
cherished theoretical frameworks. It includes researchers whose
work has been widely esteemed in recent decades, but has ultimately
not been taken up to reconstitute the theoretical direction of the
field. This volume chronicles perspectives from select scholars on
the current states of their respective areas of the field, their
understanding of how their work has been metabolized, and their
concerns about the conceptual frames that currently set the
theoretical boundaries of the discipline. These authors demand a
reinterpretation of thresholds to allow for a less monological
emphasis in the adoption of particular frameworks, and to
demonstrate historical, social, economic and political consequences
of their chosen frameworks. The contents of the volume will assist
theoreticians and clinicians in their understanding of how
particular kinds of knowledge are determined, accepted, and
produced in the field at large.
This book offers a different way to measure human resources'
strategic value to company success, by thinking about the
contributions of individuals to business success. It makes the case
that the role of human resources is increasingly important, as
company assets become more intangible and reliant on intellectual
capital, and provides a framework that focuses on identifying where
human resources issues are performance drivers - or impediments -
to strategy implementation. The guide develops a measurement system
that provides valid, reliable indicators to human resources'
contribution to the success of stategy implementation, and
ultimately to firm performance. Recommendations included are
supported by clear and persuasive examples, as well as the author's
survey of 2,800 firms.
