Classical political economy rests on the assumption that the market and the family are overlapping and mutually dependent realms, dominated in turn by economic men and domestic women. Brian Cooper explores the role of economic theory in 'normalizing' the family in the first half of the nineteenth century. Drawing on a wide range of sources - novels, books on etiquette and statistical sources, as well as works of economics - the book examines the impacts of these different forms on contemporary debate. eBook available with sample pages: 0203441850
In the years prior to publication, primary health care had been
gaining in significance as a setting both for research on mental
illness in the general population and for the development of new
preventive approaches in this field. The growing need for research
had received impetus from the escalating costs of hospital-based
health care, the re-structuring of health services in a number of
countries, with an increased emphasis on community care and
prevention, and the World Health Organization's 'Health for All'
campaign, in response to which a growing number of national
planning documents had been published. These developments had
already stimulated a new interest in the scope for epidemiological
and evaluative investigations based on general medical practice.
This book, originally published in 1992, consists of selected
contributions to the first international scientific meeting on this
topic, held in Toronto in 1989. It is made up of five sections,
dealing respectively with: the growth and development of a new
research field; findings of psychiatric surveys in general practice
in a number of different countries; specialist and generalist
medical care for mental illness - issues of selection and referral;
and specialist aspects of late-life mental disorders encountered in
such research. The inclusion of reports from groups of workers in
the USA, the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Italy, Finland,
Canada, Australia and other countries testifies to the rapid spread
of interest in these questions. With the exception of the first two
chapters, which sketch the background of public-health and
general-practice epidemiology, all the contributions are focused on
general practice as a field laboratory for study of the occurrence,
distribution, diagnostic composition and risk factors of
psychiatric illness in unselected populations, and present data,
largely unpublished, from the authors' own projects. These findings
confirm the importance of research in general practice as a major
growing-point of social psychiatry and provide guidelines for
further progress in the years ahead. This book will still be an
invaluable source of reference to all psychiatrists, psychologists,
general practitioners and health care professionals concerned with
mental disorders in the wider community.

Classical political economy rests on the assumption that the market
and the family are overlapping and mutually dependent realms,
dominated in turn by economic men and domestic women. Here, Brian
Cooper explores the role of economic theory in 'normalizing' the
family in the first half of the nineteenth century. Drawing on a
wide range of sources - novels, books on etiquette and statistical
sources, as well as works of economics - the book examines the
impacts of these different forms on contemporary debate and will be
of interest to historians of economic thought, feminist economics
and those interested in rhetoric and economics.
A.G. Voigt's Biblical Dogmatics is a short and comprehensive
account of Christian Theology from a Lutheran perspective. Voigt
uses the traditional Loci method of Lutheran Scholasticism, while
being sensitive to the best of early twentieth century Biblical
scholarship. He covers all major topics in Christian theology, and
does so in a manner that is readable and exegetically sensitive.
This is an ideal introduction to Lutheran Dogmatics. Among the
topics covered in this work are: Theology proper, the doctrine of
the Holy Trinity, the nature of salvation, the sacraments, the
church, and eschatology. Voigt's approach to these issues is
Biblical and Confessional.
Management Research Methods, first published in 2007, is a
comprehensive guide to the design and conduct of research in
management-related disciplines such as organisational behaviour,
human resource management, industrial relations, and the general
field of management. Specifically, the text begins by providing an
overview of the research process and in subsequent chapters
explains the major types of design used in management research
(correlational field studies, experimental and quasi-experimental
designs, case studies, historical analysis, and action research).
There are also chapters that describe the methods of data
collection (interviews, questionnaires, documentation and
observation) commonly employed by management researchers. In
addition, the text examines the issues of reliability and validity,
the construction of multi-item scales, and the methods of
quantitative and qualitative analysis. The text concludes with a
practical guide explaining how to report research findings and a
discussion of the ethical issues in the conduct and practice of
research.
