Visions of Development is a path-breaking and original volume,
examining concepts and perceptions of human development through a
unique synthesis of empirical and philosophical work. The author
builds on the foundations of Sen and Nussbaum's capability
approach, now at the forefront of development studies. The book
aims to identify and clarify academic concepts of development, to
consider how poor people themselves perceive 'development' and
confronts abstract concepts of development with the views of
ordinary people. It represents the first systematic attempt to
construct a development ethic (list of valuable capabilities) that
is based directly on the values and experiences of the poor. David
Clark considers the case for viewing development in terms of the
expansion of human capabilities instead of some narrow conception
of utility or opulence; and develops a non-paternalistic
methodology for forging a development ethic that can respect the
values of all people. He then proceeds to develop an account of
human development based on the perceptions of people living in both
rural and urban locations in South Africa - Murraysburg and
Wallacedene respectively. A multidisciplinary and accessible text,
this challenging book will appeal not only to scholars and
researchers in development economics but also economic geographers,
social scientists and political economists. It will also be of
great interest to policymakers and practitioners.

Stop disruptive, negative thoughts at their root with a new method
of mental control from one of the most distinguished figures in the
field of CBT Our mind is always active, capable of generating
free-floating thoughts that are entirely disconnected from each
other and may have little relevance to our current situation.
Sometimes these thoughts take on a darker, more negative tone
because they're triggered by a stressful or problematic situation.
These unwanted intrusive thoughts play an important role in the
persistence and severity of anxiety and depression. They often
trigger other forms of distressing thought such as obsessive
thinking, worry, rumination or pathological guilt. Based on new
findings on the nature of mental control, this book targets
negative, intrusive thoughts with therapeutic strategies based on
cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). You will learn: * How our
minds become unsettled by doubts and unwanted thoughts * Strategies
for developing greater willpower and self-control * Control skills
for self-discovery, mental de-toxification and mindful
self-acceptance * Way to maximise positive intrusions and be
mindfully accepting of yourself Published by New Harbinger in the
USA under the title The Anxious Thoughts Workbook: Skills to
Overcome the Unwanted Intrusive Thoughts that Drive Anxiety,
Obsessions and Depression

These experts analyze the cognitive models of psychopathology on which these treatments are based; identify the clinical and conceptual problems; and make specific recommendations for addressing them. The range of disorders covered includes depression, anxiety, panic disorder, schizophrenia, OCD, personality disorders, eating disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, conduct problems and addiction.

depression, generalized anxiety disorder, insomnia, and sexual
offending. Highlighting important questions for future research,
each chapter also discusses practical implications for assessment
and treatment. Clearly organized and tightly edited, this book will
inform the work of researchers, students, and clinicians alike.
