How can teachers identify and deal with barriers to learning in an insightful and systemic way? What sort of educational, contextual, social and developmental barriers face students in a developing society? Educational Psychology in social context: Ecosystemic applications in southern Africa is a tried-and-tested textbook which applies educational psychology - and, specifically, a unifying ecosystemic framework - to aid teachers and other educators to enhance the learning experience of students in a developing society. The book is relevant to both undergraduate and postgraduate study in either pre-service or in-service teacher education. It can be used for courses in educational psychology in programmes such as B.Ed., Bed (Hons) and PGCE and as a handbook for teachers in the fields. The 5th edition continues to build on the tradition of excellence that this book has established in the market. New to this edition, includes sections on bibliotherapy, positive psychology and a considerable extension of the current section on emotional difficulties. Practical guidelines on how to accommodate different learning needs and styles in the classroom have been expanded, as in addition to behavioural challenges, this is a major challenge for teachers in our schools, particularly where they are taking inclusion seriously.

Call on the Wind tells the story of Isaak and Liesa, young people growing up in a small Griqua fishing village on the Tsitsikamma coast. Isaak and Liesa struggle with their life choices and their love for one another. Does Isaak leave the villiage and become a musician, or does he feel too responsible for the livelihood of the village? Can Liesa acknowledge her true feelings for Isaak? The backdrop to their story is that of the fate of their community, and their struggle for survival. Together with its historical truth, the characters of the community and the flavour of their interactions, this novel carries an authentic and uniquely South African ring to it. David Donald has woven an exciting story of tragedy and bravery, of action and poignancy, and ultimately one of a strong spirit of resilience. David Donald is an Emeritus Professor of Educational Psychology of the University of Cape Town.

Richard and Kaunu are the central characters in the story of a family group of Drakensberg Bushmen and a British farming family who, in the mid-1800's, had emigrated to the Colony of Natal. Spanning a period of roughly ten years, the story interweaves the experiences of both families. With mounting tension, the parallel events and hardships that each family go through, lead inexorably towards the point where they clash - with devastating consequences for them both.

T O The Randalls Introduction by Carl Sandburg THAN an incident and rather like an event it is when at last there arrives a competent book-length biography of William H. Hern don. In the Lincolniana field of students, scholars, authorities and col lectors, one has heard, for years on years, so often the query, When is someone going to do the life of Bill Herndon Isnt it about time Now the question is out. A young man little beyond the middle twen ties in age has toiled and wrought and gone to all the known places where the answers may be and any future scrupulous biographer of Lincolns law partner will have to go to the same places, use the same source materials, and arrive at much the same end result of judgments and portraiture. And that a young man born and raised in the State of Mississippi, on a plantation of thousands of acres, with more than a score of Negro field hands, should migrate to Illinois and in the course of his scholar ship write a comprehensive and vivid study of a striding and vehement Republican agitator against slavery extension this is an American phenomenon and some sort of betokening. The author tells us, This isthe first book-length biography of Herndon. We might add that it is a portrait in extenso of an extraor dinarily picturesque individual, a man often lovable and not infre quently wilful and cantankerous, who would have interest for us, even fascination, entirely aside from his close association with a titanic his torical figure. We may add further that we gather herein a detailed account of how one of the most strangely made of all biographies came to be written across years of weaving it piece by piece of how when at last it found a publisher it met tribulations and miseries enough to sink any ordinary book and leave it lost and forgotten of vii Introduction how the book survives and there have been twenty-five different edi tion, issues and printings. Interwoven through the winding and shad owed tale of how a book, Herndon s Lincoln, came to be made and offered to a suspicious and hazardous readership, we find the materials shaping portraits for us, living figures of men and women of the pio neers midwest prairie. The man Herndon comes bold and plain, the hovering silhouette of Lincoln in the background often moving to the fore in a speaking likeness and reality. And, too, occasionally we pause for a fleeting glimpse of, and a surmise about, the author of Lincolns Herndon, because of the spirit of his interpretations or presentations of stormy clashing disputative actors in the dramas of democracy in a new and young country. Where possible or practical Donald lets his narrative tell itself. He quotes much. With skill he lets the chosen significant lines from let ters, diaries, journals, newspapers, give light on acts and motives. When he does analyze or probe, it is after he has setforth fact and probability in formidable and unprecedented measure. Then as to his personal finding or viewpoint you can take it or leave it. Many will say of his work that it is the most sympathetic approach yet made to Hern don, the man, the witness, on a large scale and with relentless examina tion of all available materials bearing on the role of Herndon as either a deliberate and sloven myth-maker or an anxious and conscientious truth-teller...

Good supervision is crucial to the training of any therapist. Yet most who are asked to supervise receive little instruction in how best to proceed. What is missing is a theory and technique of supervision that can help them be effective teachers, no matter from what mental health discipline they come. The authors of this book, who have supervised in a variety of educational settings and have taught students from a wide range of mental health disciplines, now provide a theoretical and technical framework for understanding and deepening the supervisory process. They clearly describe phases of supervision (from the opening session to termination), its goals, and the nature and purpose of a number of supervisory interventions. They delineate modes of thinking that are essential to being a good therapist and discuss how best to foster them. They demonstrate how supervision can be intimate, personal, and honest without becoming a form of therapy. Through clinical vignettes, they show how to diagnose impediments to learning and describe strategies for overcoming them. While providing an interesting history of supervision and a portrait of Freud as supervisor, they focus mainly on how newer theories such as self psychology, intersubjectivity, and an interactive two-person psychology influence the practice of supervision.

Occasionally a book that begins as a work of scholarship becomes a great and profoundly moving human document. This life of Lincoln's friend, law partner and biographer is such a book. It has a two-fold focus: on the "Abe Lincoln in Illinois" days--the days of Lincoln's courting, arguing, and politicking; and on Herndon's long and wracking fight to publish his biography in the face of poverty, drive, and disillusionment, it achieves the impetus and grandeur of tragedy. David Donald has given us a magnificent account of how a country lawyer became a national figure and what happened to the friend he left behind when he became president. An impressive study of mythmakers and mythmaking, this biography of William Henry Herndon, a man intimately connected to movements for abolition of slavery, temperance, religious liberalism, currency reform, and women's rights is also a sweeping picture of America just before, during, and after the Civil War.
