From the 'nothing works' maxim of the 1970s to evidence-based
interventions to challenge recidivism and promote pro-social
behavior, psychological therapy has played an important role in
rehabilitation and risk reduction within forensic settings in
recent years. And yet the typical group therapy model isn't always
the appropriate path to take. In this important new book, the aims
and effectiveness of individual therapies within forensic settings,
both old and new, are assessed and discussed. Including
contributions from authors based in the UK, North America, Europe,
Australia and New Zealand, a broad range of therapies are covered,
including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mentalisation Based
Therapy, Schema Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and
Compassion Focussed Therapy. Each chapter provides: an assessment
of the evidence base for effectiveness; the adaptations required in
a forensic setting; whether the therapy is aimed at recidivism or
psychological change; the client or patient characteristics it is
aimed at; a case study of the therapy in action. The final section
of the book looks at ethical issues, the relationship between
individual and group-based treatment, therapist supervision and
deciding which therapies and therapists to select. This book is
essential reading for probation staff, psychologists, criminal
justice and liaison workers and specialist treatment staff. It will
also be a valuable resource for any student of forensic or clinical
psychology.
Why do so many organizations fail to mobilize the social networks
of employees to respond to disruptions, innovate, and change? In
Digital Relationships, Jason Davis argues that individual and
organizational interests about networking can come out of alignment
such that the network ties that individuals form are
organizationally sub-optimal for achieving their most ambitious
goals. Developing a new perspective about networks and
organizations, he explains through network agency theory how
network problems emerge, the role of digital technology adoption by
organizations in amplifying misalignment, and the capacity of
managers and function of the executive to resolve agency problems
and mitigate their impact. Drawing on over a decade of qualitative
research in US, Asian, and European "big tech" companies and new
analytical and computational modeling, this book offers new
interpretations and solutions to the pathologies that emerge from
organizationally detrimental networking behaviors and in the face
of managerial interventions.
Forensic practitioners work in a diverse range of settings, with a
wide variety of groups and with a large number of agencies. Their
work, whilst rewarding, is challenging, demanding and often
undertaken in highly stressful situations. Ensuring that the
workforce is trained and supported is essential in order to
maintain skilful, knowledgeable, responsive and effective
practitioners. Whilst training, self-directed learning and peer
support all play a role, the need for supervision for practitioners
is increasingly being recognised. This text is aimed at all those
working in forensic settings who have direct contact with the
perpetrators and victims of crime and is written for both those new
to supervision and those with many years' experience. Specific
chapters focus on knowledge and skills for the supervisor and the
supervisee and on those responsible for developing supervision
systems for staff groups. This includes a focus on risk,
boundaries, approaches to learning and the evidence base for
supervision practice. Attention is also given to developing
supervision competence and combatting harmful or 'lousy'
supervision. The core text is supplemented by ten Special Topics
addressing single issues commonly faced in supervision practice,
such as ethical issues and reflective practice. The combination of
comprehensive chapters and a focus on specific issues through ten
Special Topics provides those involved in supervision with an
essential resource. This book is essential reading for supervisors,
students, managers and researchers who are involved or interested
in the supervision process.

In this compelling book, professional educator, Jason Davis, shares
his insider perspective about why, despite millions of tax dollars
and decades of school reform, we are no closer to achieving
meaningful change in our nation's public schools. Readers follow
Davis on a first-person journey through the realities of the public
school system punctuated by shocking and sometimes horrific true
stories about the lives of students, teachers, and families with
whom he has worked. Along the way, he dispels the faulty
assumptions that have been perpetuated by the media and politicians
about why America's children are being left behind, and leaves the
reader with a deeper understanding of the true crisis facing our
schools and our children. Faulty Assumptions is a poignant,
accessible, and fresh look at the world of public school education
guaranteed to challenge the current dialogue about where America
should be looking for answers to the nation's education woes.
Wronged and Wounded: Choosing Forgiveness in a World of Other
Options explores the practice of forgiveness in our personal lives,
in the life of the Christian community, and as a foundational
component of our Christian witness. The goals of this book are to
help you grow personally in your understanding of Christian
forgiveness and to assist you in equipping others to choose
forgiveness in a world of other options. Operating from a Biblical
perspective, this book will help you think through some important
questions, like: Am I supposed to forgive that person? If I am
still hurt by what someone did, does that mean I have not forgiven?
Do I have to wait for the person who wronged me to ask for
forgiveness before I forgive them? What distinguishes Christian
forgiveness from other messages of forgiveness? What do I do when a
brother or sister refuses to forgive me?
Lady Baldwin is beautiful, desirable, conniving, yet sometimes
kind, extremely generous, and very thoughtful. Loved and hated in
equal measure, it's anyone's guess as to who would ultimately kill
her. Bored with her husband Lord Baldwin and his stuffy friends,
she prefers her exciting show biz pals and the thrills of illicit
sex. As a part of the English Aristocracy, she is very rich,
surrounded by servants, totally outrageous, and she likes to
control everyone's life. Told by a real English Butler with a
certain degree of true English humor, this murder story will give
you an insight into life in a wealthy, country mansion.
This is an inspiring, beautiful story, about a fascinating woman,
Mara Galaty, told by Mara herself, her family and her friends
around the world, as events in her life unfolded. Filled with
pictures, comments and the exchanges that helped them all deal with
her illness, it has inspired even those who did not know her. It is
told with affection and humor, based on love, friendship and
optimism. It is also a guide for all of us in keeping active, being
happy, continuing to travel and learn, working for lofty goals and
enjoying life even while dealing with cancer or helping family or
friends who are living with cancer. The Blog first introduces us to
Mara in August 2007, when she reports "straight from the horse's
mouth" that she has been evacuated from her USAID post in Amman,
Jordan to the Sloan Kettering Hospital in New York for treatment
after MRI tests showed she had metastatic melanoma cancer lesions
(tumors) on multiple sites in her brain. The Blog entries and the
stories told by her family and friends at her memorial services
around the world attest to a life lived fully, with generosity,
compassion and joy. From the accounts of her birth in Germany,
through her escapades at school, her adventures in the Peace Corps,
her battle with virulent breast cancer at the age of 32, and the
international challenges she met working in Mercy Corps and USAID,
you will find yourself laughing and crying, unable to put the book
down. Mara lived life to the fullest. She was only 37 when she
died, but she accomplished as much as most do in 90 years. Mara's
upbeat attitude and that of her world-wide web of family and
friends enabled her to pursue the lifestyle she wanted, allowing
her to enjoy her life to the last day. Many of the contributors to
the blog as well as the medical and health professionals who have
read it recommend this book to people facing tough cancer and
life-style decisions. Mara's example and her positive outlook are
certain to help cancer patients aspire to a quality of life they
might not have thought possible.
