Kevin William Grant examines the cognitive processes that produce
metaphors in psychotherapy. The "I-Ching Task" is the measure of
metaphor production applied in this research inquiry. Two cognitive
processes are hypothesized to be necessary for the production of a
metaphor. The first hypothesized cognitive process is
sensory-imaginal processing, where attention is concentrated into
one's internal experiencing and sensory awareness to form sensory
impressions or sensory images. The second type of processing is
called integration-synthesis processing, and this is hypothesized
to work in parallel with sensory-imaginal processing.
Integration-synthesis processing functions to combine conflicting
or contradictory elements into an integrated whole. Metaphor is the
meeting point of these processes, and all of them are important in
the production of metaphor in psychotherapy. Revised and updated
from the first edition published in 1991.

Reporting War and Conflict brings together history, theory and
practice to explore the issues and obstacles involved in the
reporting of contemporary war and conflict. The book examines the
radical changes taking place in the working practices and
day-to-day routines of war journalists, arguing that managing risk
has become central to modern war correspondence. How individual
reporters and news organisations organise their coverage of war and
conflict is increasingly shaped by a variety of personal,
professional and institutional risks. The book provides an
historical and theoretical context to risk culture and the work of
war correspondents, paying particular attention to the changing
nature of technology, organisational structures and the role of
witnessing. The conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria are
examined to highlight how risk and the calculations of risk vary
according to the type of conflict. The focus is on the relationship
between propaganda, censorship, the sourcing of information and the
challenges of reporting war in the digital world. The authors then
move on to discuss the arguments around risk in relation to gender
and war reporting and the coverage of death on the battlefield.
Reporting War and Conflict is a guide to the contemporary changes
in warfare and the media environment that have influenced war
reporting. It offers students and researchers in journalism and
media studies an invaluable overview of the life of a modern war
correspondent.

The work from Chick-fil-A entrepreneur and rare triple-franchisee
Kevin Williams was written as part-employee handbook,
part-operating manual for life, Irrational Kindness flips
traditional wisdom on its head and gives a different lens through
which to look at life. Often the idea of being irrational is
smeared with negative connotations. It can sound illogical,
senseless, unjustifiable, or groundless. It may even represent
ludicrous and mad behavior! But Kevin Williams argues that being
irrational can be just the opposite. And it is the most positive,
inspiring, and empowering way to be. Being irrational has to do
with thinking outside the box way outside. It has to do with
viewing life as a journey and still being willing to reverse the
route, shake things up, or flip the map upside down. Why? Not just
to be different, but to make a difference. Irrational Kindness can
serve as a harmonious reminder that one's hopes and dreams do not
have to be derailed not by their fears, their pasts, or by people
who make them feel like they have to know everything to be
successful, or even just to get started. Throughout its pages,
Kevin provides the inspiration everyone needs to favor
understanding over being understood and prioritize kindness toward
themselves as well as others over everything.

the successes, the emerging new applications and the strategies
that inform them. The authors interviewed nearly 70 leading

essential guide for entertainment executives as well as those
involved in retailing, the hotel industry, mobile communications,

This book takes a fresh look at the history of war reporting to
understand how new technology, new ways of waging war and new media
conditions are changing the role and work of today's war
correspondent. Focussing on the mechanics of war reporting and the
logistical and institutional pressures on correspondents, the book
further examines the role of war propaganda, accreditation and news
management in shaping the evolution of the specialism. Previously
neglected conflicts and correspondents are reclaimed and wars
considered as key moments in the history of war reporting such as
the Crimean War (1854-56) and the Great War (1914-18) are
re-evaluated. The use of objectivity as the yardstick by which to
assess the performance of war correspondents is questioned. The
emphasis is instead placed on war as a messy business which
confronts reporters and photographers with conditions that
challenge the norms of professional practice. References to the
'demise of the war correspondent' have accompanied the growth of
the specialism since the days of William Howard Russell, the
so-called father of war reporting. This highlights the fragile
nature of this sub-genre of journalism and emphasises that
continuity as much as change characterises the work of the war
correspondent. A thematically organised, historically rich
introduction, this book is ideal for students of journalism, media
and communication.

This text is a thorough introduction to the role, importance and
power of the mass media in contemporary British society. The
authors examine the historical development of the mass media,
issues of ownership and the roots of its power in the public and
political spheres. Contemporary issues surrounding today's media
are also addressed. What is the role of the audience? How do people
take pleasure from media culture? What are the issues surrounding
the news, advertising, public services broadcasting, the shaping of
public understanding, censorship, violence and "moral panics"? The
authors also look towards the future, considering prospects for a
global media and the possible effects of the information
superhighway.
"Kevin Williams has authored an account of "foreign" correspondence
and international journalism that is the most
comprehensively-sourced, inclusive, contextualized, timely and
critical in its field. At last, we have an account that
acknowledges that the largest employers of "foreign" correspondents
for nearly two hundred years have been and continue to be the news
agencies; that the occupation is rooted in a history of
imperialism, post-colonialism and commercialization, whose vestiges
today are all too apparent; that the impacts of so-called "new
media" on the amount, range and quality of international news,
while significant, are less dramatic and less positive than
commonly supposed." - Oliver Boyd-Barrett, Bowling Green State
University, Ohio What is the future of the foreign correspondent -
is there one? Tracing the historical development of international
reporting, Kevin Williams examines the organizational structures,
occupational culture and information environment in which it is
practiced to explore the argument that foreign correspondence is
becoming extinct in the globalized world. Mapping the
institutional, political, economic, cultural, and historical
context within which news is gathered across borders, this book
reveals how foreign correspondents are adapting to new global and
commercial realities in how they gather, adapt and disseminate
news. Lucid and engaging, the book expertly probes three global
models of reporting - Anglo-American, European and the developing
world - to lay bare the forces of technology, commercial constraint
and globalization that are changing how journalism is practiced and
understood. Essential reading for students of journalism, this is a
timely and thought-provoking book for anyone who wishes to fully
grasp the core issues of journalism and reporting in a global
context.
