A Survival Kit for Doctoral Students and Their Supervisors offers a
hands-on guide to both students and supervisors on the doctoral
journey, helping make the process as enjoyable as it is productive.
Drawing on research from peer learning groups, contributed
narratives, and their own programs, the authors emphasize the value
of the doctoral partnership and the ways in which shared knowledge
can facilitate a rewarding journey for students and their advisors.
Grounded in theoretical and empirical material, the book helps
participants navigate the doctoral process with personal stories
and examples from a variety of researchers. A discussion of common
challenges and the inclusion of practical tips further enhance the
book's diverse range of helpful resources.
The legendary artist Pablo Picasso took baths when he was in need
of new ideas for his work. Other people take walks in the park or
visit an art gallery or watch Youtube - in an attempt to spark
their creativity and imagination. This book inspires us to work
harder with our creativity - both as individuals and companies.
Being creative is now critical in our careers, but most people
regard creativity as somewhat mystical, slippery and a rare entity.
In fact, all of us are capable of creativity - if that is what we
want. Often, it is about having the right mindset and finding the
right spark to set off your creativity. This book presents a unique
Scandinavian perspective on creativity, and contains wonderful
stories of people from different backgrounds - opera, architecture,
science, art, drugs, sport, toys, film, technology - and how they
find and use their creativity. In doing so, it provides an array of
inspirations and tips to help you lead a more creative and
imaginative life at work and home.
This book covers topics not commonly associated with creativity
that offer us insight into creative action as a social, material,
and cultural process. A wide range of specialists within the
humanities and social sciences will find this interesting, as well
as practitioners who are looking for novel ways of thinking about
and doing creative work.
This book sets out a proposal for applying psychological and
educational psychology concepts to improve work with children and
young people. It also suggests how some of the criticism aimed at
pedagogical-psychology practice can be answered. In several
respects educational psychology practice seems to be in a
transition phase and could even be said to be suffering an identity
crisis: educational establishments and education policy alike are
looking for different skills than those the psychology profession
traditionally provides, and people are generally questioning the
relevance and applicability of pedagogical-psychological
counseling. The book is based on the fundamental premise that good
professional practice is contingent upon circumstances that allow
practitioners to apply their knowledge, experience and skills in
the specific encounter with a specific task. This means that the
ability to act pragmatically and creatively is, and will
increasingly be, an important skill not only for educational
psychologists, but also for psychologists in general. In other
words, psychologists must be able to contribute to tasks in new
ways and new contexts when required. Intended primarily for
students of psychology, school psychologists and other professional
groups that provide counseling in schools, the book is also a
valuable resource for the various groups that use
pedagogical-psychology tools and insights in their work with
children and young people.

Creativity — A New Vocabulary proposes a novel approach to
the way in which we talk and think about creativity. It covers a
variety of topics not commonly associated with creativity that
offer us valuable insights and open up new and exciting
possibilities for creative action. This second edition includes six
new essays which continue to challenge the traditional vocabulary
of creativity and its preference for individuals, brains,
cognition, personality, divergent thinking, insight, and problem
solving. The book proposes a more dynamic and relational
perspective that considers creativity as an embodied, social,
material, and cultural process. This book will be useful for a wide
range of specialists within the humanities and social sciences, as
well as practitioners from applied fields who are looking for novel
ways, of thinking about and doing creative work.
A volume in Advances in Cultural Psychology Series Editor: Jaan
Valsiner, Clark University Some old ideas can become very new. This
is the case of the notion of creativity in psychology.
Traditionally conceptualized in the narrow framework of the amazing
things poets, composers, painters, and scientists do, creativity
research had reached an impasse in its efforts to locate creativity
within the confines of personality characteristics. This is the
time for change. The New Look at creativity that is rooted within
the sociocultural tradition in psychology and elaborated in the
present book finds creativity in each and every moment of our
everyday lives. We are creative when we move around in the streets,
dance tango, fool around with our self-images while shopping for
clothes, or resist pre-given recipes while cooking dinners. We are
being creative even in our bedrooms where we perform the difficult
tasks of falling asleep or waking up through arrays of sleep
inducers and alarm clocks, not to speak of the time we spend in the
very state of sleep. All our actions at night-ranging from what we
later call nightmares--or dreams-are arenas of creativity even if
we may barely remember what we have done. The present monograph by
Lene Tanggaard constitutes a powerful multi-pronged exposition of
the New Look at Creativity. Its starting point is in the move to
pay attention to the processes of acting in everyday life-rather
than start from the classification of products of human actions
into classes of "creative" versus "non-creative."
