People Skills for Behavior Analysts provides a much-needed
introduction to the people skills needed to succeed as a behavior
analyst. Divided into two primary parts – Foundational Skills and
Specialized Skills – this book addresses an impressive breadth of
people skills, focusing on intrapersonal and interpersonal skills,
collaboration, consultation and training, leadership, and resource
development. Relying on recent evidence-based practices and
relevant literature tailored to meet the new BACB Task List,
Professional & Ethical Compliance Code, and Supervised
Independent Fieldwork requirements, the text includes contributions
from leading figures from a wide variety of applied behavior
analysis subfields to provide a truly balanced overview. The book
delves into the literature from fields related to behavior
analysis, such as counselling, psychology, graphic design,
management and education, and applies these perspectives to
behavioral theories and principles to provide students, new

The urban attentions of Pritzker Laureate Sverre Fehn (1924-2009)
are extensive, but as yet virtually unexplored. This book examines
ten select projects to illuminate Fehn's approach to the city, the
embodiment of that thinking in his designs, and the broader lessons
those efforts offer for better understanding the relationship
between architecture and urban life, with unignorable implications
for emergent urban architecture and its address of sociological and
ecological crises. Wary of large-scale planning proposals or the
erasure of existing urban patterns, Fehn offered an uncommon and
profoundly vibrant approach to urbanism at the scale of the single
architectural project. His writings, constructed buildings,
competition entries, and lectures suggest opportunities for
reinvigorating architecture's engagement with the city, and provoke
a rethinking of concepts foundational to its theorization. What is
the nature of urbanity? What is the relationship of urbanity to the
natural world? What is the role of architecture in the provision
and sustenance of urban life? While exploring this territory will
expand our knowledge of an architect central to key developments of
late modernism, the range of the book and the arguments developed
therein delineate far broader aims: a fuller understanding of
architecture's urban promise.
The past two decades have seen a rapidly growing involvement of
psychologists and psychiatrists in legal proceedings for criminal
cases, divorces, and traffic and industrial accidents. Mental
health professionals are traditionally not trained to cope with the
legal responsibilities that arise from their routine clinical work
and are eager to learn the professional skills that are needed in
forensic settings. There is presently no book which focuses
entirely on the strategies and verbal tactics employed by attorneys
who critically examine and challenge the testimony of mental health
professionals. If psychologists and psychiatrists can familiarize
themselves with the kind of questions and verbal exchanges that
take place in the courtroom, they would be better prepared to
provide their expertise in an effective manner. This book fills
that need.
Designed as a practical handbook to assist practitioners from all
mental health disciplines, it focuses on typical courtroom dialogue
between attorneys and mental health professionals who testify
regarding their psychotherapy clients and also those who are hired
by attorneys specifically to provide expert opinions. The authors,
who have extensive experience in the courtroom, offer
well-thought-out, effective responses as contrasted with impulsive
and weak answers to attorneys' queries. Actual cases are employed
to illustrate typical challenges in various legal areas, including
criminal law, child custody hearings, and personal injury cases.
Certain forensic issues such as the scientific bases of expert
opinions, the accuracy of psychological vs. medical tests, and
malingering, are emphasized throughout the chapters.
The book is based on the belief that exposure to courtroom
dialogue enhances the awareness of appropriate professional
responses to an attorney's cross-examination and greatly alleviates
fear toward a situation well-known to provoke intense levels of
anxiety. Although it is written alluding to the forensic
psychologist or psychiatrist, the strategies for the witness are
readily applicable in most instances to all mental health
professionals. Issues such as therapist bias, unconfirmed
observations, and cultural and ethnic factors are clearly relevant
to all who provide mental health services.
Here are the most recent developments in clinical research and
theory on the role of the family in understanding and treating
chronic mental and physical illnesses. Internationally respected
scholars and psychotherapists present comprehensive and
authoritative information vital to professionals who work with
families coping with severe disorders. Chronic Disorders and the
Family explores how clinicians can become more aware of the common
experiences of patients and their families struggling with chronic
psychiatric and medical disorders, thus promoting a better
understanding of the contribution of family dynamics. With its
focus on the interactional nature of psychopathology, this
important book encourages psychotherapists to compare and contrast
the various treatment perspectives and approaches available.
Specific disorders discussed include schizophrenia, clinical
depression, borderline disorders, anxiety disorders (particularly
agoraphobia), eating disorders, substance abuse, and chronic
medical illnesses.

A timely and significant examination of how Black athletes have
used their influence to create meaningful change and reform for
Black Americans. In the age of social media, athletes have a
powerful influence like never before. Many Black athletes have used
that power in positive ways, galvanizing their platforms to create
impactful educational opportunities, donate to Black social causes,
and raise political awareness on important issues. In The Black
Athlete Revolt: The Sport Justice Movement in the Age of
#BlackLivesMatter, Shaun M. Anderson examines the Black athlete's
rise in advocating for social justice and how today's athletes have
moved beyond protesting to create substantial change for Black
Americans. Anderson reflects on the history and evolution of Black
athlete activism, breaking down its importance during the civil
rights movement, the commodification of athletes during the 1990s,
and how twenty-first century athletes have utilized their wealth
and influence to create lasting societal change in the age of
#BlackLivesMatter. With fascinating portraits of notable
individuals in the history of Black activism, as well as insights
from athletes and allies who discuss the future of athlete
activism, The Black Athlete Revolt reveals the ever-evolving and
crucial role of Black athletes beyond the world of sports.
Unaccompanied migrant children are the most vulnerable group of
migrants and refugees. Their experiences, their contested legal
status in the host countries, and their treatment before, during,
and after migration call for an ethics of child migration that
places unaccompanied migrant children at the center. This volume
gathers international experts from the fields of social work,
social science, law, philosophy, and Catholic ethics. Social
science, psychological, and social work studies, analyses of US and
international law of child migration, refuge and asylum policies,
and several case studies regarding law enforcement highlight the
more recent shifts in policies both in the United States and
Europe. The current policies are confronted with two major
normative frameworks that go beyond migration laws or the
international refugee and asylum provisions: the United Nations
Convention of the Rights of the Child, and the approach of the
Catholic social ethics of migration. The authors address the
challenges of childhood under the conditions of migration: the
uprooting of lives, the journey and transition into foreign
countries and cultures, and the transition into adulthood. They
discern the legal provisions and obstacles of the immigration
process, the securitization of the borders, and the criminalization
of unaccompanied migrant children. Catholic social ethics, the
theological authors argue, must offer more than its pastoral call
for charity, solidarity, and compassion that is already in place,
inspiring multiple Catholic organizations, groups, and individuals.
The Christian emphasis on family rights and values, originating in
the story of the Holy Family, is necessary, yet insufficient when
children are separated from their parents-instead, children must be
recognized as vulnerable agents in their own right, and the moral
dilemmas families sometimes face be acknowledged. US and European
policies must be informed by the interpretation of justice, and the
principle of the common good must be held against the firewalling
of the West. As a political ethics, Catholic social ethics must
critique and reject the use of the Christian religion for
nationalist policies and depictions of migrant children as a threat
to the cultural identity of Western societies.

For all the work on disability in previous years, there had been
surprisingly little done on a subject of central importance - the
social and psychological needs of teenagers with disabilities.
Originally published in 1982, the purpose of this timely book was
both to review the literature and to report an extensive study of
the nature of the psychological problems, the quality of social
life and the adequacy of the services available to a substantial
group of teenagers with disabilities in the last years at school,
with a follow-up study of half their number a year later. The
authors show that many of these teenagers, including those with a
mild disability, are often unhappy, worried and isolated from their
peers. While the majority of the teenagers with disabilities,
whether in ordinary or special schools, made friends at school,
these friendships were rarely sustained outside. After leaving
school the degree of social isolation is as great, and often worse.
Among these teenagers the incidence of psychological problems was
three to four times higher than for a control group, the most
common being worry, depression, misery, fearfulness and lack of
self-confidence and self-esteem. For the most part, the teenagers
with disabilities were likely to be immature and ill-prepared to
cope with adult life. These findings underline the need for a
counselling service while the teenagers are still at school, and
supporting services when they have left. Like other teenagers,
those in this study were unprepared for the possibility of not
having a job, and had not thought how to organize their lives if a
job was not available or feasible. The authors draw attention to
the large proportion of people with disabilities without occupation
after leaving school, and the high dissatisfaction with day
centres. Perhaps their most important finding is the need to
rationalize the piecemeal and overlapping provision of help for
school-leavers with disabilities. In the meantime, their book
provides a wealth of information of direct use to those concerned
with teenagers with disabilities and their families, whether in
school provision, careers advice, work placement and alternatives
to work, social services, counselling, medical services and further
education. This book is a re-issue originally published in 1982.
The language used is a reflection of its era and no offence is

Pursuing the Honorable argues that our modern understanding of
honor, as seen through example of today's military training, is
deficient. To remedy this, the book returns to an understanding of
the honorable good, especially manifested for philosophers like
Aristotle and Cicero in a life of the human virtues. However,
because honor as defined by the honorable good needs to be
applicable to the 21st Century occidental world of liberal
democratic values, the study includes careful attention to those
conditions under which honor can once again become a live option.
While special attention is given to military training, including
concrete proposals for its renewal, what the study discovers
extends to many forms of human life
Early Modern Merchants as Collectors encourages the rethinking of
collecting not as an elite, often aristocratic pursuit, but rather
as a vital activity that has engaged many different groups within
society. The essays included in this volume consider merchants not
only as important collectors in their own right, as opposed to
merely agents or middlemen, but also as innovators who determined
taste. Through bringing together contributions on merchant
collectors across a wide geographical spread, including England,
The Netherlands, Venice, Moghul India, China and Japan, among other
locations, it aims to challenge the often Eurocentric view of the
study of collecting that has shaped the discipline to date. The
early modern period and its Wunderkammern formed the subject of
some of the earliest, foundational texts on collecting. This volume
expands on such previous scholarship, taking a more in-depth look
at a particular class of collectors and investigating their
motivations, social and economic circumstances, and the
intellectual ideas and purposes that informed their collecting. It
offers a fresh approach to the understanding of the role of
merchants in early modern societies and will serve as a resource to
historians of art, science, museums, culture and economics, as well
as to scholars of transcultural studies.
The wars of decolonization fought by European colonial powers after
1945 had their origins in the fraught history of imperial
domination, but were framed and shaped by the emerging politics of
the Cold War. In all the counter-insurgencies mounted against armed
nationalist risings in this period, the European colonial powers
employed locally recruited militias - styled as 'loyalists' - to
fight their 'dirty wars'. These loyalist histories have been
neglected in the nationalist narratives that have dominated the
post-decolonization landscape, and this book offers the first
comparative assessment of the role played by these allies at the
end of empire. Their experience illuminates the deeper ambiguities
of the decolonization story: some loyalists were subjected to
vengeful violence at liberation; others actually claimed the
victory for themselves and seized control of the emergent state;
while others still maintained a role as fighting units into the
Cold War. The overlap between the history of decolonization and the
emergence of the Cold War is a central theme in the studies
presented here. The collection discusses the categorization of
these 'irregular auxiliary' forces after 1945, and presents seven
case studies from five European colonialisms, covering nine former
colonies - Portugal (Angola), the Netherlands (Indonesia), France
(Algeria), Belgium (Congo) and Britain (Cyprus, Kenya, Aden, South
Yemen and Oman). This book was originally published as a special
issue of the International History Review.
Despite international congresses and international journals,
anthropologies of education differ significantly around the world.
Linguistic barriers constrain the flow of ideas, which results in a
vast amount of research on educational anthropology that is not
published in English or is difficult for international readers to
find. This volume responds to the call to attend to educational
research outside the United States and to break out of
"metropolitan provincialism." A guide to the anthropologies and
ethnographies of learning and schooling published in German,
French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Slavic languages, Japanese,
and English as a second language, show how scholars in Latin
America, Japan, and elsewhere adapt European, American, and other
approaches to create new traditions. As the contributors show,
educators draw on different foundational research and different
theoretical discussions. Thus, this global survey raises new
questions and casts a new light on what has become a too-familiar
discipline in the United States.

First published in 1977, this book focuses on the disability of
spina bifida in children. Children with the condition frequently
suffer with severe physical handicaps such as lower limb paralysis
and incontinence, as well as intellectual impairment. It can be
difficult for the families of these multiply handicapped children
and they often require the help of professionals from many
disciplines. In this book, the authors focus on practical
suggestions for alleviating many of the problems brought about by
the condition. Their suggestions are designed to help parents, as
well as professionals.
Set in motion by the disputed succession of Maria Theresa and her
husband to the lands and dignities of Emperor Charles VI, this
series of major conflicts (1740-48) involved far more than just the
fate of the Habsurgs: soon, Austria, Prussia, France, Britain,
Spain, Bavaria, Saxony and the Netherlands were embroiled in their
different but interlocking power struggles, with profound long-term
significance for Europe and beyond. The war marks the rise of
Prussia to great-power status, and the opening of the struggle
between France and Britain for maritime supremacy and colonial
empire in North America, the Caribbean and India. This book
examines the war and its consequences in their widest context.
Though international relations and the rise and fall of European
states are widely studied, little is available to students and
non-specialists on the origins, development and operation of the
diplomatic system through which these relations were conducted and
regulated. Similarly neglected are the larger ideas and aspirations
of international diplomacy that gradually emerged from its
immediate functions. This impressive survey, written by one of our
most experienced international historians, and covering the 500
years in which European diplomacy was largely a world to itself,
triumphantly fills that gap.
This new edition of the seminal and best selling history of
Europe's century of global ascendancy includes a new introduction

provides students with an invaluable guide to a notoriously complex
period. Lucidly written and constructed as a series of essays, the
text covers the political and economic balance of power, the
mechanics of government, economy and society, states, nations,
europe and the world, Armed Forces and war and romanticism,
evolution and consciousness. Reviews of the previous
