Inviting Understanding: A Portrait of Invitational Rhetoric is an
authoritative reference work designed to provide a comprehensive
overview of the theory of invitational rhetoric, developed
twenty-five years ago by Sonja K. Foss and Cindy L. Griffin. This
theory challenges the conventional conception of rhetoric as
persuasion and defines rhetoric as an invitation to understanding
as a means to create a relationship rooted in equality, immanent
value, and self-determination. Rather than celebrating
argumentation, division, and winning, invitational rhetoric
encourages rhetors to listen across differences, to engage in
dialogue, and to try to understand positions different from their
own. Organized into the three categories of foundations,
extensions, and applications, Inviting Understanding is a
compilation of published articles and new essays that explore and
expand the theory. The book provides readers with access to a wide
range of resources about this revolutionary theory in areas such as
community organizing, social justice activism, social media, film,
graffiti, institutional and team decision making, communication and
composition pedagogy, and interview protocols. Current cultural,
social, and political divisions in the United States and across the
world suggest that the principles and practices of invitational
rhetoric are sorely needed, and a volume that demonstrates its
application in various contexts may inspire readers to put it into
practice in the contexts in which they work and live.

When you know what I know, you'll wish you didn't. It's not the
kind of thing you can talk about at school, or at the park, or
anywhere, with a new friend or an old one, or even with your
sister. (She's too little.) But it's everywhere once you know, once
you can't not know. In your face, under your eyelids. If you turn
your back on it, there it is anyway. One day after school, in the
basement on the couch, Tori's uncle did something bad. Afterwards,
Tori did the right thing, and told her mom. But even if it was the
brave thing to do, her mom still didn't believe her at first. Her
grandma still takes his side. And Tori doesn't want anyone
else--even her best friend--to know what happened. Over the course
of the following year, Tori finds herself battling mixed
emotions--anger, shame, and sadness--as she deals with the trauma.
But with the help of her mom, little sister Taylor, her best friend
and others, Tori will find a way to have the last word.
Die multisystemische Therapie (MST) ist ein empirisch abgesichertes
Verfahren, das als Alternative zu stationaren Behandlungskonzepten

Programmen praktiziert. In diesem Buch werden die Prinzipien der
multisystemischen Therapie erlautert. Ausserdem bekommen Leser
klare Leitlinien an die Hand: fur die Indikation und um
individuelle Interventionen bei delinquenten Jugendlichen und
Kindern zu planen und durchzufuhren."
This thesis examines the types of health care choices rural people
in Chiapas Soconusco region make within their cultural belief
system and available resources. The utilization of health care
services depends on many variables: personal beliefs, cultural
traditions, availability and access to services, and the financial
means to pay for them. The population in this study identifies
itself as campensenos, or small-scale farmers, and struggle for
survival among large agricultural businesses. By examining the
existing health infrastructure in Chiapas, Mexico, and the
traditional medicinal practices that have established themselves in
this region over time, this study questions the health care choices
people are able to make based on inconsistent availability of
medical resources. While this study is based on a very small sample
of people, it shows a need for further research in this
understudied coastal region of Chiapas.
Introduction to Psychological Anthropology: Critical Writing on
Theoretical Developments and Contemporary Issues provides readers
with a curated collection of articles that introduce the basic
tenets of psychological anthropology. The text presents the basic
history of the discipline, terms, theories, and contributions from
an intellectual movement-the culture and personality movement-that
later became known as the subdiscipline of psychological
anthropology. The reader is organized into two parts. The first
part explores two separate disciplines, anthropology and
psychology, and how they eventually merged into the subdiscipline
of psychological anthropology. The second part focuses on
contemporary psychological issues throughout the human lifespan. It
touches on subjects such as notions of self and personhood,
childrearing, emotions, mental health and mental illness, aging,
and death. Introduction to Psychological Anthropology not only
explains a subdiscipline with a complicated and at times
controversial history, but also explores the delicate cognitive
parts of what makes us human and enables us to live in complicated
social systems. The reader is ideal for introductory courses within
the discipline.
This practical manual is based on extensive research and the
collaboration of hundreds of community-based therapists. It
provides step-by-step guidelines for implementing contingency
management (CM) -- one of the most effective treatments for
substance abuse -- with adolescents and their caregivers.
Strategies are detailed for assessing substance use disorders,
developing individualized cognitive and behavioral interventions,
using behavioral contracts and contingencies to reinforce
abstinence, and overcoming frequently encountered treatment
roadblocks. Extensive sample dialogues illustrate what CM looks
like in action. In a convenient large-size format, the book
includes over three dozen reproducible handouts, checklists, and
forms.
