Cultural Psychology and Acculturation (Elements in Psychology and Culture)
by null Pawel BoskiThis Element offers a new theoretical model of acculturation within the general framework of cultural psychology. It is divided into four sections. First, cross-cultural and cultural orientations are contrasted. The psychology of economic migration (EARN), separate from the psychology of acculturation (LEARN), is the theme of the next section. Berry's model of acculturation preferences is discussed in section three. It serves as a contrasting reference point for the tripartite model of bicultural competencies, developed in the final section. The three interconnected components are symbols, language, and values/practices characterize both enculturation and acculturation. As a second culture learning process, acculturation is not restricted to immigration. It may take a vicarious (remote) shape in the home country. Reaching bicultural competencies and identities, in the long run, is the proposed outcome of acculturation.

Emotionale Intelligenz: Ein Ratgeber mit Übungsaufgaben für Kinder, Jugendliche und Erwachsene
by Irina Bosley Erich KastenWelches sind die Erfolgsfaktoren für ein gelingendes Leben in Beruf und Alltag? Dieser Ratgeber illustriert anschaulich und basierend auf psychologischen Theorien und Erkenntnissen, dass neben kognitiv-rationaler Intelligenz (gemeinhin als „IQ“ bezeichnet) vor allem emotionale und soziale Kompetenzen dazugehören, die essentiell für das Zusammenleben und -arbeiten mit anderen Menschen sind. Ausgehend von psychologischen Grundlagen, die dem Verständnis von emotionaler Intelligenz (auch als „EQ“ bezeichnet) dienen, werden IQ und EQ gegenübergestellt und deren jeweilige Bedeutung und Zusammenwirken als Erfolgsfaktor im Leben beschrieben. Die Autoren zeigen, dass sich emotionale Intelligenz durch einzelne emotionale und soziale Kompetenzen (wie z.B. Emotionserkennung, Selbstregulation und Empathie) beschreiben und mit bestimmten Verfahren sogar messen lässt.Abgerundet wird das Buch durch zahlreiche Übungsaufgaben für alle Altersklassen, mit denen sich der EQ trainieren lässt und damit einen direkten positiven Einfluss auf das eigene Leben hat.

Embodiment: Creative Imagination in Medicine, Art and Travel
by Robert BosnakDid you know that intentional dreaming has been used to solve life's problems? Embodiment: Creative Imagination in Medicine, Art and Travel sets out Robert Bosnak's practice of embodied imagination and demonstrates how he actually works with dreams and memories in groups. The book discusses various approaches to dreams, body and imagination, and combines this with a Jungian, neurobiological, relational and cultural analysis. The author's fascination with dreams, the most absolute form of embodied imagination, has caused him to travel all over the world. From his research he concludes that while dreaming everyone everywhere experiences dreams as embodied events in time and space while the dreamer is convinced of being awake; it is after waking into our specific cultural stories about dreaming that the widely differing attitudes towards dreams arise. By taking dreaming reality, not our waking interpretation of it, as the model for imagination, this book creates a paradigm shock and produces methods which can be applied in a wide variety of cultural settings. Through detailed case studies, professionals and students will find thorough discussions of: ways to flashback into dreams and memories while in a hypnagogic state of consciousness the practice of embodied imagination and its profound physical effects psyche as a self-organizing multiplicity of selves the nature of subjectivity the body as a theatre of sense memories the limitation of reason the process of dissociation the treatment of trauma This book discusses a variety of techniques which may be applied by health professionals to their patients and clients. It will also be of particular interest to Jungian and relational psychoanalysts, psychotherapists and clinical psychologists, as well as to artists, actors, directors, writers and other individuals who wish to explore the creative imagination.

Tailored Approaches to Self-Leadership: A Bite-Size Approach Using Psychology and Neuroscience
by Grant BosnickThis book provides a uniquely adaptable approach to develop awareness (of self, others and one’s environment) of self-leadership through real behavioral change. Through neuroscience, psychology and behavioral science approaches, each chapter will help readers make their learning and development personal and take it to a deeper level. With a tip of the hat to the gamebook format where you choose your adventure, readers are encouraged to take an original online self-assessment quiz to determine the challenges and priorities they are presently facing. The quiz then provides a suggested reading order of chapters to address these growth areas. Each of the 18 chapters explores a different theme related to self-leadership and are written in such a way that one can read them in any order. Filled with practical activities, reflective questions and personal anecdotes, Bosnick encourages readers to understand behavior from the "inside-out" of neuroscience and how the brain works, while also keeping an eye on the "outside-in:" how we understand others and how others see us. Combining research-backed principles with tried-and-tested exercises, this is a book tailored for leaders of all levels, professionals in a transitory phase of their career, as well as those just starting out in the working world.

Sourcebook of Family Theories and Methods: A Contextual Approach
by Pauline Boss William J. Doherty Ralph LaRossa Walter R. Schumm Suzanne K. SteinmetzOrigins We call this book on theoretical orientations and methodological strategies in family studies a sourcebook because it details the social and personal roots (i.e., sources) from which these orientations and strategies flow. Thus, an appropriate way to preface this book is to talk first of its roots, its beginnings. In the mid 1980s there emerged in some quarters the sense that it was time for family studies to take stock of itself. A goal was thus set to write a book that, like Janus, would face both backward and forward a book that would give readers both a perspec tive on the past and a map for the future. There were precedents for such a project: The Handbook of Marriage and the Family edited by Harold Christensen and published in 1964; the two Contemporary Theories about theFamily volumes edited by Wesley Burr, Reuben Hill, F. Ivan Nye, and Ira Reiss, published in 1979; and the Handbook of Marriage and the Family edited by Marvin Sussman and Suzanne Steinmetz, then in production.
Mathematik fachfremd unterrichten: Zur Professionalität fachbezogener Lehrer-Identität (Essener Beiträge zur Mathematikdidaktik)
by Marc BosseMithilfe eines neutral-phänomenologischen Forschungsansatzes und eines von Wissensdefiziten losgelösten Professionalitätsbegriffs untersucht Marc Bosse fachfremd unterrichtende Mathematiklehrpersonen hinsichtlich ihrer mathematikbezogenen Erfahrungen und in Bezug auf ihr Verhältnis zum Fach. Die zentrale Erkenntnis der ersten deutschen Studie zu diesem Thema ist, dass eine fehlende formale Lehrbefähigung für Mathematik nicht festlegt, wie sich die betreffenden Lehrpersonen als Mathematiklehrerinnen und -lehrer sehen und welcher identitätstheoretische Grad an Professionalität ihnen attestiert werden kann. Als empirische Grundlage dienen die Befragung von Lehrerinnen und Lehrern sowie die Beobachtung von Mathematikunterricht. Die Arbeit liefert ein Modell von sechs Identitätstypen, mit dem sich die Heterogenität hinsichtlich der Erfahrungs- und Verhältnisfrage beschreiben lässt.
A Comparison of Probabilistic Unfolding Theories for Paired Comparisons Data (Recent Research in Psychology)
by Patrick BossuytSome data-analytic methods excel by their sheer elegance. Their basic principles seem to have a particular attraction, based on a intricate combination of simplicity, deliberation, and power. They usually balance on the verge of two disciplines, data-analysis and foundational measurement, or statistics and psychology. To me, unfolding has always been one of them. The theory and the original methodology were created by Clyde Coombs (1912-1988) to describe and analyze preferential choice data. The fundamental assumptions are truly psy chological; Unfolding is based on the notion of a single peaked preference function over a psychological similarity space, or, in an alternative but equivalent expression, on the assumption of implicit comparisons with an ideal alternative. Unfolding has proved to be a very constructive data-analytic principle, and a source of inspiration for many theories on choice behavior. Yet the number of applications has not lived up to the acclaim the theory has received among mathematical psychologists. One of the reasons is that it requires far more consistency in human choice behavior than can be expected. Several authors have tried to attenuate these requirements by turning the deterministic unfolding theory into a probabilistic one. Since Coombs first put forth a probabilistic version of his theory, a number of competing proposals have been presented in the literature over the past thirty years. This monograph contains a summary and a comparison of unfolding theories for paired comparisons data, and an evaluation strategy designed to assess the validity of these theories in empirical choice tasks.

Child Psychotherapist and Problems of Young People
by Mary Boston Dilys DawsMany parents at some time dread that a child of theirs may be mentally ill or disturbed. But even after a generation of child psychology, psychiatry and psychotherapy, they still frequently fear to admit their fears, and fear the mystery of the remedy as much as the mystery of the problem. It is therefore important that parents should come to easy terms with the work of the psychotherapist, and be reassured that it is based on sympathetic understanding, not mysteries. It was to explain themselves to parents and others who work with other young people that sixteen psychotherapists and analysts (mostly following the principles of Anna Freud or Melanie Klein and largely drawn from the Hampstead Child Therapy and the Tavistock clinics in London) decided to collaborate in the preparation of this book. In it they set out to describe their work in schools, hospitals, clinics, day centres, etc and to discuss their fundamental approach to the treatment of the disturbed child.
