Counselling for Toads A Psychological Adventure

Counselling for Toads A Psychological Adventure

'Toad' the famous character in Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows is in a very depressed state and his good friends Rat Mole and Badger are 'worried that he might do something silly'. First they nursed him. Then they encouraged him. Then they told him to pull himself together. Finally Badger could stand it no longer. That admirable animal though long on exhortation was short on patience. 'Now look here Toad this can go on no longer' he said sternly. 'There is only one thing left. You must have counselling!'Robert de Board's engaging account of Toad's experience of counselling will capture the imagination of the growing readership of people who are interested in counselling and the counselling process. Written as a real continuation of life on the River Bank Toad and his friends come to life all over again. Heron the counsellor uses the language and ideas of transactional analysis as his counselling method. Through the dialogues which make up the ten sessions or chapters of the book Toad learns how to analyse his own feelings and develop his emotional intelligence. He meets his 'rebellious child' and his 'adult' along the way and by the end of the book as debonair as ever he was is setting out on a completely new adventure. As readers learn about Toad so they can learn about themselves and be encouraged to take the path of psychological growth and development. Best-selling author Robert de Board says: 'Toad's experiences are based on my own experiences of counselling people over a period of twenty years. Counselling for Toads is really an amalgamation of the many counselling sessions I have held and contains a distillation of the truths I have learnt from practice. 'Appropriate for anyone approaching counselling for the first time whether as a student or as a client or for the professional counsellor looking for something to recommend to the hesitant Counselling for Toads will appeal to bo | Counselling for Toads A Psychological Adventure

Designing for Play Designing for Play

Designing for Play Designing for Play

This title was first published in 2001. Architects landscape designers builders gardeners and teachers have all at some time been called upon to design a play area. However this diversity of profession has not resulted in a diversity of design solution as playgrounds appear to have remained virtually the same throughout the world since their creation over a century ago. This text is not a how-to book instead by using thinking from child development and child psychology Barbara Hendricks hopes to offer an approach to finding an innovative design solution that will challenge the established notions of play provision. This book covering sociological environmental and design issues provides designers with an exploration of and a guide to designing from a Child's eye view of the world. | Designing for Play Designing for Play

Rights for Aborigines

Rights for Aborigines

'We cannot help but wonder why it has taken the white Australians just on 200 years to recognise us as a race of people' Bill Onus 1967Aboriginal people were the original landowners in Australia yet this was easily forgotten by Europeans settling this old continent. Labelled as a primitive and dying race by the end of the nineteenth century most Aborigines were denied the right to vote to determine where their families would live and to maintain their cultural traditions. In this groundbreaking work Bain Attwood charts a century-long struggle for rights for Aborigines in Australia. He tracks the ever-shifting perceptions of race and history and how these impacted on the ideals and goals of campaigners for rights for indigenous people. He looks at prominent Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal campaigners and what motivated their involvement in key incidents and movements. Drawing on oral and documentary sources he investigates how they found enough common ground to fight together for justice and equality for Aboriginal people. Rights for Aborigines illuminates questions of race history political and social rights that are central to our understanding of relations between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians.

Mathematics for Social Justice

Mathematics for Social Justice

Mathematics instructors are always looking for ways to engage students in meaningful and authentic tasks that utilize mathematics. At the same time it is crucial for a democratic society to have a citizenry who can critically discriminate between “fake” and reliable news reports involving numeracy and apply numerical literacy to local and global issues. This book contains examples of topics linking math and social justice and addresses both goals. There is a broad range of mathematics used including statistical methods modeling calculus and basic algebra. The range of social issues is also diverse including racial injustice mass incarceration income inequality and environmental justice. There are lesson plans appropriate in many contexts: service-learning courses quantitative literacy/reasoning courses introductory courses and classes for math majors. What makes this book unique and timely is that the most previous curricula linking math and social justice have been treated from a humanist perspective. This book is written by mathematicians for mathematics students. Admittedly it can be intimidating for instructors trained in quantitative methods to venture into the arena of social dilemmas. This volume provides encouragement support and a treasure trove of ideas to get you started. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal PRIMUS: Problems Resources and Issues in Mathematics Undergraduate Studies. | Mathematics for Social Justice

Neuroscience for Artificial Intelligence

Neuroscience for Artificial Intelligence

The ongoing boom of applications for artificial intelligence (AI) is based on algorithms that were inspired by neuroscience discoveries in the 1960s. This is a timely book to introduce the new discoveries and ideas in neuroscience for the next wave of more powerful AI. AI researchers are all interested in the human brain which is more capable and energy-efficient but do not have good reading materials from the rather separate subfields of neuroscience all with plenty of jargons. Based on hundreds of publications from top journals the book fills in the gap between existing computational hardware/algorithms and emerging knowledge from neuroscience. | Neuroscience for Artificial Intelligence
