Person-centred Primary Care Searching for the Self

Person-centred Primary Care Searching for the Self

Primary care grounded in the provision of continuous comprehensive person-centred care is of paramount importance in the delivery of accessible and effective health care around the world. The central notion of person-centred care however relies on often-unexamined concepts of self or understandings of what it means to be a person and an agent. This cutting-edge book explores contemporary pressures on the sense of self for both patient and health professional within a consultation and argues that building new concepts of the self is essential if we are to reinvigorate the central tenets of person-centred primary care. Contemporary trends such as shared decision-making between health professionals and patients and promoting self-management assume those involved are able to make their own decisions and take action. In practice however medicine often opts for reductionist perspectives of patients as passive mechanical systems and diseases as puzzles. At the same time huge political and organisational changes mean time and resources are scarce putting further pressure on consultations. This book discusses how we can start to resolve these tensions. The first part considers problems posed by the increasing bureaucratisation of primary care the impact of information technology in the consultation the effects of chronic disease on our sense of self and how an emphasis on biology over biography leads to over-diagnosis. The second part proposes solutions based on a strong ontology of consciousness concepts of creative capacity coherence and engagement and will show how these can enhance the self-esteem of patients and doctors and benefit their therapeutic dialogue. Combining theoretical perspectives from philosophy sociology and healthcare research with insights drawn from clinical practice this edited volume is suitable for those researching and studying primary healthcare communication and relationships in heal | Person-centred Primary Care Searching for the Self

Person-centred Health Care Balancing the Welfare of Clinicians and Patients

Person-centred Health Care Balancing the Welfare of Clinicians and Patients

Person-centred health care is increasingly endorsed as a key element of high-quality care yet in practice it often means patient-centred health care. This book scrutinizes the principle of primacy of patient welfare which although deeply embedded in health professionalism is long overdue for critical analysis and debate. It appears incontestable because patients have greater immediate health needs than clinicians and the patient-clinician encounter is often recognized as a moral enterprise as well as a service contract. However Buetow argues that the implication that clinician welfare is secondary can harm clinicians patients and health system performance. Revaluing participants in health care as moral equals this book advocates an ethic of virtue to respect the clinician as a whole person whose self-care and care from patients can benefit both parties because their moral interests intertwine and warrant equal consideration. It then considers how to move from values including moral equality in health care to practice for people in their particular situations. Developing a genuinely inclusive concept of person-centred care – accepting clinicians as moral equals – it also facilitates the coalescence of patient-centred care and evidence-based health care. This reflective and provocative work develops a constructive alternative to the taken-for-granted principle of primacy of patient welfare. It is of interest to students and academics in the health and caring sciences philosophy ethics medical humanities and health management. | Person-centred Health Care Balancing the Welfare of Clinicians and Patients

You Are a Data Person Strategies for Using Analytics on Campus

You Are a Data Person Strategies for Using Analytics on Campus

Internal and external pressure continues to mount for college professionals to provide evidence of successful activities programs and services which means that going forward nearly every campus professional will need to approach their work with a data-informed perspective. But you find yourself thinking “I am not a data person”. Yes you are. Or can be with the help of Amelia Parnell. You Are a Data Person provides context for the levels at which you are currently comfortable using data helps you identify both the areas where you should strengthen your knowledge and where you can use this knowledge in your particular university role. For example the rising cost to deliver high-quality programs and services to students has pushed many institutions to reallocate resources to find efficiencies. Also more institutions are intentionally connecting classroom and cocurricular learning experiences which in some instances requires an increased gathering of evidence that students have acquired certain skills and competencies. In addition to programs services and pedagogy professionals are constantly monitoring the rates at which students are entering remaining enrolled in and leaving the institution as those movements impact the institution’s financial position. From teaching professors to student affairs personnel and beyond Parnell offers tangible examples of how professionals can make data contributions at their current and future knowledge level and will even inspire readers to take the initiative to engage in data projects. The book includes a set of self-assessment questions and a companion set of action steps and available resources to help readers accept their identity as a data person. It also includes an annotated list of at least 20 indicators that any higher education professional can examine without sophisticated data analyses. | You Are a Data Person Strategies for Using Analytics on Campus

Geometrical Justice The Death Penalty in America

Geometrical Justice The Death Penalty in America

Legal decisions continue to mystify: why was this person sentenced to 20 years in prison but that person to just 10 years for the same crime? Why did one person sue for civil damages but another let the matter drop? Legal rules are supposed to answer these questions but their answers are radically incomplete. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a theory that predicted and explained legal decisions? Drawing on Donald Black’s theoretical ideas Geometrical Justice: The Death Penalty in America addresses these issues focusing specifi cally on who is sentenced to death and executed in the United States. The book explains why some murders are more serious than others and how the social characteristics of defendants victims and jurors aff ect case outcomes. Building on the most rigorous data in the field the authors reveal wide discrepancies in capital punishment – why one person lives but another person dies. Geometrical Justice will be of interest to those engaged in criminal justice criminology and socio- legal studies as well as students taking courses on sentencing corrections and capital punishment. | Geometrical Justice The Death Penalty in America

Curriculum Histories in Place in Person in Practice The Louisiana State University Curriculum Theory Project

Curriculum Histories in Place in Person in Practice The Louisiana State University Curriculum Theory Project

This book situates the Curriculum Theory Project at Louisiana State University within a larger historical framework of curriculum work examining the practices which have sustained this type of curricular vitality over the lifetime of the field’s existence. Divided into seven parts the authors illuminate seven practices which have sustained the scholarship graduate programs mentorship and networking that have been critical to maintaining a web of international relationships. This exploration and coming together of intergenerational stories reveals a more complete and nuanced narrative of the development of curriculum theory over the last 60 years. Crucially the project exemplifies the continuing resilience of curriculum theory despite ongoing neo-liberal aspirations to reframe education as a business. Reflecting upon the lived experiences and articulated memories of those who have participated in the project and analysis of documents collected over its 25-year history it considers curriculum history(ies) writ large through and from this lens of practice. As such it opens up fresh insights for cultivating the vitality and vigor of curriculum theory more broadly on an international scale and with a view to future directions for the field. It will appeal to both new and experienced scholars working across education foundations urban education philosophy of education and higher education and researchers from across history sociology anthropology ethnic studies and gender studies. | Curriculum Histories in Place in Person in Practice The Louisiana State University Curriculum Theory Project

Explanatory Optimism about the Hard Problem of Consciousness

Explanatory Optimism about the Hard Problem of Consciousness

Explanatory Optimism about the Hard Problem of Consciousness argues that despite the worries of explanatory pessimists consciousness can be fully explained in “easy” scientific terms. The widespread intuition that consciousness poses a hard problem is plausibly based on how consciousness appears to us in first-person access. The book offers a debunking argument to undercut the justificatory link between the first-person appearances and our hard problem intuitions. The key step in the debunking argument involves the development and defense of an empirical model of first-person access: Automated Compression Theory (ACT). ACT holds that first-person access to consciousness is accomplished by automated accessing of compressed sensory information. Because of the distorting nature of this compressed access it seems to subjects that consciousness possesses “exceptional” properties—properties leading to the hard problem—even though no such properties are present. If there are no exceptional properties to explain then an explanation in easy terms can fully account for conscious experience. The book presents a range of empirical evidence for ACT and concludes that the burden of proof is now on the pessimists to show why we shouldn’t be optimistic about explaining consciousness.

The Linguistic Construction of Reality

The Linguistic Construction of Reality

This book originally published in 1987 considers how the science of linguistics creates its own objects of study. It argues that language is the one essential tool in the ‘social construction of reality’ – the way in which our environment as we perceive and respond to it is actually created by the cultural constructs we bring to bear on it – and that it is also the means by which this reality once constructed is preserved and transmitted from person to person and from generation to generation. Hence it is entirely appropriate to refer to the linguistic construction of reality.

Responsibility Collapses Why Moral Responsibility is Impossible

Responsibility Collapses Why Moral Responsibility is Impossible

Our worldview assumes that people are morally responsible. Our emotions beliefs and values assume that a person is responsible for what she thinks and does and that this is a good thing. This book argues that this worldview is false. It provides four arguments for this conclusion that build on the free will and responsibility literatures in original and insightful ways: Foundation: No one is responsible because there is no foundation for responsibility. A foundation for responsibility is something for which a person is responsible but not by being responsible for something else Epistemic Condition: No one is responsible because no one fulfills the epistemic condition necessary for blameworthiness Internalism: If a person were responsible then she would be responsible for and only for what goes on in her head. Most of the evidence for responsibility says the opposite Amount: No one is responsible because we cannot make sense of what makes a person more or less praiseworthy (or blameworthy) There is no other book that argues against moral responsibility based on foundationalism the epistemic condition and internalism and shows that these arguments cohere. The book’s arguments for internalism and quantifying responsibility are new to the literature. Ultimately the book’s conclusions undermine our commonsense view of the world and the most common philosophical understanding of God morality and relationships. Responsibility Collapses: Why Moral Responsibility Is Impossible is essential reading for scholars and advanced students in philosophy religious studies and political science who are interested in debates about agency free will and moral responsibility. | Responsibility Collapses Why Moral Responsibility is Impossible

A New Economic Anthropology

A New Economic Anthropology

Traditionally economic anthropology has been studied by sociologists anthropologists and philosophers seeking to highlight the social foundations of economic action. Meanwhile anthropological questions have remained largely untreated in economics despite the prominence given to the individual in microeconomics. And there is very little in the way of dialogue between the two sides. This book argues for a new economic anthropology which goes beyond the conflict of economics and anthropology to show the complementarity of the two approaches. Economics needs to go beyond the stage of homo oeconomicus and be open to broader ideas about the person. Equally anthropology can be enriched through the methods and models of economic theory. This new economic anthropology goes beyond a simple observation of societies. It is new because it introduces the responsible person with a wider range of characteristics in particular vulnerability and suffering as a subject of economics. It is a particular interpretation of economic anthropology calling for a broadening of the subject (moving from the individual to the person) range of values (admission of negative values for altruism social capital responsibility) and disciplinary references. Through this approach both economics and anthropology can be enriched. This book will be of great interest to those working in the fields of economics anthropology philosophy and development studies.
