Download or read book Beyond Work Family Balance written by Rhona Rapoport and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 2002 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone who struggles to meet the demands of work and personal-life responsibilities knows how tough it is to do so. This bold new book shows that it is the deeply engrained separation of work and personal life that has limited our ability to deal effectively with the conflict between them. Beyond Work-Family Balance demonstrates why the image of "balance" is outmoded and why a new approach--work-personal life integration--offers greater promise for meaningful change. Providing many examples from action research projects in more than a dozen organizations of different kinds, the authors show how using their method of integrating rather than separating personal-life considerations from the workplace can achieve positive outcomes, not only for workers but also for the work. The method offers a way of looking deeply into the work culture to find inequitable and ineffective work practices that are so embedded and routine that no one thinks to question them3/4they are just the way things get done. Once identified, these work practices can be changed to achieve what the authors call a Dual Agenda: a more equitable workplace where both men and women can achieve their full potential and a more effective workplace where the needs of the work, rather than gendered and outmoded assumptions, determine what gets done and how. Beyond Work-Family Balance offers an approach that achieves what "family friendly" policies, "mommy tracks," and so-called flexibility programs cannot. Such programs address the symptoms of the problem. This book offers a way of changing the everyday work practices and norms that are at the root of the problem.

Download or read book Beyond Chrismukkah written by Samira K. Mehta and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2018-03-13 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rate of interfaith marriage in the United States has risen so radically since the sixties that it is difficult to recall how taboo the practice once was. How is this development understood and regarded by Americans generally, and what does it tell us about the nation's religious life? Drawing on ethnographic and historical sources, Samira K. Mehta provides a fascinating analysis of wives, husbands, children, and their extended families in interfaith homes; religious leaders; and the social and cultural milieu surrounding mixed marriages among Jews, Catholics, and Protestants. Mehta's eye-opening look at the portrayal of interfaith families across American culture since the mid-twentieth century ranges from popular TV shows, holiday cards, and humorous guides to "Chrismukkah" to children's books, young adult fiction, and religious and secular advice manuals. Mehta argues that the emergence of multiculturalism helped generate new terms by which interfaith families felt empowered to shape their lived religious practices in ways and degrees previously unknown. They began to intertwine their religious identities without compromising their social standing. This rich portrait of families living diverse religions together at home advances the understanding of how religion functions in American society today.

Download or read book Beyond the Nuclear Family written by Eric Widmer and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2008 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of significant family contexts that are not easily circumscribed with reference to a household or a limited set of family roles has been underlined throughout the last two decades by researchers. A strong interest for family relationships beyond the nuclear family has emerged in the social sciences. The various contributions to this book develop a configurational approach to families, which emphasizes interdependencies existing among large numbers of family members, and reconsiders some of the central issues of family life in this light: fertility projects, childcare and socialization, monetary transfers across generations and support for the elderly, relationships with grandparents, uncles, aunts and in-laws, gender inequalities, divorce and other family disruptions, and the importance of friends and acquaintances for families. Beyond very real changes affecting the structures of family life since the sixties, the book reveals that basic forms of togetherness still underlie much of what is going on in family configurations.
Download or read book Beyond the Dysfunctional Family written by Alan Race and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents the dialogical fruit of a group of Jews, Christians and Muslims who have been meeting together for more than a decade. The contributors have made the long journey from guarded spokespersons to vulnerable human beings who can share both their enthusiasms and fears with those they now recognise as siblings. Breaking new ground, the book reflects on the causes of dysfunctionality - historical, political, theological - and offers healing through a theology of deep respect and sense of equality. Therefore, the book is not a series of disconnected essays commissioned at arm's length; rather, each chapter has been written out of the group experience, where every word has been probed and revised in the demanding process of the dialogue itself.

Download or read book Beyond Technique in Family Therapy written by George M. Simon and published by Addison-Wesley Longman. This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arguing against an eclectic approach to the practice of family therapy, Professor Simon urges students and therapists to find the one model of practice that best expresses their personal worldviews and values. In order to help therapists find their personal models, the text exposes the particular view of the human condition that underlies each of the models of family therapy. It also leads readers through several guided reflections designed to help them become more aware of their own personal views of the human situation. By the end of the text, students will have found the therapeutic model that is most closely aligned with their deeply held values and worldviews. Having found their "therapeutic voice," students will then be able to approach practicing therapy as an exercise in genuine self-expression.
