[the book] explores the "provision of effective counselling with limited resources and under strict time pressures"... with some excellent writing on the nature of time and attitudes to time in counselling and psychotherapy... the evidence in favour [of short-term counselling] is put strongly. Colin Feltham favours it as an approach of choice for certain clients, which should coexist with (rather than adversarially seek to oust and replace) longer-term therapy... he draws from a wide range of literature, while identifying those key ingredients, skills and strategies that he has found especially significant. He also discusses some of the different contexts in which this work operates... Many of the questions and issues he poses
Download or read book Marriage Meetings for Lasting Love written by Marcia Naomi Berger and published by New World Library. This book was released on 2014-01-15 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most couples — because they watch so many of their peers divorce and are themselves the products of failed marriages — don't have many successful long-term-relationship role models. Parenting and communication issues are perennial, while some challenges, like increasingly 24-7 work lives and economic hardships, mark the current decade. Despite all this, psychotherapist and clinical social worker Marcia Naomi Berger asserts that most couples can make love last — they just need to learn how. Berger answers this need with a deceptively simple prescription: have an interruption-free thirty-minute (or even shorter) meeting each week and follow an agenda that includes the kind of appreciation and planning for fun that foster intimacy and pave the way for collaborative conflict resolution. Berger has refined these techniques while working with hundreds of couples — with results that are both practical and profound.
Download or read book Communicating In A Digital World written by Aristotle T. Lekacos and published by Aristotle T Lekacos. This book was released on 2010-03-31 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You are about to embark on a journey. In some respects it will be similar to ones taken by other pioneers and innovators in the past. Your journey may begin with excitement and trepidation. As you continue and persevere you will discover new things and most importantly will feel a sense of accomplishment and self-improvement. There will be times along the journey when you believe that you cannot possibly go any further. You will push yourself and lo and behold you will realize that you have discovered and learned so much more then you imagined. You will be changed forever! #13; Change is taking place everywhere and will proceed whether we are for or against it. Just as the acoustic telegraph (telephone) replaced the electric telegraph, the incandescent lamp replaced gas lighting, wireless methods superseded wired technologies; the turbines eventual replacement of the horse, the aircraft the train, the email the mailed letter to name just a few changes in our recent history. In all cases these changes were not overnight phenomena but ones that took time. Slowly the practitioners changed, the users switched and the infrastructure transitioned and then the process repeated itself. This is civilization advancing; beginning with a technological innovation, then a 'marketing' of the technology to define its benefits and most importantly the subsequent preparation of society for its eventual deployment. The only certainty is uncertainty. Our position on the merits of the change must be based on our knowledge and not hearsay.#13; As you embark on this journey of enlightenment you may encounter resistance from others. As with all innovation and transitional periods? naysayers, especially and perhaps surprisingly from within the field, will state why the new approach is inadequate, insufficient, incapable, not going to work and so forth. In business this denial to consider the need for possible change is called 'Core Rigidity'. Why the term 'Core Rigidity'? Rigidity - because individuals refuse to consider any change or revision and want the status quo to remain. Core - because most of these individuals are experts in the field and have years of experience in the existing environment, their specific knowledge is based on the current processes and most importantly if the change does comes to pass their skill sets will be negated hence the term core rigidity.#13; Some say it is human nature to discount new methodology, new theories, new approaches, new ideas; to paraphrase a common quote ?If it?s not broken don?t fix it?. I say where would we be today if all of our ancestors had thought that way? Despite the reluctance of incumbents change is continuous.#13; With respect to virtual communications we are approaching the societal stage; which is why I have written this book. Virtual communications will eventually replace the current mode of distance contact. Communicating and meetings will be forever changed. It is my intention to provide the information and knowledge to empower you to successfully join this new and exciting way of communicating. I will show you how to employ and understand tools used in communicating virtually, such as Adobe Presenter, Adobe Captivate and Adobe Connect. #13; In this book I have introduced a number of new concepts that are useful in the preparation and implementation of the virtual environments and digital content.#13; Let's begin our journey to change.
