They may be used for teaching or by experts who wish an overview of recent advances in their science. The chapters uniquely reflect the international or global character of psychology, both in the authors selected to write them, and in their coverage of research from around the world.

Download or read book Breaking the Poverty Cycle written by Susan Pick de Weiss and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pick and Sirkin show how IMIFAP, a Mexican NGO, has employed a development strategy to encourage the establishment of a participatory, healthy and educated citizenry. The program strategy is grounded in Amartya Sen's approach to sustainable development through expanding individual's capabilities and freedoms. It presents the Framework for Enabling Empowerment (FrEE) and the step by step strategy "Programming for Choice," based on the practical experience and evaluation of IMIFAP's programs. The end goal is to achieve sustainable community and individual development that can be expanded across a variety of life domains (social, economic, political, education, health and psychological). The book shows how community development can be enhanced if people are enabled to make accountable choices and expand their alternatives. International development efforts will not be sustainable if we continue to build schools without quality teachers; health clinics without enhancing logistical and psychological access and improving quality of care; and laws that are not enforced. Institutions will only flourish if their leaders and bureaucrats enhance their personal capabilities. The central premise of the book is that enhancing skills, knowledge and reducing psychological and contextual barriers to change are central (and often neglected) aspects of sustainable development. IMIFAP was founded in 1984. Through its health promotion and poverty reduction work it has reached over 19 million people in 14 countries through over 40 different programs and over 280 educational materials with support from over 300 funding agencies and government and private institutions. Its mission is to enable society's poor and vulnerable to take charge of their lives through helping them develop their potential. We have found that through the IMIFAP "I want to, I can" programs people take the control of their lives in their own hands. Examples of these results are presented including numerous testimonies.

Nuestras vidas son radicalmente ordinarias y poco emocionantes. Eso significa que son la clase de vidas que a Dios le fascinan.

Nos insta a apreciar una vida de sencillez, a amar a aquellos a los que el mundo ignora, a trabajar por la gloria de Dios antes que la nuestra. Y demuestra que Dios siempre ha sido el Se&ñ or de la cruz: un Salvador que esconde su gracia en lugares sin encanto ni gloria.Tu Dios es demasiado glorioso les recuerda a los lectores que, si bien una vida tranquila puede parecerle insulsa al mundo, Dios tiende a usar a las personas comunes y corrientes para llevar a cabo su labor m&á s importante.Al final de cada cap&í tulo, Chad Bird invita al lector a profundizar en la b&ú squeda de la vida fiel y ordinaria con preguntas de estudio para uso tanto personal como grupal.

Download or read book Cuando Edipo creci written by Daniel Becker and published by Libros del Zorzal. This book was released on 2011 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A los cincuenta años, la persona posee un mundo interior muy diferente del que poseía a los veinte. Se relaciona de otro modo consigo misma, su sexualidad es totalmente distinta y cambia su escala de valores en cuanto a carrera, familia y sociedad. El adulto es mucho más que un niño que creció. Es sorprendente que tan pocos estudios psicológicos se hayan dedicado a la edad madura. La terapia se interesa ante todo por la infancia y la proyecta sobre la madurez. A veces parece que la actitud de la psicología en este campo se limita a enumerar las funciones que van deteriorándose en el camino hacia la vejez. La mayoría de los individuos no son conscientes de las oportunidades de desarrollo continuo que tienen lugar en todas las edades, y del nuevo florecimiento que se produce en la segunda mitad de la vida. Cuando Edipo creció procura estimular la percepción de ese crecimiento, definir la singular cultura que deriva del mismo y obtener el máximo de satisfacción.
