Download or read book Practitioner s Credo written by and published by Morgan James Publishing. This book was released on 2009-04-01 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is not about me nor any particular practice. It is the result of 34 years of observing, studying and experiencing the criteria that determines a successful practice. It is not about mechanics or methodology. It is not about maximizing reimbursement or accelerating collections. If your interest is in how to deal with cash flow, increasing the revenue opportunities in a declining reimbursement environment and insuring that your income is optimized, this book is not for you. On the other hand, if your interest is in how to make your practice successful, this book will address the ten basic tenets to doing just that. A successful practice is never measured in terms of number of patients or income generated. The only real criteria for determining success is how the practice is perceived, by patients, by colleagues within the profession, by the staff and by the team leader. Since my experiences as a professional lie exclusively in the domain of Health Sciences, this book shall refer to patrons of practices as "patients." In many instances, the term "client" could be interchanged for "patients" when considering professions other than health related (i.e., Law, Accounting). But for our specific interests and purposes, the book shall address health care practices and their relationship with patients and each other.
Download or read book Doing Probation Work written by Rob Mawby and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-03-05 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A great deal has been written about the political, policy and practice changes that have shaped probation work but little has been written on the changes to occupational cultures and the ways in which probation workers themselves view their role. This book fills that gap by exploring the meaning of ‘doing probation work’ from the perspective of probation workers themselves. Based on 60 extensive interviews with probation workers who joined the probation service from the 1960s to the present day, this book reaches beyond criminological and policy analysis to an application of sociological and organizational theory to rich qualitative data. It explores the backgrounds and motivations of probation workers, their changing relationships with other criminal justice agencies, and the complex public perceptions and media representations of probation work. The book considers the relative influences of religion, the union, diversity and feminization and, while it acknowledges that probation work is stressful, it draws innovatively on sociological and organizational concepts to categorize how workers respond to turbulent times. This book challenges the dominant narrative of probation’s decline in recent literature and constructs three ‘ideal types’ of probation worker - ‘lifers’, ‘second careerists’ and ‘offender managers.’ Each makes an essential contribution to probation cultures, which collectively contribute to, rather than undermine, the effectiveness of offender management and the future of probation work. This book will be important reading for researchers in the disciplines of criminology, criminal justice, sociology and management as well as probation workers of all grades and those in training.

Download or read book Doing Prison Work written by Elaine M Crawley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a much-needed sociological account of the social world of the English prison officer, making an original contribution to our understanding of the inner life of prisons in general and the working lives of prison officers in particular. As well as revealing how the job of the prison officer - and of the prison itself - is accomplished on a day-to-day basis, the book explores not only what prison officers do but also how they feel about their work. In focusing on how prison officers feel about their work this book makes a number of interesting revelations - about the essentially domestic nature of much of the work they do, about the degree of emotional labour invested in it and about the performance nature of many of the day-to-day interactions between officers and prisoners. Finally, the book follows the prison officer home after work, showing how the prison can spill over into their home lives and family relationships. Based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork in different types of prisons (including interviews with prison officers' wives and children as well as prison officers themselves), this book will be essential reading for all those with an interest in how prisons and organisations more generally operate in practice.

Download or read book Against Creative Writing written by Andrew Cowan and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-09-13 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rise of Creative Writing has been accompanied from the start by two questions: can it be taught, and should it be taught? This scepticism is sometimes shared even by those who teach it, who often find themselves split between two contradictory identities: the artistic and the academic. Against Creative Writing explores the difference between ‘writing’, which is what writers do, and Creative Writing, which is the instrumentalisation of what writers do. Beginning with the question of whether writing can or ought to be taught, it looks in turn at the justifications for BA, MA, and PhD courses, and concludes with the divided role of the writer who teaches. It argues in favour of Creative Writing as a form of hands-on literary education at undergraduate level and a form of literary apprenticeship at graduate level, especially in widening access to new voices. It argues against those forms of Creative Writing that lose sight of literary values – as seen in the proliferation of curricular couplings with non-literary subjects, or the increasing emphasis on developing skills for future employment. Against Creative Writing, written by a writer, is addressed to other writers, inside or outside the academy, at undergraduate or graduate level, whether ‘creative’ or ‘critical’.
