Download or read book Social Media Psychobabble written by Anthony Smith Chaigneau and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is NOT a 'How-To' of tips and techniques nor is it a Social Media marketing guide - FAR FROM IT! Social Media Psychobabble exposes the amorphous world of Social Media, digging into the absurd, nonsensical psychobabble that the majority of this medium has become. It is written to reveal the mess, open dialogue and educate - It is a wake-up call to the powers that can do something to fix the problems! The book looks at the history of the WWW, the How-To genre, Social Media Tools, the Players and the massive diatribe of drivel and imbecilic, valueless marketing that now fills masses of server farms across the globe. It rips open the happy-flappy veneer of the narcissistic, over-exuberant Social Media snake-oil sales people and it exposes many for the charlatans they are, with their absurd claims of instant business success. It is by no means inclusive of all as the subject has grown to a Godzilla size problem. The book is full of examples showing how the on-line 'content-creation-runaway-train' is polluting the WWW (The Beast) with unmoderated, unmitigated garbage that is wreaking social and political havoc as it favours the stupid, the fake, the narcissists, the trolls, the bullies, the scammers, the terrorists and more. It shows how we stand by and allow The Beast to stupidly pollute our youngest most malleable, susceptible minds. If you are a parent, a teacher, a social worker and have young lives to protect and nurture you will want to know what is really going on in the belly of The Beast. If you are working in or touting Social Media and are perhaps a runaway-content-creator then this book is certainly NOT for you but you and your ilk are most probably in it ... Enjoy!

The book is a clarion call to re-evaluate our man-made world of dogmas, ideologies, myths, and masculine institutions and industries. It is a strongly worded call to embrace facts and critical thinking; especially, in the face of religious, political, and conspiratorial distortions of key human and environmental issues. Can We Do Better? is a clear-headed invitation to informed, rational and values-based citizenship, custodianship, and leadership. Necessarily, therefore, this book is a robust call to integrity and accountability in governance. Every chapter invites us to be aware, factual, honest, sensitive, compassionate, and responsible. In contrast to the modern prominence of individualistic transactional leveraging, this book advocates values-based relationships, communities, and ecologies. We men are invited to confront some ‘inconvenient truths’, and to learn from and internalise Yin-based wisdom. To promote Yin-based wisdom, this book encourages women and First Peoples to step forward as role models, educators, stewards, and leaders. In conjunction with Yin-based wisdom, this book argues that a critical mass of us need to embrace holistic and homeostatic systems principles and priorities. ‘Holistic systems wisdom’ is crucial in reducing longstanding fragmentation, harms, suffering and disasters. So... be curious and read this compelling and innovative book. Look out for the publication of a ‘Companion Workbook’ that is designed to enable you to explore and apply the values and principles in Can We Do Better?

Download or read book Ethics and Mental Health written by Michael Robertson and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2013-09-26 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of ethics is expanding and has assumed new significance as a compulsory part of study for psychiatrists and all mental health professionals. Ethics and Mental Health: The Patient, Profession and Community presents a new approach to these ethical dilemmas that have become an increasing part of modern practice. The book begins by exploring current normative theories of psychiatric ethics. It describes how empirical methods can make codes of conduct more representative of professional values. Considering their previous work, concepts of justice, and the moderate communitarian position, the authors outline their methodology, which argues that mental health professionals exist within a perpetual state of tension, caused by conflicts between the Hippocratic Oath, personal values, notions of social justice, and the potentially harmful influences of their social role. Applying their theory to the area of involuntary psychiatric treatment, the authors address the context of psychiatric practice and the moral agency of psychiatrists. They outline the different influences on the craft of psychiatry to better illustrate the diverse forces that impact moral deliberation and the practice of ethics in mental health. In doing so, they cover areas as diverse as cultural, economic, scientific, and political domains. The final section of the book applies the methodology to contemporary problems in mental health ethics, formulating how mental health clinicians can approach these quandaries. The book brings a new perspective to classic dilemmas from the past, to contemporary challenges, and in anticipation, to new concerns that will inevitably arise in a dynamic and complex professional context.

At least, that's what the police say. Sal has never believed kind Wulf, who tried to protect her from her mother's dark side, could have committed such a crime, but the evidence was irrefutable . . . and who else could have done it? Now an adult, with a good job as a Collison Investigation Officer, Sal's done her best to put the past behind her. But one snowy morning she's called to an accident scene, and she recognizes the body - Barry Ford, the man her mother left Wulf for, all those years ago. It soon becomes clear this wasn't just an accident - it was murder. And Wulf, now out of prison, lives very close by . . . The question of who really killed her mother has haunted Sal her whole life, but as she launches a complex investigation, which gets darker by the hour, she starts to wonder if she really wants to know the answer after all. This nail-biting series launch will appeal to fans of David Mark's critically acclaimed DS McAvoy series and readers of Denise Mina, Val McDermid, Ian Rankin and Peter Robinson.
