Book Ethical Dilemmas in Psychotherapy

Download or read book Ethical Dilemmas in Psychotherapy written by Samuel Knapp and published by American Psychological Association (APA). This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New and experienced psychotherapists alike can find themselves overwhelmed by an ethical quandary where there doesn't seem to be an easy solution. This book presents positive ethics as a means to overcome such ethical challenges. The positive approach focuses on not just avoiding negative consequences, but reaching the best possible outcomes for both the psychotherapist and the client. The authors outline a clear decision-making process that is based on three practical strategies: the ethics acculturation model to help therapists incorporate personal ethics into their professional roles, the quality enhancement model for dealing with high-risk patients who are potentially harmful, and ethical choice-making strategies to make the most ethical decision in a situation where two ethical principles conflict. Throughout the decision-making process, psychotherapists are encouraged to follow four basic guidelines: Focus on overarching ethical principles Consider intuitive, emotional, and other nonrational factors Accept that some problems have elusive solutions Solicit input from colleagues and consultation groups Numerous vignettes illustrate how to apply positive ethics to many different ethical challenges that psychotherapists will likely encounter in practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book integrates two different but equally prominent themes in the management field: mergers and acquisitions (M&As) and corporate social responsibility (CSR). It explores questions such as whether strategic goals overlap or conflict with sustainability choices, what the strategic and sustainability tensions are confronting expanding companies, and whether these companies can grow and be socially responsible for a variety of stakeholders. The authors provide a fresh perspective on the study of acquisitions, aiming to inspire the M&A field and using examples from different global and institutional contexts in both developed and developing economies. This ground-breaking book addresses the gap that has existed between acquisitions on the one hand and social responsibility and sustainability on the other, for an integrative perspective on enacting M&As and achieving the triple people-planet-profits bottom line.

Book The Art of the Machiavellianist

Download or read book The Art of the Machiavellianist written by Onesimus Malatji and published by Onesimus Malatji. This book was released on 2023-12-20 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Art of the Machiavellianist" is an enthralling novel that centres on Joseph, a character deeply influenced by the political philosophies of Niccolò Machiavelli, particularly as outlined in "The Prince." The story begins with Joseph's early exposure to Machiavellian concepts and follows his ascent as he skilfully applies these principles in various spheres of his life. Joseph, portrayed as a complex figure with a keen understanding of human nature, navigates through challenging scenarios in politics, business, and personal relationships. His journey highlights the practical application of Machiavellian tactics, ranging from subtle manipulations to overt power plays. The novel meticulously details his strategies for gaining influence, controlling outcomes, and safeguarding his interests. As the plot progresses, the narrative delves into the psychological aspects of Machiavellianism, examining how traits like manipulation, moral flexibility, and a focus on self-interest play out in Joseph's interactions and decisions. The story provides a rich exploration of the psychological underpinnings of this trait and its manifestation in different environments. A critical aspect of the novel is its exploration of the ethical implications of Machiavellian practices. It engages the reader in a philosophical debate over the morality of Joseph's actions, questioning whether the ends justify the means and the potential moral cost of such tactics on an individual and societal level. Through various subplots and interactions with other characters, the novel presents real-world parallels, drawing comparisons to historical and contemporary figures known for their Machiavellian tactics. These examples serve to ground Joseph's story in a broader context, offering insights into the pervasive influence of Machiavellianism in modern society. In conclusion, "The Art of the Machiavellianist" offers a comprehensive, thought-provoking examination of Machiavellianism through the lens of a captivating fictional narrative. It appeals to readers interested in psychology, philosophy, politics, and the intricate dynamics of power and influence.
