Download or read book Blindness Research the Expanding Frontiers written by Maxwell Henry Goldberg and published by Penn State University Press. This book was released on 1969 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive and practical volume describes new and potentially rewarding research in blindness and in the host of problems associated with it. It also delineates unexplored areas and concepts for researchers themselves, foundations and organizations, administrators, students, and laymen. Blindness Research: The Expanding Frontiers presents a permanent record of the recent national conference on the urgent needs for the next decade of the blind population as well as the needs and tools, present and future, of those who work with the blind. Sponsored by governmental, institutional, and educational organizations, two features made this conference unique: its pooling of top scholarly resources from the liberal arts and sciences, and the direct confrontation and exchange it produced between experts concerned specifically with blindness and informed scholars engaged in academic research. This volume thus contains the important record of a research consultation with a distinctive format, an international scope, and a distinguished array of authors. It emphasizes the vital role of the traditional humanities in making the lives of a large blind population increasingly more meaningful and productive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic case for why government must support science—with a new essay by physicist and former congressman Rush Holt on what democracy needs from science today Science, the Endless Frontier is recognized as the landmark argument for the essential role of science in society and government’s responsibility to support scientific endeavors. First issued when Vannevar Bush was the director of the US Office of Scientific Research and Development during the Second World War, this classic remains vital in making the case that scientific progress is necessary to a nation’s health, security, and prosperity. Bush’s vision set the course for US science policy for more than half a century, building the world’s most productive scientific enterprise. Today, amid a changing funding landscape and challenges to science’s very credibility, Science, the Endless Frontier resonates as a powerful reminder that scientific progress and public well-being alike depend on the successful symbiosis between science and government. This timely new edition presents this iconic text alongside a new companion essay from scientist and former congressman Rush Holt, who offers a brief introduction and consideration of what society needs most from science now. Reflecting on the report’s legacy and relevance along with its limitations, Holt contends that the public’s ability to cope with today’s issues—such as public health, the changing climate and environment, and challenging technologies in modern society—requires a more capacious understanding of what science can contribute. Holt considers how scientists should think of their obligation to society and what the public should demand from science, and he calls for a renewed understanding of science’s value for democracy and society at large. A touchstone for concerned citizens, scientists, and policymakers, Science, the Endless Frontier endures as a passionate articulation of the power and potential of science.

Download or read book The Visible and Invisible Group written by Yvonne M. Agazarian and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the psychodynamics of groups has derived from the two separate strands of theory and practice, resulting in two separate disciplines: group psychotherapy and group dynamics. Present-day group psychotherapy derives mainly from psychoanalytic theory and Bion's early experiences with wartime groups, and has been developed from the work of clinicians who practice group psychotherapy as a form of treatment. Group dynamics theory and practice, on the other hand, have arisen largely from the work of social scientists like Kurt Lewin, have been researched in the field and in the laboratory, and have been applied to groups as arenas for leadership training and behavioral change. The Visible and Invisible Group synthesizes these psychoanalytic and group approaches to group life and offers practical guidelines to the group psychotherapist. The authors advocate the simultaneous use of two perspectives: the psychoanalytic perspective for observing the "visible" group of people and their interactions, and a General Systems "Field Theory" perspective for observing the "invisible" group-as-a-whole.

A chapter is devoted to the influence of emotional arousal in rehabilitation. The concluding chapter focuses on the relation of physical changes to emotional behavior. The book can provide useful information to psychologists, therapists, students, and researchers.
