Download or read book Stability and Change in Relationships written by Anita L. Vangelisti and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-04 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding interpersonal relationships requires understanding actors, behaviors, and contexts. This 2002 volume presents research from a variety of disciplines that examine personal relationships on all three levels. The first section focuses on the factors that influence individuals to enter, maintain, and dissolve relationships. The second section emphasizes ongoing processes that characterize relationships and focuses on issues such as arguing and sacrificing. The third and final section demonstrates that the process of stability and change are embedded in social, cultural, and historical contexts. Chapters address cultural universals as well as cross-cultural differences in relationship behaviors and outcomes. The emergence of relational forms, such as the interaction between people and computers, is also explored. Stability and Change in Relationships will be of interest to a broad range of fields, including psychology, sociology, communications, gerontology, and counselling.
Download or read book Change Processes in Relationships written by Alan Fogel and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-05-25 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just as each person develops from infancy to adulthood, all interpersonal relationships have a life history that encompasses the changes in how people communicate with each other. This book is about how a relationship transforms itself from one pattern of communication to another. The authors present a unique research method called 'relational-historical research', based on advances in dynamic systems theory in developmental psychology, and qualitative methods in life history research. It rests on three premises: that the developing relationship (not the individual) is the unit of analysis; that change emerges from, but is not entirely constrained by, the patterns of the past; and that the developmental process is best revealed by making frequent observations within a particular case before, during, and after a key developmental transition. Looking specifically at the mother–infant relationship, this is a compelling piece of research that will appeal to an international audience of intellectuals and practitioners.

Download or read book Couples and Change Psychology Revivals written by Barbara Jo Brothers and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-10 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1996, this enlightening book about facilitating therapeutic change within the couple relationship opens with a transcript of one of a series of lectures by Virginia Satir. It presents readers with Satir’s observations – observations that show the difference between thinking with systems in mind and thinking linearly – of process, interrelatedness and attitudes. Readers will find these and the observations of contributors that follow full of practical application potential. In this title the editor brings together contributors who show how to affect change in couples by explaining dynamics of the male/female relationship and by expanding upon the roles of the therapist. Specifically, contributors give readers information about: Male/female relationships over a 30, 000-year history and how history may have affected present day relationships between men and women Therapists as merely resource providers who facilitate self-discovery and self-solutions The necessity of marital therapy in maintaining stability and change from both systemic-interpersonal and intrapersonal perspectives Psychodynamic, affective and insight-oriented, marital therapy The consultative conversation model and its relationship to the change process in couples therapy Fostering change of psychological (emotional and verbal) abuse Why women leave abusive relationships The use of a specific physical posture for assessing a couple’s interactive style Therapists who work with couples will keep Couples and Change within reach and refer to it often as they help couples develop more healthy, satisfying relationships.

Download or read book Change Processes in Child Psychotherapy written by Stephen R. Shirk and published by Guilford Press. This book was released on 1996-08-02 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking work advances a developmental perspective on both the basic processes of therapeutic change and the classification of childhood problems, offering a novel approach to the search for effective treatments for children. Generating a new flow of ideas between clinical practice and empirical research, the volume revitalizes basic modalities such as psychodynamic, play and cognitive therapies by identifying the core ingredients that enhance and retard the processes of change. The authors also demonstrate the limitations of utilizing diagnostic labels as the basis for assessing treatment efficacy, arguing instead for an integrative approach that links methods of intervention with a case-relevant analysis of the child's emotional, interpersonal and cognitive development. This book will appeal to clinical and school psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and other clinicians working with children, as well as researchers in the field. It also serves as a text in graduate-level courses on child treatment and child psychopathology.

Download or read book Systems Engineering for Business Process Change written by Peter Henderson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A very large proportion of commercial and industrial concerns in the UK find their business competitiveness dependent on huge quantities of already installed, legacy IT. Often the nature of their business is such that, to remain competitive, they have to be able to change their business processes. Sometimes the required change is radical and revolutionary, but more often the required change is incremental. For such incremental change, a major systems engineering problem arises. The cost and delay involved in changing the installed IT to meet the changed business requirements is much too high. In order to address this issue the UK Engineering and Physical Science Research Council (EPSRC) set up, in 1996, a managed research programme entitled Systems Engineering for Business Process Change (SEBPC). I was appointed as co-ordinator of the programme. The overall aim of this new managed research programme was to release the full potential of IT as an enabler of business process change, and to overcome the disabling effects which the build-up of legacy systems has on such change. As such, this aim addressed a stated objective of the Information Technology and Computer Science (IT&CS) part of EPSRC to encourage research at a system level.

Download or read book The Process A Proven Strategy for Creating Emotionally Healthy Leadership in Relationships Business and in Life written by Bill Hoffman and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2020-08-22 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership is a lifestyle, not a vocation. The Process creates emotionally intelligent leadership starting in your relationships, and extending into your business and your entire life Over the years, I have counseled hundreds of people. The "help" I shared with couples in crisis has now evolved into a repeatable Process that, when entered into with full commitment, can bring life transformation from the inside out that not only saves marriages, but changes lives for the better in all directions. What I learned in developing and implementing the Process was that sustainable change and growth depends on the changes you apply to your every-day life, relationships, and thought patterns. These changes stem from a deep inward change. They are not sustainable unless they are transformations that occur inwardly and are expressed outwardly. This book summarizes the Process. It contains probing and powerful questions at the end of each chapter, questions designed to help you discover your own way forward. Whether you are struggling as an individual, in a relationship, or married, the Process will point you in the direction of seeking and receiving help as a lifestyle, not as a solution to a problem. It will illuminate the difference between destination orientation, and journey orientation, not only in your relationships but in all aspects of your life. It will show you how true leadership starts in your own life and your own home, and is then translated out into your vocation and your community.

Download or read book Growing Together written by Frieder R. Lang and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-11-10 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding personal relationships throughout the life course is one of the most crucial issues in the behavioral and social sciences. This book brings together perspectives from different disciplines on individual development and personal relationships across the life span. The book addresses two pertinent dimensions of personal relationships: 1) structures of relationship networks (e.g. kin vs non-kin, peripheral vs intimate, short-term vs long-term) and 2) processes (i.e. change or stability) and outcomes of personal relationships across the life span. The book stimulates discussion of personal relationships as resources for and outcomes of individual development throughout the life course. Different qualities of personal relationships serve as catalysts for individual development. At the same time, relationship qualities reflect changes of developing individuals. The book does not give exclusive priority to one phase of the human life span. Rather, each chapter addresses social development across the entire life span from childhood to later adulthood.

Download or read book The Relationship of the Significant Other to the Therapeutic Change Process written by Sara Murray and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative study was conducted in order to develop a better understanding of how the significant other's experience of a partner's individual therapy and therapist affects the therapeutic change process. A semi-structured interview technique was used with the goal of richly describing the thoughts and feelings of significant others whose partners reported significant change following a course of psychotherapy. Brief interviews were also conducted with the person who had been in therapy. The participants were eight couples who had been romantically involved for two to eight years. Five were married and three were cohabiting. Subjects were balanced across gender but not sexual orientation; the final sample was skewed towards heterosexual couples. Following the interviews, the data were coded using the qualitative research techniques outlined by Auerbach and Silverstein (2003). One of the major findings was that the significant others were not only affected by but also affected the therapeutic change process. Therapy evoked both positive and negative feelings in the significant other, and while the positive feelings appeared to aid in the change process, the negative feelings did not seem to interfere nor did they seem to damage the couple's romantic connection. None of the relationships of the participants in this study dissolved following one partner's psychotherapy. In fact, most of the subjects found that the therapy led to improvements in their communication and overall closeness. Another important finding was that candid post-session discussions between patient and significant other seemed to augment the therapy and deepen the romantic relationship. One of the major drawbacks of this study was that it was conducted with a small, self-selected group of participants, the majority of whom were Caucasian, heterosexual, and college educated. Additionally, key variables such as the presenting problem, length of time of relationship, quality of the relationship, and previous experience with therapy were not controlled for. While this was seen as an exploratory study from the outset, it is important to keep in mind that the highly selected nature of this group of subjects would make generalization of the findings unfeasible.
