Since Diogenes the discourse on health, well-being, management, culture, values and organisations has been vivid. The attitudes and mental images which guide a person to lead a life of well-being, health and happiness have been the topic of much discussion. Managing healthy transcultural organisations is based on the strength and the sense of coherence (SOC) of individuals, to comprehend, manage and create meaning in challenging work situations. To cope with these challenges, managers need to activate their individual resources and increase their transcultural and conflict management competences. In our management and consultancy practice, we experience the importance of interlinking health and well-being on the one hand with transcultural communication and conflict management on the other hand. A systemic approach supports the development of the three SOC components effectively and contributes to well-being within individuals and the organisation. In this book, we present MEHTO, a coaching and training module for managers which includes individual counselling sessions, group training series, as well as team mentoring and facilitator training. We have developed MEHTO through man- agement research in international organisations and global players, as well as through our experience in international and transcultural management consultancy. Particularly during the past years of global economic crisis, we have recognized the need for increasing mental health in man- agers and organisations. We believe that managers and organisations in the 21st century require a shift towards holistic and spiritual values to promote sustainable healthy organisations. This manual aims at developing health-oriented management practices which focus on individual and organisational well- being across cultures. It is a manager’s Handbook or Vademecum towards a successful and healthy leadership mindset. En- joy it!

Trauma Psychology in Context: International Vignettes and Applications by Robert F. Morgan, Ph.D., University of Arkansas at Little Rock with guest contributions from Jesus Aros, Peter Allen Brown, Cecilia Chu, Joseph O. Prewitt Diaz, Paul Fisher, Keith Harris, Bertram Karon, Michael Knowles, Nigel Marsh, Adam McCray, Angel Kwan-Yin Morgan, Nenna Ndukwe, Zackery Olson, Jerold Shapiro, Benjamin Tong, Mark Yoslow Book Description: With growing trauma from economic and natural disasters, the massive influx of returning veterans and victims of the various ongoing wars and other conflicts, interest in the psychology of trauma expanded exponentially, moving from important to essential. Graduate and post-graduate programs for mental health practitioners now need strong curricular opportunities for training in the psychology of trauma. Current innovations in this field draw from lifespan development, community, social, existential, and clinical psychology, as will this book. The recent applications of Chaos Theory to clinical psychology, and now trauma psychology, initiated by the work of Michael Butz (1997, 2004) has been added to this mix and will be part of many chapters. Many of the vignette contributors teach this class and supervise graduate students in practicum and internship settings at universities in the United States and in an Australian university in Singapore. This is current international text replete with vignettes, applications, and case histories. Trauma Psychology as a rapidly growing field can benefit from a new text that has viability for both professionals in mental health and those training to be professionals in mental health. The primary area of impact for this book is addressing the prevention and treatment of trauma, both at individual and community levels and across the lifespan. ISBN-13: 978-1885679192 448 pages paperback January 2012 Excerpts can be viewed at www.amazon.com REVIEW (An April 24th 2012 Review by Dr. Hans Toch): “The new book arrived this morning. I fully intended to put it lovingly aside for a day or two and get back to work, which is what I am supposed to be doing this afternoon. But I have found unfettered creativity irresistible, and have discovered that I have zero resistance to ingeniously interspersed evocative illustrations. I first turned to Karon’s Afterword. His repetition of the opening sentence as a concluding sentence is a stroke of genius, reminiscent of a good musical composition. As a whole, this book is the sort of collage that is irrepressible, and consequently, inescapably thought-provoking.” Hans Toch, PhD, is a Professor of Social Psychology at the State University of New York’s School of Criminal Justice. A social psychologist working in criminology and criminal justice administration, Hans Toch is a prolific author whose books include Living in Prison (Free Press, 1975), Violent Men (Aldine, 1969), The Disturbed Violent Offender (with Ken Adams, Yale, 1989), Police as Problem Solvers (with J.D. Grant, Plenum, 1991), Mosaic of Despair (A.P.A. Books, 1992), Police Violence (with William Geller, Yale, 1996), Corrections: A Humanistic Approach, (Harrow and Heston, 1997) and Acting Out (with Ken Adams), APA Books, 2002. Hans Toch is an elected Fellow of the American Psychological Association and the American Society of Criminology, and in 1996 he served as president of the American Association for Forensic Psychology. He was a member of the Governor's Task Force on Juvenile Violence and a consultant to the National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence.

International Case Studies in Mental Health Click here to download flier (PDF file) Editors: Senel Poyrazli (The Pennsylvania State University) and Chalmer E. Thompson (Indiana University - Purdue University) Paperback Price: $40.00 ISBN: 978-1-4129-9035-6 May 2012, 360 Pages International Case Studies in Mental Health presents a variety of global cases from both developed and developing countries, detailing descriptions of the people who are seeking help to eliminate their distress and of the exceptional practitioners who provide the help. In most of the cases, the practitioner is someone who shares a similar heritage with her or his help-seeker, and who is influenced at least partly by Western psychotherapy traditions. Each chapter also is a showcase of how scholars pair up with mental health practitioners to create a work that weaves together contextual and individual qualities to inform an understanding of the help-seeker and the intervention. This book aims to help prepare both mental health trainees and practicing professionals to be effective in the provision of healing in their work with people in different regions of the world. Consequently, the authors hope to offer practitioners a glimpse of what can be achieved in these regions by people whose reputations within the respective communities are strong. Key Features: - A combination of cross-national and multicultural issues demonstrates how the confluence of these literatures helps to create a holistic perspective of help-seekers and the interventions they receive. - The authors convey the need for practitioners to view their roles more flexibly by presenting a range of issues that arise for the help-seekers and then challenging the readers to expand their basic knowledge of the profession. - Western and indigenous practices are integrated throughout the book. - This title pairs a presentation of indigenous practices with a “healthy” critique of the sole use of Western practices, and includes detailed descriptions of indigenous treatment and evaluation practices followed by evidence of their success. This presentation further develops the readers’ understanding of cross-national or multicultural psychology integration. - Ecological approaches to crisis counseling are illustrated with rich descriptions of the contexts, nature of crises, and the people who experience them. Reproductive Justice: A Global Concern Book description: Reproductive Justice: A Global Concern provides a comprehensive and integrated examination of the status of reproductive rights for the world's women, covering a wide range of reproductive rights issues. Topics include women's rights to determine their own sexuality and choose their own partners, rape, sex trafficking, fertility treatments and other assisted reproductive technologies, contraception and abortion, maternal and infant mortality, postpartum support, and breastfeeding.

Visions in conflict: International Perspectives on values and enmity A conflict in visions stands at the center of major international and national crises in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, or elsewhere. Whether in mass killing, genocide, or intractable conflict, ideology is usually present and plays important role. By ideology (political, religious, economic, social, or some other) is meant visions of social arrangements and human relations that provide meaning and hope for a group. Such ideologies can identify others as enemies who stand in the way of their fulfillment. In March 2007 American Psychological Association Division 36 Psychology of Religion hosted two symposia entitled ‘Visions in Conflict' at the mid-year conference held at Loyola College, Maryland USA . Eight speakers addressed topics of understanding, forgiveness, and creative conflict resolution with respect to national and international crises. Since 2007, we have organized a series of symposia entitled ‘Visions in conflict’ for the national conferences of the American Psychological Association and APA Division 36 Psychology of Religion midyear conferences. For more information, please visit us at www.visionsinconflict.com The purpose of the Visions in conflict series is to express much of the good work being done in the field of conflict resolution and peace building around the world. This is especially relevant in the arenas of: acknowledgement and understanding of the “other” (including interfaith dialogue); communication through conflict and forgiveness. Second, we aim to open up the field in order to invite dialogue with other practitioners engaged in similar work. Finally, we publish the works of practitioner-scholars as a means of illustrating practical, 'in vivo'/in the field operations and processes that have worked so that others working in such arenas may be more effective in the creation and building of peace and understanding within and between the diversity of peoples. This volume contains some of those presentations from recent symposia and essays written by other experts from around the world on powerful vehicles of conflict resolution-namely, religion, psychology, education and training, psychotherapy, and sports. The essays shed light on the process of peace and reconciliation in challenging venues from South Africa and the Congo to Rwanda, Iraq, and Kosovo. Sincerely yours, Brian C.

This book argues compellingly that it is, and tells you all you need to know about noise as a social, cultural, environmental and health issue. Across the world, more people are disturbed by noise in their day-today lives than by any other pollutant on Earth. From the shanty towns of Mumbai to the smart boulevards of Paris, noise is a problem. It is damaging people’s health, costing billions, and threatening the world’s natural sound systems in the same way that climate change is altering its eco-systems. Drawing on evidence from all over the world, this book showcases policies and strategies that have worked to decrease noise pollution, and offers lessons for policymakers and environmental health professionals, campaigners and any individual affected by noise. Written by a renowned noise campaigner and experts in law and health, this book tells you all you need to know about noise as a social, cultural and environmental issue and how we can act to build a more peaceful world.

The authors resist the traditional storylines of great achievements by eminent people, or schools of thought that rise and fall in the wake of scientific progress. Instead, psychology is portrayed as a network of scientific and professional practices embedded in specific temporal, social, political, and cultural contexts. The narrative is informed by three key concepts—indigenization, reflexivity, and social constructionism—and by the fascinating interplay between disciplinary Psychology and everyday psychology. The authors complicate the notion of who is at the center and who is at the periphery of the history of psychology by bringing in actors and events that are often overlooked in traditional accounts. They also highlight how the reflexive nature of Psychology—a science produced both by and about humans—accords history a prominent place in understanding the discipline and the theories it generates. Throughout the text, the authors show how Psychology and psychologists are embedded in cultures that indelibly shape how the discipline is defined and practiced, the kind of knowledge it creates, and how this knowledge is received. The text also moves beyond an exclusive focus on the development of North American and European psychologies to explore the development of psychologies in other indigenous contexts, especially from the mid-20th-century onward.

Auricle Ink Publishers announces the release of The Consumer Handbook on Hearing Loss and Noise, Marshall Chasin, Au.D., Editor. “This book was prompted by the need for education. As we know, noise is the Number One most preventable cause of hearing loss worldwide,” said Richard Carmen, Publisher, “and while there have been significant strides toward getting the word out about the dangers of noise, there remain high risk factors in many segments of industry and even for recreational participants.” The roster of contributors include top scholars in their respective areas including Alberto Behar, Richard Salvi, Ed Lobarinas and Wei Sun, Arline Bronzaft, Brian Fligor, Margaret Cheesman, Thais Morata, David Baguley, Ken Einhorn, Douglas Lewis, Lee Hager and William Gastmeier. This 224-page handbook covers information that both consumers and industry need to know, and would be a highly useful and beneficial educational tool for university courses. Chapter topics include basics of hearing loss, noise and measurement; anatomy/physiology; harmful physical/mental effects; recreational noise; hearing in noise; combination of noise with chemicals in the workplace; tinnitus/hyperacusis; medical consequences; hearing healthcare and the law; standards and protection; and architectural strategies. There is an extensive glossary and index. Those interested in previewing this book may visit the publisher’s website for excerpts from all chapters.

Sharpes, Arizona State University This Handbook provides windows into worldwide research endeavors, including countries not usually widely known in international education studies. The goal of this compendium is to foster the understanding of research and education from different national and cultural perspectives, and to support the exchange of ideas and people who conduct research and development activities. From these varied individual and collaborative research projects we can infer directions for our own research agenda and for policy development.  The resulting chapters represent a respectable cross-section of international research efforts. The total is representative of the variety of research techniques. Additionally, there are more women than men contributors, with sufficient representation from Muslim, Asian and developing country contributors.  These seventeen chapters are an indication of what is occurring in the global educational marketplace. They represent a sound and current balance of international studies in education that can be used as models for development elsewhere. Reading them can motivate researchers everywhere to maintain a high level of scholarship that will benefit international and comparative studies and the academic profession.  TABLE OF CONTENTS Foreword, Eva L.

Spanning four volumes, State Violence and the Right to Peace brings together the views of shopkeepers, day laborers, clerical workers, students, teachers, social workers, veterans, and others talking about governmental aggression, torture, and protesting acts of war. These views—from Europe, North America, South America, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia—are seen in the context of major historical battles, including the empire-building of Western European countries, the emergence and contraction of the Soviet Union, and the wars in the Middle East. As this remarkable resource shows, there are some surprising similarities in thinking about war and peace across nations and cultures—and some equally surprising cases where opinions diverge.  Title Features: Comprises the work of over 100 contributors and researchers from 43 different countries, highlighting their countries' experiences with war and peace Numerous firsthand quotes illustrate views of ordinary people on state violence and the rights of citizens Extensive reference section in each volume documents the experiences with war and peace in each country Includes a comprehensive index  About the Author: Kathleen Malley-Morrison, director of the Group on International Perspectives on Governmental Aggression and Peace (GIPGAP), is professor of psychology at Boston University. Internationalizing the History of Psychology (New Paperback Edition) Adrian C. Brock (Ed.)  While the United States was dominant in the development of psychology for much of the twentieth century, other countries have experienced significant growth in this area since the end of World War II. The percentage of those in the discipline who live and work in the United States has been growing smaller, and it is now impossible to completely understand the field if developments in psychology outside of the United States are ignored.  Internationalizing the History of Psychology brings together luminaries in the field from around the world to address the internationalizing of psychology, each raising core issues concerning what an international perspective can contribute to the history of psychology and to our understanding of psychology as a whole. For too long, much of what we have taken to be the history of psychology has actually been the history of American psychology. This volume, ideal for student use and for those in the field, illuminates how what we have been missing may change our views of the nature of psychology and its history.  Contributors: Ruben Ardila, Geoffrey Blowers, Adrian C.

Anchin Research Center Series on Educational Policy in the 21st century: Opportunities, Challenges, and Solutions focuses on tribal colleges and universities. As a new member of higher education community, tribal colleges and universities provide a unique perspective on higher education policy. Policies and structures rely increasingly on native culture and traditions and yet provide the framework for academic rigor, collaboration, and relevance.  Tribal colleges and universities have played an integral role in the growing numbers of students who attain the bachelor’s degree. These colleges and universities experienced a five-fold increase in student enrollment between 1982 and 1996. Today, approximately 142,800 American Indians and Alaska Natives age 25 and older hold a graduate or professional degree, and tribal colleges and universities have been integral to this graduate level attainment.  With this edited volume, Dr. Linda Sue Warner and Dr. Gerald E. Gipp, and the contributing scholars have provided a comprehensive explication of the phenomenal history of tribal colleges and universities in the United States and the policy issues and concerns that they face.  For more information: http://infoagepub.com/index.php?id=9&p=p48c9d38b614b5   Multicultural Families, Home Literacies, and Mainstream Schooling  Edited by Guofang Li, Michigan State University  For more information: http://infoagepub.com/index.php?id=9&p=p496d4ed891816  A volume in the series: Literacy, Language and Learning Series Editor(s): Patricia Ruggiano Schmidt, Le Moyne College  Lack of knowledge about immigrant and minority students’ learning outside school has contributed to the difficulties educators encounter when trying to embrace cultural diversity. Many educators lack a knowledge base about immigrant and minority children’s culturally-specific ways of learning in nonschool settings. Given the changing cultural landscapes in today’s schools, we must develop more situated understandings of immigrant and minority children’s literacy learning experiences embedded in the social and cultural fabrics of their everyday lives outside school. This volume of research meets this important need. It not only focuses on the complexity of literacy learning in diverse home contexts, but also examines how literacy is practiced and lived in multiple ways within families of various backgrounds including those of Asian, African and African-American, Hispanic, White European and mixed heritages. In addition, it explores how these various culturally embedded home practices will inform school education and policy making in a larger socio-political context.    For more information: http://infoagepub.com/index.php?id=9&p=p496d4ed891816 Opportunity’s Shadow and the Bee Moth Effect: When Danger Transforms Community by Robert F.

Lamham, Maryland: Lexington Books isbn-10: 0-7391-1565-0 FROM THE BACK COVER: Fear of Persecution takes a comprehensive and absorbing look at a problem that has become an all too familiar part of the global landscape: the tens of millions of refugees who have fled their homes in a desperate search for safe haven, and who are invisible to most of us, for most of the time. The plight of the refugee or the internally displaced person is easily ignored or sidelined, especially at a time when many nations are preoccupied with security issues at the expense of humanitarian concerns. For the first time in a single volume, James D. White and Anthony Marsella bring together essays that address the legal, historical, ethical and political facets emerging from the stories of those who flee in fear. Fear of Persecution discusses and critically analyzes international approaches and debates human rights issues and interests. It provides a wide-ranging examination of the legal and moral issues involved, ranging from the use of torture, to humanitarian crises, to genocide. The book also takes an imaginative look at possible ways to build understanding, promote healing and keep a more substantial peace than presently known. Submitted by: Anthony J.

Stevens) Click here to download flier (PDF) World events have raised pressing questions and concerns for psychology as it is practiced throughout the world. The Handbook of International Psychology chronicles the discipline and profession of psychology, as it is evolving in different regions, in the hope of reducing the parochial and ethnocentric nature of American psychology. The Handbook surveys the history, methodology, education and training, and future of psychology in twenty-seven countries from nine distinct regions across six continents. Some of these counties have rich histories in psychology, such as Argentina and Germany, some have emerging psychologies, such as Indonesia and Kenya, some are lesser-known, such as China and India, and still others are marked by massive social change, such as Iran and Poland. Michael Stevens and Danny Wedding, the editors, have carefully selected all contributors, as well as an editorial advisory board created especially for this project. Each chapter follows a standard outline, unifying the volume as a whole, but allowing for the expression cultural diversity and the distinctive nature of psychology in each country. The Handbook of International Psychology is published by Bunner-Routledge and will be available this summer. Bunner-Routledge is offering a 20% discount on the purchase price to anyone registered for the 2004 APA Convention; other discounts are being arranged for international buyers.

The volume includes broadly conceived theoretical and survey chapters; detailed descriptions of specific healing traditions in Asia, the Americas, Africa, and the Arab world; and chapters focusing on such current issues as multicultural concerns within societies, specific populations, such as refugees, and the integration of traditional and modern forms of counseling and healing.
