Working Schemes? Active Labour Market Policy in Ireland

Working Schemes? Active Labour Market Policy in Ireland

Published in 1997 this book is an examination of the Irish experience with active labour market policy. This text looks at training in comparison with employment programmes and examines this in the context of strong and weak market orientation. The study is based on a survey which is used to analyze the effect of programme participation on short and long-term employment prospects and on income. The results show that market-orientation is a significant factor in employment scheme success a factor that has not been taken into account in recent policy changes.

Active Collections

Active Collections

In recent years many museums have implemented sweeping changes in how they engage audiences. However changes to the field’s approaches to collections stewardship have come much more slowly. Active Collections critically examines existing approaches to museum collections and explores practical yet radical ways that museums can better manage their collections to actively advance their missions. Approaching the question of modern museum collection stewardship from a position of tough love the authors argue that the museum field risks being constrained by rigid ways of thinking about objects. Examining the field’s relationship to objects artifacts and specimens the volume explores the question of stewardship through the dissection of a broad range of issues including questions of quality over quantity emotional attachment dispassionate cataloging and cognitive biases in curatorship. The essays look to insights from fields as diverse as forest management library science and the psychology of compulsive hoarding to inform and innovate collection practices. Essay contributions come from both experienced museum professionals and scholars from disciplines as diverse as psychology education and history. The result is a critical exploration that makes the book essential reading for museum professionals as well as those in training.

Femininity and the Physically Active Woman

Femininity and the Physically Active Woman

The fitness boom of the last two decades has led to many people incorporating exercise into their lifestyles through activities such as jogging and aerobics. However whilst many physical and psychological health benefits have been documented far too few people actually take part in enough exercise to glean significant improvements and this is much more a problem for women than men. Femininity and the Physically Active Woman explores one reason many women offer for their lack of involvement in sport and exercise - that they are not the 'sporty' type. Precilla Y. L. Choi argues that the 'sporty' type is masculine and to determine how this notion might affect women's self-perceptions she critically examines the experiences of women athletes bodybuilders recreational exercisers and girls' physical education. What emerges is the importance of visible differences between women and men in terms of muscularity strength and agility in order to maintain the gender order. Thus if a girl or woman wishes to play the masculine game of sport she must do so in conformity with a number of patriarchal rules which ensure she is first and foremost recognised as a heterosexual feminine being. Contributing to a psychology of the physically active woman by examining women's experiences from critical feminist and gendered perspectives Femininity and the Physically Active Woman will be of great interest to students researchers practitioners and teachers from a range of disciplines. Precilla Y. L. Choi is the British Association for the Advancement of Science's Joseph Lister Lecturer for 2000. She has co-edited with Paula Nicolson Female Sexuality (Prentice Hall).

Jung's Technique of Active Imagination and Desoille's Directed Waking Dream Method Bridging the Divide

Jung's Technique of Active Imagination and Desoille's Directed Waking Dream Method Bridging the Divide

Jung's Technique of Active Imagination and Desoille's Directed Waking Dream Method brings together Carl Jung’s active imagination and Robert Desoille’s rêve éveillé dirigé/directed waking dream method (RED). It studies the historical development of these approaches in Central Europe in the first half of the 20th century and explores their theoretical similarities and differences proposing an integrated framework of clinical practice. The book aims to study the wider European context of the 1900s which influenced the development of both Jung’s and Desoille’s methods. This work compares the spatial metaphors of interiority used by both Jung and Desoille to describe the traditional concept of inner psychic space in the waking dreams of Jung’s active imagination and Desoille’s RED. It also attempts a broader theoretical comparison between the procedural aspects of both RED and active imagination by identifying commonalities and divergences between the two approaches. This book is a unique contribution to analytical psychology and will be of great interest for academics researchers and post-graduate students interested in the use of imagination and mental imagery in analysis psychotherapy and counselling. The book’s historical focus will be of particular relevance to Jungian and Desoillian scholars since it is the first of its kind to trace the connections between the two schools and it gives a detailed account of Desoille’s early life and his first written works. This book was a Gradiva Award nominee for 2021. | Jung's Technique of Active Imagination and Desoille's Directed Waking Dream Method Bridging the Divide

The Axial Age emphasized seeking the universal connection that unites all humanity a focus not on what one believed but how one lived. This includes the human desire to connect to something greater the totality of being human explained by using symbols the universal language. This volume describes the psychological implications of the Axial Age through the developments of Buddhism Hinduism Confucianism Daoism Judaism and Zoroastrianism as well as Greek thought. Rooted in the Axial Age Volume One explores how the Christian and Islamic eras influenced psychology which resulted in the Renaissance and the Scientific Revolution which provided the historic roots of modern psychology. Rejecting the idea that science transcends historical events this volume provides a political socioeconomic and cultural context for all the historic developments. The chapter on the history of mental illness provides inspiration for a new mental health system with specific recommendations for radical system reform. In the spirit of the Axial Age on the importance of how one lives there is an emphasis on engagement with symbols and with specific exercises called emancipatory opportunities to apply the lessons of psychological history to daily life.

The Art of Listening

The Art of Listening

Originally published in 1986. This collection of essays is unified by one leading idea: that the active and creative abilities of listeners and readers deserve as much attention as the skills of speakers and writers. It is shown that hearers far from being passive recipients in the communicative process are in fact active in selecting interpreting and creating from the disparate signals they receive. Equally readers are involved in creating individual patterns of significance from a text. In presenting this argument some essays deal with the importance of gender considerations some with special modes of writing such as the private diary and literary translations and others with the more familiar fields of poetry and drama. In the sphere of popular music distinctions such as ‘folk’ and ‘pop’ indicate special problems in assessing the ‘authenticity’ of a listener’s response. By concentrating on active listening the collection develops and illustrates the conviction that there are fundamental premises underlying the various disciplines under review the analysis of which makes for a fuller understanding of communication in all its forms. | The Art of Listening
