Towards an Integrated Analytical Psychology presents a comprehensive review of some of the salient philosophical, cultural, social, and clinical ingredients that have gone into contemporary visions of human personality development and psychotherapy and proposes a “unified field” theory of mental representation which puts psychoanalytic, analytic, and cognitive-behavioral perspectives in a mutually integrative framework. The model proposed by Matthew Bennett, called Integrative Analytical Psychology, presents two major dimensions of personality development, and is integrative of Jungian and psychoanalytic perspectives, but places the Jungian concept of archetype as its core organizing principle. The six mental representations included within this model are: Archetype, Symbol, Object, Complex, Schema, and Self. This book strongly accents clinical application, and more broadly considers the applied clinical implications of these mental representations to psychotherapy and clinical practice. Towards an Integrated Analytical Psychology offers a novel model of understanding personality and will be of direct and immediate use for psychotherapists and students of psychotherapy, especially those from the psychoanalytic and analytic/Jungian tradition. It would also be of interest to social workers, marriage, and family therapists and psychiatrists.

The Handbook of Moral and Character Education offers a definitive, state-of-the-art synthesis of leading scholarship in moral and character education. A subject of international interest and the focus of numerous governmental curricular mandates, the moral development and character formation of students are increasingly recognized as an essential component of a well-rounded schooling experience. This comprehensive volume explores the philosophical, psychological, and educational issues that define the field; links robust theoretical and empirical foundations to effective classroom practice; highlights implications for civic engagement and social justice; and follows the lessons learned from moral and character education into contexts outside of schools.Fully revised and updated, this third edition features a refreshed research base, coverage of digital pedagogies, out-of-school programs, and informal learning, and discussions about the role of reason, emotion, cultural processes, and citizenship/democracy in education. Further, the book's substantive emphasis on diversity and equity in the field results in greater racial, ethnic, and geographic representation among contributing authors, inclusion of historically marginalized school communities and student identities, and coverage of practices such as transformative social and emotional learning (SEL), restorative justice, and education for environmental sustainability.

Combining painfully honest memoir, cultural analysis, and reporting, BoyMom is a humorous and heartbreaking deep dive into the complexities of raising boys in our fraught political moment.“Rapist, school-shooter, incel, man-child, interrupter, mansplainer, boob-starer, birthday forgetter, frat boy, dude-bro, homophobe, self-important stoner, emotional-labor abstainer, non-wiper of kitchen counters. Trying to raise good sons suddenly felt like a hopeless task.” As the culture wars rage, and masculinity has been politicized from all sides, feminist writer and mother of three boys Ruth Whippman finds herself conflicted and scared. While the right pushes a dangerous vision of fantasy manhood, her feminist peers often dismiss boys as little more than entitled predators-in-waiting. Meanwhile her home life feels like a daily confrontation with the triumph of nature over nurture. With young men in the grip of a loneliness epidemic and dying by suicide at a rate of nearly four times their female peers, Whippman asks: How do we raise our sons to have a healthy sense of self without turning them into privileged assholes? How can we find a feminism that holds boys to a higher standard but still treats them with empathy? And what do we do when our boys won't cooperate with our plans? Whippman digs into the impossibly contradictory pressures boys now face; and the harmful blind spots of male socialization that are leaving boys isolated, emotionally repressed, and adrift. Feminist gonzo-style, she spends months interviewing incels, reports on a conference for boys accused of sexual assault; crashes at a residential therapy center for young men in Utah, talks to a wide range of psychologists and other experts, and gets boys of all backgrounds to open up about sex, consent, porn, body image, mental health, cancel culture, screens, friendship and loneliness. Along the way, she finds her simple certainties about male privilege seriously challenged. With wit, honesty, and a refusal to settle for easy answers, BoyMom charts a new path to give boys a healthier, more expansive, and fulfilling story about their own lives.

A practical guide that encourages families to return to the basics of parenting in order to raise happy, respectful, and loving children.'This character-development book will appeal to not only parents and guardians but educators as well.” - Library Journal'Many will feel grounded by this book.'- BooklistThe rules and guidelines for raising families in our crisis-oriented, communication overloaded, high-pressure culture are changing by the minute. Yet, the fundamental principles of effective parenting remain. As parents seek to support children who are learning to hold their own in today's divided society, they need reassuring and consistent information on how to keep their family going in the right direction.In Steadfast Parenting: How to Raise Children of Character, educator, counselor, mother, and grandmother Patricia McGann shares practical advice for parents as they navigate the bumpy, unpredictable road of parenting. With a special focus on building a positive relationship between parents and children, McGann returns to the basics for how to raise happy, healthy, and kind kids.

Instead, parents and children can and should appreciate the relationship that is uniquely theirs. Referring to this guidetime and again, parents can find reassurance and helpful advice as they raise children of integrity who will contribute in a meaningful way to the world in which we live.

This volume examines the role and relevance of exemplars and the practice of imitation in character development and formation. While the role of exemplars and imitation in spiritual and moral formation has been an integral part of many religious and wisdom traditions, in recent times there has been limited theological and philosophical investigation into it and a dearth of interdisciplinary discussion. The book brings together relevant research and insights from leading experts within philosophy, psychology, and theology, with a slight emphasis on Christian approaches to exemplars and imitation, especially given the reflection on these themes throughout the history of the Christian intellectual and mystical tradition. Many of the contributions display an interdisciplinary approach into these issues; hence, this volume will be of interest to philosophers, psychologists, theologians, and others who work in moral psychology and character formation.

La expresión libre desarrollo de la personalidad se presenta integrada por tres términos diferentes que tienen todos ellos un significado fundamentalmente positivo y emotivo.La libertad representa un valor esencial para el individuo, cuya existencia parece cobrar tanto más sentido en la medida en que a lo largo de su vida se le permite optar ante diversas posibilidades que se le ofrezcan, sin someterse de antemano a ningún tipo de determinismo que resulte ajeno a su propia decisión…

In A Moral Case for Play: The Urgency of Advancing Moral Ecologies of Play in K-12 Schools, Levingston argues that schools must make room for character-building play because of its essential role in moral development. He utilizes field-based research, including interviews and observations from hallways, classrooms, playgrounds and lunchrooms at Catholic, Jewish, Progressive, Quaker, single-gender, and other non-sectarian schools. Levingston's timely new insights and explanations of the moral ecologies of play build on and intersect with the work of anthropologists, fellow educators and education-researchers, folklorists, medical researchers, psychologists, and STEAM educators. This book demonstrates that beyond physical and social play at recess, students need to engage in role-playing, along with language, number, kinesthetic, and imaginative play. Offering a new definition of play, Levingston's research shows how schools can create unique ecologies that promote moral growth, creativity, and a sense of community in any academic program.

In de adolescentie ontwikkelen jongeren een eigen identiteit; een belangrijk onderdeel van de eigen persoonlijkheid. Inzicht krijgen in de manier waarop identiteit gestalte krijgt is daarom essentieel voor iedereen die in het sociaal domein met jongeren werkt of jongeren begeleidt. In de nieuwe uitgave Identiteitsontwikkeling en begeleiding van jongeren wordt de ontwikkeling van identiteit behandeld vanuit de vragen ‘wie ben ik', ‘wat kan ik', ‘wat wil ik'? Hiermee leren (aankomende) sociaal professionals theoretische en praktische kennis combineren en toe te passen bij de begeleiding van jongeren. In het eerste deel van het boek wordt vanuit de theoretische invalshoek een psychologisch denkraam aangereikt voor het benoemen, analyseren en interpreteren van het gedrag en de ontwikkeling van jongeren op het gebied van sociale omgeving, persoonlijkheid, intelligentie en seksualiteit. Deze inzichten vanuit de ontwikkelingspsychologie stellen de (aankomende) jeugdprofessional in staat om in complexe situaties verantwoorde keuzes te maken. Weloverwogen beslissingen moeten opgevolgd worden door effectief handelen. Daarom wordt in het tweede deel aandacht besteed aan verschillende praktische vaardigheden voor het begeleiden van jongeren in het sociaal domein, in het jongerenwerk en in de jeugdzorg. In dit deel komen tevens gespreksvaardigheden aan bod die een doeltreffende begeleiding van jongeren bevorderen. Het laatste hoofdstuk gaat in op probleemgedrag bij jongeren.

The Science of Character makes a bold new claim for the power of the literary by showing how Victorian novelists used fiction to theorize how character forms. In 1843, the Victorian philosopher John Stuart Mill called for the establishment of a new science, “the science of the formation of character.” Although Mill's proposal failed as scientific practice, S. Pearl Brilmyer maintains that it found its true home in realist fiction of the period, which employed the literary figure of character to investigate the nature of embodied experience. Bringing to life Mill's unrealized dream of a science of character, novelists such as George Eliot, Thomas Hardy, and Olive Schreiner turned to narrative to explore how traits and behaviors in organisms emerge and develop, and how aesthetic features—shapes, colors, and gestures—come to take on cultural meaning through certain categories, such as race and sex. Engaged with materialist science and philosophy, these authors transformed character from the liberal notion of the inner truth of an individual into a materially determined figuration produced through shifts in the boundaries between the body's inside and outside. In their hands, Brilmyer argues, literature became a science, not in the sense that its claims were falsifiable or even systematically articulated, but in its commitment to uncovering, through a fictional staging of realistic events, the laws governing physical and affective life. The Science of Character redraws late Victorian literary history to show how women and feminist novelists pushed realism to its aesthetic and philosophical limits in the crucial span between 1870 and 1920.

Salman Akhtar presents three rich essays brimming with psychoanalytic theory on personality development and how such knowledge enhances treatment. Essay 1 starts at the earliest infancy and takes the reader all along the path past adolescence. It addresses key developmental landmarks, including: Establishing a satisfactory parental bond Moving towards autonomy and independence Acquiring a moral sense Consolidating identity. Essay 2 picks up after adolescence. It addresses the psychosocial challenges characteristic of young adulthood, midlife, and old age, such as: Assuming the role of a wage-earner and'house-holder'Enjoying sex, love, and marriage Downsizing and retiring from one's job Dealing with the deaths of friends and family and facing one's own mortality. Essay 3 builds upon the theory that has gone before and examines how a deepened understanding of psychic development can inform the clinician's approach. With an emphasis on development as a lifelong process, this essay provides clear guidelines for facilitating such growth, including: Creating psychic space for thinking Helping the patient find words for inner experiences Validating the patient's reality Enhancing the sense of personal agency in the patient. The complex tapestry woven by these three essays is extended by a prologue and an epilogue. The prologue opens with the'pre-self'- events before birth that impact on who we become. The epilogue discusses the'post-self'- how we'live on'as memories held by those who knew us. In Leaps and Bounds deepens the understanding of the nuances of human development. It is key reading for practising and trainee psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists to enhance their clinical practice. It is highly recommended for all enquiring minds looking to expand their knowledge of what makes us who we are.

Help your children develop moral character with this updated, 30th anniversary edition of the perennial classic The Book of Virtues.Almost 3 million copies of the Book of Virtues have been sold since it was published in 1993. It is one of the most popular moral primers ever written, an inspiring anthology that helps children understand and develop character—and helps parents teach it to them. Thirty years ago, readers thought that the times were right for a book about moral literacy. Back then, Americans worried that schools were no longer parents'allies in teaching good character. As the book's original introduction noted, “moral anchors and moorings have never been more necessary.” If that was true in the 1990s, it is even more true today. The explosion of information with the Internet has left many unsure of what is valuable and what is not. Responsibility. Courage. Compassion. Loyalty. Honesty. Friendship. Persistence. Hard work. Self-discipline. Faith. These remain the essentials of good character. The Book of Virtues contains hundreds of exemplary stories offering children examples of good and bad, right and wrong. Drawing on the Bible, American history, Greek mythology, English poetry, fairy tales, and modern fiction, William J. and Elayne Bennett show children the many virtuous paths they can follow—and the ones they ought to avoid. For the 30th anniversary edition, the Bennetts have slimmed down the book's contents, while also finding room to introduce such figures as Mother Teresa, Colin Powell, and heroes of 9/11 and the War in Afghanistan. Here is a rich mine of moral literacy to teach a new generation of children about American culture, history, and traditions—ultimately, the ideals by which we wish to live our lives. The updated edition of The Book of Virtues will continue a legacy of raising moral children far into a new century.

Con la lectura de esta obra dispondrás de información actualizada y rigurosa sobre el mundo emocional, podrás contemplar las situaciones con mayor claridad, de manera más honesta y efectiva, y ayudar a los que te rodean a mejorar sus habilidades y su bienestar. Han pasado más de dos décadas desde que la investigación de Daniel Goleman demostró que la inteligencia emocional es dos veces más importante que otras competencias para alcanzar el bienestar. Gestionar tus emociones y relacionarte bien con los demás, explicaba Goleman, te permite alcanzar mayores grados de influencia y satisfacción personal. Este tipo de inteligencia no es un rasgo innato: se puede aprender. Estar más sintonizado con tus emociones te permite decidir cómo usar esos sentimientos de forma más productiva para tomar decisiones más sólidas, dejar atrás los sentimientos negativos, controlarte en situaciones inestables o entender a los demás cuando actúan de formas que te sorprenden o te irritan. Este libro ofrece una selección de los artículos más importantes del archivo de Harvard Business Review. Todos ellos han sido escritos por investigadores expertos en la materia (psicólogos, especialistas en márqueting, profesores de liderazgo y cambio organizacional, …), entre los que destaca la aportación del propio Daniel Goleman.

Can your job change your personality? While traditionally personality has been considered fixed and stable, recent thinking indicates that this is not the case. Personality can be changed by various work and vocational experiences, such as employment conditions, career roles, job characteristics and training or interventions. Drawing on a wide array of research in the field, Wang and Wu provide a conceptual overview on how personality can be changed at work by societal, organisational and job-related factors, while considering how individuals can take an active approach in changing their personality at work.

The culmination of almost seven decades of research, A Trio of Pursuits: Puzzles in Human Development is the magnum opus of the career of Dr. Jerome Kagan, Emeritus Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, USA. This book summarizes three of the author's major research themes during a career that spanned from 1954 to present: preservation of individual traits, maturation of cognition and emotions, and the influence of two temperamental biases on personality. An introspective chapter on the deeper lessons learned by the author in research is also included, covering narratives such as the need to specify the context in which data are gathered, the need to supplement all self-reported data, studying puzzling observations rather than confirmation of a priori hypotheses, and avoiding the error of attributing psychological predicates to brain evidence. This book is a must-have for students and academics of Psychology and Cognitive Science, and may also be of interest to social scientists.

W książce autor analizuje teorię dezintegracji pozytywnej Kazimierza Dąbrowskiego ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem jej pedagogicznych implikacji dla współczesnych nauk społecznych. Koncepcja ta znalazła uznanie w świecie naukowym, ale pomimo tego jej recepcja podejmowana jest głównie poza granicami naszego kraju. Zajmuje się ona procesem ontogenetycznego rozwoju człowieka. Na tle innych tego typu teorii wyróżnia się tym, że w pozytywny sposób pojmuje dużą część zaburzeń psychicznych, zwłaszcza nerwice i psychonerwice. W inny sposób definiuje też zdrowie psychiczne i chorobę psychiczną. Zgodnie z nią część zaburzeń psychicznych dezintegrujących psychikę człowieka ma kluczowe znaczenie dla jego przyspieszonego rozwoju. Ten tok rozumowania teoria ta przenosi również na obszar zagadnień związanych z edukacją, zwłaszcza na problematykę uczniów zdolnych i związanych z nimi oddziaływań wychowawczych. Daje to rozległe pedagogiczne implikacje. Głównym celem publikacji jest przedstawienie oryginalnej koncepcji wybitnego polskiego badacza w kontekście edukacyjnym. Autor poszukuje odpowiedzi na pytanie, czy jej aplikacja w pedagogice i edukacji jest korzystna, czy też jest to koncepcja przestarzała, nieznajdująca już zastosowania. Zastosowaną metodą badawczą, jest hermeneutyczna analiza rozpraw Dąbrowskiego, która polega na interpretacji i rozumieniu zobiektywizowanych źródeł kulturowych, jakimi są jego teksty. Analizowane są zatem prace autora teorii dezintegracji pozytywnej i wydobywane z nich te treści, które dają możliwość wglądu w to, w jaki sposób rozumiał on kwestie edukacyjne i społeczne oraz jak wpisują się one dzisiaj w nauki społeczne i praktykę oświatową.

Quienes se adentren en la lectura de este libro, escrito para padres, madres y educadores en general, descubrirán en la formación del carácter uno de los objetivos educativos esenciales en la actualidad, donde la familia se sitúa en una posición aventajada y adquiere una responsabilidad ineludible. A través de sus distintos capítulos, se aborda un variado abanico de caminos por los que se invita a transitar al lector, aportándole una perspectiva teórico-práctica sobre diferentes temas vinculados entre sí. Así pues, muestra que los amigos son un regalo para toda persona y al mismo tiempo una tarea por hacer, aportando ideas para mejorar las habilidades sociales y comunicativas que faciliten el establecimiento de lazos de amistad. Junto a ello, se plantean las bases para una educación sexual integral, al tiempo que se propone la educación de la libertad como crucial para la generación de hábitos estables que formen el carácter. Se reflexiona sobre una concepción adecuada del complejo ejercicio de la autoridad y se profundiza en algunas de las experiencias fundamentales para el desarrollo humano como saber perdonar, ser capaz de agradecer y aprender a modular el carácter sobre la balanza de la sobriedad. Por último, se abordan relevantes cuestiones del urgente reto de la educación ambiental desde el ámbito familiar, y se detiene en las posibilidades para la difícil reconstrucción del vínculo afectivo en situaciones de vulnerabilidad, así como en la educación del carácter con menores con necesidades especiales. Un texto que nos facilita la lectura de manera continua a través de los distintos capítulos, o de manera particular en cada uno de ellos si el lector busca la reflexión particular y profunda en un tema concreto. Este libro se erige en los trabajos del grupo de investigación “El quehacer educativo como acción” (EDUCACCION) de la Universidad Internacional de La Rioja. Ha sido financiado por dos de sus proyectos “La educación del carácter como base de la formación integral de los estudiantes de secundaria y bachillerato” (2018-2020) y “El uso de las redes sociales y la formación en valores en la educación del carácter” (2020-2022).

Pedagogía de la Virtud: educar y educarse en la excelencia es una obra dedicada a todas aquellas personas que, de un modo u otro, influyen en la educación de otros individuos; bien porque sean docentes, madres, padres, tutores legales o simplemente porque estén concienciados con la importancia de los aspectos cívicos e interesados en el máximo despliegue de las potencialidades humanas, con especial énfasis en los aspectos éticos y en el cultivo de la excelencia. A lo largo del libro, se exponen diferentes aspectos para abordar la educación y el cultivo del propio carácter, en base a una visión ética, inclusiva y focalizada en una concepción del ser humano como miembro de un “nosotros global” en la que cada ser importa por el simple hecho de ser. Se pretende ayudar al lector a comprender la importancia de trabajar las rutinas y los hábitos para lograr desarrollarse del modo más excelente posible y también orientar a los profesionales de la enseñanza y a las familias con hijos en la esencial labor de educar en valores, de potenciar la moral autónoma (no guiada por imposiciones externas o por premios, sino por propia voluntad) y de colaborar en la construcción de un mundo más agradable, amable, responsable y en definitiva bueno para todos. La autora es docente en la Universidad Rey Juan Carlos.

El fin principal de este trabajo, como parte de las actividades académicas e investigativas en el marco del periodo posacuerdos de paz, es contribuir a mejorar el comportamiento de los estudiantes desde la formación inicial en el aula de clase. Esta investigación considera de manera especial la relevancia de la empatía en el desarrollo y progreso de las relaciones sociales entre los jóvenes, con la intención de crear un ambiente escolar propicio para la convivencia y la formación académica, específicamente en la búsqueda de la mitigación de la violencia en las aulas. Para lograrlo, se acudió a los corpus de teóricos que abordan en profundidad estos temas y se tuvo en cuenta la legislación colombiana acerca de la prevención y disminución de los conflictos en las instituciones educativas, a través de la Cátedra para la Paz y la Ley de Convivencia Escolar. El estudio tuvo un enfoque cualitativo, teniendo en cuenta la estrategia Investigación Acción Educación. Desde el análisis teórico se generaron estrategias de aula, enfocadas en determinar la influencia de la empatía en la mitigación de la violencia en el aula. Los resultados evidenciaron una disminución en los índices de maltrato verbal y físico dentro de la población estudiada. Por eso se concluye la importancia de implementar estas estrategias en los diseños curriculares institucionales, para mejorar el Índice Sintético de Calidad Educativa, referente al ambiente escolar, así como de ejecutar un plan de aula estructurado que incorpore el desarrollo de la empatía en la educación inicial, para llegar a una verdadera formación integral, base para la convivencia ciudadana.

“It's difficult to raise feminist boys when they're constantly barraged by misogynistic messages. This timely manual will help parents understand what it takes to model good behavior and set a positive example.” —Booklist (starred review)It's never too early to start talking to boys about gender, consent, and empathy. In a world still steeped in gender inequality and sexual violence, it's become more and more clear that we can't just teach girls to protect themselves. We must also teach boys not to do harm. As parents, we all want to raise kind and loving kids who will grow up to be conscientious adults. But when you look closely at our society—especially at the statistics surrounding rape, domestic violence, and sexual assault—it's clear that something needs to change. It's time to teach our sons compassion and empathy. It's time to show them that it's okay to cry, to laugh, to be angry, to be silly. It's time to teach them to respect girls, and not just the ones they think are pretty. It's time to teach them that it's not okay to pick on the queer kids, the little kids, and the fat kids. It's time to teach boys that it's not okay to treat kids of color like second-class citizens. It's time to teach our boys how to be conscious citizens. But where do you begin?Written by a clinical psychologist with expertise in modern families, Raising Feminist Boys is a parent's guide to having age appropriate conversations with boys about sexual responsibility, consent, gender, empathy, and identity. You'll find an accessible framework that includes developmental considerations, language, and clear tools for how to talk with your son about feminism without shame, fear, or judgment. We need to have honest and informative conversations with our sons about sex and consent. We must show them how to recognize and question gender norms and bias, both within the culture and, most importantly, within ourselves. Raising Feminist Boys will give you the tools you need to get started.

Este libro ofrece una concepción muy original del trauma así como de la fisiología de la mente, basada fundamentalmente en contribuciones de Bion. Todo ser humano ha sido fatalísticamente marcado por la presencia –y por la eventualmente ausencia–, de los objetos primarios. Muchas de estas ausencias-presentes podrían representar eventos temporales, sin embargo, muchas otras sobrepasan el escudo protector de Freud y se hacen permanentes, dando lugar a la presencia de un sufrimiento continuo o trauma preconceptual. Al igual que la hora del té del'sombrerero loco'en Alicia y el país de las maravillas, los traumas preconceptuales se convierten en un eterno'ahora', continuamente proyectado en todas direcciones. Estructuran la idiosincrasia de todo ser humano y dividen la mente en dos estados opuestos: traumatizado y no-traumatizado. Tentativamente, el espíritu y la naturaleza fundamental de la absoluta ubicuidad y significado del trauma preconceptual puede ser formulado como entidades estructuradas diacrónicamente en forma de una narrativa de presencias ausentes en conjunción constante; constituyen una especie de parásitos emocionales altamente tóxicos que habitan el inconsciente desde muy temprano, que se alimentan de tiempo y espacio, e inhiben los procesos de simbolización; los cuales son proyectados en todas partes y se reproducen a sí mismos continuamente, determinando de esta manera no sólo todas las formas de psicopatología, sino también la idiosincrasia de cada individuo.

Young people today know trouble from a host of sources: poverty, sexism and racism; the storms of a climate in turmoil; the loss of loved-ones to incarceration, addiction and suicide. This book is about the role that teachers can play in helping our young people transcend these troubles, honor the pain they feel, and channel their aggression in productive directions. But counseling and anti-bullying programs are not enough. The key is to open up the very content of the curriculum to the emotional life of the whole child.

Permanent sollen und wollen wir präsent sein. Kaum bleibt Luft zum Innehalten. Allgegenwärtige Medien schaffen eine Rundum-Verfügbarkeit. Wir brauchen ein starkes Immunsystem, um dabei nicht physisch oder psychisch zu erkranken. Dabei ist Resilienz die Fähigkeit, sich gegen widrige Umstände abgrenzen zu können. Sie schafft dem ICH ein autarkes Schutz-Schild, um nicht plötzlich ins ‚Aus'zu geraten. Ohne emotional-soziale Kompetenz geht heute gar nichts, ob im Berufsleben oder innerhalb der Gesellschaft. Auch in Partnerschaft, Familie und Freundeskreisen ist sie die Basis eines störungsarmen erfüllenden Miteinanders. Aber wo und wie wird diese Fähigkeit erworben? Was fördert oder behindert ihre Entwicklung? Wie werden Kinder zu starken Persönlichkeiten? Wo können Erwachsene ansetzen, um besser mit Belastungen umzugehen oder erst gar nicht in sie hinein zu geraten? Welche Auswirkungen haben Gender-Ideologien oder ungeregelte Migrations-Ströme auf die persönliche und gesellschaftliche Identität? Albert Wunsch zeigt detailliert auf, durch welche Faktoren Resilienz zum Schlüssel für mehr Lebensfreude wird. Ergänzend gibt das Buch wichtige Anstöße zur Selbst-Erkundung und zeigt praktische Handlungsschritte auf dem Weg zu mehr Ich-Stärke und einem optimierten Selbst-Management auf.

Die Beschäftigung mit der Theorie Transformativen Lernens ist nicht nur deshalb lohnenswert, weil sie existenzielle Veränderungsprozesse Erwachsener adressiert. Sie fundiert diese auch theoretisch im Kontext der Erwachsenenbildung und macht sie einer empirischen Erforschung zugänglich. Ihre aktuelle Diskussionslage ist jedoch in Teilen defizitär. Dieses Buch konstruiert systematisch kritisch Begrifflichkeiten, theoretische Konstrukte und Grundannahmen der Theorie nach Mezirow für den deutschsprachigen Leserkreis. Der Fokus liegt hierbei auf Mezirows Rezeption der Arbeiten von Habermas. Die Autorin legt Inkonsistenzen und Widersprüche frei, identifiziert dem Ansatz inhärente Leerstellen und arbeitet Möglichkeiten einer Weiterentwicklung Transformativen Lernens heraus.

Ein gutes Selbstmanagement, Selbsterkenntnis sowie Selbstvertrauen sind entscheidend für ein erfolgreiches und stressfreies Leben. Doch wie gelingt es uns, diese innere Haltung einzunehmen und selbstbewusst, geistig stark und in sich ruhend zu sein? Jutta Malzacher versteht es, mittels der Entwicklung der eigenen ICH-KULTUR darzustellen, wie man Stress und Frustration vermeidet, Gelassenheit entwickelt und Klarheit über seine persönlichen Kulturvariablen erhält. Jeder Mensch hat individuelle Fähigkeiten, Schwerpunkte und Erfahrungen, die im Berufs- und privaten Alltag unterschiedlich stark zur Geltung kommen. Stark ausgeprägte Fähigkeiten stehen meist im Mittelpunkt, während schwach ausgeprägte Fähigkeiten hingegen zu wenig Platz für den dauerhaften Erfolg einnehmen können. Diese Buch hilft dem Leser dabei, sich mit seinen eigenen Einflussfaktoren auseinanderzusetzen, und so an seiner eigenen ICH-KULTUR zu arbeiten. Im beruflichen Kontext braucht es vor allem in den Bereichen Leadership und Kommunikation Menschenkenntnis. Dafür sollten wir aber zunächst unsere eigenen Stressoren sowie die verschiedenen Einflüsse unserer beruflichen und privaten Lebenserfahrungen verstehen lernen. Sich eigenverantwortlich zu führen, heißt mehr als die eigenen Stärken und Schwächen zu kennen. Anhand von Beispielen und angewandten Coaching-Methoden zeigt die Autorin auf, dass Selbstführung durch eine ausgeprägte ICH-KULTUR das Fundament für die Führung von Mitarbeitern ist. Besonders die Geschichte über Gert Simon und Mine schildert auf anschauliche Art und Weise, wie dieser Lernprozess erfolgreich gestaltet werden kann.

The Life Story, Domains of Identity, and Personality Development in Emerging Adulthood focuses on individuals'formulations of the unique episodes and events of their lives that give one meaning and a sense of personal identity. This book brings the growing research on narrative study and the life story into focus by drawing from the existing research on personality development during emerging adulthood. In this book, authors Michael W. Pratt and M. Kyle Matsuba present a series of chapters exploring how one's life story manifests across the many components of their developing identity, including their religion, morality, vocation, society, and the relationships they have with their parents, peers, and romantic partners. Taking their cue from Erik Erikson's model of adolescent and adult development, the authors show readers exactly how a life story approach can illuminate the distinctive features of an individual's personality and development during this formative phase of life. Organized around a set of life contexts where personality is manifested (i.e. adjustment, personal ideology, close relationships, occupation, and civic life), this book draws on the authors'own longitudinal research on the development of the life story in emerging adulthood. Throughout the book, they incorporate fascinating case studies and historical examples (e.g., Darwin, Pope Francis, Martin Luther King, Jr., Jane Fonda) of individuals'unique development during this period of life in order to better illustrate the application of this approach to understanding the whole person in context.

Schulen sind zunehmend gefordert, nicht nur hochwertigen Fachunterricht anzubieten, sondern auch persönlichkeitsbildend tätig zu werden. Aus diesem Anspruch heraus hat sich ein eigenständiges pädagogisches Handlungsfeld in Schule konstituiert. Die hier vorliegende ethnografische Studie dokumentiert dazu zugehörige Maßnahmen wie Klassenrat oder Projektwochen im Spannungsfeld von Bildungs- und Erziehungsauftrag. Im Mittelpunkt steht – basierend auf praxistheoretischen und dispositivanalytischen Perspektiven – die soziale Praxis außerunterrichtlicher Angebote sowie Stipendienprogramme zur Persönlichkeitsbildung.

Most of us grow up believing it's more important to fit in than to stand out. But there's something different about you...and it matters. What if your weirdness was the key to changing everything? What if the outrageous, imaginative, crazy ideas that live inside your wildest dreams are actually there on purpose, divinely preinstalled to help others? Knowing what makes you weird is the best thing you can offer your art, your business, your friends, your family, and yourself. It's the essence of creativity, the stuff of movements, and the hope for humanity. It's time to quit painting by numbers, conforming to patterns, and checking off boxes. It's time to Get Weird.

Inteligencia emocional en la empresa de Daniel Goleman es un volumen de la colección «Imprescindibles» de Conecta, que reúne las ideas esenciales para el profesional y la empresa de hoy por los autores de referencia. --Edición en colaboración con Harvard Business Review-- ¿Qué distingue a los grandes líderes de los que son solo buenos? Según Daniel Goleman, no es el cociente intelectual o las aptitudes técnicas, sino la inteligencia emocional, cinco habilidades que permiten a los mejores líderes maximizar su rendimiento y el de sus seguidores: conciencia de uno mismo, autogestión, motivación, empatía y habilidad social. Y todos podemos mejorar esas aptitudes por medio de la persistencia, la práctica y las valoraciones de colegas o formadores. Muchos directivos suponen de forma equivocada que el estilo de liderazgo es consecuencia de la personalidad y no una elección estratégica. Hay seis estilos de liderazgo básicos y cada uno de ellos deriva de diferentes competencias de la inteligencia emocional. Cuantos más estilos domine un líder, mejor. Poder elegir entre los estilos autoritario, afiliativo, coercitivo, pionero, democrático y formativo cuando lo requieran las circunstancias genera el mejor clima en una organización y optimiza el negocio. Los «Imprescindibles» de Conecta, en colaboración con Harvard Business Review, permiten acceder a las grandes ideas de los autores de referencia que inspiran a directivos y profesionales. Este volumen reúne los textos «Liderazgo que da resultados» y «¿De qué está hecho un líder?» de Daniel Goleman, autor de Inteligencia emocional y El líder resonante crea más (Debolsillo, 2010), entre otras obras.

The General Factor of Personality improves our understanding of the personality structure and the relations between major personality dimensions, as well as major dimensions of the entire non-cognitive sphere of psychological variables. The results of the empirical testing and theoretical evaluations in this book contribute to the more comprehensive and precise theoretical framework of the General Factor of Personality (GFP) and that of the entire personality structure. Additionally, the book answers some unresolved questions concerning the nature of the GFP, including whether it is based more on correlations in real behavior or on other less substantial factors between lower-order dimensions of personality. This book is crucially important not only for theoretical reasons, but also for the tremendous practical and applied value of the assumed general dimension of personality. As a common denominator of all the most important fields of personality beyond cognition (Big Five, well-being, coping, emotionality, motivation, self-concept, self-esteem, control, wisdom and others), the GFP represents an extremely strong single predictor of the quality of life, mental health and well-being, career, academic success, and the quality of family and interpersonal relations. - Reviews the theoretical and methodological work on the General Factor of Personality (GFP) - Presents major research results in the field of GFP and the dimensional structure of personality - Provides a balanced and objective approach to the topic of GFP, addressing criticisms and controversies - Considers the practical and applied aspects of this research - Draws conclusions on the bioevolutionary model of GFP to give a more thorough understanding of biological bases of human personality
