by Joseph Warren GauldWhat Kids Want-And Need-From Parents is truly a seminal book in parenting.It begins with one man's 50-year journey to discover a better way to prepare American kids for life and culminates with the amazing discovery: the biggest factor in children's success in life turns out to be dependent on how their parents deal with their own childhood!Teacher Joe Gauld sets out to change American education in the 60s, founding the Hyde School in Bath, Maine, committed to the idea every student is gifted with a unique potential. But by tracking Hyde graduates in life, he finds parenting a much larger influence on their later lives than schooling. So in 1974, he begins a program to regularly address parental growth and family issues.Hyde's extraordinary ability to bond family and school receives national media attention, and Hyde grows into a network of seven private and public schools, plus a national Hyde Biggest Job® parent program.Joe increasingly centers his work on families, finding parenting heavily influenced by how parents were raised. So parents' learning how to effectively deal with both the negative as well as the positive aspects of their upbringing becomes critical to effective parenting. Joe carefully leads the reader through this dynamic and ground-breaking parenting process.

by Hans-Jürgen GauglHans-Jürgen Gaugl gibt einen kurzen Überblick über die Wechselwirkungen zwischen Politik und Gesellschaft sowie die Bedeutung von Konflikten in der Demokratie aus der Perspektive des Konfliktmanagements. Denn sowohl seitens der Bürgerinnen und Bürger als auch in der Politik werden jene Stimmen lauter, die eine Demokratiereform fordern.

Schwiegermutter – Kind – Schwiegerkind: Schlachtfeld oder Chance
by Hans-Jürgen GauglIn diesem anschaulichen, ermutigenden und humorvoll verfassten Werk wird die Beziehung zwischen Schwiegermutter, Kind und Schwiegerkind anschaulich dargestellt und analysiert. Ausgehend von den beobachtbaren Vorkommnissen, die für unbeteiligte Außenstehende skurril bis witzig anmuten, wird aus Sicht des Konfliktmanagements die dahinter wirksame Dynamik aufgezeigt. Ein Blick hinter die Kulissen lässt zunehmendes Verständnis für alle beteiligten Seiten entstehen und die jeweiligen Hintergründe des Handelns erkennen. Der krönende Abschluss liegt dann schließlich in Anregungen zu einer eigenverantwortlichen Verbesserung der Gesamtsituation, bei welcher auch auf die verschiedenen Möglichkeiten der Zur Hilfenahme von Expertinnen und Experten gleichsam einem Coach in ihrer Wirkungsweise eingegangen wird. Zahlreiche Beispiele aus Alltagsschilderungen in anonymisierter Form lockern die manchmal für den Laien doch herausfordernden wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse auf und stellen die Verbindung zu den eigenen Erfahrungen der Leserinnen und Leser her. Stilistisch werden die Leserinnen und Leser mit einem Augenzwinkern abgeholt, hineinbegleitet in die vielerorts selbst gemachten Erfahrungen, eingeladen zur Betrachtung der Szenerie aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln (Kommunikation, Tiefenpsychologie, Systemik, Neurobiologie, Philosophie) und schließlich motiviert, Chancen wahrzunehmen und nicht das eigene Glück dem vermeintlich unkontrolliert hüpfenden Spielball einer Konfliktdynamik zu überlassen.

Sick Enough: A Guide to the Medical Complications of Eating Disorders
by Jennifer L. GaudianiPatients with eating disorders frequently feel that they aren’t "sick enough" to merit treatment, despite medical problems that are both measurable and unmeasurable. They may struggle to accept rest, nutrition, and a team to help them move towards recovery. Sick Enough offers patients, their families, and clinicians a comprehensive, accessible review of the medical issues that arise from eating disorders by bringing relatable case presentations and a scientifically sound, engaging style to the topic. Using metaphor and patient-centered language, Dr. Gaudiani aims to improve medical diagnosis and treatment, motivate recovery, and validate the lived experiences of individuals of all body shapes and sizes, while firmly rejecting dieting culture.
What Is a Criminal?: Answers From Inside the US Justice System
by Katherine S. GaudetBringing together a collection of essays by writers with diverse knowledge of the US criminal justice system, from those with personal experience in prison and on patrol to scholarly researchers, What Is a Criminal? explores the category of "criminal" through the human stories of those who bear and administer that label. This book performs a rare feat in bringing together the perspectives of justice-impacted people, those who work in law enforcement and social services, and scholarly researchers. Each chapter is a compelling narrative sharing the experience and perspective of a unique person with knowledge of the justice system. The first section, "Incarceration, Reentry, and Rebuilding," gives a glimpse into the "black box" of prison, with firsthand accounts of daily life on the inside and the struggle to begin a new life after prison. Section 2, "Journeys in Law Enforcement," presents perspectives from police officers, school resource officers, and corrections officers who are working to better their communities. The third section, "Ripple Effects," addresses some of the broader impacts of the justice system, showing what it is like to be the child of an incarcerated parent, to be profiled, to be an undocumented immigrant, and to make art about the justice system. The final section, "Scholarly Perspectives," is comprised of accessible articles by academics who study law and crime. Each chapter stands alone as an individual story, but taken together they provide a uniquely nuanced view of the US justice system. This book will be of interest to anyone who wants to know more about criminality, the US justice system, and the people involved in it. It is designed for a general audience, with accessible, compelling stories that will appeal to a variety of readers. It is an effective text for college and high school courses about crime and criminality, and provides excellent fodder for discussion in law enforcement and social services training programs or professional development workshops.

Theories Of Memory II
by Susan E. Gathercole Martin A. Conway Cesare CornoldiThis work is a collection of theoretical statements from a broad range of memory researchers. Each chapter was derived from a presentation given at the 2nd International Conference on Memory, held at Abano Termi, Italy, 15th to 19th July 1996. The contributions cover imagery, implicit and explicit memory, encoding and retrieval processes, neuroimaging, age- related changes in memory, development of conceptual knowledge, spatial memory, the ecological approach to memory, processes mediating false memories, and cognitive models of memory.
Working Memory and Language (Essays in Cognitive Psychology)
by Susan E. Gathercole Alan D. BaddeleyThis book evaluates the involvement of working memory in five central aspects of language processing: vocabulary acquisition, speech production, reading development, skilled reading, and comprehension. The authors draw upon experimental, neuropsychological and developmental evidence in a wide-ranging evaluation of the contribution of two components of working memory to each aspect of language. The two components are the phonological loop, which is specialised for the processing and maintenance of verbal material, and the general-purpose processing system of the central executive.A full introduction to the application of the working memory model to normal adults, neuropsychological patients and children is provided in the two opening chapters. Non-experts within this area will find these chapters particularly useful in providing a clear statement of the current theoretical and empirical status of the working memory model. Each of the following chapters examines the involvement of working memory in one specialised aspect of language processing, in each case integrating the available experimental, neuropsychological and developmental evidence. The book will therefore be of direct relevance to researchers interested in both language processing and memory.Working Memory and Language is unique in that it draws together findings from normal adults, brain-damaged patients, and children. For each of these populations, working memory involvement in language processing ranging from the speech production to comprehension are evaluated. Working Memory and Language provides a comprehensive analysis of just what roles working memory does play in the processing of language.
Working Memory and Neurodevelopmental Disorders
by Susan E. Gathercole Tracy Packiam AllowayShort-term or working memory - the capacity to hold and manipulate information mentally over brief periods of time - plays an important role in supporting a wide range of everyday activities, particularly in childhood. Children with weak working memory skills often struggle in key areas of learning and, given its impact on cognitive abilities, the identification of working memory impairments is a priority for those who work with children with learning disabilities. Working Memory and Neurodevelopmental Disorders supports clinical assessment and management of working memory deficits by summarising the current theoretical understanding and methods of assessment of working memory. It outlines the working memory profiles of individuals with a range of neurodevelopmental disorders (including Down's syndrome, Williams syndrome, Specific Language Impairment, and ADHD), and identifies useful means of alleviating the anticipated learning difficulties of children with deficits of working memory. This comprehensive and informative text will appeal to academics and researchers in cognitive psychology, neuropsychology and developmental psychology, and will be useful reading for students in these areas. Educational psychologists will also find this a useful text, as it covers the role of working memory in learning difficulties specific to the classroom.
Models Of Short-Term Memory
by Susan E. GathercoleThis volume offers a collection of theoretical perspectives in the area of short-term memory. It contains overviews of models of short-term memory, with particular emphasis placed on the detailed description of the functioning of the models. The volume represents both computational approaches and theories expressed in more traditional verbal form. Models represented in the volume also cover both developmental and neuropsychological perspectives on short-term memory.; This book should appeal to active researchers in the area of memory, to graduate students, and to academics who wish to update their knowledge of this fast- developing are of research and theory. Final year undergraduates may also find this book of interest.
