Book Description
Polgar gives an insightful and illuminating examination of the human condition, and his prognosis is encouraging. We have the ability to reach out fullest potential despite the systematic obstruction of our parenting, emotional, and moral development. The underlying cause: aberrant behaviors that are a product of dysfunctional families perpetuated inter-generationally and precipitated by adverse, environmental conditions to which children are exposed prenatally and during their most crucial formative years. Polgar's solution is simple. Since the obstruction of our development is environmentally induced, we can achieve optimal development in our parenting abilities, moral reasoning and emotional intelligence by incrementally altering environmental conditions. Such a change must occur at the grass-roots level and culminate in a global coalition of like-minded people. He believes that such changes will take five generations to accomplish.

Freedom: Sally Gets Sober and Starts to Grow Up

Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 199909543X
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
This second book, of four, in a trilogy about substance abuse tells the story, in the voice of addicted addict Sally, of the challenging journey to getting and staying abstinent from all intoxicants. The message is, that the journey is not easy and that there are several land mines along the way. The first purpose of this tale, therefore, is to warn people like Sally, and those who care about them, of the dangers, and then prepare them to manage successfully this difficult, but extremely rewarding process. The second purpose is to convey that the potential with which Sally, indeed each of us, is born, can only be activated when specific environmental conditions are present, including but certainly not limited to, getting, and staying, sober.

BOLD NEW WORLD and THE POTENTIALIST MOVEMENT
Author: Dr. Freeman Rader Ph.D.
Publisher: Dr. Freeman Rader
ISBN:
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 466
Book Description
This very large 465 page book is actually 2 separate but closely related books bound together as one — an inspirational novel and a thought-provoking philosophy book. Together they tell the story of a bold and visionary group of people creating a highly advanced prototype community and way of life based upon applying a philosophy that believes in human potential rather than supernatural forces, helps individuals self-actualize, promotes values and responsibility for SELF, SOCIETY, & ENVIRONMENT; and creates harmonious communities in which human potential flourishes. This results in happy people doing great things and achieving a tremendous sense of enjoyment and accomplishment in the process (something we all seek). As the story unfolds, a bright progressive group of people in Colorado adopt this new philosophy, become part of the Potentialist Movement, and focus on how to fund and develop this highly advanced community. To meet the challenge, the founder (Freeman Valor Smith) convinces the Hollywood producer (Steven Spielman) that the story would make a good film, thus ingeniously getting the producer to make the development of the project possible by funding its construction as part of the cost of production. So the project gets underway. But the powerful editor of the local newspaper (Norman Sully) has a deep grudge against the founder and plans to totally disrupt the group's efforts — so he hires an attractive undercover reporter (Serene St. Haven) to infiltrate the group and dig up as much dirt as possible. But a romance ensues between the reporter and the founder that changes the situation dramatically. So the editor takes drastic measures on his own to sabotage the project. What results is an intricate web of romance, treachery, intrigue, and inspiration. With great courage, this resourceful group of Potentialists overcomes all obstacles and a BOLD NEW WORLD is created which shows what people with the right values in the right environment can accomplish.

Ethical Practice in Social Work
Author: Michael Collingridge
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000256162
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 173
Book Description
This innovative text shows why ethics is so important for social work practice, that it is not simply a way of defining and understanding what is good in practice, but is a means by which social work and other caring professions can actually achieve good practice.' Professor Richard Hugman, University of NSW This book integrates ethical theory and political philosophy into a clear yet challenging framework for ethical action in social work. Firmly grounded in practice examples, it will be of great interest both to students and practitioners in the field.' Professor Sarah Banks, Durham University In an increasingly fragmented and regulated world, the authors of Ethical Practice in Social Work argue that social work has become detached from its ethical roots. Their aim is to reinstate ethics as the driving force of good social work and welfare practice. Ethical Practice in Social Work provides the tools to develop essential ethical decision-making and problem-solving skills. Taking an applied approach with case studies in each chapter, the authors demonstrate how ethical principles can be used to transform practice into an effective, inclusive and empowering process for both professionals and their clients. They discuss the ethical principles social workers have traditionally adhered to, the role of the good social worker' in the contemporary context, professionalism, and the way in which ethics can be used to reconcile the often differing demands of employers, community groups, clients, the profession and their own personal values. Ethical Practice in Social Work is a valuable professional reference and student text.
