"There is without doubt a great need for a practical and theoretical framework through which supervisors, primarily, but also supervisees can negotiate the relationship of supervision." "This invaluable resource book gives a brief overview of the history of supervision and its importance in initial and ongoing counselling training - reviewing both the British and US literature - and brings together contemporary themes and debates within supervision." "The author presents his own linear model of supervision, connecting goals, functions and tasks, and presents and analyses the seven tasks of supervision. A model for the management of the supervisory process is then discussed, outlining a five-stage chronology of the steps through which a supervisory relationship travels. Importantly, the organizational dimension of supervision is studied in detail and a number of supervisory formats (individual, peer, group and team) are evaluated." "The concluding chapter on ethics is an attempt to offer a model of ethical decision-making applicable to both counselling and supervision. It reviews in some detail the various responsibilities of supervisors. An appendix includes the revised Code of Ethics and Practice for Supervisors from BAC."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Little Reef and Other Stories announces the arrival of an original voice in literature. From Key West to Maine, Michael Carroll’s debut collection of stories depicts the lives of characters who are no longer provincial but are not yet cosmopolitan. These women and their gay male friends are “B-listers” of a new, ironic, media-soaked culture. They live in a rich but increasingly divided America, a weirdly paradoxical country increasingly accepting of gay marriage but still marked by prejudice, religious strictures, and swaths of poverty and hopelessness. Carroll shows us people stunned by the shock of the now, who have forgotten their pasts and can’t envision a future.

"When we think of work, we often think of drudgery, frustration, and stress. For too many of us, work is the last place in our lives we expect to experience satisfaction, fulfillment, or spiritual growth. In this unique book, Michael Carroll--a meditation teacher, executive coach, and corporate director--shares Buddhist wisdom on how to transform the common hassles and anxieties of the workplace into valuable opportunities for heightened wisdom and enhanced effectiveness. Carroll shows us how life on the job--no matter what kind of work we do--can become one of the most engaging and fulfilling areas of our lives. At its heart, Awake at Work offers thirty-five principles that we can use throughout our day to revitalize our work as well as our understanding of ourselves and others. Carroll invites readers to contemplate these slogans and to use them on-the-spot, in the midst of work''s chaos, to develop clarity, wisdom, and inspiration. Along the way, Carroll presents a variety of techniques and insights to help us acknowledge work, with all its complications, as "a valuable invitation to fully live our lives." In an engaging, accessible, and often humorous style, Awake at Work offers readers a path to rediscovering our natural sense of intelligence, confidence, and delight on the job"--Publisher description.

La mécanique quantique est un champ encore imparfaitement compris de la physique théorique. Surprenante, déconcertante, contre-intuitive, voire impossible pour certains, elle offre toutefois la meilleure explication à ce jour de la nature profonde de l''univers. C''est à la découverte du caractère singulièrement quantique de notre monde ainsi qu''à la rencontre des plus grands esprits qui ont oeuvré à sa formalisation que Sean Carroll nous invite. Salué comme une "oeuvre magistrale" par la critique et le monde scientifique, "La face cachée de l''univers" déboulonne les mythes qui ont desservi la discipline, ressuscite la théorie et l''interprétation des mondes multiples de Hugh Everett et, ce faisant, expose une nouvelle voie réconciliant mécanique quantique et théorie de la relativité d''Enstein, lesquelles s''opposent depuis près d''un siècle.
