Economic Liberalization, Nationalism, And Women's Morality In Sri Lanka, Caitrin Lynch
Economic Liberalization, Nationalism, And Women's Morality In Sri Lanka, Caitrin Lynch
Caitrin Lynch
Economy, Culture, and Civil War in Sri Lanka provides a lucid and up-to-date interpretation of Sri Lankan society and its 20-year civil conflict. An interdisciplinary examination of the relationship between the economy, broadly defined, and the reproduction of violent conflict, this volume argues that the war is grounded not just in the goals and intentions of the opposing sides, but also in the everyday orientations, experiences, and material practices of all Sri Lankan people. The contributors explore changing political and policy contexts; the effect of long-term conflict on employment opportunities and life choices for rural and urban youth; life histories, …
Developmental And Narrative Perspectives On Religious And Spiritual Identity Development For Clinicians, Paul Wink, Jonathan Adler, Michele Dillon
Developmental And Narrative Perspectives On Religious And Spiritual Identity Development For Clinicians, Paul Wink, Jonathan Adler, Michele Dillon
Jonathan M. Adler
Identity gives an individual a sense of sameness and continuity (Erikson, 1968) and provides answers to questions about the nature, purpose, and meaning of life (Kiesling, Sorell, Montgomery, & Colwell, 2006). William James (1910/1968) placed spiritual identity, encompassing intellectual, moral, and emotional development at the center of personality. Given that the search for personal meaning is a vital component of a person's identity, it is not surprising that religion and spirituality play a key role in the identity development of many Americans.
Telling Stories About Therapy: Ego Development, Well-Being, And The Therapeutic Relationship, Jonathan Adler, Dan Mcadams
Telling Stories About Therapy: Ego Development, Well-Being, And The Therapeutic Relationship, Jonathan Adler, Dan Mcadams
Jonathan M. Adler
We need narratives of relationships to understand them precisely because relationships have idiosyncratic meanings in a life. The authors looked at one of the best-researched and documented relationships within psychology--that of the psychotherapy relationship--and investigated the different ways in which this relationship is retrospectively narrated by different groups of people. They discovered that people high in ego development but low in well-being featured the therapeutic relationship prominently in their stories whereas those at high levels of both deemphasized the role of their therapist in their narratives. In this chapter, the authors raise questions about the narrative patterns of relational dynamics …
How Does Personality Develop?, Dan Mcadams, Jonathan Adler
How Does Personality Develop?, Dan Mcadams, Jonathan Adler
Jonathan M. Adler
There are good reasons to be skeptical about any efforts to bring together two fields of inquiry that have historically had little to do with each other - that is, personality psychology and the study of human development. Personality psychologists are by training, and maybe even temperament, suspicious of the idea of development, for to them it means change (i.s. instability, inconsistency), and personality is nothing if it is not at least somewhat enduring. Developmentalists, on the other hand, specialize in a certain kind of change - meaningful and orderly change over time.
Autobiographical Memory And The Construction Of A Narrative Identity: Theory, Research, And Clinical Implications, Dan Mcadams, Jonathan Adler
Autobiographical Memory And The Construction Of A Narrative Identity: Theory, Research, And Clinical Implications, Dan Mcadams, Jonathan Adler
Jonathan M. Adler
Going back to Freud, cliniciants have listened to, tried to understand, and tried to change the stories their patients tell them. Different therapeutic approaches have tended to privilege different kinds of stories to suggest different strategies interpretation and intervention. Classic psychoanalysis, for example, has traditionally sought to unmask the disguised meanings of manifest dream narratives. Carl Rogers taught an emphatic stance toward life narrative: Therapists were to encourage and affirm their clients' autobiographical recollections, holding back critical judgment and expressing the necessary unconditional positive regard through which a client might eventually actualize the good inner self.

Seeking The Spotlight: Wwviews And The Us Media Context, Jen Schneider, Jason Delborne
Jen Schneider
This chapter focuses on the development and implementation of various media plans and strategies for World Wide Views on Global Warming (WWV) in the United States. While we aim to consider the U.S. case within the larger context of global media coverage of WWV, we focus primarily on the U.S. for two reasons: first, our participation in the U.S. WWV team provides rich understanding of efforts to attract U.S. media, and second, the U.S. media landscape and norms create particular challenges of garnering media coverage for an event like WWV that may not translate to other cultural contexts. Further collaborative …

Sitting At The Nexus Of Epistemological Traditions: Narrative Psychological Perspectives On Self-Knowledge, Jonathan Adler
Sitting At The Nexus Of Epistemological Traditions: Narrative Psychological Perspectives On Self-Knowledge, Jonathan Adler
Jonathan M. Adler
To inquire about self knowledge implicitly suggests that there is a self that can be known in a verifiable way. Several psychological disciplines have developed creative and innovative methods for identifying and overcoming barriers to assessing the self in an objective manner. Yet from the perspectives adopted by the growing field of narrative psychology, the very mission of identifying objective self-knowledge is fraught. One of the most exciting elements of the field of narrative psychology is its location at the nexus of two epistemological traditions. On the one hand, narrative psychologists share many of the same concerns with validity, reliability, …
Information Literacy Reality Check, Nancy H. Seamans
Information Literacy Reality Check, Nancy H. Seamans
Nancy Seamans
As the information literacy movement moves into its third decade, it is appropriate to look at the state of information-literacy implementation and how it has been integrated into the lives of our libraries and our colleges and universities. In a library environment of significant change and competing agendas, library administrators must make difficult decisions about how to distribute resources and how to have the most impact on their varied constituent groups. As one of many initiatives that are important in the contemporary academic research library, can information literacy be one that is deemed a success or is there still work …
