The thirty-six chapters provide a combination of psychometric theory and practical assessment applications in order to combine the currently disparate research that has been conducted locally in this field. Existing South African texts on psychological assessment are predominantly academic textbooks that explain psychometric theory and provide brief descriptions of a few testing instruments. Psychological Assessment in South Africa provides in-depth coverage of a range of areas within the broad field of psychological assessment, including research conducted with various psychological instruments. The chapters critically interrogate the current Eurocentric and Western cultural hegemonic practices that dominate the field of psychological assessment. The book therefore has the potential to function both as an academic text for graduate students, as well as a specialist resource for professionals, including psychologists, psychometrists, remedial teachers and human resource practitioners. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wits University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33625994363012,"sku":"","price":400.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/products\/preview.kmrd-2296-g930.1.front.1868145786.jpg?v=1588231840"},{"product_id":"psychodynamic-psychotherapy-in-south-africa-contexts-theories-applications-by-smith-c-et-al","title":"Psychodynamic Psychotherapy in South Africa: Contexts, Theories \u0026 Applications by Smith, C et al","description":"\u003cp\u003eISBN 9781868146031\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublisher: Wits University Press 2013\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e292 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoft cover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: #ffffff; color: #444444; font-family: verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;\"\u003eOffering a fresh and innovative perspective on psychodynamic psychotherapy, this book captures the possibilities of using psychodynamic theory in service of progressive and socially relevant application. It takes the reader on a journey through the sensitive and often painful realities of contemporary South African life. Psychoanalysis as a long-term modality is inaccessible to the average South African, and in this book the authors describe how psychoanalytically orientated or psychodynamic psychotherapy can be practiced as a short-term endeavor and applied to contemporary issues facing the country. Psychodynamic work is currently undertaken by clinical psychologists, therapists, clinicians, trainers, teachers, clinical supervisors, consultants, and researchers working in university settings, state hospitals, community projects, private practice, and research. The debates, clinical issues, therapeutic practice, and nature of research covered in the book are widely representative of the work being done in the country. The need for shorter term therapy models and evidence-based interventions is as acute in global practice as it is locally. The lessons learned in South Africa have broader implications for international practitioners, and the authors stress the potential inherent in psychoanalytic theory and technique to tackle the complex problems faced in all places and settings characterized by increasing globalization and dislocation. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wits University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33626288685188,"sku":"","price":385.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/products\/preview.pwbw-2550-g400.1.front.1868146030.jpg?v=1588233202"},{"product_id":"organizational-behaviour-by-robbins-s-p-judge-t-a","title":"Organizational Behaviour by Robbins, S P \u0026 Judge, T A","description":"\u003cp\u003eISBN 9781292259239\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e18th edition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublisher: Pearson 2019\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e770 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoft cover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans','Helvetica','Verdana',sans-serif; font-size: 1.6rem; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.625; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;\"\u003eThe world’s most successful \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: \u0026amp;quot; open sans\u0026amp;quot;,\u0026amp;quot;helvetica\u0026amp;quot;,\u0026amp;quot;verdana\u0026amp;quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 600; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;\"\u003e\u003ci style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003eOrganizational Behavior\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans','Helvetica','Verdana',sans-serif; font-size: 1.6rem; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.625; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;\"\u003e textbook provides the research you want, in the language your students understand.

In this view, non-Western and folk medical systems are regarded as systems of 'belief' and subtly discounted. This is an impoverished perspective for understanding illness and healing across cultures, one that neglects many facets of Western medical practice and obscures its kinship with healing in other traditions. Drawing on his research in several American and Middle Eastern medical settings, in this 1993 book Professor Good develops a critical, anthropological account of medical knowledge and practice. He shows how physicians and healers enter and inhabit distinctive worlds of meaning and experience.

Given the complexity of the human mind and its manifestation in behavioral flexibility, process-based computational models may be necessary to explicate and elucidate the intricate details of the mind. The key to understanding cognitive processes is often in fine details.

Ultimately, what is significant for attaining membership within any culture is gradually being able to display an orientation towards both domains - doing and feeling, or social-action and affect.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"I H Pentz Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40775387840674,"sku":"","price":1300.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/products\/379639066641179215_2.jpg?v=1630503085"},{"product_id":"9780199642410","title":"Epistemic Dimensions of Personhood by Evnine, Simon J.","description":"\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780199642410\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOxford University Press | 17 December 2011\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperback | 188 pages \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimon Evnine examines various epistemic aspects of what it is to be a person. Persons are defined as finite beings that have beliefs, including second-order beliefs about their own and others' beliefs, and engage in agency, including the making of long-term plans. It is argued that for any being meeting these conditions, a number of epistemic consequences obtain. First, all such beings must have certain logical concepts and be able to use them in certain ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecondly, there are at least two principles governing belief that it is rational for persons to satisfy and are such that nothing can be a person at all unless it satisfies them to a large extent. These principles are that one believe the conjunction of one's beliefs and that one treat one's future beliefs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eas, by and large, better than one's current beliefs. Thirdly, persons both occupy epistemic points of view on the world and show up within those views. This makes it impossible for them to be completely objective about their own beliefs. Ideals of rationality that require such objectivity, while not necessarily wrong, are intrinsically problematic for persons. This 'aspectual dualism' is characteristic of treatments of persons in the Kantian tradition. In sum, these epistemic consequences\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003esupport a traditional view of the nature of persons, one in opposition to much recent theorizing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IH PENTZ BOOKSELLERS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40782891417762,"sku":"","price":490.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/products\/9780199642410.jpg?v=1630566488"},{"product_id":"personnel-psychology-an-applied-perspective-by-m-coetzee-edited-by-d-schreuder","title":"Personnel psychology : An applied perspective by  M.

This accessible and informative text explains how industrial-organizational psychologists help organizations hire the best people by designing tests and interviews that uncover the skills and abilities of applicants, make work better by removing or reducing safety issues and sources of stress so that personnel are motivated and able to perform to their abilities, and work with managers and leaders to be more effective at leading others. This book also describes how industrial-organizational psychologists work with organizations to embrace diversity in the workforce and celebrate the strengths that employees from many backgrounds bring to organizations. In addition, this text includes how psychologists help organizations to design the physical work environment to best suit employees, while other psychologists help organizations to market their products and services to consumers. This text covers both the essential and traditional industrial-organizational psychology topic areas such as job analysis, employee selection, and work motivation as well as topic areas that are important in workplaces today such as stress and well-being, human factors, and preparing for jobs of the future. The chapter on consumer psychology remains unique to this textbook. This new edition includes coverage of employable skills desired by hiring managers and executives; the ways the highly publicized replicability crisis has affected the science and practice of I-O psychology; online and mobile employment testing; diversity and inclusion throughout the workplace, including microaggressions; preparing people and organizations for jobs of the future; incivility and harassment at work, including abusive supervision; safety climate and employee health; and advertising on social media and video games. Including many illustrative examples of industrial-organizational psychology in real-world workplaces, the 11th Edition is thoroughly updated to include the latest theory, research, and practice on each key topic. Each chapter features defined key terms, a chapter outline, a chapter summary, review questions, annotated additional reading, and engaging Newsbreak sections.

This book takes a critical stance towards the received view of social phobia as a disease of sorts, characterized by abnormal anxiety and caused by an inner mental or physical defective mechanism. Ariel Stravynski adopts an alternative approach to social phobia - as a purposeful interpersonal pattern protective against public humiliation or private rebuff. In this conception, fearfulness is the emotional facet of the socially phobic interpersonal pattern, rather than its driving force. This theoretical framework emphasizing dynamic transactions is articulated in terms of an anthropological psychology and Stravynski argues that social phobia can only be formulated and understood in interpersonal terms.

Culture and context are central to the understanding of how play is valued, expressed and used as a pedagogical approach in early childhood education across the international community.

Olson argues that to understand the cognitive implications of literacy, it is necessary to see reading and writing as providing access to and consciousness of aspects of language, such as phonemes, words and sentences, that are implicit and unconscious in speech. Reading and writing create a system of metarepresentational concepts that bring those features of language into consciousness as a subject of discourse. This consciousness of language is essential not only to acquiring literacy but also to the formation of systematic thought and rationality. The Mind on Paper is a compelling exploration of what literacy does for our speech and hence for our thought, and will be of interest to readers in developmental psychology, cognitive science, linguistics, and education.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEditorial Reviews\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReview\u003cbr\u003e \"This is a highly original and compelling treatment of the effects of literacy on human consciousness, written by the world's leading expert on the cognitive consequences of literacy.
