ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hollis, Joseph W. / Dodson, Thomas A. / Hollis Joseph, W., PUBLISHER: Taylor & Francis Group, Now in its tenth edition, this classic reference contains vital information in three major areas: Detailed information on each of more than 500 graduate level departments with more than counselor preparation programs; Statistical treatment with interpretations of composite national research on the six largest types of entry level (master's and sixth year) and four doctoral level counseling programs; trends based on comparison of data with longitudinal data collected periodically since . New in this tenth edition is a chapter on 'The Road to Professionalism" which emphasizes the individual's need to gain strong backgrounds for certification and other programs. As in previous editions, all master's and doctoral level counselor and/or therapist preparation programs in the U.S. are listed, including community, marriage/family, mental health, pastoral, gerontological, rehabilitation, school, career, and student affairs counseling. Also noted are programs accredited by the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, American Association of Pastoral Counselors, Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs, and Council on Rehabilitation Education - plus it identifies the location of Chi Sigma Iota (Counseling Society International) chapters.In addition to listing faculty by name, degree, title, and time devoted to each program, the text gives detailed information for each separate program: degree offered; accreditation held (if any); departmental addresses and telephone numbers; admission and graduation requirements; number of students admitted and graduating yearly; experiential clock hours; placement of graduates; and the uniqueness within the program. Courses to be added or dropped by counseling departments are listed, as are other anticipated changes within departments. Using a statistical treatment of the aforementioned data, the book also interprets the status and probable trends of preparation programs within each counseling specialty. Also considered are current emphases in the counseling field, and in what ways these are being reflected within counselor education settings.

In "Seeking Peace," Mary Pipher tells her own remarkable story, and in the process reveals truths about our search for happiness and love. While her story is unique, athe basic map and milestones of my story are universal, a she writes. aWe strive to make sense of our selves and our environments.a In "Seeking Peace," Pipher reflects on her life in a way that allows readers to reimagine theirs.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Tucker, Lisa, PUBLISHER: Atria Books, Kyra and David have been married for almost a decade and consider themselves happy - their home is comfortable, their jobs are stable, and their five year-old son, Michael, is simply perfect. Yet for reasons they've never fully shared with each other, the Winters have always been afraid that something will happen to the life they've created, and more importantly, to their little boy. David is a historian - he knows the past is inescapable, and yet he has spent fifteen years trying to escape the tragedy that ended his first marriage; trying to convince himself that if only he works hard enough, his new family will be safe. Kyra writes questions for a math textbook company; she loves puzzles and worships logic, yet she lives in fear of karma punishing her for the way she betrayed her sister, Amy, in college. After all, Amy was more than a sister - she was Kyra's only real family since their mother abandoned them as young children - and their estrangement weighs heavily on her conscience. So when Michael mysteriously disappears from his backyard one ordinary summer day, Kyra and David feel like the mistakes of their past have finally caught up to them. Each is convinced they know who has their son, but to find him, the Winters must embark upon an odyssey through time and memory. Their journey will involve David's mother, Sandra, who offers both her son and her daughter-in-law a path to understanding, and David's ex-wife Courtney, who lives just across town but in a universe away, where she struggles with the demons that caused her to lose everything she loved that fateful night fifteen years ago. It's only when a mysterious stranger enters their lives that they will discover it's not too late to become the kind of family they've always wanted to be--if only they can find a way to forgive themselves, and believe in the gift of a second chance. Lisa Tucker's most optimistic work since "Once Upon a Day, The Winters in Bloom "is a wise, life-affirming tale that is both poignant and surprisingly funny. Though the fast-paced, captivating story will keep readers turning pages, the novel's true power lies in its profound engagement with what it means to be alive: the mistakes we make, the price we pay, the fragility of human happiness but also the stubborn strength of the human heart.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hams, Brad, PUBLISHER: McGraw-Hill, It's an insidious disease that is crippling companies, destroying our economy, and crushing potential. It's infecting the very roots of business performance, and it's spreading fast. It isn't the recession, market volatility, scandal, or greed. "It's entitlement. And it may be killing your business." In myriad ways, entitlement has been cultivated for decades. As a result, too many employees today believe that they are entitled to a paycheck simply because they show up. Brad Hams has proven that we are not doomed to a path of entitlement and dependence. After more than 15 years working with hundreds of companies, he knows that the vast majority of employees addicted to entitlement actually want to engage, want to contribute, and feel much better about themselves when they are in an environment that requires them to do so. Now, with "Ownership Thinking," Hams shares his strategy that will increase your company's productivity, employee retention, and profitability: The Right Education: Teach employees the fundamentals of business and finance, how their company makes money, and how they add--or take away--value.The Right Measures: Identify the organization's Key Performance Indicators and teach employees to forecast results in an environment of high visibility and accountability. The Right Incentives: Create incentive plans that are self-funding and clearly align employees' behavior to the organization's business and financial objectives. Your employees will learn to think and act like owners and will become active participants in the financial performance of the business. They will gain the self-esteem that is only possible through achievement and will reap rewards that are in alignment with the success of their organization. Meanwhile, you will enjoy your role more, sleep better at night, and leave a legacy that is far more inspiring and significant than you dreamed possible. Praise for "Ownership Thinking" "You would have to read a dozen other books to even come close to Ownership Thinking--a systematic and practical process for getting your employees to give that extra effort and brain power we know they possess." --Verne Harnish, CEO, Gazelles; author, "Mastering the Rockefeller Habits" "Brad Hams tells it like it truly is: transparency creates trust; trust creates engagement; engagement creates a healthy enterprise. This thoughtful and practical book shows you how to achieve all of these things and more." --Chip Conley, founder and executive chair, Joie de Vivre; author, "Peak" "Comprehensive and marvelously clear, "Ownership Thinking"'s techniques for creating change are focused, direct, and motivating. This is a wise book, unusually useful, and I recommend it most highly." --Judith M. Bardwick, Ph.D., author, "Danger in the Comfort Zone" and "The Psychological Recession" "Brad Hams is one of the most

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Levin, Henry M., PUBLISHER: Sage Publications (CA), Published in cooperation with the Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory "Cost-Effectiveness will occupy a unique and important niche in the literature on normative economic analysis.... What Henry M. Levin does far better than other economic observer is to address the practical considerations in implementing cost analyses, with attention to the particular challenges of educational program evaluation. The educational evaluator with interest in costs will prize this book." --Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis "A very useful text for educational administrators as well as administrators in other public sectors. It would make an excellent textbook for students enrolled in educational or public administration courses. The concise text and numerous examples make the primer an interesting and useful guide and a valuable addition to the library of all those in public administration." --Resources in Review "Well organized, examining cost-effectiveness, cost-benefit, cost-utility, and cost-feasibility studies. It also highlights the benefits and pitfalls of these tools for decision making. The examples and applications used throughout the book are directed at educators but can be readily generalized to other professions and services... It is an excellent start... for the uninitiated who is interested in making or influencing decisions when dividing our society's resources." --American Journal of Occupational Therapy "A clear and concise guide to understanding-and using-cost- effectiveness techniques, this primer will be an essential resource for policymakers, evaluators, social researchers and students." --Institute for Research on Educational Finance and Governance "Twoattractive features of this book are the extensive use of examples to illustrate the concept and methodology of cost-effectiveness analysis and the excercises presented at the end of each chapter.... A very worthwhile publication for policymakers, administrators, and the beginning program evaluators." --Economics of Education Review "Henry M. Levin's Cost-Effectiveness seeks to help evaluators and administrators to understand the concepts, uses, and applications of cost-effectiveness, and also to provide a basic course of study for those who will then move on to higher levels. And, by and large, it succeeds.... Appendixes offer feedback on exercises and a very useful annotated bibliography. There is a brief list of references and a commendably full index.... A competent and useful text." --Evaluation in Higher Education In the midst of budget slashing and diminishing resources, the need for efficient public policies has never been greater. Henry M. Levin introduces the concepts, uses, and applications of cost analysis-demonstrating step-by-step methods of resolving evaluation and decision-making dilemmas through four key approaches: cost-effectiveness, cost-benefit, cost-utility, and cost-feasibility.
