Drawing on psychological, sociolinguistic, and discourse theories, this book shows how students use writing not only as a vehicle for participating in the academic world but also as a means of fashioning their own private and public identities. It presents case studies of four students during their years at a large, public university. The case studies are based on extensive interviews with each student, analyses of their writing for composition and other courses, classroom observations, and interviews with their teachers. It provides insight into the ways that students' academic and personal uses of writing inflect each other, as well as ways that, in responding to students writing, teachers can help as well as hinder these interrelated developmental processes. Chapters in the book are: (1) Shaping the Study; (2) Claiming the Essay for Himself: Nam; (3) Composing a Self He Can Live With: Lawrence/Steven; (4) Understanding Personal/Academic Connections: Rachel; (5) "A Bilingual and Social Struggle": Francois; and (6) Persons in Process and Possibilities for Teaching. Appendixes contain interviewing descriptions and other details of the study, and syllabi of basic and college writing courses, 1989-90. (Contains 97 references.) (RS).

HMP Grendon hosts the UK's only prison-based therapeutic community, inhabited by around 200 residents, almost all convicted of crimes against the person, and about half of whom have killed. This is an inside account of the work, and the theory behind the work, carried out at a prison which not only exemplifies the best in prison philosophy, but also a pioneering approach to the treatment of psychopaths. Previously the Director of Therapies at Grendon, Mark Morris provides a unique insight into the work of this experimental prison regime. He tracks its history from the 1950s, and describes how its approaches have evolved over the decades. He explores Grendon's status as a provider of a psychological therapy, and positions its treatment process as a therapeutic community, explaining why this approach is so appropriate and effective for helping prisoners with personality disorders, and how the prison environment can help in the rehabilitation of offenders.

Have you ever felt like you were from the wrong side of the spiritual tracks? You see people on Sundays, heading to church, impeccably dressed and coiffed. Their lives seem perfect. These people seem so different from you. Perhaps you think that you aren't good enough for God. Your life's road has been paved with all kinds of potholes, and you've wrecked the car a number of times. Christianity seems like a country club and you aren't a member. You know that there is a God, somewhere. You observe the world around you and know that it can't all be explained by random biological processes. But the religious structure created by modern day Christianity has impeded your search. Christians explain all of it with Christianspeak, the strange terminology that only Christians can understand. The Reasonable Person- Due Process of Law, Logic and Faith was written for people who have that spiritual itch—the feeling deep in your hearts that there must be something more. The author, Steven Sedberry, examines the claims of Christianity using many of the same analytical tools used in law practice. In The Reasonable Person, he demystifies Christian jargon, and provides a step-by-step guide to the logic behind and practice of Christian faith. The good news is that you are good enough for God. This book will help you to understand why.

This unique and important book breaks new ground in the theory and practice of person-centred psychotherapy by focusing on the issue of process. Process belongs to both client and counsellor. Worsley conceptualises process in relation to the core principles of the person-centred approach but also to the humanistic and phenomenological roots of person-centred therapy. Combining academic rigour with the wisdom of an experienced clinical practitioner, he opens up a more inclusive and integrative way of being with clients that nonetheless chimes with classical person-centred principles. The book features: - Activities and vivid case studies to illustrate and expand on the theoretical points being developed, allowing the reader to see easily how these might apply to practice. - Engagement with theoretical approaches such as transactional analysis and Gestalt, as well as discussion of philosophy, spirituality and psychopathology. - New discussion of the processes involved in mental illness, drawing on the work of Prouty and Warner to understand the client's world of experiencing. - New material on the plural self and configurations of the self.
