orientación que fuera diferente de cualquier elección que hayas tomado en ese momento: heterosexual. Incluso era equivocado imaginar el concepto de ser atraído por una persona del mismo género, y sentías que tenías que guardar esos sentimientos dentro de ti. No había otra manera porque tus padres se alarmarían, tus amigos te evitarían y las instituciones serían muy incómodas contigo por hablar de tu sexualidad. Incluso tenían una política en la que podías ser homosexual, pero ¡pobre de ti si elegías hacerlo público!Practical Handbook of School Psychology

Par Vlad Petre Glăveanu. 2014
This book challenges the standard view that creativity comes only from within an individual by arguing that creativity also exists…
'outside' of the mind or more precisely, that the human mind extends through the means of action into the world. The notion of 'distributed creativity' is not commonly used within the literature and yet it has the potential to revolutionise the way we think about creativity, from how we define and measure it to what we can practically do to foster and develop creativity. Drawing on cultural psychology, ecological psychology and advances in cognitive science, this book offers a basic framework for the study of distributed creativity that considers three main dimensions of creative work: sociality, materiality and temporality. Starting from the premise that creativity is distributed between people, between people and objects and across time, the book reviews theories and empirical examples that help us unpack each of these dimensions and above all, articulate them into a novel and meaningful conception of creativity as a simultaneously psychological and socio-material process. The volume concludes by examining the practical implications in adopting this perspective on creativity.Learning Disability Myth

Partnerships for Mental Health
Par Laura Weiss Roberts, Daryn Reicherter, Steven Adelsheim, Shashank V. Joshi. 2015
This unique title richly tells the stories of partnership and collaboration. The narrative voice of each chapter derives from the…
people who tell their story -- immigrants, survivors of torture, mental health experts, urban people, rural people, teachers, doctors, attorneys, students and international leaders. These authors provide emotionally powerful tales that move, affect and encourage readers. The collection of narratives is inspired by these individuals, who believe that collaboration can bring authentic mutualism, promise-keeping and innovation to address the hardest problems we face as a world community. Partnerships for Mental Health: Narratives of Community and Academic Collaboration is about the stories of innovation and collaboration occurring between community and academic partners who have undertaken among the very hardest of problems - such as the care of veterans with ravaging posttraumatic stress disorder; the care of homeless individuals with HIV, addiction and mental illness; the care of caregivers for Hispanic family members with Alzheimer's disease; the prevention of illness in impoverished vulnerable youth; and the rescue of profoundly mentally ill earthquake survivors. In addition, this title not only also tells the story of identity formation of early-career physicians with a calling to work with distinct populations for whom suffering and stigma are immense, but also the stories of the special bonds that develop and are strengthened between community members and academic colleagues and ultimately, between friends. A truly indispensable contribution to the literature, this captivating and novel title illustrates and inspires collaboration in order to bring about better health outcomes for people affected by mental health issues in communities throughout the world.Poor Eaters: Helping Children Who Refuse To Eat
Par Joel Macht, Edward Goldson, Sharon Felber Taylor. 1990
Happiness in Children
Par Mark D. Holder. 2011
This briefs summarizes the research on positive well-being in children, with a particular focus on their happiness. It starts with…
a discussion of the constructs of positive psychology (i.e., well-being, happiness and life satisfaction), and then outlines the research that shows the importance of studying well-being. Next, it explores how researchers measure happiness and what these measures tell us about whether children are happy and how their happiness differs from adults. Following this, it discusses current positive psychology theories with the aim of suggesting their promise in understanding children's well-being. Next, it examines the importance of individual differences, including culture and temperament. Because studies have only recently identified several of the factors associated with children's happiness, the book ends with a discussion of how we might enhance children's well-being and suggests directions for future research.Shelter from the Storm: Caring for a Child with a Life-Threatening Condition
