Seeking to restore a holistic approach to the study of the person, Professor Cochran explores and refines an innovative method of analysis based on the use of dramaturgical concepts. The author's approach reflects a dissatisfaction, shared by many in the field of personology, with the fragmented view of the person that typically emerges from quantitative, statistically based studies. His own method offers alternative ways of conducting research based upon two units. The first is story, a completed action or drama with a beginning, middle, and end. The other is position, a way of being or an emotional or existential condition. Showing these to be natural units of human experience, the author demonstrates, through a series of illustrative investigations, how they may be applied to research. Among the topics covered are the life plot, or the means by which a person comes into being, the meaning of significant action, how actions in a person's life form a theme with variations over time, and the integration of character and story. The author also discusses different life themes and their significance, and he tests the validity of dramatic principles as means of reality construction.

For decades, scholars and professionals have been attracted to theories offering a deeper view of career, but have been frustrated by difficulties in translating theories of meaning making, development, and identity into viable practice. At the same time, there has been growing disenchantment with impersonal techniques of matching an individualÆs traits with skills required for a specific vocation. While personality traits and talents may help to predict a predisposition to a career type, this method of analysis neglects the influences of human purpose, passion, and life history. In Career Counseling, author Larry Cochran fills the void by introducing the theory of narrative construction, a method of counseling that injects personal identity into career development in a practical way. Cochran demonstrates how literary models and constructivist methods can be used in career development to provide the essential subjective dimension that has been lacking in practical counseling. In addition, he provides the innovative materials that are necessary for making this process both efficient and effective. Contributing a unique and important perspective and approach to career counseling, this volume will be widely used by scholars and professionals in the fields of career counseling, clinical/counseling psychology, social psychology, and management.

This book is meant to help those who really want to live this life in Christ. We cannot do this life alone, but there are so many choices that are not helpful to living a proper life in Christ. Let me walk with you as you walk with me. The seven C's presented in this book are helpful in linking you to that goal of glorifying God and enjoying Him forever.

This book is not an attempt to tell anyone what to study, but simply to point out the importance of studying if we are to show ourselves willing and able to carry out the mission of preaching the gospel.

The ability of the Christian to live this life is very dependent upon what they understand to be reading and learning from the bible. In the original book "Love, An Essential Journey, An Essential Proof," I tried to point out that love is a requirement for the Christian. In this book I tie that reality to the very first Sermon that Jesus Christ preached. He went on later in his ministry to explicitly say that love fulfills the law.
