Discover your personality type and improve your relationships with this beginner's guide to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. This new edition of this fascinating and revealing book offers a beginner's guide to the 'Myers-Briggs Type Indicator', showing how your personality type and temperament affects all aspects of your life and relationships with others. The M.B.T.I. can help you discover why you think and behave in certain ways, and why other people respond to you as they do. It can help you identify your major strengths - what makes you do some things better than others - and it can help you make more of those aspects of your personality that may be lying dormant and under-developed. The M.B.T.I. can be helpful in improving all kinds of relationships - whether you're at home with your family, at work with your colleagues, or perhaps on a course studying for an exam. It can also be helpful in understanding the life of the Church; why people have different ways of responding to God, both emotionally and intellectually; why some are attracted to a particular kind of church; and why some prefer to pray in one way and not in others. In all these areas of life, the M.B.T.I. has proved itself an invaluable means of achieving a deeper self-understanding. It can also lead to a greater sense of self-worth and a richer and more realistic appreciation of other people. 'A delightful introduction to my mother's work'. Peter Briggs Myers.

Written for all those concerned with providing services for people with dementia and their families, this book explores the idea that communication is not only possible but also vital to the understanding and the development of services. Based on a series of interviews with sufferers and professionals working in the field, on an extensive literature search, and on a consultative document which was sent out to over a thousand people, Hearing the Voice of People with Dementia discusses ten key points:· the possibility of communication;· the disempowering experience of dementia;· the different ways in which people are affected;· the need to respect peoples' sense of sense of time and place;· the importance of knowing a person's `life story';· the effect of environmental and other factors on the process of communication;· the non-verbal ways in which people with dementia communicate;· the means of communicating through `challenging behaviour';· possibilities of group work;· the value or harm of sharing a diagnosis.Practical advice and suggestions based on the research into these key areas are offered to help professionals gain a greater understanding of dementia and develop skills which aid communication.
