A Brief History of Geology

A Brief History of Geology

Kieran D. O'Hara

Cambridge University Press
2018
sidottu
Geology as a science has a fascinating and controversial history. Kieran D. O'Hara's book provides a brief and accessible account of the major events in the history of geology over the last two hundred years, from early theories of Earth structure during the Reformation, through major controversies over the age of the Earth during the Industrial Revolution, to the more recent twentieth-century development of plate tectonic theory, and on to current ideas concerning the Anthropocene. Most chapters include a short 'text box' providing more technical and detailed elaborations on selected topics. The book also includes a history of the geology of the Moon, a topic not normally included in books on the history of geology. The book will appeal to students of Earth science, researchers in geology who wish to learn more about the history of their subject, and general readers interested in the history of science.

Cognitive-Behavioral Management of Tic Disorders

Cognitive-Behavioral Management of Tic Disorders

Kieron O'Connor

John Wiley Sons Inc
2005
nidottu
Tics affect more than 10% of the population, and can be an unpleasant and disruptive problem. They include chronic tic disorder, Tourette?s syndrome and habit disorders such as hair pulling, nail biting and scratching. Treatment is either by medication (without convincing evidence) or psychological means. Before the introduction of habit reversal psychologists had no real alternatives to offer, and even this method lacks evidence for its efficacy and is not widely used. Illustrated throughout with case study examples and containing detailed guidelines for patient and therapist on the use of CBT, this book provides a comprehensive review of what is known about the occurrence and diagnosis of tics. Kieron O'Connor explores the various theories currently available to explain the causes and progression of these disorders, and discusses the assessment and treatment options available. Finally he takes the most widely accepted psychological therapy ? cognitive behaviour therapy - and applies it for the first time to the treatment of tics.

Clinical Phenomenology and Cognitive Psychology

Clinical Phenomenology and Cognitive Psychology

David Fewtrell; Kieron O'Connor

Routledge
2013
sidottu
Cognitive therapies are often biased in their assessment of clinical problems by their emphasis on the role of verbally-mediated thought in shaping our emotions, and in stressing the influence of thought upon feeling. Alternatively, a more phenomenological appraisal of psychological dysfunction suggests that emotion and thinking are complementary processes which influence each other.Cognitive psychology developed out of information-processing models, whereas phenomenological psychology is rooted in a philosophical perspective which avoids the assumptions of positivist methodology. But, despite their different origins, the two disciplines overlap and complement each other. This book, originally published in 1995, illustrates how feeling states are a crucial component of mental health problems and, if adequately differentiated, can result in a greater understanding of mental health.

A Constructionist Clinical Psychology for Cognitive Behaviour Therapy

A Constructionist Clinical Psychology for Cognitive Behaviour Therapy

Kieron P. O'Connor

Routledge
2015
sidottu
Most clinical psychologists and cognitive behaviour therapists adopt a perspective which assumes that a client's distress arises from inaccurate perceptions of the external world and that these perceptions are due to the problematic filtering of information about the external world through internal perceptual biases and schemas. A Constructionist Clinical Psychology for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy provides a timely and innovative critique of the dominant trends in CBT theory and practice. It applies a constructionist framework to treatment and offers a constructionist philosophy and methodology to complement existing clinical approaches in cognitive behaviour therapy.Kieron O'Connor presents a much needed alternative constructionist framework (addressing both individual and social constructionist ideas) which is laid out in a clear fashion for the clinician. He shows how the framework can be integrated into practice and offers an alternative to viewing psychopathology as an isolated problem which focuses on pathology as a response to internal or external events. He reveals how the new constructionist framework can encourage clinicians to look at the client centred context which creates psychopathology and explore areas and experiences not easily accessible to traditional cognitive behaviour approaches, but which are rendered understandable through a constructionist approach to experience.Using extensive case studies, A Constructionist Clinical Psychology for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy provides a constructionist framework approach which complements existing CBT approaches and shines new light on questions as to why some techniques work and others do not. With new tools for case formulation and evaluation, and trainee exercises for beginners, the book will appeal to clinical psychologists, clinical researchers, psychotherapists and other health and mental health professionals.

Managing Tic and Habit Disorders

Managing Tic and Habit Disorders

Kieron P. O'Connor; Marc E. Lavoie; Benjamin Schoendorff

Wiley-Blackwell
2017
sidottu
A pioneering guide for the management of tics and habit disorders Managing Tic and Habit Disorders: A Cognitive Psychophysiological Approach with Acceptance Strategies is a complete client and therapist program for dealing with tics and habit disorders. Groundbreaking and evidence-based, it considers tics and habit disorders as part of the same spectrum and focuses on the personal processes that are activated prior to a tic and habit rather than the tic or habit itself. By drawing on acceptance and mindfulness strategies to achieve mental and physical flexibility in preparing action, individuals can release unnecessary tension, expend less effort and ultimately establish control over their tic or habit. The authors explain how to identify the contexts of thoughts, feelings and activities that precede tic or habit onset, understand how self-talk and language can trigger tic onset, and move beyond unhelpful ways of dealing with emotions - particularly in taking thoughts about emotions literally. They also explore how individuals can plan action more smoothly by drawing on existing skills and strengths, and overcome shame by becoming less self-critical and more self-compassionate. They conclude with material on maintaining gains, developing new goals, and creating a more confident and controlled lifestyle. Managing Tic and Habit Disorders is a thoughtful and timely guide for those suffering from this sometimes all-consuming disorder, and the professionals who set out to help them.

Critical Discourse Analysis and Language Cognition

Critical Discourse Analysis and Language Cognition

Kieran O'Halloran

Edinburgh University Press
2003
nidottu
An interdisciplinary study of issues of language manipulation, this book explores the interpretation stage of critical discourse analysis (CDA) for students in areas such as English language, media studies and applied linguistics, as well as practitioners in the field. It also offers a new way forward for highlighting manipulative language, accomplishing this through the innovation of a model of reading for gist. The model is an original synthesis of elements from four contemporary cognitive frameworks: connectionism, cognitive linguistics, psycholinguistic evidence on inference generation, and relevance theory. Significantly, Kieran O'Halloran also shows how each of these frameworks challenges current notions of cognition in CDA and he carefully works through the implications of this for how CDA highlights manipulative language. Features: *Shows clearly how more systematic and reliable prediction can be made as to whether a news text is likely to manipulate someone reading for gist *Provides accessible outlines of connectionism, cognitive linguistics, psycholinguistic research on inference generation, relevance theory, which assume no previous knowledge *Brings together contemporary linguistic and cognitive approaches which usually do not communicate *Provides a useful overview of how language cognition is understood in CDA, revealing tensions in this understanding. In offering novel criticism of some key aspects of CDA and in suggesting ways in which critical analyses of news texts can be improved, this book is likely to be both topical and controversial.

The Brain-Based Classroom Practical Guide

The Brain-Based Classroom Practical Guide

Kieran O'Mahony

Educare Press
2023
nidottu
Welcome to your cognitive revolution. I am so glad that you found your way to this Guide. Parents and educators have been laboring in a cognitive world for a long time with tools that were designed for a behaviorist world. The Brain-Based Classroom Practical Guide works in the classroom as well as in the home. With this easy-to-use guide colorful layout, your children will experience positive leaps in autonomy, mastery, and purpose. The two-page-spread is simple and effective. A behavioral issue is discussed on the left page - the solution to support the child as they navigate away from that behavior is described on the right page. When we align information about the human brain with a teaching and learning model that is brain-aligned, learning spaces ignite. The insights that are in this guide are not invented out of thin air. Nor are they solely theoretical. All strategies, hints, and suggestions come from hands-on trial-and-error experiences from parents and teachers who have already walked this journey. They attended in-person, face-to-face institute coursework with hundreds of other educators. Together, in an immersive learning space, they figured out how to implement a cognitive teaching and learning model, and can deliver powerful strategies even in deeply entrenched behaviorist school systems.Results are always significant, and often breathtaking. The goal is twofold: (i) eliminate labeling and stratification in classrooms, and (ii) increase teacher capacity in a new educational field where neuroscience informs classroom practice and processes.The Practical Guide theme focuses on changing environments, rather than changing the child. We promote appetite over aptitude, and affect over effect. That might sound strange but all parents find that it works; all teachers realize that it was the missing link in classroom management. Appetite refers to what turns the child on. It could be fun things like science or simply being outdoors with puppy. Aptitude follows on from this appetite. Affect is psychology for emotion; effect is usually the grade. Put emotional connection first and the grade will follow.
