The Tao of Anxiety: Bridging Eastern and Western Thought provides readers a clear and deeper understanding of how philosophical schools of thought guide anxiety management techniques in clinical and everyday life situations. Drawing on his vast experiences as a counseling professor and mental health professional, author David Bright helps readers understand how anxiety manifests in each of us and how the combination of both eastern and western philosophies with modern management techniques can result in greater personal insight, self-awareness, and emotional management. While many books speak to the use of eastern philosophical principles as they apply to mental health, few speak directly to the connection between existential philosophy, Buddhism, and modern mental health practices. By focusing on these commonalities, the book seeks to illuminate the common elements of these approaches for any individual seeking greater reflection and anxiety-management. The book features excerpts from the Tao Te Ching and quotes from existential philosophers in addition to summaries of modern therapeutic approaches created by major historical figures in psychotherapy. Simple examples and metaphors combined with cases inspired by real-world clinical work with clients facing a myriad of complex anxiety issues bring the material to life. The Tao of Anxiety is a brief, accessible, and conversational guide for clinicians-in-training, as well as any individual seeking to better understand and manage anxiety.

How do you uncomplicate the subject of program evaluation for students without being too simplistic? David Royse focuses on what readers really need to understand in order to apply useful program evaluation techniques in their practice serving individual clients, couples, and families. Drawing on decades of teaching this subject, he skillfully takes an incremental approach to teaching so that students aren't overwhelmed by information that they won't necessarily use in professional settings. He develops readers' interest in each new chapter's topic by incorporating real-life scenarios, excerpts from articles on program evaluation, and his own personal experiences in assessing and evaluating programs.Each chapter contains suggestions for additional reading and examples from current literature. These interesting-to-read segments not only show students that program evaluators and practitioners actually use these techniques, but they also gently expand readers' knowledge of the field. Helpful features such as review questions and skill assessments are found at the end of each chapter. This text is also unique in the amount of coverage it provides on cultural sensitivity-ways of understanding the concept and assessing its presence (or absence) among employees in agencies.Highly accessible and practical in its approach, this book is designed for undergraduates or graduate students in social work, counseling, and health-related programs and available for adoption in-classroom, online, or hybrid courses.

The first edition of this textbook presented students with a variety of humanities-based readings in an effort to provide them with a culturally responsive approach to analyzing legal cases. The second edition of A Socio-Legal Approach to Constitutional Law: Cases and Controversies builds upon the previous edition and provides students with a clearer thematic approach and an even deeper commitment to culturally responsive analysis. Unit I presents constitutional law as a way of framing historical social change. The dual nature of constitutionalism is examined through competing conceptions of sovereignty. Unit II digs deeper into how the social production of difference is resisted by those experiencing injustice. In Unit III, readers are provided with the opportunity to apply the newly learned socio-legal framework to cases organized by theme, including racial injustice, gender and reproductive rights, privacy interests, political action committees and corporate influence, immigration and education rights, and climate change policy. The final unit returns to the framing of the constitution as a contradictory document that both reflects and produces social inequality. Developed to help students examine the most pressing civic challenges and controversies of today, A Socio-Legal Approach to Constitutional Law is ideal for courses in constitutional law, civic engagement, law and society, governmental institutions, and democratic theory.

The Why and How in Education: Honoring Our Past and Imagining Our Future is designed to help pre-service and current educators learn about and reflect upon the field of education, their passion and purpose for teaching, education in light of modern-day challenges, and the ever-evolving roles of teachers in society. The book is organized into four sections with each representing a key idea. In Idea I, chapters examine the history of education, the teacher's critical role in the development of society, the evolution of the world and its effect on approaches to education, and the idea of teacher as challenge seeker and resolution finder. Idea II helps readers determine their purpose for teaching and recognize their unique contribution to the educational system and teaching profession. Idea III discusses the governance, structure, finances, and the law in relation to schools. Its chapters explore the nuances behind the determination of school curriculum and how educators can confront the escalating challenges of our times. The final idea introduces the teacher as entrepreneur, underscoring how schools and teachers have become the great fixers of society and how educators can leverage an entrepreneurial spirit to effectively guide their students toward success. Throughout the text, journal prompts, links to enlightening videos via QR codes, pause and reflect boxes, and end-of-chapter activities and applications deepen and support the overall reading and learning experience.
