The Age of Agility
The Age of Agility: Building Learning Agile Leaders and Organizations focuses on learning agility, one of the most important trends in the business world during the past decade. Surveys have found that learning agility is the most frequently used criterion to measure leadership potential. Yet despite this popularity there is a need to more systematically examine the construct. This volume brings together more than 50 authors with backgrounds in both academic research and talent management practice to address crucial questions such as: What specifically is learning agility? How many facets or dimensions does it have? How do we measure it? And how can it be developed in leaders and organizations?

Talent Assessment
"Technology-enhanced assessments for selection and development have flourished over the past several decades. Sophisticated assessment programs that weren't possible even a few years ago can now be assembled and launched on a global scale to measure almost any attribute in any language with greater realism, efficiency, and precision than ever before. Large-scale assessment applications have emerged where candidates are recruited online, automatically screened, assessed and prioritized, and presented with online interview questions based on the results of their assessments - all without any human contact. Many organizations have enthusiastically embraced these developments due to the obvious practical benefits and immediate payoff associated with increased efficiency and reduced costs to move candidates from recruitment through to selection"--
Systems of Psychotherapy
"The field of psychotherapy has been fragmented and staggered by over-choice. We have witnessed the hyperinflation of brand-name therapies. In 1959, Harper identified 36 distinct systems of psychotherapy; by 1976, Parloff discovered more than 130 therapies in the therapeutic marketplace or, perhaps more appropriately, the "jungle place." Recent estimates put the number at over 500 and growing (Pearsall, 2011)"--

Banning Transgender Conversion Practices
Survivors of conversion practices – interventions meant to stop gender transition – have likened these to torture. In the last decade, bans on these deeply unethical and harmful processes have proliferated, and governments across the world are considering following suit. Banning Transgender Conversion Practices considers pivotal questions for anyone studying or working to prevent these harmful interventions. What is the scope of the bans? How do they differ across jurisdictions? What are the advantages and disadvantages of legislative approaches to regulating trans conversion therapy? How can we improve these prohibitions? Florence Ashley answers these questions and demonstrates the need for affirmative health care cultures and detailed laws that clearly communicate which practices are banned. Banning Transgender Conversion Practices centres trans realities to rethink and push forward the legal regulation of conversion therapy, culminating in a carefully annotated model law that offers detailed guidance for legislatures and policymakers.
