This volume provides a theoretical and empirical review of the societal and educational factors that contribute to ‘emerging adulthood’. This developmental stage occurs between adolescence and adulthood and can be regarded as a relatively new phase in research on development. The book specifically examines how these societal and educational changes have contributed to the transitory nature of emerging adulthood and the resulting consequences. Particular attention is paid to the transitory nature of this stage of life, primarily in regard to relationship dynamics. The book examines the nature of the parental relationship during emerging adulthood. It uses qualitative data from a recent phenomenological study to illustrate unique aspects of the parental relationship during this stage and discusses the findings in the context of existing empirical work. The book provides a holistic and thorough examination of emerging adulthood in general and the parental dynamics present during this stage, in particular.
Approximately more than half of the imprisoned persons in the United States are individuals having a mental health diagnosis. As the mental health population within these facilities continues to rise, the lack of mental health professionals serving the population persists. For the student art therapist about to begin an internship at a jail, there is a lack of information, which leads to questions about mixed messages and uncertainty. This thesis addressed the thoughts, feelings, and concerns of a student art therapist completing her internship in a jail through the use of heuristic methodology and artistic inquiry. Through the methods of journaling and spontaneous art making, the researcher identified three themes within the artwork, quality of lines, space utilized and content; and six themes in the journals, boundaries, interactions with colleagues, negative emotions, competence, and lack of interest. Through creative synthesis using a one-canvas process painting, the researcher was able to gain a better understanding of herself as an individual and as a therapist. Recommendations and suggestions for future research and student practitioners was provided based on the results.
The Middle East conflict system is perhaps the world’s most important and intractable problem area, whose developments carry global consequences. An effective investigation of the context and change in the region calls for a melding of academic approaches, methods and findings with policy oriented needs. The Israeli Conflict System brings together leading conflict scholars primarily from political science, applying a range of advanced, rigorous analytic and data-gathering techniques to address this single empirical domain—the contemporary Israeli Conflict System. Recognising the causal complexity of this conflict system, the volume’s central theme is that the system’s current conditi...

The most long-lasting and enduring relationship an individual can develop is with a sibling. Considering the closeness in age and early association of siblings, they can bond for a lifetime. Psychologists are beginning to appreciate the sibling link and its dynamic role in a child's social development. Beyond the mother-child dyad, sibling associations are now attributed with determining cognitive faculties, emotional balance, self-sufficiency, and peer interactions. Clarifying the complex processes of these relationships and the benefit of parental involvement, Avidan Milevsky provides a foundational text for a growing area of study. Deploying personal narrative, theoretical examinations, a...
