During the last few years, teachers across cultures have faced a lot of unprecedented demands in developing their methods in instruction. Population mobility, unstable labour market and globalisation change society around us rapidly. In addition, education per se is constantly changing, and redefining and modifying learning and teaching environments are an ongoing process. For example, modern educational psychology, including positive psychology movements emphasizing collaborative knowledge creation, calls teachers to facilitate their students’ learning and wellbeing and to create a positive learning environment instead of using traditional frontal teaching and other teacher-centered methods. Digital revolution has challenged teachers to adapt new educational settings and to update their pedagogical approaches into more use of digital solutions. Indeed, the COVID-19 pandemic propelled the teachers to offer new optimal learning experiences.
Over the last three decades a large body of research has showed that psychosocial job dimensions such as time pressure, decision authority and social support, could have significant implications for psychological distress and well-being. Theoretical models, such as the job demand-control-social support model (JDCS model), the effort-reward imbalance model (ERI model), the job demands-resources model (JDR model) and the vitamin model suggest that distress and positive dimensions at work (well being and motivation) can be considered as two sides of the same coin. If the job is designed to provide the right mix of psychosocial job dimensions (e.g., optimal time pressure, decision authority and ...

Hoewel allerlei vormen van verslaving meer dan ooit de samenleving ondermijnen, verschillen deskundigen nog altijd van mening over de fundamentele aard van verslaving en de beste behandelmethode. In dit boek put Carl Erik Fisher uit zijn eigen ervaring als klinisch psychiater, onderzoeker en herstellend alcoholist, afkomstig uit een familie die al generaties lang worstelt met verslavingen. Hij ontdekte dat het moeras waarin hij verkeerde slechts een herhaling was van een eeuwenoud verhaal. Met veel empathie en eruditie schetst Fisher een prikkelende cultuurgeschiedenis van verslavingsgedrag. Een fenomeen zo oud als de mensheid, dat we vele eeuwen later nauwelijks beter begrijpen.
