This book is an introduction to a group of techniques known as visual mapping and its application in medicine. The best known of these techniques is mind mapping (MM). Mind mapping is a very old technique that has been neglected in many professional areas. Our intention is to offer a book full of useful information to students and professionals of medicine in the application of mind mapping to their work, which we hope will stimulate greater use of this technique. We have been using mind mapping for more than twenty years in different fields, insurance, programming, banking, medicine, GIS, data visualization and, in general, in complex information analysis. Medicine is an important field where more applications are possible.
Mind mapping can help in this type of situations. When employing digital mind mapping (tablet or ultrabook) it is sometimes useful to create floating topics and
move them to their final position in the mind map when there is time. If there is a

The therapeutic relationship is considered to be the most significant factor in achieving positive therapeutic change. As such, it is essential that trainee and practising therapists are able to facilitate a strong working alliance with each of their clients. This book will help them do just that, by offering a practical and evidence-based guide to all aspects of the therapeutic relationship in counselling and psychotherapy. Cross-modal in its approach, this book examines the issues impacting on the therapeutic relationship true to all models of practice. Content covered includes: - The history of the therapeutic relationship - The place of the therapeutic relationship in a range of therapy settings, including IAPT - Concepts and practical skills essential for establishing and maintaining a successful working alliance - The application of the therapeutic relationship to a variety of professional roles in health and social care - Practice issues including potential challenges to the therapeutic relationship, working with diversity and personal and professional development - Research and new developments Using examples, points for reflection and chapter aims and summaries to help consolidate learning, the authors break down the complex and often daunting topic of the therapeutic relationship, making this essential reading for trainee and practising therapists, as well as those working in a wider range of health, social care and helping relationships.
A more active approach to therapy can be successful. The practitioner is, in the
main, an educator or teacher. Therapy is driven by goals. Within CBT there
remains a standard assumption that the TR is necessary to help promote client

An Introduction to Statistics is the ideal text for incorporating an active learning approach to the subject of introductory statistics. Authors Kieth A. Carlson and Jennifer R. Winquist carefully explain fundamental statistical concepts in short, easy-to-understand chapters, then use empirically developed workbook activities to both reinforce and expand on these fundamental concepts. These activities are self-correcting so students discover and correct their own misunderstandings early in the learning process. This approach enables students to be responsible for their own learning by helping them to "read with purpose. Based on contemporary memory research (e.g., the testing effect, embedded reading questions), the text is designed to actively engage students while they generate explanations, which leads to better long term retention. It also contains more traditional student aids including carefully developed learning objectives, realistic research scenarios, practice problems, and self-test questions.

Phenomena of psychology do not occur in a vacuum nor should the instruction of psychology. Previous research indicated a movement towards active learning, which affords instructors and students of psychology the opportunity to break down classroom barriers to bridge academia and real life. Although a substantial amount of research has supported the use of active learning, a gap exists in identifying both the effectiveness of specific techniques and the use of storytelling across disciplines. Specifically, little research has focused on the effectiveness of storytelling as an active learning strategy in introductory college courses, especially in comparison to traditional methods. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to examine the effective use of active learning through storytelling as a means to foster connections between conceptual material and real world application. Participants in this repeated measures, quantitative study included 109 college students who were randomly assigned to one of three experimental learning conditions: No Storytelling, Instructor Story Only, and Instructor Story Plus Student Response. Analyses of variance indicated no significant difference on test scores at Pretest and Posttest 2; however, significant differences were found at Posttest 1. Social change implications for this study may include promoting active learning through storytelling that has the potential to transform learners, instructors, campus environments, online learning communities, and curriculum development practices across higher education.

Over the past 20 years, the study of superprocesses has expanded into a major industry and can now be regarded as a central theme in modern probability theory. This book is intended as a rapid introduction to the subject, geared toward graduate students and researchers in stochastic analysis. A variety of different approaches to the superprocesses emerged over the last ten years. Yet no one approach superseded any others. In this book, readers are exposed to a number of different ways of thinking about the processes, and each is used to motivate some key results. The emphasis is on why results are true rather than on rigorous proof. Specific results are given, including extensive references to current literature for their general form.

From the accusation of plagiarism in The Da Vinci Code, to the infamous hoaxer in the Yorkshire Ripper case, the use of linguistic evidence in court and the number of linguists called to act as expert witnesses in court trials has increased rapidly in the past fifteen years. An Introduction to Forensic Linguistics: Language in Evidence provides a timely and accessible introduction to this rapidly expanding subject. Using knowledge and experience gained in legal settings – Malcolm Coulthard in his work as an expert witness and Alison Johnson in her work as a West Midlands police officer – the two authors combine an array of perspectives into a distinctly unified textbook, focusing throughout on evidence from real and often high profile cases including serial killer Harold Shipman, the Bridgewater Four and the Birmingham Six. Divided into two sections, 'The Language of the Legal Process' and 'Language as Evidence', the book covers the key topics of the field. The first section looks at legal language, the structures of legal genres and the collection and testing of evidence from the initial police interview through to examination and cross-examination in the courtroom. The second section focuses on the role of the forensic linguist, the forensic phonetician and the document examiner, as well as examining in detail the linguistic investigation of authorship and plagiarism. With research tasks, suggested reading and website references provided at the end of each chapter, An Introduction to Forensic Linguistics: Language in Evidence is the essential textbook for courses in forensic linguistics and language of the law.
