About the Book A cursory survey of the field of psychology reveals raging debate among psychologists about the methods, goals, and significance of the discipline, psychology's own version of the science wars. The turn-of-the-century unification of the discipline has given way to a proliferation of competing approaches, a postmodern carnival of theories and methods that calls into question the positivist psychological tradition. Bridging the gap between the traditional and the novel, Daniel B. Fishman proposes an invigorated, hybrid model for the practice of psychology-a radical, pragmatic reinvention of psychology based on databases of rigorous, solution-focused case studies. In The Case for Pragmatic Psychology, Fishman demonstrates how pragmatism returns psychology to a focus on contextualized knowledge about particular individuals, groups, organizations, and communities in specific situations, sensitive to the complexities and ambiguities of the real world. Fishman fleshes out his theory by applying pragmatic psychology to two contemporary psychosocial dilemmas -the controversies surrounding the \"psychotherapy crisis\" generated by the growth of managed care, and the heated culture wars over educational reform. Moving with ease from the theoretical to the nuts and bolts of actual psychological intervention programs, Fishman proffers a strong argument for a new kind of psychology with far-reaching implications for enha

This volume brings together a wide array of papers which explore, among other things, to what extent languages and cultures are variable with respect to the interactions around the event of death. Motivated by J. L. Mey's idea of the pragmeme, a situated speech act, the volume has both theoretical and practical implications for scholars working in different fields of enquiry. As the papers in this volume reveal, despite the terminological differences between various disciplines, the interactions around the event of death serve to provide solace, not only to the dying, but also to the family and friends of the deceased, thus helping them to \"accommodate\" to the new state of affairs.

This book shows how research in linguistic pragmatics, philosophy of language, and rhetoric can be connected through argumentation to analyze a recognizably common strategy used in political and everyday conversation, namely the distortion of another's words in an argumentative exchange. Straw man argumentation refers to the modification of a position by misquoting, misreporting or wrenching the original speaker's statements from their context in order to attack them more easily or more effectively. Through 63 examples taken from different contexts (including political and forensic discourses and dialogs) and 20 legal cases, the book analyzes the explicit and implicit types of straw man, shows how to assess the correctness of a quote or a report, and illustrates the arguments that can be used for supporting an interpretation and defending against a distortion. The tools of argumentation theory, a discipline aimed at investigating the uses of arguments by combining insights from pragmatics, logic, and communication, are applied to provide an original account of interpretation and reporting, and to describe and illustrate tactics and procedures that can be used and implemented for practical purposes.. This book will appeal to scholars in the fields of political communication, communication in general, argumentation theory, rhetoric and pragmatics, as well as to people working in public speech, speech writing, and discourse analysis.

Book Synopsis There Is a Way is all about how we get from where we are to where God wants us to be. It is no easy task to describe this trek, but it is the author's goal to offer intriguing ideas and concepts regarding this adventure God offers us. As a pastor and therapist, Kaufman has had a bird's eye view of the life journey of hundreds of people. He uses biblical truth and compatible psychological concepts to describe the skills and practices that help us get from the ""as is"" to our desired goals. This book is designed to be pragmatic. Although there are plenty of deep thoughts to wrestle with, it is also crafted to speak in practical ways about what works. This book includes nine real-life case studies that illustrate how these skills can lead us to a fulfilling life of faith. When we are committed to integrating God's truth into daily life, growth and positive change tend to follow. It is the author's prayer that these pages stir things within you to see God more clearly, love God more, and find the jet stream of God's grace for your future. Review Quotes "Reading There Is a Way is like having a cup of coffee with a wise, trusted friend. Birthed from his years of experience as a counselor, C. Dennis Kaufman offers a refreshing take on spiritual formation--a bridge between ordinary life and the vibrant experience with God we long for. Through his case studies, we see hope for ourselves to find the way to thriving life, and his questions invite us to actively step forward on that path." --Andrew "Fitz" Fitzgibbon, lead minister, Okolona Christian Church "I have met numerous people that are struggling with becoming who they feel God intends them to be. They are stuck in difficult circumstances with no real plan to move towards the growth they desire. In There Is a Way, C. Dennis Kaufman provides practical strategies that have grown from his own spiritual dedication and clinical expertise. Following this wisdom will move you closer to the person you are working to become!" --Aaron W. Banister, licensed psychologist "I have known C. Dennis Kaufman as a friend and colleague for over thirty years. A seasoned pastor and therapist, Kaufman takes the word of God seriously while applying it graciously to our lives. He knows about brokenness, about hurt, about desperately wanting and needing to be someone that we are not. Few books offer a gentle but firm hand to travel this poorly lit path. Deep and yet accessible, this book is a true gem. I highly recommend it!" --James P. Kassel, licensed psychologist About the Author C. Dennis Kaufman has been a pastor and pastoral counselor for over four decades, serving everywhere from a small rural church to a megachurch to an inner-city ministry. His training and experience have provided him ongoing opportunities to integrate the important fields of theology and psychology.

Bringing together work by leading scholars in relevance theory, this volume showcases cutting-edge research within the theory, and demonstrates its influence across a range of fields including linguistics, pragmatics, philosophy of language, literary studies, developmental psychology and cognitive science. Organised into broad thematic strands that represent the latest research and debates, the volume shows the depth of analysis now possible after nearly forty years of intensive work in developing and applying the principles of relevance theory. The breadth of influence of the framework is reflected in the chapters of the volume, in some cases moving beyond the traditional realms of semantics and pragmatics to include discourse analysis, language acquisition, media and education. The volume will be essential reading for researchers in these fields, as well as for those already working within relevance theory or with other pragmatic theories.

When a young child begins to engage in everyday interaction, she has to acquire competencies that allow her to be oriented to the conventions that inform talk-in-interaction and, at the same time, deal with emotional or affective dimensions of experience. The theoretical positions associated with these domains - social-action and emotion - provide very different accounts of human development and this book examines why this is the case. Through a longitudinal video-recorded study of one child learning how to talk, Michael A. Forrester develops proposals that rest upon a comparison of two perspectives on everyday parent-child interaction taken from the same data corpus - one informed by conversation analysis and ethnomethodology, the other by psychoanalytic developmental psychology. Ultimately, what is significant for attaining membership within any culture is gradually being able to display an orientation towards both domains - doing and feeling, or social-action and affect.

Pragmatics and Law: Practical and Theoretical Perspectives

This book explores and provides an overview of the Norwegian psychologist Jan Smedslund's life work on Psycho-logic. His contributions to science have been radical not only in challenging the empirical foundation of psychology, but also in seeking to develop a viable alternative. This book brings together various reflections on his key contributions from the 1960s to the present day. The volume features three chapters by Jan Smedslund, offering his updated views on psychological science and psychotherapy. It also features contributions from several scholars that critically evaluates his legacy. His seminal ideas are discussed, revised and expanded upon and the questions raised are put in relevant historical and interdisciplinary context. Respect for Thought is a valuable resource for psychological researchers, historians of psychology, cultural psychologists, critical psychologists, theoretical psychologists, clinical psychologists and psychotherapists, social scientists, philosophers of psychology, and philosophers of science.

This volume explores how the principles and values of pragmatic philosophy serve as orienting perspectives for critical thinking in contemporary psychotherapy and clinical practice. Drawing on the contributions of William James and John Dewey, Neuroscience, Psychotherapy, and Clinical Pragmatism introduces a model of clinical pragmatism emphasizing the individuality of the person, open-ended dialogue, experiential learning, and the practical outcomes of ideas and methods. In a second part, chapters show how recent developments in neuroscience and interpersonal neurobiology deepen our understanding of change and growth in accord with the principles of clinical pragmatism. Finally, the volume reviews paradigms of psychotherapy across the psychodynamic, behavioral, cognitive, and humanistic traditions. Case studies show how the pluralist orientation of clinical pragmatism enlarges concepts of therapeutic action. This text has been written for psychotherapists as well as scholars, educators, and trainees in the fields of psychiatry, clinical psychology, counseling, and social work.
