Böcker av Howard Rosenthal

In Ideology and Congress, authors Poole and Rosenthal have analyzed over 13 million individual roll call votes spanning the two centuries since Congress began recording votes in 1789

By tracing the voting patterns of Congress throughout the country's history, this work shows that, despite an array of issues facing legislators, over 81 percent of their voting decisions can be attributed to a consistent ideological position ranging from ultraconservatism to ultraliberalism.

Examines the common causal patterns in the development of differing ideologies, arguing that any ideology is composed of three ingredients: a Mosaic myth; characteristic philosophical tenets spreading from left to right, which conform to the cycle of ideas; and it must be taken up by some section of the population who can translate it into action.

A collection of one-on-one interviews with some of the top therapists and counsellors in the world. Each interview reveals insights into the therapists' personal lives, their observations on counselling and the helping profession in general.

Written in a conversational style, this book provides techniques and specific suggestions to combat depression, fear, loneliness, anger, poor self-image, relationship difficulties and other problems.

This book begins where courses, workshops, training seminars, and textbooks leave off, providing a behind-the-scenes look at the fields of therapy, counselling and human services.
