Een begenadigd schrijfster van poëzie, toneelstukken, libretti en non-fictie, en tevens oprichtster van Amherst Writers and Artists. Al meer dan drie decennia onderwijst ze schrijven en deelt ze haar methode die de schrijfkunst cultiveert met behoud van de unieke stem van de auteur. Haar werk duikt vaak in de verbinding tussen schrijven en spiritualiteit, en onderzoekt thema's als traditie, vergeving en vreugde. De Amherst Writers & Artists-methode wordt wereldwijd toegepast in klaslokalen en workshops, en dient ook als hulpmiddel om achtergestelde bevolkingsgroepen te versterken.
Guides the reader through the perils of the solitary writing life: fear, writer's block, and the bad habits of the internal critic. This book also describes the Amherst Writers and Artists workshop method, widely used across the US and abroad. The chapters on fiction and poetry address matters of technique and point to further resources.
Up-to-date and comprehensive, this practical best-selling text (now available with an online personalized study plan) helps students learn how to deal with and apply ethical standards. Authors Corey, Corey and Callanan provide readers with the basis for discovering their own guidelines within the broad limits of professional codes of ethics and divergent theoretical positions. They raise what they consider to be central issues, present a range of diverse views on these issues, discuss their position, and present many opportunities for readers to refine their own thinking and actively develop their own position. The authors explore such questions as: What role do the therapist's personal values play in the counseling relationship? What ethical responsibilities and rights do clients and therapists have? And, what considerations are involved in adapting counseling practice to diverse client populations?
