Johan Holmberg – författare

Varför blir Göran arg av mina frågor? Varför ökar jag samtalets tempo med Sara? Varför är lönesamtal alltid så jobbiga? Hur skall jag få Jens att vilja träffa mig igen? Det professionella samtalet är en central del i många yrken. Ibland kan det kännas frustrerande, andra gånger flyter samtalet på och bidrar till förändring. Denna bok handlar om att skapa samtal som fungerar, samtal som får oss dit vi vill. Målet är att kunna använda samtalet på ett mer effektivt sätt för att hjälpa andra.

Det unika med boken är att författarna kombinerar principer från beteendeterapi, tillämpad beteendeanalys och motiverande samtal (MI) för att ge en fördjupad förståelse kring vad som händer i samtal. Dessa perspektiv hjälper oss att se samtalet som ett sammanhang där två personer deltar i en ömsesidig växelverkan och hur båda påverkar samtalets utveckling – i både positiv och negativ riktning.

Boken riktar sig till studerande och yrkesverksamma psykologer, socionomer, sjuksköterskor, läkare och alla andra som har samtal som ett arbetsredskap.

First published in 1992. The world is not living within its means. Current development policies, in both industrial and developing countries, are wasting resources and destroying the commons on which we all depend. The world is set on a path of deepening poverty and a deteriorating environment. New policies are needed to achieve sustainable development.

This book presents an integrated series of essays on the policies for sustainable development from one of the leading policy research institutes on environment and development issues. It concentrates on the developing world and looks at the specific sectors to which the policies have to be applied. Beginning with a discussion of what constitutes sustainable development, it goes on to deal with the institutional arrangements needed to mobilise human resources for change and the economic policies for sustainable natural resource management. It then examines the policies needed in agriculture, urban development, industry, forests, drylands, energy use, finance, population and consumption.

Throughout it demonstrates how those directly involved are best placed to manage their environments and resources. Policies must support the experience and resourcefulness of local people. Sustainable development requires that they control their own futures. This title will be of great interest to students of Environmental Studies.
