Most Americans admire the determination and drive of artists, athletes, and CEOs, but they seem to despise similar ambition in their elected officials. The structure of political representation and the separation of powers detailed in the United States Constitution were intended to |

restrain self-interested ambition. Because not all citizens have a desire to rule, republican democracies must choose leaders from pools of ambitious candidates while trying to prevent those same people from exploiting public power to dominate the less ambitious.Ambition in America: Political Power and the |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Communication difficulties and needs in children and adults arise from a wide range of causes but one unifying factor is their effect on people's everyday lives -- lived through conversations. Communication difficulties affect life opportunities, societal participation and mental health. They impact on everyday interactions and conversations with others at home, in communities, in education and in healthcare. There is a growing movement amongst speech and language therapists to offer communication partner training (CPT) to tackle the impact of communication difficulties and needs. Better Conversations is both an approach to the study of conversation in communication difficulty and a growing suite of CPT intervention programs underpinned by Conversation Analytic principles and methods. [This book] is a practical resource for clinicians who wish to implement the Better Conversations approach to CPT. |
