Sommario/riassunto

Erich Fromm's insightful work on the modern human condition, and how to break free of its bondsIn the 1960s, renowned social psychologist Erich Fromm argued that people were becoming increasingly alienated. No longer were we dynamic, constantly creative beings. Instead, he observed, we were becoming fixated on things like television, while the specter of nuclear war remained a consistent worry. On Being Human gathers several ofFromm's writings on the ';New Humanism' he proposed. In addition, the book presents a most interesting chapter on ';Having' and ';Being' according to Master Eckhart and Karl Marx that originally was written to be included in To Have or To Be? This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erich Fromm including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author's estate.

Sommario/riassunto

This Open Access book provides detailed practical guidance on how to do a Delphi study to establish a consensus across the broad range of social, psychological, health and environmental sciences. The book informs the design of Delphi studies by drawing on wisdom-of-crowds



research on the conditions under which groups make better-quality judgements. It covers the development of the Delphi method and its many variations, as well as the ways this method has been used to make judgements of facts where the evidence is imperfect, set methodological standards, make predictions, define foundational concepts, determine collective values, and improve professional practice and policy. It takes the reader through the steps in carrying out a Delphi study and the choices that have to be made at each step. It also covers the implementation of Delphi findings in practice. Case examples are included throughout drawing from a variety of disciplines. Anthony Jorm is an Emeritus Professor at the University of Melbourne and National Health & Medical Research Council Leadership Fellow, Australia. His research focuses on building the community’s capacity for prevention and early intervention with mental disorders. He has been an author of over 60 studies using the Delphi method.
