Synopsis

Providing insight into the lives of troubled, at-risk, and high-risk kids, Psyche-Soul-ology offers a new approach to mentor this segment of the population to produce favorable outcomes. Author Dr. David L. Roberts, a practicing psychologist, presents a model that includes focusing on both the minds of the youths and their souls.

A companion to At the Mercy of Externals, also by Roberts, this edition provides a practical guide for social services personnel who work with troubled kids. Offering appropriate and specific case examples, Psyche-Soul-ology addresses everything from myths to misperceptions relative to issues of psychological development, sexuality, addiction, criminality, and intelligence, all mixed with proven approaches that maximize efforts to reach and guide kids successfully into their respective and subjective futures. This guide revisits the RFLAGS Model and introduces the codes of ethics, codes of conduct, and the concept of moral development and responsibilities that are needed to shape our value systems and the way we prioritize things in our lives.

Psyche-Soul-ology provides the resources and practical techniques to take kids and adults out of the bondage to external factors and gives them the internal perspective needed to successfully move forward in life.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Psyche-Soul-ology: An Inspirational Approach to Appreciating and Understanding Troubled Kids is a companion text to At the Mercy of Externals: Righting Wrongs and Protecting Kids, 2nd Edition. Dr. Roberts presents a spiritually based application of his theories and the Roberts FLAGS Model detailed in his first book. His use of the term Psyche-Soul-ology focuses on the importance of addressing both the minds and souls of troubled kids. Of utmost importance is the need to look beyond the obvious external behaviors and problems of every kid, making an effort to see who they truly are relative to their unique potential for redirecting their lives. By looking into each kid it is possible to discover their uniqueness and encourage them to understand who they are intended to be, rather than who they are becoming. Dr. Roberts stresses the importance of complicating factors serving as obstacles to the progress of low income, disadvantaged kids. He focuses heavily on professional ethics and the need for both extreme compassion and full competence when working with troubled kids and their families. Both of these books are vital for parents and professionals if we are to fight against social injustices associated with poverty and other complicating factors.
