Clinical Habit Introduction Mind Philosophy - HOME Clinical Habit Introduction Mind Philosophy Introduction to Clinical Psychology: Scientific Foundations to Clinical Practice by Michael Wierzbicki, Clinical psychology is a complex field that is often studied in a piecemeal way.

Cultural Encounter Field in Open Science - HOME Cultural Encounter Field in Open Science 95 Theses on Politics, Culture, and Method by Anne Norton, When Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses on the church door at Wittenberg, he offered a challenge to the dominant establishment of which he was a member. In this provocative book, political scientist Anne Norton proposes 95 theses that launch a brilliant, witty polemic against the reigning orthodoxies in her own field. Rejecting the antiquated and stultifying models encountered in textbooks and in courses on methodology and championed by the self-appointed gatekeepers of a narrow and parochial political science, Norton opens the gates to new practices, new principles, new questions, more methods, and more demanding ethical and scientific criteria. Practice, she argues, has outstripped old models and conventional standards.
