Psychotherapy may be a matter of incidental learning here. A celebrity may dispense advice, accidentally or on purpose, & be heeded. Cognitive Therapy tends to be a very practical form of teaching. Celebrities such as television evangelists will give their audience advice. I find some televangelists are fairly competent as cognitive therapists.

The 1931 publication of Stuart N. Lake’s "Wyatt Earp, Frontier Marshal" established a reputation for Wyatt Earp as a fearless law enforcement hero. This iconic figure has been revered or damned by various authors espousing a wide variety of opinions about his activities and character. This presentation will review historical fact, major books and films and television program about him. Family life, motivations and justifications will be discussed. <br/> <br/>Description: Presentation delivered at the International Psychohistorical Association, Fordham University, New York, New York, June 12, 2009 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 20:06:52 GMT http://idea.library.drexel.edu/handle/1860/2883 Title: The Revolution Was Televised: Looking Back at Charles A.

Evidence from other industries however, point to the benefits that such rigorous approaches will offer the construction industry. This article presents the findings of a study conducted to assess the extent to which available techniques for identifying and analyzing risks are applied to construction contract risks by construction professionals in the United Kingdom. The study also sought to evaluate the appropriateness of the predominant techniques used by determining whether the techniques adequately address the nature of contract risks and the significant impact that personal perceptions and biases have on their analysis. The study employed a structured questionnaire survey to collect primary data collection for analysis in order to provide an empirical basis for the major conclusions of the research study. The study found that the predominant approaches to construction contract risks identification and analysis are inappropriate as they rely heavily on single expert assessments and as such do not address the effect of individual perception and biases on the subjective estimates used in their analysis.

Vernard <br/> <br/>Abstract: This study examines (from the formal mentor's perspective) who mentors are (essential traits) as well as what mentors do (essential functions) in four types of organizations (i.e., academic, business, military-armed forces, and military-academic organizations). We found that industry context and gender do significantly influence perceptions of the ideal formal mentor characteristics. Results also indicate formal mentors place more importance on mentor traits (compared to mentor behaviors). Implications for this research include considering revision of the criteria used for the selection of formal mentors.

My presentation will compare and contrast the lives and times and persona of Benjamin Franklin, a city man of colonial and Revolutionary times, with David Crockett, a country man of the early Republic and frontier settlement days. I will review the distinct political and social worlds of these notable men. Each was a public figure, a political candidate and attention magnate, and authored an autobiography. The importance of public image in pre-electronic days will be analyzed.
