This book is a training proposal for hospital volunteer dancers using Venezuelan dance as a pedagogical strategy. The central idea is to "dance with the patient" from the space where the patient is. It uses the scheme of music and dance by colors as a guide to shape the work sessions. It also relies on psychoneuroimmunological strategies taken from psychology and health education such as focusing, visualization and relaxation techniques in accordance with the historical thread of the disease: how the patient was before getting sick, how he/she perceives him/herself now that he/she is sick and how he/she wants to see him/herself in the future healthy. Venezuelan dance is taken as a pedagogical resource because it includes all dance genres, music, theater, singing and oral and scenic narration, which makes it suitable for the patient to choose for body work the piece of his liking and can take home his work scheme to exercise in favor of the recovery of his physical and mental health.

This book explores how cultural and social influences affect consumer decision making with a focus on uncertainty avoidance, rituals, and external threats. Indeed, uncertainty avoidance can exert significant influence on consumer behavior. For example, consumers in a culture with high uncertainty avoidance may show less positive attitudes towards new products than those in a culture with low uncertainty avoidance. Prior cultural research has mainly focused on how individualism/collectivism or power distance belief influences consumer attitudes and behaviors at an individual level, while seldom does research investigate the effect of uncertainty avoidance on consumption. This book examines how uncertainty avoidance affects superstitious consumption as well as its underlying mechanism and boundary condition. Rituals, as a component of culture, can affect consumer behaviors. However, few studies have shedded light on how repeating rituals can affect consumers¿ willingness to use the products involved in the ritual. Consumer behavior is complex. Consumers are surrounded with various external threats such as health, economic, and informational threats, while prior research has primarily focused on health threats. Beyond this, inter-client conflicts, as a special type of social threat, can also affect consumption experience. In all, this book aims to examine how uncertainty avoidance, rituals and external threats influence consumer attitudes and behaviors. In this book, new research models would be developed. This book enriches our understanding on how cultural and social influences affect consumer decision making and provides insights for both researchers and practitioners in marketing.

This book reports on an empirically-based, theoretical model of coaching culture development over four stages. This is the first model of coaching culture development that goes beyond the listing of stages and strategies in the academic literature based on pracademic experience. It is a dynamic, process model which informs practitioners of how to develop a coaching culture in organisations. Each stage is explained in terms of how coaching is conceptualised by organisational leaders, the motivation for introducing coaching into the organisation, the organisational members who are the recipients of coaching, and those who are involved in delivering the coaching at each stage. The model contributes to the academic literature and the growing calls for coaching to become a discipline in its own right.

This book aims to articulate and problematise mental health care production actions in primary care in the municipality of Parnaíba-PI, based on my professional internship practice during my undergraduate degree in Psychology at UFPI and the territorial practices carried out through the Collective Health Observatory extension project. Among the objectives proposed by the study, we highlight the importance of getting to know the mental health care practices of a Family Health Strategy (ESF) and the actions developed, identifying the assistance offered to cases by workers, and ascertaining how the family and the team deal with the person in psychological distress. We also highlight the reflections and dialogues relevant to the struggle to strengthen public mental health policies within the psychiatric reform process, demonstrated through the social commitment that the state, professionals and users must seek on a daily basis to consolidate practices involved with the quality of services and the provision of humanised care for people with mental disorders.
The evolutionary development of individuals is influenced by aspects including the environment, parents and technology. During childhood, social and cognitive development is greatly influenced by technological media, specifically the excessive use of cell phones. The present study seeks to promote family time through filial therapy, which will result in improvements in the social and cognitive development of children aged 5 to 10 years. By means of interviews with parents, tutors and the children themselves, as well as the application of the Corman Test applied before and after therapy, the benefits of family time will be recognized in order to obtain improvements in behavior, skills to interact in the social environment, adaptability to the environment and improvements in the academic performance of children in different contexts.

This book is a timely and much-needed comprehensive compilation that reflects the development of research on consumption and communication in the conflation of the real and digital worlds, bringing together the current state of thinking about the phygital reality market and the cutting-edge challenges that are involved. In this book, the term ¿phygital reality market¿ is used, implying that the physical, digital, and virtual realms are fused into one to recognize and understand the market with multiple or mixed realities. The concept of the phygital reality market captures the new realities that consumers are shopping, consuming, and living, and companies are competing within the physical, digital, and virtual marketplaces. The book covers the research on consumption, service, and communication in the phygital reality market and compiles the current state of thinking, challenges, and cases having to do with the acceptance and diffusion of new technologies of phygital reality. The interest in the phygital reality market, such as omnichannel retailing integrating physical stores and online services, has grown hugely over the last two decades, particularly since the coronavirus pandemic. COVID triggered severe social and economic disruption around the world but has accelerated the acceptance and diffusion of new technologies in the phygital reality market, where the physical, digital, and virtual worlds are conflated. Versatile problem solving and new challenges are reflected in the value realization process of innovation ¿ in other words, widespread acceptance and diffusion of devices or services that embody new technologies. The excitement and hype associated with the metaverse have highlighted the need to understand the creation and adoption of new technologies in consumption and marketing, recognition of the foundational role of new technologies in driving consumer behavior, and marketing theory and practice in value realization as a vital part of the process of digital transformation.
