Coaching the Multiplicity of Mind: A Strengths-based Model
Professional health and wellness coaches are passionate about helping people learn, change, and grow. We are lifelong students of what enables humans to perform at our best. The phrase coaching the whole person is common coaching parlance; full engagement in self-care often requires that clients shift a spectrum of beliefs, motives, and perspectives in order to make changes that are sustainable. Just as important is the need for coaches to fully engage in their own self-care in order to best serve their clients
Music Therapy in Adult Medical Settings: Recommendations and Advocacy for Sustainable Programs
This thesis research provides advocacy, strategies, and recommendations for sustainable music therapy program structures in adult medical settings. A review of the related literature justifies the need for and benefits of music therapy programs in adult medical settings. Recommendations for establishing and growing a music therapy program in these settings are based on semi-structured interviews conducted with three music therapists who have successfully implemented cost-effective and sustainable programs. Important considerations identified for program development include what to incorporate in a development pitch, the workload and well-being of the music therapist, and staff perceptions and relationship to the music therapy program

Sub-State Nationalism and International Law
This Article explores the relationship between international law, defined broadly as the principles, norms, and rules governing the international order and the aspirations for collective self-government by minority national communities. It argues that there will be increasing challenges to the current international legal rules by minority nationalists, and that it is important to develop a principled response to this challenge. It also argues that the current system privileges state actors to a great extent, and that any attempt to channel self-determination claims in a more benign, non-secessionist direction needs to address the statecentric biases of the current rules
New urbanist housing in Toronto, Canada: a critical examination of the structures of provision and housing producer practices
The empirical focus for this thesis research is Toronto, Canada where four
case study sites are investigated and fifty-seven semi-structured interviews
conducted with a range of actors both directly and indirectly involved in the
creation of New Urbanist-inspired development projects. Two of the sample
projects are situated in greenfield locations outside the administrative
boundary of the City of Toronto, and two are situated in brownfield locations
on formerly developed lands, both within the urban core of the City of
Toronto. The contrasting contexts of the study units have been purposefully
selected to explore the possibility of multi-factor causality involving contrasts
of place, process, time, and social interaction.
Underpinning this empirical research is the contention that the structures of
provision model provides a useful approach for framing housing production
research. However, it is argued that the evaluative power of this approach is
limited by its inability to adequately account for how and why the New
Urbanist form of provision has emerged, been legitimised, and normalised as
'best practice' within Toronto. In an unorthodox move, the final chapter of this
thesis takes the level of theorisation enabled via the empirical framework of
the structures of provision a step further to address this shortcoming. This is
done by applying a 'rationalities' perspective to the investigation of how and
why New Urbanism has become such a powerful force within Toronto's
development cultures
