      abstract = {This book presents a theory of motives that has evolved  over decades in dialogue with academics and with  practitioners. The key proposal is that of collectively  cultivating meta-motives rather than the ubiquitous recipes  for manipulating self-regulation. Cultivating meta-motives  can proceed through rearticulating motives. Such  rearticulation engages with theories and practices of  motivation and motives. First, this is a discussion of the  psychologies of motivation, and a reflection of  post-psychology as a way forward. Second, this discussion  takes us back to fundamental problems with subjectivity,  and with psychology, even critical psychology, as a way of  addressing it. Third, out of this theoretical work come  concepts that are put to work in understanding practices of  modelling and cultivating motives clinical, social work,  and educational practices. In the first instance, as a  critique of contemporary pragmatic practices, and then by  rearticulating aesthetic practices as ways to expand and  overcome those. Fourth, this has implications for the  cultivation of the competence in care for motives, and for  the place of theory in this competence. The book provides  both a theoretical argument and a resource for those  professionals in education, social work, and health who  seek a qualitative understanding of what they do.  Motivation is the central issue of human psychology. Yet it  is gloriously understudied within the kind of psychologies  that have flourished over the past century. This book  Rearticulating Motives makes a difference. Not only are  issues of motivation brought back into the theoretical  center of psychological science through this book, but the  whole issue of motivation is appropriately situated within  the field of our societal discourses about addictions,  therapies, standards, and ordinary human strivings to be  some-body in the middle of many-bodies.
