  • - A Case of Catatonia and Discussion
    av Bennett E Roth Phd
    805,-

    This book explores the psychoanalytic treatment of a patient with psychosis from a range of different psychotherapeutic perspectives.The psychotherapeutic treatment of psychotic individuals is both rare and controversial with a limitation in availability of clinical material. As psychoanalytically oriented therapy is private, it is almost impossible to "witness" the actual human interaction of therapeutic process. While catatonia is a rare disorder there are many attempts to hypothesize a theoretical psychic structure for the range of disorders called psychotic. Therapists rarely report "successful" outcomes of long and unusual treatments. In the book a fragment of the treatment of a catatonic adolescent is reconstructed as an endeavour in representing that which is not clinically representable. Following the case report, which also reveals part of the history of the therapist, prominent analytic clinicians of different theoretical orientations share their understanding and comment on the material revealed.With a fresh perspective on psychoanalytic treatment of psychosis, this book is an essential reading for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, and clinicians involved in the treatment of psychosis.

  • av James Elkins
    599 - 1 955,-

    A thoughtful, engaging and intimate history of art that offers a critical analysis of the assumptions on which the entire discipline of art history depends.Concise and original, this accessible second edition continues to act as an antidote to the behemoth art history textbooks of the past. Cultures have their own stories - about themselves, about other cultures - and to hear them all is one way to hear the multiple stories that art tells. James Elkins persuasively demonstrates there can never be one story of art now that art historians are concerned with gender, diversity, inclusiveness, and decolonization. Stories of Art is an interactive, iconoclastic text, encouraging readers to imagine how they would present art history in an age of multiple narratives. Elkins discusses decolonizing the discipline, representing race and ethnicity, Eurocentrism, postnationalism, and indigenous voices while examining histories of art written in China, Persia, Turkey, and India. This new edition features QR codes to 27 short videos that introduce challenging ideas about art and history in a clear and open way, encouraging active reading, and including ideas for writing exercises and class conversations.A must read for students and scholars interested in exploring the cultural function of art history.

  • av Rosemary H Balsam
    569 - 2 029

    Alongside its companion volume, this book addresses the current lack of familiarity with the ideas and life of the eminent psychoanalytic teacher and scholar, Hans Loewald (1906-1993), to provide an account of the evolution of his ideas across different disciplinary fields.Contributions to this volume take a broad look at Loewald's impact for the fields of sociology, anthropology and feminism, as well as delving into his work's significance for the sublimatory potential of religion, music and the arts. The volume shows how Loewald's thinking about internalisation can adapt to our ever-changing social and cultural environment, even offering a Loewaldian lens to understand the contemporary use of psychedelics in mental health treatment. Ultimately this volume demonstrates that, after Loewald--as would have been his wish--for those who read him, psychoanalysis as an approach to mental health can never languish in stasis. Animating this powerful, yet contained and complex man, there are contributions from his family, students and analysands, and an introduction to the new virtual Loewald Center, making this volume essential reading for any psychoanalyst or psychotherapist working today.

  • - Eyes That Talk
    av Isabella Poggi
    599 - 1 955,-

    Verbal and non-verbal communicative acts mark the links within our discourse, help us to exchange turns and give backchannel in conversation. This book analyses the communicative system of gaze in depth, investigating its structure and functions the same way that words and gestures are studied, and shows how to do so by establishing a phonology, a morphology, and a semantics of eye communication, before finally outlining a lexicon of gaze.Poggi provides a detailed semantic analysis of lexical items, highlights the role of gaze in multimodal communication, and illustrates its uses in everyday life, politics, education, and musical performance. The meanings we communicate by gaze are intertwined with the multimodality of our communication, thus integrating, complementing, sometimes contradicting, whether deliberately or inadvertently, what we tell by words or gestures.Starting from a robust theoretical framework, this book also provides an overview of the methods that can be exploited to study gaze, ranging from ethnosemantics to observation and simulation, and provides examples of their use.A timely and original contribution that is essential reading for advanced students, scholars and researchers of multimodal communication, pragmatics, social psychology, and related areas.

  • - Individual, Couple, Family and Child Psychotherapy
    av Augustine Meier
    529 - 2 029

    This book presents a comprehensive guide to applying Meier and Boivin's Self-in-Relationship Psychotherapy model to clinical work with individuals, couples, families and children.The central theme of the book is that the paradigm of affects, cognitive processes and behaviors that informs current psychotherapy approaches needs to be broadened to include core self, relational and physical intimacy needs as motivating factors in psychotherapy. Drawing on multiple influences including relational psychoanalysis, the authors illustrate how to work with core needs when providing therapy to children and adults. They establish that core needs are universal, and their realizations are essential for healthy living and argue that clients achieve the healthiest outcomes by finding a way to balance the self alongside their relations with others. The concept of core self, relational and physical intimacy needs is what binds all the chapters in this book and makes it unique among psychotherapy approaches.With a clear transtheoretical approach and rich clinical vignettes, this book is core reading for any psychotherapists, psychoanalyst, or practicing psychologists.

  • - How It's Made, Implemented, and Can Be Done Better
    av Nansi Ellis
    459 - 2 095,-

    By focusing on the relationships involved, Improving Education Policy Together will change how policymaking in education is approached, and showcase alternative models that will lead to more sustainable and effective practices. The authors analyse the state of educational policymaking in England. They particularly reflect on the relationships of the different people and organisations involved -- policymakers such as politicians, civil servants, unions -- and explain how these interact with the wider world. Building on the experiences of the authors on different sides of the process, the book explores the reasons why education policies fail the very sector they are intended to serve. By considering aspects of policymaking in different countries, the authors highlight more effective ways of building relationships between decision-makers and those affected by educational policy. This book explores as an alternative, long term, systems-led and relational policymaking, and maps out a range of unique models for change. Of interest to those involved in developing and influencing policy in government, this book will be essential reading for political parties, unions, civil servants, charities as well as teachers and leaders who believe they should be much more influential in the policies that affect their working lives and seek to adopt a better approach to making education policy.

  • - Creative Methods in Guidance and Counselling
    av Reinekke Lengelle
    2 029

    Creative Methods are a shortcut to what we didn't know we knew. In working from a student's or client's own imagination and psychological material, a person discovers who they are and what they need to expand and move forward.This enriching and inspiring book on creative methods demonstrates the power and effectiveness of the creative approach in guidance and counselling settings. The twenty chapters in this volume focus on the importance and joys of play, creative expression, and imagination in effective learning: as we develop, observe, and interact with our own creations we can arrive at fresh insights by tapping into the wisdom of the unconscious mind. Creative methods often provide a new perspective on difficult emotions and allow us to perceive what they're trying to tell us. Chapter topics include the following: Embodied Theatre Ecology; the Use of Poetry with Clients Recovering from Anorexia; Retirement Life Writing; the Value of Metaphors in Grieving; the Construction of New Narrative Identities in Careers; Dance Movement Psychotherapy as an Approach to Depression; Psychodrama and Philosophy in Learning Self-care by Encountering the "Unknown Other"; Artistic Tools for Psychotherapeutic Work with Children and Youth; Temporal Chair Work; Identity Learning through Paintings; and the ways in which Poetry can Help us Bridge Cultural Divides and Inform Career Learning Practices.This volume will be of value and interest to students, researchers, teachers, professionals, and practitioners of psychology, behavioural sciences, mental health, counselling, and education. The chapters in this book were originally published as special issues in the British Journal of Guidance and Counselling.

  • - Methods, Ethics and Dilemmas
    av Paloma Gay Blasco
    2 095,-

    This is the first interdisciplinary collection to analyse the place of Romanies and Travellers within contemporary Europe through the lens of gender and violence. In hospitals, schools and social assistance centres, in encounters with humanitarian agencies and the police, and in media and state representations, violence against Romanies and Travellers is always gendered. The contributors disentangle the array of relations, expectations and beliefs that make gendered violences against Romanies and Travellers appear necessary, unavoidable, or appropriate. They examine forms of gendered violence that may develop within Romani and Traveller communities against this framework of oppression and attrition. The volume foregrounds the methodological and ethical challenges involved in researching gendered violences in Romani and Traveller contexts, questioning the relationships between gender, violence and other experiences and concepts such as marginalisation, oppression, exclusion, harm, slow death, social suffering and necropolitics. The volume is grounded in reflexive feminist standpoints with a collaborative ethos that offers proposals for further analysis, policy development and engaged practice. It contributes to the theorising of gendered violence in the social sciences by assessing dominant models and perspectives in the light of overlooked Romani and Traveller experiences, and is particularly relevant to scholars from anthropology, gender studies, sociology, and social work.

    Genesis Myth in Beowulf and Old English Biblical Poetry explores the adaptation of antediluvian Genesis and related myth in the Old Testament poems Genesis A and Genesis B, as well as in Beowulf, a secular heroic narrative.The book explores how the Genesis poems resort to the Christian exegetical tradition and draw on secular social norms to deliver their biblically derived and related narratives in a manner relevant to their Christian Anglo-Saxon audiences. In this book it is suggested that these elements work in unison, and that the two Genesis poems function coherently in the context of the Junius 11 manuscript. Moreover, the book explores recourse to Genesis-derived myth in Beowulf, and points to important similarities between this text and the Genesis poems. It is therefore shown that while Beowulf differs from the Genesis poems in several respects, it belongs in a corpus where religious verse enjoys prominence.

    av Michael Kellmann
    1 155 - 1 959,-

    The Recovery-Stress Questionnaire (RESTQ) identifies the current recovery-stress states and provides a complete picture of the actual extent of stress and recovery. Written to support those using the RESTQ, this manual offers advice on scope and application, facets of stress and recovery, versions and scoring, interpretation of results, and reliability and validity for each of the five forms of questionnaire.The questionnaire is based on the hypothesis that an accumulation of stress in different areas of life, with insufficient opportunity for recovery, leads to a critical psychophysiological state. The RESTQ measures the frequency of current stress symptoms along with the frequency of recovery-associated activities to offer a differentiated picture of the current recovery stress state. There are five forms of the RESTQ: a general version (RESTQ-Basic) with seven stress scales and five recovery scales is the foundation for the specific versions for athletes (RESTQ-Sport), for coaches (RESTQ-Coach), for children and adolescents (RESTQ-CA), and for the work context (RESTQ-Work). All versions take a modular structure and contain scales measuring specific aspects of stress and recovery in their field. These scales provide valuable information immediately on areas where improvement is needed in stress and recovery research across a range of applied settings.Drawing on experiences and scientific findings from sport to make them usable for an expanded understanding of recovery in the fields of health, work and other related areas, this book is written for the scientific community, applied psychologists and health scientists, and interested readers.

  • - A Pedagogy of Desiring and Thinking for Politics
    av Mark Aloysius
    2 095,-

    This book addresses a lacuna in scholarship concerning Hannah Arendt's Augustinian heritage that has predominantly focused on her early work. It de-canonises the sources that political theology has appealed to by shifting the interpretive focus to her mature treatment in The Life of the Mind. Arendt's initial criticism of Augustinian desiring is that it generates worldlessness. In her later works, Arendt develops a more nuanced reading of the movements of thinking, desiring, and loving in her engagement with Augustine. This study attends to these movements and inspects the spatio-temporal framework which structure Arendt's conception of the political. The author assesses the claim that Arendt's conception of the political is drawn from a pedagogy of desiring and thinking from Augustine severed from his mystagogy. Although respecting the method of political theory, the author contends that Arendt's severing of Augustinian pedagogy from mystagogy brings her to an insurmountable aporia. Instead, the author embeds these pedagogical practices within Augustine's theology and suggests how that aporia might be overcome and used to develop a mystagogy for contemporary political life. The book will be of particular interest to scholars of political theology, as well as political theory, and political philosophy.

    av Natsuyo Lipschutz

    Written by a non-native English-speaking professional speaker with over 20 years of international consulting experience, this book lays out a step-by-step process to improve cross-cultural communication skills and achieve a strong global presence. Every year organizations lose money, time, and people due to poor or inefficient cross-cultural communication--and this can be between departments or individuals within an organization as easily as across oceans. To tackle this widespread problem, Natsuyo Lipschutz developed the 3-step process she calls the "3 As" (Acknowledge, Analyze, Adapt), using a unique multi-layered approach: cross-culture X logical thinking X storytelling. Using the 3As process, readers will improve their awareness of cultural differences, learn analytical and logical thinking skills to zero in on their own unique message, tell persuasive stories, and ultimately, get their messages not only clearly heard but acted upon in a culturally diverse, global business environment. Filled with lessons and real-life stories from global companies and executives who benefitted from Natsuyo's guidance, this book will appeal to any business leader who needs to communicate with a diverse range of stakeholders, whether in a different country or a different team, to persuade and succeed.
