Triarchy Press Covert: A Handbook: 30 Movement Meditations for
Book Synopsis'Covert' responds to three converging afflictions in society: our growing fixation with spending time looking at a screen the proportion of our lives we spend sitting/lying down, as a result the invasion of our privacy in the digital age To address these challenges (amplified in the Covid-19 pandemic) this handbook compiles 30 'movement meditations' that encourage readers to put down their phones and tablets to reclaim both an active and contemplative lifestyle, one that is highly integrated with, and inspired by, our surroundings. 'Covert' joins-up inner reflection, subtle physical play and public space to suggest ways of resisting invasion and activating the self in an era of sedentary screen time and surveillance. Using 30 carefully crafted 'movement meditations' - each with an accompanying photo to explain it - Covert outlines a straightforward, embodied practice that we can use to defend and preserve ourselves in the everyday world against the intrusion of digital media and the surveillance state. The 'Covert' practice is a way to diminish the lure of the screens, sidestep invasive scrutiny, and nurture the dialogue between our conscious and unconscious selves. By prioritizing introspective interactions with the quirky and complex world around us, 'Covert' shows that we have the means to cultivate our interior and imaginative selves through a dynamic, physical engagement with the wider world.Table of ContentsIntroduction Invasion and the Self Welcoming Spaces The Process The Meditations 1.

Triarchy Press When I Open My Eyes: Dance Health Imagination
Book SynopsisCelebrated dance artist and body therapist Miranda Tufnell takes us on a moving and inspiring exploration of the field of dance and health. For 14 years she worked in a GP surgery in Cumbria and the book opens with a vivid account of an arts project that she and her collaborators ran there for people with long-term health conditions. This is a book about the body and movement, about imagination and health. It gathers many stories, voices and activities from artists, patients and health practitioners. The arts have long played a role in medicine and there is a substantial body of evidence for the potency of arts practice in strengthening our resources and capacity for wellbeing. While the work is sourced in the body and movement, it is not only written for people with a dance background. Listening creatively to the body strengthens our body intelligence and ability to look after ourselves effectively. Practitioners from many backgrounds come into this field and will find something of interest. This book sets out to inspire rather than to teach, to offer windows into practice, and to convey something of what it is like to work in this field.Trade Review"This book is a plea for dance as a means of moving beyond the anatomised, medicalised, sexualised body to the body as a vital portal into the shifting and complex nature of being alive. It takes the reader on journeys that weave together stories, insights and practical exercises. A rare and moving book and a companion for health practitioners, teachers, students, movers and those searching for creative expression."

Springer International Publishing AG Integrating Therapeutic Play Into Nursing and
Book SynopsisThis book helps support developmentally sensitive nursing and allied health practice by integrating the therapeutic powers of play into child and adolescent health care service provision. It is designed to link play, child development, neuroscience, biopsychosocial and attachment theories with the biomedical model of health. Nurses and allied health professionals work with children aged between 0-18 years and with diverse childhood illnesses, injuries, diseases, disorders, and conditions, and are therefore in a prime position to understand and support children through potentially painful and traumatic health care experiences. Understanding of the role of play and the application of the therapeutic powers of play in communicating with children and families has the potential to significantly optimise paediatric care. The theory and play based strategies, tools and techniques presented in this book assist nurses and health care professionals to engage with children in an age-appropriate manner and ‘speak’ with children through their natural language of play, to enhance comprehension, coping, resiliency, and healing. Play is recognised as a sequentially developing ability and can be aligned with the child’s age and stage of life. Play based approaches can be placed on a continuum from fully child led or non-directive play to adult facilitated educative play. Medical information can be tailored according to the various points along this continuum to inform clinical reasoning and to help children prepare for procedures, recover from medical interventions and / or make sense of their diagnosis. Whilst this book is directed at nurses and allied health professionals who work with children and their families, it may also be a valuable resource for medical and other professionals in community or educational settings to work systemically as a team. The book takes the reader on a journey to illustrate various professional and therapeutic roles in how to playfully engage children through a range of case vignettes.Table of ContentsForward Dr Athena A Drewes dr.athena.drewes@gmail.com Introduction Natalie Hadiprodjo, Belinda Dean and Judi Parson natalie.hadiprodjo@deakin.edu.au Section 1 Theoretical Background Each chapters in this section will follow a specific format to provide uniformity. · At the beginning of the chapter please write 3 or 4 objectives: · Introduction § Topic 1 § Topic 2 § Topic 3 § Topic 4 · Chapter Summary · References · Key terms · Reflective questions and activities · Additional resources Chapter 1. Setting the scene Judi Parson judi.parson@deakin.edu.au This chapter will provide an overview of the book including the theoretical orientation to introduce the overarching humanistic, childhood developmental and neuroscientific approaches that will set the scene. It will provide the context in relation to the various health care settings where nurses and other health care professionals meet child clients and their families, i.e. primary, secondary and tertiary health care services, and justify the need for interpersonal, interprofessional and transdisciplinary interactions to deliver holistic care. It will introduce the how, what, why, when, and where, to include therapeutic skills using a developmentally sensitive approach to care for children. This chapter also orients the reader to the structure of the book. Chapter 2. Therapeutic Play Fi Melita & Judi Parson fmelita@deakin.edu.au This chapter presents a definition of overview of play including differentiating normative, therapeutic and educative play as well as play therapy, medical play therapy, Filial Therapy, and Child life Therapy as relevant in health care settings. It also provides the historical development of the Therapeutic Powers of Play as a model based on the work of Charles E Schaefer and Athena Drewes (2011). It then examines how the therapeutic powers of play model may be integrated into nursing care to provide the important linkage between theory and practice. A list of the twenty core agents of change in four domains, namely that play facilitates communication; fosters emotional wellness; increases personal strengths and enhances social relationships (Schaefer & Drewes, 2011) will be presented. Chapter 3. Caring for children, families and health care professionals Kerry Reid-Searl k.reid-searl@cqu.edu.au This chapter will provide an overview of the role of caring in nursing and allied health as the philosophical basis for paediatric health care provision. It presents the five C’s of caring - commitment, conscience, competence, compassion, and confidence (Roach, 2002) and situates caring with and introduces the humanistic therapeutic play skills that may be adapted and used in everyday nursing practice. The play relationship is core to this practice and is discussed with reflective questions and activities. This chapter also includes caring for self as well as others. Chapter 4. Assessing the sick or vulnerable child Belinda Dean and Judi Parson belinda.dean@deakin.edu.au Nurses are required to undertake paediatric physical assessments, which may seem strange to the child and therefore this chapter introduces some playful but practical ways to examine the child from head to toe. Nurses may also be responsible for assessing the child’s development, psychosocial and mental health of the child where the same or similar approaches may be integrated. This chapter incorporates the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child to frame the vulnerable child in health care settings. Reflective practice questions are used to guide discussion points. Chapter 5. Attachment in the health care setting Natalie Hadiprodjo natalie.hadiprodjo@deakin.edu.au This chapter will provide an introduction and overview of attachment theory in simple terms and how an understanding of the wider family system may inform paediatric health care provision. It will provide an overview of the Dynamic Maturational Model of Attachment and Adaptation (DMM) developed by Patricia Crittenden and how various strategies of attachment (i.e. ways of being with others to get our needs met) develop across the lifespan. The chapter will include reflective activities that encourage the health care professional to reflect on their own strategy of attachment and how this may inform the way that they respond to the children and families they care for. It will also examine how parent strategies of attachment may impact on how they respond and care for their own child within a health care setting, and how a child’s strategy of attachment may impact on how they respond to medical intervention. It will also explore how chronic, repeated medical intervention may also play a role in shaping a child’s strategy of attachment. The chapter will explore ways that health care professionals can maintain parents as partners and support positive attachments and playful interactions between parents and children.
