Book SynopsisC.S.

S. Lewis is the ideal persuader for the half-convinced, for the good man who would like to be a Christian but finds his intellect getting in the way.”—New York Times “Lewis, perhaps more than any other twentieth-century writer, forced those who listened to him and read his works to come to terms with their own philosophical presuppositions.”—Los Angeles Times

Book SynopsisPsychoanalytic theory influenced many facets of twentieth century culture, and shows every sign of continuing to have an impact in the new century. However, in order to sustain this influence it has to adapt to the challenges of our current intellectual environment. This book attempts to build a bridge between psychoanalysis and a dominant perspective in modern psychiatry and psychology: developmental psychopathology. This perspective studies biological, psychological and social influences that act on individuals, shaping their pathways through life. While psychoanalytic perspectives are inherently developmental, this is often left implicit. This book highlights the developmental bases for psychoanalytic ideas, and examines their assumptions and claims in relation to observational and other data gathered within neighbouring disciplines. The book reaches back to the work of Freud, and covers North American and European ideas including the Klein-Bion model, the British Object Relations tradition, the work of Kernberg and Kohut as well as modern Relational Psychoanalysts.Table of ContentsAn Introduction to This Book and to The Basic Psychoanalytic Model.

Book SynopsisThis is a stunningly well-written account of the life of a surgeon: what it is like to cut into people's bodies and the terrifying - literally life and death - decisions that have to be made.There are accounts of operations that go wrong; of doctors who go to the bad; why autopsies are necessary; what it feels like to insert your knife into someone.Trade ReviewI don't know if Atul Gawande was born to be a surgeon - I very much suspect so - but he was certainly born to write.This wise and exciting account of life as a surgical resident ... perfectly captures the wonder and fearful responsibility that come with cutting people open in the hope of making them whole again. -- Bill BrysonEver wondered how realistic ER is? Then read Gawande's superb book. The truth, you will find, is far more compelling, though the endings are never as neat ... Gawande makes the scenes far more dramatic than television ever can. He is a first-class writer. * Scotland on Sunday *Written as tautly as a thriller. * The Observer *Gawande draws you in with the story but leaves you wiser about science, about health, and even about the human condition. -- Michael Kinsley

Book SynopsisRather than simply a different version of western medical practice, acupuncture, as the author of this thoughtful and challenging book shows, is based on a different philosophy and leads down directly into the deepest areas of human experience. Based on many years as a five element practitioner, Nora Franglen explores the way in which the practice of acupuncture enlarges the experience and understanding of the practitioner. She shares, through case study and reflection, some of the larger questions and insights that emerge from a dedicated approach to this form of healing work.Her insights and astute observations will encourage acupuncturists of any style as well as other therapists to reflect on their own practices, their relationships with their patients, and their fears. They also shed further light on the expression of the five elements within us all.Trade ReviewPraise for the first edition'I suspect many Five Element practitioners will find a resonance with this book.

Book SynopsisThe Definitive Guide to Theraplay® for Practitioners, officially endorsed by the Theraplay® InstituteTheraplay is an intervention that focuses on enhancing the connection, trust and joy between a child and a parent. It involves interactive, playful activities using simple face-to-face reciprocal interactions, and involves using all of the senses, including rhythm, movement and touch. This comprehensive guide outlines the theory, reflection, and skill development of the practitioner - the true power house of Theraplay. By maintaining a focus on practice throughout, embedding theory into practice examples, it brings the spirit of Theraplay to life. Part 1 covers the key principles of the intervention; Part 2 addresses Theraplay in Practice: how to use the Marschak Interaction Method (MIM), how to set up a room and choose activities and considerations for working with different client groups; Part 3 encourages the reader to engage in their own development and the stages involved; and Parts 4 and 5 provide a wealth of useful resources, checklists, handouts, sample sessions and an up-to-date list of Theraplay activities. Whether you are a Theraplay practitioner, or simply want to find out how this remarkable intervention works, this book is essential reading.Trade ReviewAnyone interested in Theraplay® will know how difficult it is to find Theraplay® Institute approved information and activities. It can also be a challenge for people who use Theraplay® within their wider practice to get appropriate supervision for the Theraplay aspects of their work. In both areas Norris and Lender's book is an invaluable resource.It is a book packed full of reflection, imagination, problem solving and trouble shooting. The case studies are particularly helpful; they feel real, with honest acknowledgement by the therapists of their own countertransference, defences and complex feelings. They also highlight without any blame or shame how difficult it is for some children and parents to adapt to news ways of relating... I have no doubt that this will be the Theraplay® bible for years to come. * Cairnsmoir Connections *Theraplay is a terrific treatment for disorganized and traumatized kids. This book is highly recommended for all clinicians , teachers and other human beings trying to help children function and thrive! -- Bessel van der Kolk, M.D. Author of The Body Keeps the ScoreI have found the Theraplay approach to healing distressed children to be at the leading edge of humanistic, experiential and evidence-based treatments. What this clear volume offers are step-by-step precise protocols for assessment and treatment using this vital method. Various activities and exercises are simply described and can be applied to many therapeutic situations. The book is a rich contribution, not only for practitioners of Theraplay, but is truly a gift to all clinicians working to alleviate the suffering of troubled children. -- Peter A Levine, PhD, Author (with Maggie Kline) of: Trauma through the Eyes of a Childs Eyes; Awakening the Ordinary Miracle of Healing, and Trauma-Proofing your Kids; A Parent’s Guide for Instilling Confidence Joy and ResilienceIn Theraplay: The Practitioner's Guide, Vivien Norris and Dafna Lender skillfully and comprehensively explain the essential principles of Theraplay. Theraplay is an efficient mode of therapy for children that seamlessly incorporates within a play environment several elements that are shared with models of psychotherapy. In the Guide, we learn about efficient exercises that are effective in enhancing the child's ability to regulate state can be delivered as games; we learn that Theraplay is rooted in developmental science (e.g., attachment theory) and is consistent with contemporary neuroscience (e.g., Polyvagal Theory). From a Polyvagal perspective Theraplay respects the biobehavior state of the child, applies therapist initiated social engagement strategies to trigger a state of safety in the child, and promotes synchronous reciprocal interactions as a neural exercise that increases social flexibility and improves emotion regulation. It is through this development of the child's ability to feel safe and secure that is key to Theraplay's efficacy and functionally illustrates the attributes of Theraplay as a model therapy for children. -- Stephen W. Porges, PhD Distinguished University Scientist Kinsey Institute Indiana University BloomingtonTherapy is a cherished gift to be shared confidently with parents. The gift is deceptively simple and at the same time provides a complex and rich foundation for establishing or deepening attachment bonds. The approach is playful, engaging, safe, and designed to create positive shared memories of warm and attuned physical and emotional experiences between parents and children. This book took my breadth away in its congruence with the Theraplay approach: It is engaging to read, it provides ample and strong structure for the Theraplay practitioner, it challenges us to weave attachment theories with unique responses to clients, and it nurtures and encourages practitioners to provide the best possible assistance they can. Vivien Norris and Dafna Lenders' expertise shines through as they provide a "virtual supervisor" type of guidance to the reader, answering many of the questions that we practitioners have as we negotiate our daily practices. Not only is this book a remarkable addition to the literature on Theraplay, it also succeeds in integrating current neuroscience and research to further guide and strengthen interactive clinical nuances. I will be reading this book multiple times because there are layers of important information to guide us in our work. I am left speechless with gratitude. It's been many years since I've been so enlightened and re-energized by a book with such heart and substance!! -- Eliana Gil, Ph.D. Gil Institute for Trauma Recovery and EducationTable of ContentsAcknowledgements; Foreword; Part One INTRODUCTION; 1.

Book SynopsisIn The Holy Spirit and Christian Experience, Simeon Zahl presents a fresh vision for Christian theology that foregrounds the relationship between theological ideas and the experiences of Christians. He argues that theology is always operating in a vibrant landscape of feeling and desiring, and shows that contemporary theology has often operated in problematic isolation from these experiential dynamics. He then argues that a theologically serious doctrine of the Holy Spirit not only authorizes but requires attention to Christian experience.Against this background, Zahl outlines a new methodological approach to Christian theology that attends to the emotional and experiential power of theological ideas. This methodology draws on recent interdisciplinary work on affect and emotion, which has shown that affects are powerful motivating realities that saturate all dimensions of human thinking and acting. In the process, Zahl also explains why contemporary theology has often been ambivalent about subjective experience, and demonstrates that current discourse about God''s activity in the world is often artificially abstracted from experience and embodiment.At the heart of the book, Zahl proposes a new account of the theology of grace from this experiential and pneumatological perspective. Focusing on the work of the Holy Spirit in salvation and sanctification, he retrieves insights from Augustine, Luther, and Philip Melanchthon to present an affective and Augustinian vision of salvation as a pedagogy of desire. In articulating this vision, Zahl engages critically with recent emphasis on participation and theosis in Christian soteriology, and charts a new path forward for Protestant theology in a landscape hitherto dominated by the theological visions of Barth and Aquinas.Trade ReviewZahl's argument is compelling, clear, and insightful. If nothing else, this book carves out an important place for experience in theology and refuses to accept theological accounts that skirt real pastoral issues with vague language. In this, Zahl's book should be a model for future theologians, particularly as theologians begin seeking to bridge the gap between academic and pastoral theology. * Michael Riggins, Ad Fontes *Zahl has written a stimulating monograph encouraging us to experience, to feel, and desire the graciousness of God "in an affective and pneumatological key." * Christopher Holmes, The Living Church *If Zahl's integration holds, this book will prove to be a milestone, one that can help usher Pentecostal theology into the mainstream of academic theological reflection. It is a book that deserves to be read by all Protestant theologians, including all Pentecostals. * Steven Edward Harris, Pneuma *Zahl has written a fresh and inventive book. Its focus upon emotion and desire settles it nicely within contemporary efforts in systematic theology to take embodiment seriously. Nevertheless, Zahl remains informed by historic claims familiar to Christian theology. Its innovation lies in its ability to say something new by saying something old ... It is a rare occasion when a book reminds one of why one loves theology (and here the choice of words is deliberate). Simeon Zahl's The Holy Spirit and Christian Experience is that kind of book. * Fellipe do Vale, Journal of Reformed Theology *This is a well-argued book, wide in its engagements, generous in its challenges and savvy in its constructive efforts. * Calvin Lane, Scottish Journal of Theology *Recommended. * P.K. Moser, Loyola University Chicago, CHOICE *

Book SynopsisCommunication in anaesthesia, pain management, and intensive care can have profound impacts on patients and healthcare colleagues. Good communication can result in better patient outcomes and experiences of the hospital setting, whereas poor communication is frequently at the heart of adverse incidents, complaints, and litigation.This handbook outlines two model frameworks to improve communication: one to give structure to an interaction and one that explores language structures and the layers of meaning to our words. The frameworks are essential tools for communicating with children, obstetric patients, and those with needle phobia. A practical guide, the book is packed with useful tips to enhance interactions with both patients and colleagues. Numerous examples and vignettes clearly demonstrate ideas that will improve patient care, safety, and bring out the best in everyone around. Fully updated with new clinical guidelines and literature, the second edition includes new chapters on how to talk to patients in pain, featuring motivational interviewing techniques, and on social media. Increased coverage of managing challenging situations, includes communicating with distressed relatives, dealing with complaints, and working with interpreters. The contributors and editors are senior clinicians from North America, Europe, and Australasia, working at the coalface of perioperative and critical care. Blending theory, science, and practicality, this book complements resources for communication skills teaching in anaesthesia and other related professional groups.

Book Synopsis''A spiritual masterpiece' Richard Rohr, OFMA magnificent, moving spiritual journey' Amy-Jill Levine''Genius'' Mary KarrThe bestselling author of The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything and Learning to Pray on one of the most intriguing events in the New Testament.''This remarkable testimony demonstrates the power of a single Gospel story. This is soul-nourishing and highly recommended'' Ben Witherington III, author of A Week in the Life of CorinthIn this wise and thoughtful book, Father James Martin, SJ, analyses the miracle of Lazarus's resurrection and asks us to consider what Jesus means when he calls Lazarus and each of us to ''come forth''. Taking us through the Gospel story verse by verse, he offers deep reflection on the lessons it holds about love, family, sadness, frustration, fear, anger, freedom and joy.Come Forth combines compelling analysis of the biblical text, insights about the historical setting of the story, meditations on Lazarus in art and the larger culture, as well as stories of Martin's personal experiences. As he explores these strands in-depth, Martin offers us a deeper understanding of this miracle and its essential message letting go of the limiting beliefs that prevent us from experiencing God in all His glory.''All of us have things that we need to let die in order to follow God more freely, to love more deeply, and to become the people whom God desires us to be,'' Martin writes. As this wise and profound book reveals, we need only to open ourselves to the transformative story of Lazarus and trust that God can use it to free us to experience new life and come closer to Him.

Book SynopsisWhy can''t we talk about antisemitism? ''I cannot wait for Off-White to be read, debated and put into practice.'' Naomi Klein, author of Doppelganger As claims of antisemitism continue to distort our politics at home and abroad, it has become almost impossible to talk about constructively, even in private. Instead, we find ourselves in a storm of misinformation, political mudslinging and bad-faith accusations. There is, however, a way to deliberate more honestly. Looking beyond our polarising headlines and interrogating the reasons racism takes hold, Off-White offers urgent analysis of one of the most divisive issues of our time.

Book SynopsisConnect to your starseed heritage and integrate cosmic powers into your life• Includes 44 full-color cards featuring intergalactic star beings and wisdom for the age of ascension • The guidebook explores each card’s message accompanied by a matching exercise • Discover your cosmic starseed family and the talents and abilities you bring to Earth Has your intuition told you that your soul originated in the stars? Have you had an encounter with star beings or aliens, or have a deep inner knowing that they are real? You are not alone, nor are you a strange or isolated case. You are part of the cosmic family of starseeds. Welcome home! With this oracle deck, you are invited to explore the wisdom of star beings from across the galaxy, including the innate spiritual gifts you have inherited through your starseed ancestors. Fourteen star families are represented on the cards, including Pleiadians, Hathors, Draconians, and Sirians, and each card shares a talent or quality from the star being shown, such as courage, empathy, beauty, wisdom, or healing power. The accompanying guidebook explores the meaning of each card and the star being shown as well as providing an affirmation and an exercise to implement the theme of the card. It explains how shamanic and indigenous cultures have long known that human life on Earth has extraterrestrial origins. For example, the ancient cultures of North and South America recognize 12 planets with human-like life in other solar systems, indigenous Hawaiians believe their ancestors came from the Pleiades, and lore in Peru and Bolivia contains accounts of a golden boat that came from the heavens. The book also describes how to use the cards to discover your original spirit family in the stars, get in touch with them telepathically, unleash the dormant power in your DNA, and protect yourself from negative aliens. Designed to bring you closer to your own star essence as well as support the personal and cosmic healing needed to assist in Earth’s ascension process, this deck enables you to learn about your intergalactic connections and remember your soul purpose as a starseed.

Book SynopsisThis guide to Integrative Medicine, based on quantum science, combines studies in consciousness, with alternative systems of healing such as Ayurveda and Yoga to produce a new science of health which sees disease as a health disorder. Required reading for health professionals and anyone looking for a deeper understanding of wellness.Inspired by the Dalai Lama to apply the integrative ideas of quantum science to practical everyday problems in people’s lives, famed physicist Amit Goswami began working in 1999 in the field of health and healing. His first task was to use the new quantum metaphysics to provide a basic science for the systems of alternative medicine and thus begin a tentative integrative medicine. This was accomplished in The Quantum Doctor, first published in 2004. What was still lacking was a unified theory of health leading to a new science of heath which would treat disease as a health disorder. Much more expertise in specifics was needed for such a project. In 2016, Goswami partnered with Valentina Onisor, MD, trained in both allopathic and most systems of alternative medicine as well including Ayurveda, yoga, naturopathy, aromatherapy, and homeopathy. This book is the culmination of their efforts to date. It is intended for both laypeople and health professionals.
