Book SynopsisRenowned scholar David VanDrunen tracks the historical and biblical roots of the idea that all glory belongs exclusively to God. God''s Glory Alone is a beautiful reflection on how commitment to God''s glory alone fortifies us to live godly lives in this present age.Reinvigorating one of the five great declarations of the Reformation—soli Deo gloria—VanDrunen: Examines the development of this theme in the Reformation, in subsequent Reformed theology and confessions, and in contemporary theologians who continue to be inspired by the conviction that all glory belongs to God. Turns to the biblical story of God''s glory, beginning with the pillar of cloud and fire revealed to Israel, continuing through the incarnation, death, and exaltation of the Lord Jesus Christ, and culminating in Christ''s Second Coming and the glorification of his people. Addresses several of today''s great cultural challenges and temTable of ContentsEach volume will be structured into three parts and will be approximately 70,000-80,000 words in length. 1. Sola______ in historical perspective. Part 1 of each volume seeks to take the reader back to the sixteenth century, providing the reader with the historical background to the sola in focus. 2. Sola______ in biblical and theological perspective. Part 2 moves from the historical to the biblical, seeking to defend the sola in focus both biblically and theologically. 3. Sola______ in light of contemporary challenges. Part 3 addresses new challenges to the sola in focus. The purpose of this final section is not merely to answer contemporary challenges, but to show the relevancy of Reformation theology today.

Book SynopsisTherapeutic Approaches for Babies and Young Children in Care: Observation and Attention is about the value of observation and close attention for babies and young children who may be vulnerable to psychological and attachment difficulties. Case studies explore the potential for observation-based therapeutic approaches to support caregivers, social workers, and professional networks. A third theme in the book is the roots of observation-based approaches in psychoanalytic infant observation and the contribution of these ways of working to professional training and continuing development.Using case examples, Jenifer Wakelyn illustrates observational ways of working that can be practised by professionals and family members to help children express themselves and feel understood. The interventions focus on the early stages of life in care and on the "golden thread" of relationships with caregivers. The book explores contemporary neuroscience and child development research alongside psychoanalytic theory to explore the role of attention in helping children to develop the internal continuity that sustains the personality and protects against the fragmenting impact of trauma. Therapeutic Approaches for Babies and Young Children in Care is written for social workers, teachers, medical staff, and other professionals whose work brings them in contact with the youngest children in care; it will also be relevant for commissioners, managers, and trainers as well as mental health clinicians who are starting to work with children in care. It will provide a valuable insight into the lives of infants and young children in the care system and the applications of psychoanalytic infant observation.Trade Review"The experience of reading this book will be therapeutic for many professionals who may feel daunted and overwhelmed by trying to help children whose lives have been severely disrupted and who have lost trust that they will ever be genuinely ‘seen’."–from the Foreword by Dilys Daws, Honorary Consultant Child Psychotherapist, Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust; founder member, Association of Infant Mental Health, UK; co-author of Finding Your Way with Your Baby: The Emotional Life of Parents and Babies (Routledge)"In this profoundly important book, Jenifer Wakelyn and her colleagues sensitively and skilfully offer acute insights into the lived experiences of babies and young children in care and their caregivers.

Book SynopsisPsychosis, an invasion of mind and body from without, creates an enigma about what is happening and thrusts the individual into radical isolation. What are the subjective details of such experiences? This book explores psychosis as knowledge cut off from history, truth that cannot be articulated in any other form. Delusion is a new language made of 'incandescent alphabets' that the psychotic adopts from imposed voices. The psychotic uses language in a singular way to found and explain a strange experience that he or she cannot exit. Through the exegesis of language in psychosis based on first person accounts, the book orients readers to an enigmatic Other, pervasive and inescapable, that will come to inhabit every aspect of the psychotic's being, thought and bodily experience. The book deploys a poetics as a form of inquiry to give a nuanced picture of delusion as a repair of language itself, following Freud and Lacan-in historic and contemporary forms of psychotic art, writing and speech. Drawing on the author's own experience of psychosis and psychoanalysis, as well as conversations with analyst colleagues, Dr Rogers offers ways to listen to language in delusion, and argues for the promise of a modified psychoanalytic treatment with psychosis.Trade Review'This extraordinary book about psychosis as an encounter and relationship with language draws the reader in through a narrative that shows us how lacking mainstream psychiatric and psychoanalytic diagnostic categories are. Incandescent Alphabets is an amazing conceptual and poetic alternative that makes of the experience of psychosis an illuminated manuscript from which readers learn about the author, the people she works with, and about themselves.'- Ian Parker, psychoanalyst and author of Psychology after Psychoanalysis: Psychosocial Studies and Beyond'This is a wonderfully written book with a wealth of clinical, literary, and artistic first-person accounts of psychosis that lead the author to an exploration of the meaning and structure of psychosis as a significantly human form of subjectivity.'- Raul Moncayo, psychoanalyst, the Lacanian School of Psychoanalysis of the San Francisco Bay Area, and author of The Signifier Pointing at the Moon: Psychoanalysis and Zen Buddhism'This prism-like account of psychosis filters first-hand accounts of psychotic experience through the lens of Lacanian psychoanalysis and produces one of the most readable and important texts of our generation. Annie Rogers depathologises psychosis by showing that it is not a deficit or a failure but is a different relationship to language, the body and the social world. Her deeply personal and humanising account shows that it is our fears, inexperience and unwillingness to collaborate together that erect barriers to living and working with the myriad vicissitudes and possibilities of psychosis.'- Eve Watson, PhD, psychoanalyst, Dublin'This exciting compendium is an ABC of psychosis, from Artaud to Yessir. Her gallery of portraits includes self-taught or outsider artists as well as recognisable figures like Joyce, Walser, and Woolf. Skilfully blending research, insight, stories, literary and visual arts examples, Rogers offers a compelling, empathetic narrative. This engrossing book, beautifully written, is not only an illuminating read, but also a poetic meditation on the variegated forms taken by madness.'- Patricia Gherovici, psychoanalyst, author, and co-editor of Lacan on Madness: Madness, Yes You Can'tTable of ContentsNote to readers -- Encounters with a ghastly, enigmatic Other -- Psychosis: what is it, this strangenss? -- Hallucinated bodies: art and its alphabets in psychosis -- Infinite code: clocks, calendars, numbers, music, scripts -- After the disaster: six sketches and a short play -- Beyond psychosis: returning, remaining traces -- Psychosis and the address: new alphabets and the enigmatic Other -- Psychoanalysis remade: a way through psychosis

Book SynopsisAs the series title implies each Clinician’s Desk Reference is a practical resource and a daily aid for physicians in the hospital setting and in primary care.Asthma is one of the most important chronic disorders in the developed world. Evidence from around the world shows the prevalence of asthma has increased considerably since 1975, and now affects around 7.2% of the world population (about 100 million individuals). In the UK asthma is now the most common chronic disease affecting all age groups with approximately 11% of the population being diagnosed as having asthma at some time in their lives.Understanding of the basic mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of asthma has improved dramatically over the past 20 years. Along with this increase in basic scientific knowledge, randomized clinical trials have produced evidence to guide clinicians in how to manage patients with asthma.The book covers epidemiology, diagnosis and management, and takes a look at future developments. The authors highlight the under diagnosis of occupational asthma and emphasize the importance of effective patient education, particularly asthma action plans. There are ten clinical cases dealing with common diagnostic and management problems, frequently asked questions and appendices containing resources for patients and clinicians including useful websites, information leaflets and major references.Trade ReviewChapters are well designed and the one on management of acute asthma in adults is extremely well done. The descriptions are thorough and complete. Clinical case examples are helpful for readers. Illustrations showing the metered-dose inhaler are useful for clinicians as well as for patients. The chapter on occupational asthma will be very helpful in day-to-day practice. The authors have written a simple guide and clinical reference for asthma. This easy to understand book will find its place on practitioners' desks. (5 stars)—K. P.

Book SynopsisDenominations from evangelical to mainline continue to experience deep divisions over universal social issues. The underlying debate isn’t about a particular social issue, but instead it is about how we understand the nature of scripture and how we should interpret it. The world’s bestselling, most-read, and most-loved book is also one of the most confusing. In Making Sense of the Bible, Adam Hamilton, one of the country’s leading pastors and Christian authors, addresses the hot-button issues that plague the church and cultural debate, and answers many of the questions frequently asked by Christians and non-Christians alike.Did God really command Moses to put gay people to death? Did Jesus really teach that everyone who is not a Christian will be assigned to hell? Why would Paul command women to “keep silent in the church?” Were Adam and Eve real people? Is the book of Revelation really about the end times? Who decided which books made it into the scriptures and why? Is the Bible ever wrong? In approachable and inviting language, Hamilton addresses these often misunderstood biblical themes leading readers to a deeper appreciation of the Bible so that we might hear God speak through it and find its words to be life-changing and life-giving.
