The Divided Mind: The Epidemic of Mindbody Disorders
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Sarno, John E., PUBLISHER: ReganBooks, The book that will change the way we think about health and illness, by the #1 "New York Times" bestselling author of "Healing Back Pain" "The Divided Mind" is the crowning achievement of Dr. John E. Sarno's long and successful career as a groundbreaking medical pioneer. While his earlier books dealt almost exclusively with the common, virtually universal musculoskeletal pain disorders affecting the back, neck, and shoulders as well as various locations in the arms and legs, in "The Divided Mind," Dr. Sarno goes beyond pain and addresses the entire spectrum of psychosomatic (mindbody) disorders. These include common stomach and bowel conditions (e.g., gastric reflux, irritable bowel syndrome), allergies, skin disorders, genitourinary conditions, headaches, and many more. In Dr. Sarno's view, the crucial interaction between the generally reasonable, rational, ethical, and moral conscious mind and the repressed feelings of emotional pain, hurt, sadness, and anger characteristic of the unconscious mind appears to be the basis for mindbody disorders. "The Divided Mind" traces the history of psychosomatic medicine, including Freud's crucial role as well as his failures. Most important, it describes the psychology of the human condition that is responsible for the broad range of psychosomatic illness. Dr. Sarno believes that the failure of medicine's practitioners to recognize and appropriately treat mindbody disorders has produced public health and economic problems of major proportions in the United States. One of the most interesting and important aspects of psychosomatic phenomena is the fact that knowledge and awareness of the process clearly have healing powers. Thousands of people have become pain-free simply by reading "Healing Back Pain" or "The Mindbody Prescription," Dr. Sarno's previous books. How and why this happens is a fascinating story, and one that is sure to be repeated as readers experience "The Divided Mind."

Research on Social Work and Disasters
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Streeter, Calvin / Murty, Susan A., PUBLISHER: Routledge, Over the past decade, several major natural disasters have had devastating impacts throughout the United States and the world. Since larger populations now live and work on land vulnerable to various hazards, natural disasters can be expected to affect more people each year. As a result, the social work profession soon will be stretched to its limits as it attempts to respond to growing human needs in the wake of hurricanes, tornadoes, storms, floods, earthquakes, and human-made technological disasters. Research on Social Work and Disasters provides the essential strategies social work researchers, other social scientists in the area of disaster research, and emergency management personnel need to prepare for and recover from all forms of disaster.Focusing on hazard, risk, and disaster research, this book presents conceptual approaches and empirical findings in this emerging and important area of social work. It includes research on natural and technological disasters as they impact both rural and urban environments. Research on Social Work and Disasters offers conceptual and methodological guidelines for social work researchers and provides insight into the range of opportunities and issues relevant for disaster research. Specific topics you will learn about include: research design, methodology, and measurement community awareness and activism traumatic stress and stress debriefing funding and ethical issues vulnerable populations hazard education action researchResearch on Social Work and Disasters not only addresses effective strategies for responding in the aftermath of particular disasters, but also suggests significant ways in which the social work profession can become involved in prevention, mitigation, and preparedness activities. The book features examples of recent research on disasters chosen to illustrate a variety of types of disasters, theoretical approaches, methodologies, and levels of analysis. The implications drawn from this book are consistent in suggesting the responsibility of society to care for vulnerable populations and to share the burdens caused by catastrophic events.
Integrated Ego Psychology: Second Edition
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Polansky, Norman A., PUBLISHER: Aldine, Ego psychology is the aspect of psychoanalytic theory concerned with how people adapt to the demands and possibilities of their worlds in accordance with their inner requirements. All substantial theories of personality refer to adaptation, but there are several features special to ego psychology. It offers by far the most elaborate picture of the adaptive apparatus and of the varied devices humans have for negotiating among their drives and their life situations. More than any other theory of psychology, it emphasizes the complicated transactions that go on in peopleas minds, of which many are outside conscious awareness. Norman A. Polansky argues that we must be disciplined enough to commit ourselves to one consistent line of theory if we are to harness reasoning to go beyond what we can directly observe. Few who are, or aspire to be, caseworkers, therapists or counselors come to this book innocent of all the ideas contained herein. Much will seem familiar from previous training and from experiences with people. Moreover, many Freudian terms have been adopted into the working vocabularies of all educated people. Words like instinctual drive, defense mechanism, anxiety, guilt, conflict, unconscious, and the like, are used all the time in estimating each other. One task of Integrated Ego Psychology is defining such terms with precise meanings, as well as showing the logical connections among them. Psychoanalytic theory has envolved for about a century, and some "grand simplicities" have finally emerged. This book, for practitioners, indicates the need for a theory to guide work if we are to help people effectively. The theory must be elaborate enough to cover a very wide range of human activity and it must meet certain other standards as well.
Information Security Management, Education and Privacy
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Deswarte, Yves / Cuppens, Fridiric / Jajodia, Sushil, PUBLISHER: Springer, This volume contains the papers presented at three workshops embedded in the 19th IFIP International Conference on Information Security (SEC), which was sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and held in August as a co-located conference of the 18th IFIP World Computer Congress in Toulouse, France. The first workshop was organized by IFIP Working Group 11.1, which is itself dedicated to Information Security Management, i.e., not only to the practical implementation of new security technology issued from recent research and development, but also and mostly to the improvement of security practice in all organizations, from multinational corporations to small enterprises. Methods and techniques are developed to increase personal awareness and education in security, analyze and manage risks, identify security policies, evaluate and certify products, processes and systems. The second workshop was organized by IFIP Working Group 11.8, dedicated to Information Security Education. This year, the workshop was aimed at developing a first draft of an international doctorate program allowing a specialization in IT Security. The draft is based upon selected papers from individuals or groups (from academic, military and government organizations), and discussions at the workshop. This draft will be further refined and eventually published as an IFIP Report. Finally, the last workshop was organized by IFIP Working Group 11.4 on Network Security. The purpose of the workshop was to bring together privacy and anonymity experts from around the world to discuss recent advances and new perspectives on these topics that are increasingly important aspectsin electronic services, especially in advanced distributed applications, such as m-commerce, agent-based systems, P2P, etc. The carefully selected papers gathered in this volume show the richness of the information security domain, as well as the liveliness of the working groups cooperating in the IFIP Technical Committee 11 on Security and Protection in Information Processing Systems. Information Security Management, Education and Privacy is essential reading for scholars, researchers, and practitioners interested in keeping pace with the ever-growing field of information security.

Brainworks: The Mind-Bending Science of How You See, What
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Sweeney, Michael S. / Copperfield, David, PUBLISHER: National Geographic Society, Admit it. When you hear "neuroscience," you expect something abstract and remote, very complex, of little practical use. But this time? It's personal. National Geographic "Into" "Your Brain "makes YOU the test subject of an array of astonishing experiments. Your brain is going to be stimulated, fooled, and ultimately amazed, as scientists and other experts show you how this three-pound blob of gray matter makes you, you. Rather than simply displaying a collection of puzzlers or stating what happens during an illusion, this captivating book guides you to experience visual tricks firsthand and then explains your brain's reaction in clear, user-friendly language--giving every reader a strong personal interest in finding out why his or her mind acts the way it does. The companion to a highly anticipated, three-part series airing on the National Geographic Channel in Spring , this book will definitely mess with your head--to entertain you and show you the very cool complexities of how your brain does its job. In three sections--Sights, Sounds, and Memories--you'll see for yourself why visual illusions hoodwink the brain. You'll hear how sounds can provoke strong emotions and understand your brain's response to them. And you'll think of events that may not have actually happened, in order to learn how the mind can create a false memory. " " "Into Your Brain "brings together a crack team of scientists and researchers from a wide range of fields, including neurology, psychology, chemistry, audiology, and ophthalmology. Best-selling author Oliver Sachs, awareness expert Dan Simons, and memory expert Elizabeth Loftus are just a few of the notables who lend their considerable brainpower to this unprecedented project. The book also draws on the know-how of those who traffic in brain tricks--illusionists like Penn & Teller, artists like color expert Beau Lotto, and sound designers like Julian Treasure--to bring each mind-bending illusion to life. Smart, engaging, exciting, and deeply worthwhile, "Into Your Brain "pulls you in, manipulates your mind, and leaves you with a better understanding--as well as a richer appreciation--of the marvels that go on up there in the old noggin.
Moral Courage
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kidder, Rushworth M., PUBLISHER: William Morrow & Company, Why did a group of teenagers watch a friend die instead of putting their own reputations at risk? Why did a top White House official decide to come clean and accept a prison sentence during Watergate? Why did a finance executive turn down millions out of respect for her employer? Why are some willing to risk their futures to uphold principles? What gives us the strength to stand up for what we believe? As these questions suggest, the topic of moral courage is front and center in today's culture. Enron, Arthur Andersen, the U.S. Olympic Committee, abusive priests, cheating students, domestic violence -- all these remind us that taking ethical stands should be a higher priority in our culture. Why, when people discern wrongdoing, are they sometimes unready, unable, or unwilling to act? In a book rich with examples, Rushworth Kidder reveals that moral courage is the bridge between talking ethics and doing ethics. Defining it as a readiness to endure danger for the sake of principle, he explains that the courage to act is found at the intersection of three elements: action based on core values, awareness of the risks, and a willingness to endure necessary hardship. By exploring how moral courage spurs us to strive for core values, he demonstrates the benefits of ethical action to the individual and to society -- and the severe consequences that can result from remaining morally dormant. Moral Courage puts indispensable concepts and tools into our hands, equipping us to respond to the increasingly complicated moral challenges we face at work, at home, and in our communities. It enables us to make clear, confident decisions by exploring some litmus-test questions: Is the benefitworth the risk? Am I motivated by my desire to uphold my beliefs or just to impose them on others? Will my actions create collateral damage among those with no stake in the outcome? While physical courage may no longer be a necessary survival skill or an essential rite of passage out of childhood, few would dispute the growing need for moral courage as the true gauge of maturity. Treating this subject not as an esoteric branch of philosophy but as a practical necessity for modern life, Kidder deftly leads us to a clear understanding of what moral courage is, what it does, and how to get it.
