The Soul of Psychotherapy: Recapturing the Spiritual
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Cornett, Carlton, PUBLISHER: Free Press, Mental health professionals often struggle to understand spirituality and the role it plays in their clients' lives. Many therapists would like to take spiritual issues into account, and to incorporate them, as they do with other areas of patients' lives, into their overall approach, but feel they lack the training or competency to do so effectively. In this concise, thoughtful, and practical book, clinician Carlton Cornett describes how to integrate the issues of spirituality into everyday practice. Cornett addresses the needs of therapists and counselors who treat both clients committed to their religious beliefs, and those who initially might not identify spirituality as an area of struggle, but for whom spiritual issues are real, yet hidden, sources of distress. He shows therapists how to open the door to the spiritual dimension in their work through cases from his practice, and demonstrates the impact and relevance of religion and spirituality on the clinical process.

Family Support for the Elderly: The International Experience
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kendig, Hal / Hashimoto, Akiko / Coppard, Larry C., PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, The size of the world's elderly population continues to increase and alternative ways of providing support are continually being sought. This support depends in large measure on families and other informal care-givers complementing the health and social services. In , the World Assembly on Aging directed international attention to the primary role of the family in supporting the elderly, while highlighting the lack of information on aging and families, particularly in developing countries. Initiated by the World Health Organization's Global Program for Health of the ELderly, this book provides an introduction to the understanding of aging and family relations. The chapters are designed to heighten appreciation of the cultural diversity of aging, and to contribute to the improvement of policies and programs aimed at enhancing the well-being of the world's increasing numbers of elderly people.

Earth's Mind: Essays in Native Literature
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dunsmore, Roger / Edrington / Curtus, PUBLISHER: University of New Mexico Press, These thirteen essays reflect Dunsmore's broad experience as a poet, student of native literature, and teacher. They take their inspiration from Chief Joseph's statement that "the Earth and myself are of one mind," and go on to consider Black Elk; the work of D'Arcy McNickle, Simon Ortiz, and Laurens van der Post; Salish stories; and Pueblo sacred clowns. The idea that mind is something larger and more pervasive in nature than the Western tradition has usually considered suggests respect as central to survival and conveys the essential wildness of mind. "Earth's Mind" will be useful to those who study or teach native literature or who simply want to understand better native world views. "The most original and evocative study of Native American literary accomplishments, and their sources, it has been my pleasure to read in several years."--Karl Kroeber, Mellon Professor in the Humanities, Columbia University

The approach has transformed the way in which health services are financed and delivered. Arising from this experience, techniques such as utilization management, physician profiling and disease management are attracting attention worldwide.

Yalta : Europe and America at the Crossroads
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Harbutt, Fraser J., PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, This revisionist study of Allied diplomacy from to challenges Americocentric views of the period and highlights Europe's neglected role. Fraser J. Harbutt, drawing on international sources, shows that in planning for the future Churchill, Roosevelt, Stalin, and others self-consciously operated into , not on "East/West" lines but within a "Europe/America" political framework characterized by the plausible prospect of Anglo-Russian collaboration and persisting American detachment. Harbutt then explains the destabilizing transformation around the time of the pivotal Yalta conference of February , when a sudden series of provocative initiatives, manipulations, and miscues interacted with events to produce the breakdown of European solidarity and the Anglo-Soviet nexus, an evolving Anglo-American alignment, and new tensions that led finally to the Cold War. This fresh perspective, stressing structural, geopolitical, and traditional impulses and constraints, raises important new questions about the enduringly controversial transition from World War II to a cold war that no statesman wanted.
Socioemotional Development and Health from Adolescence to
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Pulkkinen, Lea / Kaprio, Jaakko / Rose, Richard, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, This book is based on two longitudinal studies of behavior development, both conducted in Finland, a living laboratory setting for longitudinal research. Much of the book reports results from a longitudinal study begun in Jyvaskyla, Finland, in , when its participants were school children. This longitudinal study is complemented by two Finnish twin-family studies, with parallel measures and overlapping aims, to yield insights into genetic and environmental sources of variation in early development and later outcomes. An array of findings from the two sets of longitudinal studies are presented, set within a theoretical framework of socioemotional development, and focused on both individual and familial predictors of health-related outcomes from childhood to early adulthood. Many contributors to this edited volume represent a second-tier of Finnish-USA collaborators. They analyzed data from the longitudinal studies as part of their advanced training, and their contributions to the book report recent results of such analyses.

Green Households: Domestic Consumers, the Environment and
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Noorman, Klaas J. / Uiterkamp, Ton S., PUBLISHER: Earthscan Publications, Households are one of the main sources of waste and of other environmental impacts. Yet most attention to date has focused on the effects of business and industry, rather than on domestic consumption of goods, energy and resources and their resulting outputs.Green Households? is the first book to concentrate on this vital but neglected sector. Drawing on empirical research largely from The Netherlands, it takes households as consumer units and examines the entire household metabolism. This includes the way domestic demand can influence where and how goods and services are produced, resource flows through households, and the differential environmental impacts of different lifestyles.It shows both what would constitute sustainable domestic consumption and how far there is to go to achieve this in industrialised and affluent Western society. Those involved in planning and policy as it affects households and urban development, as well as students and researchers in social science and environmental studies will find it an invaluable source of information.
The Weekend That Changed Wall Street: An Eyewitness Account
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bartiromo, Maria / Whitney, Catherine, PUBLISHER: Portfolio, A first-person account of the white-knuckle weekend that brought the financial world to its knees and changed Wall Street forever, from America's most famous business reporter. During a single historic weekend (September ) the fate of Lehman Brothers was sealed, Merrill Lynch barely survived, AIG became a ward of the federal government, and the roots of our seemingly strong economy teetered on the edge of collapse. As bankers and government officials scrambled to keep the economy from total collapse, and Americans tried to make sense of it all, top CNBC anchor Maria Bartiromo spent the entire weekend taking frantic phone calls from the most powerful players on Wall Street and in Washington. Those CEOs, politicians, and dozens of other sources gave Bartiromo behind-the- scenes details on the crisis and its aftermath, the personalities involved, and the emotions at work during one of the most stressful periods in American economic history. Now she draws on her high-level network to provide an eyewitness account of the biggest events of the financial crisis, including exclusive interviews with former treasury secretary Henry Paulson, former AIG chairman Hank Greenberg, former Merrill Lynch CEO John Thain, and former Bear Stearns chairman Ace Greenberg, among many others. Her sources candidly divulged personal and unreported information. For example, during a commercial break on her show, Paulson, who had been explaining the government bailout package, told her, "In six months, you will understand why we did what we did." It wasn't apparent then, but months later it was revealed that the government's secrecy regarding who got the bailout money was intended to hide the shocking financial condition of Citigroup-the largest bank in the world. Writing with both authority and dramatic flair, Bartiromo not only weaves a thrilling and fresh account of the events of that fateful weekend but provides a unique analysis of the crisis and its aftermath She shows how decades of unbridled risk taking led to one of the biggest and most dramatic economic meltdowns in history and tackles the big questions: is any company too big to fail-and if so should it be? Should the government spend taxpayer dollars to bail out companies whose plights are largely the result of their own mismanagement? And finally, what have we learned from this crisis? Will we return to business as usual or has Wall Street really changed?
Latin American Economic Outlook : Transforming the State
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: OECD Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development / Oecd Publishing, PUBLISHER: Organization for Economic Cooperation & Devel, Latin American and Caribbean economies performed relatively robustly in the financial crisis. The authors of this overview urge these states to now focus their attentionon long-term development goals. Latin America must design and implement good public policies to achieve the region's objective of economic growth and structural change that is rapid, sustainable, and inclusive. In particular, governments must reduce income inequalities and public service delivery, as well as promote the diversification of economies, often concentrated on a few primary-product exports. But the real change, according to this volume, will come if Latin American and Caribbean countries carry out meaningful fiscal reforms. The book demonstrates how the increased effectiveness and efficiencies fromimproved fiscal policies could provide the resources needed to address the key challenges of economic development. It also recommends three priority areas --education, infrastructure, and innovation --for investing additional resources with thepotential to raise competitiveness and social inclusion.

Roboz: A Painter's Paradox
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Taylor, John Russell, PUBLISHER: David Messum, Zsuszi Roboz the person is a unique mixture of British and exotic; Zsuzsi Roboz the artist is a unique mixture of Classical and Romantic. Though she was born and raised in Hungary, a dramatic series of events brought her to Britain in her teens, and all her subsequent life has been spent there. Her art is in once sense intensely Romantic, concerned with the mysterious and magical life of the imagination. But it is all founded on a finely disciplined grasp of classic draughtsmanship, acquired from the best sources: she was one of Annigoni's favourite pupils. This book tells her story, its agonies and ecstasies, and traces the roots of her passionate art. Along the way she has known and portrayed many extraordinary men and women, especially those - the musicians, the dancers, the actors, the painters, the girls of the Windmill - who have been one way and another connected with the arts. Her portrait drawings range from Spanish gypsies and Croatian peasants to aristocratic grandees and the great beaut

Comrades and Christians: Religions and Political Struggle in
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kertzer, David I. / Kertzer, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, This book examines the popular bases of Communist influence in Italy, focusing on the struggle between the Catholic Church and the Communist Party for the allegiance of the Italian people. The author details the ways in which the citizens resolve the central paradox of Italy, which lies in its beings the home both of the Vatican and of the largest Communist party of any non-Communist nation. He discusses the local structure of the Party, including its many allied organisations and the nature of participation in Party affairs, and stresses its role in local social life. In this study, Professor Kertzer draws upon the experiences and observations of a year spent in a working-class quarter of Bologna, the capital of Italian Communism. While the national Communist Party calls for conciliation with the Church, there is an ancient tradition of anti-clericalism in this area. Moreover, the official Church position excludes the possibility of people being both Catholic and Communist. The implications of this situation for local-level tactics of Church and Party, and how people divide their allegiances between the competing claims, form the primary theme of the book.
