The Rediscovery of the Human

Psychological Writings of Viktor E. Frankl on the Human in the Image of Divine

By: Viktor E Frankl

Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning sold over 10 million copies and was translated into over 30 languages and was deemed by a survey of the Library of Congress one of “the ten most influential books in America”. This volume introduces and presents translations of a number of important but less well-known writings by Viktor Frankl, translated from the original German, in which he forthrightly relates psychology to religious concepts. These cast a strong, new light on the generally received understanding of Frankl’s contribution to psychology – “logotherapy” – and its relationship to the soul and universal ethics.

On the Theory and Therapy of Mental Disorders

An Introduction to Logotherapy and Existential Analysis

By: Viktor E. Frankl

This Classic Edition of On the Theory and Therapy of Mental Disorders: An Introduction to Logotherapy and Existential Analysis sees Viktor E. Frankl, bestselling author and founder of logotherapy, introduce his key theories and apply them to work with patients exhibiting symptoms of neurosis. James M. DuBois’ translation of Frankl’s Theorie und Therapie der Neurosen allows English readers to experience this essential text on logotherapy in an invigorating new light. DuBois also provides a new Preface to the book, highlighting the importance of both the original volume and Frankl’s work at large, and framing it within contemporary psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. Throughout the book, Frankl uses his unique logotherapeutic approach to analyse neuroses and their impact. He looks in turn at how neuroses may be informed by psychoses, somatic disorders, and the mental implications of being diagnosed with a physical medical condition, as well as potential psychological, spiritual, and societal causes of neuroses. Masterfully translated and thoroughly annotated, this volume brings Frankl’s trailblazing theories into the 21st century and will be of great interest to psychiatrists and psychotherapists alike.

Embracing Hope

On Freedom, Responsibility & the Meaning of Life

By: Viktor E. Frankl

A highly anticipated, rediscovered collection from Viktor Frankl, published for the first time in the United States, exploring freedom, responsibility, and how we can draw meaning from the temporary nature of our lives From the bestselling author of Man's Search for Meaning, which has sold over 18 million copies The Library of Congress lists Man’s Search for Meaning as one of the ten most influential books in history. Scientists and artists, politicians and celebrities regularly cite Frankl as one of the most important authors every person should read. Now, there is another book for his devoted fans to add to their collections. Published here for the first time in the United States, Embracing Hope continues Frankl’s enduring life’s work and provides even more lessons for those searching for meaning and purpose. It’s made up of four distinct pieces from Frankl on different themes - all uniting around the idea that we should remain open to life even when we have been subjected to appalling injustice, and even when we are faced with our own mortality and the brief nature of our lives. At a time of global suffering where so many are searching for hope and meaning, Frankl’s work seems more relevant and more important than ever. Whether you're a devoted follower of Frankl's work or a newcomer seeking to enrich your understanding of life's purpose, this book promises a captivating journey that will leave you pondering its teachings long after you've turned the final page. Just imagine what would happen, what life would look like, if there were no death. Imagine what it would be like if you could postpone anything and everything, if you could put it off for eternity. You wouldn't have to do anything today or tomorrow. Everything could just as easily be done next week, next month, next year, in a decade, in 100 or 1,000 years. Only in the face of death, only under pressure from the finiteness, the temporal limitation of human existence, is there any point in going about our business, and not only in going about our business, but in experiencing life, and not only in experiencing life but also in loving someone, and even in enduring and surviving something that is inflicted on us.

The Inner Ear

Including Otoneurology, Otosurgery, and Problems in Modern Warfare

By: Joseph Fischer,Louis E. Wolfson

The Inner Ear: Including Otoneurology, Otosurgery, and Problems in Modern Warfare covers the anatomical, physiological and the central pathways of the inner ear. This book is composed of 15 chapters that particularly consider the pathologic anatomy of the various forms of labyrinthine diseases. The first three chapters deal with the clinical anatomy and physiological features of the inner ear. The next chapter examines certain conditions that can be observed during induced and abnormal excitability of the labyrinth. These topics are followed by considerable chapters on various forms of labyrinthine diseases, including otosclerosis, inflammatory diseases, intracranial complications, congenital diseases, neoplasms, facial palsy, vascular lesions, and war trauma. A chapter evaluates the potential use of sulfa drugs in chemotherapy for inner ear cases. Another chapter surveys the role of the inner ear in the aeronautics and the functional tests for aviation fitness. The last chapter discusses the effects of atmospheric pressure changes on the ear. This book will be of value to otologists, otoneurologists, and otosurgeons.

Nonequilibrium Phonon Dynamics

Nonequilibrium Phonon Dynamics

By: Walter E. Bron

Phonons are always present in the solid state even at an absolute temperature of 0 K where zero point vibrations still abound. Moreover, phonons interact with all other excitations of the solid state and, thereby, influence most of its properties. Historically experimental information on phonon transport came from measurements of thermal conductivity. Over the past two decades much more, and much more detailed, information on phonon transport and on many of the inherent phonon interaction processes have come to light from experiments which use nonequilibrium phonons to study their dynamics. The resultant research field has most recently blossomed with the development of ever more sophisticated experimental and theoretical methods which can be applied to it. In fact, the field is moving so rapidly that new members of the research community have difficulties in keeping up to date. This NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI) was organized with the objective of overcoming the information barrier between those expert in the field and those who are new to it. Thus it was decided to (i) organize a set of tutorially based lectures covering most of the important facets in the field, and (ii) to produce an Institute proceedings which would serve both as the first general textbook, as well as a valuable reference book, for this field of knowledge.

The 149th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry Unit in the Civil War

By: Richard E. Matthews

The 149th Pennsylvania saw its one day of glory on July 1, 1863, when this young and untried regiment staged a magnificent defense at McPherson's farm. Although this bright promise quickly faded into more typical regimental experience, the story of the regiment's service under the indomitable Joshua Chamberlain remains worth telling. Drawing on the service records of more than 800 soldiers as well as diaries, letters, and other primary souces, this book details the 149th's battles from brigade to company level, from the charges at Gettsyburg to the assault at Petersburg. Focus is on the development, mood and character of a regiment as it undergoes changes in leadership, loss of reliable veterans and the increased individual desire for survival as brutal battles take their toll on mind and body. More than 100 photographs enhance the text.

Microcounseling

Making Skills Training Work in a Multicultural World

By: Thomas G. Daniels,Allen E. Ivey

Since its conception by Allen Ivey in the mid-1960s, microcounseling has grown from a methodology for teaching basic counseling skills to a conceptual framework for the multicultural intentional helper. Microcounseling has proven to be a very effective training paradigm with a wide variety of individuals from various cultures and contexts. This text presents not only the latest thinking on microcounseling but, more specifically, outlines the major theoretical constructs and concepts of the microcounseling model. These constructs and concepts are framed within the context of the culturally effective helper. The book also details the skills and dimensions of microcounseling as outlined in the Microcounseling Hierarchy, a methodological approach to the helping process. Also emphasized is microcounseling as a "technology of constructivism." This emphasis is not simply on the skills and dimensions of microcounseling but on the constructive relevance of those skills. The text also presents a current and very comprehensive review of the research on microcounseling, with over 450 studies summarized and reviewed. A wide variety of lay and professional populations have experienced microcounseling, including graduate students, counselors and psychologists, physicians, children, the elderly, and individuals with varying personal challenges. Because of this wide application of microcounseling, this most up-to-date book in the field serves as an essential resource for professionals and graduate and undergraduate students in counseling programs, as well as social workers, nurses, and physicians.

Longevity, Senescence, and the Genome

By: Caleb E. Finch

Featuring extensive references, updated for this paperback edition, Longevity, Senescence, and the Genome constitutes a landmark contribution to biomedicine and the evolutionary biology of aging. To enhance gerontology's focus on human age-related dysfunctions, Caleb E. Finch provides a comparative review of all the phyla of organisms, broadening gerontology to intersect with behavioral, developmental, evolutionary, and molecular biology. By comparing species that have different developmental and life spans, Finch proposes an original typology of senescence from rapid to gradual to negligible, and he provides the first multiphyletic calculations of mortality rate constants.

Fractional Modeling and Controller Design of Robotic Manipulators

With Hardware Validation

By: Abhaya Pal Singh,Dipankar Deb,Himanshu Agrawal,Valentina E. Balas

This book at hand is an appropriate addition to the field of fractional calculus applied to control systems. If an engineer or a researcher wishes to delve into fractional-order systems, then this book has many collections of such systems to work upon, and this book also tells the reader about how one can convert an integer-order system into an appropriate fractional-order one through an efficient and simple algorithm. If the reader further wants to explore the controller design for the fractional-order systems, then for them, this book provides a variety of controller design strategies. The use of fractional-order derivatives and integrals in control theory leads to better results than integer-order approaches and hence provides solid motivation for further development of control theory. Fractional-order models are more useful than the integer-order models when accuracy is of paramount importance. Real-time experimental validation of controller design strategies for the fractional-order plants is available. This book is beneficial to the academic institutes for postgraduate and advanced research-level that need a specific textbook on fractional control and its applications in srobotic manipulators. The book is also a valuable teaching and learning resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students.

End-of-Life Issues, Grief, and Bereavement

What Clinicians Need to Know

By: Sara Honn Qualls,Julia E. Kasl-Godley

A practical overview of clinical issues related to end-of-life care, including grief and bereavement The needs of individuals with life-limiting or terminal illness and those caring for them are well documented. However, meeting these needs can be challenging, particularly in the absence of a well-established evidence base about how best to help. In this informative guide, editors Sara Qualls and Julia Kasl-Godley have brought together a notable team of international contributors to produce a clear structure offering mental health professionals a framework for developing the competencies needed to work with end-of-life care issues, challenges, concerns, and opportunities. Part of the Wiley Series in Clinical Geropsychology, this thorough and up-to-date guide answers complex questions often asked by patients, their families and caregivers, and helping professionals as well, including: How does dying occur, and how does it vary across illnesses? What are the spiritual issues that are visible in end-of-life care? How are families engaged in end-of-life care, and what services and support can mental health clinicians provide them? How should providers address mental disorders that appear at the end of life? What are the tools and strategies involved in advanced care planning, and how do they play out during end-of-life care? Sensitively addressing the issues that arise in the clinical care of the actively dying, this timely book is filled with clinical illustrations, guidance, tips for practice, and encouragement. Written to equip mental health professionals with the information they need to guide families and others caring for the needs of individuals with life-threatening and terminal illnesses, End-of-Life Issues, Grief, and Bereavement presents a rich resource for caregivers for the psychological, sociocultural, interpersonal, and spiritual aspects of care at the end of life.

COUNSELING IN THE REHABILITATION PROCESS

Community Services for Mental and Physical Disabilities

By: Gerald L. Gandy,E. Davis Martin,Richard E. Hardy

This text represents a complete revision and update that provides the reader with a comprehensive overview and introduction to the field of rehabilitation counseling and services but also has applicability to the growing field of community counseling. Part One, the introductory section, discusses and describes the basic foundations of the rehabilitative process. Part Two, the rehabilitation process, provides the reader with an insightful appreciation and understanding of the rehabilitation process. In Part Three, the counseling and psychosocial aspects of disability are traced from multiple points of view - both theoretical and practical - and psychodynamic, Adlerian, rational emotive, behavioral, and Gestalt perspectives are explored and examined. The final section discusses special topics in rehabilitation appropriate for an introductory textbook but more suitable for an in-depth examination. The book's revisions include, in part, a greatly expanded chapter on the foundations of rehabilitation as well as a new historical aspects chapter. Educational considerations have been expanded and incorporated into a chapter on the development of the rehabilitation counseling discipline. Material on the rehabilitation process and occupational analysis and placement has been reorganized and includes new material on job development and placement. New material has been included on counseling credentialing and substance use disabilities, and material on international and multicultural perspectives has been reorganized and updated. This outstanding text will be particularly useful in graduate introductory rehabilitation or community counseling courses and may be readily adaptable to undergraduate courses as well. Additionally, the book will be a very useful resource for rehabilitation or community counselor practitioners.

Re-Membering History in Student and Teacher Learning

An Afrocentric Culturally Informed Praxis

By: Joyce E. King,Ellen E. Swartz

What kind of social studies knowledge can stimulate a critical and ethical dialog with the past and present? "Re-Membering" History in Student and Teacher Learning answers this question by explaining and illustrating a process of historical recovery that merges Afrocentric theory and principles of culturally informed curricular practice to reconnect multiple knowledge bases and experiences. In the case studies presented, K-12 practitioners, teacher educators, preservice teachers, and parents use this praxis to produce and then study the use of democratized student texts; they step outside of reproducing standard school experiences to engage in conscious inquiry about their shared present as a continuance of a shared past. This volume exemplifies not only why instructional materials—including most so-called multicultural materials—obstruct democratized knowledge, but also takes the next step to construct and then study how "re-membered" student texts can be used. Case study findings reveal improved student outcomes, enhanced relationships between teachers and families and teachers and students, and a closer connection for children and adults to their heritage.

The authors effectively combine a broad orientation to the profession with the practical information necessary for students to become successful practitioners. Part I contains a comprehensive discussion of the fields history and theoretical underpinnings, providing students with the perspective they need to evaluate the social, cultural, demographic, economic, and technical forces that have shaped and are continuing to impact health and human services in general, and therapeutic recreation in particular. Part II introduces students to the client populations served by therapeutic recreation specialists and describes specific approaches and activities employed by TR professionals to help clients achieve meaningful improvements in health status, functional capacities, and quality of life. The authors have retained the practical, student-oriented approach that makes this an ideal text for introductory courses. They address all content areas included in the NCTRC certification exam, are compatible with the American Psychiatric Association on psychological classifications, and incorporate the World Health Organizations international classification of functioning, disability, and health. The latest edition contains updated information on baby boomers, the obesity epidemic, and evidence-based practices; field-based photographs and illustrations; and study questions and exercises designed to engage students.

Collected Works of Bernard Lonergan: Philosophical and theological papers, 1958-1964

By: Bernard J. F. Lonergan,Frederick E. Crowe,Robert M. Doran,Lonergan Research Institute

The period during which Bernard Lonergan delivered the eleven lectures in this volume was one of important transition for him: he was moving rapidly toward a new conception of theology and its method; and he was on the verge of what is now recognized as a major breakthrough in his thought on method, the idea that came to him in February 1965 of the eight functional specialities. While the lectures maintain a continuity with Lonergan's previous work, they also reveal new and significant ideas, especially in regard to his drive toward a new conception of theology as a whole, and his particular concern for the relevance of theology to the spiritual life. The lectures here include `The Redemption,' `Method in Catholic Theology,' `The Philosophy of History,' `The Origins of Christian Realism,' `Time and Meaning,' `Consciousness and the Trinity,' `Exegesis and Dogma,' `The Mediation of Christ in Prayer,' `The Analogy of Meaning,' `Philosophical Positions with Regard to Knowing,' and `Theology as Christian Phenomenon.' This volume provides a key to understanding the development of Lonergan's philosophical and theological thought, his major influences, and the pivotal moments of transition in the road leading up to Method in Theology and beyond.

The Periodontium

The Periodontium

By: Hubert E. Schroeder

In their contribution to the first edition of this Handbook, entitled "The Teeth," LEHNER and PLENK (1936) discussed the tissues constituting the "perio dontium" rather briefly. In contrast to the detailed paragraphs dealing with, for example, enamel and dentine, the section (about 40 pages and 20 illustra tions, mostly drawings) devoted to periodontal tissues failed to provide a factual review and summary of the contemporary knowledge and latest developments in research on the various components of the periodontium. Instead, much of the text was an attempt to arrive at conclusions from often purely semantic speculations, playing the various schools of thought against each other, provid ing arguments in favor of the authors' views and arguments for the feasibility and probability of accepting or rejecting the often diverse opinions, while the reader was referred to the already existing literature for factual details. Since 1936, however, factual details ofthe structural biology of the periodon tal tissues, i. e. their development, structure, function, and physiology, have been greatly extended and have been internationally accepted. With much less opin ionated belief to cope with, this knowledge has formed the solid foundation upon which diagnosis, prevention, and treatment in the fields of clinical perio dontology, modem orthodontics, and re- and transplantation procedures of teeth have been built.

Living, Dying, Death, and Bereavement (Volume Two)

Conversations with Thanatologists

By: David E. Balk

This two-volume book offers extensive interviews with persons who have made significant contributions to thanatology, the study of dying, death, loss, and grief. The book’s in-depth conversations provide compelling life stories of interest to clinicians, researchers, and educated lay persons, and to specialists interested in oral history as a means of gaining rich understandings of persons’ lives. Several disciplines that contribute to thanatology are represented in this book, such as psychology, religious studies, art, literature, history, social work, nursing, theology, education, psychiatry, sociology, philosophy, and anthropology. The book is unique; no other text offers such a comprehensive, insightful, and personal review of work in the thanatology field. The salience of thanatology is obvious when we consider several topics, including the aging demographics of most countries, the leading causes of death, the devastation of COVID-19, the realities of how most persons die, the growth both of hospice and of efforts within medicine to ensure that a good death becomes the norm of medical practice, and increases in the number of countries and states permitting physician-assisted suicide. This second volume includes conversations with 16 thanatologists, a rich, extensive bibliography, an index of names and subjects, and a biographical sketch of the author. The experts interviewed in this volume include Danai Papadatou, Holly Prigerson, Jack Jordan, Illene Cupit, Heather Servaty-Seib, Irwin Sandler, Simon Shimshon Rubin, Carla Sofka, Harold Ivan Smith, and Phyllis Kosminsky.
