CBT for Chronic Illness and Palliative Care

A Workbook and Toolkit

By: Nigel Sage,Michelle Sowden,Elizabeth Chorlton,Andrea Edeleanu

There is a growing awareness of the need to address the psychological distress associated with physical ill health; however, current resources are limited and difficult to access. The best way to tackle the issue is by enhancing the skills of those professionals who have routine contact with them. CBT provides the evidence-based skills that most readily meet these requirements in a time and cost efficient manner. Based on materials prepared for a Cancer Network sponsored training programme and modified to address the needs of a larger client population of people experiencing psychological distress due to physical ill-health, this innovative workbook offers a basic introduction and guide to enable healthcare professionals to build an understanding of the relevance and application of CBT methods in everyday clinical practice.

Adolescent-to-Parent Violence and Abuse

Applying Research to Policy and Practice

By: Elizabeth McCloud

This book seeks to break new ground in the way in which adolescent-to-parent violence and abuse is understood. Incorporating knowledge from an original research project undertaken in the UK and international literature, this book provides insight into the prevalence of this form of domestic violence which can include psychological, physical, and economic abuse. Young person and family characteristics are explored, and links are made between sibling aggression and school bullying behaviours. A key theme is how the data can be used to develop statistical models which can screen for young people behaving abusively towards their parents. It discusses how the research can be applied to inform theoretical frameworks, policy development, and professional practice, with a focus on prevention and early intervention that uses positive youth justice and restorative approaches.

Neonatology Case-Based Review

Neonatology Case-Based Review

By: Dara Brodsky,Elizabeth G. Doherty

As a pediatric subspecialty, neonatology poses a special challenge for residents: rotations are short, but care for preterm and critically ill patients is complex. Despite residents brief exposure to neonatology, they're expected to have a good understanding of key concepts, diagnoses and therapies when they sit for the boards. Attendings often struggle with how best to teach these concepts, because residents don't always have exposure to the range of babies they need to see to have a good foundation in this area. Neonatology Case-Based Review addresses this information gap by presenting 112 case-based multiple-choice questions in neonatology. Cases are mapped to the American Board of Pediatrics Content Specifications for pediatric residents; the Review is appropriate for residents entering their neonatology rotation, as an introduction to the subspecialty, and again as they study for their boards. Answers include rationales so that the Review is a comprehensive teaching guide for attendings as well.

Essentials of Assessment Report Writing

By: W. Joel Schneider,Elizabeth O. Lichtenberger,Nancy Mather,Nadeen L. Kaufman

The bestselling guide to reporting writing, updated and reworked for today's practice Essentials of Assessment Report Writing offers effective solutions to the creation of reader-friendly, yet targeted, psychological, and educational assessment reports. Parents, clinicians, clients, and other readers need more than test-by-test descriptions—they need an accessible analysis of the entire situation to determine their next steps. This book provides clear guidance for busy practitioners seeking ways to improve their report writing skills. With a focus on current practice, this new second edition covers DSM-5 updates and the latest assessment instruments including the WJ IV, WISC-V, WAIS-IV, KTEA-3, and the CAS2. New discussion includes advice on tailoring the report to the audience, and annotated case reports provide illustrative models of effective report styles, interpretation, and analysis. Key concepts are highlighted for quick reference throughout, and end-of-chapter questions help reinforce understanding. Reporting styles vary widely within the field, in both content and style; there is no definitive "standard," but many reports fail to reflect best practices and therefore prove less than useful to the reader. This book provides expert guidance throughout the reporting process to help practitioners provide high-quality, accessible reports. Integrate assessment results to provide a person-centered report Identify and navigate critical decision points in the interpretive process Write efficiently yet effectively while enhancing the reader's experience Provide an accurate, informative, and readable assessment report Incorporate practical recommendations to address the referral concerns Expertly-conducted assessments should culminate with a carefully constructed analysis that provides direction via clear communication. Because this report will be used to inform treatment, intervention, and ultimately, the client's quality of life—it is critical that it provides clear, informative guidance in a way that readers can understand. Essentials of Assessment Report Writing provides comprehensive guidelines for navigating through the report writing process.

Get a Better Mammogram

A Smart Woman’s Guide to a More Understandable—And More Comfortable—Mammogram Experience

By: Elizabeth Fitzgerald RT

There are plenty of survival stories out there relating to breast cancer, and they are inspiring and gratefully appreciated. However, there are very few books explaining what the average woman can expect from the mammogram experience. Having plenty of familiarity with both sides of the mammogram machine, as a patient and mammography technologist, Elizabeth Fitzgerald shares her journey and provides a play-by-play explanation of a yearly process that is highly recommended, yet often unclear. She also explains how to find a breast care facility that best caters to your needs and sheds light on 3D Mammography and ABUS Ultrasound Screening, two of the more recent tools in the growing arsenal of diagnostic mammography. Get a Better Mammogram is a smart woman’s guide to getting a more informed, more comfortable mammogram experience. This is the mammographic equivalent of What to Expect When You’re Expecting, told with all the warmth of your favorite sister ... who just happens to do mammograms for a living.

Iris Murdoch

Work for the Spirit

By: Elizabeth Dipple

Originally published in 1982, this brilliant study provides a perceptive and up-to-date assessment of the novels of Iris Murdoch, up to and including Nuns and Soldiers, published in 1980. The Fire and the Sun, her book on Plato, is also considered in depth. It is not a critical biography, but rather shows how massive Murdoch’s literary career was at the time and what her contribution has been to aesthetics, literary criticism, the realistic novel, and to the possibilities of ethical and religious action in a horror-filled and secular age. Above all, the book is interested in forwarding Murdoch’s cause among her readers. It is not aimed simply at those who have read and studied all of her novels, the text will appeal to the readers of only a few of them, as well as literary scholars and students of contemporary fiction and modern culture.

Contemporary Arab Thought

Cultural Critique in Comparative Perspective

By: Elizabeth Suzanne Kassab

During the second half of the twentieth century, the Arab intellectual and political scene polarized between a search for totalizing doctrines--nationalist, Marxist, and religious--and radical critique. Arab thinkers were reacting to the disenchanting experience of postindependence Arab states, as well as to authoritarianism, intolerance, and failed development. They were also responding to successive defeats by Israel, humiliation, and injustice. The first book to take stock of these critical responses, this volume illuminates the relationship between cultural and political critique in the work of major Arab thinkers, and it connects Arab debates on cultural malaise, identity, and authenticity to the postcolonial issues of Latin America and Africa, revealing the shared struggles of different regions and various Arab concerns.

Everyday Islamic Law and the Making of Modern South Asia

Everyday Islamic Law and the Making of Modern South Asia

By: Elizabeth Lhost

Beginning in the late eighteenth century, British rule transformed the relationship between law, society, and the state in South Asia. But qazis and muftis, alongside ordinary people without formal training in law, fought back as the colonial system in India sidelined Islamic legal experts. They petitioned the East India Company for employment, lobbied imperial legislators for recognition, and built robust institutions to serve their communities. By bringing legal debates into the public sphere, they resisted the colonial state's authority over personal law and rejected legal codification by embracing flexibility and possibility. With postcards, letters, and telegrams, they made everyday Islamic law vibrant and resilient and challenged the hegemony of the Anglo-Indian legal system. Following these developments from the beginning of the Raj through independence, Elizabeth Lhost rejects narratives of stagnation and decline to show how an unexpected coterie of scholars, practitioners, and ordinary individuals negotiated the contests and challenges of colonial legal change. The rich archive of unpublished fatwa files, qazi notebooks, and legal documents they left behind chronicles their efforts to make Islamic law relevant for everyday life, even beyond colonial courtrooms and the confines of family law. Lhost shows how ordinary Muslims shaped colonial legal life and how their diversity and difference have contributed to contemporary debates about religion, law, pluralism, and democracy in South Asia and beyond.

Everything You Came to See

A Novel

By: Elizabeth Schulte Martin

People say it like a joke, but Henry Bell really did run away from home to join the circus. A talented new performer with a struggling circus, he's found a place for himself among the fire-eaters, tightrope walkers, and contortionists. But no matter how far the show travels, Henry's past is never far behind—the mother he lost, the violent father he fled, the brother he abandoned. As Henry pushes himself to create bigger, better performances, his actions become a wrecking ball to the relationships around him. From his costar, to the former headlining giant of the circus, to the circus manager himself, no one is untouched. Left unchecked, Henry's blind ambition becomes the very thing that could save—or destroy—the circus itself. Unless Henry can reckon with the family and past he's left behind, the spark which drives him to perform may burn out or ignite—engulfing everyone and everything he loves. A story of the passion that drives creativity, Everything You Came to See is an unforgettable debut, challenging our ideas of family—and what it takes to rebuild them.

From Memory to Marble

By: Elizabeth Rankin,Rolf Michael Schneider

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

From Memory to Marble

The historical frieze of the Voortrekker Monument Part I: The Frieze

By: Elizabeth Rankin,Rolf Michael Schneider

For the first time, the 92-metre frieze of the Voortrekker Monument in Pretoria, one of the largest historical narratives in marble, has been made the subject of a book. The pictorial narrative of the Boer pioneers who conquered South Africa’s interior during the 'Great Trek' (1835-52) represents a crucial period of South Africa’s past. Conceptualising the frieze both reflected on and contributed to the country’s socio-political debates in the 1930s and 1940s when it was made. The book considers the active role the Monument played in the rise of Afrikaner nationalism and the development of apartheid, as well as its place in post-apartheid heritage. The frieze is unique in that it provides rare evidence of the complex processes followed in creating a major monument. Based on unpublished documents, drawings and models, these processes are unfolded step by step, from the earliest discussions of the purpose and content of the frieze, through all the stages of its design, to its shipping to post-war Italy to be copied into marble from Monte Altissimo, up to its final installation in the Monument. The book examines how visual representation transforms historical memory in what it chooses to recount, and the forms in which it is depicted. The second volume expands on the first, by investigating each of the twenty-seven scenes of the frieze in depth, providing new insights into not only the frieze, but also South Africa’s history. François van Schalkwyk of African Minds, co-publisher with De Gruyter writes: From Memory to Marble is an open access monograph in the true sense of the word. Both volumes of the digital version of the book are available in full and free of charge from the date of publication. This approach to publishing democratises access to the latest scholarly publications across the globe. At the same time, a book such as From Memory to Marble, with its unique and exquisite photographs of the frieze as well as its wealth of reproduced archival materials, demands reception of a more traditional kind, that is, on the printed page. For this reason, the book is likewise available in print as two separate volumes. The printed and digital books should not be seen as separate incarnations; each brings its own advantages, working together to extend the reach and utility of From Memory to Marble to a range of interested readers.

The Dreamwork Papers

An Introduction to the Psychology of Dreams

By: Elizabeth L. Howard,Elizabeth Howard MA

For more than 20 years, Elizabeth Howard has worked with dreams and dreamers to enable each person to discover the secrets of their dreams. In The Dreamwork Papers, Howard introduces major theories and methods of dreamwork such as the work of Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung. She describes her own work and her studies of the work of Frederick and Laura Perls and their formulation of gestalt therapy. She tells how to create a helpful dream journal and how to use the "magic cookie" as an aid to remembering dreams. Elizabeth Howard lives in Gainesville, Florida. She studied psychology, dreams and the gestalt approach with Vincent F. O'Connell, Ph.D. She has taught classes in the psychology of dreams in community college, offers lectures about dreams in the community, and facilitates individuals and groups centered on self-discovery through dreams. "I've been fascinated by dreams for years," she says. "I don't know of anything else that reaches so deep into the soul of the individual. Dreams can bring laughter and tears, but to me, in the end there always seems to be growth and moving on.

Heimat - A German Dream

Regional Loyalties and National Identity in German Culture 1890-1990

By: Elizabeth Boa,Rachel Palfreyman

The discourse of Heimat, meaning homeland or roots, has been a medium of debate on German identity between region and nation for at least a century. Four phases parallel Germany's discontinuous history: Heimat literature as a response to modernization and to regional tensions before the First World War; the inter-war period when Heimat divided into racist ideology, left-wing opposition, and inner resistance to the Third Reich; a post-war dialectic between escapist 1950s Heimat films and right-wing claims to the lost lands in the East to which anti-Heimat theatre and films in the 1960s and 1970s were a response, with the urban Heimat in GDR films adding a socialist twist; regionalism and green politics in the 1980s and German identity beyond Cold War divisions. A key point of reference in current debates on German history, Heimat looks likely to continue in postmodern and multicultural mode.

Deadly Deception in Arizona

A Novel of Suspense

By: Elizabeth Bruening Lewis

Bright, determined and focused Abby Taylor has not lost her sense of humor in spite of taking an indefinite leave of absence from her position as Professor of Anglo Saxon Studies at Vassar College due to Polycystic Kidney Disease. And she certainly doesn't go out looking for trouble any more than her attractive companion, Northern Arizona Forestry Professor David Neale does. But once again it finds them. And once again, Abby's beloved Corgi dog Francis will do all that he can to protect his humans. In the midst of the beautiful ranching country near Prescott, AZ, where their borrowed house is located, Abby and David, along with the faithful Francis, should be enjoying a pleasant break from daily cares and concerns. But alas, disturbing events begin unfolding left and right. Who would poison a Hereford Yearling? Who would shoot an innocent and much respected Basque sheepherder? And who would turn the highway going down from Mingus Mountain into a death trap? As they try to live their peaceful lives amidst the splendor of the high desert, it becomes evident that some questions must be answered if Abby, David, and Francis are going to stay alive... in Arizona.

Self-Consciousness and "Split" Brains

The Minds' I

Self-Consciousness and "Split" Brains

The Minds' I

By: Elizabeth Schechter

Could a single human being ever have multiple conscious minds? Some human beings do. The corpus callosum is a large pathway connecting the two hemispheres of the brain. In the second half of the twentieth century a number of people had this pathway cut through as a treatment for epilepsy. They became colloquially known as split-brain subjects. After the two hemispheres of the brain are cortically separated in this way, they begin to operate unusually independently of each other in the realm of thought, action, and conscious experience, almost as if each hemisphere now had a mind of its own. Philosophical discussion of the split-brain cases has overwhelmingly focused on questions of psychological identity in split-brain subjects, questions like: how many subjects of experience is a split-brain subject? How many intentional agents? How many persons? On the one hand, under experimental conditions, split-brain subjects often act in ways difficult to understand except in terms of each of them having two distinct streams or centers of consciousness. Split-brain subjects thus evoke the duality intuition: that a single split-brain human being is somehow composed of two thinking, experiencing, and acting things. On the other hand, a split-brain subject nonetheless seems like one of us, at the end of the day, rather than like two people sharing one body. In other words, split-brain subjects also evoke the unity intuition: that a split-brain subject is one person. Elizabeth Schechter argues that there are in fact two minds, subjects of experience, and intentional agents inside each split-brain human being: right and left. On the other hand, each split-brain subject is nonetheless one of us. The key to reconciling these two claims is to understand the ways in which each of us is transformed by self-consciousness.
