Encyclopedia of Asylum Therapeutics, 1750-1950s

By: Mary de Young

The mentally ill have always been with us, but once confined in institutions their treatment has not always been of much interest or concern. This work makes a case for why it should be. Using published reports, studies, and personal narratives of doctors and patients, this book reveals how therapeutics have always been embedded in their particular social and historical moment, and how they have linked extant medical knowledge, practitioner skill and the expectations of patients who experienced their own disorders in different ways. Asylum therapeutics during three centuries are detailed in encyclopedic entries, including "awakening" patients with firecrackers, easing brain congestion by bleeding, extracting teeth and excising parts of the colon, dousing with water, raising or lowering body temperature, shocking with electricity or toxins, and penetrating the brain with ice picks.

Fixing the Foundation

Teachers and Basic Education in East Asia and Pacific

By: Rythia Afkar,Tara Beteille,Mary Breeding,Toby Linden,Aaditya Mattoo,Tobias Pfutze,Lars Sondergaard,Noah Yarrow

Countries in middle-income East Asia and the Pacific were already experiencing serious learning deficits prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-related school disruptions have only made things worse. Learning poverty -- defined as the percentage of 10-year-olds who cannot read and understand an age-appropriate text -- is as high as 90 percent in several countries. Several large Southeast Asian countries consistently perform well below expectations on adolescent learning assessments. This report examines key factors affecting student learning in the region, with emphasis on the central role of teachers and teaching quality. It also analyzes the role education technologies, which came into widespread use during the pandemic, and examines the political economy of education reform. The report presents recommendations on how countries can strengthen teaching to improve learning and, in doing so, can enhance productivity, growth, and future development in the region.

Sacred Longings

The Ecological Spirit and Global Culture

By: Mary C. Grey

This book explores what is happening to the human spirit in a culture shaped and driven by [globalization], a culture where dreams, imaginations and desires are all manipulated...." What do we really want? Noted theologian Mary Grey believes we have gotten out of touch with our deepest desires and that the root problem is our acquiescence in global capitalism's most problematic characteristics. Story and symbol, she argues, can put us back in touch with out "sacred longings." Focusing on such simple yet profound symbols as water, light, and sacred space, she tries to reinstill a spiritual quest. In the end, she envisions spirituality--a kind of ecomystical renewal--as an element in the transformation of desire, lived out in Christian community. "For desire to be reborn, for sacred longings even to be named, not to mention fulfilled, there needs to be an embracing of the way of renunciation, simplicity and sacrifice. And that is counter-cultural..." As Part One looks at how our culture has lost heart, and Part Two analyzes are restless hearts, Part Three asks us to take heart and rekindle our thirst for righteousness.

Care at Home for People Living with Dementia

Delaying Institutionalization, Sustaining Families

By: Christine Ceci,Mary Ellen Purkis

What 'kind' of community is demanded by a problem like dementia? As aspects of care continue to transition from institutional to community and home settings, this book considers the implications for people living with dementia and their carers. Drawing on extensive fieldwork and case studies from Canada, this book analyses the intersections of formal dementia strategies and the experiences of families and others on the frontlines of care. Considering the strains placed on care systems by the COVID-19 pandemic, this book looks afresh at what makes home-based care possible or impossible and how these considerations can help establish a deeper understanding necessary for good policy and practice.

Depression and Older People

Towards Securing Well-being in Later Life

By: Godfrey, Mary,Tracy Denby

The literature on depression in old age has tended to be dominated by the medical model with its focus on symptoms and treatment. This report breaks new ground by adopting a psycho-social approach - one that explores depression in the context of the everyday lives of older people. Commissioned by Help the Aged, the report reviews the nature and scope of the evidence base around depression and older people; evaluates current policy and practice responses and identifies gaps in the evidence base and areas for further work. Depression and older people is invaluable reading for anyone involved in the management and delivery of services to older people, as well as academics, students and researchers in the field. It will also be of interest to older people themselves.
