Children Recovering from Complex Trauma From Wound to Scar

Children Recovering from Complex Trauma From Wound to Scar

Children Recovering from Complex Trauma: From Wound to Scar draws on the latest knowledge and research on complex trauma in children as well as the authors’ expertise in order to outline a trauma-sensitive approach to these children and their parents. The first part of the book describes the emotional and relational dynamics underlying these children’s behaviour. The second part of the book offers a glimpse behind the scenes of the authors' psychotherapy practice elaborating the processes of change and growth that can enable developmental recovery ‘from wound to scar’ in children who have experienced complex trauma. As such the book aims to ‘demystify’ what psychotherapy with a traumatised child may look like as well as offer insights and tools which can support carers in their daily interactions with these children. This book will be of great use to the adoptive parents and foster carers of children who have experienced complex trauma and the care professionals (e. g. teachers foster care workers) who work with them. | Children Recovering from Complex Trauma From Wound to Scar

But since that time the political economic and social context has evolved greatly and planners organizers and residents have been involved in planning and community development practice in ways previously unforeseen. Learning from Arnstein’s Ladder draws on contemporary theory expertise empirical analysis and practical applications in what is now more commonly termed public engagement in planning to examine the enduring impacts of Arnstein’s work and the pervasive challenges that planners face in advancing meaningful public engagement. This book presents research from throughout the world including Australia Brazil India Indonesia Portugal Serbia and the United States among others that utilizes critiques revises and expands upon Arnstein’s aspirational vision.

Poems from Korea From the Earliest Era to the Present

Poems from Korea From the Earliest Era to the Present

The Koreans according to the Chinese chronicles are ‘the people who enjoy singing and dancing’ and who regaled their gods with dance and song. Since then poetry has been an essential part of Korean life and has been regarded as the highest of the arts. In this first comprehensive anthology of Korean poetry in English first published in 1974 Peter Lee has selected and translated a wide variety of poems ranging from the Silla Dynasty in 57 BC to the middle of the twentieth century. The poems chosen reflect not only the native Korean tradition but also the great tradition of Chinese poetry. They often possess a deep lyrical quality many are rich in religious overtones or derive their beauty from contemplation of nature and through many of the poems runs the feeling of the closeness of Korean life to the earth. | Poems from Korea From the Earliest Era to the Present

From Trust to Trustworthiness

From Trust to Trustworthiness

Trust is an essential component of social life and yet political polarization and social tensions can easily lead to its erosion. The articles collected in this volume throw a new light on the fundamentals of trust and trustworthiness and thus help us understand better the conditions and the limits of trust. The book brings together some of the best recent thinking on trust from across a broad spectrum of approaches and concerns. The essays range from the more abstract discussions of the conditions and nature of trust to its application to our social and political lives in general alongside more subject specific approaches such as trust in the media. Trust is a thick concept with both epistemic and normative content and significance and several chapters engage with the ethical features of trust in distinct ways and also show the central role of trust in our decision-making. There is also an engagement with the phenomenological approach of Husserl in conjunction with Margaret Gilbert’s theory of political obligation. The final chapter by Onora O’Neill one of the pioneers of the discussions of trust and trustworthiness in recent philosophy links the topic of trust to the central issue of the conditions of trustworthiness. Given the paramount significance of the exercise of trust in our daily lives this book will be of interest to philosophers and non-philosophers alike. This book was originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of Philosophical Studies. | From Trust to Trustworthiness

Charlotte Brontë from the Beginnings New Essays from the Juvenilia to the Major Works

Charlotte Brontë from the Beginnings New Essays from the Juvenilia to the Major Works

Composed of serialized works poems short tales and novellas Charlotte Brontë's juvenilia merit serious scholarly attention as revelatory works in and of themselves as well as for what they tell us about the development of Brontë as a writer. This timely collection attends to both critical strands positioning Brontë as an author whose career encompassed the Romantic and Victorian eras and delving into the developing nineteenth century's literary concerns as well as the growth of the writer's mind. As the contributors show Brontë's authorship took shape among the pages of her juvenilia as figures from Brontë's childhood experience of the world such as Wellington and Napoleon transmuted to her fictional pages while her siblings' works and worlds both overlapped with and extended beyond her own. | Charlotte Brontë from the Beginnings New Essays from the Juvenilia to the Major Works

Goth Music From Sound to Subculture

Goth Music From Sound to Subculture

Is goth music a genre and if so how does it relate to the goth subculture? The music played at goth club nights and festivals encompasses a broad range of musical substyles from gloomy Batcave reverberations to neo-medieval bagpipe drones and from the lush vocals of goth metal to the harsh distortion of goth industrial. Goth Music: From Sound to Subculture argues that within this variegated musical landscape a number of key consistencies exist. Not only do all these goth substyles share a number of musical and textual characteristics but more importantly these aspects of the music are constitutive of goth social reality. Drawing on their own experiences in the European and American goth scenes the authors explore the ways in which the sounds of goth inform the scene’s listening practices its fantasies of other worlds and its re-enchantment of their own world. Goth music this book asserts engenders a musical timespace of its own a musical chronotope that is driven by nostalgic yearning. Goth Music: From Sound to Subculture reorients goth subcultural studies onto music: goth music must be recognized not only as simultaneously diverse and consistent but also as the glue that holds together goth scenes from all over the world.

This book first published in 1967 gives us a rich sampling of ch’ü the characteristic poem of the time of Yüan when China was under Mongol rule. The ch’ü was a popular form of poetry in the sense that although it was written by literati they wrote in the vernacular rather than in Classical Chinese. Each poem was written to be sung to an already popular tune. In addition to the ‘final translations’ the steps by which the translators proceeded from a literal character-by-character translation through several intermediate stages to the final version are revealed in detail. | Fifty Songs from the Yüan Fifty Songs from the Yüan: Poetry of 13th Century China

Fieldnotes from a Depth Psychological Exploration of Evil From Chinggis Khan to Carl Jung

Fieldnotes from a Depth Psychological Exploration of Evil From Chinggis Khan to Carl Jung

In Fieldnotes from a Depth Psychological Exploration of Evil Robin L. Gordon presents an accessible account of an attempt to define and understand the nature of evil. Gordon takes on the role of guide to this confusing land tying together threads of Jungian theory philosophy etymology neuroscience and history as we are led on a personal journey of discovery. Gordon begins by analysing what a twelfth-century meeting between Chinggis Khan and Taoist priest Ch’ang-Ch’un can tell us about the presence of opposing traits and the nature of evil in human beings. We learn what depth psychology has said about evil and the shadow part of our psyches and examine examples of human behaviour throughout history to understand the etymological philosophical and historical understandings and definitions of evil. Gordon’s own relationship with her work and the feelings that arise when researching the psychological framework of Nazi doctors genocide in Rwanda Bosnia and Syria and the functionality of serial killers are interrogated. We then return to Chinggis Khan’s and Ch’ang-Ch’un’s relationship attempting to build a real and practical definition of evil and assessing their dialogues as a metaphor for Jung’s views of the transcendent function. Fieldnotes from a Depth Psychological Exploration of Evil will be essential reading for academics and students of Jungian and post-Jungian studies sociology criminology and philosophy. It will also be a key resource for Jungian analysts and psychotherapists interested in the study of evil and its impact on society and the psyche as well as anyone investigating and redefining their own meanings of evil past and present. | Fieldnotes from a Depth Psychological Exploration of Evil From Chinggis Khan to Carl Jung

The Lean Approach to Digital Transformation From Customer to Code and From Code to Customer

The Lean Approach to Digital Transformation From Customer to Code and From Code to Customer

The Lean Approach to Digital Transformation: From Customer to Code and From Code to Customer is organized into three parts that expose and develop the three capabilities that are essential for a successful digital transformation: 1. Understanding how to co-create digital services with users whether they are customers or future customers. This ability combines observation dialogue and iterative experimentation. The approach proposed in this book is based on the Lean Startup approach according to an extended vision that combines Design Thinking and Growth Hacking. Companies must become truly customer-centric from observation and listening to co-development. The revolution of the digital age of the 21st century is that customer orientation is more imperative - the era of abundance usages rate of change complexity of experiences and shift of power towards communities - are easier using digital tools and digital communities. 2. Developing an information system (IS) that is the backbone of the digital transformation – called “exponential information system” to designate an open IS (in particular on its borders) capable of interfacing and combining with external services positioned as a player in software ecosystems and built for processing scalable and dynamic data flows. The exponential information system is constantly changing and it continuously absorbs the best of information processing technology such as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. 3. Building software “micro-factories” that produce service platforms which are called “Lean software factories. ” This “software factory” concept covers the integration of agile methods tooling and continuous integration and deployment practices a customer-oriented product approach and a platform approach based on modularity as well as API-based architecture and openness to external stakeholders. This software micro-factory is the foundation that continuously produces and provides constantly evolving services. These three capabilities are not unique or specific to this book they are linked to other concepts such as agile methods product development according to lean principles software production approaches such as CICD (continuous integration and deployment) or DevOps. This book weaves a common frame of reference for all these approaches to derive more value from the digital transformation and to facilitate its implementation. The title of the book refers to the “lean approach to digital transformation” because the two underlying frameworks Lean Startup and Lean Software Factory are directly inspired by Lean in the sense of the Toyota Way. The Lean approach is present from the beginning to the end of this book - it provides the framework for customer orientation and the love of a job well done which are the conditions for the success of a digital transformation. | The Lean Approach to Digital Transformation From Customer to Code and From Code to Customer
