Book excerpt: Psychotherapy across distance and time, from Freud’s treatments by mail to crisis hotlines, radio call-ins, chatbots, and Zoom sessions. Therapy has long understood itself as taking place in a room, with two (or more) people engaged in person-to-person conversation. And yet, starting with Freud’s treatments by mail, psychotherapy has operated through multiple communication technologies and media. These have included advice columns, radio broadcasts, crisis hotlines, video, personal computers, and mobile phones; the therapists (broadly defined) can be professional or untrained, strangers or chatbots. In The Distance Cure, Hannah Zeavin proposes a reconfiguration of the traditional therapeutic dyad of therapist and patient as a triad: therapist, patient, and communication technology. Zeavin tracks the history of teletherapy (understood as a therapeutic interaction over distance) and its metamorphosis from a model of cure to one of contingent help. She describes its initial use in ongoing care, its role in crisis intervention and symptom management, and our pandemic-mandated reliance on regular Zoom sessions. Her account of the “distanced intimacy” of the therapeutic relationship offers a powerful rejoinder to the notion that contact across distance (or screens) is always less useful, or useless, to the person seeking therapeutic treatment or connection. At the same time, these modes of care can quickly become a backdoor for surveillance and disrupt ethical standards important to the therapeutic relationship. The history of the conventional therapeutic scenario cannot be told in isolation from its shadow form, teletherapy. Therapy, Zeavin tells us, was never just a “talking cure”; it has always been a communication cure.
Download or read book Electric Contacts written by Ragnar Holm and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a completely revised and rewritten edition of "Electric Contacts Handbook" published in 1958. A large number of new in vestigations are considered, and many of the basic theories are revised in detail and even in general. The body of information had to be limited as it was not advisable to increase the volume of the book. In particular, no attempt was made to cover all of the practical applications. They appear as examples following concentrated explanations of basic phenomena. As in several branches of technology, the solutions of problems ari sing in the field of electric contacts involve insight into various disci plines of physics. It is feit that reviews of some of those topics, especi ally adapted to electric contact phenomena, are welcome to many readers. For example, chapters have been devoted to the structure of carbon, the band theory of electric conduction in solids, certain pro blems in statistics, and the theory of the electric arc. As regards arc problems, new ideas have been introduced. In order to make the main text less cumbersome, such reviews are presented as appendices. Throughout this edition, the mksa-unit system is used in accord with the latest recommendation for standardization of units in scientific and technical writings. The chapter "History of Early Investigations on Contacts" forming Part IV in the preceding edition of 1958 has not been repeated in this book.
Download or read book Small Wars Faraway Places written by Michael Burleigh and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-11-25 with total page 609 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sweeping history of the Cold War’s many “hot” wars born in the last gasps of empire The Cold War reigns in popular imagination as a period of tension between the two post-World War II superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, without direct conflict. Drawing from new archival research, prize-winning historian Michael Burleigh gives new meaning to the seminal decades of 1945 to 1965 by examining the many, largely forgotten, “hot” wars fought around the world. As once-great Western colonial empires collapsed, counter-insurgencies campaigns raged in the Philippines, the Congo, Iran, and other faraway places. Dozens of new nations struggled into existence, the legacies of which are still felt today. Placing these vicious struggles alongside the period-defining United States and Soviet standoffs in Korea, Vietnam, and Cuba, Burleigh swerves from Algeria to Kenya, to Vietnam and Kashmir, interspersing top-level diplomatic negotiations with portraits of the charismatic local leaders. The result is a dazzling work of history, a searing analysis of the legacy of imperialism and a reminder of just how the United States became the world’s great enforcer.

We follow him into perilous COIL missions, life-threatening humanitarian work, and dark plots of persecution against Christians by evil regimes. DISTANT CONTACT In Book One of The COIL Legacy, greed and Muslim extremism threaten to erase the Caspertein family. Reconciliation seems unlikely as Wynter is targeted by an assassin, and Rudy is presumed dead in the Arctic. COIL Agent and estranged brother, Titus, juggles the needs of persecuted Christians with the Iranian threat that spans from the Arkansas Ozarks to the Syrian desert. DISTANT FRONT In Book Two of The COIL Legacy, COIL Operative Steve Brookshire was kidnapped in Hong Kong two years ago. The communist Chinese government wants his intel on Underground House Churches. His work for Christ may have cost him his life. But a faint whisper about Steve draws Titus Caspertein into the heart of China to search for the missing missionary. Witness faithfulness through the worst suffering, yet watch God use these broken people for His mighty purposes! DISTANT HARM In Book Three of The COIL Legacy, Corban Dowler summons together COIL's best operatives for a covert rescue mission deep inside North Korea. With a secret missile about to launch, and executions imminent, the team must find a kidnapped couple before chaos and destruction take place. They pray they can all escape the reclusive country alive, but they know survival is highly unlikely. The world is about to change and a new dawn is on the horizon for COIL! Appendices included: 3 author notes, 5 maps, 3 character sketches, list of other books by D.I. Telbat.

Ortho C (or orthoculogy, which is Latin for "correcting the whole eye") is a natural treatment, requiring no alteration to the cornea. Key features of the book: • Introduces a neurological and natural treatment for the correction of nearsightedness • Presents many case studies showing the effectiveness of this treatment, based on the author’s 30+ years of research • Provides step-by-step instructions for designing lenses to suit the need, determining the sequence of wear, and conducting resistance tests • Grants readers the right to apply Ortho C to treat any patients with mild and moderate myopia, anisometropia, or compound astigmatism.
