Download or read book The Therapeutic Power of the Maggie s Centre written by Caterina Frisone and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-05-07 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the therapeutic environment of the Maggie’s centre and explores the many ways this is achieved. With an unconventional architecture as required by the design brief, combined with Maggie’s psychological support programme, this special health facility allows extraordinary therapeutic effects in people, to the point that one can speak of therapeutic power. After tracing the story of the Maggie’s centre, the book reveals its fundamentals: Maggie’s Therapeutikos (the-mind-as-important-as-the-body), the Architectural Brief and the ‘Client-Architect-Users’ Triad. It continues by unfolding Maggie’s synergy-that between people and place-which increases users’ psychological flexibility helping them tolerate what was intolerable before. Although comfort and atmospheres are paramount, they are not enough to define the therapeutic environment of the Maggie’s centre. Only by looking at neuroscience that can give us scientific explanations of empathy, feelings and emotions and only considering space neither neutral nor empty, but full of forces that envelop people in an embodied experience, can we explain what generates wellbeing in a Maggie’s centre. The book concludes by critically evaluating the Maggie’s centre as a model to be applied to other healthcare facilities and to architecture in general. It is essential reading for any student or professional working on therapeutic environments.
Download or read book Love in the Library written by Maggie Tokuda-Hall and published by Candlewick Press. This book was released on 2022-01-11 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in an incarceration camp where the United States cruelly detained Japanese Americans during WWII and based on true events, this moving love story finds hope in heartbreak. To fall in love is already a gift. But to fall in love in a place like Minidoka, a place built to make people feel like they weren’t human—that was miraculous. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Tama is sent to live in a War Relocation Center in the desert. All Japanese Americans from the West Coast—elderly people, children, babies—now live in prison camps like Minodoka. To be who she is has become a crime, it seems, and Tama doesn’t know when or if she will ever leave. Trying not to think of the life she once had, she works in the camp’s tiny library, taking solace in pages bursting with color and light, love and fairness. And she isn’t the only one. George waits each morning by the door, his arms piled with books checked out the day before. As their friendship grows, Tama wonders: Can anyone possibly read so much? Is she the reason George comes to the library every day? Maggie Tokuda-Hall’s beautifully illustrated, elegant love story features a photo of the real Tama and George—the author’s grandparents—along with an afterword and other back matter for readers to learn more about a time in our history that continues to resonate.

Book excerpt: Murder Most Foul On Old Gorge Road, screamed the front-page headline of the The Kentbury Kaller on an August morning in 1951. Nestled in the bucolic setting of a rural county, the New Jersey hamlet of Kentbury is used to peace and quiet, interrupted only by an occasional traffic accident or domestic squabble, but now a gruesome murder has shattered that tranquility, bringing fear and distrust. Chief of Police, Bull Campbell and his new deputy, a decorated former Marine, find themselves up to their eyeballs in leads drawing them back to old town records, when they encounter strange rumors of happenings decades before. Could clues from the past explain who killed Gaffer White; and how could a fifty-year-old Death Certificate for an infant born in Califon relate to the crimes in Kentbury? Faced with a second murder and more questions than answers, the police grow desperate and enlist help from a noted Princeton psychiatrist. Trusting his expert advice, they set a trap to catch the evildoer who has been hiding in plain sight. Old Gorge Road is a rich offering of colorful characters and small town life, challenged when evil invades by way of murder and madness. In this second Kentbury Mystery, following award-nominated The Light From Maggies View, author Cheryl Nugent again invites us to wander back in time for a look behind the scenes, and discover whats really going in the Rolling Hills of Hunterdon County!

This book was released on 2018-08-27 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Performing Intimacies with Hawthorne, Austen, Wharton, and George Eliot analyzes literary reproductions of everyday intimacies through a microsociological lens to demonstrate the value of reading microsocially. The text investigates the interplay between author, character, and reader and considers such concepts as face and moments of embarrassment to emphasize how art and life are inseparable. Drawing on narrative theory, the phenomenological approach, and macro approaches, Maya Higashi Wakana examines Hawthorne’s “The Minister’s Black Veil,” Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, Wharton’s Ethan Frome and The Age of Innocence, and George Eliot’s The Mill on the Floss. Through a multidisciplinary approach, this book provides new ways of reading the everyday in literature.
