Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sixteen-year-old Nathan Shepherd has a great life traveling where the careers of his father, an investigator, and mother, a renowned violinist, take him ... until his parents are found murdered. Left with only a mirror and notes from his father's last case, Nathan goes into hiding at the remote country home of Tony, his father's college buddy, and Tony's teenage daughter, Kelly. The mysterious mirror must be a clue to what happened to his parents, and when images appear in it---people and things that don't exist---Nathan and Kelly painstakingly gather evidence. But the killers want the mirror too, and danger threatens the teens at every turn. As it becomes evident that Nathan's father had stumbled upon dark forces at work in the world, several questions arise. Could it be that the mirror is a portal to a parallel world? Could this technology be used for evil purposes? And could his parents still be alive, trapped in another dimension? Nathan and Kelly struggle to solve the mystery before they too become victims. This chilling, hair-raising adventure is jam-packed with action in a fantastical world where nothing is as it seems, and even mirrors tell lies.
Download or read book Beyond Language in Relational Psychotherapy written by Helena Hargaden and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-06-07 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of articles by Dr. Helena Hargaden makes the case for the evolution of relational theory from a scientific and poetic knowledge base, expressing the different forms of human suffering. Journal articles, book chapters, and speeches spanning the course of 22 years trace the evolution of the author’s own mind alongside the evolution of relational theory. Drawing on her knowledge of science and poetry, Dr. Hargaden examines case studies tracing the relational process which involves the vulnerability of both therapist and client as change happens in them through complex relatedness. The author makes broad in depth theoretical links with humanistic and psychoanalytic perspectives which reveal the richness inherent in the term ‘Relational’. Themes explored include intersubjectivity, the use of the analyst’s subjectivity, mutuality, therapy as a two-way street, dissociation, enactment, the use of ‘the third’, race, gender and sexuality. Blending approachable language and themes with highly intellectual ideas, this text will be of high value and intrigue to a wide range of readers, particularly transactional analysts and relational psychotherapists.

Download or read book Of Bridges written by Thomas Harrison and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2021-04 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Always," wrote Philip Larkin, "it is by bridges that we live." Bridges represent our aspirations to connect, to soar across divides. And it is the unfinished business of these aspirations that makes bridges such stirring sights, especially when they are marvels of ingenuity. A rich compendium of myths, superstitions, literary and ideological figurations, as well as architectural and musical illustrations, Of Bridges organizes a poetic and philosophical history of bridges into nine thematic clusters. Leaping in lucid prose between seemingly unrelated times and places, Thomas Harrison gives a panoramic account of the diverse meanings and valences of human bridges, questioning why they are built and where they lead. He investigates bridges as flashpoints in war and the mega-bridges of our globalized world. He probes links forged by religion between life's transience and eternity and the consolidating ties of music, illustrated in a case study of the blues. He illuminates the real and symbolic crossings facing migrants each day and the affective connections that make persons and societies cohere. In fine and intricate readings of literature, philosophy, art, and geography, Harrison engages in a profound reflection on how bridges form and transform cultural communities. Interdisciplinary and deeply lyrical, Of Bridges is a mesmerizing, vertiginous tale of bridges both visible and invisible, both lived and imagined.

Download or read book Blood Ties Beyond Race written by Abdisa Kalbesa and published by AKalbesa. This book was released on 2024-03-15 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human diversity is a rich tapestry that goes far beyond the superficial distinctions of race. Our shared humanity transcends the boundaries that society has imposed on us. By reducing individuals to mere categories based on external factors, we overlook the intricate web of connections that binds us all together. When we acknowledge the profound interconnectedness of humanity, we begin to appreciate the beauty of our shared heritage. Our blood carries within it the stories of countless generations, weaving a common thread that binds us all together. Through this shared ancestry, we find a sense of unity that transcends the artificial barriers of race and ethnicity. Blood, the life force that pulses through our veins, serves as a powerful symbol of our shared humanity. It is a tangible reminder that beneath the surface, we are all connected by a common bond that transcends societal divisions. Regardless of our differences in wealth, power, or social status, our blood flows with the same life-giving vitality, indifferent to the external labels that seek to define us. In its purest form, blood knows no prejudice or bias. It does not discriminate based on race, gender, or background. It simply fulfills its essential purpose of nourishing and sustaining every individual with equal strength and determination. This unifying force of nature underscores the fundamental equality that exists among all human beings, reminding us that we are more alike than we are different. The universal nature of blood serves as a powerful metaphor for the interconnectedness of humanity. Just as our blood circulates throughout our bodies, carrying oxygen and nutrients to every cell, so too does our shared humanity bind us together in a web of mutual dependence and support. In times of crisis or need, it is this shared life force that unites us, inspiring acts of compassion, solidarity, and kindness that transcend the artificial barriers that divide us. By recognising the unifying power of our blood type, we can strive to build a more inclusive and compassionate world. We can embrace our shared humanity and work together to create a more just and equitable society, where the life-giving force that flows through our veins serves as a reminder of our inherent interconnectedness and shared responsibility to one another. Our blood is a powerful emblem of harmony, that goes beyond its mere medical significance. It signifies a shared bond that unites us all, regardless of race or ethnicity. Fundamentally, it is our shared blood that paves the way for a future where connections run deeper than the constraints of race. Our blood holds the key to our future—a future, where blood ties extend far beyond the realm of our respective race, and where the fallacies of racial disparities are finally laid to rest.
Download or read book Beyond the Therapeutic Relationship written by Frederic J. Leger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-16 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seeking to transfer knowledge across ideological boundaries within a theoretically valid, scientific framework, Beyond the Therapeutic Relationship draws upon and relates existing research from psychotherapy and the allied fields of human behavior. Author Frederic J. Leger has successfully cut across multifarious therapies to create an integrated, high-order theory that unites psychotherapy’s disparate forces. In the process, he addresses the theoretical underpinnings of the field of psychotherapy, the paradigm of the therapeutic relationship and its centrality to therapeutic change, the difficulties of creating a “scientific discipline” from the study of the psyche, and the factionalization of psychology into different competing schools. By exploring universal variables and how they fit into a causal nexus, Beyond the Therapeutic Relationship identifies transtheoretical processes of change that cut across diverse therapies. It also offers heuristic research direction and guidance in eclectic and integrative practice as it broadens the perspective on the psychotherapeutic encounter. Combining physiological, social, and psychological research into a transtheoretical psychodynamic theory, this important text discusses: why the need for paradigmatic direction is urgent bringing nonverbal variables to the therapist’s working awareness or focus how a small range of conceptual possibilities limits knowledge of human behavior the lack of efficacy in psychotherapy the psychobiological significance of intensive experiential exploration formation of the “self” through language and discourse integrative eclecticism within transtheoretical and common factors integration Psychologists, psychiatrists, mental health therapists, and academics and students in psychology, psychiatry, and educational psychology now have a text that cuts across the multitude of therapeutic approaches to provide a theory that is empirically supported and grounded in the author’s 25 years of clinical practice. As you will see, Beyond the Therapeutic Relationship discusses the current position of the field of psychotherapy, where it needs to go, specific strategies for getting there as well as alternative interventions beyond empathy and the therapeutic relationship.
Download or read book The Cosmic Romance with Existence written by Murali Dharan and published by Partridge Publishing Singapore. This book was released on 2022-04-10 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is a personal spiritual guide that walks with the readers to remove self-ignorance and realize higher self. It explains about pain and suffering, the blissful higher self and spiritual powers. In this book, the universe is called “existence.” The word existence is used because the universe exists within us and around us; the universe is omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient. Every human being has an innate light of consciousness. When people realize and connect with their conscious divine self, they gain wisdom, clairvoyance and spiritual intelligence. A deep, intimate relationship with existence gradually leads people to higher consciousness, self-realization, liberation and bliss. Self-realization or realizing the oneness with existence becomes a challenge when one is buried in self-ignorance, and sandwiched between a restless and hectic life. The chapters aim to help readers overcome daily battles and lead them to self-knowledge, serenity and success. The book emphasizes the sacred role of meditations in awakening the light of consciousness. It offers three guided meditations for the readers. This book is a great spiritual companion for anyone with the courage and fervent will to dive into the ocean of cosmic consciousness.

It fills a significant gap for scholars in the fields of voice studies, theatre studies, somatic studies, artistic research and pedagogy. It is also a vital read for graduate students, doctoral and postdoctoral researchers.
