Book excerpt: "This is the first published English translation of Francesco Alfieri’s fencing treatise: “La Scherma”, first published in Padua in 1640. Alfieri was the Master at Arms at the Accademia Delia in Padua, Italy from 1632. The Delia was a school attached to the University of Padua teaching young gentlemen military skills, mathematics and the martial arts of self defence. It is not widely appreciated that Europe has martial arts traditions that are centuries old. Contained within this book is a description of one of these European combat systems ~ the art of fighting with the Rapier ~ a long, slender, civilian sword designed for self defence and dueling. The ability to wield such a weapon with skill was a matter of vital importance in an age when the defence of honour and, by definition, the immortal soul, could be more important than life itself. Alfieri’s concise system is a very practical and effective way to address this need. It is an excellent resource for all students of historical swordplay and anyone interested in the martial arts of Renaissance Europe." -- Amazon.com

Download or read book Cognitive Behavioral Play Therapy written by Susan M. Knell and published by Jason Aronson, Incorporated. This book was released on 1995-10-01 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cognitive-Behavioral Play Therapy (CBPT) incorporates cognitive and behavioral interventions within a play therapy paradigm. It provides a theoretical framework based on cognitive-behavioral principles and integrates these in a developmentally sensitive way. Thus, play as well as verbal and nonverbal approaches are used in resolving problems. CBPT differs from nondirective play therapy, which avoids any direct discussion of the child's difficulties. A specific problem-solving approach is utilized, which helps the child develop more adaptive thoughts and behaviors. Cognitive-behavioral therapies are based on the premise that cognitions determine how people feel and act, and that faulty cognitions can contribute to psychological disturbance. Cognitive-behavioral therapies focus on identifying maladaptive thoughts, understanding the assumptions behind the thoughts, and learning to correct or counter the irrational ideas that interfere with healthy functioning. Since their development approximately twenty-five years ago, such therapies have traditionally been used with adults and only more recently with adolescents and children. It has commonly been thought that preschool-age and school-age children are too young to understand or correct distortions in their thinking. However, the recent development of CBPT reveals that cognitive strategies can be used effectively with young children if treatments are adapted in order to be developmentally sensitive and attuned to the child's needs. For example, while the methods of cognitive therapy can be communicated to adults directly, these may need to be conveyed to children indirectly, through play activities. In particular, puppets and stuffed animals can be very helpful in modeling the use of cognitive strategies such as countering irrational beliefs and making positive self-statements. CBPT is structured and goal oriented and intervention is directive in nature.

Download or read book Reeds in the Wind written by Grazia Deledda and published by Italica Pr. This book was released on 1999 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rugged landscape of Baronia on Sardinia sets the scene for this novel of crime, guilt and retribution. This novel presents the story of the Pintor sisters - from a family of noble landowners now in decline - their nephew Giacinto, and their servant Efix, who is trying to make up for a mysterious sin committed many years before. Around, below, and inside them the raging Mediterranean storms, the jagged mountains, the murmuring forests, and the gushing springs form a Greek chorus of witness to the tragic drama of this unforgiving land. Deledda tells her story with her characteristic love of the natural landscape and fascination with the folk culture of the island, with details about the famous religious festivals held in mountain encampments and the lore of the "dark beings who populate the Sardinian night, the fairies who live in rocks and caves, and the sprites with seven red caps who bother sleep." Introduction by the Sardinian ethnographer, Dolores Turchi.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enrico Corte (1963) vive e lavora a New York e Roma. Adotta fin dal suo esordio un ruolo antinomico rispetto alle modalità abituali del fare arte, scegliendo di mostrare &"ciò che non si vuol vedere&", il lato oscuro della creatività che spesso confina col suo opposto, ossia con l&'autodistruzione. Corte si colloca lontano sia dal gusto tipicamente italiano per la &"leggerezza&" sia dalla ricerca dello scandalo a tutti i costi, trovando invece inedite forme di bellezza plastica, fatali fascinazioni di fronte all&'Ignoto. Capovolgendo le regole stabilite del mercato dell&'arte, che vorrebbero l&'artista specializzato in un singolo &"segno&" riconoscibile nel tempo, Corte è intervenuto direttamente nel sociale tramite una moltiplicazione di stili, tecniche e soluzioni estetiche sufficienti per attrarre l&'attenzione del suo pubblico e condurlo nei territori del turbamento e vertigine. I temi del pieno e del vuoto, e dell&'equilibrio delle forme - tipici dell&'arte scultorea classica - subiscono nuove metamorfosi e divengono metafore tragicomiche di un malessere sociale. In questa monografia su Corte, un saggio critico di Gianluca Marziani analizza una selezione di opere secondo un&'ottica &"spettrospettiva&" che annulla i concetti tradizionali di Evoluzione e Maturità. Attraverso questa interpretazione, il lavoro di Corte si colloca in una dimensione neurale, imitando lo sviluppo labirintico che regola il macrocosmo dei più oscuri ed inquietanti processi cerebrali.
