This book was released on 2015-05-07 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Rhythmic Movement Method, author Dr. Harald Blomberg explains why rhythmic movement is more useful than drugs in treating ADHD and many other disorders. Based on the spontaneous rhythmic movements of infants, these actions are necessary for the development of the brain, motor abilities, emotions, and mental faculties. He introduces his method-rhythmic movement training-and describes how simple healing exercises stimulate the ability of the brain and the nervous system to renew itself and create new connections. Blomberg shares how these exercises help people develop and mature or heal physically, emotionally, and mentally. With case studies included, The Rhythmic Movement Method helps children with ADHD and adults suffering from depression, psychosis, Parkinson's disease, and other disorders to feel well, function better, and stop taking medications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book of movements is a musical method for rhythmic development that, although it is ideal for drummers and percussionists of any style or instrument, is aimed at musicians in general, whether singers, pianists, bassists, guitarists, etc. who wish to maximize their musical potential by strengthening their rhythmic and animic senses.In this volume (1) it is about movements in binary metric of 8/8 ( eighth eighths)Instrumentalists, improvisers and composers, both rhythmic, melodic or harmonic, have in this method a vast amount of resources that facilitate the incorporation and articulation of thousands of RHYTHMIC PATTERNS that, when exercised, shape their own MOVEMENT LANGUAGE and directly enhance the creative flow. .Rhythm is one of the vital and structural forces in existence, we can see it as a powerful spirit of the movements that order events in nature.Taken this concept to the musical plane, the rhythm itself through repetition, gives direction, fluidity and above all, FORM and STRUCTUREEach musical phrase is a physical (or ethereal) object with defined contours and shapes, and precisely the exact definition of those contours and shapes is created mainly by rhythmic movement.Take the example of a chord or a melody, without rhythm, they are amorphous, they do not have duration or pauses, they lack powerful energy, they lack defined forms.As musicians we can know about scales, arpeggios, harmony, reading etc. But for these elements to take on a vital and dynamic meaning, expressing it metaphorically - we must apply the breath of a god on a (clay) doll that is transformed into a being of flesh and blood with a soul, we must give shape and life to our music. through rhythmic movement.By incorporating these concepts, based on expanding the soul and rhythmic awareness, we will haveacquired a great tool to explore our creativity and then the more concrete and rich our music will be.

Download or read book The Conformists written by Evgenija Garbolevsky and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2011-05-25 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The complexities and paradoxes of the Bulgarian film industry during the era of Communist rule (1945-1989) are explored.... This influential industry was mobilized for the needs of the state. During its creation and development, cultural institutions and those involved in film production operated within a relatively closed system, based on rewards and punishments imposed by the Communist bureaucratic apparatus. Sub-textual content in films produced in Bulgaria during this period highlights the attitude of the elite towards the regime. Understanding this multifaceted relationship helps explain why so many intellectuals found the film industry to be an attractive field in which to work, and decided to remain loyal to the regime instead of leaving or openly rebelling against it. This work challenges the historiographical perception that the arts in the Eastern Bloc during the Cold War were largely unsuccessful vehicles of propaganda and dissent. By using a comparative methodological approach, the cinema arts in the East and West are shown following similar paths despite the Iron Curtain."--Provided by publisher.

Download or read book Beyond the Sea Squirt written by Moira Dempsey and published by . This book was released on 2019-05-17 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the most fundamental level the only reason we have a brain is because we move. To develop the ability to feel and think actually requires movement as a first step. Sea squirts illustrate this well. Sea squirt larvae have a very rudimentary brain and nervous system. However, they have no mouth or way to feed. The larvae are able to move to the sea floor where they cement themselves head first and this is where they will stay. As the sea squirt will never move from that spot it no longer needs its brain and nervous system so it starts absorbing it. This absorption gives the larvae enough nutrients to be able to build the circulatory, digestive and reproductive systems necessary to sustain its existence.It is because we move that we develop a brain that, eventually, is able to perform very complex tasks. It is the primitive reflex programme that provides the initial stimulus to develop the movement patterns that ultimately become our ability to move with coordination, ease and grace against gravity. It is movement that grows the brain that lays the foundation to understand the world. It is movement that develops the neurology that allows us to be creative, think, solve problems, control impulses and connect to others. It is movement that provides us with the ability to manipulate tools and develop technology. It is movement that takes us Beyond the Sea Squirt.RMTi follows a drug free approach to postural, learning, sensory, emotional and behavioural challenges. It does this by using movements and activities that replicate the innate movements made by a developing foetus and infant that are necessary to integrate primitive reflexes, establish life-long movement patterns, grow the brain, develop head control and muscle tone.Beyond the Sea Squirt is for those interested in RMTi and the stories of some of those who have used the programme to make beneficial changes.
Download or read book A Perception action Approach to Rhythmic Movement Coordination written by Andrew David Wilson and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coordinated rhythmic movement is very specifically structured in humans. 0° mean relative phase (the two oscillating limbs doing the same thing at the same time) is easy and stable; 180° (the two limbs doing the opposite thing at the same time) is less stable; and no other relative phase is stable without training. The present study explored the identity and role of the perceptual information used in rhythmic movement coordination tasks in creating this pattern. 4 participants were trained to improve their perceptual resolution of 90° over a two week period. This training resulted in improved movement stability in a rhythmic movement coordination task, without additional practice of the task itself. Improved ability to detect the information at 90° allowed for improved performance in a movement task at 90°. In a second study, we systematically perturbed three aspects of the coordinated motion of two dots on a computer screen, and tested the effect of these perturbations on the same 4 participants. In line with predictions based on previous modeling results, perturbations that disrupted perceptual information about peak velocity and peak amplitude disrupted participants' ability to perform the task; this information allows rescaling of velocity information and is vital for stable perception of the underlying information (the relative direction of motion). Perturbations that increased the magnitude of the relative speed between the dots added noise to the task, again as predicted. Relative direction proved impossible to perturb, independently of mean relative phase, suggesting it has a vital role in the task. We conclude that the information used in rhythmic movement coordination tasks is both the phase (position within a cycle) and the relative phase, instantiated as the relative direction of motion. Movement stability is a function of perceptual stability, and improving the latter improves the former. The results are explained within a perception-action framework, in which perceptual information is an integral part of the organization of a perception-action dynamical system.
Download or read book From the Couch to the Circle written by John Schlapobersky and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-05 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recipient of the 2017 Anne Alonso Award for Excellence in Psychodynamic Group Therapy, conferred by the Group Foundation for Advancing Mental Health, part of the American Group Psychotherapy Association. From the Couch to the Circle: Group-Analytic Psychotherapy in Practice is a handbook of group therapy and a guide to the group-analytic model - the prevailing form of group therapy in Europe. The book draws on both John Schlapobersky’s engagement as a practitioner and the words and experience of people in groups as they face psychotherapy’s key challenges - understanding and change. This book provides a manual of practice for therapists’ use that includes detailed descriptions of groups at work; accounts of therapists’ own experience and the issues they face in themselves and in their groups. The book is devoted to the Group-Analytic model but the other principally psychodynamic models of group therapy - the Tavistock, Interpersonal, Psychodynamic, Modern Analytic and Structural/Systemic models - are brought into a comparative discussion and drawn upon to create an integrated and coherent approach. The book is divided into three sections: Foundations – aimed at practitioners using groups of any kind and working at every level, including those providing supportive psychotherapy and providing groups for psychosis, trauma, the elderly, people at risk, the elderly and children; The Group-Analytic Model – defines the group-analytic model at a basic and advanced level; The Dynamics of Change – aimed at group analysts, psychotherapists and psychologists providing short-term psychotherapy and long-term group analysis The book is illustrated with clinical vignettes including incisive, instructive commentaries to explain the concepts in use. It is intended for those seeking psychotherapy, whether to resolve personal problems or to find new sources of meaning in their lives. It is also intended for policy-makers in mental health, students of different models of psychotherapy and the psychosocial field. The comparative discussion running through the text about methods and models of practice will likely be of interest to the wider mental health and psychotherapy fields. The author draws together the inherited wisdom of group analysis since Foulkes’ time and makes his own lasting contribution. From the Couch to the Circle will be an invaluable, accessible resource for psychotherapists, psychoanalysts, psychologists, family therapists, academics, psychologists, mental health practitioners, academics and teachers in psychotherapy.

Book excerpt: Authored by members of the British Bobath Tutors Association, Bobath Concept: Theory and Clinical Practice in Neurological Rehabilitationis a practical illustrated guide that offers a detailed exploration of the theoretical underpinning and clinical interventions of the Bobath Concept. The evolution of the Bobath concept is brilliantly captured in this volume. The recognition that the best inhibition may come from engaging the patient in normal activities is an example of the way one of the notions central to the original Bobath Concept has developed. In short, the Bobath Concept lies at the heart of an approach to neurorehabilitation that is ready to take advantage of the rapidly advancing understanding, coming from neuroscience, of brain function in, in particular, of the effects of and responses to damage, and the factors that may drive recovery. It is no coincidence that neuroplasticity figures so prominently in the pages that follow.’ Emeritus Professor Raymond Tallis BM BCh BA FRCP FMedSci LittD DLitt FRSA This book guides the reader through general principles to more specific application of neurophysiological principles and movement re-education in the recovery of important areas, including moving between sitting and standing, locomotion and recovery of upper limb function. Bobath Concept: Theory and Clinical Practice in Neurological Rehabilitationwill be invaluable to undergraduate and qualified physiotherapists /occupational therapists and all professionals working in neurological rehabilitation. Covers the theoretical underpinning of the Bobath Concept. Presents a holistic, 24-hour approach to functional recovery. Focuses on efficient movement and motor learning, to maximise function. Forges links between theory and clinical practice. Illustrated throughout.
Download or read book Rhythms of the Brain written by G. Buzsáki and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies of mechanisms in the brain that allow complicated things to happen in a coordinated fashion have produced some of the most spectacular discoveries in neuroscience. This book provides eloquent support for the idea that spontaneous neuron activity, far from being mere noise, is actually the source of our cognitive abilities. It takes a fresh look at the coevolution of structure and function in the mammalian brain, illustrating how self-emerged oscillatory timing is the brain's fundamental organizer of neuronal information. The small-world-like connectivity of the cerebral cortex allows for global computation on multiple spatial and temporal scales. The perpetual interactions among the multiple network oscillators keep cortical systems in a highly sensitive "metastable" state and provide energy-efficient synchronizing mechanisms via weak links. In a sequence of "cycles," György Buzsáki guides the reader from the physics of oscillations through neuronal assembly organization to complex cognitive processing and memory storage. His clear, fluid writing-accessible to any reader with some scientific knowledge-is supplemented by extensive footnotes and references that make it just as gratifying and instructive a read for the specialist. The coherent view of a single author who has been at the forefront of research in this exciting field, this volume is essential reading for anyone interested in our rapidly evolving understanding of the brain.
