Download or read book Borders Migration and Globalization written by Anna Rita Calabrò and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-10 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emergence of new and substantial human migration flows is one of the most important consequences of globalisation. While ascribable to widely differing social and economic causes, from the forced migration of refugees to upper-middle-class migration projects and the movement of highly skilled workers, what they have in common is the effect of contributing to a substantial global redefinition in terms of both identity and politics. This book contains contributions from scholars in the fields of law, social sciences, the sciences, and the liberal arts, brought together to delineate the features of the migration phenomena that will accompany us over the coming decades. The focus is on the multifaceted concept of 'border' as representing a useful stratagem for dealing with a topic like migration that requires analysis from several perspectives. The authors discuss the various factors and issues which must be understood in all their complexity so that they can be governed by all social stakeholders, free of manipulation and false consciousness. They bring an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective to the social phenomena such as human trafficking, unaccompanied foreign minors, or ethnic-based niches in the job market. The book will be a valuable guide for academics, students and policy-makers.

Download or read book Between Care and Justice written by Elena Pulcini and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2024-05-01 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elena Pulcini (1950–2021), an internationally renowned philosopher of care, was at the forefront of thinking and creating a new ethical framework to respond efficaciously to problems that affect individuals at a global level. This translation of Pulcini's last work addresses perhaps the two fundamental questions for our times—namely, "Why care for others when we are not bound by personal relationships?" and "Why commit to justice even when it does not personally affect us?" By focusing on passions such as indignation, fear, compassion, resentment, and love, Pulcini offers an alternative ethical perspective in which justice and care intertwine to supplement and balance each other. Together, care and justice are proven capable of addressing the challenge of the "other," distant in space (the outsider, the marginalized, and the migrant) and time (future generations). In the end, Pulcini proposes a form of moral education that nurtures and develops desirable moral sentiments for a more just world at the interpersonal, social, political, economic, and environmental levels, thereby providing an alternative social, global model to current individual-focused, rights-based, purely rationalist ethical systems.

This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A chi non è mai successo di avere qualche screzio sul posto di lavoro? Le difficoltà relazionali sono cose all'ordine del giorno. Cosa accade, però, se questi conflitti si dilatano nel tempo e divengono elemento di stress tanto da invadere altri campi dell'esistenza? Perché, poi, alcuni soggetti sono presi di mira in modo distruttivo da altri colleghi, capi o parigrado? Perché sembra che alcune persone si realizzino nel rendere il luogo di lavoro un inferno, e si fanno grandi rendendo più piccoli gli altri? Questo libro non si limita a rispondere alle più comuni curiosità circa il fenomeno mobbing e il disagio lavorativo ma mira ad essere un efficace strumento preventivo e d'aiuto per tutti coloro i quali hanno la sfortuna di presenziare quotidianamente in ecosistemi lavorativi critici, che ospitano, formano o supportano il mobber, un predatore psichico.

Download or read book Psychiatry of Pandemics written by Damir Huremović and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-15 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on how to formulate a mental health response with respect to the unique elements of pandemic outbreaks. Unlike other disaster psychiatry books that isolate aspects of an emergency, this book unifies the clinical aspects of disaster and psychosomatic psychiatry with infectious disease responses at the various levels, making it an excellent resource for tackling each stage of a crisis quickly and thoroughly. The book begins by contextualizing the issues with a historical and infectious disease overview of pandemics ranging from the Spanish flu of 1918, the HIV epidemic, Ebola, Zika, and many other outbreaks. The text acknowledges the new infectious disease challenges presented by climate changes and considers how to implement systems to prepare for these issues from an infection and social psyche perspective. The text then delves into the mental health aspects of these crises, including community and cultural responses, emotional epidemiology, and mental health concerns in the aftermath of a disaster. Finally, the text considers medical responses to situation-specific trauma, including quarantine and isolation-associated trauma, the mental health aspects of immunization and vaccination, survivor mental health, and support for healthcare personnel, thereby providing guidance for some of the most alarming trends facing the medical community. Written by experts in the field, Psychiatry of Pandemics is an excellent resource for infectious disease specialists, psychiatrists, psychologists, immunologists, hospitalists, public health officials, nurses, and medical professionals who may work patients in an infectious disease outbreak.

This book was released on 2021-11-25 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il primo rapporto annuale del CIRS – Centro Internazionale per la Ricerca Sociale nella scienza della salute, istituito presso l’Università UniCamillus di Roma nel 2020, punta sui concetti di sanità e cultura per favorire la ripartenza. Sanità e cultura, normalmente accumunati nel sintagma di uso comune di “cultura sanitaria”, sono qui mostrati e investigati in e da una prospettiva nuova, con lo scopo di creare un dibattito permanente sul tema, come in permanente trasformazione sono la società e la sanità. Al rapporto sono stati chiamati a contribuire professionisti di differenti ambiti, come quelli accademico, giornalistico-scientifico, dirigenziale medico e libero professionale. Il primo rapporto del CIRS non è però un libro bianco, piuttosto si configura come una serie di spunti interdisciplinari utili per affrontare argomenti di strettissima attualità.

Download or read book Una comunit sotto controllo written by Paolo Pistoi and published by FrancoAngeli. This book was released on 1981 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questa guida introduce il lettore alla Schema Therapy, una forma di psicoterapia cognitivo-comportamentale formulata, inizialmente, per trattare quei casi in cui gli schemi maladattivi impedivano di trarre beneficio dalla terapia cognitiva standard. La Schema Therapy integra approcci cognitivi, comportamentali, gestaltici ed esperienziali per promuovere il benessere psicologico delle persone con disturbi dell'Asse II o, in generale, con grossa resistenza al cambiamento. Il modello teorico e le strategie terapeutiche della Schema Therapy muovono dall'assunto che la mancata risposta a bisogni infantili primari comporta la creazione di schemi maladattivi mantenuti dalle diverse strategie di coping, cioè dai tentativi di fronteggiare la sofferenza connessa all'attivazione degli schemi. Come gli altri titoli della serie, anche questo si concentra sui 30 tratti fondamentali che distinguono la Schema Therapy dalle altre prospettive cognitivo-comportamentali. Diviso in due parti - Teoria e Pratica - nella prima sezione gli autori descriveranno le basi teoriche del modello, riporteranno una tassonomia degli Schemi ed esporranno l'approccio dei Mode. La seconda sezione sarà dedicata all'approfondimento della pratica e saranno riportate le diverse strategie terapeutiche: cognitive, comportamentali, esperienziali e relazionali. Saranno descritte inoltre, l'impiego della Schema Therapy, in alcune specifiche difficoltà psicopatologiche.

Download or read book Hitler non mai esistito written by Vittorio Pavoncello and published by Celid. This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "La memoria è un vasto spazio inclinato, che noi pensiamo in perfetto equilibrio, su cui gli oggetti, ovvero tutto ciò che sappiamo del già accaduto, scivolano, a volte in un attimo, verso l'oblio." Queste parole ricorda Furio Colombo di un incontro avuto con Oliver Sachs, che non ha mai teorizzato il problema (che infatti è politico e non medico) del contagio con cui si può indurre a rapide dimenticanze, si può arrivare all'immensa volgarità di negare la vittima di fronte alla vittima, di negare il delitto mentre si sta compiendo. Nelle pagine di questo libro Furio Colombo e Vittorio Pavoncello vogliono riportare in luce la forza del negazionismo (che resiste bene all'intensità, alla commozione, ma anche alla documentazione della memoria) e l'oscillante debolezza delle istituzioni che non hanno mai saldato la loro autorevolezza con la grandezza del crimine che si erano impegnate solennemente e per legge a non scolorire per non perdere il senso dalla vastità del crimine. Ha fatto scudo la calcificazione del fascismo, che vuole assurdamente continuare a essere opinione legittima come ogni altra opinione. Può esserci una opinione che non risponde del fatto che esalta? Pavoncello argomenta con forza il peso di ciò che è irreversibilmente accaduto, e da cui far ripartire la storia che ha visto nel conflitto 1939-45 la "prima guerra razziale" della storia. Furio Colombo porta a questo discorso due argomenti. Il primo è che il negazionismo inizia la serie oscura e tuttora impenetrata delle "fake news", la vita pubblica e gli eventi delle persone fondata sul falso, e il contesto alterato con raffinata e malefica invenzione. Il secondo argomento è la fascistizzazione più o meno conscia (popolo e cultura) di coloro che, in misura sempre più vasta, si arruolano nel nuovo negazionismo che rifiuta e irride senza esitazione anche il papa. Questo libro chiede di capire che, di nuovo, il pericolo è grande.

Download or read book The Friulian Language written by Rose Mucignat and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-06-02 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are minor languages the lifeblood of cherished local identities or just passports with restricted validity, serving no purpose in today’s transnational, global world? Italy’s north-eastern region of Friuli is a case in point: in this area, around half a million people speak Friulian, a Romance language of the Rhaeto-Romance family, which is attested to in written texts since 1150 and acquired official minority language status in 1999. Geographically and politically off-centre, Friuli remained isolated for a long part of its history and developed a unique language that sustained a distinctive identity and culture. Starting from the nineteenth century, large-scale migration towards Northern Europe and the Americas brought Friulian into contact with other languages and contexts of use. The Friulian Language: Identity, Migration, Culture is the first comprehensive study in English of this little-known language to consider its history and the variety of its cultural manifestations from antiquity to the present day. The volume gathers together the work of ten contributors who are specialists in the fields of history (Fulvio Salimbeni), law (William Cisilino), linguistics (Paola Benincà, Franco Finco, Fabiana Fusco and Carla Marcato), literary studies (Rosa Mucignat and Rienzo Pellegrini), and migration (Javier P. Grossutti and Olga Zorzi Pugliese). The focus of the book is on Friulian, its varieties, its linguistic characteristics and its use in literature from fourteenth-century ballads to Pier Paolo Pasolini, and more recent poetry by Novella Cantarutti and others. Equal attention is given to the Friulians themselves, the social and political transformations of the region, and the experience of migration, in particular the case of high-skilled mosaic craftsmen from the Alpine foothills. Thanks to its multidisciplinary approach, the book sheds light on the questions of why Friulian has developed the way it has, what its significance as a minor language is, and how it can negotiate its relationship to other languages on a global scale.

Download or read book Mental Health of Refugees written by World Health Organization and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to the recognition and management of mental health problems in refugees and other displaced persons. Prepared by WHO in collaboration with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the manual responds to growing awareness that the trauma, terror, loss and bereavement experienced by refugees can pose serious threats to their mental health. With this concern in mind, the manual aims to help non-specialist relief workers become alert to common mental health problems and competent in their management, whether involving simple relaxation exercises or referral to a medical specialist. The first training unit explains the basic principles of effective communication and sets out the steps to follow when developing a treatment plan. In view of the stress commonly experienced by refugees, the second unit describes several simple exercises that can help people relax, sleep better, and cope with stress. Functional complaints are covered in unit three, which includes advice on the difficult question of when to give medicines. Unit four provides a detailed guide to the recognition and management of common mental disorders. The most extensive chapter describes the special needs of refugee children, explains how to recognize their distinct mental health problems, and discusses the most appropriate types of help according to four age groups. Subsequent units offer guidance on the types of mental disorders that can be safely treated by traditional healers, and explain how to recognize and manage alcohol and other drug problems. The remaining units outline approaches for helping people who have experienced torture, other violence, or rape.

Download or read book The House of Others written by Silvio D'Arzo and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The illegitimate son of a fortune teller, Ezio Comparoni (1920-52) never knew his father, rarely left his home town, and admitted no one to his home. His deliberate obscurity was compounded by his use of many pseudonyms, including Silvio d'Arzo, under which he wrote the remarkable novella and three stories collected in The House of Others. The novella The House of Others is among the rare perfect works of twentieth century fiction. In a desolate mountain village an old woman visits the parish priest, ostensibly to ask about dissolving a marriage. Gradually, as she probes for information on "special cases"--cases in which what is obviously wrong can also be irrefutably right--it becomes clear her true question is whether or not she might take her own life. The question is metaphysical, involving not only the woman's life but the priest's; and to it he has no answer.
