Book Synopsis Wellness Counseling by : Paul F Granello
Download or read book Wellness Counseling written by Paul F Granello and published by Pearson Higher Ed. This book was released on 2013-04-09 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the eBook of the printed book and may not include any media, website access codes, or print supplements that may come packaged with the bound book. Developed by a professor who has been teaching a popular and innovative wellness counseling course for over a decade, this new text is organized into a format specifically designed to meet the needs of both counselor education graduate students and their teachers — making both teaching and learning the material easier and more intuitive. Giving a general but comprehensive overview of the subject of wellness, Wellness Counseling offers students a compelling balance of the science and research in the field, the theories that have emerged from this research, and the practical applications that we can take away from practicing these theories. Holistic, scientific, and ultimately concerned with the humanity of counseling, this text strives to be inclusive — especially of the psychological and social aspects of wellness that have gained more attention in recent years. The book is organized in three main sections. While Section One is concerned with the background of wellness as a healthcare paradigm in the United States and major theories of wellness, and historical context for wellness, Section Two contains specific information on the social, physical, emotional, and cognitive domains of wellness. The last main section of the book synthesizes the first two sections of the book to extract practical applications of wellness in behavioral healthcare intervention counseling.
Book Synopsis Visual Impairments by : National Research Council
Download or read book Visual Impairments written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2002-08-17 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When children and adults apply for disability benefits and claim that a visual impairment has limited their ability to function, the U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA) is required to determine their eligibility. To ensure that these determinations are made fairly and consistently, SSA has developed criteria for eligibility and a process for assessing each claimant against the criteria. Visual Impairments: Determining Eligibility for Social Security Benefits examines SSA's methods of determining disability for people with visual impairments, recommends changes that could be made now to improve the process and the outcomes, and identifies research needed to develop improved methods for the future. The report assesses tests of visual function, including visual acuity and visual fields whether visual impairments could be measured directly through visual task performance or other means of assessing disability. These other means include job analysis databases, which include information on the importance of vision to job tasks or skills, and measures of health-related quality of life, which take a person-centered approach to assessing visual function testing of infants and children, which differs in important ways from standard adult tests.

Download or read book Stress R Us written by Greeley Miklashek and published by . This book was released on 2018-04-20 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a compilation of what a neuropsychiatrist learned about the causes and cures of human diseases in his 41 year medical practice. I treated 25,000 of my fellows and wrote 1,000,000 Rx in the process. The book is divided into 51 Topics (chapters) and contains over 100 references. It serves as an historical review of the field of stress research as well as animal crowding research, as the two morphed together in my theory of "population density stress". Human overpopulation is a fact, as we have far exceeded the earth's carrying capacity for our species and mother nature is attempting to cull our numbers through our multitude of "diseases of civilization". Our hunter-gatherer contemporaries, living in their traditional manner in their clan social groups widely distributed in their ecosystem, have none of our diseases. As our extreme gene based altruism has brought us tremendous compassion and technological advances in caring for the diseases of our fellows, it has also brought us tremendous overpopulation and brought us near to ecological collapse. We must face our need to restrict our reproduction or mother nature will do it for us. A case in point: infertility in America has increased 100% in just 34 years, from 1982 to 2016. During the same period, our sperm counts have fallen 60%. No-one is willing to look at the obvious cause: neuro-endocrine inhibition of human reproduction resulting from population density stress. If any of this touches a nerve, please find the time in your busy, stressful day to stop for an hour and read this ground-breaking book. You may never have heard any of this information from any of your healthcare providers or the mass media. Big Pharma rules the minds of your healthcare providers and the mass media. At the end of my career as a practicing psychiatrist, I had become little more than a prescription writing machine and was actually instructed to "stop wasting time talking to your patients and just write their prescriptions". So, I retired and spent the next 5 years writing this book. I hope you find it as illuminating as I did doing the research on our epidemic of stress diseases. No wonder that we are ever more anxious and depressed, in spite of taking our 4,300,000,000 Rx every year! The real cure for our diseases of civilization must be a worldwide reduction in family size and a concerted effort to increase the opportunities for women to access education and work, as well as birth control. The alternative is increasing human disease and infertility from population density stress. Please read this book and tell me if you don't agree with my surprising conclusions. Good luck and God bless us one and all!

Book Synopsis Michelangelo’s Sculpture by : Leo Steinberg
Download or read book Michelangelo’s Sculpture written by Leo Steinberg and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2018-11-28 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leo Steinberg was one of the most original and daring art historians of the twentieth century, known for taking interpretative risks that challenged the profession by overturning reigning orthodoxies. In essays and lectures that ranged from old masters to contemporary art, he combined scholarly erudition with an eloquent prose that illuminated his subject and a credo that privileged the visual evidence of the image over the literature written about it. His works, sometimes provocative and controversial, remain vital and influential reading. For half a century, Steinberg delved into Michelangelo’s work, revealing the symbolic structures underlying the artist’s highly charged idiom. This volume of essays and unpublished lectures explicates many of Michelangelo’s most celebrated sculptures, applying principles gleaned from long, hard looking. Almost everything Steinberg wrote included passages of old-fashioned formal analysis, but here put to the service of interpretation. He understood that Michelangelo’s rendering of figures as well as their gestures and interrelations conveys an emblematic significance masquerading under the guise of naturalism. Michelangelo pushed Renaissance naturalism into the furthest reaches of metaphor, using the language of the body and its actions to express fundamental Christian tenets once expressible only by poets and preachers—or, as Steinberg put it, in Michelangelo’s art, “anatomy becomes theology.” Michelangelo’s Sculpture is the first in a series of volumes of Steinberg’s selected writings and unpublished lectures, edited by his longtime associate Sheila Schwartz. The volume also includes a book review debunking psychoanalytic interpretation of the master’s work, a light-hearted look at Michelangelo and the medical profession and, finally, the shortest piece Steinberg ever published.
Book Synopsis Charting the Future of Translation History by : Paul F. Bandia
Download or read book Charting the Future of Translation History written by Paul F. Bandia and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2006-07-28 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last 30 years there has been a substantial increase in the study of the history of translation. Both well-known and lesser-known specialists in translation studies have worked tirelessly to give the history of translation its rightful place. Clearly, progress has been made, and the history of translation has become a viable independent research area. This book aims at claiming such autonomy for the field with a renewed vigour. It seeks to explore issues related to methodology as well as a variety of discourses on history with a view to laying the groundwork for new avenues, new models, new methods. It aspires to challenge existing theoretical and ideological frameworks. It looks toward the future of history. It is an attempt to address shortcomings that have prevented translation history from reaching its full disciplinary potential. From microhistory, archaeology, periodization, to issues of subjectivity and postmodernism, methodological lacunae are being filled. Contributors to this volume go far beyond the text to uncover the role translation has played in many different times and settings such as Europe, Africa, Latin America, the Middle-east and Asia from the 6th century to the 20th. These contributions, which deal variously with the discourses on methodology and history, recast the discipline of translation history in a new light and pave the way to the future of research and teaching in the field.

Download or read book American Judaism written by Nathan Glazer and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1957, Nathan Glazer's classic, historical study of Judaism in America has been described by the New York Times Book Review as "a remarkable story . . . told briefly and clearly by an objective historical mind, yet with a fine combination of sociological insight and religious sensitivity." Glazer's new introduction describes the drift away from the popular equation of American Judaism with liberalism during the last two decades and considers the threat of divisiveness within American Judaism. Glazer also discusses tensions between American Judaism and Israel as a result of a revivified Orthodoxy and the disillusionment with liberalism. "American Judaism has been arguably the best known and most used introduction to the study of the Jewish religion in the United States. . . . It is an inordinately clear-sighted work that can be read with much profit to this day."—American Jewish History (1987)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This reference offers the nuanced understanding and practical guidance needed to address domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking in diverse religious communities. Introductory chapters sort through the complexities, from abusers' distorting of sacred texts to justifying their actions to survivors' conflicting feelings toward their faith. The core of the book surveys findings on gender violence across Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Eastern, and Indigenous traditions--both attitudes that promote abuse and spiritual resources that can be used to promote healing. Best practices are included for appropriate treatment of survivors, their children, and abusers; and for partnering with communities and clergy toward stemming violence against women. Among the topics featured: Ecclesiastical policies vs. lived social relationships: gender parity, attitudes, and ethics. Women’s spiritual struggles and resources to cope with intimate partner aggression. Christian stereotypes and violence against North America’s native women. Addressing intimate partner violence in rural church communities. Collaboration between community service agencies and faith-based institutions. Providing hope in faith communities: creating a domestic violence policy for families. Religion and Men's Violence against Women will gain a wide audience among psychologists, social workers, marriage and family therapists, and other mental health professionals who treat religious clients or specialize in treating survivors and perpetrators of domestic and intimate partner violence, stalking, sexual assault, rape, or human trafficking.
