Psychotherapy and Spirituality: Integrating the Spiritual Dimension into Therapeutic Practice

Psychotherapy and Spirituality: Integrating the Spiritual Dimension into Therapeutic Practice
Agneta Schreurs | 1900-01-01 00:00:00 | Jessica Kingsley Publishers | 313 | Compulsive Behavior
This detailed study of the interface between psychotherapy and spirituality introduces professionally trained psychotherapists and mental health specialists to the subject of spirituality and the influence it may have in a therapeutic context. The majority of psychotherapists receive no formal training in the psychology of religion, or handle it with insufficient skill, feeling uncomfortable and ill-equipped to deal with the spiritual concerns of patients. Psychotherapy and Spirituality contributes to the development of professional know-how in the field of spirituality in a straightforward and practical way, avoiding complex doctrinal terminology.

Small Objects from the Pnyx I (Hesperia Supplement)

Small Objects from the Pnyx I (Hesperia Supplement)
Gladys R. Davidson,Dorothy Burr Thompson | 1943-11-21 00:00:00 | American School of Classical Studies | 172 | Greece

The range of material discarded by citizens attending the Athenian assembly on the Pnyx hill is hardly notable for its art historical interest. However, this catalogue of different sorts of objects found during excavations between 1931 and 1937 provides interesting insights into the social history of the city, especially ca. 425-325 B.C. when use of the Pnyx was at its height. The catalogue of each class of object is preceded by a short introductory essay. The book includes discussion of inscriptions, Dikasts' name-plates, coins, weights, graffiti and dipinti, sculpture, lamps, loomweights, spindle whorls, implements, fittings and molds, jewelry, seal impressions, votive objects, glass, and figurines.

Mentorship in Community Nursing: Challenges and Opportunities

Mentorship in Community Nursing: Challenges and Opportunities
Judith Canham,Joanne Bennett | 2002-01-03 00:00:00 | Wiley-Blackwell | 240 | Health Policy
The importance of the community practice teacher is increasing with the expansion in primary care. Universities around the country have developed courses for practice educators to provide definitive training for that role - there are currently few texts that support these courses directly.

This book aims to redress this by covering eight specialist areas of community practice: district nursing, health visiting, school nursing, children's community health nursing, community nursing mental health, community nursing learning disability, general practice nursing and occupational health nursing. The emphasis is strongly on practical issues rather than theory and each section considers practice-based dilemmas and offers appropriate debate.

Just What I Needed
As a filmmaking beginning to learn the craft, I found this book very helpful. It lays out all the information anyone needs to know to get started or to improve lighting techniques. It covers everything from the basics to more complex theories and methods. The information is laid out very well, not to become too overwhelming to the reader. The Author draws from his own experience and insights to help guide the reader in the right direction. It is a must have for any filmmakers library.

User review
Great text for beginners and experts alike
This book covers the subject clearly, quickly and without too much technical jargon; it's stuffed with wonderful visual illustrations, exercises and is formatted quite well.

It's (as is any book these days) a bit pricey, but worth every cent if you're serious about improving the quality of your work.

User review
Great information!
I got this book out of the library to read as a preparation for doing lighting on a low-budget movie I'm planning. Long story short, I devoured the book, then had to renew it so I could read it again and again.


People with big expensive lights will love the clear use of big expensive lighting equipment.


People who know nothing about lighting (like I did before I got this book) and have no money (like me) will love the low-budget chapter, and specifically the `spit and gaffer's tape` (author's words) list of equipment for those of us without deep pockets.

Everything You Need To Know, and Interesting Too!
This is an amazing book. The guy is a true pro and explains everything you need to know to get takes that look professional on the first try.


The book is really well written and organized. I blows by while you learn all the hows and whys of lighting video.


I recomend this to anyone who feels that they are not at the professional level with lighting yet. It will change your life.

User review
Enlightening book
Overall, I think this book is very easy to read. The author starts with the basic elements of lighting and builds on that foundation. I am using it with a lighting for video class that I am enrolled in, but would be very helpful by itself. The pictures really help to guide the process and set up your lighting scenerios properly.

How Things Persist

How Things Persist
Katherine Hawley | 2004-01-01 00:00:00 | Oxford University Press | 262 | Philosophy
interestingly the book doesn't start very promising, but towards the end it gets better and better. The only weakness is that sometimes she dismisses three-dimensionalist explanations too quickly. Hawley's views are often contraintuitive, but she is smart (in the good sense) in explaining philosophical worries away. I recommend this book for everyone interested in the metaphysics of persistence.
