With contributions by Paula Morgan-Johnson, Paula Sacks, Caroline R. Baltzer, James Hickey, Andrea Cole, Jan Bloom, and Deirdre Fay. Attachment Disturbances in Adults is a landmark resource for (1) understanding attachment, its development, and the most clinically relevant findings from attachment research, and (2) using this understanding to inform systematic, comprehensive, and clinically effective and efficient treatment of attachment disturbances in adults. It offers an innovative therapeutic model and set of methods for treating adult patients with dismissing, anxious-preoccupied, or disorganized attachment. In rich detail, it integrates historical and leading-edge attachment research into practical, effective treatment protocols for each type of insecure attachment. Case transcripts and many sample therapist phrasings illustrate how to apply the methods in practice. Part I, "Foundational Concepts," features a comprehensive overview of the field of attachment, including its history, seminal ideas, and existing knowledge about the development of attachment bonds and behaviors. Part II, "Assessment," addresses the assessment of attachment disturbances. It includes an overview of attachment assessment for the clinician and a trove of practical recommendations for assessing patients'' attachment behavior and status both outside of and within the therapeutic relationship. In Part III, "Treatment," the authors not only review existing treatment approaches for attachment disorders in adults, but also introduce an unprecedented, powerful new treatment method. This method, the "Three Pillars" model, is built on three essential clinical ingredients: 1. Systematically utilizing ideal parent figure imagery to develop a new positive, stable internal working model of secure attachment 2. Fostering a range of metacognitive skills 3. Fostering nonverbal and verbal collaborative behavior in treatment Used together, these interdependent pillars form a unified and profoundly effective method of treatment for attachment disturbances in adults—a must for any clinician. In Part IV, "Type-Specific Treatment," readers will learn specific variations of the three treatment pillars to maximize efficacy with each type of insecure attachment. Finally, Part V, "A Treatment Guide and Expected Outcomes," describes treatment in a step-by-step format and provides a success-assessment guide for the Three Pillars approach. This book is a comprehensive educational resource and a deeply practical clinical guide. It offers clinicians a complete set of tools for effective and efficient treatment of adult patients with attachment disturbances.

ORIGENS, TENDÊNCIAS E PRÁTICAS MUÇULMANAS NO MUNDO CONTEMPORÂNEO O que os cristãos precisam saber sobre os muçulmanos, o fundador do islã, seu livro sagrado e suas tradições? "Uma Nova Introdução ao Islã" apresenta as questões históricas, religiosas, sociais e geográficas que influenciaram a tradição islâmica e sua compreensão sobre Deus, Jesus, ética e outros assuntos que moldaram o pensamento e a formação da religião islâmica. Uma obra abrangente e que se tornou um clássico. Escrita por um notável acadêmico cristão, que oferece ao leitor os estudos mais recentes, as tendências, bem como a complexa relação do Ocidente com o islã, o radicalismo islâmico e a disseminação do islamismo para a Europa e as Américas, é ricamente ilustrada. Por que ler o livro • Para saber mais sobre o Alcorão, Maomé e a influência islâmica • Para conhecer melhor os principais personagens, os acontecimentos e o contexto cultural do islã. • Conteúdo ricamente ilustrado, além de glossário, índice de nomes e mapas Aplicações do tema • Como os cristãos devem se aproximar e conversar com os muçulmanos? • O que é e o que dizer sobre o radicalismo islâmico? • O que sabemos sobre a teologia islâmica e a relação do Ocidente com o islã? *** O QUE DISSERAM "Uma Nova Introdução ao Islã" ajuda o leitor a ter uma compreensão mais sólida sobre os principais personagens e acontecimentos ao descrever os primórdios do islã, seu desenvolvimento e o impacto que essa religião e seus seguidores têm tido – positiva e negativamente – sobre a história nos últimos quatorze séculos. Para Daniel Brown, "o processo de formação do islã, dos seus livros sagrados e de suas conquistas territoriais foram mais longos e complexos do que se costuma afirmar, já que "religiões e civilizações não emergem totalmente formadas do deserto; os nômades não se transformam da noite para o dia em teólogos, juristas, lexicógrafos e teóricos políticos". Enfim, vários dos temas presentes em Uma Nova Introdução ao Islã são pouco abordados por autores cristãos na literatura disponível no Brasil – teologia e filosofia islâmicas, a sharia, o sufismo, a complexa relação do Ocidente com o islã, os desafios que o islã encontra ao se deparar com o pluralismo, o liberalismo, o feminismo e – como não? – com o radicalismo islâmico. – Marcos Amado

Les troubles dissociatifs sont une réponse aux traumas extrêmes subis pendant l’enfance et ancrés dans la mémoire. Ces troubles se manifestent par une altération de la conscience avec des pertes fonctionnelles (amnésie, troubles de l’identité, paralysie, pertes de sensations...) ou des intrusions (flashbacks, voix...). Souvent confondus avec d’autres pathologies, notamment les psychoses dissociatives, ils sont un concept fondamental en psychotraumatologie et posent de difficiles problèmes médicolégaux en criminologie. Ce livre, premier du genre en langue française, fait le point sur la recherche scientifique concernant les troubles dissociatifs, ses expressions cliniques et leur traitement.

"From its opening lines, Daniel Brown''s Taking the Occasion sounds a new note in poetry. In poem after poem, Mr. Brown plays urban speech rhythms across the back-beat of meter and rhyme. Distinctive in matter as well as in manner, Taking the Occasion addresses topics ranging from baseball to the birth of God. In a time when subjects are viewed by many poets as suspect, Mr. Brown demonstrates the abiding power of an arresting premise. His work repeatedly sounds emotional or philosophical depths yet isn''t above eliciting a laugh in the process. If contemporary poetry has lost the large and enthusiastic audience a vital art requires, the pleasure-giving profundity of Taking the Occasion just may help forge a reconnection."--BOOK JACKET.

Great Britain''s passage of the Transportation Act of 1718 was intended to relieve Great Britain of an unwanted criminal element while at the same time providing much needed labor for her North American colonies. This thesis argues that the legislative body of Virginia initially responded by passing legislation intended to limit the dangers presented by the introduction of convict servants into the colony. However, the significant demand for labor in Virginia resulted in the colony receiving a substantial share of those convicts transported to North America. Contemporaries argued that the importation of convict servants led to an increase in crime. This study employs the court records of eighteen counties in Colonial Virginia. The author contends that the evidence reveals that theft was the most common criminal activity of convict servants in Virginia. However, despite claims to the contrary, convict servants did not commit crimes in excess of their percentage of the tithable population. Moreover, over the course of the eighteenth-century justices county justices increasingly relied on providing lighter sentences than that prescribed by the law. This enabled planters to punish the criminal while maintaining control over their labor. The last chapter moves away from the legal system of Virginia and examines the opportunities the American Revolution provided to convict servants.
