Thompson Twin

release date: Jan 01, 2000
Thompson Twin
In 1982, a week after graduating, Michael White and his fiancee Jan joined the Thompson Twins pop group as they stood on the brink of international fame. But what should have been a fairy-tale success story turned sour when she fell in love with the band''s manager. This is the story of how Michael transformed himself from Essex schoolboy-with-guitar to a member of one of the most successful bands of the early 1980s, whose hits included ''Doctor, Doctor'', ''Hold Me Now'' and ''We Are Detective''. It is also an insider''s tale of life in a pop group and a memoir of the decade that gave us the Filofax, power suits and Big Hair. Highly personal yet of universal appeal, THOMPSON TWIN is a funny and moving tale of boy meets girl, boy and girl become international pop stars, boy loses girl . . .

Partisan or Neutral?

release date: Jun 12, 1997
Partisan or Neutral?
Partisan or Neutral? critically examines the Rawlsian ideal of a public, supposedly neutral, political theory meant to justify contemporary constitutional democracies. Placing this ideal-appealed to by neo-natural law theorists and advocates of ''public theology'' as well as by political theorists-against the background of the history of political liberalism, White shows its contradictory nature. He argues that any such legitimating theory will be ''partisan,'' in the sense of appealing to convictions concerning the human good that will not be universally accepted. He concludes that all politics must be imperfect-a matter of pragmatism and prudence in forming the most workable compromises possible and in acquiescing, where our principles allow us to do so, in situations that are often far from optimal.

release date: Jan 01, 1997

Narratives of Therapists' Lives

release date: Jan 01, 1997
Narratives of Therapists' Lives
Today it is commonplace to hear therapists speak of experiences of demoralisation, burden, fatigue and despair. This book proposes that this is significantly an outcome of how therapy is conceived of and practised, and draws out alternative conceptions and practices of therapy, supervision and training that provide a powerful antidote to despair. Readers will be provided with options for taking narrative practices unto their own lives - options that will reinvigorate and renew.

Medios narrativos para fines terapéuticos
Los dos grandes territorios que Epston y White exploran para nosotros en este libro son los siguientes: por un lado, el asunto de la externalizacion del problema; por otro, y consecuentemente, la variedad de formas en que podemos usar terapeuticamente la palabra escrita. De este modo, y a traves de numerosos ejemplos, el lector puede elegir entre una gran variedad de nuevas intervenciones y cosechar asi los frutos de un nuevo terreno que ya ha sido cuidadosamente arado, regado y sembrado para nosotros. Al final, Epston y White nos invitan a preguntarnos: ?como podemos hacer posible la escritura de relatos personales y colectivos que liberen y curen, cuando los relatos dominantes estan tan saturados de problemas? Al publicar este libro, los autores estan compartiendo algunos de sus descubrimientos en relacion con este interrogante. ?Cual es la disposicion del profesional a unirse a ellos en esta exploracion y a dotarse de habilidades en el uso de medios literarios para reanimar la vida de sus clientes y de sus familias?
