Musical Pathways in Recovery Community Music Therapy and Mental Wellbeing

Musical Pathways in Recovery Community Music Therapy and Mental Wellbeing

Music triggered a healing process from within me. I started singing for the joy of singing myself and it helped me carry my recovery beyond the state I was in before I fell ill nine years ago to a level of well-being that I haven't had perhaps for thirty years. This book explores the experiences of people who took part in a vibrant musical community for people experiencing mental health difficulties SMART (St Mary Abbotts Rehabilitation and Training). Ansdell (a music therapist/researcher) and DeNora (a music sociologist) describe their long-term ethnographic work with this group charting the creation and development of a unique music project that won the 2008 Royal Society for Public Health Arts and Health Award. Ansdell and DeNora track the 'musical pathways' of a series of key people within SMART focusing on changes in health and social status over time in relation to their musical activity. The book includes the voices and perspectives of project members and develops with them a new understanding of how music promotes their health and wellbeing. A contemporary ecological understanding of 'music and change' is outlined drawing on and further developing theory from music sociology and Community Music Therapy. This innovative book will be of interest to anyone working in the mental health field but also music therapists sociologists musicologists music educators and ethnomusicologists. This volume completes a three part 'triptych' alongside the other volumes Music Asylums: Wellbeing Through Music in Everyday Life and How Music Helps: In Music Therapy and Everyday Life. | Musical Pathways in Recovery Community Music Therapy and Mental Wellbeing

High-Impact ePortfolio Practice and Catalyst in Action Set

High-Impact ePortfolio Practice and Catalyst in Action Set

This set includes: High-Impact ePortfolio Practice and Catalyst in Action. Between them these two books by on the one hand providing the theory foundations and guiding principles for impementing ePortfolios and on the other providing concrete examples of implementation across institutional types and a wide range of programs provide faculty and administrators with a comprehensive roadmap to integrating ePortfolios in multiple settings at their institutions as a means to improve retention graduation and student engagement. Review of High-Impact ePortfolio Practice: “One of the main takeaways for me is that good ePortfolio work can be done effectively at any type of institution. Happily Eynon and Gambino explain how by illustrating the requisite steps and conditions to do ePortfolio well in the classroom and beyond. Moreover all students benefit especially those who are less well prepared for college which is one of the most important and necessary features of a high impact practice. The other noteworthy lesson for me personally is that the field now has another HIP to add to the officially approved list. My sincere thanks and congratulations to all those involved for producing this important work and providing the guidance the enterprise needs to strengthen undergraduate education and enrich and deepen student learning. Bravo. ”—George Kuh Senior Scholar National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment Chancellor’s Professor of Higher Education Emeritus - Indiana University Review of Catalyst in Action: “Catalyst in Action features twenty case studies from a diverse set of institutions extending from broad access community colleges through four-year colleges and major universities in the U. S. and abroad to graduate programs in education and divinity. Readers will find in these pages a wealth of new detail on the 'how' of institutionalizing ePortfolios from first year experiences and bridge programs to designs for entire programs to enhancements for high priority educational goals such as effective writing. ”—Carol Geary Schneider Lumina Fellow and president emerita of the Association of American Colleges and Universities A Co-Publication with AAC&U | High-Impact ePortfolio Practice and Catalyst in Action Set

The Myth of Bureaucratic Neutrality An Examination of Merit and Representation

The Myth of Bureaucratic Neutrality An Examination of Merit and Representation

In a system discredited by political corruption the notion of ‘bureaucratic neutrality’ was presented during the Progressive era as strategy to restore legitimacy in government. However bureaucratic neutrality also served as a barrier to equity in government. This book argues that neutrality is a myth that has been used as a means to oppress marginalized communities largely disconnected from its origins within the field of public administration. A historical perspective of how the field has understood race and gender demonstrates how it has centered whiteness masculinity and heteronormativity in research and administrative practices mistaking them for neutrality in public service. Using a historically grounded positionality approach the authors trace the myth of bureaucratic neutrality back to its origins and highlight how it has institutionalized inequity both legally and culturally. Ultimately the authors demonstrate that the only way to move toward equity is to understand how inequity has become institutionalized and to constantly work to improve our systems and decision making. With constituents across the globe demanding institutional changes in government that will establish new practices and mediate generations of inequality The Myth of Bureaucratic Neutrality is required reading for public administration scholars practitioners and students. | The Myth of Bureaucratic Neutrality An Examination of Merit and Representation

Magic Science and Empire in Postcolonial Literature The Alchemical Literary Imagination

Magic Science and Empire in Postcolonial Literature The Alchemical Literary Imagination

This book examines the ways in which contemporary British and British postcolonial writers in the after-empire era draw connections between magic (defined here as Renaissance Hermetic philosophy) and science. Writers such as Tom Stoppard Zadie Smith and Margaret Atwood critique both imperial science or science used in service to empire and what Renk calls imperical science a distortion of rational science which denies that reality is holistic and claims that nature can and should be conquered. In warning of the dangers of imperical science these writers restore the connection between magic and science as they examine major shifts in scientific thinking across the centuries. They reflect on the Copernican Revolution and the historic split between magic and science scrutinize Darwinism consider the relationship between Victorian science and pseudo-science analyze twentieth-century Uncertainty theories reject bio/genetic engineering call for a new approach to science that reconnects science and art and ultimately endeavor to bring an end to the imperial age. Overall these writers forge a new discourse that merges science with the arts and emphasizes a holistic philosophy a view shared by both Hermetic philosophy and recent scientific theories such as chaos or complexity theory. Along with recent books that focus on the relationship between contemporary literature and science this work focuses on contemporary British literature’s critique of science and the ways in which postcolonial literature addresses the relationship between magic science and empire. | Magic Science and Empire in Postcolonial Literature The Alchemical Literary Imagination

Asian Law in Disasters Toward a Human-Centered Recovery

Asian Law in Disasters Toward a Human-Centered Recovery

This book is a critical analysis of several of the most disaster-prone regions in Asia. Its unique focus is on the legal issues in the phase of disaster recovery the most lengthy and difficult stage of disaster response that follows the conclusion of initial emergency stage of humanitarian aid. In the stage of disaster recovery the law decides the fate of reconstruction for the individual houses and livelihoods of the disaster-affected people and sets the limit of governmental support for them during the lengthy period of suspension of normal living until full recovery is obtained. Researchers who were participant-observers in the difficult recovery phase after the mega-disasters in Asia analyse the reality of the functions of law which often hinder rather than foster efforts to restore disaster victims’ lives. The book collects research conducted with an emphasis on empirical approaches to legal sociology including direct interviews with people affected by the disaster. It offers a holistic approach beyond the traditional sectionalism of legal studies by starting with a historical review and incorporating both spheres of public law and private law in order to obtain a new perspective that can concurrently achieve disaster risk reductions and human-centered recoveries. With particular emphasis on the unexplored area of law in the post-disaster recovery phase this book will attract the attention of students and scholars of disaster studies legal studies Asian studies as well as those who work in the practice of disaster management. | Asian Law in Disasters Toward a Human-Centered Recovery

Death and Fallibility in the Psychoanalytic Encounter Mortal Gifts

Death and Fallibility in the Psychoanalytic Encounter Mortal Gifts

Death and Fallibility in the Psychoanalytic Encounter considers psychoanalysis from a fresh perspective: the therapist’s mortality—in at least two senses of the word. That the therapist can die and is also fallible can be seen as necessary or even defining components of the therapeutic process. At every moment the analyst's vulnerability and human limitations underlie the work something rarely openly acknowledged. Freud’s central insights continue to guide the range of all talking therapies but they do so somewhat in the manner of a smudged ancestral map. That blur or degree of confusion invites new ways of reading. Ellen Pinsky reexamines fundamental principles underlying by-now-dusty terms such as neutrality abstinence working through and the peculiar expression termination. Pinsky reconsiders—in some measure hopes to restore—the most essential humane and useful components of the original psychoanalytic perspective guided by the most productive threads in the discipline's still-evolving theory. Freud's most important contribution was arguably to discover (or invent) the psychoanalytic situation itself. This book reflects on central questions pertaining to that extraordinary discovery: What is the psychoanalytic situation? How does it work (and fail to work)? Why does it work? This book aims to articulate what is fundamental and what we can't do without—the psychoanalytic essence—while neither idealizing Freud nor devaluing his achievement. Historically Freud has been misread distorted maligned or at times even dismissed. Pinsky reappraises his significance with respect to psychoanalytic writers who have extended and amended his thinking. Of particular interest are those psychoanalytic thinkers who like Freud are not only original thinkers but also great writers—including D. W. Winnicott and Hans Loewald. Covering a broad range of psychoanalytic paradigms Death and Fallibility in the Psychoanalytic Encounter will bring a fresh understanding of the nature benefits and pitfalls of psychoanalysis. It will appeal to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists and provide superb background and inspiration for anyone working across the entire range of talking therapies. | Death and Fallibility in the Psychoanalytic Encounter Mortal Gifts

The Materiality of Color The Production Circulation and Application of Dyes and Pigments 1400–1800

The Materiality of Color The Production Circulation and Application of Dyes and Pigments 1400–1800

Although much has been written on the aesthetic value of color there are other values that adhere to it with economic and social values among them. Through case studies of particular colors and colored objects this volume demonstrates just how complex the history of color is by focusing on the diverse social and cultural meanings of color; the trouble pain and suffering behind the production and application of these colors; the difficult technical processes for making and applying color; and the intricacy of commercial exchanges and knowledge transfers as commodities and techniques moved from one region to another. By emphasizing color's materiality the way in which it was produced exchanged and used by artisans artists and craftspersons contributors draw attention to the disjuncture between the beauty of color and the blood sweat and tears that went into its production circulation and application as well as to the complicated and varied social meanings attached to color within specific historical and social contexts. This book captures color's global history with chapters on indigo plantations in India and the American South cochineal production in colonial Oaxaca the taste for brightly colored Chinese objects in Europe and the thriving trade in vermilion between Europeans and Native Americans. To underscore the complexity of the technical knowledge behind color production there are chapters on the 'discovery' of Prussian blue Brazilian feather techné and wallpaper production. To sound the depths of color's capacity for social and cultural meaning-making there are chapters that explore the significance of black ink in Shakespeare's sonnets red threads in women's needlework samplers blues in Mayan sacred statuary and greens and yellows in colored glass bracelets that were traded across the Arabian desert in the late Middle Ages. The purpose of this book is to recover color's complex-and sometimes morally troubling-past and in doing so to restore a sense of wonder and appreciation for our colorful world. With its nuanced and complex depiction of how color operated within local contexts and moved across the globe this book will appeal to art historians social and cultural historians museum curators literary scholars rhetoric scholars and historians of science and technology. | The Materiality of Color The Production Circulation and Application of Dyes and Pigments 1400–1800
