Threats To Optimal Development Integrating Biological Psychological and Social Risk Factors: the Minnesota Symposia on Child Psychology Volume 27

Threats To Optimal Development Integrating Biological Psychological and Social Risk Factors: the Minnesota Symposia on Child Psychology Volume 27

Psychology's recent immersion in risk research has introduced a new variant in which the focus is not solely on disease but also on the effects and consequences produced by the multiple aspects of risk on individual adaptation. Variations in such patterns of adaptation signal the entrance of protective factors as an added element to the clinical and research focus in the prediction of positive versus negative outcomes under the duress of stressful experiences. Given psychology's investment in the entire range of human adaptation-embracing severe disorder at one extreme and strong positive adaptations at the other-it is not surprising to find this new element of compensatory protective factors as a reshaping factor in the field of risk research. It is one that recognizes and studies the relevance of risk influences on disorder but also focuses on recovery from disorder or the absence of disorder despite the presence of risk. This latter element implicates the notion of resilience. It is this opening of the field of risk research that seems to bear the heavy and welcome imprint of psychology. Fundamental to the study of protective factors in development however is a broad knowledge base focused on risk factors that often contain the healthy development of infants and children. This volume reflects a continuation of the concerns of the Institute of Child Development with the nature and content of development in multiple contexts. It comes at a most welcome point since the Institute-in collaboration with the University of Minnesota's Department of Psychology-now participates in a jointly shared graduate training program in clinical psychology which stimulates and supports the growth of a newly emergent developmental psychopathology. For this field to advance will require a broad perspective and acceptance of the significance of the diversity of risk factors that extends throughout the life span and results in developmental trajectories that implicate various biological psychological and sociocultural risk elements. | Threats To Optimal Development Integrating Biological Psychological and Social Risk Factors: the Minnesota Symposia on Child Psychology Volume 27

Psychoanalytic Credos Personal and Professional Journeys of Psychoanalysts

Psychoanalytic Credos Personal and Professional Journeys of Psychoanalysts

Developing psychoanalytic credos a set of beliefs that inform how you listen and approach the analytic enterprise with patients is in many ways the scaffolding of psychoanalytic training. Drawing upon Mannie Ghent’s original Credo essay 27 psychoanalysts were asked to write their credos and/or their psychoanalytic journey. This book represents a multi-theoretical and multi-generational grouping trained at different institutes during different eras (grouped by decades 1960-2000) and across cultures. They are drawn from analysts identified with Relational Object Relations Contemporary Freudians and Kleinian/Bionian perspectives as well as those who don’t easily fit categorization. This book serves to provide companionship to analysts in training as part of reading lists in institutes as well as analysts post-training and yet still evolving in their psychoanalytic journey. | Psychoanalytic Credos Personal and Professional Journeys of Psychoanalysts

Design by Fire Resistance Co-Creation and Retreat in the Pyrocene

Design by Fire Resistance Co-Creation and Retreat in the Pyrocene

Across the world the risks of wildfires are increasing and expanding. Due to past and current human actions we dwell in the age of fire – the Pyrocene – and the many challenges and climate adaptation questions it provokes. Exploring our past and current relationships with fire this book speculates on the pyro futures yet to be designed and cared for. Drawing upon fieldwork mapping drone imagery and interviews this publication curates 27 global design case studies within the vulnerable and dynamic wildland-urban interface and its adjacent wildlands. The book catalogs these examples into three approaches: those that resist the creative and transformative power of fire and forces of landscape change those that embrace and utilize those forces and those that intentionally try to retreat and minimize human intervention in fire-prone landscapes. Rather than serving as a book of neatly packaged solutions it is a book of techniques to be considered tested and evaluated in a time of fire. | Design by Fire Resistance Co-Creation and Retreat in the Pyrocene

The Spanish Civil War A Military History

The Spanish Civil War A Military History

The Spanish Civil War: A Military History takes a new military approach to the conflict that tore Spain apart from 1936 to 1939. In many histories the war has been treated as a primarily political event with the military narrative subsumed into a much broader picture of the Spain of 1936–9 in which the chief themes are revolution and counter-revolution. While remaining conscious of the politics of the struggle this book looks at the war as above all a military event and as one in whose outbreak specifically military issues – particularly the split in the armed forces produced by the long struggle in Morocco (1909–27) – were fundamental. Across nine chapters that consider the war from beginning to endgame Charles J. Esdaile revisits traditional themes from a new perspective deconstructs many epics and puts received ideas to the test as well as introducing readers to foreign-language historiography that has previously been largely inaccessible to an anglophone audience. In taking this new approach The Spanish Civil War: A Military History is essential reading for all students of twentieth-century Spain. | The Spanish Civil War A Military History

In the Shadow of Freud’s Couch Portraits of Psychoanalysts in Their Offices

In the Shadow of Freud’s Couch Portraits of Psychoanalysts in Their Offices

In the Shadow of Freud’s Couch: Portraits of Psychoanalysts in Their Offices uses text and images to form a complex portrait of psychoanalysis today. It is the culmination of the authors 15-year project of photographing psychoanalysts in their offices across 27 cities and ten countries. Part memoir part history part case study and part self-analysis these pages showcase a diversity of analysts: male and female and old-school and contemporary. Starting with Freud’s iconic office the book explores how the growing diversity in both analysts and patient groups and changes in schools of thought have been reflected in these intimate spaces and how the choices analysts make in their office arrangements can have real effects on treatment. Along with the presentation of images Mark Gerald explores the powerful relational foundations of theory and clinical technique the mutually vulnerable patient-analyst connection and the history of the psychoanalytic office. This book will be of great interest to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists as well as psychotherapists counsellors and social workers interested in understanding and innovating the spaces used for mental health treatment.

The Politics of Contemporary Ethiopia Ethnic Federalism and Authoritarian Survival

The Politics of Contemporary Ethiopia Ethnic Federalism and Authoritarian Survival

This book investigates the role of ethnic federalism in Ethiopian politics reflecting on a long history of division amongst the country’s political elites. The book argues that these patterns have enabled the resilience and survival of authoritarianism in the country and have led to the failure of democratization. Ethnic conflict in Ethiopia stretches back to the country’s imperial history. Competing nationalisms begin to emerge towards the end of the imperial era but were formalized by the Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) from the 1990s onwards. Under the EPRDF ethnicity and language classifications formed the main organizing principles for political parties and organizations and the country’s new federal arrangement was also designed along ethnic fault lines. This book argues that this ethnic federal arrangement and the continuation of an elite political culture are major factors in explaining the continuation of authoritarianism in Ethiopia. Focusing largely on the last 27 years under the EPRDF and on the political changes of the last few years but also stretching back to historical narratives of ethnic grievances and division this book is an important guide to the ethnic politics of Ethiopia and will be of interest to researchers of African politics authoritarianism and ethnic conflict. | The Politics of Contemporary Ethiopia Ethnic Federalism and Authoritarian Survival
