An Existential Phenomenology of Addiction (Paperback): Anna Westin An Existential Phenomenology of Addiction (Paperback)
Anna Westin
R1,329 Discovery Miles 13 290 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Existential phenomenology can be a particularly helpful philosophical method for understanding human experience. Starting from the perspective of the subject, it can clarify and problematize subtle everyday relations, enabling greater insight into difficult situations. Used by contemporary philosophers as a way of understanding the embodied experience of illness, this method has been helpful for understanding physical illness in the medical humanities, offering a fruitful way of reading the subjectivity of mental states. An Existential Phenomenology of Addiction examines how the experience of addiction engages both mental and physical phenomena within the existence of a particular human life, using the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas and Soren Kierkegaard. The book maps out an existential phenomenology of subject-in-relation. Both Levinas and Kierkegaard use decidedly psychological and theological language to situate their philosophy, discussing the subject through concepts of love, otherness, responsibility and hope, while played out in a situation of anxiety, suffering, desire and revelation. Combining existential phenomenological discourse with contemporary addiction discourse, Westin argues that the concept of subject as 'addict', as found in the Twelve Steps Program and disease models of addiction, ought to be replaced with the free and relational identity of subject as 'addicted'.

Everybody Needs Beauty - In Search of the Nature Cure (Hardcover): Samantha Walton Everybody Needs Beauty - In Search of the Nature Cure (Hardcover)
Samantha Walton
R496 Discovery Miles 4 960 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

'Beautifully written, intimate and intellectually fascinating' Nathan Filer 'This book represents, genuinely, a moment of ground-breaking importance for how we think about nature, access and wellbeing in late capitalism' Dr Alice Tarbuck 'Impeccably researched . . . A call to us all to find a place within the simplicity and complexity of nature' Lara Maiklem, bestselling author of Mudlarking Everybody is talking about the healing properties of nature. Hospitals are being retrofitted with gardens, and forests reimagined as wellbeing centres. On the Shetland Islands, it is possible to walk into a doctor's surgery with anxiety or depression, and walk out with a prescription for nature. Where has this come from, and what does 'going to nature' mean? Where is it - at the end of a garden, beyond the tarmac fringes of a city, at the summit of a mountain? Drawing on history, science, literature and art, Samantha Walton shows that the nature cure has deep roots - but, as we face an unprecedented crisis of mental health, social injustice and environmental devastation, the search for it is more urgent now than ever. Everybody Needs Beauty engages seriously with the connection between nature and health, while scrutinising the harmful trends of a wellness industry that seeks to exploit our relationship with the natural world. In doing so, this book explores how the nature cure might lead us towards a more just and radical way of life: a real means of recovery, for people, society and nature.

Stop disruptive, negative thoughts at their root with a new method of mental control from one of the most distinguished figures in the field of CBT Our mind is always active, capable of generating free-floating thoughts that are entirely disconnected from each other and may have little relevance to our current situation. Sometimes these thoughts take on a darker, more negative tone because they're triggered by a stressful or problematic situation. These unwanted intrusive thoughts play an important role in the persistence and severity of anxiety and depression. They often trigger other forms of distressing thought such as obsessive thinking, worry, rumination or pathological guilt. Based on new findings on the nature of mental control, this book targets negative, intrusive thoughts with therapeutic strategies based on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). You will learn: * How our minds become unsettled by doubts and unwanted thoughts * Strategies for developing greater willpower and self-control * Control skills for self-discovery, mental de-toxification and mindful self-acceptance * Way to maximise positive intrusions and be mindfully accepting of yourself Published by New Harbinger in the USA under the title The Anxious Thoughts Workbook: Skills to Overcome the Unwanted Intrusive Thoughts that Drive Anxiety, Obsessions and Depression

Die folgenden BHitter enthalten eine Reihe von Gedanken, die sich mir bei einer von frtihester J ugend bis auf den heutigen Tag erstreckten Beschaftigung mit Musik auf gedrangt haben, einer Beschaftigung, die zwar keine berufs maBige gewesen ist, der aber doch in meiner ganzen Lebens ftihrung ein erheblicher Raum gegonnt war. Der AnlaB, solchen Gedanken ernsthafter nachzugehen, war tir mich schon dadurch gegeben, daB die der Musik entstammenden Eindrticke zu den hochsten Gemtitswerten gehoren, die mir das Leben tiberhaupt gewahrt hat. Dazu kam, daB die sich hier bietenden Erwagungen aufs engste mit Fragen der Sinnesphysiologie und der Psychologie zusammenhangen, mit denen mich zu 1;Jefassen ich durch andere Umstande ver anlaBt war. - Die groBe Zahl derer, die der Musik ein warmes und lebhaftes Interesse entgegenbringen, konnte wohl ermutigen, mit solchen Dberlegungen an die Offentlich keit zu treten. So wendet sich dies Schriftchen denn auch nicht bloB an den Musiker von Beruf, an den Psychologen von Fach, sondern an jeden Musikfreund, an aIle, denen die Tonkunst eine Quelle der Freude, Erquickung und Erhebung geworden ist. Freilich hat sich gewiB sehr vielen von ihnen in Stunden besinnlicher Ruhe gleich mir der AnlaB geboten, tiber die Beziehungen der Musik zu allen moglichen Seiten un seres Seelenlebens nachzudenken. Und so laBt sich er warten, daB jeder, der dies Btichlein zur Hand nimmt, der eine hier, der andere dort, manchem begegnen wird, was ihm wohlbekannt ist oder selbstverstandlich dtinkt.

In der Seele des Menschen liegen zwei Arten der Erkenntnissuche begrundet, das Erkennen durch Begriffsbildung, durch das Suchen nach Gesetzen und Regeln unter Zuhilfenahme von Abstraktionen, Theorien und Hypothesen, und das Erkennen durch unmittelbare Bewusstseinsakte, durch das "Schauen," sei es nun einfaches sinnliches Schauen oder geistige Anschauung, Intuition. Beide Arten der Erkenntnismoglichkeit werden von jedem Menschen un ablassig in Dienst gestellt; aber dem einen Individuum liegt das Erkennen durch Schauen naher, dem anderen das Erkennen durch Begriffsbildung. Das Erkennen durch Schauen hat unzweideutig Beziehungen zur Kunst, das Erkennen durch Begriffsbildung zur Wissenschaft. So hat ein Goethe, als vorzugsweise zum Schauen geborener Mensch, stets eine Abneigung gegen begriffsbildende, zer gliedernde Wissenschaft gehabt; in seiner Farbenlehre ist uns seine aufs Schauen und unmittelbares Erleben eingestellte Erkenntnisweise im Gegensatz zu den analysierenden und begriffsbildenden Bestrebungen der Physik, zu denen er nie ein Verhaltnis gewinnen konnte, besonders deutlich gegeben. Auch die Art, wiE' er auf seiner italienischen Reise seine Eindrucke festhielt, macht seine auf;; Sinnliche, auf Anschauung eingestellte Erkenntnisweise deutlich, und erst in der nachitalieniRchen Zeit, zum TE'il unter dem Einfluss Schillers, wurdE' E'r einem diskursiven Denken geneigter und liess das intuitive Erfassen und Erleben gelegentlich zurucktreten hinter Analysc und Synthese, auch in seiner Arbeit. Sein grosser Zeitgenosse Schiller dagegen, von vornherein mehr zum begrifflichen Erfassen und abstrakten und diskursiven Denken geboren, ist fur uns zum wenigsten ebenso Wissenschaftler, Philosoph, Historiker und Synthetiker wie schauender Kunstler."

It examines five systems that affect individual health outcomes: individual, family/community, social/physical environment, healthcare systems, and health policy. While grounded in psychology, it incorporates perspectives from anthropology, biology, economics, environmental studies, medicine, public health, and sociology. The social ecological perspective on health psychology creates a depth of understanding of the diverse facets of health.
