This is the first book in the new SCM "Society and Church" series,
which attempts to make sense of the Church and Christianity in a
secular society and context, and explore what the former can
legitimately contribute to the latter. "Wellbeing" is an absolutely
central concept in our secular lives, is used with increasing
frequency in all sorts of contexts - eg. the Boots website is
"www.wellbeing.com" - and it is therefore crucial that we
understand how it relates to life, meaning and personal identity in
the 21st century. Through a combination of story, personal
reflection and philosophical analysis, Alison Webster attempts to
get "under the skin" of wellbeing, and show how the concept is
evolving in contemporary culture. She shows how the agenda
generated by wellbeing is like that which traditionally has been
generated by religion and spirituality: which is why "meeting
spiritual needs" is such big business in health and social care.
Webster argues that the Christian tradition still has much to offer
in transforming our society into one in which sickness, disability
and death are put into their rightful place - and in which
overly-commodified and individualistic notions of sickness and
disability are overcome.
This was the book which first garnered international celebrity and
notoriety for its author and which fire-started a debate about the
supernatural claims of Christianity. Rejecting Christian doctrines
and metaphysics in favour of the religious consciousness which
characterises human identity, Cupitt 'takes leave' of God by
abandoning objective theism. Because he remained an ordained priest
of the Church of England, the author attracted considerable
attention and criticism for his position. Indeed, Keith Ward, now
Oxford's Regius Professor of Divinity, wrote an entire book -
Holding Fast to God - which attempted to counter Cupitt's views.
Whatever one thinks of the author's beliefs, Taking Leave of God
contributed to one of the most important theological discussions of
its time.
Narrative play is a way of communicating with children using
imaginative stories and narratives to share and make sense of life
events. This book describes using narrative play therapeutically
with children who have lived in multiple families, children who
have problems with social understanding and children who have
learning difficulties. Ann Cattanach explains how children's
stories and narratives, whether they are about real or imagined
events, can be interpreted as indicators of their experiences,
their ideas, and a dimension of who they are. She demonstrates this
with examples of children's stories from her clinical experience,
and provides narrative play techniques and sample scripts both for
therapists and for parents whose circumstances require a
therapeutic parenting approach. This book is essential reading for
play therapists, social workers and other professionals working
with children, as well as parents and carers of children who are
experiencing social and/or learning difficulties.
