Originally published in 1984, this book focuses, firstly, on how
patients interpret and act in response to symptoms of illness;
secondly on how social and psychological factors influence the
treatment process; and thirdly, on certain kinds of illness where
the psychosocial perspective is of particular importance to the
providers of health care - for example, chronic or particularly
disabling illnesses. It demonstrates how essential it is to bring
an interdisciplinary perspective from the social and behavioural
sciences to an understanding and interpretation of behaviour in
relation to illness. It will be of central concern to all health
professionals in training and in practice and to social scientists
interested in health care.
Narratives of Architectural Education provides an overview of life
as an architecture student, detailing how a layperson may develop
an architectural identity. This book proposes becoming an architect
as a personal narrative of professional development structured
around various stages and challenges associated with identity

book provides previously unexamined insights into not just the
academic development of an architect, but also the holistic and
experiential aspects of architectural education. It would be ideal
for those in the educational field of architecture, to include
students, educators, interns, and mentors.

'Kept me captivated from first to last page!' MICHAEL CONNELLY
Kaamos: Just before Christmas, the bleakest time of the year in
Lapland. The unrelenting darkness and extreme cold above the Arctic
Circle drive everyone just a little insane... perhaps enough to
kill. A beautiful Somali immigrant is found dead in a snowfield,
her body gruesomely mutilated, a racial slur carved into her chest.
Heading the murder investigation is Inspector Kari Vaara, the lead
detective of the small-town police force. The vicious killing may
have been a hate crime, a sex crime-or one and the same. Vaara
knows he must keep this potentially explosive case out of the
national headlines or else it will send shock waves across Finland,
an insular nation afraid to face its own xenophobia. The demands of
the investigation begin to take their toll on Vaara and his
marriage. His young American wife, Kate, newly pregnant with their
first child, is struggling to adapt to both the unforgiving Arctic
climate and the Finnish culture of silence and isolation. Meanwhile
Vaara himself, haunted by his rough childhood and failed first
marriage, discovers that the past keeps biting at his heels: He
suspects that the rich man for whom his ex-wife left him years ago
may be the killer. Endless night can drive anyone to murder.
Child safety is everybody's concern, but much professional activity
is misinformed or based on a misrepresentation of the facts, and
preventative action is rarely adequately evaluated. Written by
researchers with an active role in social policy, this text
challenges our understanding of the problem of child safety and
points to the impotence of "educational" approaches based on
"knowledge enhancement". The message is that improving children's
knowledge has little or no effect on their behaviour. From the
physical abuse of young children to drug abuse in adolescence, this
work presents a radical perspective on a key social issue.

Newspapers, periodicals, pamphlets and books all reflect the
ubiquity of 'public opinion' in political discourse in late
nineteenth and early twentieth-century Britain. Through close
attention to debates across the political spectrum, James Thompson
charts the ways in which Britons sought to locate 'public opinion'
in an era prior to polling. He shows that 'public opinion' was the
principal term through which the link between the social and the
political was interrogated, charted and contested and charts how
the widespread conviction that the public was growing in power
raised significant issues about the kind of polity emerging in
Britain. He also examines how the early Labour party negotiated the
language of 'public opinion' and sought to articulate Labour
interests in relation to those of the public. In so doing he sheds
important new light on the character of Britain's liberal political
culture and on Labour's place in and relationship to that culture.

This edited collection brings together essays presenting an
interdisciplinary dialogue between theatre and performance and the
fields of care ethics, care studies, health and social care. The
book advances our understanding of performance as a mode of care,
challenging existing debates in this area by re-thinking the caring
encounter as a performed, embodied experience and interrogating the
boundaries between care practice and performance. Through an
examination of a wide range of different care performances drawn
from interdisciplinary and international settings, the book
interrogates how performance might be understood as caring or
uncaring, careless or careful, and correlatively how care can be
conceptualised as artful, aesthetic, authentic or even 'fake' and
'staged'. -- .

In 'Digging up stories', James Thompson explores the problems of
theatre practice in communities affected by war and exclusion. Each
chapter or 'story' is written in a lively and accessible style and
draws on a range of contemporary performance theories. The chapters
discuss: - participatory theatre in refugee camps - theatre
workshop and stories of a massacre - traditional dance-dramas in an
insurgent controlled village - 'Forum' theatre with the Mahabharata
- ethical issues - the struggle to teach the author to dance
'Digging up stories' documents a range of theatre practice and
includes project reports, ethnographic accounts, performance
analysis and diary-style reflection. Taken from Thompson's research
and practice in Sri Lanka, these diverse examples question the link
between applied theatre, traditional performance and performances
in everyday life. The book blurs lines between research and travel
writing to create rich and provocative accounts of applying theatre
in a troubled setting. -- .
