Psychosis and the Traumatised Self explores what it is like to
experience psychosis for individuals with histories of childhood
physical and sexual abuse. The book additionally explores how
meaning expressed in psychosis might originate from the effects of
abuse, but also long-term life difficulties, motivations, memories,
social history, and struggles to narrate and understand. One
chapter focuses on refugees who suffered trauma as adults and later
became psychotic. Another chapter examines how trauma leads to the
destruction of certainty and trust, thereby opening a pathway to
persecutory ideas. Drawing on a developmental model of trauma, it
is proposed that dissociated parts of the self that developed
during childhood contribute to psychosis in adults when undergoing
difficulties and stress. Presented with case illustrations, the
book will be useful for those who work in the area of psychosis and
abuse to understand the experiences of individuals, and how we
might develop appropriate therapy and care.

As the COVID-19 pandemic has affected every corner of the world,
changing our relationship to our communities, to our jobs, and to
each other, the most pressing question has been-when will it end?
Researchers around the globe are urgently trying to answer this
question by racing to test and distribute a vaccine that could end
the greatest public health threat of our time. In How to Make a
Vaccine, an expert who has firsthand experience developing vaccines
tells an optimistic story of how three hundred years of vaccine
discovery and a century and a half of immunology research have come
together at this powerful moment-and will lead to multiple COVID-19
vaccines. Dr. John Rhodes draws on his experience as an
immunologist, including working alongside a young Anthony Fauci, to
unravel the mystery of how vaccines are designed, tested, and
produced at scale for global deployment. Concise and accessible,
this book describes in everyday language how the immune system
evolved to combat infection, how viruses responded by evolving ways
to evade our defenses, and how vaccines do their work. That
history, and the pace of current research developments, make Rhodes
hopeful that multiple vaccines will protect us. Today the complex
workings of the immune system are well understood. The tools needed
by biomedical scientists stand ready to be used, and more than 160
vaccine candidates have already been produced. But defeating
COVID-19 won't be the end of the story: Rhodes describes how
discoveries today are also empowering scientists to combat future
threats to global health, including a recent breakthrough in the
development of genetic vaccines, which have never before been used
in humans. As the world prepares for a vaccine, Rhodes offers a
current and informative look at the science and strategies that
deliver solutions to the crisis.
A classic crime novel by one of the most highly regarded exponents
of the genre. The murder of old Mr Fransham while washing his hands
in his niece's cloakroom was one of the most astounding problems
that ever confronted Scotland Yard. Not only was there a policeman
in the house at the time, but there was an ugly wound in the
victim's forehead and nothing in the locked room that could have
inflicted it. The combined efforts of Superintendent Hanslet and
Inspector Waghorn brought no answer and the case was dropped. It
was only after another equally baffling murder had been committed
that Dr Lancelot Priestley's orderly and imaginative deductions
began to make the connections that would solve this extraordinary
case.

Designed to meet the complex needs of patients with psychosis,
Narrative CBT for Psychosis combines narrative and solution-focused
therapy with established techniques from CBT (cognitive behaviour
therapy) into one integrated flexible approach. In this book John
Rhodes and Simon Jakes bring the practitioner up-to-date, as
treatment and practice evolve to draw on other therapeutic
approaches, creating an approach which is client centred and
non-confrontational. The book contains many tried and tested
practical ideas for helping clients, with several chapters
including detailed and illuminating case studies. Areas of
discussion include: * how to work with delusions, voices and
visions * working with core beliefs * an exploration of narratives
of past difficulties and traumas * recovery and ending therapy
Narrative CBT for Psychosis will be essential reading for all
mental health professionals who deal with psychosis who wish to
learn a new approach.

A special release of the very first crime novel by John Rhode,
introducing Dr Priestley, the genius detective who would go on to
appear in more than 70 bestselling crime novels during the Golden
Age. When Harold Merefield returned home in the early hours of a
winter morning from a festive little party at that popular
nightclub, the 'Naxos', he was startled by a gruesome discovery. On
his bed was a corpse. There was nothing to show the identity of the
dead man or the cause of his death. At the inquest, the jury found
a verdict of 'Death from Natural Causes' - perhaps they were right,
but yet . . . ? Harold determined to investigate the matter for
himself and sought the help of Professor Priestley, who, by the
simple but unusual method of logical reasoning, succeeded in
throwing light upon what proved to be a very curious affair indeed.
This Detective Club classic is introduced by crime writing
historian and expert Tony Medawar, who looks at how John Rhode, who
also wrote as Miles Burton and as Cecil Waye, became one of the
best-selling and most popular British authors of the Golden Age.
The popularity of using narrative, metaphor and building solutions
in CBT has increased in recent years. Narrative CBT, part of the
third wave of cognitive therapies, recognises the importance of
helping to build new ideas and practices in order to create change,
examining a person's multiple and evolving narratives and their
behaviour as intrinsically meaningful. In Narrative CBT, John
Rhodes presents the features of NCBT in thirty key points. The
first fifteen summarise how the theory of narrative can clarify
difficulties with emotions, motives and interactions and address
how rebuilding confidence and trust is crucial for change to be
achieved. In the second half of the book, case conceptualisation
and the techniques of NCBT are explained and illustrated.
Narrative, solution-orientated and CBT techniques are integrated
and specific NCBT approaches for trauma, depression and OCD are
highlighted. Ideal for clinical and counselling psychologists, both
established and in training, psychotherapists and all professionals
carrying out therapy in the field of mental health, this book
clearly and accessibly presents the techniques and key concepts of
Narrative CBT.
A classic winter’s crime novel by one of the most highly regarded
exponents of the genre. Victor Harleston awoke with
uncharacteristic optimism. Today he would be rich at last. Half an
hour later, he gulped down his breakfast coffee and pitched to the
floor, gasping and twitching. When the doctor arrived, he
recognised instantly that it was a fatal case of poisoning and
called in Scotland Yard. Despite an almost complete absence of
clues, the circumstances were so suspicious that Inspector Hanslet
soon referred the evidence to his friend and mentor, Dr Lancelot
Priestley, whose deductions revealed a diabolically ingenious
murder that would require equally fiendish ingenuity to solve.
This self-contained monograph explores a new theory centered around
boolean representations of simplicial complexes leading to a new
class of complexes featuring matroids as central to the theory. The
book illustrates these new tools to study the classical theory of
matroids as well as their important geometric connections.
Moreover, many geometric and topological features of the theory of
matroids find their counterparts in this extended context. Graduate
students and researchers working in the areas of combinatorics,
geometry, topology, algebra and lattice theory will find this
monograph appealing due to the wide range of new problems raised by
the theory. Combinatorialists will find this extension of the
theory of matroids useful as it opens new lines of research within
and beyond matroids. The geometric features and
geometric/topological applications will appeal to geometers.
Topologists who desire to perform algebraic topology computations
will appreciate the algorithmic potential of boolean representable
complexes.

in book form, thereby updating and modernizing the semigroup theory
literature.
This anthology of rare stories of crime and suspense brings
together 15 tales from the Golden Age of Detective Fiction for the
first time in book form, including newly discovered stories by
Dorothy L. Sayers and Edmund Crispin that have never previously
been published. With the Golden Age of detective fiction shining
ever more brightly thanks to the recent reappearance of many
forgotten crime novels, Bodies from the Library offers a rare
opportunity to read lost stories from the first half of the
twentieth century by some of the genre's most accomplished writers.
This second volume is a showcase for popular figures of the Golden
Age, in stories that even their most ardent fans will not be aware
of. It includes uncollected and unpublished stories by acclaimed
queens and kings of crime fiction, from Helen Simpson, Ethel Lina
White, E.C.R. Lorac, Christianna Brand, Agatha Christie and Dorothy
L. Sayers, to S.S. Van Dine, Jonathan Latimer, Clayton Rawson,
Cyril Alington and Antony and Peter Shaffer (writing as Peter
Antony). This book also features two highly readable radio scripts
by Margery Allingham (involving Jack the Ripper) and John Rhode,
plus two full-length novellas - one from a rare magazine by Q
Patrick, the other an unpublished Gervase Fen mystery by Edmund
Crispin, written at the height of his career. It concludes with
another remarkable discovery: 'The Locked Room' by Dorothy L.
Sayers, a never-before-published case for Lord Peter Wimsey!
Selected and introduced by Tony Medawar, who also provides
fascinating pen portraits of each author, Bodies from the Library 2
is an indispensable collection for any bookshelf.

To say that education in Africa is under stress is all to obvious.
News reports from that continent seem to describe only war and
violence, poverty and malnutrition, corruption and mismanagement,
or natural disasters that destroy or threaten already frail
infrastructures - most news from Africa is bad news. When an
education system survives in a country like Uganda, long subjected
to the whims of despotic leadership, it warrants an investigation.
This book tells the story of four senior secondary schools during a
time of war and intractable social conflict, examining a complex
topic through multiple perspectives such as documentary history,
oral history, ethnography, and organization theory. The author
develops a broad picture of the Amin/Obote years and the
accompanying political and social chaos in Uganda, while at the
same time filling in the crucial details essential for developing
an understanding of school survival in the Kaborole District. The
author's intensive field work gives this study a unique dimension:
by preserving a record of African voices - students, teachers,
parents, alumni, board members, community leaders - a rich tableau
of theh local conditions for school survival emerges. At the same
time the discussion is situated within the larger Ugandan
historical and political context, thus offering an excellent
example of the application of multiple research perspectives to a
complex social, cultural and political setting.
The next time you visit Olympia, take a good look around and see if
you think it would be possible to murder someone in the middle of
the crowd there without being seen... The new Comet was fully
expected to be the sensation of the annual Motor Show at Olympia.
Suddenly, in the middle of the dense crowd of eager spectators, an
elderly man lurched forward and collapsed in a dead faint. But
Nahum Pershore had not fainted. He was dead, and it was his death
that was to provide the real sensation of the show. A post-mortem
revealed no visible wound, no serious organic disorder, no evidence
of poison. Doctors and detectives were equally baffled, and the
more they investigated, the more insoluble the puzzle became. Even
Dr Lancelot Priestley's unrivalled powers of deduction were
struggling to solve this case.
