From pioneering treatment developers, this book describes
recovery-oriented cognitive therapy (CT-R). This evidence-based
approach empowers people given a serious mental health diagnosis
such as schizophrenia to build a better life in their chosen
community. CT-R provides innovative strategies to help individuals
shift from a "patient" mode to an adaptive mode of living and take
positive steps to pursue valued aspirations. Vivid case vignettes
and sample dialogues illustrate ways to access the adaptive mode
with people experiencing negative symptoms, delusions,
hallucinations, communication difficulties, self-harming or
aggressive behavior, and other challenges. In a convenient
large-size format, the book includes reproducible handouts and
forms. Purchasers get access to a companion website where they can
download and print the reproducible materials, plus two online-only
tip sheets relevant to COVID-19 and telehealth, and find a link to
related videos.
A groundbreaking volume on the rich 13,000-plus-year history and
culture of Connecticut's indigenous peoples More than 13,000 years
ago, people settled on lands that now lie within the boundaries of
the state of Connecticut. Leaving no written records and scarce
archaeological remains, these peoples and their communities have
remained unknown to all but a few archaeologists and other
scholars. This pioneering book is the first to provide a full
account of Connecticut's indigenous peoples, from the long-ago days
of their arrival to the present day. Lucianne Lavin draws on
exciting new archaeological and ethnographic discoveries,
interviews with Native Americans, rare documents including
periodicals, archaeological reports, master's theses and doctoral
dissertations, conference papers, newspapers, and government
records, as well as her own ongoing archaeological and documentary
research. She creates a fascinating and remarkably detailed
portrait of indigenous peoples in deep historic times before
European contact and of their changing lives during the past 400
years of colonial and state history. She also includes a short
study of Native Americans in Connecticut in the twentieth and
twenty-first centuries. This book brings to light the richness and
diversity of Connecticut's indigenous histories, corrects
misinformation about the vanishing Connecticut Indian, and reveals
the significant roles and contributions of Native Americans to
modern-day Connecticut.
Gestational diabetes, or diabetes during pregnancy, is an
increasingly common medical condition, affecting around 35,000
women in England and Wales each year, with a threefold increase in
diagnosis in the number of people diagnosed in the past ten years.
A diagnosis of diabetes in pregnancy can be stressful and
overwhelming and there are often more questions than answers, from
'why me'? to 'what's safe to eat?' to what's going to happen to my
baby'? This book, written by by a leading consultant diabetologist,
provides a practical, no nonsense approach to understanding the
condition, reducing risks and achieving the balance of blood sugar
that is crucial to a healthy outcome. Topics include: What is
gestational diabetes? Coming to terms with the diagnosis Ante-natal
care and support Diet and lifestyle Exercise Medication to help
protect you and your baby Getting ready for delivery Your baby's
birth and afterwards Diet plans and recipes
From Aaron T. Beck and colleagues, this is the definitive work
on the cognitive model of schizophrenia and its treatment. The
volume integrates cognitive-behavioral and biological knowledge
into a comprehensive conceptual framework. It examines the origins,
development, and maintenance of key symptom areas: delusions,
hallucinations, negative symptoms, and formal thought disorder.
Treatment chapters then offer concrete guidance for addressing each
type of symptom, complete with case examples and session outlines.
Anyone who treats or studies serious mental illness will find a new
level of understanding together with theoretically and empirically
grounded clinical techniques.
Over the course of the past century the struggle against racism
took many forms, from petitions and lawsuits to sit-ins and
marches. This book records the testimony of eleven
scholar-activists who challenged prevailing racial beliefs and
practices while engaging in resistance and reform. Included in this
group are nine African Americans (Kenneth B. Clark, John Henrik
Clarke, St. Clair Drake, W.E.B. Du Bois, John Hope Franklin, John
Glover Jackson, Hylan Lewis, Frank Snowden Jr., and Robert C.
Weaver); one Sri Lankan who lives and works in Britain (A.
Sivanandan); and one white American (Herbert Aptheker).
Most of these men began their careers before World War II, in a
time when biological conceptions of race dominated public policy
and severely limited the opportunities available to people of
color. By struggling with these impediments in their personal and
professional lives, each in his own way helped redefine race as the
social and cultural construct it has always been.
To highlight both the similarities and the differences in their
experiences, the editors asked each of the subjects the same set of
general questions about formative influences, major obstacles, and
principal accomplishments. These were followed by more narrowly
focused queries about specific writings. Most of the responses were
recorded on tape as interviews; several were submitted as written
reminiscences; and one, the essay on Du Bois, as the shared
recollection of two associates who had worked closely with him for
many years.
The result is a singular collection of autobiographical accounts
that not only testify to the personal courage of these individuals
in overcoming the ravages of racism but also documenttheir
contributions to the establishment of a vital antiracist tradition
in American thought and culture.
Appropriate for both professional and amateur photographers, this
guide approaches Adobe Photoshop from the technical and artistic
standpoint of traditional photography. Rather than emphasizing how
to distort or create unusual or outlandish digital effects, it
explores the use of Photoshop to achieve very realistic
photographic images. In-depth instruction illustrates how to
duplicate traditional photography and darkroom effects and
techniques and how to use alternative films, specialized filters,
lenses, and camera accessories. Every technique is demonstrated
step-by-step so that photographers can easily follow and duplicate
the effects with their own work. Although not a beginner's manual,
this book is appropriate for all other users of Adobe Photoshop.
In "The Stanley Park Companion" Paul Grant and Laurie Dickson have
combined social and natural history--memorabilia, photographs,
illustrations, maps, drawings, anecdotes and remembrances--to
reveal the many surprises tourists and hometown visitors can find
in this thousand-acre sanctuary. From Easter Be-ins and Theatre
Under the Stars to poet Pauline Johnson and lifeguard Joe Fortes,
from wild wolves and miniature train rides to Skana the Killer
Whale and the totem poles (which are the park's most visited spot),
it's all here in this lively, sometimes quirky compendium of the
world-famous park that has been the green heart of Vancouver for
over 100 years.

"Postcards from the Cinema" is the book Serge Daney, one of the
greatest of film critics, never wrote. It is based around an
interview that was to be the starting point for a book, a project
cut short by Daney's death. Postcards turns a history of cinema
into a profound meditation on the art and politics of film. Daney's
passionate and lucid engagement with film, combined with his
concern for journalistic clarity, effectively created film
criticism as a genre. Equally at home with the theories of Deleuze,
Lacan and Debord as he was with the movie-making of Bunuel, Godard
and Ray, Daney was also a fan of Jerry Lewis and Hitchcock. At the
same time - and before his time - he championed the critical
analysis of television and other audio-visual media. Long-awaited,
this is the first book-length translation of Daney's work,
testimony to a life lived with a fierce love of film.
