This book continues the objectives of the original volume: to act as a pathfinder in the study of rock music for both the serious student and the interested enthusiast, and to serve as a guide to the vast quantities of material on the subject for librarians and educators. Covering 1984-1990, it also lists many sources published between 1954 and 1983 supplemental to the earlier two volumes.
Children need more than just good schooling: they require safe lives, good health, and sufficient resources to live and grow successfully in their community. This book makes this vital connection, as society must promote a quality education, available health services, and financial equity and opportunity for all.
In education we are working on behalf of a truly noble cause: the lives of our students. We need a system for working together that is worthy of the work and one that harnesses the idealistic visions and inherent energies that brought us to education in the first place. Becoming A Great School prepares you to create that system. The authors challenge top-down leadership as a vestige of the past which fails to fully engage today's teaching professionals. They explain why the following structures are essential to school revitalization: an intrinsically-motivated, energized workforce functioning smoothly together as a team; a clear focus which inspires cohesion and a sense of purpose; and a process which gradually renews the school's educational systems piece-by-piece. The outcome is what American education needs: stronger, revitalized, more effective, extraordinary schools - and it is all accomplished from within. Ken, Nels and Joe reveal the quality management principles and collaborative leadership skills that led to amazing results for them, while detailing the practices necessary for educators to achieve the same outcomes in their schools. Become the leader you imagined yourself to be while creating the school you always wanted to work in.

Panacea or revolution? 'Evidence-based medicine' and 'cost-effectiveness' have become buzz-phrases for a wide variety of initiatives and planning processes which aim to give patients treatments that will benefit them. On the surface this seems a reasonable idea, but there are underlying currents which cast doubt on the process and reveal methodological problems, which must be understood if the concepts are to be properly used. Assuming no prior knowledge of the field, and written in the clear, straightforward manner the author uses in the highly successful Health Economics for the Uninitiated, this book is a short practical guide on how to use these concepts, and how to avoid their pitfalls. It will appeal to doctors, nurses, health service managers, patient organizations, academics and students of health care. It will provide essential support to those working in health care companies, and in the pharmaceutical and medical equipment industry.
The Mental Health-Substance Use series provides clear guidance for professionals on this complex and increasingly recognised field. It concentrates on the concerns, dilemmas and concepts that impact on the life and well-being of affected individuals and those close to them, as well as the future direction of practice, education, research, services, intervention, and treatment. This volume is primarily about caring for individuals and families who turn to professionals at a time when their lives are unmanageable alone, but is also concerned with the care that these professions extend to their own members. It contends that these issues are closely interrelated, with appropriate communication and support being key to both. Its chapters draw from a variety of theories and treatments to provide practical advice on the challenge of providing appropriate care tailored to a wide scope of individuals and families. The volumes in this series are designed to challenge concepts and stimulate debate, exploring all aspects of the development in treatment, intervention and care response, and the adoption of research-led best practice. They are essential reading for mental health and substance use professionals, students and educators.

Thinking about God is historical thinking and that in two senses: the idea of God has a history, and those who think about God think through an historically formed mind. The task of the theologian, is not the attempt to move outside his historicity - such an attempt constitutes a fallacy and not a virtue - but to accept its implications and limitations. Methodologically this means that the theologian must point to the historical perspectives that underlie the idea of God in its development and, in his own constructive thought, must work self-consciously with an historical perspective informed by the psychological and cosmological understanding of his own time. This book centers on that idea which traditionally has been associated with the very godness of God - the idea of divine abso luteness - and puts certain historical, logical, religious and, finally, cosmological questions to it. The roots of that idea lie in Greek thought, which entered Christian theology via the early church is much indication, particularly in Patristic fathers; even so, there trinitarian thought, that the Biblical heritage is pushing theological thlnking towards a social or relative concept of divine being (ch. 1)."
This book is your go-to reference on how to achieve PCI compliance. With more than 400 PCI requirements, the updated PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) v4.0 does not detail the specific documentation that a PCI auditor—known as a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA)—needs to know.

PCI DSS 1.0 was first published in 2004, yet many of those tasked with PCI compliance still encounter difficulties when trying to make sense of it. PCI DSS version 4 was published in March 2022, and at 360 pages, it has numerous additional requirements, leaving many people struggling to know what they need to do to comply.PCI DSS v4.0 has a transition period in which PCI DSS version 3.2.1 will remain active for two years from the v4.0 publication date.

Is there a place for palliative care within mental health? This inspirational book offers an excellent foundation for integrating best-practice specialist palliative care into serious and enduring mental health service delivery. The shared practice values and vision between these two disciplines provide an optimistic starting point from which to address the lack of palliative care service delivery in mental health practice. Focusing on the similarity in philosophy between palliative care and mental health practice, it incorporates: . person-centred practice . relationship-based connectedness . a belief in compassionate care . respect for autonomy and choice . quality-of-life issues. The book addresses the practice skills needed in preparation for competent intervention and treatment. Each chapter develops a theoretical framework which is supported by practical application. Both professionals and students of palliative care will find the interactive text and practical case studies especially valuable, as will the professional working in substance use. Its userfriendly approach will appeal to a wide range of readers in various related disciplines. 'While it could be assumed that mental health has a lot to offer palliative care, we both [feel] that palliative care could offer more to mental health practice...It is a neglected area. There is little or no literature related to palliative care within serious mental health practice, and that which does exist relates to care of the dying in terms of cancer.' From the Preface

Mit den Grundlagen und Methoden der Psychiatrie schlieBt die 2. Auflage der Psychiatrie der Gegenwart abo Vieles gabe es angesichts dieses SchluBpunktes zu bedenken, manches hat die vier Herausgeber im Laufe der Jahre beschiiftigt, hat ihnen AnlaB zu ausgiebigen Gesprachen gegeben. Autoren sagten zu und sagten ab, neue Perspektiven eroffneten sich und muBten entsprechend gewiirdigt werden. Dankbar gedenken wir der Vorganger, H.W. GRUHLE t, W. MAYER- GROSS t, R. JUNG, M. MULLER. Das Ziel blieb bis zuletzt dassel be: Die Psychiatrie der Gegenwart solI kein Handbuch im klassischen Sinn sein, solI keine liickenlose Darstellung des gesam- ten psychiatrischen Wissens bieten. Sie strebt auch nicht bibliographische Voll- standigkeit an. So spiegelt denn die Auswahl der Themen, ihre Gewichtung nach Seitenzahl vorwiegend das wider, was die vier Herausgeber fUr besonders wichtig und neu erachteten. Am Ende dieser 2. Auflage angelangt, konnte es verlockend sein, sich im Riickblick ein Urteil iiber die Fortschritte der Psychiatrie im Zeitraum von 15 J ahren' zu bilden. Dies auf beschranktem Platz darzustellen, wiirde jedoch den Rahmen eines Vorwortes sprengen. Und gerade hier wiirden sich wohl die unterschiedlichen Meinungen der Herausgeber offenbaren, wiirde der Kon- sensus, der sich in der Themen- und Autorenwahl herauskristallisiert hatte, kaum mehr moglich. So solI denn nur im Rahmen der Grundlagen und Methoden der Psychiatrie, deren erster Band hier vOrliegt und deren zweiter unmittelbar folgt, auf gewisse Unterschiede gegeniiber der 1. Auflage hingewiesen werden.

Dieses Buch befasst sich erstmalig mit dem in der Psychiatrie aktuellen Thema des "sozialen Netzwerks" im deutschen Sprachraum. Neben konzeptuellen und methodischen Fragen der Netzwerkforschung werden die Ergebnisse empirischer Untersuchungen zur Beziehung zwischen sozialem Netzwerk und psychischen Stoerungen vorgestellt. Dabei liegt der Schwerpunkt auf der Bedeutung sozialer Netzwerke fur die Entstehung und den Verlauf psychischer Stoerungen, der Auswirkung psychischer Krankheit auf die sozialen Beziehungen der Patienten und dem Einfluss sozialer Netzwerke auf das Krankheitsverhalten. Ausserdem wird die Anwendung des Netzwerkkonzepts in der psychiatrischen Praxis anhand mehrerer Beispiele illustriert. Das Spektrum der berucksichtigten psychischen Stoerungen reicht von Neurosen, psychosomatischen Syndromen und Alkoholabhangigkeit uber funktionelle Psychosen bis hin zu gerontologischen psychiatrischen Erkrankungen. Dem Leser wird ein reprasentativer UEberblick uber den "state of the art" der psychiatrischen Netzwerkforschung im deutschen Sprachraum vermittelt.
