This volume is the result of over twenty years of therapeutic
interventions with families within the Tavistock Clinic's Under
Fives Service. It describes in detail the process of understanding
young children's communications and behavior and the dynamics of
family relationships within the consulting room in a lively,
accessible style. It covers common themes in work with young
children such as disruptive, angry behavior, separation and sleep
difficulties, and problems in the parent/couple relationship. This
book is essential reading for all early years professionals hoping
to gain a greater understanding of the technique, observational
skills and theory which underlie a psychodynamic approach to work
with the under fives.
Foreword by Harvey V. Fineberg, President of the Institute of
MedicineFor decades, experts have puzzled over why the US spends
more on health care but suffers poorer outcomes than other
industrialized nations. Now Elizabeth H. Bradley and Lauren A.
Taylor marshal extensive research, including a comparative study of
health care data from thirty countries, and get to the root of this
paradox: We've left out of our tally the most impactful
expenditures countries make to improve the health of their
populations,investments in social services. In The American Health
Care Paradox , Bradley and Taylor illuminate how narrow definitions
of health care," archaic divisions in the distribution of health
and social services, and our allergy to government programs combine
to create needless suffering in individual lives, even as health
care spending continues to soar. They show us how and why the US
health care system" developed as it did examine the constraints on,
and possibilities for, reform and profile inspiring new initiatives
from around the world. Offering a unique and clarifying perspective
on the problems the Affordable Care Act won't solve, this book also
points a new way forward.

This book describes the particular approach to clinical work with
under fives that has been developed at the Tavistock Clinic. It
sets out new approaches in the understanding and treatment of
psychological disturbance in children, adolescents, and adults,
both as individual and in families.
This book includes more than twenty computer games and simulations
for use in teacher training. Each of these simulations is
innovative and presents an opportunity for pre-service teachers to
have hands-on experience in an area of need prior to teaching in
the classroom. Information on the simulation origins, including
theoretical underpinnings, goals, characteristics, relevant
research/program evaluation results, discussion of benefits and
limitations as well as dissemination, recommended use, scope of
practice, etc. of each game or simulation are included. Pre-service
and new teachers will gain a number of useful skills through
completion of these simulations and higher education faculty and
administrators will gain a plethora of research-based and effective
training tools for use in their teacher training programs.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Intelligent Data Analysis, IDA 2003, held in Berlin, Germany in August 2003. The 56 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 180 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on machine learning, probability and topology, classification and pattern recognition, clustering, applications, modeling, and data processing.
Two centuries ago, native New Yorker Washington Irving exploded
onto the literary scene of Europe with the publication of his
breakout collection of stories, The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon,
Gent. Published in England and America in 1819 -1820, and
universally praised for its inventive characters and soul-searching
qualities, including the immortal tales "Rip Van Winkle" and "The
Legend of Sleepy Hollow," the volume enjoyed remarkable
transatlantic success, allowing Irving to become the first of his
nation to support himself as a professional author. In this
distinctive collection, historians and literary scholars come
together to reassess Irving's imaginative world and complex
cultural legacy. Alternately a satirist and a nostalgia merchant,
Irving was ever absorbed in reconstituting a lost past, which the
volume dubs "Rip Van Winkle's Republic." The assembled scholars
explore issues of Anglo-American culture, the power of imagery,
race, and the treatment of time and history in Irving's vast body
of literature, as well as his status as a bibliophile, an
antiquarian, and a prominent figure in an age of literary
celebrity. Edited by acclaimed historians Andrew Burstein and Nancy
Isenberg, Rip Van Winkle's Republic marks a rediscovery of this
marvelous author of social satire and fabled tales of the past.
