Performance and Cosmopolitics is a ground-breaking study of
cross-cultural theatre in the Australasian region. Focusing on a
range of theatrical events and practices in avant-garde, mainstream
and community contexts, this book explores the cultural, political
and ethical dimensions of Australia's engagement with Asia.
Aboriginal theatre is also featured as an important aspect of
regional arts traffic. A complex and fascinating analysis that
sheds light on international arts marketing, broader trends in
cross-cultural performance training, and current debates in
performance studies.
Since 1992, marijuana use among 8th graders has tripled, among 10th
graders it has nearly doubled, and its use among high school
seniors has increased by 50 percent. The use of other illicit drugs
is also heavily on the rise. Yet, there exists very little research
and literature on the etiology and prevention of drug abuse among
those most at risk--disadvantaged, inner-city, minority youth. The
Etiology and Prevention of Drug Abuse Among Minority Youth is an
important first step in remedying this gap in the literature and
for getting at the heart of the psychosocial factors that promote
and sustain drug use among minority youth.The book's chapters
evolved from a program of research funded by the National Institute
on Drug Abuse and Cornell University Medical College's Institute
for Prevention Research concerning drug abuse prevention with
multi-ethnic youth. So that you might learn effective strategies
for intervening with at-risk adolescents and teenagers, The
Etiology and Prevention of Drug Abuse Among Minority Youth
discusses: correlates and predictors of alcohol and drug use
community-based skills interventions how youths offset feelings of
distress or self-derogation by bonding with deviant peers the
advantages of community-oriented outreach programs the role of
cultural factors as they shape vulnerability to adolescent alcohol
and drug use the role of ethnic identity as a moderator of
psychosocial risk for alcohol and marijuana use the needs of youth
at high risk for future use preventing gateway drug use drug use
among youth living in homeless shelters the conditions of public
housing and how they affect the etiology of drug abuseAn essential
tool for policymakers, social workers, clinicians, researchers,
psychiatrists, and other professionals in chemical dependency and
narcotics rehabilitation, The Etiology and Prevention of Drug Abuse
Among Minority Youth provides you with vital insight on the causes
of drug use among minority adolescents, the strengths and
limitations of different intervention approaches, and incentive to
find appropriate ways for working with at-risk, minority teenagers.
This analysis of modern Chilean society provides the historical
basis for current trends, and serves as good background material
for a composite study.
Why and how do music and abstract art pack such universal appeal?
Why do they often have 'therapeutic' efficacy?
Between Couch and Piano links well-established psychoanalytic ideas
with historical and neurological theory to help us begin to
understand some of the reasons behind music's ubiquity and power.
Drawing on new psychoanalytic understanding as well as advances in
neuroscience, this book sheds light on the role of the arts as
stimulus, and as a key to creative awareness. Subjects covered
include:
* music in relation to the trauma of loss
* music in connection with wholeness and the sense of
identity
* the ability of music to jump-start normal feelings, motion and
identity where these have been seemingly destroyed by neurological
disease
* the theory of therapeutic efficacy of music and art.
Between Couch and Piano is a comprehensive overview that will be of
interest to all those intrigued by the interrelation of
psychoanalysis and the creative arts.

As the title suggests, this volume focuses on the ever-increasing
problem of child and adolescent substance abuse. Substance Abuse in
Children and Adolescents is unique because it devotes particular
attention to the evaluation of intervention programs aimed at
preventing substance abuse among youth. The authors elaborate on
the scope of substance abuse, current theory and research regarding
causes and risk factors, and alternative intervention approaches.
Various types of interventions and approaches are broadly outlined
from community-, school- and media-based interventions to more
traditional forms of inpatient and outpatient treatments. Both
treatment and prevention programs are detailed to better convey
current research program applications. In addition, a particularly
noteworthy discussion on evaluation of intervention programs and
dissemination of these programs beyond the confines of research is
presented. Written by three uniquely qualified authors, this
authoritative volume offers researchers, students, and
practitioners a practical resource for understanding and dealing
with a topic of clinical and social significance. "What this book
does best is provide guidelines for developing a research and
service program for adolescents who are at risk for abusing
substances. The issues that need to be dealt with in designing,
implementing, evaluating, and disseminating a program and place are
presented and explained thoroughly. . . . [This book] will help a
diverse group of individuals understand and avoid the pitfalls of
designing, implementing, and evaluating prevention and intervention
programs for adolescents who are abusing substances."
--Contemporary Psychology "[A part of] Sage's excellent
Developmental Clinical Psychology and Psychiatry series. All three
authors are experienced and sophisticated investigators in the
domain of social welfare, public health and developmental
psychology. This book reviews the various facets of substance abuse
among young people. Particular attention is given to the design,
implementation, and evaluation of intervention programs geared
towards reducing the risk of substance abuse in such individuals."
--Child & Family Behavior Therapy "Schinke et al. have done a
remarkable job providing readers with a basic foundation with which
to understand the state of the art in substance abuse prevention.
As such, this book will prove very useful for practitioners who are
contemplating the development of substance abuse prevention
programs. Additionally, the overview of prevention, coupled with
its clarity of expression and reasonable price make it an ideal
addition to social work courses on children and adolescents, school
of social work, or the prevention and treatment of chemical abuse."
--Research on Social Work Practice "This is an interesting book. .
. . The authors do cite some of the relevant demographic data
concerning younger substance users in America, and some recent work
on the issue of primary prevention." --Clinical Psychology Forum
"This book is highly recommended to individuals involved in the
planning, implementation, and evaluation of alcohol and other drug
prevention programs for children and youth. The text can be a
valuable resource particularly to health educators involved in the
evaluation and dissemination of these programs. The text can also
be an important resource for utilization in courses in which
methods for the evaluation and dissemination of health education
programs is emphasized as part of the course curricula. The minimal
cost of this volume makes it an exceptional value in the
marketplace of books in health education." --Health Values
"Drug Abuse Prevention with Multiethnic Youth offers well-written chapters by well-qualified authors. This volume provides good documentation on a subject that is timely and important." --Jacob U. Gordon, Ph.D., Executive Director, Institute for Black Leadership Development and Research, The University of Kansas Contributors to this probing volume examine the connection between race/ethnicity and drug abuse and investigate how understanding this connection can play a role in the development of prevention programs for multiethnic youths. The first chapters review the terms ethnicity and ethnic identity and their representation in drug abuse research, considering specific problems and challenges that confront researchers who study substance abuse in minority communities. Next, the contributors focus on drug use prevalence rates and observed racial/ethnic differences in adolescent drug use. This sensitive and proactive volume concludes with a comprehensive analyses of models of drug abuse prevention in a variety of settings--homes, schools, communities, and homeless shelters. Members of the helping professions, researchers in drug abuse treatment and prevention, and students in related public health courses will find information in this volume invaluable to better understanding and responding to multiethnic youths in crisis and at risk of drug abuse.
Gall has compiled what is almost certainly the definitive study of
right-to-work campaigns at the national and state levels since the
early 1940's. . . . The author's emphasis on carefully documenting
these campaigns means that this book will primarily interest
specialists in political science and labor history. Further, this
book will be a handy reference source for other readers who want to
separate rhetoric from reality on this contentious issue. Choice
The Politics of Right to Work presents both a comprehensive history
of organized labor's response to the challenges posed by the right
to work movement and an in-depth examination of the partisan
political dimensions of that challenge. The first full-length
treatment of the subject to cover the period from the early 1940s
through the late 1970s, the study uses qualitative and quantative
analytical techniques to examine the political implications of
states' attempts to restrict union security since the first
right-to-work laws were passed in Novermber 1944.
Rudolf Steiner is perhaps most widely known as the founder of the
Waldorf schools and for his challenging and innovative ideas on
children's mental development and education. What these ideas are
and how they are put into practice are not so well known. Steiner
Education is a clear exposition of Steiner's view of the child as a
developing personality based on body, soul, and spirit. It
describes the stages of the child's development and gives a
detailed account of the Steiner/Waldorf school curriculum and
teaching methods. It will be useful both to those already involved
with Steiner/Waldorf schools and also to anyone who wants to learn
more about this well-established alternative to the state
educational system.

Patients with pain disorders pose many clinical challenges for the
attending physician. Even experienced clinicians occasionally
arrive at the point where diagnostic, work-up, treatment, or
prognostic thinking becomes blocked.
Pain teaches the reader to recognize and appropriately treat a
variety of pain disorders using a case study format. Divided into
three section, chronic pain conditions, chronic pain and related
disorders, and treatment overview, and derived from consultation
requests from providers in medical practice, the cases are written
in a format that encourages the reader to formulate a differential
diagnosis and treatment plan for a variety of pain problems.
Succinct in its presentation and logical in its layout, Pain is the
perfect resource for the busy practitioner on the go.
Since the election of a New Labour government, the cultural
domain has been politically charged like never before. Official
manifestos have been published and public projects have
proliferated, signalling a level of ideological attention to
culture unprecedented in democratic societies. This is an era of
'cultural capitalism', in which an extremely static conception of
culture is required to absorb or efface ideological conflict,
rather than give expression to it, or otherwise resolve it. Art and
design, film and architecture take on the roles of cementing
national identity, of staging the collapse of artistic into
economic value, of categorically separating political commitment
from individual experience.
"Cultural Capitalism" presents a series of differing inflections
of the relationship between politics and culture. Its contributors
include a veteran of the cultural studies wars in America, a
business consultant on cultural affairs in Europe, and scholars
working in the fields of politics and cultural theory. The first
half of the book examines the state of interdisciplinary studies,
critically assesssing their ability to grapple with the current
phase of capitalist expansion. The second half looks explicity at
the cultural politics of New Labour, including its relationship to
discourses of managerialism, its fascination with "grands projets,"
and its self- mythologising investment in the concept of spin.
This book resists the defeatist suggestion that politics is now
merely 'cultural politics', but also challenges those who find the
'contamination' of politics by culture unacceptable. It will be
indispensable to students and observers of the contemporary
political scene, to those curious about whatever happened to
cultural studies, and to everyone frustrated at the impoverishment
of art, culture and politics in the current climate.
