Psychotherapy, in order to survive, must shift from curing to caring. The pathological model is giving way to the growth model. Finding wholeness in our confusion requires imagination and transcendence. Healing requires more than self-knowledge and awareness. Only through experiencing oneself, in a struggle of mutual acceptance, are the blocks to the life force removed. The book is about being fully alive. It leads to the thinking of the most profound psychotherapy into the next century. Existentialism is the framework by which the author addresses our deepest life needs. It alone gives meaning to our experience. A seasoned and thoughtful clinician, the author furnishes rich techniques and approaches toward a new understanding of patients' life dilemmas. His solid and dramatic case material shows how he keeps himself and his patients deeply engaged in experiencing life in abundance. This nourishing book will lead both therapist and client away from burnout into deeper lives of optimism, freshness and creativity.

Hippocrates, the father of medicine, practiced and taught on the Greek island of Kos about 460 years BC. A descendant of the tree under which he taught still stands. Let us imagine that the tree symbolizes the profession of medicine. The roots-the ethical and scientific basis of medicine-are deteriorating, and the leaves-the physicians-are vanishing Good doctors are currently forced to work in a bad system. They have lost control of their actions and destiny. This, in turn, is breaking the compassionate spirit of the strongest among them and is driving some doctors out of the profession they love.
Dr. Vance Connelly, whose wife died recently, moves to a retirement community. He leaves each day at 5:00 AM for the internationally recognized Greystone University Hospital to teach medical students, house officers, and fellows. He writes for the remainder of his eight-hour workday. He formerly chaired the Department of Medicine, but continues to work despite his age of eighty-five. This book tracks the careers of two of his former house officers. One seems to be the only doctor left who fits the definition of a truly professional doctor. The other wanders far from his training and succumbs to greed.
The book describes a behind-the-scenes view of certain aspects of the famous teaching hospital; a look at life in a retirement home; the lives of two very different doctors who trained with Dr. Vance Connelly; and, most importantly, the love affair between Vance and his wife Jennifer.

This collection of essays considers the role of spirituality and religion in the lives of American women from various ethnic backgrounds, showing how faith empowers those in populations often marginalized in the United States. Religion and spirituality are sources of strength and resilience for many women, particularly ethnically diverse women. This thought-provoking text examines this psychological trend, exploring the specific ways in which women from diverse backgrounds have benefited from their faith traditions, the various spiritual pathways they have chosen, and the impact of those choices on their lives. Essays in this informative compilation show how women from African American, Latina, American Indian, Asian American, and Caucasian backgrounds recover from difficulties and traumas with the help of their faith. Contributors consider why women are more likely to endorse religious engagement than men; why ethnically marginalized women tap into spirituality for comfort more than any other population; and why many believers embrace religion as a coping mechanism throughout their lives-from adolescence to older adulthood. The work suggests ways for counselors, leaders, and religious figures to utilize this knowledge to bolster the well-being of those they serve. Compares commonalities and differences across cultures Features many different religions including folk practices, Buddhism, Christianity, Sikhism, and Santeria Offers a multi-disciplinary perspective through coverage of cultural studies, psychology, and women's issues Includes personal vignettes to demonstrate the power of faith and religion

What is your fragrance? Discover the process to determine the aroma and potency of your life experiences and the impact it produces on others. God is the True Perfumer; we are the natural material He desires to use. When we come to God surrendered and allow Him to take the composition of our life experiences to use them in His extraction process, it comes with a price and a blessing. The price encompasses absolute surrender to God, submission to His will and a commitment to spiritual growth. The blessing, the continual presence and awareness of God and an unhindered access to His throne and the riches of living an abundant life fulfilling the question we are all born asking, "Lord, what do You want me to do?" When we deposit into His hands our triumphs, suffering and pain, He transforms our lives into a fragrant aroma, an acceptable offering pleasing and glorifying to Him.

When mass protests erupted in Algeria in 2019, on a scale unseen anywhere in the region since the Arab Spring, the outside world was taken by surprise. Algeria had been largely unaffected by the turmoil that engulfed its neighbours in 2011, and it was widely assumed that the population was too traumatised and cowed by the country's bloody civil war to take to the streets demanding change. Michael J. Willis offers an explanation of this unexpected development known as the Hirak Movement, examining the political and social changes that have occurred in Algeria since the 'dark decade' of the 1990s. He examines how the bitter civil conflict was brought to an end, and how a fresh political order was established following the 1999 election of a dynamic new leader, Abdelaziz Bouteflika. Initially underwritten by revenue from Algeria's substantial hydrocarbons resources, this new order came to be undermined by falling oil prices, an ailing president, and a population determined to have its voice heard by an increasingly corrupt, out-of-touch and opaque national leadership. Exactly twenty years passed before Bouteflika's presidency was brought to an end by the Hirak protests--this book is an authoritative account of them.

In the past decade, the growing realization that biodiversity and human wellbeing are inextricably linked has led to the adoption of numerous environmental policies. The concept of the Green Economy has gained particular attention as an economic system where growth is possible within environmental limits. The preservation of ecosystem services and the halt of biodiversity loss are identified as key pillars of the Green Economy. Despite the concept's momentum there is still no clear understanding of how biodiversity fits within a Green Economy. In the current debate, biodiversity is rarely acknowledged in economic sectors other than agriculture, forestry, fisheries and tourism, and when it is acknowledged biodiversity and its conservation feature more as buzzwords than as concrete and tangible components of the Green Economy. This book aims to identify, understand and offer pragmatic recommendations of how biodiversity conservation can become an agent of green economic development. This book establishes ways to assess biodiversity's contributions to the economy and to meaningfully integrate biodiversity concerns in green-economy policies.
