The Handbook of Mind/Body Integration in Child and Adolescent
Development examines issues relating to the mind/body connection in
the development of children and adolescents, addressing problems of
adverse life experiences with clinical implications, including
somatization, functional or unexplained medical disturbances in
various organ systems, psychosomatic conditions, and the effects.
It discusses the interactions of emotions, experiences, thoughts in
the mind – and their manifestations in the body – of children
and youth. The book describes the effects of bodily conditions on
the emotional state and mental functioning of children, such as
cerebral palsy, major medical conditions, and other chronic health
problems. It also explores the effects of chronic stress as well as
child neglect and abuse on bodily manifestations.Key areas of
coverage include: Developmental issues in the embodiment of self
and body image in children and adolescents. Trauma and mind/body
consequences in children and adolescents. Munchausen syndrome by
proxy. Unexplained medical conditions, somatoform disorders, and
conversion disorders during childhood and adolescence, including
unexplained conditions in different organ systems (e.g.,
gastrointestinal, dermatological, neurological). Body/mind
conditions in youth with physical and intellectual disabilities and
chronic or severe medical conditions, including palliative care.
Complementary and alternative treatment approaches to mind/body
issues in children and adolescents, supplementing the usual mental
health interventions. The Handbook of Mind/Body Integration in
Child and Adolescent Psychiatry is an essential resource for
researchers, professors, and graduate students as well as
clinicians, therapists, and related professionals in developmental
psychology, child and adolescent psychiatry, family therapy, social
work, pediatrics, and public health.
This book deals with two areas: Global Commons and Security:
inextricably melted together and more relevant than ever in a world
which is ever globalized and... with an incognita looming on the
horizon: the effects of the Coronavirus pandemic upon the
International Relations and globalization. Global Commons have
always been relevant. It was Mahan who argued that the first and
most obvious light in which the sea presents itself from the
political and social point of view, is that of a great highway; or
better, perhaps, of a wide common... Nowadays, this view has been
further developed and, in addition to the unique legal implications
that the Global Commons introduce, they are viewed, more and more
intently, as a common pool of resources. Or perhaps, not that
common... Resources, the key word! Which has to be always
supplemented by two key words: access and security. And still,
another one: data, the cyberspace contribution to the equation.
In his early twenties, Alan Woodward returns to Baltimore from
World War II only to find himself alone and lonely. With meager
possessions, on a cold dreary day in 1946 he begins a trip
southward to a warmer clime in his search for a college, a home,
and someone to love. Along the way, his journey takes an amazing
turn. Is it cultural--or something else?
Meet the menagerie of lifeforms that dig, crunch, bore, and
otherwise reshape our planet. Â Did you know elephants dig
ballroom-sized caves alongside volcanoes? Or that parrotfish chew
coral reefs and poop sandy beaches? Or that our planet once hosted
a five-ton dinosaur-crunching alligator cousin? In fact, almost
since its fascinating start, life was boring. Billions of years ago
bacteria, algae, and fungi began breaking down rocks in oceans, a
role they still perform today. About a half-billion years ago,
animal ancestors began drilling, scraping, gnawing, or breaking
rocky seascapes. In turn, their descendants crunched through the
materials of life itself—shells, wood, and bones. Today, such
“bioeroders” continue to shape our planet—from the bacteria
that devour our teeth to the mighty moon snail, always hunting for
food, as evidenced by tiny snail-made boreholes in clams and other
moon snails. Â There is no better guide to these lifeforms
than Anthony J. Martin, a popular science author, paleontologist,
and co-discoverer of the first known burrowing dinosaur. Following
the crumbs of lichens, sponges, worms, clams, snails, octopi,
barnacles, sea urchins, termites, beetles, fishes, dinosaurs,
crocodilians, birds, elephants, and (of course) humans, Life
Sculpted reveals how bioerosion expanded with the tree of life,
becoming an essential part of how ecosystems function while
reshaping the face of our planet. With vast knowledge and no small
amount of whimsy, Martin uses paleontology, biology, and geology to
reveal the awesome power of life’s chewing force. He provokes us
to think deeply about the past and present of bioerosion, while
also considering how knowledge of this history might aid us in
mitigating and adapting to climate change in the future. Yes,
Martin concedes, sometimes life can be hard—but life also makes
everything less hard every day.
A true account of a Corrections Officer who's passion for
motorcycles and his motorcycle club was the backbone of trying to
save his daughter's life, his family and friends who sacrificed,
and his walk with Jesus.
This proceedings volume highlights the latest research presented at
the 8th International Conference on Research on National Brand
& Private Label Marketing (NB&PL2021). The topics covered
include: retailing, private label portfolio and assortment
management, marketing of premium store brands, using national
brands to exclude (delist) and include, optimal assortment size,
consumer store patronage, etc. Several contributions also focus on
private label pricing and promotion, especially on the relative
pricing of standard and premium private labels, and with regard to
the national brands in the assortment.
• Is a conceptually complete paradigm and a comprehensive design
methodology for intermediate and advanced game designers. •
Covers concept development, from coming up with a raw idea for a
game to greenlighting a refined version of that idea for
pre-production and later development. • Ludotronics is a
methodology that will help you whip ideas into shape until they are
strong and sturdy enough to qualify for a killer proposal and
become the beating heart of your game design document.
In less than a decade, mobile technology has revolutionized our
cultures, societies, and economies by impacting both personal and
professional aspects of human life. Mobile technology has therefore
become the fastest diffusing technology in history, expanding and
transforming existent possibilities by making technology accessible
and ubiquitous. Emerging Perspectives on the Mobile Content
Evolution seeks a better understanding of the centrality of mobile
content in the recent and coming evolution of both the ICT
ecosystem and the media industry. This publication appeals to a
broad audience within the interdisciplinary field of media studies,
covering topic areas such as journalism, marketing and advertising,
broadcasting, information management, media management, media
economics, media- and technology-related public policies, media
sociology, audience/consumption studies, and arts. This publication
presents a multi-disciplinary discussion through a collection of
academic chapters covering topics such as mobile communications and
entrepreneurship, reflection on wearables and innovation, personal
and mobile healthcare, mobile journalism and innovation, and
behavioral targeting in the mobile ecosystem.
