Renos K. Papadopoulos clearly and sensitively explores the
experiences of people who reluctantly abandon their homes,
searching for safer lives elsewhere, and provides a detailed guide
to the complex experiences of involuntary dislocation. Involuntary
Dislocation: Home, Trauma, Resilience, and Adversity-Activated
Development identifies involuntary dislocation as a distinct
phenomenon, challenging existing assumptions and established
positions, and explores its linguistic, historical, and cultural
contexts. Papadopoulos elaborates on key themes including home,
identity, nostalgic disorientation, the victim, and trauma,
providing an in-depth understanding of each contributing factor
whilst emphasising the human experience throughout. The book
concludes by articulating an approach to conceptualising and
working with people who have experienced adversities engendered by
involuntary dislocation, and with a reflection on the language of
repair and renewal. Involuntary Dislocation will be a compassionate
and comprehensive guide for psychotherapists, clinical
psychologists, counsellors, and other professionals working with
people who have experienced displacement. It will also be important
reading for anyone wishing to understand the psychosocial impact of
extreme adversity.

Moral Injury and Beyond: Understanding Human Anguish and Healing
Traumatic Wounds uniquely brings together a prominent collection of
international contributors from the fields of psychiatry,
psychology, philosophy, theology, military chaplaincy and acute
crisis care to address the phenomenon of moral injury. Introduced
in the 1990s to refer to a type of psychological trauma,
experienced especially by soldiers who felt that their actions
transgressed the expected moral norms, this innovative volume
provides a timely update that progresses and redefines the field of
moral injury. The ten ground-breaking essays expand our
understanding of moral injury beyond its original military context,
arguing that it can fruitfully be applied to and address
predicaments most persons face in their daily lives. Approaching
moral injury from different perspectives, the contributors focus on
the experiences of combat veterans and other survivors of violent
forms of adversity. The chapters address thought-provoking
questions and topics, such as how survivors can regain their hope
and faith, and how they can, in time, explore ways that will lead
them to grow through their suffering. Exploring moral injury with a
particular emphasis on spirituality, the early Church Fathers form
the framework within which several chapters examine moral injury,
articulating a new perspective on this important subject. The
insights advanced are not limited to theoretical innovations but
also include practical methods of dealing with the effects of moral
injury. This pioneering collection will be essential resource for
mental health practitioners and trainees working with people
suffering from severe trauma. Due to its interdisciplinary nature,
it will be useful not only to those academics and professionals
engaged with moral injury but will be a source of inspiration for
any perceptive student of the complexities and dilemmas of modern
life, especially as it interfaces with issues of mental health and
spirituality. It will also be invaluable to academics and students
of Jungian psychology, theology, philosophy and history interested
in war, migration and the impact of extreme forms of adversity.
This volume addresses the complexities involved in attending to the
mental health of refugees. It covers theory and research as well as
clinical and field applications, emphasising the psychotherapeutic
perspective. It explores the delicate balance between accepting the
resilience of refugees whilst not neglecting their psychological
needs, within a framework that avoids pathologising their
condition. Moreover, it deals with the difficulties in delineating
the various relevant intersecting perspectives to the refugee
reality, e.g. psychological, socio-political, legal, organisational
and ethical. The book introduces important considerations about the
actual psychotherapy with refugees (in individual, family and group
settings) but in addition, it encourages the introduction of
therapeutic elements to all types of work with refugees. Thus, it
argues for the necessity of approaching every facet of the refugee
experience from a therapeutic perspective; this is why the title
refers to therapeutic care rather than to psychotherapy.

The field of Jungian psychology has been growing steadily over the
last twenty years and awareness is increasing of its relevance to
the predicaments of modern life. Jung appeals not only to
professionals who are looking for a more humane and creative way of
working with their clients, but also to academics in an
increasingly wide range of disciplines.
This handbook is unique in presenting a clear, comprehensive and
systematic exposition of the central tenets of Jung's work which
has something to offer to both specialists and those seeking an
introduction to the subject. Internationally recognized experts in
Jungian Psychology cover the central themes in three sections:
Theory, Psychotherapy & Applications. Each chapter begins with
an introduction locating the topic in the context of Jung's work as
a whole, before moving on to an investigation of contemporary
developments and concluding by demonstrating how Jung's theories
continue to evolve and develop through their practical therapeutic
applications.
"The Handbook of Jungian Psychology" is the definitive source of
authoritative information on Jungian psychology for Jungian
analysts, psychotherapists, counselors and related professionals.
It will be an invaluable aid to those involved in Jungian academic
studies and related disciplines.

and stories in Family Systems Therapy - particularly on how stories
develop within the domain of a therapist's own theoretical,
clinical and professional contexts. The aim is to allow the reader
to understand the uses of stories in family therapy.This book
offers a comprehensive overview of issues related to narrative
which appear in a family therapy setting. Originally embarking on a
joint project to share clinical experience, members of the Family
Systems Group at the Tavistock Clinic discovered that what was
common in their work was their emphasis on narrative. This
discovery led in time to the development of a shared discourse
about their diverse approaches to narrative which are carefully
reflected in the contributions in this volume. Part One sets out
the context of narrative with contributions on bilingualism and the
family's experience of therapy, ending with a thought provoking
critique of narrative. Part Two concentrates on applications of
these ideas, providing analysis of multiple narratives in illness
and loss, gender and language, neonatal care, adoption, divorce and
refugee families.

The Tin Ring is moving memoir of love, loss and hope. Zdenka
Fantlova's peaceful life was changed forever when she was sent to
Terezin concentration camp. Here, she was given a humble engraved
tin ring by her first love Arno. When he gave her the ring he said,
'That's for our engagement. And, to keep you safe. If we are both
alive when the war ends I will find you.' The ring was the symbol
of his love - a tin ring - that gave her the hope to endure
unimaginable suffering and survive in the belief that they would
one day be re-united. Zdenka protected this little tin ring with
her life and with astonishing determination. Never falling into
destructive self-pity, her compassion for other people, her sense
of humour and the ability to take remarkable risks, are just part
of Zdenka's indomitable spirit. Zdenka survived six concentration
camps including Auschwitz, Gross Rosen, Mauthausen and Belsen - the
worst of all - risking her life for the tin ring. In the last
chaotic days of the war in Belsen she crawled to a Red Cross post.
There she was saved by an unknown British soldier to whom the book
is dedicated.
The book starts with the assumption that vagueness is a fundamental
property of this world. From a philosophical account of vagueness
via the presentation of alternative mathematics of vagueness, the
subsequent chapters explore how vagueness manifests itself in the
various exact sciences: physics, chemistry, biology, medicine,
computer science, and engineering.
This volume, the first of two dealing with the Early Iron Age
deposits from the Athenian Agora, publishes the tombs from the end
of the Bronze Age through the transition from the Middle Geometric
to Late Geometric period. An introduction deals with the layout of
the four cemeteries of the period, the topographical ramifications,
periodization, and a synthesis of Athens in the Early Iron Age.
Individual chapters offer a complete catalogue of the tombs and
their contents, a full analysis of the burial customs and funerary
rites, and analyses of the pottery and other small finds. Maria A.
Liston presents the human skeletal material, Deborah Ruscillo
presents the faunal remains, and Sara Strack contributes to the
pottery typology and catalogue. In an appendix, Eirini Dimitriadou
provides an overview of the locations of burial activity in the
wider city.
Theory and Practice in Mediterranean Archaeology: Old World and New
World Perspectives brings together leading scholars from the Old
World and the Americas to discuss some of the most pressing issues
facing archaeology today. These topics include archaeology and
text, the future of large-scale archaeological fieldwork at
individual sites, interpretation and preservation of archaeological
sites and landscapes, past trajectories and new approaches to
regional survey, and debates surrounding landscape and settlement
archaeology. Essays by Old World archaeologists provide an overview
of these themes, as well as a history of research over the last
hundred years. These scholars review the major successes and
shortcomings of that work, identifying critical issues that
determine and define the field. These essays serve as a springboard
for discussion and response by archaeologists working in the
Americas and in other parts of the world. The combination of an Old
World focus with responses from New World archaeologists provides a
uniquely broad assessment of contemporary archaeological theory,
methods, and practice throughout the world.
Ancient Methone is situated in the northern Aegean in Greece, in
the historical province of Macedonia; from the late eighth century
B.C. it was a colony of the ancient Greek polis of Eretria (on the
island of Euboia). Excavations carried out at the site since 2003
by the Greek Ministry of Culture have uncovered remains from the
Late Neolithic period through the fourth-century B.C. destruction
by Philip II of Macedon. These discoveries extend the history of
the city by nearly three thousand years, into Greek prehistory.
This 2-volume work presents results of the project in selected
artifacts, burials and structures representing the chief phases of
the city, in chronological order. An introduction covers historical
sources, excavations from 2003 to 2013, and the unique location of
Methone. Part I details the prehistoric settlement at Methone, from
the fourth millennium to 1000 B.C., and the Bronze Age burials.
Part II focuses on the copious artifacts and ecofacts from the
Early Iron Age "Hypogeion" shaft. Part III presents artifacts and
architecture from the Archaic and Classical periods, through the
final days of the siege of the city in 354 B.C. The significance of
this work lies in its interdisciplinary methods, combining
stylistic analysis of artifacts and source-critical philology with
natural history, bioarchaeology, materials analysis, and
geochemistry. It reveals the long-term history of a site crucial to
the economic and political history of Classical Greece and the
north Aegean.
