Drawing together motivational theory, research-based evidence and
guidance for best practice, this book presents innovative models
for goal-setting and goal pursuit in therapy with children. Setting
goals not only allows children, and their families, to engage with
the overall therapeutic process, but it also provides an essential
motivational element throughout the entire therapeutic process. The
editors and contributors give practical advice on empathically
collaborating with the child and his or her family, to clearly
identify achievable goals that can be wholeheartedly pursued. Key
information on Self-Determination Theory (SDT) is accessibly
explained, which will aid professional understanding of the
relationship between motivation, goal-setting, and strong
therapeutic practice. The approaches in this book can be used by a
wide range of professionals, including those who specialise in
working with children with physical disabilities, learning
disabilities, and emotional and behavioural difficulties. The
combination of theory, research and practical advice makes this
book an essential resource for professionals working
therapeutically with children, including occupational therapists,
speech and language therapists, physiotherapists, counsellors,
psychologists, social workers, arts therapists and
psychotherapists.
The premise of Fallen Animals is that some how and in some way The
Fall of Adam and Eve as related in the Bible has affected all
living beings from the largest to the smallest, from the oldest to
the youngest, regardless of gender and geography. The movement from
the blissful arena of the Garden of Eden to the uncertain reality
of exile altered in an overt or nuanced fashion the attitudes,
perceptions, and consciousness of animals and humanity alike.
Interpretations of these reformulations as well as the original
story of the Paradise Garden have been told and retold for
millennia in a variety of cultural contexts, languages, societies,
and religious environments. Throughout all those retellings,
animals have been a constant presence positively and negatively,
actively and passively, from the creation of birds, fish, and
mammals to the agency of the serpent in the Fall narrative. The
serpent in the Garden of Eden is but one example of the ambivalence
which has characterized the human-animal relationship over the
centuries, both across, and within, cultures, societies and
traditions. The book examines the interpretations, functions and
interactions of the Fall - physical, moral, artistic and otherwise
- as represented through animals, or through human-animal
interactions.
Profound cultural change defined the Byzantine world. For centuries
after its embrace of Christianity, exchanges of ideas, objects,
peoples and identities continued to flow across an empire that
found itself located at the crossroads of so many other worlds.
This book brings together a selection of important contributions to
the study of cross-cultural exchange in the Byzantine world in its
largest geographic and temporal sense. It employs an
interdisciplinary and comparative approach, presenting papers first
given by graduate and early career academic researchers from around
the world at the XVII International Graduate Conference of the
Oxford University Byzantine Society, held on 27 and 28 February
2015. Le monde byzantin se caracterise par de profondes mutations
culturelles. Durant les siecles suivant l'adoption du
christianisme, la diffusion des idees, la circulation des objets,
les mouvements des peuples et le dialogue entre les identites n'ont
pas cesse de metamorphoser cet empire lui-meme situe au carrefour
d'un grand nombre d'autres civilisations. Cet ouvrage rassemble
plusieurs contributions soigneusement choisies et constitue un
apport majeur a l'etude des echanges culturels dans le monde
byzantin dans un cadre geographique et temporel large. Son approche
interdisciplinaire et comparative presente des interventions
inedites d'etudiants et de jeunes chercheurs venus du monde entier
pour participer a la dix-septieme conference internationale de
l'Oxford University Byzantine Society qui s'est tenue les 27 et 28
fevrier 2015.
