Philadelphia has a long history of innovation in the behavioral
health field, including the work of Dr. Benjamin Rush (1746-1813),
the closing of the state hospitals in the late 1980s and the
formation of Community Behavioral Health (CBH), the nation's
largest city-controlled managed behavioral healthcare organization.
This document represents the next step in the evolution of
Philadelphia's efforts to create a more effective and efficient
system of care. This system is based on the latest thinking in the
field, empirical evidence and the preferences of the individuals
and families receiving services. In keeping with the comprehensive
system-transformation efforts in the health care arena, the
guidelines outlined in this document are meant to help providers
implement services and supports that promote resilience, recovery
and wellness in children, youth, adults and families. They apply to
all treatment providers and all levels of care. They are not
intended to encapsulate all possible services or supports that
promote recovery and resilience. The strategies in this document
are examples of activities and services that providers can
implement. These strategies are not intended to be a laundry list
of new activities that must now be incorporated into all service
settings. The suggested strategies are examples of the kinds of
activities that can help organizations achieve these goals. These
strategies should be modified and adopted based on the preferences,
cultures and needs of people being served and the community context
in which they live. The practice guidelines have direct
implications for staff in all roles. They are framed by the notions
of recovery and resilience. This framework should be the basis for
service delivery.
Cassie Ramsey's nightmares are ruining her life. She left her
birthplace of New Orleans and moved to Washington State in an
effort to escape the mysterious past that has haunted her all her
life. Abandoned as a child, she knows nothing about her parents.
She knows only of her dreams--dreams that forcefully tug her away
from her husband and daughter. Cassie can't fight it any longer.
She has to go back.Forty years before, a cruel shipping magnate
named Bernard Moody raised two daughters, Margaret and Esther, in
New Orleans. The sisters were bound for tragedy. When they fell in
love with the same man, one sister was willing to do anything to
get what she wanted, but what she wanted threatened to rip the
already fragile Moody family apart.When Cassie finds out about
these women and their unloving father, she is driven to uncover the
truth about them. As she watches her own family fade away on
account of her morbid obsession, the Moody family's past could turn
out to be her future. Is digging up the past worth ruining the
future? Cassie must make this decision on her own as she searches
for her heritage and the ghosts that haunt her dreams.

You," in which I wrote memoirs about in the the late eighties. You
the reader, will find this book enlightening, intriguing,
refreshing, sad, funny, and educational. So please, go out and
purchase a copy of my book. If for nothing else, but to support a
sailor who has put his life on the line so that freedom and
democracy can continue to exist as we have grown to love it.
This study examines educational motifs in 1 Corinthians 1-4 in
order to answer a question fundamental to the interpretation of 1
Corinthians: Do the opening chapters of 1 Corinthians contain a
Pauline apology or a Pauline censure? The author argues that Paul
characterizes the Corinthian community as an ancient school, a
characterization Paul exploits both to defend himself as a good
teacher and to censure the Corinthians as poor students.

Generally individuals in history are known for a particular
reason - they somehow influenced history. Very little is known
about the ordinary person who lived in the past. But historical
archaeologists - through their interpretation of the material
culture and historic record - can study the past on an individual
level. This brings archaeological interpretation from a micro to a
macro level - as opposed to the traditional level of society to
community to individual interpretation.
The cases presented in this volume engage material culture that
is owned or used by a single person and is thus associated with an
individual at some point in its uselife. The volume takes bodkins,
shoes, beads, cloth, religious items, grave goods, as well as
subassemblages from well-defined contexts from New England, the
Chesapeake, New Orleans, Hawaii, Spanish colonial America, and
London in the pursuit of the individual and the textured
interpretation this analytical scale provides.
This volume promises to present innovative approaches to a host
of archaeological materials, drawing widely on the range of
archaeological research for the historical period today.
Capitalizing on several topics and research threads with great
currency, such as the examination of material culture and interest
in various and intersecting lines of identity construction, as well
as presenting an international and multiregional approach to these
topics, this volume will be of interest to archaeologists,
anthropologists, material culture scholars, and social historians
interested in a wide variety of time periods and subfields.
The research papers and cases in The Changing Dynamics of
International Business in Africa provide multi-disciplinary
insights on the opportunities and challenges of doing business in
Africa, as well as on the changing competitive dynamics in the
region, as Western, BRIC and African multinationals intensify their
fight for market dominance.

through all the ups and downs, Reginald was putting her

Long before the advent of the global economy, foreign goods were
transported, traded, and exchanged through myriad means, over short
and long distances. Archaeological tools for identifying foreign
objects, such as provenance studies, stylistic analyses, and
economic documentary sources reveal non-local materials in historic
and prehistoric assemblages.
Trade and exchange represent more than mere production and
consumption. Exchange of goods also led to an exchange of cultural
and social experiences. Discoveries of the sources of alien objects
surpass archaeological expectations of exchange and geographic
distance, revealing important technological advances.
With thirteen case studies from around the world, this
comprehensive work provides a fresh perspective on material culture
studies. Evidence of ongoing negotiation between individuals,
villages, and nations provides insight into the impact of trade on
the micro-, meso-, and macro-level. Covering a wide array of time
periods and areas, this work will be of interest to archaeologists,
anthropologists, and anyone working in cultural studies.
Confronting an ecological crisis in 1860, French officials
initiated an unprecedented policy of alpine reforestation. The
Alps, Pyrenees, and Massif Central mountains were fragile and
degraded, scientific experts determined, and the salvation of the
mountains (for the benefit of lowland farmers and urban areas)
would require watershed restorations and reduced access to forest
and pasture for alpine peasants. This book is an environmental and
political history of the disputes over the uses of mountains and
forests in France from the mid-nineteenth century to the eve of
World War II.
Grounded in detailed case studies of two highland communities --
Jarrier in Savoie and Massat in Ariege -- the book sheds new light
on one of the most pronounced conflicts between upland peasants and
the state in modern France. Whited argues that the state did not
push aside seemingly marginal people in a quick, decisive move
justified by the imperatives of modernization. Instead, protesting
peasants employed an increasingly flexible arsenal of political
responses that forced the state to backtrack and compromise.
In recent years there has been a growing trend towards increased
communication among members of the adoption triad. Although many
adoption agencies are moving towards increased information sharing,
there is little research evidence available concerning the
consequences of this practice. This unique study investigates the
consequences of openness in adoption, as practiced by several
adoption agencies. Seventeen adoptive families and their
corresponding birthparents were interviewed. The effects of the
open adoption procedures on family life and attitudes were
assessed. Included are a review of the literature on openness in
adoption; a review of relevant theoretical perspectives; a
discussion of agency practices; and a description of strengths and
weaknesses of current research methods.
There is a distinctive way each word earns its space in Thomas
White's first book of poetry and quotes, "Healing of a Divided
Soul." They fit accordingly after the mastermind of their
structure. Giving you imagery in each piece, and taking you on a
journey deep inside the soul of a man determined to overcome life
difficulties through faith and commitment. "Healing of a Divided
Soul" uniquely shares his story through poetry of living and
escaping life on the bottom tier of the violent inner-city streets
of Detroit.
We all understand how the word dysfunction has become synonymous
to a world that knows normal is not a given. Though the past may be
a part of who we are, we can't let it dictate the kind of person we
want to become. Remember the heaviest chain we will ever wear is
the chain that stops us from changing For once your mind is free
the rest will follow Healing of a Divided Soul is sure to cleanse,
restore, and bring the reader unprecedented wisdom from a Soul no
more divided.
Invariant, or coordinate-free methods provide a natural framework
for many geometric questions. Invariant Methods in Discrete and
Computational Geometry provides a basic introduction to several
aspects of invariant theory, including the supersymmetric algebra,
the Grassmann-Cayler algebra, and Chow forms. It also presents a
number of current research papers on invariant theory and its
applications to problems in geometry, such as automated theorem
proving and computer vision. Audience: Researchers studying
mathematics, computers and robotics.
Who was Paul of Tarsus? Radical visionary of a new age?
Gender-liberating progressive? Great defender of orthodoxy? In
Remembering Paul, Benjamin L. White offers a critique of early
Christian claims about the real Paul in the second century C.E.a
period in which apostolic memory was highly contestedand sets these
ancient contests alongside their modern counterpart: attempts to
rescue the historical Paul from his canonical entrapments.
Examining numerous early Christian sources, White argues that
Christians of the second century had no access to the real Paul.
Rather, they possessed mediations of Paul as a personaidealized
images transmitted in the context of communal memories of the
Apostle. Through the selection, combination, and interpretation of
pieces of a diverse earlier layer of the Pauline tradition,
Christians defended images of the Apostle that were important for
forming collective identity. As products of memory, images of Paul
exhibit unique mixtures of continuity with and change from the
past. Ancient discourses on the real Paul, thus, like their modern
counterparts, are problematic. Through a host of exclusionary
practices, the real Paul, whose authoritative persona carries
authority as the first window into Christianity, was and continues
to be invoked as a wedge to gain traction for the conservation of
ideology.
This book presents a series of informal biographies about major
figures in the history of psychology. A unique combination of
expertise and human appeal, the volume places the contributions of
each pioneer in a new and fascinating perspective. For instance,
several of the authors use the novel approach of having the
pioneers return to the present day to reflect back on their work as
it relates to the here and now. Revisions of speeches given in a
popular series of invited addresses at psychological conventions,
the chapters offer appealing glimpses into the lives of individuals
who made a difference in the early years of psychology as a field
of study. Each of the five volumes in this series contains
different profiles thereby bringing more than 100 of the pioneers
in psychology more vividly to life.
