By the end of this book you are going to be part of an exclusive
group. The skill-sets you are about to learn will help you become
one of a select few who can, time and time again, help people make
changes in any clinical encounter.A" Persuading and influencing are
most effective as cooperative ventures that recognise the needs and
wishes a person already has, but feels unable or disempowered to
decide or act upon. Persuasion in Clinical Practice aims to improve
outcomes for patients by helping them to change their own attitudes
and behaviours more easily in pursuit of better health and
well-being. Drawing on fields such as motivational interviewing,
the Stages of Change model, positive psychology and
neuro-lingusitic programming (NLP), the book provides skills and
tactics to help clinicians avoid communicational roadblocks, find
what is really important to patients, why they want it, and then
empower them to make changes in key areas such as: * lifestyle
adjustments * coming to terms with chronic or serious illness *
learning coping strategies and behaviours * overcoming fear of
change. Encompassing a five-step strategy for any change
consultation, Persuasion in Clinical Practice is packed with
information and approaches to enhance knowledge, skills, attitudes
and understanding in influencing change. This book will be
essential reading for family doctors and other health professionals
supporting behavioural change in their patients.
This extraordinary and practical book examines neuro linguistic
programming (NLP) - the knowledge and skills to detect and affect
thinking patterns - and applies it to each phase of the medical
consultation. It outlines the NLP tools most useful to physicians
who wish to understand and utilise the dynamic structure underlying
the processes used by excellent communicators. It explains how
improving communication skills and developing new models of
consultation to incorporate into daily practice not only helps
healthcare professionals become better communicators, but reassures
patients, alleviating suffering and promoting healing. This book
provides many case examples and includes skill based exercises to
ensure easy and effective learning. There are unique, fresh
perspectives on challenging areas such as anger and aggression,
dealing with complaints, breaking bad news, the heartsink patient,
uncovering hidden depression and telephone consulting skills. It is
relevant to all healthcare professionals, and of special interest
to general practitioners, GP trainers, counsellors and medical
students. 'Building on the Calgary-Cambridge model, Lewis Walker
has outlined some of the NLP tools that are most useful to
physicians who wish to engage their patients' physical and
psychological ability to self-heal. It is truly a pleasure to
introduce a book that offers pragmatic tools in the service of that
highest calling, namely the desire to alleviate suffering and
promote healing.' Ian McDermott in his Foreword 'This is a book
packed with practical advice and a welcome feature is the way the
author relates his message to everyday problems and concerns that
patients bring to the surgery. It contains powerful tools for
change to be used ethically and with compassion.' John Duncan in
his Foreword

Renaissance Papers is a collection of the best scholarly essays
submitted each year to the Southeastern Renaissance Conference.
Organized and sponsored in the early 1950s by Duke University and
the universities of South Carolina and North Carolina, the annual
meeting is now hosted by various colleges and universities across
the southeastern United States. The conference accepts papers on
all subjects relating to the Renaissance -- music, art, history,
literature, etc. -- from scholars all over North America and
Europe. This is the forty-seventh volume of Renaissance Papers. It
includes articles on 15th-c. Florentine wedding chests, called
cassoni, on Isabella Whitney, on Spenser's 'April' woodcut, on
Cervantes' El Trato del Argel, on Thomas Nashe's Christ's Tears
over Jerusalem, on the crone as type in English Renaissance drama,
on female speech and disempowerment in Marlowe's Tamberlane I, on
Shakespeare's Richard II and Marlowe's Edward II, on Chaucer's
contribution to The Tempest, and on echoes of Ovid in Donne's
elegies. T. H. HOWARD-HILL and PHILIP ROLLINSON are professors of
English at the University of South Carolina.
The best essays submitted to the Southeastern Renaissance
Conference in 2008, with a focus on the performance history of
Renaissance drama. Renaissance Papers collects the best scholarly
essays submitted each year to the Southeastern Renaissance
Conference. The 2008 volume, in keeping with the Conference's
meeting at the new Blackfriars Playhouse at the American
Shakespeare Center in Staunton, Virginia, has a special emphasis on
the performance history of Renaissance drama. It includes essays on
the use of trap doors in London theaters, on the staging of
dismemberment in Renaissance plays, on the economics of the boys'
companies, and on Jonson's engagement with changing patterns of
theatrical patronage in Volpone. An essay on Troilus and Cressida
and the history play rounds out the volume's studiesin drama. Three
essays treat epic from a variety of perspectives, considering in
turn Spenser's techniques for leading readers to doubt his narrator
in Book Three of the Faerie Queene, Marlowe's allusions to Lucan in
Hero and Leander, and Milton's treatment of names and materialism
in Paradise Lost. Two essays examine decidedly different incidents
of sixteenth-century religious controversy: Wolsey's use of Italian
models to display his magnificence through his building program,
and Thomas Stapleton's translation of Bede during the Great
Controversy to refute Protestant claims about the origins of the
English Church. Contributors: Jane Blanchard, Kevin M. Carr,
Nicholas Crawford, Sara Nair James, Claire Kimball, C. Bryan Love,
Pamela Royston Macfie, James J. Mainard O'Connell, Paul J.
Stapleton, and Lewis Walker. Christopher Cobb is Assistant
Professor of Englishat Saint Mary's College.
