Roles and Contexts in Counselling Psychology looks at the different
contexts that counselling psychologists typically work within,
offering a snapshot of the 'day job'. The book provides insights
into roles that reflect the human lifespan from birth to death,
focusing upon specific mental health experiences and considering
roles external to healthcare settings such as expert witness and
independent practice. Each chapter is written by a counselling
psychologist and offers an overview of their particular specialism
and their experiences within it, bringing a unique transparency and
personal insight. The book describes the skills that are required
for the different roles and their challenges and rewards. It also
discusses how the philosophy of counselling psychology is
maintained and explores the associated ethical and legal
considerations. Further, it takes note of the issues relating to
leadership and diversity. The book is an essential resource for
undergraduate psychology and counselling students and trainee
clinical or counselling psychologists, as well as qualified
practitioners.
From flowers and perfumes to urban sanitation and personal hygiene,
smell-a sense that is simultaneously sublime and animalistic-has
played a pivotal role in western culture and thought. Greek and
Roman writers and thinkers lost no opportunity to connect the
smells that bombarded their senses to the social, political and
cultural status of the individuals and environments that they
encountered: godly incense and burning sacrifices, seductive
scents, aromatic cuisines, stinking bodies, pungent farmyards and
festering back-streets. The cultural study of smell has largely
focused on pollution, transgression and propriety, but the
olfactory sense came into play in a wide range of domains and
activities: ancient medicine and philosophy, religion, botany and
natural history, erotic literature, urban planning, dining, satire
and comedy-where odours, aromas, scents and stenches were rich and
versatile components of the ancient sensorium. The first
comprehensive introduction to the role of smell in the history,
literature and society of classical antiquity, Smell and the
Ancient Senses explores and probes the ways that the olfactory
sense can contribute to our perceptions of ancient life, behaviour,
identity and morality.

From ancient Egypt to Imperial Rome, from Greek medicine to early
Christianity, this volume examines how human bodily fluids
influenced ideas about gender, sexuality, politics, emotions, and
morality, and how those ideas shaped later European thought.
Comprising 24 chapters across seven key themes—language, gender,
eroticism, nutrition, dissolution, death, and afterlife—this
volume investigates bodily fluids in the context of the current
sensory turn. It asks fundamental questions about physicality and
fluidity: how were bodily fluids categorised and differentiated?
How were fluids trapped inside the body perceived, and how did this
perception alter when those fluids were externalised? Do ancient
approaches complement or challenge our modern sensibilities about
bodily fluids? How were religious practices influenced by attitudes
towards bodily fluids, and how did religious authorities attempt to
regulate or restrict their appearance? Why were some fluids taboo,
and others cherished? In what ways were bodily fluids gendered?
Offering a range of scholarly approaches and voices, this volume
explores how ideas about the body and the fluids it contained and
externalised are culturally conditioned and ideologically
determined. The analysis encompasses the key geographic centres of
the ancient Mediterranean basin, including Greece, Rome, Byzantium,
and Egypt. By taking a longue durée perspective across a richly
intertwined set of territories, this collection is the first to
provide a comprehensive, wide-ranging study of bodily fluids in the
ancient world. Bodily Fluids in Antiquity will be of particular
interest to academic readers working in the fields of classics and
its reception, archaeology, anthropology, and ancient to Early
Modern history. It will also appeal to more general readers with an
interest in the history of the body and history of medicine.

Like us, ancient Greeks and Romans came to know and understand
their world through their senses. Yet it has long been recognized
that the world the ancients perceived, and the senses through which
they channelled this information could operate differently from the
patterns and processes of perception in the modern world. This
series explores the relationship between perception, knowledge and
understanding in the literature, philosophy, history, language and
culture of ancient Greece and Rome. Synaesthesia and the Ancient

For every one of the more than three thousand abortions occurring
daily in the United States alone, a man is fifty percent
responsible. There are one, maybe two books written from the
perspective of abortive fathers and the desperate guilt, shame, and
torment they silently endure. The Great Pretender is the unlikely
story of a broken young Christian man who struggles with the
glaring dichotomy of his proclaimed faith, while desperately trying
to make sense of his crumbling life. There were no headlines about
Mark Bradley Morrow and the three women he impregnated. His
hypocrisy never exposed, Mark would continue speaking in churches,
counseling teenagers, and leading a DOVE-nominated Christian radio
show for eighteen years. For the first time, Mark Bradley Morrow
walks readers, step by agonizing step, through his story of finding
redemption and healing from a secret path. Yet, his total surrender
threatens to take everything he worked for and everyone he
loves-what will be the aftermath?
At the age of 26, Luisa Santiago has reached the top of her
profession. She is the prima ballerina for a major American ballet
company. Her first ballet, The Offering, is a huge success. A
native of El Salvador, she was orphaned by the Salvadoran Civil War
and raised in the United States by her aunt.Luisa is devastated
when her aunt is gunned down in a turf battle involving two rival
gangs and becomes obsessed with avenging her murder. Luisa meets a
wealthy stranger who offers her the chance to destroy her aunt's
killers. There's just one catch--she must become a vampire.
In this enlightening study Mark Bradley looks at the growing
underground church in Iran. Given the hostility of the regime, it
is often assumed that Christianity is withering in Iran, but in
fact more Iranian Muslims have become Christians in the last 25
years than since the seventh century, when Islam first came to
Iran.
Beginning with an in-depth look at the historical identity of
Iran, religiously, culturally and politically, Bradley shows how
this identity makes Iranians inclined towards Christianity. He goes
on to look at the impact of the 1979 revolution, an event which has
brought war, economic chaos and totalitarianism to Iran, and its
implications for Iranian faith. The study concludes with an
analysis of church growth since 1979 and an examination of the
emerging underground church.
This is a fascinating work, guaranteed to improve any reader's
knowledge of not only Iranian faith and church growth, but of
Iranian culture and history as a whole thanks to the thorough
treatment given to the country's background.
The History of Roman Britain has been told many times before, but
never like this. The Roman invasion of the British Isles
transformed Britain's landscape, but what did it do to the people
of Britain? Curse tablets could hold the key. Widely used in the
Roman Empire, curse tablets were a way for ordinary citizens to
communicate to the gods. The Britons adopted this practice and put
their hopes and dreams down on lead and place them in springs or
underground. Unearth after almost two millennia, the curse tablets
show that the Romano-Britons had a unique religious culture found
nowhere else in the Roman Empire.
Conscious experiences are usually multi-faceted and made up of
different elements. These elements are called qualia, the various
ways that colours, sounds, and pains, for example, feel to us - the
way they appear to be. In this book I defend three common sense
views about the nature of these qualities: first, that there really
are such qualities and that they have features significantly unlike
anything else; second, that such qualities cannot be completely
explained in physical or functional terms; and third, that they are
qualities which have causal effects on our behaviour and the world.
My aim is to show how these claims can be made consistent while
avoiding many of the problems that theories which involve such
claims commonly face. The writing is at quite an advanced level and
is aimed at academics, postgraduates, and those in the later stages
of an undergraduate degree studying philosophy of mind,
consciousness, or philosophical psychology.
