Therapy with couples on the brink of relationship dissolution
involves unique challenges. Partners present with high levels of
conflict, low levels of intimate connection, disdain and
discouragement, and limited patience or hope. These couples have
often tried therapy without lasting success, and announce that
"this is our last chance". Partners want to see evidence in the
first session that the therapist can offer something new and that
change is possible. Peter Fraenkel presents a practical, creative,
integrative approach that combines action-and insight-oriented
techniques to help last-chance couples manage conflict, modulate
intense negative emotions, address power struggles, develop mutual
compassion, and restore emotional intimacy and pleasurable
connection. Special attention is paid to developing a collaborative
therapeutic alliance when partners have little motivation for
therapy or faith that it can be effective. Through engaging in
"nonbinding experiments in possibility", partners can then better
evaluate whether to "stay or go".
Guides the reader systematically through the basic methods of
hydrology and site survey and describes how to set up an
appropriate scheme, with detailed technical information; also
covers the essential economic considerations and maintenance
requirements.
Windpumping is an established technology, with over one million
windpumps in use worldwide. A windpump needs no fuel, little
maintenance and it usually lasts 20 years or more. Designs exist
which are suitable for small-scale local .manufacture. The aim of
this handbook is to help potential users and decision makers take
advantage of the benefits that windpumps can offer. This handbook
was first written for a windpump familiarisation seminar held in
Nairobi in November 1986. The seminar was organised and presented
by I.T. Power, hosted by the Ministry of Water Development of Kenya
and funded by the Overseas Development Administration.
Peter Fraenkel here gives a vivid account of a childhood in a
middle-class, non-observant Jewish family in Nazi Germany, forced
to emigrate to Zambia (then Northern Rhodesia) in 1939. Here the
contrast could hardly be greater, from persecuted Jew, to 'enemy
alien' in colonial Northern Rhodesia, to re-assimilation into the
privileged colonial elite. Following education in Northern and
Southern Rhodesia he worked for the Northern Rhodesian and later,
Central Broadcasting Service. Here his pioneering work and support
for racial equality in a deeply racist society connected with his
earlier life - 'no fixed abode' but in tune with humane liberalism.
The three topics discussed in the three chapters of this thesis are
only loosely related. Strictly speaking, only Chapter 1 is about
invariant theory. Namely, it is shown that the invariant theory of
the orthogonal group acting on the direct sum of several copies of
the standard vector representation differs drastically over fields
of characteristic 2 from the well-known theory in all other
characteristics. As a result, we encounter non-classical behaviour
also over the ring of integers. In Chapter 2, we work over the
field of complex numbers. We obtain new formulae for the
irreducible characters of the classical matrix groups, more
specifically, we express them as fractions of polynomials in the
entries of matrix powers. Our formulae can be viewed as unexpected
constructions of conjugation invariant functions of matrices. In
Chapter 3, we work over the real field, and we prove inequalities
for positive semi-definite matrices. Chapter 3 is the most
down-to-earth part of this thesis, it ends with an application to
the problem of bounding from below the norm of a product of linear
functionals.
Thoroughly revised and expanded, the second edition of this
successful text and professional resource offers an alternative
approach to thinking about and working with "difficult" families.
From a nonpathologizing stance, William C. Madsen demonstrates
creative ways to help family members shift their relationship to
longstanding problems; envision desired lives; and develop more
proactive coping strategies. The second edition has been thoroughly
updated with practice innovations and many new case illustrations.
New appendices provide outlines for crafting collaborative
assessments, therapy contracts, and other documentation that
enhances accountability while also engaging clients and eliciting
their strengths. Anyone working with families in crisis, especially
in settings where time and resources are scarce, will gain valuable
insights and tools from this book.

This book presents an innovative approach to navigating the painful
confusions and dilemmas experienced by families in which incest has
occurred. The authors show that while not all incestuously abused
children experience the classic diagnostic symptoms of trauma,
virtually all do experience "relational trauma" disruptions in the
sense of safety, security, loyalty, and trust that may block
connection and open communication with nonoffending family members.
Integrating social constructionist, feminist, and systems thinking,
the treatment model focuses on strengthening the child's protective
relationships, mobilizing the family to help resolve the child's
emotional and behavioral symptoms, and building the family's
resiliency. Through rich, annotated cases, the book illustrates how
to engage family members as full collaborators in treatment,
thereby restoring their sense of control. The therapist is guided
in conducting individual and conjoint sessions not only with
nonoffending family members, but also with the offending family
member. Key clinical challenges and decision points are
highlighted, and ways to resolve them effectively are described.
Included are detailed recommendations on when, how, and why to
involve the offending member in sessions with the child.
