All human behaviour is, ultimately, a moral undertaking, in which
each situation must be considered on its own merits. As a result
ethical conduct is complex. Despite the proliferation of Codes of
Conduct and other forms of professional guidance, there are no easy
answers to most human problems. Mental Health Ethics encourages
readers to heighten their awareness of the key ethical dilemmas
found in mainstream contemporary mental health practice. This text
provides an overview of traditional and contemporary ethical
perspectives and critically examines a range of ethical and moral
challenges present in contemporary 'psychiatric-mental' health
services. Offering a comprehensive and interdisciplinary
perspective, it includes six parts, each with their own
introduction, summary and set of ethical challenges, covering:
fundamental ethical principles; legal issues; specific challenges
for different professional groups; working with different service
user groups; models of care and treatment; recovery and human
rights perspectives. Providing detailed consideration of issues and
dilemmas, Mental Health Ethics helps all mental health
professionals keep people at the centre of the services they offer.
An accurate, thought provoking translation of original work from
sociologist pioneer Tongo Takebe Today's sociology education
emphasizes multiculturalism, yet most of the views originate from
Judeo-Christian perspectives that can limit insight and

Takebe, A Meiji Era Sociologist presents a carefully edited,
accurate translation by Teruhito Sako of original work from the
early Japanese sociologist Tongo Takebe. His unique viewpoint sheds
light on both Eastern and Western perspectives used to describe
societal development and a classification system of knowledge. This
easily understandable source retains the essences of this classical
Japanese social theorist's work while giving an excellent overview
of Eastern and Western social theory and philosophy and discussion
of major scientific advances from the earliest eras until 1900.
Japanese Family and Society is a translation of Takebe's General
Sociology: Introduction (1904, Volume 1) and an excerpt from
General Sociology: Social Statistics (1909, Volume 3). In Volume 1,
Takebe reviews the accomplishments of major Eastern and Western
scholars. Systematically, Takebe discusses the major scientific
advances in physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, history,
economics, philosophy, anthropology, political science, and
sociology to develop criteria for a classification system of
knowledge. In the excerpt from Volume 3, Takebe discusses family
relationships. In these translations, Takebe focuses on the
strengths and weaknesses of both Eastern and Western viewpoints of
societal development in which he demonstrates the advantages of
combining these perspectives. Topics in Japanese Family and Society
include: a brief history of Japanese society early Japanese
sociologists a biography of Tongo Takebe theoretical introduction
to sociology, sociology's problems, and methodology historical
introduction to the sociological ideas in Japan, China, Indian
thought, Ancient Greece, Medieval Europe, and the Modern era the

This book brings together a collection of the author's papers
which, when taken as a whole, address many of the mostpressing
issues in psychiatric nursing today. The papers are linked and
present the 'backbone' of the author's philosophy of nursing. Each
of the chapters deals either with the search to define the
theoretical and practical basis of psychiatric nursing, or
addresses more general issues in nursing which have some specific
bearing on the practice of psychiatric nursing. Each chapter is
followed by an invited commentary from respected psychiatric
nurses, who were given the brief to draw out some of the main
points of the chapter and put them in focus for today's
nurses.Dynamic, charismatic author This book brings together the
authors major works for the first time
DBMM Army Lists is the second volume in the series of WRG
publications providing detailed guidance on the structure and
organisation of ancient and medieval armies, for use with the De
Bellis Magistrorum Miltum (DBMM) wargame rules.
This is the first volume in a series of WRG publications providing
detailed guidance on the structure and organisation of ancient
armies for use with the De Bellis Magistrorum Militum (DBMM)
wargame rules.
Hordes of the Things is a fast-play heroic fantasy wargame rule set
for miniature figures. Using the successful DB rule system, but
based on classical fantasy fiction rather than strict history, the
rules have been used since 1991 and enjoy an international player
base.
DBMM Army Lists Book 4. The High medieval Period. 1071 AD to 1525
AD This is the final volume in a series of WRG publications
providing detailed guidance on the structure and organisation of
ancient and medieval armies for use with the DBMM wargame rules.
DBA Version 3.0 updates the highly successful De Bellis
Antiquitatis wargame rules for recreating ancient and medieval
battles with miniature figures. The brainchild of well-known
wargame designer Phil Barker and his wife Sue Laflin-Barker, the
simple DBA rule system combines fast play play with historical
realism to produce a visually realistic and exciting contest.
"De Bellis Renationis" is a set of wargames rules for Renaissance
battles covering the period from 1494 AD to 1700 AD. DBR version
2.0 offers a combination of realism and excitement for this warfare
using miniature figures in any scale from 2mm to 30mm. The creation
of the experienced wargame designers Phil Barker and Richard Bodley
Scott, DBR can be used to refight historical engagements or your
own scenarios from small scale skirmishes to the largest battles of
the period. With its command system using "player initiative
points", DBR emphasizes the player's generalship rather than their
ability to manipulate a set of rules. It allows players to fight
actions from the whole period and across the whole world, from
Japan to Europe and the Americas and from the Italian Wars to the
Nine Years' War. This edition combines the 2002 edition of the
rules with all three of the books of Army Lists and includes
everything the wargemer needs to refight these battles in one
single convenient volume.
In June 1988, the set of wargames rules for all-arms land warfare
from Platoon to Battalion level during the period from 1925-1950,
written by Phil Barker were published. They proved very popular and
were widely used but have been out-of-print for many years. They
were followed by sets, initially for the period from 1950-1975 and
later extended to cover the period 1950-2000. These too have been
out-of-print for many years. Now both sets have been gathered
together into a single book and published here.
First published in 1971, with a second edition in 1979, these rules
were revolutionary for their time. They were written to allow
wargamers to replay even the largest battles from the horse and
musket era 1685-1845. This popular set of rules were in use
primarily for Seven Years War and the Napoleonic Wars for over 25
years. The approximate ratio was 1 figure representing 40-50 men.
This scale made it feasible to recreate historical battles upon the
table top at the grand tactical level. Wargamers used them for
Marlborough's battles, the Highland rebellions, the battles of
Frederick the Great, in addition to the Seven Years War, the War of
American Independence, campaigns in India, the French Revolutionary
Wars and Napoleonic Wars. They rules included three pages of
specimen army lists for Marlburian era, the Seven Years War and the
early Indian Wars. The rules are published by the History of
Wargaming Project as part of its work to make key developments in
the hobby available again.
The Armies and Enemies of Imperial Rome spans the period from 150
BC to 600 AD and describes the forces of the later Roman Republic
and the Byzantine wars as well as the armies of the heyday of the
Roman Empire. Coverage of Rome's enemies includes Gallic, British,
Pictish, Scots/Irish, German, Dacian, Sarmatian, Frankish, Saxon,
Vandal, Visigothic, Ostrogothic, Hunnic, Pontic, Parthian,
Armenian, Jewish, Palmyran, Sassanid and Blemye armies. It examines
tactics and strategy, organisation and formations and orders of
battle as well as providing a detailed guide to the dress and
equipment of the armies of the period. Comprehensive illustrations
by Ian Heath complement Phil Barker's text and the result is a
wealth of information for anyone interested in the warfare of the
time. Long out of print, the book has been a source of inspiration
to wargamers and academic historians alike. It is reprinted here in
its complete 1981 fourth edition with an updated bibliography.

The aim of the rules was to provide the simplest possible set of
wargaming rules that retained the feel and generalship of ancient
and medieval warfare. The rules were about command decisions not
the detail of combat. The average player would have memorized the
rules by half way through their first battle, but tactical skill,
especially with the use of light troops, took longer. Battles
typically lasted less than an hour, allowing multiple games to be
played in a single day. The DBA rules include the basic battle
rules, campaign rules, suggested mini-campaigns, over three hundred
army lists, rules for larger armies and six player campaigns. The
original rules are supported by an introduction by Phil Barker and
chapters on: Reflecting on the development of DBA. An introduction
to tactics using DBA by Martin Smith. Applying DBA to historical
battles, Recreating the Battle of Zama in 202 BC using DBA by Phil
Steele. DBSA and DBA 1.0 Also included are all four of the original
army lists

'Compelling. What does it mean to be a man? Finally, we're talking
about it. This book is the conversation we need to have-with each
other, our sons and fathers.' Peter FitzSimons, bestselling author
of Kokoda 'A terrific read-gutsy, plain-speaking and personal,
addressing almost every aspect of Australian men's lives today . .
. This book will greatly help the growing avalanche of masculine
change.' Steve Biddulph, psychologist and bestselling author of
Manhood The performance of being a man, from the moment we open our
eyes, until we gasp our last breath, is damaging us, and those
around us. Phil Barker has written thousands of words about being a
man in these strange and terrible times. As a journalist, he has
spent years investigating the modern epidemics of suicide, domestic
violence, pornography and misogyny, but also the essential bonds of
male friendship, fatherhood and men's relationships with women.
During this time, Phil found himself seeing what it is to 'be a
man' in a completely new light. Men are forced into a performance
of masculinity that is suffocating, limiting and damaging. The
Revolution of Man shows us how to rethink what it means to be a man
and urges men to reconnect with their emotions so they, and the
people they love, can start leading happier, healthier and more
meaningful lives. 'Phil Barker skewers toxic masculinity and
provides a manifesto for modern manhood. This well-researched,
engaging and thought-provoking book explains why positive
masculinity is good for men, women and children. We need more male
allies like Phil to create a safer future for the post #MeToo
generation.' Tracey Spicer, journalist and bestselling author of
