Offering a new view and a fascinating understanding of coma states,
this hope-filled work explains technology-driven insights and
describes practices with which family members and caregivers can
help promote recovery. Exciting scientific discoveries are
validating what coma therapists Dr. Pierre Morin and Dr. Gary Reiss
have been teaching for years: that coma patients' awareness is both
detailed and complex, and their chances of significant recovery is
much greater than previously thought. Inside Coma: A New View of
Awareness, Healing, and Hope describes practical, body-centered
ways of communicating with coma patients, showing family members
and caregivers how to enter the patient's inner world of experience
to engage their will and power to heal. Advocating for a new,
ethical sensitivity that gives patients in remote and comatose
states a right to exist, the authors explain the newest
developments in the cutting-edge treatment of coma patients through
a mind-body approach to medicine and healing, placing these
developments in the context of the changing field of consciousness
studies. They teach, challenge, and inspire readers to a new level
of understanding, compassion, and intervention, offering basic
tools with which health-care professionals and family members alike
can begin this remarkably effective work. Heartwarming stories that
engender genuine hope for professionals and families dealing with
this most difficult area of treatment More than 20 relevant
exercises that help the reader to understand the coma state and how
to be most useful to the person in this state An appendix that
expands on scientific and philosophical concepts introduced in the
book and includes reference links A glossary of basic terms of
process-oriented coma work and related medical terms A bibliography
In Health-in-Sickness, Pierre Morin suggests that the classical
approach to defining illness and health not only lacks the elixir
perspective on disturbances, an approach that is suggested by
alternative medicine, but in fact, also has an "opposite placebo"
effect, in creating a sense of being victimized and at fault for
having the symptom. His book contains many practical examples and
is useful to both health practitioners as well as patients. First
and foremost, it begins a long overdue conversation about the very
concepts of health and sickness, and what is considered to be
"normal." Morin's book is an important contribution to the broad
transdisciplinary discussions regarding individual and collective
well-being.
In Solemn Words and Foundational Documents, Jean-Pierre Morin
unpacks the complicated history of Indigenous treaties in Canada.
By including the full text of eight significant treaties from
across the country-each accompanied by a cast of characters,
related sources, discussion questions, and an essay by the
author-he teaches readers how to analyze and understand treaties as
living documents. The book begins by examining treaties concluded
during the height of colonial competition, when France and Britain
each sought to solidify their alliances with Indigenous peoples. It
then goes on to tell the stories of treaty negotiations from across
the country: the miscommunication of ideas and words from Crown
representatives to treaty text; the varying ranges of rights and
promises; treaty negotiations for which we have a rich oral history
but limited written records; multiple phases of post-Confederation
treaty-making; and the unique case of competing treaties with
radically different interpretations.
