The book will provide an overview of the practical application of
remote sensing for the purposes of nature conservation as developed
by ecologists in collaboration with remote sensing specialists,
providing guidance on all phases from the planning of remote
sensing projects for conservation to the interpretation and
validation of the images. This book and linked activities have been
selected as finalists of the European Natura 2000 award
2020.https://natura2000award-application.eu/finalist/3126
The Psychotic Wavelength provides a psychoanalytical framework
for clinicians to use in everyday general psychiatric practice and
discusses how psychoanalytic ideas can be of great value when used
in the treatment of seriously disturbed and disturbing psychiatric
patients with psychoses, including both schizophrenia and the
affective disorders.
In this book Richard Lucas suggests that when clinicians are
faced with psychotic patients, the primary concern should be to
make sense of what is happening during their breakdown. He refers
to this as tuning into the psychotic wavelength, a process that
allows clinicians to distinguish between, and appropriately
address, the psychotic and non-psychotic parts of the personality.
He argues that if clinicians can find and identify the psychotic
wavelength, they can more effectively help the patient to come to
terms with the realities of living with a psychotic disorder.
Divided into five parts and illustrated throughout with
illuminating clinical vignettes, case examples and theoretical and
clinical discussions, this book covers:
- the case for a psychoanalytical perspective on psychosis
- a historical overview of psychoanalytical theories for
psychosis
- clinical evidence supporting the concept of a psychotic
wavelength
- the psychotic wavelength in affective disorders
- implications for management and education.
The Psychotic Wavelength is an essential resource for anyone
working with disturbed psychiatric patients. It will be of
particular interest to junior psychiatrists and nursing staff and
will be invaluable in helping to maintain treatment aims and staff
morale. It will also be useful for more experienced psychiatrists
and psychoanalysts.
'This text serves as an educational tool merging good marketing
practices with the promotion of STEM subjects and research. The
book is applicable to global environments. A useful resource for
aspiring and practicing researchers.'CHOICEApplying for grants,
bidding for project funding or helping to sell products are part of
the day to day life of a research scientist. Drawing on experience
at leading research institutes and companies, the authors of this
book turned to best practice in marketing to make 'selling science'
interesting and rewarding for scientists.The central thesis of the
book is that effective marketing means planning for the impact of
research, and this is a skill that every scientist can easily
acquire. It sets out a structured approach, supported by tools,
checklists and hints from experience so that delivering impact from
research becomes 'just the way things are done around here'.
Starting with gathering background information (in much the same
way as preparing the introduction to a scientific paper), the book
describes methods to analyse the data and to implement a
communication plan.The book is a valuable resource for research
scientists from any discipline, and for team leaders wanting to
involve members of their team in developing their organization's
strategy.
This book considers the place for analytic thinking in the world of
psychiatry with its emphasis on an organic approach to major
psychiatric disorders. It is the result of a conference that was
held at the Institute of Psychoanalysis entitled 'The Organic and
the Inner World'.
Psychiatry and psychoanalysis have often been perceived to be in
opposition to one another, to the detriment of both disciplines.
Rather than see organic psychiatry on one side and dynamic
psychiatry on the other, the British Psychoanalytical Society is
now fostering closer links between psychoanalysis and psychiatry.
To this end, a conference was held at the Institute of
Psychoanalysis entitled The Organic and the Inner World . It was
organized by the NHS Liaison committee of the British
Psychoanalytical Society and its purpose was to consider the place
for analytic thinking in the world of psychiatry with its emphasis
on an organic approach to major psychiatric disorders. This volume
collects the papers from this conference."

In this volume, the authors explain the reasons why subjective
indicators of well-being are needed. They describe how these
indicators can offer useful input and provide examples of policy
uses of well-being measures. They describe the validity of the
subjective well-being measures as well as potential problems. The
authors then delve into objections to the use of subjective
well-being indicators for policy purposes and discuss why these
objections are not warranted. Finally, they describe the measures
that are currently in use and the types of measures that are most
likely to be valuable in the policy domain. The volume will be of
interest to researchers in psychology and economics.
