Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Humans are unique in their ability to create systematic accounts of
the world - theories based on guiding cosmological principles. This
book is about the role of cognition in creating cosmologies, and
explores this through the ethnography and history of Yijing
divination in China. Diviners explain the cosmos in terms of a
single substance, qi, unfolding across scales of increasing
complexity to create natural phenomena and human experience.
Combined with an understanding of human cognition, it shows how
this conception of scale offers a new way for anthropologists and
other social scientists to think about cosmology, comparison and
cultural difference.
In Volume 2 of Current Thinking and Research in BriefTherapy the
author's consideration of Ericksonian-influenced brief therapy
continues. Presently, there is a concern among those in the
psychotherapy profession who worry that this area of science will
become heartless. Others are equally concerned that their hearts
not become science-less in the future. In this volume, the authors
respect both viewpoints and attempt to weave these notions
together. Throughout this book, different types of emotions in
psychotherapy unfold. For instance, Harry Aponte presents a
thoughtful piece on the issue of client-therapy intimacy, while
Doug Flemons and Shelley Green, a married couple, share a humorous
yet sensitive article on sexual concerns in couples, and finally,
Daniel Handel provides a powerful story of the use of hypnosis with
a dying adolescent. In addition to the emotional side of
psychotherapy, the authors include the scientific aspects of
psychotherapy. A discussion about various models of brief therapy
is given, emphasizing that the therapeutic effects of the treatment
models are attributable to "the non-treatment specifics" of the
therapeutic interaction. A review of empirical data on the key
elements of Ericksonian hypnosis and the social-psychological
aspect of Ericksonian hypnosis are discussed as well. Finally, an
important, and perhaps controversial, essay on ethics in the
general non-therapeutic use of hypnosis by lawyers and its use in
recovering memories is presented.
Although Cockney can be considered to be one of the most important
non-standard forms of English, there had been little to no
scholarly attention on the dialect prior to William Matthews's 1938
volume Cockney Past and Present. Matthews traced the course of the
speech of London from the sixteenth century to the beginning of the
twentieth century by gathering information from many sources
including plays, novels, music-hall songs, the comments of critics
and the speech and recollections of living Cockneys. This book will
be of interest to students of language and linguistics.
