Parent-Infant Psychotherapy for Sleep Problems Through the Night

Parent-Infant Psychotherapy for Sleep Problems Through the Night

Sleep problems are among the most common urgent and undermining troubles parents meet. This book describes Dilys Daws' pioneering method of therapy for sleep problems honed over 40 years of work with families: brief psychoanalytic therapy with parents and infants together. Offering tried and tested ways of helping parents work things out better with their babies when such problems arise this new edition of Dilys Daws’ classic work updated with expert help from Sarah Sutton frees professionals from the burden of feeling they need to rush to give advice to families showing instead how to begin the challenging journey of discovering new emotions that every baby brings. It sheds light on the sleep problem in the context of a whole range of aspects of the early world: the regulation of babies’ physiological states; dreams and nightmares; the development of separateness; separation and attachment problems; and connections with feeding and weaning. This much-needed compassionate and well-informed guide to helping parents and babies with sleep problems draws on twenty-first century development research and rich clinical wisdom to offer ways of understanding sleep problems in each individual family context with all its particular pressures and possibilities. It will be treasured by new parents struggling with sleeplessness and is enormously valuable for anyone working with parents and their babies. | Parent-Infant Psychotherapy for Sleep Problems Through the Night

Societal Problems as Public Bads

Societal Problems as Public Bads

Corruption crime economic inequality religious fundamentalism financial crises environmental degradation population ageing gender inequality large-scale migration… This book tackles many of the most pressing problems facing societies today. The authors demonstrate that similar social mechanisms lie behind many of these seemingly disparate problems. Indeed many societal problems can be traced back to behaviours that are perfectly rational and often well-intended from an individual perspective. Yet taken together these behaviours can – paradoxically – give rise to unintended and undesirable outcomes at the society level. In addition to addressing the causes of societal problems the book explains why some problems rank higher on the public agenda than others. Moreover it is shown how government intervention may sometimes provide a cure yet other times exacerbate existing problems or create new problems of its own. This book includes an extensive amount of data on trends and geographic variation in the prevalence of different problems as well as telling examples – both recent and historical – from a variety of countries to support its key arguments. Employing a bold multidisciplinary approach the authors draw on insights from across the social sciences including sociology economics anthropology criminology and psychology. Throughout the book students are introduced to analytical concepts such as free-riding herding behaviour principal-agent relations and moral hazard. These concepts are essential tools for better understanding the roots of many societal problems that regularly make headlines in the news. This improved understanding will in turn be critical for ultimately finding solutions to these problems. | Societal Problems as Public Bads

Responding to Drinking Problems

Responding to Drinking Problems

In the 1970s family doctors social workers researchers and administrators had been aware of the inadequacy of the response to drinking problems for some time. However there had been no systematic examination of why such agents felt negatively about drinkers and disinclined to respond to them. Originally published in 1978 this book develops a radical new perspective on the prevalence and causes of drinking problems combining reviews of historical and contemporary literature with the authors’ own research studies. This perspective is then linked to the need for an integrated response from both medical and social services with a particular accent on the need for a community response. By focusing on the relationship between helper and helped a solution is sought to the question which has troubled the field for many years: why are agents like family doctors and social workers so inadequate in recognising and responding to people with drinking problems? The crucial aspects within the therapeutic relationship are pinpointed and experimental studies are described which show how training casework supervision and the redeployment of expertise can help improve recognition rates and responses to individual drinkers. This book thus expresses the need for major changes both in our attitudes and understanding of people with drinking problems and the difficulties of agents who try to help them. It should still be of historical interest to social scientists and those involved in helping people with drinking problems. | Responding to Drinking Problems

Alcohol Problems and Alcohol Control in Europe

Alcohol Problems and Alcohol Control in Europe

The nature of alcohol problems is very diverse and the strategies adopted for minimising these vary even more. Thinking in the study of alcohol problems in the 1970s and early 1980s had focused on the public health perspective seeking not only to lessen alcohol problems by controlling the availability of alcohol but also to promote moderate drinking practices and to preserve the positive advantages of alcohol use. Originally published in 1983 a detailed review of public health issues in this field at the time opens the book. This is followed by an examination of alcohol-related problems and policies for their control in sixteen different European countries. The chapters on individual countries provide a source of information and data on alcohol policies consumption and problems with which it is possible to examine from a cross-cultural and comparative basis the claims of a public health perspective. The final chapter draws together the cross-national data and discusses their implications for a public health response to alcohol problems. This book should now be a historical reference source for all interested in health policy in general and alcohol problems in particular. | Alcohol Problems and Alcohol Control in Europe

The Age of Happy Problems

The Age of Happy Problems

In his first book of non-fiction originally published in 1962 Herbert Gold explores some not-so-happy problems confronting people in an age of mass destruction mass inertia mass everything. While acknowledging that we live in a time of utmost global significance-war on an enormous scale was a reality of the twentieth century and continues to threaten unadulterated evil has exhibited itself in grandiose proportions-Gold tackles issues and problems which are very much of significance to the individual: teaching writing love marriage divorce and death. In The Age of Happy Problems Gold takes the reader through a journey of eclectic characters situations and locales. Part I is a selection of essays entitled American Events. In The Age of Happy Problems we are presented with an analysis of the problems facing people in the middle of their lives and careers. How to Be an Artist's Wife explores the prospect of being married and remaining married to a temperamental and egotistical artist. Divorce as a Moral Act describes the termination of marriage as a means for renewal and the chance to start over again the search for love. The Bachelor's Dilemma evokes the decisions confronting the male of the big city. And A Dog in Brooklyn A Girl in Detroit: A Life Among the Humanities is a memoir on the paradoxes of teaching in a university. Part II is entitled American Places. The author examines in this section various American lifestyles. In Paris: Notes from La Vie de Boheme Gold describes Americans abroad why they decide to become expatriates and how they adapt to their new surroundings. In Greenwich Village: The Changing Village he writes about the importance of New York City's symbol of change experiment and nonconformity. Finally the author meditates on Death in Miami Beach offering a moving account of the relationship between death and the popular Florida city. Gold writes: How can I total it up? What is the map of the map? Well to begin with Plato was wrong. The life of contemplation is not sufficient. and for another thing Plato was right. He knew that men must learn to come together in the practice of intelligence and moral privilege. Gold's essays stemming from the author's own humanity are just as poignant and relevant today as they were when they were first published. The Age of Happy Problems is sure to captivate but perhaps most of all make the reader contemplate the importance of these issues for his or her own life.

Education for Wicked Problems and the Reconciliation of Opposites A theory of bi-relational development

Education for Wicked Problems and the Reconciliation of Opposites A theory of bi-relational development

The recognition and reconciliation of ‘opposites’ lies at the heart of our most personal and global problems and is arguably one of the most neglected developmental tasks of Western education. Such problems are ‘wicked’ in the sense that they involve real-life decisions that have to be made in rapidly changing contexts involving irreducible tensions and paradoxes. By exploring our human tendency to bifurcate the universe Education for Wicked Problems & the Reconciliation of Opposites proposes a way to recognise and (re)solve some of our most wicked problems. Applying an original theory of bi-relational development to wicked problems Adam proposes that our everyday ways of knowing and being can be powerfully located and understood in terms of the creation emergence opposition convergence collapse and trans-position of dyadic constituents such as nature/culture conservative/liberal and spirit/matter. He uses this approach to frame key debates in and across domains of knowledge and to offer new perspectives on three of the most profound and related problems of the twenty-first century: globalisation sustainability and secularisation. This book is a comprehensive study of dyads and dyadic relationships and provides a multidisciplinary and original approach to human development in the face of wicked problems. It will be of great interest to students and academics in education and psychosocial development as well as professionals across a range of fields looking for new ways to recognise and (re)solve the wicked problems that characterise their professions. | Education for Wicked Problems and the Reconciliation of Opposites A theory of bi-relational development

Problems of Evil and the Power of God

Problems of Evil and the Power of God

Why do bad things happen even to good people? If there is a God why aren't God's existence and God's will for humans more apparent? And if God really does miracles for some people why not for others? This book examines these three problems of evil - suffering divine hiddenness and unfairness if miracles happen as believers claim - to explore how different ideas of God's power relate to the problem of evil. Keller argues that as long as God is believed to be all-powerful there are no adequate answers to these problems nor is it enough for theists simply to claim that human ignorance makes these problems insoluble. Arguing that there are no good grounds for the belief that God is all-powerful Keller instead defends the understanding of God and God's power found in process theism and shows how it makes possible an adequate solution to the problems of evil while providing a concept of God that is religiously adequate. | Problems of Evil and the Power of God

Food Security for Rural Africa Feeding the Farmers First

Food Security for Rural Africa Feeding the Farmers First

At least fifty years of projects aimed at the rural poor in Africa have had very little impact. Up to half of the children of these countries are still suffering from stunting and malnutrition. Soil degradation and poor crop yields are ubiquitous. Projects are almost always aimed at helping local people to solve their problems by growing for the market. In some countries projects link poor villagers into cooperatives to produce a commercial output. In other countries projects target more competent entrepreneurial villagers. Almost all these projects fail after several years. Even those that are successful make few inroads into the problems. While the slogan 'feeding the farmers first' comes from the Philippines it is particularly applicable to much of Africa where household food security can come from household production. This book explains how projects can be designed that increase food security through subsistence production. Focusing on particular people and projects it gives a sociological analysis of why this is so difficult to manage. This book challenges the models promoted by academics in the field of development studies and argues against the strategies adopted by most donor organizations and government bodies. It explains why commercial projects have been so ubiquitous even though they rarely work. It gives practical tips on how to set up villages and farms to achieve sustainable solutions that also provide plenty of nutritious food. The book is written to be accessible and engaging. For anyone planning to work in the rural areas of Africa this book is required reading. | Food Security for Rural Africa Feeding the Farmers First

Problems of Adolescence in the Secondary School

Problems of Adolescence in the Secondary School

Published in 1983. Adolescence is a period of change for all and turmoil for some. Many adolescents have problems which are easily identified but for others the problems are more subtle. There is an interaction between their own difficulties and the systems of home school and their own society. In this case problems which are very real are more difficult to define and to deal with. This book aims to help teachers to recognise and understand the common problems of adolescents as they are relevant to their schooling. In addition suggestions are made to help both teachers and adolescents overcome these difficulties. Besides the more immediately obvious issues of learning and behaviour there is also discussion of sexual behaviour vandalism and substance abuse. Throughout the book the common theme is that all problem behaviour must be understood and acted upon within a context and not regarded as examples of individual delinquency. Finally the implications of the 1981 Education Act and its impact on teachers is considered. Under this law a much wider range of young people will be deemed to have special educational needs. Consequently all teachers of adolescents will need to be aware of the issues raised and discussed in this book. | Problems of Adolescence in the Secondary School
