Maternal Sensitivity Mary Ainsworth's Enduring Influence on Attachment Theory Research and Clinical Applications

Mary Ainsworth’s work on the importance of maternal sensitivity for the development of infant attachment security is widely recognized as one of the most revolutionary and influential contributions to developmental psychology in the 20th century. Her longitudinal studies of naturalistic mother-infant interactions in Uganda and Baltimore played a pivotal role in the formulation and acceptance of attachment theory as a new paradigm with implications for developmental personality social and clinical psychology. The chapters in this volume collectively reveal not only the origins and depth of her conceptualizations and the originality of her assessment methods but also the many different ways in which her ideas about maternal sensitivity continue to inspire innovative research and clinical applications in Western and non-Western cultures. The contributors are leading attachment researchers including some of Mary Ainsworth’s most influential students and colleagues who have taken time to step back from their day to day research and reflect on the significance of the work she initiated and the challenges inherent in assessing parental sensitivity during naturalistic interactions in infancy and beyond. This volume makes Ainsworth’s pioneering conceptual and methodological breakthroughs and their continuing research and clinical impact accessible to theorists researchers and mental health specialists. This book was originally published as a special issue of Attachment & Human Development. | Maternal Sensitivity Mary Ainsworth's Enduring Influence on Attachment Theory Research and Clinical Applications

A Feminist Approach to Sensitive Research Designing the Clay Embodiment Research Method

This book explores the development and implementation of the Clay Embodiment Research Method (CERM) with one of the most stigmatized oppressed and marginalized groups of women in Nepal: sex-trafficked women. It argues for the use of a feminist approach to such research given the prevailing patriarchal norms cultural sensitivity of reproductive health stigmatization of sex trafficking and low literacy of the women involved. Beginning with an exploration of the author’s relationship with Nepal and the women who guide the study and the realization that a more accessible research approach was needed than the techniques otherwise commonly used it discusses the use of clay and photography as ideal entry points to engaging with the women in the research and creating this ethical methodology for self-empowerment. Not only does the volume highlight extraordinary insights offered by the women involved in this study through the application of CERM but also the recognition that its use requires expertise that can deal with the potential elicitation of trauma. The book makes the case for further study on improving the method’s use in research education and therapy involving low-literate stigmatized oppressed and marginalized populations particularly where cultural sensitivity is an important consideration. A Feminist Approach to Sensitive Research is suitable for students scholars and researchers in Gender Studies Sociology Health Studies Anthropology and Asian Studies. | A Feminist Approach to Sensitive Research Designing the Clay Embodiment Research Method

Constructing Moral Concepts of God in a Global Age

Constructing Moral Concepts of God in a Global Age focuses on what people say and think about God rather than on arguments about God's existence. It advances a theological method or step-by-step approach to explore and reframe personal convictions about God and the worldviews shaped by those convictions. Since a moral God is more likely to foster a moral life this method integrates an ethical check to ensure that understandings of God and their associated worldviews are validly moral. The proposed method builds on the work of twentieth-century theologian Gordon Kaufman during the Kantian phase of his work. It anticipates a person-like God who hears prayers loves without end and comforts in times of hardship. To accommodate today’s pluralistic and globalized world the ethical check integrated in the method is a widely collaborative and vetted global ethic the Parliament of the World’s Religions Declaration Towards a Global Ethic. This volume of constructive philosophical theology is written for seminary students educators clergy study groups and anyone interested in delving more deeply and systematically into understandings of God whether their own or those of others.

The Poetry of Thought in Late Antiquity Essays in Imagination and Religion

This title was first published in 2001. These collected essays by Patricia Cox Miller identify new possibilities of meaning in the study of religion in late antiquity. The book addresses the topic of the imaginative mindset of late ancient authors from a variety of Greco-Roman religious traditions. Attending to the play of language as well as to the late ancient sensitivity to image metaphor and paradox Cox Miller's work highlights the poetizing sensibility that marked many of the texts of this period and draws on methods of interpretation from a variety of contemporary literary-critical theories. This book will appeal to scholars of late antiquity religious literature and literary critical theory more widely illustrating how fruitful dialogue across the centuries can be - not only in eliciting aspects of late ancient texts that have gone unnoticed but also in showing that many 'modern' ideas such as Roland Barthes' were actually already alive and well in ancient texts. | The Poetry of Thought in Late Antiquity Essays in Imagination and Religion

William James's Hidden Religious Imagination A Universe of Relations

This book offers a radical new reading of William James’s work on the idea of ‘religion. ’ Moving beyond previous psychological and philosophical interpretations it uncovers a dynamic imaginative and critical use of the category of religion. This work argues that we can only fully understand James’s work on religion by returning to the ground of his metaphysics of relations and by incorporating literary and historical themes. Author Jeremy Carette develops original perspectives on the influence of James’s father and Calvinism on the place of the body and sex in James on the significance of George Eliot’s novels and Herbert Spencer’s ‘unknown ’ revealing a social and political discourse of civil religion and republicanism and a poetic imagination at the heart of James understanding of religion. These diverse themes are brought together through a post-structural sensitivity and a recovery of the importance of the French philosopher Charles Renouvier to James’s work. This study pushes new boundaries in Jamesian scholarship by reading James with pluralism and from the French tradition. It will be a benchmark text in the reshaping of James and the nineteenth-century foundations of the modern study of ‘religion. ’ | William James's Hidden Religious Imagination A Universe of Relations

Caravans Lives on Wheels in Contemporary Europe

In Caravans Hege Høyer Leivestad opens the caravan door to understand how daily life is organised among Britons and Swedes who have relocated either seasonally or permanently to mobile homes. Leivestad investigates how the caravan and campsite come to fit and challenge conventional domestic ideals and how the static mobile caravan can nurture ideas of freedom even when it is standing still. With sensitivity and an awareness of the humour and pathos of the lives of her subjects Leivestad closely examines the shaping of the European camping phenomenon and its day-to-day pleasures and pains ranging from friendships ties to conflictive bingo nights from nosy and noisy neighbours to fake fireplaces and rotten awning floors. As the first ethnographic study of caravan life in Europe Caravans offers a refreshing take on contemporary mobility debates showing how movement can best be understood by taking a detailed look at certain specific mundanities in material culture. This rich and topical ethnography is a must-read for students of anthropology human geography and architecture and for those with an interest in the possibilities and perils of a life on wheels. | Caravans Lives on Wheels in Contemporary Europe

Limnology Climatology and Paleoclimatology of the East African Lakes

The large lakes of the East African Rift Valley are among the oldest on Earth and are vital resources for the people of their basins. They are unique among the large lakes of the world in terms of their sensitivity to climatic change rich and diverse populations of endemic species circulation dynamics and water-column chemistry and long continuous records of past climatic change. A comprehensive study of the large African lakes is long overdue. The scientific justification for such an effort is noted in the previous paragraph and is illustrated in great detail in this volume. Societal need for the sustainable utilization of these lakes offers an even more compelling reason for examination of biological food webs water quality and past climate variability in East Africa. The lakes provide the most important source of protein for the people of the African Rift Valley and fish populations are shifting dramatically in response to fishing pressure introduction of exotic species land use impact on water quality and perhaps climatic change.
