In our increasingly multicultural global society, it has become important for practitioners to consider social and cultural factors when looking at the causes of, and treatments for, mental illness. The American Psychiatric Association recognized the role of culture in the recent DSM-IV. But the DSM-IV leaves practitioners wondering just how they should go about assessing those cultural factors. This book picks up where the DSM-IV leaves off.
King's Classic bestseller about a famous novelist held hostage by his Number One Fan.
Misery Chastain is dead. Paul Sheldon has just killed her - with relief, with joy. Misery has made him rich; she was the heroine of a string of bestsellers. And now he wants to get on to some real writing.
That's when the car accident happens, and he wakes up in pain in a strange bed. But it isn't hospital. Annie Wilkes has pulled him from the wreck, brought him to her remote mountain home, splinted and set his mangled legs.
The good news is that Annie was a nurse and has pain-killing drugs. The bad news is that she has long been Paul's Number One Fan. And when she finds out what Paul had done to Misery, she doesn't like it. She doesn't like it at all.
Paul Sheldon used to write for a living. Now he's writing to stay alive.
We live and lead in an increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world. But paradoxically, Kevin Cashman contends that leaders today must not merely act more quickly but pause more deeply. He details a catalytic process to guide you to step back in order to lead forward in three critical growth areas: personal leadership, development of others, and fostering of cultures of innovation. You and your organization will learn to move from management speed and transaction to leadership significance and transformation.
Ce livre est une étude herméneutique du langage graphique prescrit et dessiné par le fameux plasticien/théoricien Paul Klee. L'auteur de cet ouvrage se penche sur l'analyse d'un motif occurrent chez l'artiste bernois, aussi bien dans ses dessins que dans ses écrits. Ce motif est celui de l'arbre. Ce livre se subdivise, ainsi, en deux parties. Une première consacrée à l'examen du motif de l'arbre dans le langage du trait; ce qui induit un retour sur la syntaxe graphique propre à l'artiste. L'arrêt sur les différentes modalités figurantes mettant en oeuvre la dimension allégorique de ce qu'on voit comme arbre dans les dessins de Klee constitue, alors, le propre de cette première partie. La seconde partie prend soin du fameux texte écrit par l'artiste lui même et intitulé "La parabole de l'arbre." Entre ce qu'avait écrit Klee dans son journal intime et ce qu'il a tracé comme esquisses pédagogique analysant le phénomène de l'arborescence dans la nature, s'articule une lecture du texte de "la parabole de l'arbre" qui dépasse, par moments, ce qu'avait assigné l'artiste lui même. C'est une aventure herméneutique que l'auteur cherche à partager avec ses lecteurs dans ce livre.

I tattooed a number on her arm. She tattooed her name on my heart.
In 1942, Lale Sokolov arrived in Auschwitz-Birkenau. He was given the job of tattooing the prisoners marked for survival - scratching numbers into his fellow victims' arms in indelible ink to create what would become one of the most potent symbols of the Holocaust.
Waiting in line to be tattooed, terrified and shaking, was a young girl. For Lale - a dandy, a jack-the-lad, a bit of a chancer - it was love at first sight. And he was determined not only to survive himself, but to ensure this woman, Gita, did, too.
