This book invites us to reflect on the social, emotional and behavioral difficulties of children and adolescents that could interfere with relationships and learning. Papantuono, Portelli and Gibson present a model based on the commitment to reintegrate them into an environment of functional emotions and to recover true inclusion, without pathologizing them. In other words, this text is not a project for the special needs field, but rather a process based on a deep understanding of how true integration works. Through a clear and simple compendium of strategies and techniques drawn from extensive experience and research in the school and clinical context, the authors of Win Without Fighting aim to build bridges between children and adults through love, compassion, and empathy. Understanding and active positive communication that give children the ability, with the help of their elders, to regain control over their own difficulties and thus emerge victorious.

Revered and Reviled explores the ways that Vatican Council I influenced the important issues of papal primacy and the infallible teaching magisterium of the Pope. The book clarifies and corrects many misunderstood concepts and conclusions about the first Council. Although this is, first and foremost, a church history, it is written with the educated lay reader in mind. Vatican Council I laid the groundwork for critical issues relating to the Pope's power, especially the subjects of papal primacy and infallibility. The Council's conclusion remain important today, as Pope Francis looks toward synodality as the way of the Catholic Church. In essence, Revered and Reviled is hugely important because it is the first book to correct long-held misconceptions that have guided the philosophical position of the Catholic church for the last 145 years. With broad distribution, it should impact Catholic scholars, theologians and the faithful around the world.

Alejandra Azuero Quijano proposes to think of the strike as an epistemic outbreak, an event that articulates stories and rhythms of time that allow us to rethink the past in order to understand and update the present. Based on repertoires of resistance and interruption, the national strike reorganizes the coordinates with which Colombian politics is understood, imagined, perceived and represented and, by extension, the political and social reality of Latin America and the Caribbean. The Colombian national strike began on April 28, 2021 as a reaction against the controversial tax reform promoted by the government in the midst of the pandemic. Although the social outbreak began and ended that same year, the historical force of the event went further, launching forms of aesthetic, political and meaningful experimentation that have not yet ended. We are facing an event that has the capacity to change everything: politics, sensible conditions and ways of knowing. For this reason, the strike also calls for the implementation of other ways of narrating, thinking and representing their history.

As a woman with a husband and other partners, philosopher Carrie Jenkins knows that love is complicated. Love is most often associated with happiness, satisfaction, and pleasure. But it has a darker side we ignore at our peril. Love is often an uncomfortable and difficult feeling. The people we love can let us down badly. And the ways we love are often quite different to the romantic ideals society foists upon us. Since we are inevitably disappointed by love, wouldn't we be better off without it? No, says Carrie Jenkins. Instead, we need a new philosophy of love, one that recognizes that the pain and suffering love causes are a natural, even a good part of what makes love worthwhile. What Jenkins calls "sad love" offers no bogus "happy ever afters". Rather, it tries to find a way properly to integrate heartbreak and disappointment into the lived experience of love.

Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson (1902-1994), known as the Lubavitcher Rebbe, was one of the most influential personalities of the 20th century and the only rabbi ever awarded the Congressional Gold Medal. Despite wide recognition of Schneerson's impact, this is the first volume to seriously explore his social ideas and activism. Schneerson not only engineered a global Jewish renaissance but also became an advocate for public education, criminal justice reform, women's empowerment, and alternative energy. From the personal to the global his teachings chart a practical path for the replacement of materialism, alienation, anxiety and divisiveness with a dignified and joyous reciprocity. Social Vision delves into the deep structures of social reality and the ways it is shaped and reshaped by powerful ideologies. Juxtaposed with sociologist Max Weber's diagnosis of "inner worldly asceticism" as "the spirit of capitalism," Schneerson's socio-mystical worldview is compellingly framed as a transformative paradigm for the universal repair of society. The library of Schneerson's talks and writings is voluminous, but critics have described this distillation as artful, engaging, ambitious, bracing, relevant, and imperative.

Heike Behrend defines her book as an ethnographic account, but also as a "story of rather unheroic entanglements and cultural misunderstandings." It is also a story that collects the experiences and words of the peoples of East Africa. Monkey, clown, witch, spy, evil spirit, or cannibal. These were some names that local people used to refer to Heike Behrend during her field research in East Africa.

This book is an invitation for the reader who wants to learn about the thought of this Jesuit, philosopher, theologian and martyr. The figure of Ignacio Ellacuría is fascinating because both his life and his death are the perfect example of his radical commitment to those most in need: the crucified people of the world. This is the hallmark of his rigorous, complex, and multidisciplinary intellectual legacy. Ellacuría's concerns cannot be understood without a careful look at his philosophical work. Although his thinking also encompasses theology and political analysis, philosophy is the thread that links some of his main theological, political and academic concepts.

Alberto Lasa propone para el autismo un encuadre psiquiâatrico a contracorriente. El objetivo es simple: mejorar la vida de las personas autistas, permitiendo que superen situaciones que limitan sus capacidades y libertades. El autismo es una criatura reciente. Pero, pese a su escaso tiempo de existencia, ha dado lugar a un profundo debate entre psiquiatrâia y neurologâia, abandonando a veces el enfoque social. Este libro nos propone entender el autismo como un trastorno que no se pliega a la simplificaciâon biologista a la que tiende la psiquiatrâia. Para ayudar en el sufrimiento de quien lo padece y de su entorno, conviene aplicar multitud de enfoques, ajustâandolos a las necesidades particulares del paciente. En espera de tratamientos farmacolâogicos mâas âutiles y especâificos que los actuales, aâun insuficientes, resulta imprescindible complementarlos con un enfoque social y un tratamiento que incluya la relaciâon terapâeutica en una perspectiva integradora de tratamientos y enfoques.

A graphic novel biography of civil rights leader, Martin Luther King, Jr.

In the work of Arthur Schopenhauer, a misanthropic and pessimistic thinker reviled for his bitter invective, the reader will not find candid thoughts which peacefully accompany the passing of days. However, he will be mistaken if he looks for in the author only a bitter vision of life, harsh diagnoses about the times he lived in, or even, ultimately, an exhortation to suicide. As this selection of texts, by Ernst Ziegler, shows, what springs from his thoughts is the conviction that we must start living anew every day, since it is an art to stay alive.

In this work, the author addressed an in-depth discussion about the truth and its different meanings, and why the truth is essential. He delves into the arguments about why and how to sustain truths that can be shared on the basis of good reasons, and in the face of the post-truth market. In the post-truth era, as truth is swept from the public scene, coexistence becomes impossible. This is due to the force of a power that destroys politics itself and imposes itself as domination on society. Faced with such a serious consequence, the criticism of post-truth is followed by the commitment to a politics of truth, necessary as a condition of democracy. What to do with the truth in political life is not just a problem for now. The Greeks already tackled it. It is convenient to look at them, and then, back, consider how a real commitment can be maintained in our current democracies.

After describing the territory of trauma and reviewing the state of the art of its psychotherapeutic approach, this book offers various action strategies and a large number of intervention techniques designed to empower clients and help them take back the reins of their lives. Traumatic experiences often leave painful and disabling psychological scars that affect the people who experience them and those who live with them. These post-traumatic sequelae pose challenging challenges for psychotherapists. Symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares or intrusive thoughts, emotions such as shame or guilt, and processes such as avoidance or interpersonal mistrust can be difficult to manage, even for experienced professionals. Brief Systemic Therapy puts at the service of intervention with survivors of traumatic experiences a wide range of intervention techniques derived from Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Strategic Brief Therapy, narrative approaches and Positive Psychology. The integration of these techniques, adapted to the circumstances of each case and the preferences of each consultant, allows to overcome trauma, reactivate resilience and promote post-traumatic growth.
