        Being Able to Stop

        Against the delusion of permanent growth

        by Edited by Jean-Pierre Wils

        We moderns were the inhabitants of an age of impetuous forward movement and voracious discontent. Our main virtue was to increase our reach. Increasing our having and accelerating our being were the signposts towards the future. We just could not get enough. Using the blinkers of ignorance and self-anaesthesia, however, we managed to forget the tremendous costs incurred by this intoxication. Now disillusionment has set in. We look to the future with anxiety. We know that we have long since crossed a line and that a revision of our lifestyle is imminent. We have a bad feeling, and doubts about progress often give way to anger and rebellion. Which stocks of the modern narrative should we defend; which would we do better to let go? How will we even "be able to stop"? The path to a different society needs an attractive goal, because without the prospect of a different, better life, we will not move forward. We should start practising immediately. There is no time to lose.

        Fundamentals of Basal Stimulation® in Nursing

        The Basics

        by Christel Bienstein, Andreas Fröhlich

        Basal stimulation supports people in critical life situations, whose communi­cation and regulation skills are signif­cantly limited or permanently impaired. Perception, communication, and move­ment skills are central to this concept. Basal stimulation is a form of holistic, body­related communication for people with major limitations. The authors Bienstein and Fröhlich demonstrate how carers can address, enable, stimulate, touch and calm peo­ple through sensory provisions. They specifcally describe key elements of nursing with regard to breathing, bath­ing, rubs (ASE), full and partial washes, dressing, support, dental hygiene, mobi­lization, positioning, washing and help in swallowing.

        High-functioning Depression

        The overlooked condition. An educational book

        by Michelle Hildebrandt

        The image many people have of depression is devastating - a chronic condition that leaves not only the sufferer but also their loved ones at a loss. Unfortunately, psychotherapies often focus on deficits rather than individual strengths and resources. Although this makes patients feel understood, there is a risk that they will become stuck in the role of victim. But what about those who seem to be functioning normally, those who masterfully hide their depression behind a smile? High-functioning depression" is often overlooked because people affected by it have good coping strategies to deal with everyday life. In this groundbreaking book, Dr Michelle Hildebrandt, a specialist in psychiatry and psychotherapy, shows how high-functioning depression can be recognised and how resource-oriented therapy can help not only those affected, but also other people with depression and their relatives. This book broadens the picture of depression and creates a space of hope.
