January 2016Mein großer kleiner Osterhase
by Sabine Praml, Miriam Cordes
Von wegen klein: Dieser kleine Hase zeigt, was er kann! "Liebes Häschen, lass das sein, dafür bist du noch zu klein!". Auf diesen Spruch hat das Häschen nun wirklich keine Lust mehr. Und so zeigt es allen, was es schon kann: Mit Opa Ostereier verstecken. Schnell findet der Kleine die besten Verstecke, springt hoch hinauf, bückt sich weit hinunter und kriecht sogar tief in einen Stamm hinein. Und während Opa mit schmerzendem Rücken ausruht, leert sich flugs der große Korb. Als der Opa den stolzen, müden kleinen Hasen am Ende nach Hause trägt, sind beide sehr zufrieden. Miriam Cordes und Sabine Praml reimen in "Mein großer kleiner Osterhase" zum Vorlesen - ein tolles Ostergeschenk für Enkelkinder! Liebevoll und farbenfroh illustriertes Pappbilderbuch über die besondere Bindung zwischen Großeltern und ihren Enkelkindern. Süß gereimte Geschichte, die Werte wie Selbstvertrauen, Mut und familiären Zusammenhalt vermittelt. Ideal, um die Wartezeit bis zum Osterfest für Kleinkinder ab 18 Monaten zu verkürzen.

PsychologyHarm Reduction Treatment for Substance Use
by Susan E. Collins / Seema L. Clifasefi
Concrete guidance on harm reduction treatment (HaRT) with substance-using patients:• Written by experts from the field• Details a unique evidence-based approach• Includes example scripts• Provides case studies• Includes downloadable handouts Harm reduction approaches are effective alternatives to abstinence-based treatment for people who are not ready, willing, or able to stop using substances. This volume outlines the scientific basis and historical development of these approaches, and reviews why abstinence-based approaches often do not work. The authors then share their expertise about harm reduction treatment (HaRT), an empirically based approach co-developed with community members impacted by substance-related harm – a first of its kind. The reader learns in detail about the pragmatic mindset and compassionate heartset of HaRT and the three treatment components: measurement and tracking of patient-preferred substance-related metrics, harm-reduction goal setting and achievement, and discussion of safer-use strategies. In addition, the book provides example scripts for use in daily practice.

Humanities & Social SciencesNovember 2011Containing trauma
Nursing work in the First World War
by Christine Hallett, Bertrand Taithe, Penny Summerfield, Peter Gatrell, Max Jones, Ana Carden-Coyne
In this lucid and cogently-argued book, Christine Hallett explores the nature of the practices developed by nurses and their volunteer-assistants during the First World War. She argues that nurses found meaning in their complex and stressful work by identifying it as a process of 'containing trauma'. Broad in its scope and detailed in its research, the book analyses the work of nurses from Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa and the United States of America. It draws on highly personal writings: letters and diaries drawn from archives and libraries throughout the world. This wide-ranging book explores a range of treatment scenarios, from the Western and Eastern Fronts to the Eastern Mediterranean, Mesopotamia and India. It considers both the efforts of nurses to provide physical, emotional and moral containment to their patients, and the work they did to maintain their own physical and emotional integrity. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2022Disability and the Victorians
Attitudes, interventions, legacies
by Iain Hutchison, Martin Atherton, Jaipreet Virdi
Disability and the Victorians brings together in one collection a range of topics, perspectives and experiences from the Victorian era that present a unique overview of the development and impact of attitudes and interventions towards those with impairments during this time. The collection also considers how the legacies of these actions can be seen to have continued throughout the twentieth century right up to the present day. Subjects addressed include deafness, blindness, language delay, substance dependency, imperialism and the representation of disabled characters in popular fiction. These varied topics illustrate how common themes can be found in how Victorian philanthropists and administrators responded to those under their care. Often character, morality and the chance to be restored to productivity and usefulness overrode medical need and this both influenced and reflected wider societal views of impairment and inability.

Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2018Disability in the Industrial Revolution
Physical impairment in British coalmining, 1780–1880
by David M. Turner, Daniel Blackie, Julie Anderson
An electronic version of this book is also available under a Creative Commons (CC-BY-NC-ND) license, thanks to the support of the Wellcome Trust. The Industrial Revolution produced injury, illness and disablement on a large scale and nowhere was this more visible than in coalmining. Disability in the Industrial Revolution sheds new light on the human cost of industrialisation by examining the lives and experiences of those disabled in an industry that was vital to Britain's economic growth. Although it is commonly assumed that industrialisation led to increasing marginalisation of people with impairments from the workforce, disabled mineworkers were expected to return to work wherever possible, and new medical services developed to assist in this endeavour. This book explores the working lives of disabled miners and analyses the medical, welfare and community responses to disablement in the coalfields. It shows how disability affected industrial relations and shaped the class identity of mineworkers. The book will appeal to students and academics interested in disability, occupational health and social history.

2019Why ADHD is Not a Disease
A polemic
by Amrei Wittwer
In some European countries, one in four children is now diagnosed with ADHD (attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder) due to their socially disruptive behaviour. The treatment usually consists of suppressing the symptoms with psychostimulants such as Ritalin. This treatment does not improve school performance, but it curbs the children’s creativity and may stigmatise them for their entire lives. Taking an opposing viewpoint, ADHD expert Dr. Amrei Wittwer focuses on the physical and psychological well-being of the affected children. Because almost all “ADHD patients“ are facing difficulties in relationships with adults, she considers that a solution begins with the children’s domestic and school environments, instruction of parents and teachers, and by using therapeutic approaches rather than simply sedating the children. “Children are our future”, is a common theme in Sunday speeches. Anyone who takes this point seriously, whether or not they themselves are immediately affected, should think about this important topic.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2021Intellectual disability
A conceptual history, 1200–1900
by Patrick McDonagh, C. F. Goodey, Timothy Stainton
This collection explores the historical origins of our modern concepts of intellectual or learning disability. The essays, from some of the leading historians of ideas of intellectual disability, focus on British and European material from the Middle Ages to the late-nineteenth century and extend across legal, educational, literary, religious, philosophical and psychiatric histories. They investigate how precursor concepts and discourses were shaped by and interacted with their particular social, cultural and intellectual environments, eventually giving rise to contemporary ideas. Intellectual disability is essential reading for scholars interested in the history of intelligence, intellectual disability and related concepts, as well as in disability history generally.
