Trusting Recovery and Desistance The Social Components Model of Recovery from Addiction and Desistance from Crime

Trusting Recovery and Desistance The Social Components Model of Recovery from Addiction and Desistance from Crime

The social processes which underpin and shape our lives have the power to significantly transform the trajectories of people experiencing recovery from addiction and desistance from crime. Recovery from addiction and desistance from crime are processes which are often experienced and supported in the same physical spaces and are also frequently experienced by the same people. This book therefore synthesises and presents research on the social influences of recovery and desistance. This book presents the social component model of recovery from addiction and desistance from crime: a strength-based approach presenting case studies to better understand the social factors of both recovery from addiction and desistance from crime and therefore a step towards enhancing evidence-based policy and practice. The social components that have emerged and will be discussed within this book include relationships and social bonds; social identity group membership and social networks; and social capital. Compiled based on observations interviews and social identity mapping methods this work combines and presents theory and research to enhance and strengthen the evidence available for people who are already teaching about supporting and experiencing both desistance from crime and recovery from addiction in practice. | Trusting Recovery and Desistance The Social Components Model of Recovery from Addiction and Desistance from Crime

Psychiatric Rehabilitation A Psychoanalytic Approach to Recovery

Psychiatric Rehabilitation A Psychoanalytic Approach to Recovery

Recovering from severe mental illness is one of the most terrifying human experiences in health care. Often conventional rehabilitation approaches focus on helping the patient with his or her symptoms and maximising the external world through supportive interventions. However often little attention is paid to the internal world of the patient. This subjective experience of recovery is the focus of this book. It describes a particular psychoanalytic model that best captures this distressful state of mind and suggests particular processes that have to be put in place to ensure the patient gets the best opportunity to have his or her fears and hopes addressed. The book also addresses real world issues such as management leadership and training as well as highlighting key research findings from relevant studies. Outcome measures are suggested that could be adopted to measure the benefits of this particular approach. The chapters give many clinical organisational and research descriptions from the real world of psychiatry and social care. | Psychiatric Rehabilitation A Psychoanalytic Approach to Recovery

Freudian repression the Unconscious and the Dynamics of Inhibition

Freudian repression the Unconscious and the Dynamics of Inhibition

Possibly no other psychoanalytic concept has caused as much ongoing controversy and attracted so much criticism as that of 'repression'. Repression involves denying knowledge to oneself about the content of one's own mind and is most commonly implicated in disputes concerning the possibility of repressed memories of trauma (and their subsequent recovery). While fundamental in Freudian psychoanalysis recent developments in psychoanalytic thinking (e. g. 'mentalization') have downplayed the importance of repression in part due to less emphasis being placed on the importance of memory within therapy. | Freudian repression the Unconscious and the Dynamics of Inhibition

The Review Response Genre Structures Language and Functions

The Review Response Genre Structures Language and Functions

Expanding the scope of the metadiscourse construct Ho offers a comprehensive analysis of the online review response genre using hotel managers' responses to negative reviews posted by dissatisfied customers on TripAdvisor. He adopts a robust research methodology that involves both quantitative and qualitative analyses of three different types of data: managerial responses to negative comments questionnaire responses from dissatisfied customers who wrote the reviews and interview responses from hotel managers who wrote the responses. By drawing upon the genre theory and the construct of rapport and metadiscourse the analysis shows that hotel management’s attempts at service recovery can be materialized through the move structures of the managerial responses and the strategies used in managing rapport with dissatisfied customers and in persuading both existing and potential customers to purchase accommodation services from the hotels. An essential reading for students and researchers of pragmatics and professional communication along with anyone interested in the role of language in persuading customers neutralizing criticisms and managing interpersonal relationships particularly in the context of open forums online. | The Review Response Genre Structures Language and Functions

Carl Jung and Alcoholics Anonymous The Twelve Steps as a Spiritual Journey of Individuation

Carl Jung and Alcoholics Anonymous The Twelve Steps as a Spiritual Journey of Individuation

The author visited the archives of the headquarters of A. A. in New York and discovered new communications between Carl Jung and Bill Wilson. For the first time this correspondence shows Jung's respect for A. A. and in turn its influence on him. In particular this research shows how Bill Wilson was encouraged by Jung's writings to promote the spiritual aspect of recovery as opposed to the conventional medical model which has failed so abysmally. The book overturns the long-held belief that Jung distrusted groups. Indeed influenced by A. A. 's success Jung gave complete and detailed instructions on how the A. A. group format could be developed further and used by general neurotics. Wilson was an advocate of treating some alcoholics with LSD in order to deflate the ego and induce a spiritual experience. The author explains how alcoholism can be diagnosed and understood by professionals and the lay person; by examining the detailed case histories of Jung the author gives graphic examples of its psychological and behavioural manifestations. | Carl Jung and Alcoholics Anonymous The Twelve Steps as a Spiritual Journey of Individuation

Space Mobility and Crisis in Mega-Event Organisation Tokyo Olympics 2020's Atmospheric Irradiations

Space Mobility and Crisis in Mega-Event Organisation Tokyo Olympics 2020's Atmospheric Irradiations

This book advances an alternative critical posthumanist approach to mega-event organisation taking into account both the new and the old crises which humanity and our planet face. Taking the delayed Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games as a case study Tzanelli explores mega-event crisis and risk management in the era of extreme urbanisation natural disasters global pandemic and technoscientific control. Using the atmospheric term ‘irradiation’ (a technology of glamour and transparency as well as bodily penetration by harmful agents and strong affects) the book explores this epistemological statement diachronically (via Tokyo’s relationship with Western forms of domination) and synchronically (the city as a global cultural-political player but victim of climate catastrophes). It presents how the ‘Olympic enterprise’s’ ‘flattening’ of indigenous environmental place-making rhythms and the scientisation of space and place in the Anthropocene lead to reductionisms harmful for a viable programme of planetary recovery. An experimental study of the mega-event is enacted which considers the researcher’s analytical tools and the styles of human and non-human mobility during the mega-event as reflexive gateways to forms of posthuman flourishing. Crossing and bridging disciplinary boundaries the book will appeal to any scholar interested in mobilities theory event and environment studies sociology of knowledge and cultural globalisation. | Space Mobility and Crisis in Mega-Event Organisation Tokyo Olympics 2020's Atmospheric Irradiations

The South African Response to COVID-19 The Early Years

The South African Response to COVID-19 The Early Years

This book analyses the first two years of South Africa’s response to the COVID-19 epidemic from its emergence in early 2020. Drawing on the perspectives of a range of public health experts economists and other social scientists and development practitioners this book argues that understanding this early response will be essential to moderate and improve future policy thinking around health governance and epidemic readiness. This book provides a systemic analysis of not only the epidemiological progression of COVID-19 in South Africa but also the socio-political factors that will be key in determining the future of the country as a whole including health system challenges socio-economic disparities and inequalities and variable (often contradictory and tardy) policy responses. Overall this book exposes Manichean thinking and the spurious policy dichotomies that pitch public health against human rights economic recovery against viral vector control and science against ideology with lessons not just for South Africa but also for elsewhere on the African continent and beyond. This book will be perfect for researchers and practitioners across Public Health Health Policy and Global Health as well as those with an interest in South African politics and development more generally.

It also includes critical reflections on the approach in light of contemporary sustainability challenges. The empirical topics covered in the book include local community responses to development projects resource governance disaster response and recovery and historical environmental preservation. The chapters are contributed by researchers working at the forefront of the field. It provides only a glimpse into the vast literature that awaits further exploration and engagement in the future. The book is suitable for upper undergraduate students graduate students and researchers interested in environmental problems sustainability and resilience disaster mitigation and response and regional development in Asian contexts particularly Japan. It is well-suited for courses in anthropology geography sociology urban and regional planning political science Asian studies and environmental studies. | Everyday Life-Environmentalism Community Sustainability and Resilience in Asia

A Long Walk To Church A Contemporary History Of Russian Orthodoxy

A Long Walk To Church A Contemporary History Of Russian Orthodoxy

Making use of the formerly secret archives of the Soviet government interviews and first-hand personal experiences Nathaniel Davis describes how the Russian Orthodox Church hung on the brink of institutional extinction twice in the past sixty-five years. In 1939 only a few score widely scattered priests were still functioning openly. Ironically Hitler's invasion and Stalin's reaction to it rescued the church - and parishes reopened new clergy and bishops were consecrated a patriarch was elected and seminaries and convents were reinstituted. However after Stalin's death Khrushchev resumed the onslaught against religion. Davis reveals that the erosion of church strength between 1948 and 1988 was greater than previously known and it was none too soon when the Soviet government changed policy in anticipation of the millennium of Russia's conversion to Christianity. More recently the collapse of communism has created a mixture of dizzying opportunity and daunting trouble for Russian Orthodoxy. The newly revised and updated edition addresses the tumultuous events of recent years including schisms in Ukraine Estonia and Moldova and confrontations between church traditionalists conservatives and reformers. The author also covers battles against Greek-Catholics Roman Catholics Protestant evangelists and pagans in the south and east the canonization of the last Czar the church's financial crisis and hard data on the slowing Russian orthodox recovery and growth. Institutional rebuilding and moral leadership now beckon between promise and possibility. | A Long Walk To Church A Contemporary History Of Russian Orthodoxy

COVID-19 and Economic Development in Latin America Theoretical Debates Financing Dilemmas and Post-Pandemic Scenarios

COVID-19 and Economic Development in Latin America Theoretical Debates Financing Dilemmas and Post-Pandemic Scenarios

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy just as with the Great Recession a decade earlier has served to reinforce the fact that the world is hierarchically organized and the distribution of power between countries is distinctly asymmetric. Gathering multiple viewpoints of Latin American researchers this book explores the impacts of the pandemic including unequal access to vaccines and recovery finance on economies in the region. The book is organised in three substantial sections: the first brings together conceptual work which rethinks the fundamental categories for critical thinking on the challenges for Latin American development in a post-pandemic scenario. In the second part the chapters focus on studying the Latin American financial reconfiguration that is being driven by the pandemic particularly through a comparison of the experience of countries of the world economy’s core and periphery. Finally the third part evaluates the concrete experiences of different Latin American countries in this very specific historical moment emphatically analyzing the economic policy responses that the governments are adopting to deal with the current sanitary emergency and its economic and social effects. From this the book suggests keystone elements for the relaunch of development strategies in the region as it recovers from the pandemic. This book will be of particular interest to readers of critical or heterodox perspectives on the economics of the pandemic Latin American development and emerging economies. | COVID-19 and Economic Development in Latin America Theoretical Debates Financing Dilemmas and Post-Pandemic Scenarios

Vagrant Alcoholics

Vagrant Alcoholics

In the 1970s the vagrant alcoholic was not a new problem and for the previous two hundred years people had asked: What can be done to help them? Why not lock them up? Why don’t they get jobs? Tim Cook had worked for many years with homeless men and in this book originally published in 1975 he describes the problems of vagrant alcoholics and the way in which one voluntary organization the Alcoholics Recovery Project based in South London responded to these problems. The response had in essence been one of experimentation beginning with the first hostel in 1966 the development of non-residential shop fronts in 1970 and the employment of a team of recovered alcoholics in 1974. The Project sought to break down the mistrust surrounding the problem on all sides and to rediscover the potential of the so-called ‘hopeless’ skid row alcoholic. Tim Cook places the Project’s work in the wider context of social work and social responsibility and shows that its methods had relevance for other agencies. He also examines the persistent failure of successive governments to take any positive action to tackle the problems of vagrant alcoholics. Throughout the book the views of the alcoholics themselves are integrated with the attitudes and experiences of the Project workers. The author offers an assessment of the Project’s work and an outline of its limitations stressing that no easy answer exists to this problem. But he believed the Project had made valuable progress towards a greater understanding of the vagrant alcoholic and his milieu.
