Several biographies have already been written about Peter Joseph Triest. The first one was published a year after his death, and since then several brothers and sisters of the congregations he founded have portrayed Triest’s life and charism. For the process of beatification, which has entered the Roman phase, a new biography had to be compiled on the basis of thorough research of sources. It became the ‘official’ biography of Peter Joseph Triest, now being made available to the general public in several languages. God’s love was the driving force in his life and the source from which he radiated love to his neighbours, especially to those who lived on the fringes of society due to illness or poverty. It is this divine love that brought him to the periphery of existence, and others were inspired by him to go the same way of charity, even to this very day.
Many European societies are characterised by increasing forms of secularisation and religious diversity. This results in a paradigm shift with regard to religious education. For a long time, the main aim of religious education was, clearly, to educate children in their own religious tradition. Today, the aims of religious education are much broader: contributing to pupils’ general education (Allgemeinbildung) and preparing them for participation as a citizen in the future, multicultural society. As a result, the following question arises in many countries: how can ‘teaching into religion’ be transformed into or complemented by ‘learning about’ and ‘learning from (the study of) re...
Plusieurs biographies ont été consacrées à Pierre Joseph Triest. Déjà un an après sa mort, une première version vit le jour, et depuis, plusieurs frères et sœurs issus des congrégations qu’il a fondées ont mis en mots sa vie et son charisme. En vue du procès de béatification, entré dans sa phase romaine, une nouvelle biographie devait être compilée sur base d’une recherche approfondie des sources. Ceci devint alors la biographie « officielle » de Pierre Joseph Triest, maintenant rendue disponible en plusieurs langues. L’amour de Dieu était la force d’appui de la vie de Pierre Joseph Triest et la source à partir duquel rayonnait son amour envers ses semblables, en particulier envers les personnes qui, pour cause de maladie ou de pauvreté, vivaient en marge de la société. C’est cet amour divin qui le conduisit à la périphérie de l’existence, et par lui, d’autres ont été encouragés à emprunter ce même chemin de la charité, et ce jusqu’à aujourd’hui.
Over Petrus Jozef Triest werden al verschillende biografieën geschreven. Reeds een jaar na zijn dood verscheen een eerste versie, en sindsdien hebben verschillende broeders en zusters van de congregaties die hij stichtte, het leven en het charisma van Triest onder woorden gebracht. Voor het proces van de zaligverklaring dat in zijn Romeinse fase is getreden, moest op basis van grondig bronnenonderzoek een nieuwe biografie worden samengesteld. Dit werd dan de ‘officiële’ biografie van Petrus Jozef Triest, die nu in verschillende talen beschikbaar wordt gesteld aan het grote publiek. Gods liefde was de dragende kracht in het leven van Petrus Jozef Triest en de bron van waaruit hij liefde uitstraalde naar medemensen toe, heel speciaal naar mensen die door ziekte of armoede aan de rand van de maatschappij leefden. Het is deze goddelijke liefde die hem naar de periferie van het bestaan bracht en door hem werden anderen aangemoedigd dezelfde weg van de caritas te gaan en dit tot op vandaag.
Who is 'Mad'? Who is Not? And Who Decides? In this fascinating new exploration of mental illness, Professor Brendan Kelly examines 'madness' in history and how we have responded to it over the centuries. We travel from the psychiatric institutions of modern India to scientific studies of the brain in Victorian England. We discover the beginnings of formal asylum care and witness the experimental therapies of the cavernous psychiatric hospitals of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Ireland, England, Belgium, Italy, Germany and the United States. Covering lobotomy and the Nazis' Aktion T4 campaign, as well as Freud, psychoanalysis, cognitive behavioural therapy and neuroscience, In Search of Madness examines the shift in recent times from 'psychobabble' to 'neurobabble'. This is an all encompassing history of one of the most basic fears to haunt the human psyche – madness – and it concludes with a passionate manifesto for change: four proposals to make mental health services more effective, accessible and just.
