The Broken Voice
Robert Eaglestone explores the interweaving of complicity, responsibility, temporality, and the often problematic powers of narrative which make up some part of the legacy of the Holocaust. He examines a range of texts by significant writers, as well as work by victims and perpetrators of the Holocaust and of atrocities in Africa.
Heartwork
Heartwork is a synthesis of western psychological processes and eastern meditative techniques developed by psychotherapist and teacher Dale Goldstein from over 37 years of personal and professional work. In Heartwork: How to Get What You Really, REALLY Want, Goldstein brings Heartwork to life through compelling, illuminating teachings and personal stories. His tools for mindfully inquiring into what blocks us from having what we really want in life are ideal for those who find the standard psychological approach to personal growth too limited. Through Heartwork, readers learn to see their blocks as doorways to the spiritual, and the result is nothing short of complete personal transformation. Beautifully illustrated by award-winning graphic designer Richard Wehrman, the book is filled with inspiring poetry and quotations, as well as testimonials from those who have used Heartwork to profoundly change their lives. The hardcover is $39.95, and includes a CD with music and guided meditations.

Hearing Voices
Qualitative methods are increasingly useful as psychiatry shifts from a focus on symptom reduction to enabling people to live satisfying and meaningful lives. It becomes important to achieve a deeper understanding of the ways in which mental illness interferes with everyday life and the ways in which people can learn to manage and minimize illness in order to pursue their lives as fully as possible. Although qualitative methods in psychiatry have seen a dramatic upsurge, relatively few published studies use such methods specifically to explore the lives, socio-culturally and experientially, of those with first-episode psychosis. This book highlights qualitative research in early psychosis. T...
Researching Quality in Care Transitions
This book is concerned with the complexities of achieving quality in care transitions. The organization and accomplishment of high quality care transitions relies upon the coordination of multiple professionals, working within and across multiple care processes, settings and organizations, each with their own distinct ways of working, profile of resources, and modes of organizing. In short, care transitions might easily be regarded as complex activities that take place within complex systems, which can make accomplishing high quality care challenging. As a subject of enquiry, care transitions are approached from many research, improvement and policy perspectives: from group psychology and human factors to social and political theory; from applied process re-engineering projects to exploratory ethnographic studies; from large-scale policy innovations to local improvements initiatives. This collection will provide a unique cross-disciplinary and multi-level analysis, where each chapter presents a particular depth of insight and analysis, and together offer a holistic and detail understand of care transitions.
