Teardown
"After living in San Francisco for fifteen years, journalist Gordon Young found himself yearning for his Rust Belt hometown: Flint, Michigan, the birthplace of General Motors and the “star” of the Michael Moore documentary Roger & Me. Hoping to rediscover and help a place that had once boasted one of the world’s highest per capita income levels but had become one of the country's most impoverished and dangerous cities, he returned to Flint with the intention of buying a house. What he found was a place of stark contrasts and dramatic stories, where an exotic dancer could afford a lavish mansion, speculators scooped up cheap houses by the dozen on eBay, and arson was often the quickest ...
Working with Communication and Swallowing Difficulties in Older Adults
This accessible resource offers valuable guidance for all student and practising speech and language therapists (SLTs)who are working with older people with communication and swallowing difficulties. Chapters provide up-to-date theory on age-related changes alongside practical strategies for clinicians to use in their daily work, from help with mental capacity decisions to supporting older people with good palliative care. Promoting a holistic approach for ageing well, this resource dispels myths that surround the ageing process while detailing the normal physiological and psychological effects of ageing on communication and swallowing, as well as diseases and conditions associated with older age, such as frailty. Illustrated throughout with clinical case studies and helpful photocopiable resources to use in practice, this book is a key part of the tool kit for any speech and language therapist working with older adults.
Healing the Body Politic
"Healing the Body Politic" examines the contested place of health and development in El Salvador over the last two decades. It recounts the dramatic story of radical health activism from its origins in liberation theology and guerrilla medicine during the third-world country's twelve-year civil war, through development of a remarkable "popular health system," administered by lay providers in a former war zone controlled by leftist rebels. The ethnography contributes to the integration of medical and political anthropology by bringing the semiotics of health and the body to bear on cultural understandings of warfare, the state, and globalization.

A Clinician's Guide to Strategic Psychotherapy
The heart of this book, presented in its middle part, is the material on the Gordian Pillars of Strategic Psychotherapy. The pillars were developed to articulate an approach to strategic psychotherapy developed over more than a dozen years of clinical practice of working with clients presenting with a wide range of complaints. 'Gordian Pillars' is a mixed metaphor. The pillars are the cognitive and behavioural patterns that support a given problem in the way a pillar supports a building. By "problems" we mean conditions like anxiety, depression, or addiction, and even such behaviours as procrastination and dichotomous thinking. The Gordian aspect refers to the mythological Gordian knot, which has come to be a metaphor for an intractable problem. This guide will show you how to untangle client issues and address them in a systematic way.
