Henri F. Ellenberger, the Swiss medical historian, is best remembered today as the author of The Discovery of the Unconscious (1970), a brilliant, encyclopedic study of psychiatric theory and therapy from primitive times to the mid-twentieth century. However, in addition to this well-known work, Ellenberger has written over thirty essays in the history of the mental sciences. This collection unites fourteen of Ellenberger's most interesting and methodologically innovative historical essays, many of which draw on new and rich bodies of primary materials. Several of the articles appear here in English translation for the first time. The essays deal with subjects such as the intellectual origin...

Wo finden sich Spuren des Zusammenlebens mit behinderten Menschen im Alten und Neuen Testament und wie sind diese zu deuten? Bernhard Joss stellt die Erträge der humanwissenschaftlichen und heilpädagogischen Forschung zu mentaler Beeinträchtigung zusammen und zeigt eindrucksvoll, dass das Leben von Menschen mit einer geistigen Behinderung unglaublich vielfältig sein kann. Ausgehend von biblischen Texten nähert sich der Autor einer theologischen Grundorientierung und macht diese fruchtbar für die systematische Seelsorge, die inklusive Religionspädagogik und eine Ethik der Achtung. Lebendige Erfahrungsbeispiele aus Familie, Freizeit und Unterricht stützen das beeindruckende Plädoyer für eine Nichtbehinderung.
How do you tailor education to the learning needs of adults? Do they learn differently from children? How does their life experience inform their learning processes?

The resulting principles of a self-directed, experiential, problem-centred approach to learning have been hugely influential and are still the basis of the learning practices we use today. Understanding these principles is the cornerstone of increasing motivation and enabling adult learners to achieve. The 10th edition of The Adult Learner has been revised to include: The two chapters on div...
