Since 1989, initial teacher training courses in England and Wales have recognized the need for teachers to take a lead in a school subject area in their first appointment. There is no longer a place for a primary school teacher (newly qualified or not) whose sole responsibility is his or her own class. Further, a teacher must have specific specialist knowledge and expertise in particular subjects which must be disseminated to the rest of the staff. A teacher also needs to develop the skills of communication, leadership and persuasion.
Meet a concubine who is buried alive with her lord; a girl in Rio who longs to dance the samba; a writer who seeks his muse in an Italian piazza; a farmer who invites the Queen to muck out his pig pen; a pantomime dame; a highly dysfunctional family; a film star who drinks blood - we could go on. But no: see for yourselves in this entertaining collection of stories, novel extracts, poems and flash fiction from Exeter Writers' Group.

L’inconscient est-il seulement le domaine des pulsions sexuelles ? Est-il vraiment créé par le refoulement? Est-il réservé à la psychanalyse ? Sans rejeter son apport, Pierre Buser montre qu’il déborde largement ce qu’en a révélé la psychanalyse, freudienne ou jungienne. De nombreux aspects de la perception et de la mémoire, le vécu psychique des comas et des syncopes, la création scientifique, l’intentionnalité, l’empathie : nombreux sont les mécanismes psychologiques qui sont inconscients.

Il est notamment l’auteur de Cerveau de soi, cerveau de l’autre.

There are already many empirical effects illustrating the continuity of mind- body-environment: manipulating body posture influences diverse areas such as mood, hormonal responses, and perception of risk; directing attention to a particular sensory modality can affect language processing, signal detection, and memory performance; placing implicit cues in the envi...
