Confucius taught us that the only person who can always be happy is the one who knows how to be happy with everything. Similarly, if we avoid passive conformism and false resignation, we discover that the password to open the doors of personal fulfilment is made up of a single syllable: YES. YES. To life, just as it is. To ourselves, just as we are. To others, just as they are. To our parents, just as they are and as they were, as the providential vehicles of our existence and much more. This is the message that Joan Garriga Bacardí unveils in this book—poetic, though-provoking, and conducive to change—about a basic issue that concerns us all: the process of assuming our origins, our fa...
It is easy to observe that human beings are not lonely creatures. We are constantly anxious to find our soul mates. That special person who completes us and adds meaning to our whole existence. However, the love path is usually very bumpy. This is the field explored by the psychotherapist Joan Garriga, after having worked for ten years with couples, helping them build up healthier and consistent relationships. Through this book, the reader will find out that no one is able to make us happy, or unhappy, because happiness is a state of mind that depends solely on everyone’s degree of harmony with their surroundings. You are invited to learn which are the pillars of love, the power of sexuality, how important real balance between a couple is and find out why balance between giving and receiving is so essential for a thorough relationship.

Family constellations work has broadened and developed in many different fields as a method of counseling and therapy. In addition to constellations in organizations and schools, applying this approach to working with illness and disease has expanded the potential for healing effects in the field of medicine as well. A view of transgenerational entanglements and family dynamics casts a new light on health and disease, and the insights gained from constellations with illness and health problems have led to a more holistic view of those who are ill. In Even if it Costs me my Life, Stephan Hausner aims to provide a picture of the healing potential of systemic constellations, entering into the reciprocal effects of family dynamics and illness. Extensive use of case studies demonstrates this technique in action, revealing how existing illnesses and pathologies are rooted within the family dynamic, and setting up healing postures to facilitate growth, development, and direction.
In this, the only full-length study of the visual poetry of the early twentieth century, Willard Bohn expertly illuminates the works of Apollinaire, Josep-Maria Junow, Guillermo de Torre, and others. His fascinating aesthetic insights bring to life this elusive and often misunderstood genre. "An important contribution. Highly sophisticated, the study tends to raise its reader's impression of visual poetry in the twentieth century from trivial pastime to serious preoccupation."—Eric Sellin, Journal of Modern Literature "With his definitive analyses full of quotable observations and sharp critical insights, Bohn has provided a model, pioneering study, one from which current and future studies of visual poetry will most certainly benefit."—Gerald J. Janacek, Romance Quarterly "Bohn substantiates his thesis with thoughtful and often ingenious explications of texts both well known and hard to find. . . . Aesthetics of Visual Poetry is a thoroughly researched, beautifully written and fascinating introduction to an infinitely intriguing genre."—Mechthild Cranston, French Review

The political poster explosion of July 1936 has been highly acclaimed by critics and scholars worldwide. One of the best-known posters of the time, "Freedom!" – which has acquired near cult status – shows a peasant holding a sickle aloft, set against the anarchist red-and-black flag. The artist, Carles Fontserè, was just twenty years old when he joined the revolution along with fellow artists and comrades-in-arms, Josep Alumà, Helios Gómez, Antoni Clavé and many others who appear in this account. In his outstanding memoirs, which are more artistic, political and collective than intimate, Fontserè recounts his upbringing in a petit bourgeois family with Carlist leanings along with hi...
