Buddhist Care for the Dying and Bereaved
"In collaboration with the Jodo Shu Research Institute (JSRI)."
Oncology of CNS Tumors
This book is an easy-to-use reference that provides ready guidance on the diagnosis and treatment of the full range of tumors of the central nervous system in adults and children. The new edition has been completely revised to reflect the continually evolving landscape of neuro-oncology and provide readers with a thorough update that will inform their clinical practice. Since the previous edition, molecular neuropathology has progressed considerably, leading to a new understanding of specific clinical entities with corresponding changes in treatment concepts. Moreover, tumor biology has become better integrated with clinical neuro-oncology in truly translational efforts. These advances receive detailed attention. In addition, the structure of the book has been adapted to align with the revised 2016 version of the WHO Brain Tumor Classification. Once again, the contributors have been carefully selected as leading experts in the field. Oncology of CNS Tumors is already established as a widely used reference, and this new edition will provide optimal value for highly specialized comprehensive neuro-oncology centers as well as practicing clinicians and researchers.

Discovering the Meaning of Life
Have you ever asked yourself what the purpose of your life is? Do you feel like life is meaningless because you have not encountered a convincing answer to that question? Well, you are not alone. Many philosophers have argued that a clear answer to the problem of meaning is forever lost, and that there is no rational way to secure purpose. If a solution could be discovered, it would only be a very subjective one. We may construct one for ourselves, according to this line of thinking, but an objective purpose can never be found. I wrote this book because I strongly disagree with this contention. If you are interested in this adventurous question, you will find in these pages a novel approach to the problem, and I argue that through philosophical inquiry, we indeed can uncover an objective meaning to our lives. This book is a step-by-step guide to walk you through the tough questions in the philosophy of meaning and to bring you closer to your destiny. Our purpose is relevant for all of us. And perhaps the solution touches deeper than you might have ever dared to imagine.
Notes on the Trapp Family in Austria
This study is about the real Austrian Trapp family until 1939. Using scores of contemporaneous sources, this fully referenced book for the first time presents Maria Trapp's own family: the Kutscheras, the Reiners, and her foster family, the Kramers. Moreover, the first chapter critically analyzes Maria's tales about her childhood and youth up to her wedding with Georg (von) Trapp. The second chapter covers Georg, his family, his activities in war and business, as well as the family choir started in 1934. Several misconceptions, from Georg having been a baron to his alleged anti-fascism, get corrected here, too. The third chapter overturns the central myth of the Trapp family story: there is ...
Basiswissen Palliativmedizin
Wenn die kurativen Möglichkeiten ausgeschöpft sind, bleiben dem Arzt nur noch palliative Maßnahmen und die psychosoziale Begleitung seines Patienten. Für viele Ärzte ist dies eine große Herausforderung. Um schon im Studium auf die Begleitung und Versorgung Sterbender vorzubereiten, wurde die Palliativmedizin als neues Pflichtfach in die Ärztliche Approbationsordnung aufgenommen. Das Lehrbuch geht dabei sowohl auf medizinische als auch auf ethische, rechtliche und soziale Aspekte ein. Der Leser erhält Anleitung zur Kommunikation mit Patienten und Angehörigen, zur Teamarbeit mit Kollegen aus anderen Bereichen wie z. B. Pflege, Psycho- oder Musiktherapie ebenso wie zu speziellen Themen wie Kinder- und Jugendliche am Lebensende und integrativer Palliativversorgung. In allen Bereichen kommt der Interprofessionalität eine besondere Bedeutung zu. Die Autoren geben mit Fragenkatalogen, Ausschnitten aus Patienteninterviews und Leitfäden wertvolle Anregungen und Hilfen.
Psychosoziale Interventionen
Psychosoziale Interventionen greifen tief in das persönliche und soziale Geschehen von Klienten ein und bedürfen daher einer besonderen fachlichen und kritischen Reflexion. Mit dem vorliegenden Band werden aktuelle Forschungsergebnisse aufgegriffen und die theoretischen Grundlagen psychosozialer Interventionen wie Capability, Agency, Sozialtherapie, Lebensweltorientierung vorgestellt. Konkrete Interventionsbeispiele zeigen, dass die Klientinnen und Klienten beteiligende, fachlich versierte Problemanalyse zu einer komplexen Hilfeplanung führt, die die Bedürfnisse des Einzelnen berücksichtigt.
