Narrative Medicine in Hospice Care
Narrative medicine, an interdisciplinary field that brings together the studies of literature and medicine, offers both a way of understanding patient identity and a method for developing a clinician’s responsiveness to patients. While recognizing the value of narrative medicine in clinical encounters, including the ethical aspects of patient discourse, Tara Flanagan examines the limits of narrative practices for patients with cognitive and verbal deficits. In Narrative Medicine in Hospice Care: Identity, Practice, and Ethics through the Lens of Paul Ricoeur, Flanagan contends that the models of selfhood and care found in the work of Ricoeur can offer a framework for clinicians and caregivers regardless of the verbal and cognitive capabilities of a patient at the end of life. In particular, Ricoeur’s concept of patient identity connects with the narrative method of life review in hospice and offers an opportunity to address the religious and spiritual dimensions of the patient experience.
Consistent Democracy
"Consistent Democracy offers an intellectual history of the arguments, advocacy, and commentary about the so-called woman question and American popular government from the 1830s through the 1890s. What did it mean, a range of observers asked, that the world's first mass democracy only enfranchised white men? The inconsistency of women's "political non-existence" provoked a movement for change, led by familiar figures such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Movement voices were one part of a noisy and often discordant chorus. Only by attending to this broad range of competing voices can we understand popular political thought in nineteenth-century America"--

Their sibling Catharine Beecher wrote pivotal works on women’s rights and educational reform. And then there was Isabella Beecher Hooker— “a curiously modern nineteenth-century figure.” Tempest-Tossed is the first full biography of the passionate, fascinating younge...
판다 정신
선풍적인 푸바오의 인기. 사람들은 왜 푸바오를 좋아하는가. 푸바오로 대표되는 판다에 대해 얼마나 알고 있을까. 이 책은 판다의 매력이 어디에 있는지 과학적 논리와 더불어 충분히 가능한 추론으로 밝혀낸다. 2억 년 전 대멸종 이후 새로운 포유류가 등장한 이래, 판다는 험난한 지구 환경의 변화 속에서 진화를 거듭하며 살아남았다. 육식의 위장에도 ‘초식’을 선택하고, 먹이 경쟁을 위해 ‘선글라스와 검은 조끼 같은 까만 무늬’로 서로를 구분하고, 그러다 보니 ‘둥글둥글한 얼굴과 순한 성격’을 갖게 되었다. 이러한 ...
Religiosität bzw. Spiritualität in Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie
Religiosität bzw. Spiritualität in Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie ist ein intensiv diskutiertes Thema. Um die aktuelle Diskussion mit empirisch fundierten Argumenten zu bereichern, wurde eine bundesweite Personalstudie durchgeführt. Die Studie zeigt auf, welche Bedeutung die eigene Spiritualität des psychiatrischen Personals für es selbst, für Patient/in und für ein Integration von Religiosität bzw. Spiritualität in die Therapie hat. Im Rahmen eines Forschungsprojekts der Freiburger Caritaswissenschaft bietet der Band theoretische Hintergründe, Befunde bisheriger empirischer Forschung, Ergebnisse der Personalstudie und ihre Diskussion.
