DID JESUS EVER REALLY EXIST--AND IF SO, WHO WAS HE?
This book provides a scholarly yet accessible approach to critical psychology, specifically discussing therapeutic practices that are possible outside of the mainstream psychology industry. While there are many books that deconstruct or dismantle clinical psychology, few provide a compendium of potential alternatives to mainstream practice. Focusing on five main themes in reference to this objective: suffering, decolonization, dialogue, feminism and the arts, these pages explore types of personal inquiry, cultural knowledge or community action that might help explain and heal psychological pain beyond the confines of the therapy room. Chapters focus on the role of cultural knowledge, including spiritual traditions, relational being, art, poetry, feminism and indigenous systems in promoting healing and on community-based-initiatives, including open dialogue, justice-based collaboration and social prescribing. Beyond the Psychology Industry will be of interest to researchers, clinical psychologists, therapists, academics in mental health, and cultural psychologists.

This full-colour walking guidebook is intended to reveal the contrasts confronted by walkers on the Greek island of Rhodes - the green in May, the dry dust in September; crowded beaches versus small villages where you will hardly find any tourists; a modern shopping town and traditional character houses. The guide 'Walking on Rhodes' describes twenty day-tours, spread across the island. The length of the walks varies from 4.4 to 22 km. Some routes are more difficult walks of a couple of hours or an entire day, whilst others are easier and shorter. The nature, the quietness, the climate, all make Rhodes an excellent destination for a walking holiday. 20 circular walks with detailed route information 80 photos Introduction on Rhodes
This book is meant to be a guide book for warriors of they are willing to think 'out of the box'.
