Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Rituals provide public solutions to some types of life crises. There are crises which beset individuals in modern and post-modern society which are not easily addressed by traditional rituals. However, rites have not disappeared in contemporary society, but have merely changed their guise. New Rituals - Old Societies examines rituals which were invented by individuals and communities in order to celebrate important turning points. In contemporary Israel a process of innovation of new rituals was introduced, either by the adoption of ritual elements from outside sources or by the transformation of existing Jewish symbols through the infusion of new contents originating in secular ideology. The term 'personal definitional rites' coined here refers to rites carried out by individuals undergoing a change in identity. Structural analysis supplies an additional dimension to this collection of studies.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Ämnet kön och våld är ständigt aktuellt. I Mord misshandel och sexuella övergrepp tar historiker, etnologer, folklorister och jurister ett lite annorlunda grepp och diskuterar problematiken utifrån ett historiskt perspektiv. Tidsramen sträcker sig från ett tidigmodernt samhälle ända fram till våra dagar. Vi får bland annat läsa om brottsliga kvinnor i fängelse, slagsmål och mord på fästmör i Norge under 1800-talet. Vi får även stifta bekantskap med dagens lagstiftning kring våldtäkt och kvinnliga prästers syn på själavård och sexuella trakasserier. Förutom det historiska perspektivet presenteras även ett kulturellt sätt att se på kön och våld. Boken inleds med en översikt över vetenskapliga vinklar på kön och våld från sociobiologi till genus- och mansforskning. 240 pp. Schwedisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Positive psychology - essentially the scientific study of the strengths that enable individuals and communities to thrive - is a relatively new discipline that has experienced substantial growth in the last 5-10 years. Research suggests that the principles and theories from this area of study are highly relevant to the practice of counseling and psychotherapy, and positive psychology presents clinicians and patients with a much needed balance to the more traditional focus on pathology and the disease model of mental health. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the best-researched positive psychological interventions. It emphasizes clinical application, providing a detailed view of how the research can be applied to patients. Covering the broaden-and-build theory, strengths-based therapy, mentoring modalities and more, the volume will provide numerous assessment tools, exercises and worksheets for use throughout the counseling and psychotherapy process.
