&#34;The sparks of humor fly as Japanese medieval narrative and Judeo-Christian culture collide in modern-day domestic disputes. Ito may have written this book in prose, but we never forget that she's a poet. There is a special music even in the complaints, scolding, arguments, phone conversations, and gossipy moments. As the narrative unfolds, It&#333; draws not only upon voices of her family members and others around her, she gathers in countless voices, including those of the dead. And how wonderful to find the rhythm of the Japanese reproduced so marvelously in this translation!&#34;--Yoko Tawada, author of The Emissary&#10;&#34;Ito's work, which has long drawn us in, reaches a crescendo here, working off a base in fractured daily life: minefields of love and hate, frailty and death, identities and languages heard and unheard, a clash of cultures and religions in the context of the day by day. And all of this she sets against deep images of Japanese lore and literature, ancient and immediately modern, prose transformed into poetry: a contemporary master at the height of her many long-honed powers.&#34;--Jerome Rothenberg, editor of the poetry anthology Technicians of the Sacred&#10;&#34;When she was young, Hiromi Ito wrote about sex, menstruation, and childbirth. Later she wrote about child-rearing, affairs, and menopause. In The Thorn Puller she has written about parental caregiving and aging. Poets are amazing--their experiences become art, and what's more, Ito has created a completely original literary style, which no one could imitate even if they tried. The Thorn Puller is a great achievement.&#34;--Chizuko Ueno, author of The Modern Family in Japan

The Thorn Puller

"Dem Verfasser ist es sehr gut gelungen, die Vielfalt des betrieblichen Organisationsgeschehens fundiert und realitätsgerecht abzubilden und das kritische Verständnis für wirtschaftliche, vor allem aber auch für interdisziplinäre Zusammenhänge zu erweitern. Geradezu vorbildlich ist nach wie vor die didaktisch-methodische Konzeption ausgefallen, welche einen nachhaltigen Lernerfolg garantiert bzw. eine schnelle Orientierung erleichtert: eine gut verständliche Sprache; Veranschaulichung der Zusammenhänge anhand einer durchgehenden fiktiven Fallstudie sowie durch zahlreiche Praxisbeispiele; kapitelweise Lernziele, Wiederholungsfragen und Lösungshinweise sowie eine Vielzahl von einprägsamen Abbildungen; zweifarbiges Layout, Marginalien und Hervorhebungen im Text. Den vom Autor im Vorwort zur ersten Auflage angesprochenen Adressaten kann dieses Lehr- und Managementbuch zur Organisation bestens empfohlen werden, d. h. vor allem den Studierenden an Hochschulen und sonstigen Fortbildungseinrichtungen als vorlesungs- bzw. seminarbegleitende sowie klausurvorbereitende Lektüre sowie den Praktikern als unentbehrlicher Ratgeber und Nachlagewerk."Bernd W.

This scholarly work on Leibniz demonstrates Rateau's erudition and thorough mastery of Leibniz's published oeuvre and relevant secondary literature (collected in a useful bibliography and in chapter endnotes). The book is extremely readable, so it has much to offer nonspecialists interested in the problem of evil. Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.

Leibniz on the Problem of Evil

"A major contribution to the expanding, challenging field of personality disorders. The second edition includes an up-to-date review of significant empirical research and in-depth analysis of controversies regarding etiology and classification, and it critically--yet fairly and objectively--spells out varying theoretical positions and therapeutic approaches. The authors clearly delineate ways we might advance toward an integrated concept of personality and personality disorders, as well as integration of available therapeutic approaches. This volume is a &#39;must&#39; for all clinicians dealing with the diagnostic and psychotherapeutic challenges of patients with personality disorders, and an essential reference for researchers."--Otto F. Kernberg, MD, Department of Psychiatry, Weill Cornell Medical College; Director, Personality Disorders Institute, New York Presbyterian Hospital "This handbook beautifully demonstrates that a single volume can integrate the needs of clinicians and researchers. The second edition presents the latest scientific research of relevance to the personality disorder community, and documents its crucial translation to clinical practice. The dissemination of the knowledge in this volume ultimately will be of tremendous benefit to persons in recovery and their family members."--Perry D. Hoffman, PhD, President, National Education Alliance for Borderline Personality Disorder Livesley has done it again! He and Larstone have assembled a master class of contributors for this second edition--almost all you need to know about personality disorders can be found in the pages of this handbook. Building on the acclaimed first edition, this is a mine of information that no serious student of the subject can afford to ignore."--Peter Tyrer, MD, Emeritus Professor of Community Psychiatry, Imperial College, London, United Kingdom "Elucidating the major models of understanding, diagnosing, and treating personality disorders, this handbook opens up dialogue by offering an integrative but critical perspective that takes us beyond current controversies. The volume presents a number of conceptual models--including cognitive-behavioral, attachment, psychodynamic, neurobiological, and sociocultural perspectives--and describes cutting-edge research and clinical advances. It also explores the origins of prevailing conceptualizations of the self, identity, and personality. The result is a comprehensive work that will be of use to clinicians, students, and researchers at all levels in psychology and psychiatry. I could see building a course around this book to introduce the range of perspectives in personality disorder research and treatment."--Diana Diamond, PhD, Clinical Psychology Doctoral Program (Emerita), City University of New York; Senior Fellow, Personality Disorders Institute, Weill Cornell Medical College-A valuable resource for truly understanding the depths of personality disorders and the recent developments in our understanding of them, along with interventions. The extensive updates make this a worthwhile addition. *****!--Doody's Review Service, 11/16/2018

"Beautifully written, this book imparts a deep understanding of language&#39;s relationship to psychopathology and its effective use in psychotherapy. The theoretical presentation is exceptionally rich and the many examples of clinical application are particularly informative. Chapters address the fundamental tasks of therapy, from conducting functional assessments to building the client&#39;s sense of self, fostering meaning and motivation, and enriching the therapeutic relationship. A &#39;must read&#39; for psychotherapists and students."--Michelle G. Craske, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of California, Los Angeles "A fascinating, very accessible account of RFT and its application to psychotherapy practice. The book offers a gorgeous balance of conceptual thinking and practical applications. It is a mind-expanding resource for psychotherapists of all orientations and levels of experience."--Jacqueline B. Persons, PhD, Director, Oakland Cognitive Behavior Therapy Center "Inspiring. Important. This book challenges every psychotherapist to pause and look again at the most basic tool of our trade--language--and the enterprise of meaning making. Its broad scope offers the promise of connection across models and perspectives as well as better ways to lead our clients into transforming moments in therapy."--Susan M. Johnson, EdD, School of Psychology, University of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada "In this remarkable book, Villatte, Villatte, and Hayes bring to life the ways in which language and the use of symbols structure our experience. They explore how language shapes the therapeutic relationship and process, as well as clients&#39; suffering, and how it can be a vehicle for igniting change. A cornerstone of this approach is RFT, beautifully articulated and described here. Clever, illuminating vignettes are sprinkled throughout. This book is a treasure trove of clinical wisdom with regard to the role of questioning, dialoguing, reflecting, and challenging in the therapy context. It is a gift to all psychotherapists."--Paul Gilbert, PhD, FBPsS, OBE, Centre for Compassion Research and Training, University of Derby, United Kingdom-A work of breathtaking scope and ambition….It is well written, the language used flows well, and the therapy dialogues are convincing, authentic, and warm--and resonate with my experience of therapy….At every turn I found myself immersed in the topic, trying to unpick many of the clinical interventions and training practices that I have come to know through tested experience and to rebuild them from a bottom-up understanding of why they are effective in influencing the listener….Some highlights of the book are its richness, depth, complexity, and inclusivity….Mastering the Clinical Conversation represents both a waypoint on a scientific and clinical journey and a compass heading for future progress.--PsycCRITIQUES, 9/26/2016

Language as Intervention

Mastering the Clinical Conversation

&ldquo;Children will be fascinated by this gorgeously crafted picture book, which has the familiar elements of a fairy tale but may expose some readers to a narrative and culture that might not be familiar to them.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist (starred review) &#160;&ldquo;This retelling of the beloved Bodhisattva, enlightened being, takes the elements of the original story and includes themes of sisterhood and strength. Hsu&rsquo;s illustrations are vivid and detailed, and the line work and bold patterns pull readers deeper into the story. The deep, rich tones of the palace in the beginning shift to softer, brighter pastels as Miao Shin transforms into Kuan Yin. An author&rsquo;s note at the end includes other names for Kuan Yin and informs how she is generally depicted throughout the Buddhist world.&rdquo;&mdash;School Library Journal &ldquo;Detailed illustrations lift this family-focused introduction to the bodhisattva of compassion.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews&ldquo;With intricate illustrations reminiscent of Chinese paper cuts, the origin story of a beloved Buddhist saint is reimagined for a new audience.&rdquo;&mdash;Foreword Reviews&ldquo;Kuan Yin is a book to treasure.&rdquo;&mdash;The Children&rsquo;s Book Review&#160;&ldquo;A gorgeously illustrated and inspired retelling of the Kuan Yin story from the perspective of her younger sister. This book will not only intrigue minds but also help awaken hearts, in children and in those adults fortunate enough to get to read to them.&rdquo;&mdash;Spirituality & Practice&ldquo;Maya van der Meer has created a world in a book. And it is a world I&rsquo;ve been waiting for&mdash;where the hero is a young woman who uses a different kind of power than the kind every other superhero brandishes. She&rsquo;s strong and courageous, and she does what she needs to do. But there&rsquo;s no treachery, no violence, no battles. Instead there is steadfastness, compassion, and love. The book reads like an adventure story, all wrapped up in the beautiful illustrations of Wen Hsu.&rdquo;&mdash;Elizabeth Lesser, cofounder of Omega Institute and author of Broken Open &#160; &ldquo;Maya van der Meer and Wen Hsu&rsquo;s Kuan Yin is a beautifully illustrated book that shares the Chinese legend of Princess Miao Shan, who forsakes marriage and wealth in order to fulfill her vow of compassion as the bodhisattva Kuan Yin. This intimately narrated book shares the story of the princess and her transformation into the beloved Buddhist Goddess of Compassion through the eyes of her younger sister, Princess Ling. Through Princess Miao Shan&rsquo;s refusal to marry against her father&rsquo;s wishes and her ultimate wish to save all sentient beings, readers are introduced to the virtues of love, compassion, and forgiveness. I only wish that I had this book when my children were young so they could have been introduced to Princess Miao Shan earlier in their lives!&rdquo;&mdash;Sharon A. Suh, professor of Buddhism, Seattle University&#160; &#160; &ldquo;This collaboration between Maya van der Meer and Wen Hsu is a lovely rendering of the Miao Shan legend and Kuan Yin. It effectively conveys core themes of compassion, affirmation of sentient life, and selfless giving for all ages, in particular the young and curious!&rdquo;&mdash;Mark&#160;Unno, associate professor of Buddhism, University of Oregon &#160; &ldquo;A beautifully rendered, gorgeously illustrated tale of the power of love, the strength of our human bonds, and the heart of compassion that leads us to true freedom. Kuan Yin offers us a message we all long to hear.&rdquo;&mdash;Paula Saunders, author of The Distance Home&ldquo;A stunning story, beautifully illustrated, with a timeless message for both children and adults!&rdquo;&mdash;Elizabeth Mattis Namgyel, author of The Logic of Faith &#160; &ldquo;With graceful storytelling, Maya van der Meer conveys both the courageous loyalty of sibling princesses and the seriousness of Miao Shan&rsquo;s renunciation of royal life to fulfill her compassionate aspirations to benefit all living beings. The illustrations by Wen Hsu are gorgeous; the book&rsquo;s enchantment lingers long after.&rdquo;&mdash;Chagdud Khadro, former managing editor of Padma Publishing &#160; &ldquo;I was truly moved by this beautiful story of Kuan Yin. It is exquisitely illustrated and superbly written, for children and adults alike. The message of the power of love is an important reminder for us all. One is taken on an enchanting journey, a journey that softens the heart.&rdquo;&mdash;Traleg Khandro, director of E-Vam Buddhist Institute &#160; &ldquo;Kuan Yin is a powerful story about the heart&rsquo;s ability to encompass everything. Beautifully illustrated and told, it simply and directly awakens that love deep inside of us all. This is an important book for our time.&rdquo;&mdash;Barbara Bash, author and illustrator of Desert Giant: The World of the Saguaro Cactus &#160; &ldquo;Turning the old-school princess story inside out, here we meet a brave woman who chooses love for all creatures over romantic obsession. With illustrations as glorious as the story itself, this is exactly the book we all need right now&mdash;regardless of age, gender, or religion.&rdquo;&mdash;Bethany Saltman, author of Strange Situation: A Mother&rsquo;s Journey into the Science of Attachment &#160; &ldquo;Maya van der Meer and Wen Hsu&rsquo;s Kuan Yin is a valuable contribution to the world of children&rsquo;s literature. The message of this beautifully illustrated book will resonate with all who aspire to build a world filled with loving-kindness. While it is written with young readers in mind, it can be enjoyed by thoughtful individuals of all ages!&rdquo;&mdash;Mary Ruth Coleman, PhD, senior scientist, emerita at the FPG Child Development Institute at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and research associate professor in the School of Education &#160; &ldquo;Kuan Yin is a wise and precious book. Children will be inspired by Princess Miao Shan&rsquo;s courage and comforted to know the story of how she is always with us.&rdquo;&mdash;Trish Malone, MA, LCSW-R &#160; &ldquo;This powerful story explores the themes of obedience to an unjust society and the courage to step outside the norm in order to cultivate the greater kindness that exists in all of us. The characters give voice to our deepest need for connection and the human struggle of self-discovery.&rdquo;&mdash;Nina Schmidbaur, LCSW &#160; &ldquo;Although the legend of Kuan Yin, the goddess of compassion, is a classic Buddhist story, Maya van der Meer&rsquo;s telling highlights the universal human virtues at its core that show us how ordinary people can live extraordinary lives. The transformative power of love, the altruistic wish to serve others, and the courage to trust one&rsquo;s own wisdom, even if outer circumstances discourage it, are vital and empowering messages that can inspire children to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives. These timeless lessons are the cornerstones of an education that will prepare them to meet and serve the world. Wen Hsu&rsquo;s exquisite illustrations bring the text to life in a magical dance between words and images. This book is a treasure of wisdom and beauty.&rdquo;&mdash;Odette Estefan, contemplative educational consultant &#160; &ldquo;Kuan Yin is a must-read for young children today! Every page brings delight as the tale of Miao Shan is revealed through the eyes of her younger sister, Ling. The words are woven together with compassion for every character. This book demonstrates for young readers the power of trusting one&rsquo;s spiritual path and the power of love. It&rsquo;s a beautiful read that can&rsquo;t be missed!&rdquo;&mdash;Lo DeWalt, PhD, literacy coordinator

"With this seminal work, Barkley single-handedly initiates a paradigm shift in our understanding of executive functioning (EF). Drawing on fields as diverse as neuropsychology, neurobiology, evolutionary biology, behavioral genetics, anthropology, and philosophy, he achieves a masterful synthesis, culminating in a hierarchical model of EF development through eight stages. Of particular value, the model gives rise to ecologically valid strategies for management of EF deficits and clearly enhances our understanding of ADHD and other conditions in which executive dysfunction is prominent. Highly readable, interesting, even exciting to read, this volume will undoubtedly stimulate and guide EF research and clinical applications for decades to come."--Mary V. Solanto, PhD, Department of Pediatrics, Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell "For real advances in the field of executive functioning (EF) to occur, we need, first and foremost, a clear definition of the term. Barkley has provided that clarity. He explains what executive functions are, why they are critical to our day-to-day existence, and how they affect society. He justifiably rejects psychometric assessments of executive functions, based on their lack of ecological validity, and instead proposes multilevel assessments grounded in the natural environment. As a clinician working in the real world of people with EF deficits, the fact that Barkley&#39;s theory yields logical and applicable strategies for intervention is of great significance to me."--Richard Guare, PhD, Director, Center for Learning and Attention Disorders, Portsmouth, New Hampshire"Barkley has never been one to shy away from new theories and ideas. He is perhaps one of the foremost critical thinkers of our time. Executive Functions is a tour de force of creativity and wide-ranging thinking. Barkley offers a reasoned and reasonable theory to understand the emerging field of EF and its related disorders. The chapter on clinical implications is particularly important for practitioners. This book is essential reading for researchers, clinicians, and students interested in the complexities of brain-behavior relationships and human adaptation."--Sam Goldstein, PhD, Department of Psychiatry, University of Utah School of Medicine; Clinical Director, Neurology, Learning, and Behavior Center, Salt Lake City "Barkley presents the best and most comprehensive and systematic overview of the field of EF to date. His coherent theory of EF has the potential to profoundly change the way EF is studied and assessed in clinical populations. In outlining the problems of how to conceptualize and assess EF--and providing compelling evidence for an extended phenotype model--he offers a desperately needed roadmap for future research. This volume should be on the bookshelf of every practicing clinical neuropsychologist, and is a &#39;must read&#39; for students in neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience."--Ellen Braaten, PhD, Department of Psychiatry, Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School-Barkley develops a new framework for thinking about executive functions by describing them through a biological evolutionary paradigm....He shines a new light on a new path to discovering more about executive functions. Although helping to answer many questions, he leaves much to be discovered, in effect tantalizing and prodding the reader to engage in future research endeavors that might bring us closer to understanding executive functions and what makes us human.--PsycCRITIQUES, 1/23/2013ƒƒBarkley...a widely recognized expert, provides a fresh and original look....Barkley's account is deliberately psychological and functional rather than neuroanatomical, and provides an important reconceptualization for those working in the area of EFs. Recommended. Upper-division graduates and above.--Choice Reviews, 12/1/2012ƒƒReaders will find this book fascinating if they take the time to sift through Barkley's findings along with the research data. I know I did, because I have a daughter who struggles with ADHD, and this book weaves the correlation between ADHD and executive functioning (EF) in a way that no other book (to my knowledge) has done before.--The Chronical, 1/22/2015

In a culture toxic with aggression, competition, and 'power over' images, this book seeks to heal. Whether discussing race; isolation and loneliness; or raising caring, empathic sons, the authors write with authority and heart about important and deeply relevant issues. I cannot think of a book we need more in our sad, hard times.--Mary Pipher, PhD, author of Reviving Ophelia and Letters to a Young TherapistTo encounter the transformative vision of the Stone Center in a single volume is always a special pleasure. The theoretical and clinical wisdom in this book is stunning in its power to change the reader in some fundamental way, and to move the field of psychotherapy toward a more accurate, compassionate, and multilayered understanding of what hurts and heals in human relationships.--Harriet Lerner, PhD, author of The Dance of AngerThis is the book where the Stone Center theorists ask: 'What purpose and whose interests do psychological theories serve?' Refusing complicity with a culture of domination, they explore the complexity of human connection--its cultural contexts and therapeutic challenges.  Readers will find an invitation to think about complicity and competition, especially among women, and also a guide to envisioning how connection can follow disconnection in families and at work as well as in therapy.--Carol Gilligan, PhD, author of The Birth of Pleasure-
