"This is brilliant book on the theory and practice of governance and public management. The author’s long experience in academia, government and international organization shows through clearly in this theory-driven study of cases in international development." — M. Ramesh, UNESCO Chair of Social Policy Design in Asia, National University of Singapore"I highly recommend Dr. Gambhir Bhatta’s book ‘Those That Fix the Lights’: The Practice of Public Sector Management in Developing Asia to both policy makers and scholars. Gambhir elegantly argues how important institutions are for effectively delivering public goods and services. His proposals for institutional reform are persuasive, with fresh insights drawn from his rich professional experience." — KE Seetha Ram, Senior Consulting Specialist for Capacity Building and Training Projects, Asian Development Bank Institute"Drawing on his many years working and studying the region, in his new book Gambhir Bhatta examines why governance capacity in many South, Central and Southeast Asian countries remains low and what can be done about it. Illustrated with many examples from Thailand to Tajikistan and the Maldives to Myanmar, the book is brimming with good advice about how institutions and processes can be strengthened and governments and governance improved in this ever more significant area of the world." — Michael Howlett, Burnaby Mountain Professor and Canada Research Chair (Tier 1), Department of Political Science, Simon Fraser University

The Practice of Public Sector Management in Developing Asia

“Those That Fix the Lights”

"As the knowledge base about brain function has expanded, so too has our scope of practice in art therapy. For years I have seen cognitively impaired and traumatized patients seem to improve attention, integration, memory, and resilience through the art-making process; now there are clear links showing how art therapy remediates these parameters. I applaud Ms. King’s book, which demystifies neuroscience and enlightens the contribution of art therapy as an effective treatment."
Irene Rosner David, PhD, ATR-BC, LCAT, HLM, director of therapeutic arts at Bellevue Hospital Center in New York City
"This volume captures an array of trauma-related topics and clinical wisdom that demonstrate our ever-growing understanding of the interface of art therapy approaches and neuroscience. The authors thoughtfully apply their knowledge of visual art and the brain to build a bridge that links expressive work with how sensory-based, practical techniques can help heal body and mind. Art Therapy, Trauma, and Neuroscience definitely opens up a conversation about brain-based interventions for creative arts therapists and professionals in related fields interested in applying these principles in work with a variety of populations."
Cathy Malchiodi, PhD, LPCC, LPAT, ATR-BC, REAT, executive director of the Trauma-Informed Practices and Expressive Arts Therapy Institute in Louisville, Kentucky
"This timely book offers excellent examples of various applications of scientific knowledge to the practice of art therapy. A valuable contribution to the profession, this volume will enhance the readers’ understanding of art therapy and trauma and the facilitation of change inherent in art therapy treatment."
Linda M. Chapman, MA, ATR-BC, director of the Art Therapy Institute of the Redwoods, Redwood Valley, California
"Art Therapy, Trauma, and Neuroscience contains a wealth of information that can be utilized by art therapists working with clients recovering from trauma. It provides an accessible and accurate overview of current concepts in neuroscience, along with a wide variety of conceptual frameworks and models for understanding the relationship between neuroanatomical functions associated with visual expression and those involved in trauma and recovery. The included case studies provide clear examples of how each model informs individualized art therapy work."
Christianne E. Strang, PhD, ATR-BC, research instructor in the department of psychology at the University of Alabama, Birmingham

Art Therapy, Trauma, and Neuroscience

As urban areas expand into surrounding natural habitat, there are inevitably more interactions between humans and wildlife. In this third edition, Adams (emer., wildlife and fisheries sciences, Texas A&M Univ., College Station) updates a work that filled a void no comprehensive treatment of the subject had previously existed. Significant enhancements to previous editions (CH, Oct'06, 44-0909) include five new chapters, four case studies, seven appendixes/species profiles, and 90 figures. Additional research and data mining contribute a significant amount of new information to this edition. New chapters highlight special management considerations for various types of urban vertebrates. A short profile of an urban species follows each chapter. Though examples and case studies are heavily focused on the United States, the general principles can apply to urban wildlife in any area of the world. Designed to serve as a textbook, this volume synthesizes current information and is the standard text on this subject. It can also serve as a general resource for those interested in this topic. More than 1,000 references fill 41 pages. A similar book, Urban Wildlife Conservation (CH, Jul'15, 52-5883) complements this title, but Adams's work serves as a better introduction to the subject.--C. E.

Scott Mendelson, MD, PhD, has written a landmark volume in the Clinical Pharmacognosy series on Botanical Medicines for CRC Press. Why is this a landmark book? It thoughtfully reviews theories of the mechanisms of activity for antidepressants, including ketamine, and lays out the evidence for herbal activity through those mechanisms.. . . .I highly recommend this book for psychiatrists and other health professionals treating depression. Furthermore, phytopharmaceutical researchers interested in developing new treatments will find valuable ideas to pursueRichard P.Brown, Review ofHerbal Treatment of Major Depression: Scientific Basis and Practical Use,Psychiatric Times,20th January 2020Full Review: www.psychiatrictimes.com/film-and-book-reviews/herbal-treatment-major-depression-scientific-basis-and-practical-use

Barbie: Eine Weihnachtsgeschichte

Much Ado has always been popular on the stage. This edition pays especial attention to the history and range of theatrical interpretation, in which the most famous actors, from the time of Garrick to the present, have appeared as the sparring lovers Benedick and Beatrice. A full commentary includes annotation of the many sexual jokes in the play that have been obscured by the complexity of Elizabethan language. For this updated edition Angela Stock has added a new section to the Introduction in which she reviews the romantic and the darker, more cynical aspects of the play in the light of late twentieth-century stage, film and critical interpretations. She also tackles the interesting question of Beatrice's proper age and the critical fortunes of Hero and Claudio in terms of the play's interest in sexuality and misogyny, eavesdropping and deception.

"In her new book, Jan Abram continues the impressive endeavour to explore, discuss and develop the work of D. W. Winnicott. This time her personal voice is stronger. By offering the reader an Ariadne thread, through her clinical innovation of the intrapsychic surviving and non surviving objects, she takes the reader on a journey through the complexity of Winnicott’s work, and her own reflections of its clinical and theoretical implications. She includes an abundance of examples from her clinical work, and a continuous dialogue with other psychoanalytic writers.　This makes Abram’s contribution not only helpful to the understanding of Winnicott, but also to several　of the most important discussions in contemporary psychoanalysis." - Sølvi Kristiansen, Training and Supervising Analyst;　Past President, The Norwegian Psychoanalytic Society

"Jan Abram has made this marvellous achievement showing that DW Winnicott's two-person psychology is three-dimensional, following her inspiring meeting with André Green. To illustrate her psychoanalytic journey, she makes heuristic use of Japanese Ukiyo-e so that readers may enjoy viewing the transient and transitional object together while learning from the author, and in the end, shall realize the object has survived intrapsychically." - Osamu Kitayama, Training and Supervising Analyst & Past President Japan Psychoanalytic Society

"In The Surviving Object, Jan Abram, the foremost Winnicott scholar writing today, discusses the way Winnicott reinvents the meanings of words as he goes, and uses the unique language he creates to convey understandings that analytic writing has never previously held. In this new work, she presents her own clinical work, which is strongly rooted in Winnicott’s thinking, but is uniquely her own. She speaks with her patients in a way that is sometimes calming, sometimes confrontational, sometimes stunningly insightful, but always profoundly personal and humane. This is an extraordinary book that must not be missed." - Thomas Ogden, author most recently of Reclaiming Unlived Life and Creative Readings: Essays on Seminal Analytic Works.
"The　Surviving　Object　is a significant milestone in understanding the richness of Winnicott’s contributions to psychoanalysis. Jan Abram, a leading exponent of Winnicott’s work, traces the evolution of his central concepts, with the detailed grasp of them for which she is known. She also traces how her own understanding of them has developed over time and found expression in her clinical work. Winnicott’s ideas are carried forward in the process, and their links to French psychoanalysis in particular are valuably explored.　This book is both an extremely useful survey of Winnicott’s thought and a creative elaboration of it." - Michael Parsons, author of Living Psychoanalysis: From Theory to Experience
