Neuware -This book calls for a fundamental re-examination of how education, health, and care systems respond to autistic children and young people. Rather than focusing on how to manage behaviour or address perceived deficits, it shows how the practical application of acceptance can be a transformative way to support autistic children more effectively.The act of acceptance is presented not as a passive attitude, but as something you actively do. Something that reshapes environments, relationships, and expectations. When acceptance is applied deliberately and consistently, it reduces anxiety, builds psychological safety, and creates the conditions in which autistic children can engage, communicate, and learn without coercion.Drawing from real-world practice and lived experience, this book offers a clear, unified framework for acceptance-based support that can be quickly applied in your work. This solution-focused guide includes detailed case studies, reflective insights, and clear strategies to help you move from theory to practice. It demonstrates how acceptance can be a purposeful, structured, and effective tool in mental health, education, at-home, and community settings. Yorke considers what happens when acceptance moves from an idea to an active practice, transforming environments, restoring psychological safety, and enabling autistic children to belong without feeling compelled to change themselves, revealing the wonder and the power of acceptance.Written for educators, professionals, policymakers, service providers, and those with lived experience, this book offers a practical alternative to traditional autism support models.Taylor & Francis Verlag GmbH, Kaufingerstraße 24, 80331 München, Germany, München 268 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This book provides an epistemology of the body as it relates to subjectivity through an analysis of selected works of Antonin Artaud and Samuel Beckett. Presented in three parts, the book explores a fundamental premise: that there is a traumatic and alienating dimension to embodiment that resists expression within representational systems and is core to the being of any subject.In Part One, The Epistemology of the Body, Meehan O'Callaghan approaches a theory of the body as traumatic by framing it as a question, a gap in knowledge through the lens of psychoanalysis and theatre studies. Part Two, The Body of Drama, is devoted to a study of the body in the works of Beckett and Artaud from the perspective of psychoanalysis. Part Three, The Body Between Being and Non-Being, provides a deeper exploration of how the interrogation of the body opens onto a question of being and uses the insights gained from the dialectical encounter of psychoanalysis with the specific works of Beckett and Artaud to apply them to contemporary and scholarly issues of the body.Psychoanalysing Mind-Body Narratives through Beckett and Artaud will be essential reading for psychoanalysts in practice and in training, and for academics and scholars of Lacanian studies, psychoanalytic studies, the body, disability studies, and literary and theatre studies.Taylor & Francis Verlag GmbH, Kaufingerstraße 24, 80331 München, Germany, München 196 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -In this book, Stathis Psillos and Thodoris Dimitrakos explore the question: how is empirical, and in particular scientific, knowledge possible Most philosophers have accepted that some restrictions must be placed on empirical knowledge in order for it to be possible. Yet considerable debate has revolved around the precise nature of such restrictions, above all how knowledge can be said to be a priori.The book traces the development of the concept of the a priori in the philosophy of science, beginning with the Descartes-Newton controversy. The discussion then turns to Leibniz and Hume, Kant's conception of synthetic a priori principles, and Mill's radical empiricism, which sought to eliminate the a priori altogether. The book also examines later transformations of the debate, including the emergence of non-Euclidean geometries and their challenge to the Kantian view, Poincaré's conventionalism, the development of the relativised a priori within logical positivism, and the Quine-Carnap debate over analyticity.Building on these historical and philosophical discussions, the authors develop and defend a novel functional conception of the a priori - captured by the idea that 'the a priori is as the a priori does'-according to which a priori principles are those that play a constitutive role in scientific theorising while remaining open to revision.An engaging and wide-ranging philosophical investigation of the a priori, this book will be of great interest to students and researchers in philosophy of science, metaphysics, epistemology and the history of the philosophy of science.Taylor & Francis Verlag GmbH, Kaufingerstraße 24, 80331 München, Germany, München 236 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -Buildability in Practice: Shaping a Sustainable and Equitable Built Environment explores the often-overlooked concept of buildability in construction, how easily and efficiently a design can be built. It offers practical strategies and real-world examples to improve project outcomes, reduce waste, and promote sustainability. Readers will learn: - How rationalisation encourages critical evaluation of design choices to reduce complexity and cost. - How simplicity theory advocates for straightforward, user-friendly construction solutions. - How standardisation promotes uniformity in design elements, enhancing speed, quality, and compatibility across projects. - How system theory integrates all these elements, helping practitioners view buildability as a holistic approach that aligns design, planning, and construction processes. The authors show that a limited understanding of buildability principles, coupled with the failure to integrate them into the project procurement process, significantly contributes to the suboptimal performance observed in construction projects. They then address this issue by providing clear explanations of buildability principles, practical integration strategies in construction project delivery, and testimonies that demonstrate successful implementation.This book serves as a comprehensive educational resource for stakeholders, including clients, contractors, and consultants, promoting a shared understanding and fostering collaboration from the early stages of project planning. Buildability is a universal challenge in construction, affecting project efficiency, sustainability, and cost worldwide.
