Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Annette Schaub This book is to honor Michael J. Goldstein Ph. D. , Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry at the University of California, who passed away in 1997. Mike was known for his caring, humanistic, and hope-inspiring approach to helping patients and their relatives cope with severe psychiatric illnesses, and for the support, warmth, and open-mindedness he showed in his relationships with col leagues and visitors from all over the world. Mike's humor, his optimism that social science could be used to better the human condition, and his conviction that patients, relatives, and clinicians could work collaboratively to manage psychiatric illness and improve the lives of all involved, were an inspiration to everyone he touched. Furthermore, because of the nature of Mike's work, his research has had a tremendous influence on many who never knew him, and the clinical innovations he helped develop have improved the lives of countless patients and families, and will no doubt continue to help many in the future. While Mike's work lives on, we and many others will miss his friendship and uplifting spirit he engendered in all of us. On April 28, 1997, the faculty center at the University of California, Los Angeles organized a program in memory of Mike. After this meeting it was suggested that a symposium be dedicated to Mike at the next World conference. He had initiated, organized and supported many studies in clinical psychology and psychiatry, so it seemed fitting that one should be organized in his memory.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 292 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The sculptor, Jürgen Weber, whose work is to be found in many parts of the world from Washington D.C. to Nuremberg presents his experience of how forms convey contents. He does not ask the usual questions about perception, but rather he is concerned with how the visual world expresses information over and above its mere existence.Is it experience that allows us to differentiate between a dangerous face and one that inspires trust Is that the reason why we see that buds will soon open, that leaves will unfurl, that trees have had to grow in all weathers or do we have at our disposal categories which we use to pass judgement The way that our visual environment conveys its information to us is one of the most important questions for our survival. Up till now it has rarely been investigated in a systematic and scientific way. Weber assumes that the visual areas of our brains have geometrical categories at their disposal with which they compare the visual phenomena of our environment. Conclusions are then drawn from the differences to them. This is the basis upon which he also explains our visual memories.He brings together various disciplines ranging from psychiatry, children s drawings, comparable archaeological finds and works of art, to the observation of nature, his own experiments as an artist and surveys of thousands of his students and has thus developed a new theory of perception which also considerably extends our knowledge about threedimensional sight. There is no doubt that this book represents a unique, timely contribution to the many disciplines that are concerned with the wonder of perception. It might even influence the development of computer science. 204 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book is dedicated to the memory of Michael J. Goldstein, one of the pioneers in psychosocial interventions in psychiatry. The structure of this book follows Goldstein's footsteps in this domain and is subdivided into family factors as well as intervention strategies for severe mental illness. Recent research on high expressed emotion (HEE) in schizophrenia (e.g., early psychosis) and borderline disorder, patients' perspectives of HEE as well as other variables predictive for relapse in recentonset schizophrenia are covered in this book. Family treatment strategies in schizophreni a, depression, bipolar disorder, substance use disorders and illness management programs as well as pharmacological treatment strategies are illustrated and current studies presented. The book brings together basic research and therapeutic applications stimulating further research on the complex interactional components that influence the course of psychiatric illness and on treatment designed to ameliorate the symptoms, stigma, and disability experienced by patients with severe mental illness. 292 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The renovation and rehabilitation of existing constructions together with the preservation and restoration of the architectural heritage are, in fact, activities which deserve particular attention by people involved in both design and constructional process.This wide subject has been treated in the book by identifying the main aspects and analysing them from the general design criteria to the execution rules in order to completely cover the concerned field.This approach is, therefore, characterised by an unitary feature which is difficult to find in other books. In particular many practical examples collected from all over the World are analysed, compared and discussed in detail, focusing the main reasons of both the structural choice and the material selection.The authors of the 6 Chapters, as out-standing experts in their specific fields, provide high level contributions particular based on their technical and professional experience. 388 pp. Englisch.
