Practice-based evidence refers to research findings derived from clinical routine. As a complementary paradigm to randomized clinical trials, this evidence is collected through practice-oriented research with the goals of describing how mental health services are utilized and implemented, understanding how these services work or fail to work, and providing ways to improve practice. In contrast to traditional trials, practice-oriented research does not impose researcher-driven restrictions or prescriptions to clinical practice, which, for many practitioners, make research irrelevant to their work. By investigating psychological therapies as they are actually conducted in naturalistic settings, practice-oriented research stands as a strategy to foster a seamless integration between science and practice. In Practice-Based Evidence in the Psychological Therapies, practice-oriented researchers from different parts of the world and across a variety of clinical settings describe what led them

Our eyes were carved from our tears. We wrestled with our turbulences & became our own laments. Sara Shagufta's significance as one of Urdu's most remarkable poets is often eclipsed by controversies surrounding her life as a working-class woman searching for love and liberation within sexist poetic milieus and the repressive patriarchal laws of US-funded militarized Islamist rule in 1980s Pakistan. In this innovative translation of Shagufta's posthumous collection, Aankhein, Javeria Hasnain enters into contemporary dialogue with the poet's words, reminding us of how her uncanny metonyms and estranged metaphors unsettled conventions of respectable Urdu poetry. With startling leaps of association, and stark imagery, these moving poems delve into the sensual and erotic realm of the female body, invoking "eyes," "colours," and "dirt" to grieve the loss of a child, mourn a failed motherhood, and dismantle the patriarchal and societal forces that seek to eliminate womanhood. The spare and co

What is luck? What is the significance of luck for our ethical and political lives? Could it be the case that luck is an intoxicating illusion, which threatens to obscure the true explanations of human action, excuse wrongdoing or cowardice, provoke powerful emotions, and cloud judgment? Schillinger's original interpretation of the idea of luck in ancient Greek thought challenges both scholars of ancient Greek texts and theorists of luck in the present. While many contemporaries approach luck as something "out there" in the world that explains why some human beings flourish while others suffer or perish, Schillinger argues that luck is a psychological phenomenon: what we have in mind when we speak of "luck" are the intellectual and emotional reactions of human beings as they run up against the limits of their knowledge and power. Schillinger returns to the Greeks because they fully examined this phenomenon, revealing the roots of the idea of luck in the psyche, its (often confused) rol

A Practical Approach to Trauma: Empowering Interventions helps clinicians develop effective therapeutic skills and provides guidelines for delivering trauma-focused and empowering interventions. Taking a practitioner's perspective, Priscilla Dass-Brailsford focuses on practical application to increase clinical understanding of extreme stress and violence. The psychological and behavioral consequences of trauma are viewed as expressions of pain and efforts to cope with unacceptable environmental demands and stressors. Responses to traumatic experiences are not necessarily viewed as pathological but instead grounded in cultural systems of meaning-making. Dass-Brailsford discusses how the practitioner's responsibility is to locate and utilize the strength and resilience inherent within individuals, families, and communities impacted by trauma to empower them toward healing and recovery. The author's practical, skill-building approach is taken from her many years of working in the trauma f

From the bestselling author of the Okay Witch series comes a contemporary graphic novel about the only thing standing between the kids of Orange Grove Junior High and summer break--one party, and a whole lot of drama. Six very different kids' stories collide at an unforgettable last day pool party in this hilarious and relatable story about friendship, popularity and the messiness of growing up. When her name gets skipped at the eighth-grade graduation ceremony, Rose decides she is done being invisible. She's determined to finally stand out and make her unfulfilled middle school dreams come true at the upcoming pool party. But she's not the only one who wants to make a splash...BFFs Liv and Juhi are on the verge of a friend break-up when Juhi reveals her family is moving, and Liv uses the party as a chance to scout for a new bestie. Queen bee Maya was forced by her mom to come to unpopular Dustin's party to be "nice". And meanwhile, her not-so-social cousin Paul is just trying to avoid

Normative ethics is the study of what makes actions right or wrong, and includes such approaches as consequentialism, traditional deontology (including Kantian theory), virtue theory (including Aristotelian theory), and the ethics of care, a feminist approach. With contributions from over forty philosophers, The Oxford Handbook in Normative Ethics provides an overview of the major issues in contemporary normative ethics. The handbook begins with an introduction that provides an overview of the field and the relationships among the topics addressed in the volume. The chapters in Part I start with basic distinctions, introducing consequentialism, deontology, virtue theory, and value theory. Part II focuses on methodology in normative ethics and epistemological questions. Part III spotlights issues in responsibility and agency. Part IV is dedicated to general problems for normative theories, including particularism, collective action problems, and moral status.

Philosophy has long paid minimal attention to creativity, and even with the rise of research on imagination, the creative imagination has still largely been ignored. The aim of this Oxford Handbook is to correct this neglect. By bringing together research from various sub-disciplines, the contributors explore recent emerging topics and open up new avenues of research in the philosophy of imagination and creativity. The 37 chapters provide state of the art treatments of a variety of subjects at the intersection of imagination and creativity. The volume opens with a comprehensive editors' introduction providing an overview of issues covered in the volume. The chapters in Part I provides framing and historical context for the philosophical study of imagination and creativity, along with an overview of the empirical literature. The chapters in Part II explores imagination and creativity as they manifest in, and in turn shape, the individual. The chapters in Part III survey the role of imag

In the late 20th century, South Africa was the focal point of the one of the most contentious political struggles of the post-colonial era. Now a generation removed from the end of apartheid, the country has established a democratic political system, while at the same time grappling with the major issues of the 21st century, including globalization, economic inequality, regional conflicts, and climate change. This narrative has often been told through the lens of the colonial era, with a heavy emphasis on the political context. The Oxford Handbook of South African History tells this story by cultivating new directions in scholarship that continue to revise how we understand the South African past. Scholars and students in this field have pushed for a history of the country that is more open to new voices, and more receptive to those who have been the most affected by the rapid changes in the last few decades. Thus, rather than providing a standard chronological history, the Handbook's

Fifteen essays that offer inspiration, encouragement, and advice from accomplished writers with ADHD. A rising number of ADHD diagnoses, particularly among adults, is not only confirmed by medical studies and mainstream reporting but also borne out across social media and elsewhere among people who'd been privately coping with persistent, often inexpressible challenges. Many of the contributors to this collection can attest to how a later-in-life diagnosis radically demystified the patterns, impulses, and impasses that had affected their lives and their writing. The essays in Chaos, Creativity, Completion reflect the ways poets, novelists, memoirists, filmmakers, and others have come to understand and engage the relationship between their ADHD and their creative practices. These essays consider how writers can embrace rather than mask their neurodifference, offering multiple ways of finding writing practices that work for ADHD brains--including techniques that often look quite differ

In 1815, the Russian vessel Rurik set off on a three-year voyage through the Pacific and Arctic oceans in a quest to find the world's most elusive geographic feature, the Northwest Passage. Financed by a wealthy Russian count and commanded by a fame-seeking captain, the vessel carried four extraordinary observers of the natural world, including an Indigenous navigator from the Caroline Islands named Kadu. The Rurik failed in its mission, yet, as award-winning Pacific historian David Igler masterfully demonstrates, the crew's pursuit of "natural history" throughout the voyage and during its decades-long afterlife embodied a search for knowledge through science, artistic representation, and oral tradition. Failure to achieve a great discovery was common in the great age of scientific voyaging, but explorers, natural philosophers, and traveling artists grew adept at turning their explorations into documented achievements by claiming, publishing, and promoting a range of significant findin

With the 1987 publication of Reconstructing Womanhood: The Emergence of the Black American Woman Novelist Hazel Carby produced a groundbreaking cultural history of nineteenth-century African American women, and an unapologetic black feminist intervention. The work proved that literature was itself a key site for the development of cultural and political ideas that would come to dominate later thinking. The women whose lives and work are here documented, celebrated, and commemorated refused to be intimidated or silenced by a nation that sought to exploit their labor and reproductive power, and to deny their humanity. Reconstructing Womanhood proved an excoriating critique of the era's focus on "great men" in African American literary and cultural criticism that obscured the work of their female contemporaries. It revised the period of Jim Crow and Booker T. Washington, depicting a time of fervent cultural and political activity by such figures as Ida B. Wells, Anna Julia Cooper, Frances

Empire of Print offers a fresh account of evangelical power by uncovering how the American Tract Society (ATS) leveraged print media to spread its message across an expanding nation. One of the era's largest media corporations and a pillar of the benevolent empire, the ATS circulated some 5.3 billion printed pages between its founding in 1825 and the eve of the Civil War. It wasn't just the volume of materials that mattered--it was the sophisticated media infrastructure that evangelicals developed for their message to reach readers, coast to coast. Media infrastructure refers to the material assemblages that work below the surface of media content, including the format of publications, the avenues of their movement, and the circumstances surrounding their reading. As a non-coercive yet effective form of power, infrastructure shaped how, when, and why readers engaged with evangelical texts. While showing how the ATS became a formidable force in American society during the nineteenth cen

The first biography exploring both Francisco Franco's life and the enduring legacy of Francoism Supported by his allies, Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, Francisco Franco rose to power by defeating the Loyalists in the Spanish Civil War that lasted from 1936 to 1939. Yet while Hitler and Mussolini did not survive World War II, Franco remained Spain's strongman ruler until his death thirty years later. Perhaps more compelling than how he gained absolute power is how he retained it for so long, virtually unopposed, making him one of history's most successful dictators. In El Generalisimo, Giles Tremlett reveals how Franco's ascent and extraordinary endurance stemmed from his determination to reverse history, returning Spain to its glory days as a globe-spanning empire. Fuelled by paranoia, a rigid sense of order and tradition, and a belief in the redemptive power of warfare--all the earmarks of fascism--Franco moved rapidly through the ranks in the army and took advantage of political

It provides a thorough look at the complex history of American cinema, and showcases a variety of historiographic practices and methods. Within each of the five chronological sections, readers will find discourse on technology, reception, exemplary films and filmmakers, the culture of celebrity, and industry policy, procedure, and regulation -- on political economy, textual representation (form, style, diversity), scientific/technological innovation, and the cultural (and subcultural) resonance of movies with their time and place. The Oxford Handbook of American Film explores the delicate and imperfect balance between art and commerce, between entertainment and commercial enterprise. Approaching the history of American film from a dialectical perspective that allows for a close look at not only the importa

A compelling new portrait of one of the ancient world滻 most famous and consequential figures By any measure, Julius Caesar is one of the most significant and well-known figures in ancient Roman history. Self-identified as a "popular" politician, he advocated for effective government to better the lives of the average Roman; however, he believed this government could not be based upon the existing democracy, which he regarded as corrupt and inefficient. It could only be through his personal management and the massive organization he built to overthrow the government that he could ensure the prosperity of all Romans. Through a careful analysis of the ancient sources, including Caesar's own writings, David Potter offers us a stunning and original portrait of the general and statesman's character and methods. He shows Caesar as a highly organized manager with an extraordinary ability to adjust to circumstances while maintaining a steady equivalent of an ancient media presence that attracte
