The Misuse of Alcohol: Crucial Issues in Dependence Treatment and Prevention (Routledge Library Editions: Alcohol and Alcoholism)
In the 1980s the study of alcoholism was in a period of rapid change, this book, originally published in 1985, identifies and explores the three most controversial contemporary issues: changes at the basic explanatory level in our concept of harmful drinking; the undermining of our confidence that drinking behaviour can be effectively modified in the traditional context of ‘treatment’; and the changes in our concept of the effective prevention of harmful drinking. The authors of the book came from a variety of backgrounds, but all were members of the New Directions in the Study of Alcohol Group. They broadly reject the disease concept of alcoholism, but, as this volume shows, there is still scope for vigorous debate and this book should have something of interest for all concerned with problems of alcoholism.

Alcohol and Aggression (Routledge Library Editions: Alcohol and Alcoholism)
In the 1980s the relationship between alcohol and aggression and violence was a controversial one. Much of previous thinking had been based on anecdotal evidence. In contrast this book, originally published in 1986, is based upon recent scientific evidence from a broad range of studies from animal experimentation to clinical and social research. The initial chapters describe what aggression is, in terms of theories of animal behaviour, how alcohol influences neural and endocrine functions and behaviour and how problematic it often is to extrapolate from animal research to humans. Later chapters give critical reviews of attempts to relate alcohol intake to violence and crime. The book represents a major synthesis of work from many disciplines and will interest workers in animal behaviour, alcohol studies, psychopharmacology and social psychology.

Conflicts: A Better Way to Resolve Them (Pelican Ser.)
by Edward De BonoThink, don't fight.In today’s world we use an out of date thinking system to navigate our way through modern society, especially when it comes to conflicts and disagreements.Conflicts argues that instead of our age old system of debate we should adopt what de Bono calls a ‘design idiom’ and use lateral thinking to navigate a feud. If two parties think their argument is best, we should be introducing a third party role. De Bono explains how this concept of triangular thinking and map making is the way forward. By highlighting how the current system holds us back and offering practical alternatives De Bono paves the way for a fundamental shift in conflict resolution.

When All You've Ever Wanted Isn't Enough: The Search For a Life That Matters
by Harold Kushner'There is no Answer but there are answers . . .' Rabbi Kushner's previous bestseller, When Bad Things Happen to Good People, brought comfort to millions by helping them cope with life's shattering tragedies. In When All You've Ever Wanted Isn't Enough he applies his compassionate mind to another kind of problem, one more delicate that that of sudden tragedy, but just as dangerous - the felling that life is utterly meaningless. 'Again, I came away impressed and consoled...This book affectingly teaches what Ecclesiastes learned: happiness derives not from wealth, power, learning, indulgence even religiosity, but from living fully in the moment, becoming a good human being, risking the pain of giving yourself to what matters' Los Angeles Times. 'Sensible and helpful...At a time when most self-help manuals are topical consumer reading, it is refreshing to find one that attempts to deal with the timeless' New York Times 'A thoughtful, well-reasoned meditation and a useful spiritual manual' Washington Post 'Wise, compassionate, and sure to be in demand' New York Library Journal
天堂与轮回相比 漫画书 作者搭玛: Nyingma In The West (Nyingma In America Ser. #Vol. 1)
by Dharma就像人们所说的，一幅画胜过千言万语，我希望通过这些漫画，我能 更有力 得表达我的观点。我们对上帝和宗教的看法还停留在过去-我 们不断重复那 些古时候写的，已经过时的观点。就算一本书是一千 或者两千年之前写的， 也不能代表当时的人们有独特的见解，或者 众神曾在那时降临人间。 古时候的人并不坏-他们只不过是记下了他们认为是对的想法，他 们记录下 来对上帝的观点，很大程度上受到了他们那时候生活的影 响。那时，残暴的 国王/独裁者和强人统治，要求人民顺从和忠诚， 以此给他们恩惠，这样的 形象就成了上帝的模版。至少有基督教和 伊斯兰教这些当今主流的宗教是这 样的。 屈膝下跪，祈求仁慈，发誓对国王忠诚然后得到奖励-这是当时人民 的生 活，也是他们所记录的想法。不幸的是，即使今天的生活有很 大的不同，绝 大多数人仍然盲目地遵循这样的想法。 通过我的书，我希望改变言论，为宗教和灵性注入新鲜的想法。 如果您想要联系我，邮箱地址是HeavenVsReincarnation@Yahoo.com

Helping the Problem Drinker: New Initiatives in Community Care (Routledge Library Editions: Alcohol and Alcoholism)
by Tim StockwellOriginally published in 1987, Helping the Problem Drinker addressed the realisation that only a small proportion of problem drinkers ever contacted existing treatment agencies, and that therefore a more comprehensive community-oriented approach should be developed. This included training of primary care health workers and the development of multidisciplinary Community Alcohol Teams. At the time other community-based initiatives such as self-help groups for early problem drinkers and early intervention programmes in general practice and general hospitals, had been implemented. This book draws together what had been learned about these new developments, a number of which had now been evaluated. The book will still be of interest to all planners and professional staff concerned with alcohol problems: both specialists and non-specialists in general medicine, psychiatry, psychology and the social services.

Mind And Movement: The Practice of Coex
by Tony CrispBy using body movements and postures as doorways to our own natural healing process, we can actively release tension; find balance between the mind and the body; learn to dream creatively while awake; and tap areas of the unconscious thought unaccesible.Most physical movements and exercise are disconnected from our deepest drives, feelings and sources of healing. MIND AND MOVEMENT shows how to find a natural way healthy to healthy exercise and spiritual growth. The method of co-operating with our own internal healing and creativity has been known and used for centuries. In Japan it is called Seitai, in India Shaktipat; even the early Christian used this simple form of inner and outer hygiene.Recent research has linked this activity with the self-regulatory and dream proces within us. But, no other book has made plain to the public how to co-operate with these internal functions for one's own benefit.Tony Crisp has been writing about natural health and self help for thirty years. His special interest in the healing potential of the dream process led him to work as a therapist during the past fourteen years. It is out of this experience MIND AND MOVEMENT was written.
Shamanism, Colonialism, and the Wild Man: A Study in Terror and Healing
by Michael TaussigWorking with the image of the Indian shaman as Wild Man, Taussig reveals not the magic of the shaman but that of the politicizing fictions creating the effect of the real. "This extraordinary book . . . will encourage ever more critical and creative explorations."—Fernando Coronil, [I]American Journal of Sociology[/I] "Taussig has brought a formidable collection of data from arcane literary, journalistic, and biographical sources to bear on . . . questions of evil, torture, and politically institutionalized hatred and terror. His intent is laudable, and much of the book is brilliant, both in its discovery of how particular people perpetrated evil and others interpreted it."—Stehen G. Bunker, Social Science Quarterly
