Transdisciplinary Teaching in Inclusive Schools: Promoting Transdisciplinary Education for Learners with Special Needs (Transdisciplinary Perspectives in Educational Research #8)
by Heidi FlavianThis book offers opportunities for better understanding teachers’ unique challenges when planning teaching sessions for learners with special needs, based on the transdisciplinary approach. The work also presents some of the core learning strategies teachers may incorporate into their teaching processes in order to promote transdisciplinary learning among learners with special needs.From a theoretical perspective, this book discusses a variety of advantages and disadvantages transdisciplinary educators may encounter, and promotes educators' development of their own vision of this area. Although the concept of special needs is often over-generalized, this book relates to the most common types of special needs among learners who study in inclusive schools: learners from different cultural background, learners with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disability (ADHD), learners with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and learners with sensory or motor challenges. A special chapter is dedicatedto each of those groups in order to closely examine how teachers can teach those learners according to the transdisciplinary approach in practice, in inclusive classrooms. While each chapter presents different perspectives of learners with special needs, the book’s summary integrates them all and highlights the commonalities between the various needs.

Transforming Society: A Comprehensive Introduction to Understanding Trauma, Adversity, & Becoming a Trauma-Informed Organisation
by Little Brighouse"Transforming Society" delves into the heart of a pervasive social issue affecting us all-trauma and adversity. In a world marked by the far-reaching consequences of these experiences, spanning generations and crossing social boundaries, the imperative to address and understand trauma has never been more pressing. Within the pages of this comprehensive introduction, a nuanced exploration unfolds, illuminating the current landscape where trauma, adversity, and their aftermath reverberate through societies. While research, best practices, and educational initiatives are gaining momentum, a disconcerting lack of cohesion has emerged, resulting in isolated pockets of trauma-informed knowledge and care. These well-intentioned efforts, however, often clash, yielding a counterproductive impact that hinders progress in addressing the underlying issues. "Transforming Society" rises to the occasion as a synthesis of concepts, strength-based approaches, frameworks, and evidence-based research surrounding trauma and adversity. It stands not as a scholarly tome relegated to experts but as a guiding light for individuals at any level of familiarity with the subject. The book's core mission is to initiate every reader into the journey of becoming trauma-informed, laying the foundation for a broader societal transformation. Readers are invited to traverse a landscape rich with insights, anecdotes, and practical strategies. The book dismantles the complexities surrounding trauma, offering a clear pathway to understanding its multifaceted nature. From the conceptual frameworks shaping our perception of trauma to evidence-based practices guiding effective intervention, "Transforming Society" bridges the gap between theory and real-world application. What sets this book apart is its universal appeal. It reaches beyond academic circles and engages individuals from all walks of life. Whether one is a healthcare professional seeking to enhance patient care, an educator aiming to create trauma-informed classrooms, or an individual striving for personal growth, the book provides tools and perspectives to catalyze transformative change. The narrative unfolds with a compelling argument: the issue of trauma is not isolated but intricately woven into the fabric of our shared existence. Through this lens, "Transforming Society" demonstrates why readers should care about the profound societal implications of trauma, inviting them to recognize their stake in a collective journey towards healing and resilience. Put simply, "Transforming Society" is not just a book; it is a blueprint for societal change. Its interdisciplinary approach, practical insights, and commitment to accessibility make it a beacon for those seeking to navigate the intricate terrain of trauma and adversity. As readers embark on this enlightening journey, they discover a newfound understanding of trauma's impact, and, more importantly, the power each individual holds to contribute to a more compassionate and informed society. The transformative power of this book lies not only in its introduction of trauma's far-reaching implications, but also in its call to action, inviting you to embark on a mission of personal growth, collective healing, compassion, and societal rejuvenation.
Transgenerational Haunting in Psychoanalysis: Toxic Errands (Relational Perspectives Book Series)
by Maurice AppreyIn this book, Maurice Apprey continues his unique work on transgenerational haunting to explore how events in our ancestors' lives may be renegotiated and re-subjectivized in the present from within the therapeutic dyad. With an informed and impassioned voice that evokes the tragic psychic consequences of the unresolved, silenced tragedies and transgressions that haunt subsequent generations, Apprey illustrates how the analyst can unfold a patient's transference wishes and emancipate them from the unconscious projects, or errands, they have inherited. This can happen through a threefold process of excavating the unconscious sedimentations of ancestral history, appropriating and reactivating the ancestral errands within the transference, and subsequently decoding the patient's transference pressures. Expanding on Apprey's work about the analyst's field of inquiry and ways of listening in clinical practice, this book illuminates the potential for a resolution, rather than a re-enactment, of the traumas that can haunt a family system across generations. Attending to the manifestation of transgenerational trauma through varied clinical material, and informed by the thinking of Sigmund Freud, among others, this book will be essential reading for all psychoanalysts and psychotherapists.

The Transition to Parenthood after IVF: An Introduction for Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting
by Helen Allan Ginny MounceThis book explores how experiences of IVF can affect the transition to parenthood for non-donor infertile couples. Drawing on empirical research and the broader social sciences literature, the book sets out the context of complex modern family building and discusses how infertility and IVF continue to shape parenthood and family building after successful IVF conception. It looks at how stigma, disclosure, loss, and gender affect the transition to parenthood, as well as what happens when parents start thinking about trying for siblings. We highlight the key roles for health care professionals (nurses, midwives, and health visitors) when caring for these new parents, in providing social support and facilitating good communication to foster emotional well-being. Ideal for nurses and midwives working in reproductive health as well as primary care nurses and health visitors, this applied text is a key reference for all healthcare professionals who meet people at any point on their journey to achieving pregnancy through IVF, during maternity care, and through the first few years of parenthood.

Transitional Objects in Early Childhood: The Value of Transitional Objects in the Early Years
by Amanda NormanIn this innovative book, Amanda Norman looks at D. W. Winnicott’s theory of Transitional Objects in early years practice, the ‘good-enough’ parent, and the relationship between the young child and primary carer in relation to the value of Transitional Objects.Norman looks at how an understanding of psychological theories can be useful when caring for young children in both educational and research contexts, aiding those interested in understanding therapeutic relationships, and applying the principles to promote the use of Transitional Objects in their work. Throughout the book, Norman uses case studies from parents, children, and practitioner’s perspectives in supporting physical and emotional development. Through these, she shows how observing Transitional Objects is particularly relevant to living in the west, where a low touch, high technology culture prevails, compounded by the recent pandemic. This volume contributes to a timely connection between the understanding and application of therapeutic approaches within early educational contexts. Including engaging exercises at the end of each chapter, this book is a perfect companion for those approaching the concept of Transitional Objects for the first time.Transitional Objects in Early Childhood is vital reading for those with an interest in the psychology of the infant/young child and their relationship and realities with the external world. It will be of particular interest to those specialising in infant and child care who wish to develop their knowledge of emotional development through play, as well as those working in a variety of social, education, and health contexts.

Transitions in Jungian Analysis: Essays on Illness, Death and Violence
by Pamela J. PowerThis deeply personal book contains essays and articles that portray the evolution of the author as a practicing Jungian analyst. Themes of illness, death, and violence are inherent within the chapters of this book. She uses metaphors from music to describe transitions, some involve literal death, and others are metaphorical. The chapters of this book provide an engaging and readable review of life from one Jungian psychoanalyst, featuring essays on topics such as physical illness, film, music, video games, and her dog. The author covers problematic psychological and physical conditions, each of which, through exploration and inquiry, provides a transition to a new depth of understanding and a renewed sense of self. The book begins with the death of Power’s Jungian analyst and the subsequent experiences when she began a "new analysis." She describes a "mysterious illness" that took her from being a classical musician to becoming a Jungian analyst. Other chapters include one on the nature of violence, another on the clinical issue of the "negative coniunctio" in the consulting room, and another on body symptoms and illness as "vanishing mediators" that take her from one status to another. A personal and engaging read, this new collection by an experienced analyst will be of interest to Jungian analysts, clinicians in both analytical psychology and psychoanalysis, and those undertaking psychoanalytic training.

Translation and Interpreting as Social Interaction: Affect, Behavior and Cognition (Bloomsbury Advances in Translation)
by Claire Y. Shih and Caiwen WangAdopting the tripartite theory of social psychology as its theoretical framework, this book advocates that the three components of social interaction – affect, behaviour, and cognition – underpin the daily activities of translators and interpreters. In particular, it argues that the affect or emotion of translators and interpreters should not be overlooked or treated as a separate entity, but as a crucial link between their mental process (cognition) and physical process (behaviour). This central theme of the intertwining nature of the affect, behaviour and cognition of translators and interpreters is examined theoretically, empirically, and methodologically with contributions from around the world, featuring literary translation, translator training, and interpreters' practice. It is a timely contribution to the field of Translation Process Research where affect is increasingly recognised as playing a key role in translation and interpreting phenomena.
Transparency and Reflection: A Study of Self-Knowledge and the Nature of Mind
by Matthew BoyleThe topic of self-knowledge has been central to philosophy since antiquity--but if self-knowledge deserves to be not just a goal that each of us should privately pursue, but a topic that philosophers should investigate in general terms, on what basis does it claim our attention? Much contemporary work in philosophy and cognitive science treats human cognition and perception as processes of representation manipulation, unaffected by our capacity for self-awareness. In Transparency and Reflection Matthew Boyle challenges this paradigm by urging a reconsideration of the classical idea that the capacity for reflective self-knowledge is an essential feature of human mindedness. Boyle argues that our ability for reflective self-knowledge is a byproduct of the "first person perspective" on our own lives that all human beings possess, as rational animals, and he seeks to defend this perspective against influential forms of skepticism about its soundness. Once we appreciate the connection between having a first person perspective on our own minds and having the capacity for self-knowledge, Boyle suggests, we can see a link between debates about how we know our own minds and the dark but intriguing idea that Jean-Paul Sartre expressed in his remark that, for a human being, "to exist is always to assume its being" in a way that implies "an understanding of human reality by itself."
