First published in 1990, this book was the first informed study to focus on care within the voluntary sector. Written…
with the child in mind, it is a sensitive work which explores the administration, strategy, and problems facing carers in children’s homes, at that time. Centring on small, community-based facilities, the authors discuss the processes involved in setting up and running such facilities. They examine the difficulties of evaluating progressive services that are influenced by the philosophy of normalisation, and highlight the lessons from which other providers of services are able to learn. Written by experienced researchers with contributions from service managers, Normalisation in Practice offers pragmatic advice on managing innovation efficiently without neglecting the needs of the child. Detailed interviews are combined with theoretical insight to provide an important guide for students and practitioners and a model for academics undertaking evaluative research. Although written at the start of the 1990s, this book contains discussions and material that are still very relevant to the subject today.First published in 1979, this book concerns itself primarily with the mothers of mentally handicapped children. It discusses the problems…
of assistance that they may have experienced from their families, the community, or the available services. Whilst arguing for far more support for mothers when they are the main carer, this book also suggests reasons why some families are more easily able to cope with the problems of caring for severely handicapped children. This study is based on research that was conducted for and funded by the Department of Health and Social Security between 1973 and 1976.By Mohan J. Dutta, Heather Zoller. 2008

It includes an international collection of contributors, and highlights non-traditional (non-Western) perspectives on health communication.This volume provides the first detailed overview of the growing phenomenon of the international migration of skilled health workers. The…
contributors focus on who migrates, why they migrate, what the outcomes are for them and their extended families, what their experiences in the workforce are, and ultimately, the extent to which this expanding migration flow has a relationship to development issues. It therefore provides new, interdisciplinary reflections on such core issues as brain drain, gender roles, remittances and sustainable development at a time when there has never been greater interest in the migration of health workers.By Pierre A. Lehu, Ruth K. Westheimer. 2018
Ein erfülltes Sexleben - das wünscht sich wohl so ziemlich jeder. In diesem Buch erfahren die Leser endlich, was sie…
schon immer über erogene Zonen von Frauen und Männern, Verhütung, Orgasmus und Viagra wissen wollten. Sie erhalten unverblümt Antworten auf die Fragen, die sie nie zu stellen wagten. Dr. Ruth Westheimer gibt ihnen Sicherheit beim "ersten Mal", hilft Ihnen aber auch nach langen Ehejahren, wieder mehr Lust und Spaß ins Schlafzimmer (oder anderswo) einkehren zu lassen.

Este libro es un medicamento. Antes de consumirlo, lee todo el prospecto. Nunca antes habíamos sido tan ricos materialmente y…
tan pobres espiritualmente. Una prueba de ello es el creciente consumo de fármacos como el Prozac o el Tranquimazín, que se han convertido en inseparables compañeros de viaje para millones de personas. Incluso hay quien siente angustia ante la idea de no tenerlos a mano, sin darse cuenta de que, en lugar de erradicar el sufrimiento, se conforman con aliviar los síntomas. Pero también hay quien cree que medicarse no es la solución. Estos quieren comprender las causas de su malestar, trabajarlas y neutralizarlas porque ya no quieren sufrir más. A ellos se dirige El Prozac de Séneca, cuyas páginas promueven la filosofía estoica y proporcionan la dosis de sabiduría necesaria para aprender a ser felices. Clay Newman defiende que valores como la humildad, el autoconocimiento, la aceptación, la compasión y la confianza, entre otros, son inherentes a la condición humana. No obstante, es necesario conocerlos y activarlos para que sean efectivos. Pronto descubrirás que lo único que te impide ser feliz eres tú mismo.By International Foundation for Protection Officers. 2010

and ovarian cancers that they are free to choose how (and whether) to deal with their risk. Critics argue that women at genetic risk are, in fact, not free to choose but rather are forced to make particular choices. In Being at Genetic Risk, Kelly Pender argues for a change in the conversation around genetic risk that focuses less on choice and more on care.Being at Genetic Risk offers a new set of conceptual starting points for understanding what is at stake with a BRCA diagnosis and what the focus on choice obstructs from view. Through a praxiographic reading of the medical practices associated with BRCA risk, Pender’s analysis shows that genetic risk is not just something BRCA+ women know, but also something that they do. It is through this doing that genetic cancer risk becomes a reality in their lives, one that we can explain but not one that we can explain away.Well researched and thoughtfully argued, Being at Genetic Risk will be welcomed by scholars of rhetoric and communication, particularly those who work in the rhetoric of science, technology, and medicine, as well as scholars in allied fields who study the social, ethical, and political implications of genetic medicine. Pender’s insight will also be of interest to organizations that advocate for those at genetic risk of breast and ovarian cancers.By Theresa Cheung. 2013

of Maybe You Should Talk to SomeoneThroughout history, people have sought the heights of human potential—to become as wise and strong, happy and loving, as any person can ever be. And now recent science is revealing how these remarkable ways of being are based on equally remarkable changes in our own nervous system, making them more attainable than ever before. In Neurodharma, the follow-up to his classic Buddha&’s Brain, New York Times bestselling author Rick Hanson, PhD, not only explores the new neuroscience of awakening but also offers a bold yet plausible plan for reverse-engineering peak experiences, sense of oneness, and even enlightenment itself. And he does so with his trademark blend of solid science and warm encouragement, guiding you along this high-reaching path with good humor, accessible tools, and personal examples. A groundbreaking yet practical book, Neurodharma shares seven practices for strengthening the neural circuitry of profound contentment and inner peace—qualities that offer essential support in everyday life while also supporting the exploration of the most radical reaches of human consciousness. Step by step, this book explains how to apply these insights in order to cultivate unshakable presence of mind, a courageous heart, and serenity in a changing world. The breakthroughs of the great teachers are not reserved for the chosen few. Dr. Hanson shows how we can embody them ourselves in daily life to handle stress, heal old pain, feel at ease with others, and rest in the sense of our natural goodness. The Buddha didn&’t use an MRI to become enlightened. Still, 2,500 years after he walked the dusty roads of northern India, neuroscientists are discovering the mechanisms of the brain that underpin the Buddha&’s penetrating analysis of the mind. With deep research, stories, guided meditations, examples, and applications, Dr. Hanson offers a fascinating, inspiring vision of who we can be—and an effective path for fulfilling this wonderful possibility.By Judith Corvin-Blackburn. 2000
A guide to navigating the transition from 3D to 5D and reclaiming the ancient powers of love, creativity, and unity…
consciousness lying dormant in our DNA • Details what is happening psychologically, emotionally, and socially with the dimensional shift and provides a vision of life on 5D Earth • Offers transformative activations and tools to meet the psycho-spiritual demands of this transition, including identifying and integrating the shadow self, healing emotional wounds, and discovering higher frequencies • Explains how to navigate the Ascension process, especially in terms of handling emotions, resistances, and fears, and how to welcome these new frequencies We are in a time of great transition. Higher frequency light is flooding our planet, awakening large numbers to reclaim our original nature as fifth-dimensional humans. As 5D humans, we live from our heart&’s wisdom, from Unity Consciousness, unconditional love, and unbridled creativity. 5D humans have highly developed inner senses of empathy, telepathy, clairvoyance, and clairsentience--qualities that are opening for many as we go through this dimensional shift. While this journey is exciting, its demands can be overwhelming. In this hands-on guide to activating the 5D potential lying dormant in our DNA, Judith Corvin-Blackburn shows us how to navigate the Ascension process, including how to handle emotions, resistances, and fears and welcome our 5D frequencies. Using the 9-dimensional-axis theory first explored by Barbara Hand Clow, the author details what is happening psychologically, emotionally, and socially with the dimensional shift, including revealing the denser, pain-inducing frequency of being a 3D human and the challenges of the 4th dimension. She offers transformative activations and tools to explore and master the psycho-spiritual demands of this transition, including identifying and integrating the shadow self, healing emotional wounds that hold us back, and discovering higher frequencies and the cellular vibration of unconditional love and Oneness. Once we reclaim ourselves as loving, conscious, creator beings and realize we are part of a global 5D team, together we can consciously help co-create a New Earth by anchoring the 5D frequency in both our inner and outer worlds.By The Unapologetic Voice House. 2020
