Group-Analytic Psychotherapy: A Meeting of Minds By Harold Behr, Liesel Hearst(auth.)
2005 | 312 Pages | ISBN: 1861564759 | PDF | 6 MB
This book offers practitioners, teachers and students of psychotherapy a detailed and comprehensive account of group analysis. It demystifies the workings of analytic groups and looks at the great stretch of issues and tasks confronting the therapist in the practice of group analytic psychotherapy. Each stage in the process is fully discussed: the assessment and preparation of patients for groups, dynamic administration, beginning and ending a group, and the introduction of new members into an established group. A chapter on psychopathology gives a picture of the main psychiatric conditions which the group therapist is likely to encounter, and offers clear guidelines on how to manage them in a group context. An exposition on the group in full flow provides an unusual insight into the processes which constitute the analytic culture, including the analysis of dreams, the art of interpreting, use of the transference and countertransference, and the place of play, humour and metaphor. Difficult and challenging scenarios, such as dropping out, scapegoating, the silent group member, and monopolisation of the group are treated in depth, as are Large Groups, homogeneous groups, groups for children and adolescents, family therapy, groups in non-clinical settings, and the supervision of group therapy. The impingement of the therapist' s own personal issues is also given attention. The authors have flanked their narrative with accounts of the historical, social and cultural origins of group analysis, and a vision of the future provided by the newer strands of thinking in the field. The text is enlivened by colourful vignettes drawn from the authors' own experiences, and by sharply focused dialogues between the two authors, designed to illustrate their contrasting and complementary perspectives. The book represents a distillation of the authors' long experience in the field of group analytic practice and training in the United Kingdom and internationally.Content: Chapter 1 The Social and Cultural Basis of Group Analysis (pages 1-11): Chapter 2 A Century of Group Therapy (pages 12-27): Chapter 3 Planning an Analytic Group (pages 28-41): Chapter 4 Dynamic Administration (pages 42-54): Chapter 5 The Assessment Interview (pages 55-65): Chapter 6 The Symptom in its Group Context (pages 66-80): Chapter 7 The Start of a New Group (pages 81-91): Chapter 8 A Newcomer to the Group (pages 92-101): Chapter 9 The Group in Action (pages 102-120): Chapter 10 Life Events in the Group (pages 121-132): Chapter 11 Bringing Therapy to an End (pages 133-143): Chapter 12 Therapeutic Pitfalls (pages 144-149): Chapter 13 Challenging Scenarios (pages 150-163): Chapter 14 The Group Analyst in Trouble (pages 164-174): Chapter 15 The Large Group (pages 175-188): Chapter 16 All in the Same Boat: The Value of Homogeneous Groups (pages 189-202): Chapter 17 Groups for Children and Adolescents (pages 203-219): Chapter 18 Family Therapy: A Group?Analytic Perspective (pages 220-230): Chapter 19 The Application of Group Analysis to Non?Clinical Settings (pages 231-236): Chapter 20 The Supervision of Group Therapy (pages 237-246): Chapter 21 The Group Analyst as a Professional (pages 247-254): Chapter 22 The Changing Landscape of Group Analysis (pages 255-268):

Grounding Globalization: Labour in the Age of Insecurity By Edward Webster, Rob Lambert, Andries Bezuidenhout(auth.), Noel Castree(eds.)
2008 | 275 Pages | ISBN: 140512914X | PDF | 4 MB
*Winner of the 2009 Distinguished Scholarly Monograph Prize, awarded by the American Sociological Association Labor and Labor Movements section* Claims have been made on the emergence of a new labour internationalism in response to the growing insecurity created by globalization. However, when persons face conditions of insecurity they often turn inwards. The book contains a warning and a sign of hope. Some workers become fatalistic, even xenophobic. Others are attempting to globalize their own struggles. Examines the claim that a new labour internationalism is emerging by grounding the book in evidence, rather than assertion Analyzes three distinct places - Orange, Australia; Changwon, South Korea; and Ezakheni, South Africa - and how they dealt with manufacturing plants undergoing restructuring Explores worker responses to rising levels of insecurity and examines preconditions for the emergence of counter-movements to such insecurities Highlights the significance of 'place' and 'scale', and demonstrates how the restructuring of multi-national corporations, and worker responses to this, connect the two concepts Content: Chapter 1 The Polanyi Problem and the Problem with Polanyi (pages 1-21): Chapter 2 Manufacturing Matters (pages 27-50): Chapter 3 The Return of Market Despotism (pages 51-77): Chapter 4 Citizenship Matters (pages 78-103): Chapter 5 Strong Winds in Ezakheni (pages 109-126): Chapter 6 Escaping Social Death in Changwon (pages 127-140): Chapter 7 Squeezing Orange (pages 141-156): Chapter 8 History Matters (pages 161-185): Chapter 9 Grounding Labour Internationalism (pages 186-211): Chapter 10 The Necessity for Utopian Thinking (pages 212-227):

Grain Boundaries and Crystalline Plasticity By
2011 | 348 Pages | ISBN: 1848213271 | PDF | 32 MB
This book explores the fundamental role of grain boundaries in the plasticity of crystalline materials, providing a multi-scale approach to plasticity to facilitate understanding. It starts with the atomic description of a grain boundary, moves on to the elemental interaction processes between dislocations and grain boundaries, and finally shows how the microscopic phenomena influence the macroscopic behaviors and constitutive laws. Drawing on topics from physical, chemical, and mechanical disciplines, this work also explains properties of deformation at low and high temperature, creep, fatigue, and rupture.Content: Chapter 1 Grain Boundary Structures and Defects (pages 1-46): Chapter 2 Elementary Grain Boundary Deformation Mechanisms (pages 47-107): Chapter 3 Grain Boundaries in Cold Deformation (pages 109-163): Chapter 4 Creep and High Temperature Plasticity (pages 165-215): Chapter 5 Intergranular Fatigue (pages 217-280): Chapter 6 Intergranular Segregation and Crystalline Material Fracture (pages 281-325): Chapter 1 Bicrystallography and Topological Characterization of Interfacial Defects (pages 327-332): Chapter 2 Appendices of Chapter 3 (pages 333-339):

Glucose Syrups: Technology and Applications By Peter Hull(auth.)
2010 | 375 Pages | ISBN: 1405175567 | PDF | 6 MB
Glucose syrups (commonly known as corn syrups in North America) are derived from starch sources such as maize, wheat and potatoes. Offering alternative functional properties to sugar as well as economic benefits, glucose syrups are extremely versatile sweeteners, and are widely used in food manufacturing and other industries. They are a key ingredient in confectionery products, beer, soft drinks, sports drinks, jams, sauces and ice creams, as well as in pharmaceuticals and industrial fermentations. This book brings together all the relevant information on the manufacture and use of glucose syrups. Drawing on forty years' experience in the international glucose industry, the author provides a valuable reference for all those involved in the processing and buying of these syrups, and for scientists involved in the manufacture of a full range of food (and some non-food) products in which the syrups are ingredients. The emphasis is on practical information - recipes are included where relevant in the applications chapters, and appendices offer commonly-used calculations and useful data. Food technologists can use the book to make choices about the most suitable glucose syrup to use in a particular application, and also to adapt recipes in order to replace sugar (sucrose) or other ingredients. A glossary of terms reflecting the international terminology of the industry completes the book. Content: Chapter 1 History of Glucose Syrups (pages 1-7): Chapter 2 Fructose Containing Syrups (pages 9-17): Chapter 3 Glucose Syrup Manufacture (pages 19-44): Chapter 4 Explanation of Glucose Syrup Specifications (pages 45-60): Chapter 5 Application Properties of Glucose Syrups (pages 61-75): Chapter 6 Syrup Applications: an Overview (pages 77-100): Chapter 7 Trehalose (pages 101-106): Chapter 8 Sugar Alcohols: an Overview (pages 107-117): Chapter 9 Glucose Syrups in Baking and Biscuit Products (pages 119-132): Chapter 10 Glucose Syrups in Brewing (pages 133-148): Chapter 11 Glucose Syrups in Confectionery (pages 149-173): Chapter 12 Glucose Syrups in Fermentations: an Overview (pages 175-184): Chapter 13 Glucose Syrups in Ice Creams and Similar Products (pages 185-202): Chapter 14 Glucose Syrups in Jams (pages 203-219): Chapter 15 Glucose Syrups in Tomato Products and other Types of Dressings and Sauces (pages 221-226): Chapter 16 Glucose Syrups in Soft Drinks (pages 227-238): Chapter 17 Glucose Syrups in Health and Sports Drinks (pages 239-249): Chapter 18 Carbohydrate Metabolism and Caloric Values (pages 251-260): Chapter 19 Caramel - the Colouring (pages 261-263):
