Each chapter is devoted to tailoring exposure work to a specific anxiety-related condition, such as separation anxiety, phobias, panic, social anxiety, and more, using a variety of creative exposure ideas and activities.In Exposure Therapy for Treating Anxiety in Children and Adolescents, you'll find detailed hierarchies and clinical suggestions for treating each specific childhood anxiety condition, including separation anxiety, school refusal, selective mutism, specific phobia, generalized anxiety, panic disorder, social anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), and emotion tolerance. The book also offers an overview of exposure therapy and its implementation in children and adolescents, including a review of current research and empirical findings on this approach.With this book, you'll also find solid strategies for conducting detailed clinical assessments, so you can gain a greater understanding the specific anxiety triggers and factors that play a role in the development of and maintenance of the child's problem, and learn how this information can be used to guide you in your development of specific exposure exercises. Finally, you'll find tips on how to assess for family variables that may contribute to the maintenance of the child's condition, as well as ways to work with parents in becoming effective coaches for their children during exposure-based activities.Children are vastly different than adults in their treatment needs and in the process through which effective therapy is implemented.

Til daglig indgår vores materielle omgivelser som noget helt ”naturligt” i vores hverdagsliv – som noget, vi ikke umiddelbart tænker har meget at gøre med vores sociale liv. Men vores liv er på mange måder viklet ind i det materielle. Materialitet og læring handler om samspillet mellem arkitektur, rum, krop og læring. Det gennemgående tema er forskellige materialiteter og de oplevelser, processer, begivenheder og interventioner, hvori det fysiske indgår og udspiller sig på forskellige måder som en del af det sociale. Begrebet læring i titlen skal forstås i ordets brede betydning. Der er tale om en formning eller socialisering, der – oftest uden ord, og uden vi tænker over det – virker opdragende på os. Bogen er en selvstændig efterfølger til Arkitektur, krop og læring, som udkom i 2005. I Materialitet og læring er kapitlerne ordnet i forhold til forskellige teoretiske paradigmer. Målet er at vise, hvordan de forskellige teoriretninger betragter forholdet mellem materialitet og menneske. Samtidig demonstrerer kapitlerne, hvordan de respektive teorier beskriver relationerne mellem fysiske omgivelser, ting og mennesker, samt hvordan disse relationer skabes og udfolder sig. Forfatterne er alle danske forskere, der har arbejdet med materialitet og læring i forskellige fag og ud fra forskellige teoretiske tilgange. Bogen henvender sig til alle, der arbejder med eller har interesse for materialiteters betydning i bred forstand, lige fra arkitektur og teknologi til redskabers indvirkning på den måde, det sociale udfolder sig på. Bogen er velegnet som introduktion til temaet for studerende på forskellige niveauer i uddannelsessystemet, men tilbyder også forskere og andre interesserede et primært teoretisk overblik over emnet materialitet og læring.
This book traces the development of pastoral drama as it evolved over the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in Italy. It considers how writers of pastoral drama responded to social, cultural and intellectual pressures and innovations, regarding critical attitudes towards theatre and the arts.

The Other Voice’s edition of Barbara Torelli’s pastoral drama Partenia (c. 1586) is a groundbreaking contribution to the study of early modern Italian literature and women’s writing. This is the first ever print edition of the earliest secular play by an Italian woman, acclaimed at the time of its composition—the drama theorist Angelo Ingegneri placed it on a par with Tasso’s Aminta and Guarini’s Pastor fido—but long forgotten, to the extent that it was believed lost until the early twentieth century, when the first manuscript of it surfaced in Cremona.
Climate and Natural Hazard Risks is an in-depth examination of the physical, environmental, economic, and social impacts of climate change and natural hazards on vulnerable populations in different areas around the world. The authors open with the simple question “what is risk?,” taking a detailed look at global trends and risk frameworks as they relate to climate change. From there, the chapters systematically review different hazards and their implications for risk and resilience (hurricanes, cyclones, flooding, extreme temperatures, food insecurity, earthquakes, tsunamis). The authors then delve into the latest research and data surrounding probabilistic hazard assessment and multi-hazard risk assessment. The book closes with a thoughtful discussion on resilience and the wide-reaching impacts of environmental transitions. Professionals working across climate change, environmental risk assessment, and disaster resilience will find much to consider in this thought-provoking text.
A riveting personal exploration of the healthcare crisis facing inner-city communities, written by an emergency room physician who grew up in the very neighborhood he is now serving Sampson Davis is best known as one of three friends from inner-city Newark who made a pact in high school to become doctors. Their book "The Pact" and their work through the Three Doctors Foundation have inspired countless young men and women to strive for goals they otherwise would not have dreamed they could attain. In this book, Dr. Davis looks at the healthcare crisis in the inner city from a rare perspective: as a doctor who works on the front line of emergency medical care in the community where he grew up, and as a member of that community who has faced the same challenges as the people he treats every day. He also offers invaluable practical advice for those living in such communities, where conditions like asthma, heart disease, stroke, obesity, and AIDS are disproportionately endemic. Dr. Davis's sister, a drug addict, died of AIDS; his brother is now paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair as a result of a bar fight; and he himself did time in juvenile detention--a wake-up call that changed his life. He recounts recognizing a young man who is brought to the E.R. with critical gunshot wounds as someone who was arrested with him when he was a teenager during a robbery gone bad; describes a patient whose case of sickle-cell anemia rouses an ethical dilemma; and explains the difficulty he has convincing his landlord and friend, an older woman, to go to the hospital for much-needed treatment. With empathy and hard-earned wisdom, "Living and Dying in Brick City "presents an urgent picture of medical care in our cities. It is an important resource guide for anyone at risk, anyone close to those at risk, and anyone who cares about the fate of our cities. Praise for "Living and Dying in Brick City" "A pull-no-punches look at health care from a seldom-heard sector . . . "Living and Dying "isn't a sky-is-falling chronicle. It's a real, gutsy view of a city hospital."--"Essence"" " "Gripping . . . a prescription to help kids dream bigger than their circumstances, from someone who really knows."--"People"" " " Dr. Davis] is really a local hero. His story has inspired so many of our young people, and he's got his finger on the pulse of what is a challenge in Newark, and frankly all across America. . . . I think his book is going to make a big impact."--Mayor Cory Booker "Some memoirs are heartfelt, some are informative and some are even important. Few, however, are all three. . . . As rare as it is for a book to be heartfelt, well written and inspirational, it's even rarer for a critic to say that a book should be required reading. This ought to be included in high school curricula--for the kids in the suburbs who have no idea what life is like in the inner cities, and for the kids in the inner cities to know that there is a way out."--"The Star-Ledger" "Dramatic and powerful."--New York "Daily News" "This book just might save your life. Sampson Davis shares fascinating stories from the E.R. and addresses the inner-city health crisis. His book is an important investment in your most valuable resource: your health."--Suze Orman, author of "The Money Class" "From the Hardcover edition."
Follows the experiences of the authors, three friends who grew up in impoverished families in Newark, New Jersey, and who supported one another in their dreams of becoming doctors in spite of tremendous disadvantages.
