Infant and Early Childhood Neuropsychology

Practitioner’s Guide to Behavioral Problems in Children

Practitioner’s Guide to Behavioral Problems in Children

Glen P. Aylward

Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers
2003
sidottu
Over the last 25 years of clinical practice, I have been impressed with a paradox, namely, the uniqueness in each child, in contrast to the frequent commonalities found in the development of behavioral problems. I have also been duly impressed with the resilience of children and their families, and the impact that provision of knowledge regarding development and behavior can have on facilitating this resilience. Guidance provided by the practitioner to caretakers can have a tremendous influence in altering the of a behavioral concern, particularly if this guidance is provided course early in the evolution of the potential problem, and is directed toward skill development in the parents. Moreover, if parents can be provided with basic principles of behavior, and are able to self-monitor their reactions to the behaviors of their child, the likelihood of a positive outcome is enhanced. With these considerations in mind, the purpose of this book is two-fold. First, it provides a quick reference for the practitioner regard­ ing parenting, child development, and conceptualizing, identifying, and treating behavioral concerns. The text is geared to be a practical, quick read, which the practitioner can use in anticipatory guidance or first-tier interventions. The second purpose is to provide a reference for parents. More specifically, clinicians may recommend the book to parents as a so-called bibliotherapeutic aid, either to be read independently or used in conjunction with an intervention program provided by the practitioner.

Theatre in the Third Reich, the Prewar Years

Theatre in the Third Reich, the Prewar Years

Glen Gadberry

Praeger Publishers Inc
1995
sidottu
This volume considers prewar theatre in Hitler's Germany, a previously neglected subject in theatre history. An extended introduction sets the theatre scene of 1933 and charts the major theatre regulations and organizations formed that year. The initial essay examines the unified folk community used to achieve power and served by purged and revived German art. Plays that achieved great success in Nazi Germany—Die endlose Strasse by Sigmund Graff and six works by Eberhard Wolfgang Moller—are considered. In essays devoted to specific theatres, the work examines how Reinhardt's Grosses Schauspielhaus fared under the Nazis and how the regional Detmold Stadttheater was obliged to observe the new politicized aesthetics.The famous and privileged actor Werner Krauss is the subject of an essay on artistic responsibility, while a chapter on three famed directors—Grundgens, Fehling, and Hilpert—shows how artists maneuvered for artistic freedom. The Propaganda Ministry's first national festival in Dresden in 1934 is covered. The final two essays look at minority theatre—Jewish theatre in the anti-Semitic Third Reich and, as a postscript to the volume, theatre in the Nazi concentration camps.

Why do political philosophers why away from politics? After Politics: The Rejection of Politics in Contemporary Liberal Philosophy offers a challenging and original critique of liberalism, the dominant political philosophy of our time, tackling key issues like state legitimacy, value-pluralism, neutrality, the nature of politics, public reasons, and morality in politics. Analyzing major liberal theorists like Rawls, Habermas, Rorty, Barry, Gray, Raz, Larmore, Ackerman and others, Glen Newey argues that liberalism by-passes politics because it ignores or misunderstands human motivation, and elevates academic system-building over political realities of conflict and power.

REFLECTIONS IN BLACK Remembering Anne Moody and Others Who Paved the Way
This book of poetry revisits history and recaptures the mindset of Negroes as they suffered through the cruel and racist period known as the Jim Crow era. It boldly articulates the words that Negroes of that period would only dare to mumble beneath their breath. Yet, its message is not one of hate or negativity, but rather an admonition for all people to embrace equality and love each other. Reflections in Black prudently expresses yesterday's pain without compromising today's peace.
