Devotion to St Anne, the apocryphal mother of the Virgin Mary, reached its height in the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. Until now, Anne's reception history and political symbolism during this period have been primarily discussed through the lens of art history. This is the first study to explore the music that honoured the saint and its connections to some of the most prominent court cultures of western Europe. Michael Alan Anderson examines plainchant and polyphonic music for St Anne, in sources both familiar and previously unstudied, to illuminate not only Anne's wide-ranging intercessional capabilities but also the political force of the music devoted to her. Whether viewed as a fertility aide, wise mother, or dynastic protector, she modelled a number of valuable roles that rulers reflected in the music of their devotional programmes to project their noble lineage and prestige.

Catatonia is a syndrome of motor dysregulation (mutism, peculiar postures, repetitive speech, negativism and imitative movements), and is found in as many as ten per cent of acutely ill psychiatric inpatients. Although its classification has been controversial, the identification of catatonia is not difficult, but it is often missed, leading to the false notion that the syndrome is rare. Catatonia has various presentations, and may be caused by many neurologic and general medical conditions, most commonly mood disorder. Treatments are well defined, and when used, catatonia has an excellent prognosis. This book, by two leading neuropsychiatrists, describes the features of catatonia, teaches the reader how to identify and treat the syndrome successfully, and describes its neurobiology. Patient vignettes from the authors' practices, and many from the classical literature, illustrate the principles of diagnosing and treating patients with catatonia. It is an essential clinical reference for psychiatrists and neurologists.

Timeweave: Synopsis Timeweave is a historical fantasy that starts with a band of Vikings attacking an Anglo-Saxon village and taking the villagers captive. Two survivors, both weavers, are told by a mystical warrior to weave a message asking for help, which is then sent to a weaving shed on a Victorian landed estate. After the message arrives, the landowner's daughter is drawn back in time to the Anglo-Saxon village and this compels the landowner to raise a rescue party to go in search of his daughter and the villagers. Interspersed by further messages between the two centuries there are ambushes, threats of torture, moral dilemmas and hostage taking to be resolved, before the rescue mission is successful and the inhabitants of both eras are able to return to their everyday lives. However, just as everything on the Victorian estate seems to be getting back to normal, there is a final twist with the arrival of a new message from the ninth century. Main theme A force of marauding Vikings attacks an Anglo-Saxon village and captures most of the inhabitants. A mystic warrior, Kenwyn, suddenly appears and offers to help two survivors, Aidan and Sheply, who are weavers. He enables them to magically send a message from one of their looms to the weaving shed of a 19th century widowed landowner, Josiah Armitage. Josiah's only daughter, Emily, becomes involved in the affair. She disobeys him and is drawn back to the year AD 850 by Kenwyn, and because of this Josiah is eventually persuaded to raise an armed force to go on a rescue mission to save Emily and the captured villagers. The rescue group suffers a number of setbacks, and Josiah sends Emily back with the wounded to Victorian times. After a fire at Josiah's estate, Emily returns to be with her father but is taken hostage by the Vikings. After a difficult moral dilemma in deciding how to free her, Josiah and his group are able to bring about the successful outcome of the rescue mission and to return safely to Victorian England. Subsidiary themes There is an ongoing relationship between Josiah's family and the family of his neighbour, a rich widow, Lillian Maddison. Lillian attempts to bring about the betrothal of Emily to her son, Benjamin, and her own marriage to Josiah. In the absence of Josiah on the rescue mission, a romantic involvement occurs between Lillian and Arthur Abraham, a professor of linguistics, who is helping in the rescue effort as a translator. During the rescue mission, Emily feels a growing attachment for both Jack French, from Josiah's estate and Aidan, Jack's ninth century alter ego. As a result of being wounded on the rescue mission, after his repatriation Benjamin Maddison turns violently against Emily and Josiah by getting one of his employees to burn down their weaving shed, thus putting communication and the whole rescue mission in jeopardy. During the final armed engagement against the Vikings, Aidan disappears, presumably captured by the Vikings. Josiah returns to Victorian times successful, but is compelled to investigate the arson attack, and finally discovers that Benjamin is the guilty party. Josiah is a local magistrate and he deals successfully with the treatment of Benjamin and at the same time tries to maintain the impetus of his rekindled relationship with Lillian. There is a slow development of the relationship between Emily and Jack French, but just as Victorian life is getting back to normal, a further message arrives from the ninth century signed Aidan .
A widow travels through time and space and tries to end the curse put on her by a terrible wizard.
Since the introduction of psychoanalysis, radical paradigm shifts have occurred in philosophy, science, mathematics, and the arts. How we exchange information, how we interact on the global stage, and how we conceive of ourselves as citizens have also evolved. And yet, depth psychotherapy remains locked within its nineteenth-century image, poorly understood by those not intimately involved in its processes. Lover, Exorcist, Critic dives deeply into the field’s history, examining the cultural and historical context from which it emerged, and explaining how it evolved into a more vitalising methodology. Alan Michael Karbelnig exposes the inner workings of depth psychotherapy using the innovative perspective of three distinct social role analogies. As Lovers, psychoanalysts create a warm, accepting environment; as Exorcists, they receive, process, and deliver back projections; and, as Critics, they analyse, confront, and educate patients about self- and other-destructive patterns. These methods come to life in the rich descriptions of how psychoanalytic processes progressed with three fictional patients. Carlos, who suffered neglect and abuse during his childhood in East Los Angeles, struggled with the emotional intensity of depth psychotherapy and took months-long breaks when he felt too vulnerable. Gilda, a Greek-American woman sexually abused in her adolescence and traumatised by a physical attack in adulthood, grappled with periods of suicidal depression and episodic psychogenic fugue states. These severe symptoms made the psychotherapy process, at various times, difficult to contain. The final patient, Penn, an orthopaedic surgeon struggling with anxiety and over-achievement which left him exhausted, demonstrates the benefit gained by a person undergoing depth psychotherapy, intermittently, for more than two decades. Bravely exploring the failures alongside the successes, Dr. Karbelnig demonstrates the myriad ways psychoanalytic processes unfold and why they remain an effective, even vibrant way to reduce pain, grow, and live a more authentic life.

Just for fun, the vandals toss monkey wrenches into the machinery of life, wreaking poetic havoc.
In Love Song with Motor Vehicles, Alan Michael Parker marshals a penetrating wit and sharp irony that mirrors that of Charles Simic and John Berryman. Parker's robust imagination explores the music in places poetry doesn't usually travel. His poems find their epiphanies early on, and, most strikingly, do not close at their endings but, rather, open.Alan Michael Parker is the author of two books of poetry, and co-editor of two scholarly works, The Routledge Anthology of Cross-Gendered Verse and Who's Who in 20th Century World Poetry (Routledge Books). In 2000, his poems were included in all three major volumes of "younger American poets" (Carnegie Mellon University Press, University of Southern Illinois Press, and University of New England Press).
