Pablo Picasso's artistic output is astonishing in its ambition and variety. This handsome publication examines a particular aspect of his legendary capacity for invention: his imaginative and original use of paper. He used it as a support for autonomous works, including etchings, prints and drawings, as well as for his papier-collé experiments of the 1910s and his revolutionary three-dimensional 'constructions', made of cardboard, paper and string. Sometimes, his use of paper was simply determined by circumstance: in occupied Paris, where art supplies were hard to come by, he ripped up paper tablecloths to make works of art. And, of course, his works on paper comprise the preparatory stages of some of his very greatest paintings, among them Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907) and Guernica (1937). With reproductions of more than 300 works of art and additional texts by Violette Andres, Stephen Coppel, Emmanuelle Hincelin, Christopher Lloyd, Johan Popelard and Claustre Rafart Planas, this sumptuous study reveals the myriad ways in which Picasso's genius seized the potential of paper at different stages throughout his career.

Along the way are hurricanes in the Atlantic, typhoons and earthquakes in the Pacific and the Orient, wild times on Navy ships and on Navy liberty ashore, as well as rescues at sea--including the famous sinking of the Mary E in the 1976 Miami-Nassau race. There are also evocative stories of idyllic cruises and places, like Nantucket, Scandinavia, Greece, and the coasts of the United States. Robinson's stories are peopled with a warm, amusing, and frequently dramatic cast of characters, including yachts themselves--ranging from sailing skiffs to large ocean-racing machines, and most things in between--old and new, large and small, in storm and calm. His has been a rich sailing life and his stories tell of it with fascination and inescapable entertainment.

Conversational in tone and seasoned with real-life stories from his own successes and failures as a leader, Robinson helps Christian leaders wrestle with four questions that emerge from John's introduction of Jesus, "and the word became flesh and dwelt among us…."Jesus dwelt with those he led, how can I be closer to those I lead?Jesus disciples beheld him, how can I be more transparent with those I lead?The glory of Jesus was a reflection of his father, am I seeking my own glory?Jesus led with grace and truth, how can I lead with grace and truth?Incarnate Leadership is indispensable reading for anyone in a position of leadership – whether in a church setting, corporation, school board, or home. The book is packaged as a short one-evening read, similar to other popular business books.

Feedback-informerad terapi – FIT baseras på erfarenheter och forskning om vad som faktiskt fungerar i terapi. Det finns flera hundra olika former och metoder inom psykoterapifältet men nyare metastudier och resultat­utvärderingar har visat att alliansen mellan terapeut och klient är mer avgörande för ett positivt resultat än valet av terapimetod.FIT har ett mångteoretiskt förhållningssätt till utvärdering och förbättring av kvalitet och effektivitet i förändringsarbete. Metoden går ut på att regelbundet och formaliserat få feedback från klienten om allians och behandlingsresultat. Denna feedback använder terapeuten till att anpassa och modifiera sitt arbetssätt till klientens preferenser och behov. Den öppna dialogen mellan terapeut och klient förbättrar resultaten och risken för tidiga avhopp minskar dramatiskt. FIT följer American Psychological Associations (APA) definition av evidens­baserad praktik.I boken beskrivs samtliga aspekter av FIT; empiriska utgångspunkter, grundläggande och avancerade tillämpningar (inklusive arbete med grupper, par, handledning och implementering). FIT är användarvänligt med enkla mått skapade för att fungera i kliniskt vardags­arbete. Som användare kan du skaffa ett konto på ICCE:s webbsida där du kan ladda ner svenska versioner av de skalor och diagram som ingår i metoden. Feedback-informerad terapi – FIT är tänkt för alla som arbetar med samtal som förändringsverktyg, såsom psykoterapeuter, socionomer, kuratorer, specialpedagoger samt studerande inom dessa yrkes­områden.
