DOWNLOAD EBOOKLA CINETERAPIA: el cine como complemento del tratamiento del enfermo psiquiátrico. El cine, considerado como el séptimo arte, tiene mucho de similar con el soñar y el imaginar. En la películas ejercemos entonces lo mismo que hacemos en el estado onírico: los procesos de empatía, emocionales, las estrategias que nos pueden funcionar ante determinados problemas existenciales. Vamos al cine para identificarnos por unas horas, con alguno de los personajes de la pantalla y ejercitar ciertos circuitos cerebrales que tiene que ver con eventos de la vida cotidiana, y otros a los que quizás nunca tendremos acceso, por ejemplo, estar en una caminata espacial, luchar al lado de Alejandro el Magno, volar en un globo aerostático, o asomarnos a la oficina de un dictados que juega con un globo terráqueo inflable. La cinematografía ha desarrollado muchos personajes, que como en la vida cotidiana, están enfermos. Un tema recurrente, es el de los trastornos psiquiátricos. Los cuales son totalmente ajenos a la mayoría de las personas, inclusive para quien los padece. Es por ello que este libro trata de ser un apoyo para el entendimiento de este tipo de dolencias, desde la perspectiva del cine. Entender y comprender es un primer paso para aceptar y tolerar, estos últimos, procesos vitales en el tratamiento de las enfermedades psiquiátricas. Es un libro para enfermos, familiares, amigos y para los profesionales que quieran prescribir, además de medicamentos y terapia, una serie de videos para apoyar el tratamiento de sus pacientes.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAn analysis of divergent online news preferences of journalists and consumers and what this means for media and democracy in the digital age. The websites of major media organizations—CNN, USA Today, the Guardian, and others—provide the public with much of the online news they consume. But although a large proportion of the top stories these sites disseminate cover politics, international relations, and economics, users of these sites show a preference (as evidenced by the most viewed stories) for news about sports, crime, entertainment, and weather. In this book, Pablo Boczkowski and Eugenia Mitchelstein examine the divergence in preferences and consider its implications for the media industry and democratic life in the digital age. Drawing on analyses of more than 50,000 stories posted on twenty news sites in seven countries in North and South America and Western Europe, Boczkowski and Mitchelstein find that the gap in news preferences exists regardless of ideological orientation or national media culture, and that it is not affected by innovations in forms of storytelling, such as blogs and user-generated content on mainstream news sites. Drawing upon these findings, they explore the news gap's troubling consequences for the matrix that connects communication, technology, and politics in the digital age.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSometimes evil has a familiar face . . . Paul Artisan, P.I. is a new version of an old breed -- a righter of wrongs, someone driven to get to the bottom of things. Too bad his usual cases are of the boring malpractice and fraud variety. Until now. His new gig turns on the disappearance of one of a pair of twins, adult scions of a rich but tragedy-prone family. The missing twin -- a charismatic poster-boy for irresponsibility -- has spent his life daring people to hate him, punishing himself endlessly for his screw-ups and misdeeds. The other twin -- Artisan's client -- is dutiful and resentful in equal measure, bewildered that his "other half" could have turned out so badly, and wracked by guilt at his inability to reform him. He has a more practical reason, as well, for wanting his brother found: their crazy father, in failing health and with guilty secrets of his own, will not divide the family fortune until both siblings are accounted for. But it isn't just a fortune that's at stake here. Truth itself is up for grabs, as the detective's discoveries seem to challenge everything we think we know about identity, and human nature, and family. As Artisan journeys across the globe to track down the bad twin, he seems to have moved into a mirror-world where friends and enemies have a way of looking very much alike. The P.I. may have his long-awaited chance to put his courage and ideals to the test, but if he doesn't get to the bottom of this case soon, it could very well cost him his life. Troup's long-awaited Bad Twin is a suspenseful novel that touches on many powerful themes, including the consequence of vengeance, the power of redemption, and where to turn when all seems lost. Bad Twin is a work of fiction and all names, characters and incidents are used fictitiously; the author himself is a fictional character.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIs television dead? The classic television era of the 1950s and 1960s, characterized by limited choices of programs broadcast on over the air channels to families as if they were seated around a hearth – and to a nation as if gathered around a campfire – has indeed ended. Throughout the drastic evolution of this media, thousands of studies have examined the short-term effects of television, such as the evaluation of persuasion campaigns. Yet there is scant research on the overreaching sociological impacts of television and its centrality to Western culture over the past 60 years. This compelling volume of The ANNALS is the first collection of rigorous articles devoted to studying ways in which television has impacted our values, ideologies, institutions, social structure, and culture.
