This volume introduces, through a series of freshly researched studies, new perspectives on the history of European urban culture from the eighteenth to the twentieth century. The approach is an international one, with essays on Austria-Hungary, France, Germany, Great Britain and Italy, and the authors drawn not only from Europe, but also the USA and Japan. The essays examine a range of specialist aspects of culture, such as gardening, spa towns, painting, and music. At the same time the contributors also explore jointly several broader interconnected themes - health, nature, the arts and cultural institutions, leisure, and tourism - of central importance to the cultural identity and development of the modern European town.
The field of surveillance studies is developing at a rapid rate, fuelled by a deep unease about the future of individual privacy and growing interest in a number of questions that lie at the heart of the discipline. What information is held about us? To what extent is that information secure? How should new technologies be regulated? How will developments in surveillance affect our ordinary and everyday lives? Deliberately multi-disciplinary in character, New Directions in Surveillance and Privacy examines these questions from a range of different perspectives, and includes contributions from leading academics in sociology, law, management studies, literary analysis and Internet studies. As privacy comes under increasing threat and surveillance extends into more and more areas of our daily lives, surveillance studies needs to develop in new directions, form new perspectives, and gain new insights. In keeping with this aim, the chapters of this book consider how individuals, organisations, and states gather, analyse, and share ever-increasing amounts of our personal and private information. Divided into three sections, this book contains chapters touching on issues of legal regulation, changes in the technology of surveillance, and on the future of privacy and surveillance. In so doing, this new collection provides a unique and eclectic insight into the question of how the spread of surveillance is changing our lives and the societies in which we live.
A rich and evidence-informed collection of personal accounts on becoming an integrative practitioner in psychotherapy and counselling psychology. This book will help trainees and practitioners develop a deep understanding of integrative theory and practice. Introducing the idea of an ‘embodied relational integrative practitioner’ will help inform your understanding on how to develop professionalism and competency and learn to work effectively as an integrative counsellor or therapist. The authors expertly clarify the theory, invite reflection on key issues, examine the history and recent developments of the integrative approach and offer new concepts and practical frameworks. Each author shares their unique, individualised approach to integration, providing new directions in the field. They capture the fluid and ever-evolving nature of psychological journeys, through clinical illustrations that navigate between concepts and practice. In doing so, the authors move beyond prescribed integrative approaches and encourage clinicians to be the architects of their own practice. • Provides an overview of current theories addressing the challenges and benefits of integrative practice. • Explores the philosophical foundations of models of counselling and psychotherapy. • Discusses the professional issues faced by integrative practitioners. • Introduces a new way of doing integration: embodiment. • Applies theory to real-world experiences, showing integration in practice and there-and-then dilemmas. ‘I deeply regret that I did not have access to such a brilliant and forward-thinking book when I first entered the psychotherapy field. [The authors] have produced the gold-standard textbook on integration in psychotherapy, providing us not only with solid theoretical models but, also, with moving personal testimonies about the ways in which practitioners can benefit from the best theories and practices in our profession, without having to become too secularised and segmented. I applaud the authors for their creative work, which will help to train a whole new generation.’ Professor Brett Kahr, Senior Fellow, Tavistock Institute of Medical Psychology, London, UK and Trustee, United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy ‘In a time of seemingly intractable and widening divisions and extremisms, voices expressing the virtues of integration and dialogue are increasingly necessary. This is no less true in the fields of psychotherapy and counselling. Luca, Marshall and Nuttall have produced a text that clearly demonstrates the benefits of an integrative approach to theory and practice. The heart of this text is the necessity for each therapist, regardless of their initial training and preferred model(s), to develop their own personal integrative and embodied way of working. In my view, both experienced therapists and those in training will want this book ready to hand. Highly recommended!’ Professor Michael Worrell, Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Head of Department, Postgraduate CBT Training, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK
