Book Description
Auntie Cornie, Joes aunt whom he had stayed with during his secondary school days, had wanted him to marry Belinda, the daughter of a wealthy couple. This idea, according to Cornie, will make Joe rich. But Joe did not, because he wanted to break away from her influence. When Joe finally married Evelyn and they could not have children for over six years, Auntie Cornie suggested that he divorce her and marry Serwaa, one of Cornies friends, but Joe would not do that. After trying everything humanly possible without success, Cornie advised Serwaa to use voodoo on Joe and directed her to a spiritualist for help. The concoction that was meant for Joe to take his focus off Evelyn and love Serwaa ended up being eaten by Yaappiah, a mad man who now pursues Serwaa as his lover.
THE PSYCHOCYBERNETIC MODEL OF ART THERAPY
Author: Aina O. NuchoPublisher: Charles C Thomas Publisher
ISBN: 0398084416
Category : Art therapy
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
This expanded second edition is an important reference volume on the theoretical foundations of art therapy. The text presents a detailed account of the origins and rationale of art therapy. The author underscores the need for a new model of intervention, describes the advantages of visual forms of cognition, discusses general system theory and the field of cybernetics, delineates several existing models of art therapy, and outlines the essential features of the psychocybernetic model—a model combining the verbal-analytic and the visual imagistic symbol systems. The text then focuses on implementation of the model and the four steps of the therapeutic process: unfreezing, doing, dialogue, and ending and integrating. A number of specific techniques to promote visual cognition are suggested and practical matters including the qualifications necessary for the practice of this intervention model, as well as the time, space, and art materials required, are presented. Readers will find the discussion of the psychocybernetic process immensely helpful, particularly if they wish to combine the traditional, largely verbal means of interpersonal helping with techniques of art therapy. In addition, the author presents analyses of case studies as well as a collection of client artworks to illustrate the appropriate use of the model. This new edition will prove useful not only when working with children and adolescents, but also with various kinds of adults, ranging from minimally dysfunctional to severely dysfunctional, and also with those who are in the final phases of life. This book will serve as an excellent reference for libraries and teachers of expressive therapies as well as for use by practitioners of various forms of psychotherapy.

Pages : 226
Book Description
About the Book A CRICKETING HISTORY CAPTURING THE SPORTING SPIRIT OF THE CITY OF BOMBAY. There was a time when Bombay was almost synonymous with cricket in India. A Million Broken Windows is the story of how that came to be: of the players who filled the gullies and maidans of the city with their exuberant and institutively skilful play, of the coaches who spotted talent and created opportunities for their boys to grow, and of the crowds that came to cheer their teams, weekday or weekend. Together they ensured that, whatever the result, the joy of competing and pushing oneself, and others, to do better was never lost. Since the inception of the Ranji trophy, Bombay has lifted the trophy forty-one times. Its batsmen and bowlers have had starring roles in match after match, across tournaments, formats and continents. Captains, coaches, administrators—Bombay has contributed to the game in every possible way. The book is both a tribute and a testimony to the conquestorial yet generous spirit that animates the game in the city that is the birthplace of cricket in India.

Category : Social Science

Pages : 273
Book Description
Bahram Beyzaie is one of Iran's leading playwrights and auteur filmmakers. This book examines several of Beyzaie's films and plays and their preoccupation with the modalities and transformations of Iranian contemporary, historical and mythical identity from different perspectives. The chapters analyse Beyzaie's influential plays such as Arash and So Dies Pahlevan Akbar and his filmic magnum opuses such as The Crow, Bashu, the Little Stranger and Killing Mad Dogs from a range of critical perspectives including ecofeminist, sociopolitical, new-historicist, archetypal and psychoanalytical readings. They also explore Beyzaie's dialogue with filmic genres such as noir, different Iranian languages such as Gilaki, Iranian epics and ritual practices such as ta'ziyeh plays and javanmardi chivalry cults. Together, the chapters show how Beyzaie's works negotiate narratives of belonging and undermine the dominant exclusionist discourses in Iran, and how they use the resources of Iranian folk and performance traditions to comment on the position of women, children, intellectuals, and minorities in society.
