THE GANDHI TECHNIQUE: A NEW PROCEDURE FOR INTRACTABLE PROBLEMS

Most therapists eventually encounter a client with intractable difficulties. Such difficulties have various origins. The Gandhi Technique is a simple, dramatic and seemingly effective procedure to resolve intractable difficulties. This paper describes the technique and its application in three different cases. The paper also discusses several theories which may account for the efficacy of the technique. The authors propose the technique as a procedure that can be employed to resolve many kinds of problems, regardless of their origin.     

Children in Hospital

SUMMARY. The care of children in hospital has greatly changed over the past thirty years. Their stay in hospital is now much shorter, they are more likely to be cared for in paediatric wards, by staff specially trained to meet their needs, with close, continuing attention from their parents. This article traces these changes from the days when visiting was strictly limited to the family centred care to be found in most hospital wards today. The processes by which these changes came about are described and the areas of concern which still remain are considered     

The Body Comes to Therapy Too

Current research reveals that trauma often cannot be resolved solely through interventions that utilize left-brain functions, such as those used in traditional talk therapy. Because trauma is actually something that happens deep in the core of the brain and the body, the most effective treatment approaches integrate traditional therapy modalities with those that focus on calming the nervous system such as yoga, mindfulness, imagery, expressive arts, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. This paper will focus on synthesizing current information on traumatic stress, the neurobiology of trauma, and evidence-based, body-integrative interventions provided within the framework of the Collaborative Change Model (CCM) (Barrett in The systemic treatment of incest. Taylor & Francis, Bristol, 1989; Treating complex trauma: a relational blueprint for collaboration and change. Rutledge, New York, 2014). Through the framework of the CCM, this paper will provide clinicians with an understanding of how and when to engage clients in body–mind approaches, how to help clients learn to recognize when they are in fight, flight, or freeze response patterns, and how to develop skills for managing emotional dysregulation. A detailed case study will be provided to illustrate this integrative approach in the treatment of trauma.     

看台里有商机——体育场馆是户外广告的最后一个突破口

金融危机爆发后，大量的小公司由于受到重创而纷纷倒闭。这场危机的影响似乎还未波及到体育运动领域，因此纽约一家新起步的媒体公司，ArenaMediaNetworks（简称AMN）伙伴就是专业体育团队。AMN仅有25名员工，它通过与近50家专业室内体育馆和户外体育场的合作，出售大屏幕广告。合作伙伴包括洋基球场、箭牌体育场、芝加哥联合中心、洛杉矶道奇体育场以及麦迪逊广场花园。     

In Search of More Meaningful Search

The amount of online scholarly information is rapidly expanding and residing in increasingly disparate sources, while user behavior is evolving to demand single search interfaces like Google. Federated search enables librarians to meet these challenges by supplying efficient, effective access and delivery of the most relevant content from diverse sources to their patrons. Introducing the ability to simultaneously search multiple databases, however, can quickly lead to information overload. Dynamic categorization of search results is one way to manage and organize the large volume of content returned. This article will examine various federated search technologies and important considerations that librarians should undertake when evaluating federated search applications, as well as address how SwetsWise Searcher supports the fundamental aspects of federated searching within that context.
