What is unique about this book is that it immediately zeros in on what is relevant to you; that is, the specific stressors in your life and how you react to them. Once you’ve identified the sources of your stress, your most disturbing symptoms, and how you typi- cally cope with them, you are directed to the techniques that will help you in your particular situation. In short, you don’t have to waste your time reading material that isn’t relevant to your specific needs; instead you can focus on simple step-by-step instructions that will teach you how to feel better now. This workbook is based on more than twenty-five years of clinical experience working with clients who came to us with symptoms of tension and stress like insomnia, worry, high blood pressure, headaches, indigestion, depression, and road rage. When they seek help, many of these people report they are experiencing some kind of a transition, such as a loss, a promotion, or a move. This isn’t surprising, since stress can be defined as any change to which you must adapt. Most clients describe feeling worn down by everyday hassles such as dealing with inconsiderate or rude people, commuting long distances, caretaking children and elderly relatives, and man- aging tons of paperwork. One client referred to this “wearing down” process as a “death by a thousand cuts.” Indeed, unmanaged stress can have an accumulative effect that may lead to major psychological and physical illnesses. Clients also tell us about some of their less successful stress- management strategies: working harder and faster; numbing their pain and soothing themselves with drugs, alcohol, and food; worrying about their problems; procrastinating; and taking their frustrations out on others. To date, more than 700,000 people have purchased this book to learn how to relax their bodies, calm their minds, turn around their self-defeating

  • Signed Modern Firsts I: Achebe–Kunzru
    Pryor-Johnson Rare Books Signed Modern Firsts I: Achebe-Kunzru [1123 Broadway, Suite 517, New York, NY 10075] [email protected] What an odd time to be an antiquarian bookseller. As the whole world strives to heal while convulsing with rage against injustice, issue points and binding variants can seem pitifully insignificant. We slip into the shop masked and gloved to wrap and dispatch books, but 1123 Broadway has not now for months been a haven of bibliophilia, with baroque music playing and a pot of coffee freshly brewed. Yet we hear from our clients and feel ourselves that cultivating bibliomania — even reading the books — has been a balm. Reading has been an escape as well as a means of rediscovering some of the humanity that’s been eroded by seclusion. Signed books have always had to do with imputed distance: the author’s signature in it is a marker of its having passed through her hands, sometime somewhere. As our own geographical remit has narrowed, a signed book now feels even more like a piece of moon fallen into our hands. We feel it is vital to amplify black, brown and native voices. Thus we highlight the following authors in this list: Achebe, Borges, Danticat, Erdrich, Fuentes, Garcia-Aguilera, Iweala and Kunzru. Their work travers- es style, subject and period. There is no one “literature of color,” nor do we wish to tokenize or fetishize these authors’ work. Bringing the work of people of color to the fore nevertheless feels like a small but powerful role the world of antiquarian books can play — a safeguard against our becoming truly irrelevant or frivolous.

  • Sexuality, Spirituality and the Body: the Art and Science of Somatic Psychotherapy
    Somatic Psychotherapy Today | Winter 2016 | Volume 6 Number 1 | page 2 Sexuality, Spirituality and the Body: The Art and Science of Somatic Psychotherapy This forward-looking conference explores the exciting future of somatic psychology and bodymind therapies. Healing the whole person by working with the energies and emotions of our embodiment leads us to questions about the spirituality of each human-being and about the ways in which our sexual desires gird so many of our energy blocks and emotional conflicts. The 2016 USABP Conference will investigate the discovery of our embodied spirituality and the connections of bodymind therapy with other path-breaking fields such as transpersonal psychology, ecopsychology, and the traditions of spiritual healing. Also to be investigated are the challenges of working with sexuality in the context of bodymind practice — how is our sexual life, and the sexual lives of those whom we help in the clinical setting, to be integrated with our emotional, spiritual and somatic being-in-the-world.

    In honor of Eugene T. Gendlin The USABP Life Time Achievement Award Winner 2016 GENDLIN ON FOCUSING Focusing is simply the little, specific essence of directing the person's attention to what is not yet clear. And what is not yet clear can be directly sensed in the body. There is a special level, a special kind of space, a special kind of attention that most people don't know, to allow the body to form a wholistic sense of some problem. If one can stop and allow the body to respond to that, that problem or anything, there will be a bodily sense that will not be clear at first, no matter how much one knows about the problem. It includes everything one knows, but it is always a single whole, a single sense. This bodily sense has his own directions. It has its own need to form a further step. And something comes there, which one can't get any other way (Gendlin & Lietaer 1983). Somatic Psychotherapy Today | Winter 2016 | Volume 6 Number 1 | page 54 Eugene Gendlin, Somatic Pioneer By Ann Weiser Cornell One of the most important and influential trusting another, that enabled them to figures in somatic psychology is… a escape the Nazis, when many other families philosopher.

KNOBLAUCH has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by __________________________________ Chester J. Pach Associate Professor of History __________________________________ Howard Dewald Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT KNOBLAUCH, WILLIAM M., Ph.D., March 2012, History Selling the Second Cold War: Antinuclear Cultural Activism and Reagan Era Foreign Policy Director of Dissertation: Chester J. Pach This dissertation examines how 1980s antinuclear activists utilized popular culture to criticize the Reagan administration’s arms buildup. The 1970s and the era of détente marked a decade-long nadir for American antinuclear activism. Ronald Reagan’s rise to the presidency in 1981 helped to usher in the “Second Cold War,” a period of reignited Cold War animosities that rekindled atomic anxiety. As the arms race escalated, antinuclear activism surged. Alongside grassroots movements, such as the nuclear freeze campaign, a unique group of antinuclear activists—including publishers, authors, directors, musicians, scientists, and celebrities—challenged Reagan’s military buildup in American mass media and popular culture. These activists included Fate of the Earth author Jonathan Schell, Day After director Nicholas Meyer, and “nuclear winter” scientific-spokesperson Carl Sagan.

Globalization; Historical Background; National Standards Project in Economics; *Professional Sports; *Sport Management ABSTRACT This teacher's guide presents instructional materials which examine issues in professional sports for students in high school economics and social studies classes. The issues include how the pro sports market evolved; how leagues gained market power; why athletes earn as much as they do; what are the sources of pro sports revenues; why tickets cost so much; why there is such a high level of economic conflict in modern pro sports; and the globalization of pro sports. The teacher's guide, illustrated with vintage photographs, is divided into nine innings (as in baseball) or lessons. It uses baseball as a case study in professional sports to provide historical background information about the evolution of professional sports teams. The guide states that the instructional materials support 14 of the 20 voluntary national content standards for economics. A standards grid follows the lessons. "The Sports Page" section discusses baseball, basketball, football, and hockey.
