Siblings
by Jane Johnson Anne Van RensselaerGrowing up with a sibling on the autistic spectrum can be difficult, and the needs of a child with autism often overwhelm a family, leaving neurotypical children feeling overshadowed. For the first time, the 'neurotypical' siblings get to have their say. They recount the good, the bad, and the downright annoying in a way that all young people in a similar situation will immediately recognise. Young siblings of all ages candidly recount how being 'the neurotypical one' can be tiring, frustrating, and lonely, but equally rewarding, and every story is injected with wisdom gained by young people who often have to grow up a lot more quickly than their peers. This book is essential reading for children and teenagers with a sibling on the autistic spectrum, and for parents wishing to understand how autism in the family will affect their neurotypical child.
Siblings and Autism
by Bruce Mills Debra CumberlandWhat is it like to grow up with a sibling on the autism spectrum? What kind of relationship do such siblings have? How does that relationship change as the siblings get older? In this moving collection of beautifully-written personal accounts, siblings from a variety of backgrounds, and in different circumstances, share their experiences of growing up with a brother or sister with autism. Despite their many differences, their stories show that certain things are common to the "sibling experience": the emotional terrain of looking on or being overlooked; the confusion of accommodating resentment, love, and helplessness; and the yearning to connect across neurological difference. Siblings and Autism is a thought-provoking book that will appeal to anyone with a personal or professional interest in autism, including parents of siblings of children on the spectrum, teachers, counsellors, and psychologists.

Siblings in Development: A Psychoanalytic View
by Vivienne Lewin Belinda SharpSiblings play an integral and essential part in our psychic development. Traditionally in psychoanalytic thinking, sibling relationships are regarded as secondary in developmental importance to the relationships with the parents. The authors in this book challenge this view and explore the impact of sibling relationships on internal psychic structures, family and social relationships. They suggest that siblings play a primary part in psychic development, even for an only child, and that infants are born with an expectation of siblings, an innate pre-conception similar to those relating to the breast and parental couple. Through infant observations and psychoanalytic treatment, the authors in this book examine sibling relationships from the most profoundly close, as in conjoined twins, through other twin and sibling relationships and deliberate on the wider context of social and tribal brotherhood and sisterhood.
Siblings in the Unconscious and Psychopathology: Womb Fantasies, Claustrophobias, Fear of Pregnancy, Murderous Rage, Animal Symbolism, Christmas and Easter "Neuroses", and Twinnings or Identifications with Sisters and Brothers
by Vamik D. Volkan Gabriele AstThis book examines adults' identifications and internal relationships with their siblings' mental representations. The authors believe that the best way to illustrate clinical formulations and psychoanalytic theoretical concepts is to provide detailed clinical data. The influence of childhood sibling experiences and associated unconscious fantasies, in their own right, in adults' personality characteristics, behaviour patterns, and symptoms are presented from seventeen case reports. Clinicians who have patients with fear of pregnancy, claustrophobia, incestuous fantasies, extreme dependency on or murderous rage against siblings, guilt due to the death of a sister or brother in childhood, replacement child syndrome, history of adoption, certain types of animal phobias and related issues will find this volume most helpful. The authors have made a rare, but needed, psychoanalytic contribution that examines mental representations of sisters and brothers in our daily lives.

Sicher anlegen statt sparen: Vermögen aufbauen und mehrfach verdoppeln
by Werner StubenrauchDer Zinseszinseffekt, das „Grundgesetz der Geldvermehrung“, wird in seiner Wirkung enorm unterschätzt. Vielen Geldanlegern ist nicht bekannt, dass sich damit eine regelmäßige Verdopplung der Ersparnisse erreichen lässt. Auf diese Weise kann man eine solide private Altersvorsorge oder ein Vermögen aufbauen, auch in Zeiten von Inflation und Rezession. Entscheidend ist die Wahl geeigneter Geldanlagen. Längst nicht alles, was Banken und Versicherungen anbieten, ist sicher und ertragreich. Viele Angebote eignen sich nur zum kurzfristigen „Geldparken“, andere sind so hochspekulativ, dass solide denkende Anleger sie meiden sollten. Der Autor weist in diesem Buch den Weg durch den Dschungel der zahlreichen Angebote von Finanzinstituten. Anhand von Beispielen rechnet er nach und vergleicht, welche Produkte empfehlenswert sind; dabei berücksichtigt er auch Steuern und Inflation. Besonders lohnend sind gemanagte Aktienfonds. Holen Sie das Maximum aus Ihrem Geld heraus, indem Sieden Zusammenhang von Zeit, Zinshöhe, Zinzeszins und langfristigem, sicherem Ertrag verstehen und nutzen.

Sickness in Health: Bullying in Nursing and other Health Professions
by Brenda HappellThis book informs students and practitioners of the health professions about workplace bullying and how to recognise it. The health professions have among the highest rates of bullying of any occupational group. This book shines a light on bullying and its very real human consequences for health professionals. Statistics about bullying in health present a disturbing picture. However, they don't convey the human impact on people who only want to do good for others. The author begins by telling how her experiences spurred her to write this book and then introduces the champions, twelve health professionals who contributed their stories. The book starts with the champions' decision to become a health professional, and then describes their bullying experiences, the impact on almost every aspect of their lives and careers, and how they tried to resolve or deal with the bullying. Some were still dealing with bullying, and all felt they had been forever changed by their experiences.The stories show that bullying is much more than the actions of a few, it is deeply embedded in the culture of institutions responsible for providing quality health care. Better preparation for leadership positions and independent processes for reporting unacceptable behaviours and actions are two suggestions for tackling bullying and its consequences. This book shows the necessity to expose these appalling behaviours and their human costs in order to address workplace bullying and create a healthy and safe environment for everyone in healthcare. This volume is aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students, and practitioners of nursing and other health professions, the general public and other stakeholders of health services. It will enhance their understanding of, ability to recognise, and strategies to cope with, workplace bullying.
Siddhartha's Brain: The Science of Meditation, Mindfulness and Enlightenment
by James KingslandWINNER OF THE GOLD PRIZE FOR RELIGION / SPIRITUALITY OF EASTERN THOUGHT AT THE 2016 NAUTILUS BOOK AWARDS.Can meditation and mindfulness exercise make us sharper, smarter, healthier, happier? In Siddhartha's Brain, James Kingsland reveals that a complete scientific theory of how these practices work is now within our grasp and may be the key to treating a wide range of afflictions of the human mind. Some twenty-five centuries ago, an Indian sage called Siddhartha Gautama - the man who would become known as the Buddha - developed a programme for improving mental well-being which has been passed down to us by generations of monks and nuns. Today, secular mindfulness courses are proving their worth for tackling many of the problems associated with the demands of our frenetic, technology-driven modern world.Research has shown that mindfulness can be used to treat stress, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, hypertension and drug addiction, as well as improving concentration, empathy, emotion regulation and the quality of interpersonal relationships. There have even been hints that it could enhance immune function, slow cellular ageing and help keep dementia at bay. Taking us on a journey back to the time of the Buddha to track changes in his brain as he travels the path leading to enlightenment, Siddhartha's Brain explains how meditation and mindfulness transform the human mind.
Siddhartha's Brain: Unlocking the Ancient Science of Enlightenment
by James KingslandGuardian science editor James Kingsland unlocks the ancient science of enlightenment through the journey of Siddhartha—better known as Buddha.In a lush grove on the banks of the Neranjara in northern India—400 years before the birth of Christ, when the foundations of western science and philosophy were being laid by the great minds of Ancient Greece—a prince turned ascetic wanderer sat beneath a fig tree. His name was Siddhartha Gautama, and he was discovering the astonishing capabilities of the human brain and the secrets of mental wellness and spiritual “enlightenment”—the foundation of Buddhism.Framed by the historical journey and teachings of the Buddha, Siddhartha’s Brain shows how meditative and Buddhist practice anticipated the findings of modern neuroscience. Moving from the evolutionary history of the brain to the disorders and neuroses associated with our technology-driven world, James Kingsland explains why the ancient practice of mindfulness has been so beneficial and so important for human beings across time. Far from a New Age fad, the principles of meditation have deep scientific support and have been proven to be effective in combating many contemporary psychiatric disorders. Siddhartha posited that “Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think.” As we are increasingly driven to distraction by competing demands, our ability to focus and control our thoughts has never been more challenged—or more vital.Siddhartha’s Brain offers a cutting-edge, big-picture assessment of meditation and mindfulness: how it works, what it does to our brains, and why meditative practice has never been more important.
Side Effects
by Adam PhillipsPsychoanalysis works by attending to the patient's side effects, "what falls out of his pockets once he starts speaking." Undergoing psychoanalytic therapy is always a leap into the dark—like dedicating our hearts and intellect to a powerful work of literature, it's impossible to know beforehand its ultimate effect and consequences. One must remain open to where the "side effects" will lead.Erudite, eloquent, and enthrallingly observant, Adam Phillips is one of the world's most respected psychoanalysts and a boldly original writer and thinker—and the ideal guide to exploring the provocative connections between psychoanalytic treatment and enduring, transformative literature. His fascinating and thoughtful Side Effects offers a valuable intellectual blueprint for the construction of a life beholden to no ideology other than the fulfillment of personal promise.
Side Effects: How Left-Brain Right-Brain Differences Shape Everyday Behaviour
by Lorin J. EliasUnderstanding how right-brain and left-brain differences influence our habits, thoughts, and actions.Human behaviour is lopsided. When cradling a newborn child, most of us cradle the infant to the left. When posing for a portrait, we tend to put our left cheek forward. When kissing a lover, we usually tilt our head to the right. Why is our behaviour so lopsided and what does this teach us about our brains? How have humans instinctively used this information to make our images more attractive and impactful? Can knowing how left-brain right-brain differences shape our opinions, tendencies, and attitudes help us make better choices in art, architecture, advertising, or even athletics? Side Effects delves into how lateral biases in our brains influence everyday behaviour and how being aware of these biases can be to our advantage.

Sidewalk Oracles: Playing with Signs, Symbols, and Synchronicity in Everyday Life
by Robert MossSynchronicity is when the universe gets personal. Through this book of games and enchanting stories, you’ll learn how to monitor the play of coincidence and the symbolic resonance of incidents in daily life in order to tap into the deeper logic of events, receive extraordinary counsel, and have wonderful fun.

This is a way of real magic, which is the art of bringing gifts from a deeper world into this one. Follow it, and you will put a champagne fizz of enchantment into your everyday life.

Nosso sucesso na vida depende em grande parte desse princípio divino. Neste livro, você aprenderá muito sobre isso e mais.

Sigmund Freud (Key Figures in Counselling and Psychotherapy)
by Mr Michael JacobsPraise for the First Edition: `This is the Second Edition of a book first published in 1992 as part of the Key Figures in Counselling and Psychotherapy series edited by Windy Dryden.

Sigmund Freud Psychoanalysis and Faith: The Letters of Sigmund Freud and Oskar Pfister
by Sigmund Freud Oskar PfisterSigmund Freud Psychoanalysis and Faith: The Letters of Sigmund Freud and Oskar Pfister is a fascinating and illuminating collection of correspondence between two intellectual giants whose perspectives on life, faith, and the human psyche often stood in stark contrast.

Their exchanges offer insights into their respective theories, the development of psychoanalysis, and their shared commitment to understanding and alleviating human suffering.This collection not only reveals the private thoughts and emotions of two remarkable thinkers but also provides a lens into the cultural and intellectual climate of the early 20th century. Their letters touch on topics such as morality, the role of religion in society, and the ethical responsibilities of psychoanalysis, making this book an essential resource for anyone interested in the intersection of psychology, philosophy, and theology.Rich with wit, candor, and mutual admiration, Sigmund Freud Psychoanalysis and Faith is a testament to the power of dialogue and friendship to bridge even the widest of ideological divides. This book will captivate readers interested in the history of psychoanalysis, the psychology of religion, and the timeless quest to reconcile science and faith.
