Tief ist der Brunnen der Vergangenheit: Mythos, Logos und Person
by Gerhard DanzerDie antik griechischen Mythen haben seit Jahrhunderten viele Künstler immer wieder aufs Neue dazu animiert, sie literarisch, bildnerisch, musikalisch oder als Skulpturen darzustellen und zu interpretieren. In Mythen lassen sich jedoch auch anthropologische und tiefenpsychologische Andeutungen und Erkenntnisse aufspüren, deretwegen eine intensivere Beschäftigung mit ihnen lohnt. In den uralten Sagen, Götter- und Heroen-Geschichten begegnen uns existentielle Themen und Probleme, die auch uns Heutige bewegen – vor allem, wenn wir sie mit medizinischen, psychologischen und psychotherapeutischen Fragestellungen verknüpfen.

Tierra ardiente: Una historia de amor en tiempos del éxodo jujeño
by Carlota Del CampoTierra ardiente narra el épico éxodo jujeño. Esta novela recrea la hazaña de cientos de familias que tuvieron que dejarlo todo por sobrevivir. La primera y lograda obra de Carlota del Campo trae a la superficie un suceso fundamental de la historia argentina, hace justicia a su memoria y pone de relieve un momento clave del origen de las guerras de independencia. Juliana de Iriarte anhela escapar de Jujuy para huir de un matrimonio sin amor. El tarijeño Wenceslao de Echazú decide forjar su porvenir más allá de los prósperos negocios familiares. Sin embargo, de un día para otro, las determinaciones tomadas en la lejana capital virreinal por un grupo de porteños cambiarán el rumbo de la historia y de sus vidas. La revolución de Chuquisaca del 25 de mayo de 1809 altera por completo la vida en el Alto Perú y ya nada será igual en el virreinato del Río de la Plata. La orden de Manuel Belgrano de dejar “tierra arrasada” al enemigo godo en su avance persistente hacia el sur arroja a los dos jóvenes a un destino nunca imaginado: Wenceslao se ve compelido a cumplir con la promesa hecha a su querido hermano Rafael mientras Juliana debe sumarse al repliegue del ejército tras quedar abandonada, casi a su merced, en la finca jujeña. Sin elegirlo, el Alto Perú y la Intendencia de Salta del Tucumán se convertirán en campo de batalla entre fidelistas al rey de España y los revolucionarios que luchan por la libertad de los pueblos. Tierra ardiente narra esta épica retirada y recrea, en una novela sin precedentes, la hazaña de cientos de familias que tuvieron que dejarlo todo para sobrevivir.

Tierras de la Hermandad
by Antonio Carlos Mongiardim Gomes SaraivaEste libro es un relato (narrativa) y busca ser una reflexión, sobre realidades y situaciones que el autor observó en un cortísimo periodo de tiempo en el que vivió en una comunidad (luz) en Minas Gerais/Brasil, de valores y prácticas sociales muy diferentes del escenario común. Por tratarse de un enfoque personal, subjetivo y limitado, su contenido es aquello que el observador consiguió registrar, con extractos en los que participa y es parte integrante de rituales, ceremonias y liturgias con un determinado propósito. Por eso, el libro está lejos de trazar caminos, mostrar resoluciones, dar respuestas y mucho menos tiene la pretensión de hallarse encima del bien o del mal. Tierras de la hermandad es también sentimiento, aprensión y angustia, provocación, en un ambiente en el que el autor es constantemente puesto a prueba y conoce otras formas de conocimiento y elevación. Independientemente de las ideas y opiniones de cada uno, en el libro es posible percibir cuanta seriedad y enfoque existe en esas prácticas, al ser realizadas de una forma atenta y teniendo siempre en cuenta la preservación y la valorización de las especies. En Tierras de la Hermandad, el autor pasa por un periodo muy difícil en el que siente la necesidad de encontrar (construir) un eje de vida para poder encontrarse, ya que atraviesa graves problemas familiares que lo limitan y al mismo tiempo lo alientan. Eso hace que su relato oscile entre situaciones de gran tensión, melancolía y frustración, y otros de júbilo, alegría y contemplación ante la vida, a medida que la acción va transcurriendo y caminando hacia su cumbre. Más que una aventura inusitada, de carácter espiritual y religioso, Tierras de la Hermandad es también un granero de personas y comportamientos que interactúan en un ambiente riguroso, difícil, pero religiosamente prometedor.

Ties that Enable: Community Solidarity for People Living with Serious Mental Health Problems
by Teresa L. Scheid S. Megan SmithTies that Enable is written for students, providers, and advocates seeking to understand how best to improve mental health care – be it for themselves, their loved ones, their clients, or for the wider community. The authors integrate their knowledge of mental health care as researchers, teachers, and advocates and rely on the experiences of people living with severe mental health problems to help understand the sources of community solidarity. Communities are the primary source of social solidarity, and given the diversity of communities, solutions to the problems faced by individuals living with severe mental health problems must start with community level initiatives. “Ties that Enable” examines the role of a faith-based community group in providing a sense of place and belonging as well as reinforcing a valued social identity. The authors argue that mental health reform efforts need to move beyond a focus on individual recovery to more complex understandings of the meaning of community care. In addition, mental health care needs to move from a medical model to a social model which sees the roots of mental illness and recovery as lying in society, not the individual. It is our society’s inability to provide inclusive supportive environments which restrict the ability of individuals to recover. This book provides insights into how communities and system level reforms can promote justice and the higher ideals we aspire to as a society.
