Integrating Shadow: Authentic Being in the World
by Ann CasementSince its inception, the notion of shadow is recognised as one of Jung's major contributions to the world of psychology. Shadow traits are often unconsciously felt to be threats to our self-image, so we use defence mechanisms, such as repression and denial, to dismiss its existence and place it on to others, either in the personal or collective sphere. Although there exists considerable overlap between the strands, dividing the shadow into three constituent parts, personal, collective, and archetypal, helps to fully explore its impact on the world. The personal shadow is usually viewed as the base, inferior part of personality, although it can also include positive aspects, but it needs to be acknowledged and incorporated to make an individual whole. The collective shadow is found in many dark periods of history: witch hunt trials, religious wars, the Holocaust, and Rwandan genocide to name but a few; in today's world, it is spread at the speed of light by mass media. The archetypal shadow emanates from the realm of the collective unconscious and may be equated with evil. Alongside shadow is the inextricably linked concept of persona, the outer face that is presented to the world, which is also explored in detail, as well as the role of the shadow in the act of scapegoating and within the professional sphere, and Jung's links to the social sciences, in particular anthropology and sociology. Shadow is a theme that Ann Casement returned to many times in her decades-long career, always finding new ways to explore and explain it. Integrating Shadow: Authentic Being in the World brings together these many years of presentations and research to present a multi-layered and rich discourse on the meaning, importance, and consequences of the shadow in all our lives.
Integrative Person-Centred Counselling: The Combined Model of Counselling and Psychotherapy
by Rick MurphyA book for counsellors, psychotherapists, and psychologists that combines the most influential schools of therapy into a single person-centred model Most counselling and psychotherapy books present therapy models as separate and disconnected theories and practices.

Integrative Sport and Exercise Nutrition: A Health-Feeds-Performance Perspective
by Justin Roberts Ian CraigIntegrative Sport and Exercise Nutrition: A Health-Feeds-Performance Perspective defines health as an underpinning requirement for active pursuit and sporting performance. By focusing on the empowerment of scientists and practitioners who support such individuals, this new textbook powerfully disseminates academic and experiential knowledge in a thoroughly applied context. The prevailing paradigm that has existed within the academic enquiry of sports nutrition has typically viewed macronutrients as ‘fuel’ for exercise endeavours. While this notion provides a basis of quantitative nutritional support, what happens when our active individual lacks adequate digestive health to assimilate these foods, and in the process creates an inflammatory tone in their body? And what happens when our aspiring athlete is genetically not suited to the diet that is prescribed by the sports nutritionist, which is based merely on the energetic needs of their sport?The underlying aim of Integrative Sport and Exercise Nutrition is to encourage sport, exercise and nutrition professionals, academics and students to embrace the physiological complexity and individuality of an exercising person. This approach highlights the need to go beyond traditional macronutrient approaches dominant in this field, and consider how our food impacts physiological health from an integrative body systems perspective. Within the context of heavy training loads, often alongside significant life stressors, such practitioners can support the robust health and performance requirements of active individuals. This cutting-edge book thereby brings together the scientific voice of academics with the ‘real-world’ experience of nutrition and exercise practitioners, and by doing so, the authors wish to stimulate a new paradigm of thought towards integrative and personalised thinking in sport and exercise.

Intercultural Preparation in Higher Education (New Perspectives on Teaching Interculturality)
by Ning ChenIntercultural Preparation in Higher Education critically examines the complexities of intercultural preparation, challenging reductionist, competence-based approaches and emphasising critical reflection, linguistic sensitivity and intersectional perspectives, which offer transformative insight.This concise yet comprehensive book draws on the author's extensive experience in preparing students and educators for diversity and intercultural engagement within Chinese and Finnish higher education – two distinct yet interconnected settings. Chen advocates for reflexive, context-sensitive frameworks that address power dynamics, ideological influences and epistemic inequalities shaping intercultural encounters. Synthesising global and Chinese research, the author deconstructs interculturality as an ideological construct and proposes expanding it to encompass diverse diversities. Through case studies of Chinese Minzu education, Finnish teacher training and China's mental health and well-being education, the author explores how to equip educators and students for glocalised (global + local) realities. The book argues that mental health education in China, for instance, can redefine interculturality beyond 'international' or 'ethnic' binaries. By interrogating dominant paradigms and proposing equitable alternatives, the author advances a balanced and inclusive vision of preparation for all in higher education and beyond.The title is designed for educators, researchers, students and practitioners interested in intercultural studies, higher education, as well as internationalisation and globalisation.

Interludes of Peace in the Medieval Latin East: Perceptions and Practices
by Yvonne FriedmanInterludes of Peace in the Medieval Latin East undertakes a multifaceted examination of peacemaking processes as they unfolded in the medieval Latin East. Perhaps less heroic than war, these peacemaking endeavors make a significant contribution to our understanding of life in the medieval Middle East during the Crusades.This book considers how ceasefires, truces, and peace treaties were achieved through a process of mutual acculturation between Crusaders and local Muslim societies and the mechanisms employed to overcome both cultural and religious divides. Notwithstanding these warring societies’ differing concepts of lasting peace, this did not prevent them from engaging in treaty-making during the twocentury-long conflict in the Latin East.The story told here is of the quest for “small,” realistic peace, however fragile and temporary. In the process, a shared language of gestures, body language, and gift-giving was created that enabled and enhanced trust and coexistence. However, global political changes, economic developments, and new trade routes ultimately ended European rule in the medieval Middle East.
