This book is grounded in the belief that every nation had its own ‘Great War’, and that children’s picture books are an important barometer of each country’s national approach. To explore the depiction of the Great War in modern Australian, British, and French children’s picture books, where this historical event is reimagined in different ways as a futile conflict, as a painful victory, and as part of one country’s founding mythology, this book uses the concept of the hero’s journey as an underlying framework. It claims that this monomythic pattern, as developed by Joseph Campbell and modified by Christopher Vogler, not only informs all picture books selected for this project but can also be used to highlight the extent to which modern children’s picture book authors and illustrators conform to their respective nation’s cultural memory. It further maintains that the specific historical context of the Great War in these children’s picture books can be used to identify a variant of the hero’s journey: the ‘ordinary soldier’s journey’. This analysis of children’s picture books about the Great War through the lens of Campbell’s hero’s journey will be of interest to both students and researchers in the fields of children’s literature, literary theory, history, cultural studies, and education.

Bringing together interdisciplinary perspectives from sociology, education, and human geography to investigate the space, community, and culture at an International Branch Campus, this fascinating book provides empirical evidence to understand the implications for students’ future socio-spatial mobilities. Drawing on ethnographic data from a British International Branch Campus in China this book offers a timely discussion about transnational higher education. It illustrates the mobility of the educational space, where mobilities and materiality converge and are mediated by transnational imaginations. Students are portrayed as ‘imaginative travellers’, who may not have been physically abroad but are imaginatively mobilised by transnational material, social and cultural flows on campus. This book demonstrates how imaginative mobility cultivates students’ cosmopolitan orientations and competence, while acknowledging how structural constraints weave unevenness into the imaginative flows that arise and respond to the socio-spatial inequalities in global education landscapes. This study also offers empirical insights into China’s approach to transnational education that informs both research and policy. This book is valuable reading for scholars, students, researchers and practitioners in higher education, particularly for those with an interest in educational studies, sociology, and human geography.

Group Therapy for Complex Trauma provides a roadmap for professionals trying to address the many issues that arise in group treatment. It’s an excellent training resource for mental health professionals working in institutions that provide higher levels of acute care, including inpatient, partial hospitalization, and/or intensive outpatient programs, as well as those running groups in traditional outpatient settings. Chapters pull the most recent theory and practice into one concise resource, addressing not only how to treat complex trauma but also why doing so matters. They also provide guidance for troubleshooting situations that often arise around when conducting groups with a population that is often highly dysregulated. The second section includes exercises, and handouts that can be reproduced and shared with participants, enabling them to follow along during the group session and to complete exercises and review material in their own time.

This book offers comprehensive coverage of China’s military history from the Qing dynasty (1644–1912) to present. China has become one of the great world powers of the twenty-first century. As a result, Chinese leaders and observers outside of China alike seek to explain China’s strategic thought and action. In doing so, they routinely refer to China’s military history. This volume examines this history, beginning with the Qing dynasty’s era of imperial expansion and subsequent decline, continuing with the wars against foreign aggression and internal uprisings of the nineteenth century, the revolutionary overthrow of the Qing in 1911 and seemingly constant wars of the first half of the twentieth century, and concluding with the Chinese Communist Party’s use of military power from 1950 to present. This history is generally presented as a narrative of imperial greatness followed by a century of national humiliation followed by a recovery of national wealth and power under Communist Party leadership. While acknowledging this narrative, Harold Tanner digs deeper to reveal a fundamental continuity of interests underlying Chinese strategic thinking from the Qing to the present while also showing how the theory and practice of war in China changed over time as Chinese political and military leaders wrestled with tremendous challenges, drawing on foreign sources as well as their own cultural heritage to seek new solutions. Both engaging and timely, War in Modern China: A Military History is essential reading for students, scholars, and enthusiasts of Chinese and global military history.

In this book, Mary Morgan provides a comprehensive understanding of couple relations. Taking a psychoanalytic perspective, Morgan explores some of the fundamental tensions in being part of a couple: between being an individual and a couple, relating, non-relating, and the narcissistic problem in tolerating the otherness and alienness of one’s partner. She guides the reader through managing feelings of both separateness and intimacy, issues around sex and sexuality, the tension between love and hate, and the importance of curiosity. She also elucidates key discoveries of unconscious processes in a couple relationship made by couple psychoanalysts, including unconscious choice of partner, the couple projective system, shared unconscious phantasy and beliefs, unconscious alliances, the couple’s own transference relationship and how the real "presence" of an other is seen as an "interference" acting on the preconceptions of the other subject. Through Morgan’s accessible and holistic approach, drawing on decades of clinical experience, this book is an essential resource for all psychoanalytic and psychodynamic psychotherapists, counsellors working with couples, and researchers and students in Gender Studies, social sciences, psychology and the humanities.

Psychological and psychotherapeutic orientations often neglect the notion that the individual is not one unit, but rather a coalition of affects. Providing a multidisciplinary framework for the practice of psychotherapy and philosophy, this book explores and embraces this multiplicity within the human psyche and challenges the reader to explore and celebrate difference within society. Chapters reframe the breadth and scope of psychotherapy as an endeavour at the service of both healing and care, while also fostering bold exploration, emphasizing the risk and adventure of being alive. Through clinical studies, first-person accounts, forays into contemporary philosophy, psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, and the arts, this book presents insights that inspire readers to be in the world with courage, compassion, and kindness, with the sense that we do not have to know who we are before becoming active citizens of the world. Bazzano then extends that exploration to the domain of public life by examining contemporary challenges related to climate change, race, gender, ethnicity, and more. This book is an essential read for therapy practitioners and professionals of related disciplines, who want to expand their knowledge and find different ways to understand and practise their art.

A Psychoanalysis of Act and Action brings together the study of the philosophy of action and Jacques Lacan’s psychoanalytic theory. Drawing on the works of Freud and Lacan, this book examines desire and the unconscious as key frameworks for understanding action. Londono-Paredes explores key premises in the philosophy of action, while demonstrating how these may fall short in light of Lacan’s ideas. The book proposes an alternative to dominant philosophical interpretations, exploring Lacan’s framework through concepts such as the graph, the act, the transgressive act, acting out, and passage a l’acte. The paradoxes of action, along with forms of action that carry moral and symbolic weight are examined from a psychoanalytic perspective, helping us to understand the interpretive boundaries of action. By intertwining philosophical and psychoanalytic perspectives with clinical illustrations of real crimes, the book offers a fresh approach to action and act. A Psychoanalysis of Act and Action will be essential for psychoanalytically informed readers interested in Lacan. It will also be of interest to academics and scholars of the philosophy of mind and action, cultural studies, criminology, and mental disorders.

The Great Psychology Delusion takes an unflinching look at some of the foundational assumptions of psychological science. Exploring long-standing unanswered critiques of psychological research in a way that is detailed but accessible, the book brings together a wealth of material that challenges our understanding of what the science of psychology really is, and how the subject matter of that science should be conceived. Identifying a Great Delusion (that there is a coherent discipline of psychology with sound foundations), the authors explore a number of more specific delusions regarding scientific practice in psychology. These include the problematic assumptions of core statistical analyses, questionable aspects of frequently used experimental designs and continued frictions regarding the much-aspired-to scientist-practitioner model. The delusions produce the uncomfortable state in which we find much of modern psychological science – theoretically challenged, poorly replicated and with questionable real-world value. This unsentimental examination of the state of things nevertheless allows the authors to identify concrete steps that the scientific community can take to re-ground psychological research and move forward to a successful science studying the richest and most complex phenomena we know of: us. This book will interest all people interested in psychological science, from undergraduate students to researchers.

Drawing from the authors’ experience as former school counselors, their research on school counselor leadership and advocacy, and their professional advocacy work, this book provides insights and strategies to develop school counselors’ leadership skills. This book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on self-reflection and critical consciousness for school counselors. It challenges their understanding of leadership and urges them to critically examine whether their personal definition of leadership aligns with the needs of diverse students and the broader educational context. Chapter topics include leadership and liberation, the limits of traditional leadership theories, leading with emotional intelligence, and the courage to confront systems of oppression. The second part calls the reader toward critical action and engagement in social and political activity and advocacy with the intent to disrupt and change perceived inequalities. Specific topics include developing political skills, addressing resistance to change, and developing collaborative relationships. School counselors will find this book filled with the necessary knowledge and skills to effect change in schools, districts, and the public arena for the benefit of P-12 students, particularly those from historically marginalized populations.

The Knowledge of the Psychoanalyst documents Raul Moncayo’s practice of analysis over a period of twenty-five years. Exploring different aspects of knowledge in the work of Freud and Lacan, Moncayo considers themes including not-knowing as opposed to non-knowing, truth, and ignorance. The book considers unconscious guilt, S1 signifiers, understandings of history as both linear and circular, and the different levels of mind in Mahayana Buddhism and psychoanalysis. The book also presents cases of obsessional neurosis and hysteria in the Lacanian sense. The book concludes with Moncayo’s own interpretation of Lacan’s theory, in the same way that Lacan had his own interpretation of Freud. The Knowledge of the Psychoanalyst will be of great interest to Lacanian analysts in practice and in training, and academics and scholars of Lacanian theory.
