Recovery Beyond Psychiatry
ISBN: 9781853439230 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. David Whitwell's thesis is that it is not conventional psychiatric treatment that is key to recovery, but non-specific aspects of care such as support, safety, general health, good relationships. The author's conclusion is that recovery should be adopted as the goal of mental health services. Treatment then becomes just one option that can be used in certain situations. For example, acute psychiatry becomes a particular set of procedures for dealing with essentially urgent and dangerous situations-as a special kind of first aid which needs to be fitted into the individual's long-term recovery...

ISBN: 9781936512416 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Francois Sudre was a nineteenth-century musician who invented something long dreamed of by philosophers: a language based on music. For several decades he successfully demonstrated his new musical language throughout Europe to astonished audiences. No one ever reported a case where this system failed to communicate a desired text, regardless of the original language. On the other hand, no one else could duplicate his accomplishment and so the new musical language failed to take root. There was one remarkable result, however, for Sudre's system was clearly the seed which, in Wagner, blossomed...

Ancient Views on Music and Religion
ISBN: 9781936512720 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych.

By the later Middle Ages public demand and the rediscovery of the books of the ancient philosophers caused the Church to reform its views. The public wisdom and the true nature of music found a perfect marriage in the writings of...
