Weshalb kommt in den Werken von Malerinnen der nackte Korper auffallend seltener vor als in denen von mannlichen Kunstlern? Dieser Frage wird in einer tiefenpsychologischen Untersuchung nachgegangen, die durch einen kunsthistorischen Abriss der Aktkunst von der Antike bis zur Moderne eingeleitet wird. Die geschlechtsspezifische Sozialisation der Frau und deren Auswirkungen auf die Kreativitat wird anhand psychoanalytischer Theorien beschrieben, wobei die praodipale Phase besonders berucksichtigt wird.

Kognitive Werkzeuge wie die Mappingverfahren sollen Lernende in multimedialen Lernumgebungen unterstutzen.

As we grow up and grow old, embrace new experiences, try new roles, and adopt new technologies, our senses of time, space, connection, and identity are fundamentally explored through communication. Why, how, with whom, and to what end humans communicate reflect and shape our ever-changing life span position. And while the life span can be conceived as a continuum, it is also one hinged by critical junctures and bound by cultural differences that can be better understood through communication.
The chapters in this collection, chosen from among the invited plenary speakers, top research...

As we grow up and grow old, embrace new experiences, try new roles, and adopt new technologies, our senses of time, space, connection, and identity are fundamentally explored through communication. Why, how, with whom, and to what end humans communicate reflect and shape our ever-changing life span position.

Strange Adventures examines portrayals of womanhood in the works of prize-winning French author Pierrette Fleutiaux. Fleutiaux s refreshing pictures of womanhood offer insights into how women can become more whole, substantial and free in themselves and in their relationships, as well as how they can contribute to the external world through their creativity and leadership. The study demonstrates how Fleutiaux s heroines navigate the external, bodily and inner situations of adolescence, early adult life, marriage, motherhood, maturity, leadership and death, in the process developing...

In 2012, Jerry Pinto published his debut novel, Em and the Big Hoom, which drew upon his experience of living with a mother who was bipolar.

Some of these readers shared their stories with him, and agreed to share them with the world. A Book of Light collects these harrowing yet moving, even empowering, stories-about the terror and majesty of love; the bleakness and unexpected grace of life; the fragility and immense strength of the human mind.

The main idea of the book is to help individuals establish a sense of who they really are by answering a few questions that only they can answer.

The most important detail is that of understanding who one really is, and what one really believes in.

Lastly, the hope is that the book will help us become better communicators within our own personal lives, and with those outside of our circle of influence.

Have you ever thought about having cosmetic surgery? It is a very personal choice. Over 15 years ago, at age 16, I had cosmetic surgery on my face--a nose reduction and chin implant.

As the stigma against cosmetic surgery changes, more and more people are having procedures--1.7 million cosmetic surgeries in the U.S. in 2015 alone--but a lot of people are still keeping quiet about it.

I believe it is time for safe and authentic conversations about cosmetic surgery....
