Examines various industries to show how business endows products with evocative meaning. Kramer was one of the most visionary musical thinkers of the second half of the 20th century. In his The Time of Music, he approached the idea of the many different ways that time itself is articulated musically. This book has become influential among composers, theorists, and aestheticians. Now, in his almost completed text written before his untimely death in 2004, he examines the concept of postmodernism in music. Kramer created a series of markers by which we can identify postmodern works. He suggests that the postmodern project actually creates a radically different relationship between the composer and listener. Written with wit, precision, and at times playfully subverting traditional tropes to make a very serious point about this difference, Postmodern Music, Postmodern Listening leads us to a strongly grounded intellectual basis for stylistic description and an intuitive sensibility of what postmodernism in music entails. Postmodern Music, Postmodern Listening is an examination of how musical postmodernism is not just a style or movement, but a fundamental shift in the relationship between composer and listener. The result is a multifaceted and provocative look at a critical turning point in music history, one whose implications we are only just beginning to understand. A timely essay collection on the development and influence of secular expressions of Buddhism in the West and beyond. How do secular values impact Buddhism in the modern world? What versions of Buddhism are being transmitted to the West? Is it possible to know whether an interpretation of the Buddha’s words is correct? In this new essay collection, opposing ideas that often define Buddhist communities—secular versus religious, modern versus traditional, Western versus Eastern—are unpacked and critically examined. These reflections by contemporary scholars and practitioners reveal the dynamic process of reinterpreting and reimagining Buddhism in secular contexts, from the mindfulness movement to Buddhist shrine displays in museums, to whether rebirth is an essential belief. This collection explores a wide range of modern understandings of Buddhism—whether it is considered a religion, philosophy, or lifestyle choice—and questions if secular Buddhism is purely a Western invention, offering a timely contribution to an ever-evolving discussion. Contributors include Bhikkhu Bodhi, Kate Crosby, Gil Fronsdal, Kathleen Gregory, Funie Hsu, Roger R. Jackson, Charles B. Jones, David L. McMahan, Richard K. Payne, Ron Purser, Sarah Shaw, Philippe Turenne, and Pamela D. Winfield. `I judge this book to be something of a triumph. It provides many valuable insights into how social psychologists work within different paradigms and with quite different assumptions.... Throughout, the writing is clear, central issues are constantly reexamined, and sight is never lost of the whole \"task\" of the book... it addresses central issues both adventurously and provocatively. Students who use it are lucky to have such a feast provided, and they are bound to find the material both challenging and stimulating... there is much more about self issues in this text than in any comparable social psychology text. And that, in itself, is a major achievement' Self & Society This accessible, broad-based and a

The Psychology of Religion and Coping: Theory, Research, Practice

SPIRITUALLY INTEGRATED PSYCHOTHERAPY UNDERSTANDING AND ADDRESSING THE SACRED. Kenneth Pargament, New York: Guilford, 2007. Pp. 384, Pb, $38.00. Kenneth Pargament begins this work by giving a brief rational for spiritually integrated psychotherapy. The rationale includes the importance of spirituality among many along with the desire to have this dimension included in the therapeutic relationship. Despite these preferences along with research linking healthy spirituality with greater health and a sense of well-being, however, many psychologists leave spirituality out of the conversation, whether due to feelings of uneasiness or lack of preparation from their schooling, which may cause them to be less than effective during treatment. This disconnect, Pargament argues, must be addressed. Part two begins by framing the spiritually integrated approach as one that can be used with a broad authence, including clients and therapists from "diverse religious and non-religious backgrounds" (p. 21). With this in mind Pargament defines spirituality as "the search for the sacred" (p. 32). This discussion is followed by a description of several sacred dimensions and qualities we, as humans, share (e.g., the search for significance, intimacy, etc.), ways individuals hold on to the sacred (e.g., prayer, ritual, relationships etc.), and how spiritual coping mechanisms may help in times of stress. While mainly outlining positive mechanisms Pargament clearly points out how spirituality can become misdirected for some people. This type of dis-integrated spirituality (e.g., lack of scope depth, inflexibility, misdirection etc.) can include the use of 'small gods' (gods limited in some way) and/or 'false gods' (idolatry), by clients, often with unpleasant end results. For those who make it through their spiritual struggles successfully, Pargament contends, a spiritual transformation (e.g., letting go, new purpose, centering of the sacred etc.) often takes place that leads to a well-integrated spirituality (e.g., openness to differences, willingness to engage in spiritual dialogue, sincere desire to share spiritual experiences). Part three, the largest section of the book, explores how to address the sacred as part of clinical practice. Pargament begins by clearly defining what spiritually integrated psychotherapy is: "an approach to treatment that acknowledges and addresses the spirituality of the client, the spirituality of the therapist, and the process of change" (p. 176); he also encourages timid practitioners not to be rejectionists of this aspect but rather gain knowledge, tolerance, and selfawareness which leads to greater authenticity regarding this topic. From here the author outlines various integration techniques, which can be used in a clinical context. Beginning with implicit assessment, (e.g., judicious self-disclosure, openness to discussions of spirituality etc.), the therapist desires to move the process to one where spirituality is expressed more explicitly (e. …

Anorexia nervosa e transmissão psíquica transgeracional

The scope of this qualitative study was to understand the experience of the couple who lost a child stricken by cancer,focusing on the impact of death on the marital relationship. The methodological strategy used in this paper was the case study, seeking to describe the process of elaboration of mourning and the impact of the son's death on the parents' marital relationship. The couple who participated in the study had been together for 39 years and had lost their youngest son three years earlier. The spouses were interviewed individually and then together. Semi-structured interview scripts were used for this purpose. It was established that the religious community to which the couple belongs has been the main source of support in dealing with the mourning process, although its precepts may prevent the free expression of their suffering, particularly in the wife's case. Although the couple has remained together, the marital relationship was shaken after their son's death. The couple had difficulty in talking about their marriage, though the wife pointed to the absence of their son as one of the reasons for the change in their marital relationship. The marital relationship and religiosity/spirituality emerged as important dimensions to be addressed by health staff in attending bereaved families.

Scientific literature points out that married people tend to be happier than non-married people. The objective of this present study was to investigate the relationship between life satisfaction and dyadic satisfaction among married people. 106 married people (53 couples), with an average age of 42 (sd=11), participated in the study. The following instruments were used: demographic identification and social classification; Subjective Well-being Scale; and Dyadic Adjustment Scale. Correlation analysis and stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that satisfaction with life and dyadic satisfaction are positive and significantly correlated (r=0.20; p=0.04). Based on this finding, the researchers have concluded that people who are generally satisfied with life are also satisfied in the conjugal relationship.

Este estudo teve como objetivo compreender a construcao de si mesmo a partir do discurso de pessoas diagnosticadas com anorexia e bulimia, participantes de um grupo de apoio psicologico. Participaram 14 jovens atendidas em um servico publico de saude de um hospital universitario. A partir do referencial historico-cultural bakhtiniano, analisaram-se qualitativamente as transcricoes audiogravadas de 10 sessoes consecutivas do grupo. Constatou-se que os discursos produzidos socialmente sobre os transtornos alimentares sao evocados nas falas das participantes e encontram no grupo um espaco para que possam ser contestados, negociados ou aceitos, promovendo a desconstrucao de mitos erigidos em torno da enfermidade. A analise empreendida aponta o grupo como uma ferramenta terapeutica significativa para a producao de novos sentidos, nao patologizantes com relacao aos transtornos alimentares e seus portadores.
