David Rosenberg – författare

Införandet av legitimation för hälso- och sjukvårdskuratorn har ytterligare aktualiserat behovet av kunskapsutveckling om socialt arbete i hälso- och sjukvård. Kunskap och utbildning är ett viktigt inslag i socionomers individuella professionalisering.Perspektiv på hälso- och sjukvårdskuratorns mångfacetterade arbete ger en aktuell bild av arbetets innehåll och karaktär och en fördjupad teoretisk ram för det sociala arbetet i hälso- och sjukvård som vidgar förståelsen för yrkets utmaningar och för hur dessa kan hanteras. Kuratorn befinner sig många gånger i en skärningspunkt mellan olika intressen och röster. I boken beskrivs och förespråkas en bred kunskapsbas som spänner över institutionella, organisatoriska, juridiska, kulturella och relationella aspekter av det sociala arbetet i hälso- och sjukvård. Vidare beskrivs det komplexa sambandet mellan hälsa/ohälsa och det sociala sammanhanget. Boken är därför ett stöd till hälso- och sjukvårdskuratorn i att inhämta kunskap som stärker det professionella självförtroendet och förmågan att hantera arbetets utmaningar. Boken vänder sig huvudsakligen till studenter på avancerad nivå som läser den legitimationsgrundande hälso- och sjukvårdskurators­utbildningen samt yrkesverksamma hälso- och sjukvårdskuratorer, men kan med fördel också användas inom socionomprogrammet och professionsutbildningar inom vård och omsorg.

Det offentliga stödsystemet för personer med psykisk funktionsnedsättning är i dag huvudsakligen ett samhällsbaserat servicesystem med tyngdpunkt på öppna vård- och stödformer. Det finns dock brister i systemets förmåga att möta behoven hos dessa personer, liksom det finns övergripande brister i deras situation i samhället som helhet. Trots omfattande reformer kännetecknas fortfarande situationen för målgruppen av utsatthet i form av diskriminering och andra former av stigmatisering samt ekonomisk och social marginalisering. Till detta kommer upplevelser av bristande inflytande över den egna vård- och stödsituationen.Trots svårigheter att leva upp till välfärdsreformernas målsättningar och att implementera evidensbaserade och effektiva insatser på området, finns ändå anledning till optimism. Det här är den tredje reviderade upplagan av boken, där aktuell forskning om livssituationen för personer med psykisk funktionsnedsättning samt kunskap om effektiva vård- och stödinsatser presenteras. Här redovisas en mängd olika interventioner och stödformer som visar att det finns effektiva sätt att förändra situationen.Att leva med psykisk funktionsnedsättning vänder sig till studerande inom sociala eller vårdinriktade högskoleutbildningar, men också till personer inom verksamheter som i arbetet möter personer med psykisk funktionsnedsättning.

The internationally distinguished scientists contributing to this volume approach the subject from an ecological rather than taxonomic standpoint and present the basic biology of insects associated with streams, ponds, lakes, and marine habitats.

This book fulfils an urgent need for an updated text on pediatric psychopharmacology. It takes a unique approach in discussing recent findings within the context of current issues, including economic and political ones. The book covers the emerging question of treating children who do not yet meet diagnostic criteria for psychosis, e.g, schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, but who are deemed to be at high risk. This is an active area of debate: such children are being treated in certain centers, while others reject this completely. The book addresses the antidepressant controversy, the placebo response and unique strategies for delineating this, and ways to optimize the differential between active medication and placebo. It reviews the impact of recent American Heart Association guidelines for monitoring children on stimulants and other psychotropics. It adheres closely to DSM-IV diagnostic criteria throughout. The book describes the use of newly approved drugs such as Lexapro for treating adolescent depression and the novel compound Intuniv. It covers the TADS and CAMS studies, which evaluated the use of SSRIs alone and in combination with cognitive behavioral therapy for adolescent depression. Other topics include treatment of bipolar disorders, the increasing popularity of generic equivalents, combination pharmacotherapy and the potential dangers of psychotropic medications. Third edition of the first ever book published on pediatric psychopharmacology from renowned editors.Incorporates current developments with regard to SSRIs, their indications and their safety issues, including possible associated suicidal behavior.Addresses concerns about cardiovascular side effects of the new stimulant medications available, and compares to other FDA-approved medications for ADHD.Features many tables, figures and pictorials, making it highly accessible and reader friendly.

As stock markets gyrate, Europe lurches from crisis to crisis, and recovery in the United States slows, the future of the North American economy is more uncertain than ever. Can individual entrepreneurship, corporate innovation, and governments create a new era of sustained economic growth? Or, will the ongoing financial crisis, political dysfunction in the United States, and the rise of emerging nations erode living standards in North America for the long term? In this edition of the Munk Debates -- Canada's premier international debate series -- Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman and Chief Economist and Strategist at Gluskin Sheff + Associates David Rosenberg square off against former director of President Obama’s National Economic Council Lawrence Summers and bestselling author Ian Bremmer to tackle the resolution: Be it resolved North America faces a Japan-style era of high unemployment and slow growth.

In 1990, the international bestseller, The Book of J (1990), co-authored by David Rosenberg and Harold Bloom (Grove; Faber in the U.K.) was followed by several books of poetry and prose (A Poet's Bible is the first biblical translation to win a major literary award), and then, in 2013, A Life in a Poem began as a Guggenheim Fellowship project. Now, in this trailblazing narrative about where we are going as a species, Rosenberg shows us how he became a writer both ancient and contemporary. The crucial Jewish poet of his time, rooted in the Hebrew of the Bible and the existential sublime of the New York School, Rosenberg has been read so far, by Jews and non-Jews, mainly for his experimental vision. Donald Hall described him as "an ancient Hebrew biblical poet as if writing today in the rhythms of the United States". Among critics, Harold Bloom states that "the play of languages emerges in Rosenberg as it does not in King James," while Frank Kermode wrote in the New York Times Book Review, "he must somehow be modern as well as faithful to the past, reproducing an ancient, strange, uncanny vigor, bearing in mind American poetry's struggle with natural speech". More recently, Adam Kirsch writes that Rosenberg is "replacing the doubtful miracle of divine inspiration with the genuine miracle of poetic inspiration", and Oxford's John Barton describes his work in the New York Review of Books as "neither epic nor romance nor tragedy nor comedy yet all these at once". These words may now apply as well to Rosenberg's innovative new memoir, A Life in a Poem.

The first monograph on Kata Legrady’s works presenting a collection of drawings, photographs, sculptures and video-installations. Kata Legrady (Hungary 1974) belongs to that long line of artists for whom an object offers the stimulus for artistic thought. Her approach takes the form of a symbolic encounter between weapons of war and confectionery. The Smarties are used to decorate weapons so that in her hands machine guns, grenades and knives become strange and colourful, almost beautiful and appealing. The series Bombs and Candies began in 2008 and forms a corpus of great formal and conceptual coherence. At first sight there is no precise message, no hidden aspect. We are not dealing with complex and stratified arrangements of images or objects but with restrained, frontal and simplified compositions. They are carriers that, as Jeff Koons put it so well, are there “to stimulate and activate the viewer’s mental and physical state”.

This volume is dedicated to the international artist Kata Legrady’s graphic work, through a selection of drawings, sketches and preparatory studies published on the occasion of the exhibition at Fondazione Mudima in Milan. Through the graphic work gathered in this volume, we discover her creative praxis which, according to Arturo Schwarz, “is determined, to a great extent, by her unconscious; the work has a playful dimension; she observes the world with a gaze that has conserved the innocence, curiosity and inventiveness of childhood”. Finally, an essay by Bazon Brock brings a deep insight on the importance of drawing in the practice of contemporary art.

Kata Legrady (Hungary 1974) belongs to that long line of artists for whom an object offers the stimulus for artistic thought. Her approach takes the form of a symbolic encounter between objects associated with childhood with those associated with violence. In her work, an artillery shell, a bomb, a pistol, a Kalashnikov can be transformed from devices of death to works of art. The book gathers the work exhibited at Mudima foundation of the artist from the Guns and Candies of 2008, to the Gasmasks of 2009, Little Boy in 2009 and 2010, and the more recent works, from 2011: Mickey, Pearl Harbor; Government Balançoir; CatWoman; Cheval à Bascule, all the way to the Disney series.
