An insightful, provocative collection that will enrich your work with new vitality, meaning, and direction. Offers timely perspectives on the theory and practice of psychotherapy as reflected in the themes of narrative, constructivism, social constructionism, postmodernism, epistemology, developmental constructivism, language, and social discourse.

This volume is the result of a symposium titled "Constructivist Approaches to Atypical Development and Developmental Psychopathology."What emerges from the work included here is a record of innovative extensions, refinements, and applications of the concept of constructivism.The chapters not only demonstrate the compatibility of constructivism with investigations of atypicality, but also the generation of a constructivist perspective for a wide array of problems in developmental psychology.

This volume focuses on the role of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and its analogs in the induced sequestration of lymphocytes in secondary lymphoid organs or in the microenvironment of tissues involved in infection or autoimmune disease. Initial chapters define the pathways to understand S1P signaling. They cover the organization of signaling systems, the structural biology of the S1P1 receptor, and the chemical and genetic tools that are available and useful to explore this area of research and therapeutics. The later chapters highlight S1P and endothelial integrity, lymphocyte migration in the spleen, and S1P agonist in controlling immunopathologic manifestations of acute respiratory influenza virus infection (in the lung), and its accompanying cytokine storm as well as immunopathologic disease of the central nervous system, including the beginning of treatments in multiple sclerosis. One chapter reveals the possible involvement of other lipid molecules, their use for better understanding lipid signaling, and their potential in the modulation of immune responses.
