This book is a comprehensive introduction to social constructionist ideas and their application within the psychological therapies.

Whether you are a trainee or qualified therapist, this book will support you to think about therapy as a socially constructed and relational process, and to develop as a more culturally, socially and politically aware practitioner. It advocates for ‘therapist activists’ who understand the interplay between the micro and the macro in therapeutic contexts and debunks the idea of the ‘isolated client’ to examine how broader societal conditions create problems for the individual. Chapters are designed to engage, offering a variety of features to support learning, including: - Introductory and concluding chapter summaries - Textboxes summarising content & spotlighting key information - Case studies and vignettes throughout - Reflective questions & thought-provoking exercises - Recommended Further Reading. This book has wide applicability, with author affiliations across both North and South America - the University of New Hampshire in the US and the Federal University of Uberlandia in Brazil.

Das Hauptaugenmerk dieser Untersuchung liegt auf der Bewertung zweier Diskussionen in Bezug auf den vegetarischen Diskurs in der Antike. Als Hauptquelle steht Porphyrios’ De Abstinentia im Vordergrund. Diese Schrift enthält nicht nur ein Plädoyer für die vegetarische Lebensweise, sondern auch eine wertvolle Sammlung von Meinungen verschiedener Philosophen, die sich gegen oder für den Vegetarismus geäußert haben. Zuerst wird das Fragment Gegen die Vegetarier des Klodios aus Neapel bzw. Herakleides Pontikos mit einer textkritischen Edition und Übersetzung präsentiert und diskutiert. Dann werden die intertextuellen Bezüge zwischen diesem und dem Fragment des Theophrast Über die Frömmigkeit analysiert. Zuletzt wird gezeigt, wie Porphyrios die Begriffe Oikeiosis und Philanthropia kritisch rezipiert, und darauf aufbauend eine räumliche Terminologie für seine eigene Ethik entwickelt hat. Anhand der Analyse dieser beiden Diskussionen will dieses Buch zeigen, dass die Diskussion um den Vegetarismus in der Antike vielfältiger und dynamischer war, als bis jetzt angenommen wurde. Interessierte an Tierethik und Menschen-Tier-Verhältnissen, aber auch an neuplatonischer und stoischer Philosophie werden in diesem Buch anregende Anhaltspunkte finden.

What role did the Middle Ages play in the construction of Portuguese national identity in the modern age? Which medieval ideas, themes, objects, buildings, events, and figures contributed to this process? How did Portuguese intellectuals, artists, and politicians from the late-nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth narrate, rework, and commemorate them? These are some of the questions that this book addresses. By examining historiography, heritage intervention, and historical commemorations, it demonstrates the ways by which certain views about the Portuguese Middle Ages were constructed, propagated, and used to serve different political agendas.
