A film about one man's journey across northern India and his search for enlightenment. Rajive McMullen, a history teacher suffering from a debilitating illness, makes the painful journey into the heart of Tantra, searching for meaning in holy shrines, coming close to death in cremation grounds and enjoying the chaos of the Aghori seekers. The film offers dramatic insight into Tantrik ideas about the life cycle, particularly death, and contributes much to our understanding of how we seek knowledge and how we die. Attempts to understand both the practice and illusive theory behind Indian Tantrism, and is intended to challenge widespread Western misinterpretations of this system of thought. Visits Kamakhya Devi in Assam and Tarapith in West Bengal, two of the most important centers of Tantrik Hinduism.

This is a revised edition of an important title originally published in 2009. It is written primarily for psychotherapists and other practitioners and describes a new and effective form of dynamic therapy designed for working with adults and with adolescents. The theory, on which the new form of therapy is based, is centred in a paradigm that extends and crucially alters the paradigm for developmental psychology opened by the Bowlby/Ainsworth attachment theory. It describes a pre-programmed process, the dynamics sustaining attachment and interest sharing, which is activated as soon as people perceive that they are in danger. This process is made up of seven pre-programmed systems which interact with one another as an integrated whole. They include Bowlby's two complementary goal-corrected behavioural systems: attachment (also referred to as careseeking) and caregiving. Whenever the process is able to function effectively, it enables people to adapt more constructively and co-operatively to changing circumstances.

Das Buch führt ein in die Grundlagen, Themenvielfalt und Zugänge jugendsoziologischer Forschung. Es diskutiert verschiedene Konzeptionen von Jugend als Lebensphase, als Generation, als Lebenswelt und als soziale Gruppe und stellt ausgewählte theoretische Perspektiven und empirische Studien sowie historische und zeitdiagnostische Befunde vor. Die Palette der behandelten Themen umfasst die Rolle und Bedeutung des Körpers im Prozess des Aufwachsens, die Dynamik und Veränderungen von Jugendkulturen und Lebensstilen wie auch ein Nachdenken über die Funktion sogenannten Risikoverhaltens, wie z.B. erhöhtem Alkoholkonsum oder Selbstverletzendem Verhalten. Darüber hinaus werden grundlegende Unterschiede zwischen Jugendlichen - männlich/weiblich, privilegiert/marginalisiert, deutsch/eingewandert - in den Blick genommen, um das Konstrukt "Jugend" in seinem Facettenreichtum zu veranschaulichen. Das Buch richtet sich an Studierende der Sozialwissenschaften, der Kulturwissenschaften und der Erziehungswissenschaften sowie an MitarbeiterInnen von Presse und Medien.
