Abstract

This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence. It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations.In The Rules of Rescue, Theron Pummer argues that we are often morally required to engage in effective altruism, directing altruistic efforts in ways that help the most. Even when the personal sacrifice involved makes it morally permissible not to help at all, he contends, it often remains wrong to provide less help rather than more. He argues that the ubiquity of opportunities to help distant strangers threatens to make morality extremely demanding, and that it is only thanks to adequate permissions grounded in considerations of cost and autonomy that we may pursue our own plans and projects. He concludes that many of us are required to provide no less help over our lives than we would have done if we were effective altruists.

Abstract

"À l'origine de ce livre, il y a une expérience analogue, avec des protagonistes différents, mais dans des conditions finalement bien semblables. Sophie de Mijolla-Mellor y évoque le vécu d'une relation de couple lorsque la préoccupation de l'aide nécessaire à l'autre est venue se surimposer et exiger un nouvel engagement. Christelle Evita nous confie ce qu'on n'ose pas se dire, sur les passions et les souffrances de l'adulte qui n'a pas cessé d'être un enfant lorsqu'il doit décider de mettre sa mère en EHPAD. Situations partagées dans des associations d'aidants, mais aussi au détour d'une rencontre et d'échanges sur cet entre-deux qui n'est plus la relation telle qu'elle a été, mais qui s'est approfondie en se resserrant sur l'essentiel humain du lien, et qui ouvre une interrogation nouvelle sur l'autre et sur soi-même."

Abstract

In this book, the author discusses with a view to psychotherapeutic practice how power and the exercise of power can be used in a constructive sense. Spontaneously, people tend to associate the topic of power negatively. They mostly talk about their own powerlessness and the power of "those up there", and very rarely about their own striving for power. It is undisputed that power and the exercise of power, as well as dealing with powerlessness, play an important role in psychotherapy. Nevertheless, the constructive and destructive aspects of power are still too little reflected. Here, there is a mentalization deficit on the part of both psychotherapists and patients. In this book questions are asked and suggestions for practice are developed. Written for psychotherapists, child and adolescent psychotherapists, family therapists, counselors, psychiatrists, physicians, students, and psychotherapists in training. From the contents Is it a bad thing to use power, to exert influence in order to get one's way? Where is the boundary between the constructive exercise of power and destructive "power games"? Do some situations require assertiveness and a certain distance and other situations rather closeness and credibility and persuasiveness? The author Dr. phil. Marie-Luise Althoff, studied mathematics, psychology and education; she is a psychoanalyst, lecturer, supervisor and teaching analyst. This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.

Abstract

Gift-giving is an economically significant area of consumer behavior. For we are constantly buy gifts: for Christmas and Mother’s Day, for birth and baptism, for the start of school and exams, for engagements and weddings, for birthdays or as souvenirs. Moreover, gift-giving is a very important psychological phenomenon, based on voluntariness, but also representing a duty and requiring compliance with rules. Thus, gift giving is by no means always associated with joy, but also with stress in the search for a perfect gift and disappointment when gifts fail. The book presents central results of psychological research on gift-giving. These provide answers to the following questions, among others: What ‘secret’ rules of giving and receiving do we follow? What messages do we send with our gifts? How do certain characteristics - such as the amount of the price or empathy - influence satisfaction with a gift? What mistakes should we avoid when giving gifts in romantic relationships? When is a monetary gift appropriate and when is it not? The Author Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. em. Bernd Stauss held the Chair of Service Management at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt. .

Abstract

Blockages to be solved with coaching are often the result of repressed traumatic experiences of a person or their ancestors. Pictorial models will guide the reader into the multi-layered landscape of the soul and its principles. Along the way, the book decodes traumas as the soul’s fundamental building blocks and follows them back to their origins: existential limit-experiences and their common denominator, the splitting of the soul. The consequences of this autonomous survival mechanism affect all areas of life, starting from the unconscious. Therefore, they are not accessible by conventional methods working with the conscious mind. The presented integrative approach provides means and ways that significantly expand the potential of coaching. Content Trauma Work for a Stable Center in Life The Splitting Phenomenon and Its Consequences Methods and Their Interaction Practical Guidelines Ten Real-Life Case Studies Target Groups Coaches, HR Experts, Management Consultants, Executives, Entrepreneurs, Psychologists, Psychotherapists, Physicians, Alternative Practitioners About the Authors Alexander N. Riechers works as an executive coach for international companies and in his private practice. His goal ist to unleash the vital forces of the unconscious to support sustainable leadership development and personal growth. Radim Ress has been engaged in the transgenerational scope of the unconscious for more than 20 years. His integrative methodology focuses on the traumatic experiences of the ancestors and their effects on later generations.

Abstract

The healing effects of the forest in integrative therapy are the focus of this book. Special emphasis is placed on teaching active forest life exercises that can be used in therapeutic practice in individual and group settings. In addition, the application as a prescription in the context of therapeutic interventions is demonstrated and the importance of increasing the inclusion of forest life in the case history is clarified. The attitude of complex mindfulness and practical integrative ecopsychosomatics open up possibilities of a care for the world in a time of alienation from nature with a simultaneous longing for nature; commitment to the preservation of nature strengthens an experience of solidarity and is at the same time effective self-care. The author Astrid Polz-Watzenig is a theologian, psychotherapist (integrative therapy) and coach. She is a certified nature park time-out facilitator and breathing and mindfulness teacher of the Vienna Breathing School, heads the Teaching Institute for Marriage and Family Counseling of the Diocese of Graz-Seckau, and is a lecturer at UNI for LIFE at the University of Graz. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content.
