The Tragedy of Mariam

Elizabeth Carey

The Tragedy of Mariam (1613) is the first original drama written in English by a woman. Elizabeth Cary drew on Jewish histories by Josephus to create a closet drama (written to be read, rather than performed live) about Mariam, the second wife of Herod the Great. At the beginning of the play, Mariam believes that Herod has been killed by Octavius, and struggles with how to respond. On the one hand, she is relieved, as she is angry with Herod for killing her brother and grandfather. On the other, she knows that he loved her, and she feels caught by her sense of duty as his wife. When Herod unexpectedly returns, Mariam must decide what to do. - Summary by Elizabeth KlettCastMariam: Libby GohnAlexandra: Caprisha PageSalome/Babas' Second Son/Nuntio/Narrator: Elizabeth KlettSilleus: balaConstabarus: mbChorus: Alan MapstonePheroras: Algy PugGraphina: AvailleBabas' First Son/Silleus' Man: Julia NiedermaierDoris: Kay HandAnanell/Butler: ToddSohemus: David NicolHerod: Bruce PirieAudio edited by Elizabeth Klett

Polyvagal-Informed EMDR - A...

Rebecca Kaser

Polyvagal Theory and EMDR are two well-respected theoretical and practical models with immense implications for therapeutic practice. Polyvagal-Informed EMDR outlines a comprehensive approach for integrating Polyvagal Theory into EMDR Therapy. Combined, these models supercharge therapy and the recovery process. 
 
 
 
The integration of Polyvagal Theory within the eight phases of EMDR Therapy offers the psychotherapist a robust, dynamic, neuro-informed framework for case conceptualization, treatment planning, and client transformation. The approach applies not only to work with trauma and PTSD, but also in the treatment of addictions, anxiety, depression, grief, chronic pain, and adjustment disorders. 
 
 
 
EMDR therapists will find a method that maintains fidelity to the evidence-based practice of EMDR and aligns with current neuroscience research. Clinical interventions, scripts, and handouts are included for all eight phases of EMDR, as well as case examples and opportunities for experiential practice. 
 
 
 
This is the first book to treat these topics together: assessing complex material and presenting it in an approachable, engaging manner.
