  Setting up your life to write a PhD has a single goal:  to ensure that PhD students have the support, preparation and context to succeed. 
  Too often words and phrases like 'burnout' or 'writer's block' are used to mask a complexity of motivational, task or time management issues.  But writing is difficult.  Writing a PhD is even harder. 
  Preparation is crucial.  Planning is crucial.  Context is crucial.  This book intervenes in assumptions and emotions to create a framework for effective writing, but also concrete advice to build a doctorate, one sentence at a time.

  Family Therapy - Strengthening...

  Family therapy is a branch of psychotherapy that focuses on improving communication, resolving conflicts, and strengthening relationships within the family unit. It recognizes that family dynamics play a crucial role in the mental health and well-being of individuals. In family therapy, the family is viewed as a system, where each member’s behavior affects and is affected by the others. This holistic approach considers the family as a whole rather than just addressing individual problems in isolation. 
  The origins of family therapy can be traced to the mid-20th century when therapists began to recognize the importance of the family context in shaping individuals’ thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Early pioneers like Murray Bowen, Salvador Minuchin, and Virginia Satir developed foundational theories that emphasized the interconnectedness of family members. Bowen’s Systems Theory, for example, suggests that family relationships are governed by patterns of behavior that can perpetuate dysfunction. Minuchin’s Structural Therapy focuses on the organization and structure of family systems, while Satir’s Human Validation Process highlights the significance of communication in fostering emotional well-being. 
  At its core, family therapy seeks to improve family functioning by promoting healthier patterns of interaction. One of the primary goals is to enhance communication within the family, ensuring that members feel heard and understood. In many cases, conflict arises not from the issues themselves but from poor communication and misunderstanding. By facilitating open, empathetic dialogue, family therapy helps members express their thoughts and emotions more effectively, leading to greater emotional intimacy and stronger bonds.

  Pandemics - A Very Short...

  The 2014 Ebola epidemic demonstrated the power of pandemics and their ability not only to destroy lives locally but also to capture the imagination and terrify the world. In 2019 and the years that followed, the coronavirus pandemic infected every continent and took the lives of millions. In this updated edition, Christian W. McMillen provides a concise yet comprehensive account of pandemics throughout human history, illustrating how pandemic disease has shaped history and, at the same time, social behavior has influenced pandemic disease.This Very Short Introduction describes history's major pandemics. McMillen discusses state responses to pandemics, such as quarantine, isolation, travel restrictions, and other forms of social control, and pays special attention to the rise of public health and the explosion of medical research in the wake of pandemics, especially as the germ theory of disease emerged in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Today, medicine is able to control all of these diseases, yet some of them are still devastating in much of the developing world. By assessing the relationship between poverty and disease and the geography of epidemics, McMillen offers an outspoken and thought-provoking point of view on the necessity for global governments to learn from past experiences and cooperate to prevent any future epidemic.

  "The essays contained in this volume treat of various subjects. With the exception of perhaps one we must consider all these papers as fragments. Written during the early Seventies, and intended mostly as prefaces, they are extremely interesting, since traces of Nietzsche's later tenets—like Slave and Master morality, the Superman—can be found everywhere. But they are also very valuable on account of the young philosopher's daring and able handling of difficult and abstruse subjects. "Truth and Falsity," and "The Greek Woman" are probably the two essays which will prove most attractive to the average reader."
