Sinossi

"Touch and Meaning" presents a comprehensive exploration of physical touch's vital role in human development, relationships, and psychological well-being. Drawing from neuroscience, developmental psychology, and anthropological research, the book reveals how this fundamental sense shapes our mental health and social connections from infancy through adulthood. Through extensive clinical studies and research findings, it demonstrates how tactile experiences influence everything from early childhood development to adult emotional regulation and social bonding.

 


 
The book progresses logically through three key areas: the developmental significance of touch in infant-caregiver relationships, its role in adult relationships and social bonding, and its therapeutic applications in clinical settings. Notable research findings include studies of touch-deprived orphans and measurements of cortisol levels in response to supportive touch, highlighting the biological importance of physical contact. The work particularly emphasizes how modern society's increasing digitalization has created a "touch deficit" with measurable psychological consequences.

 


 
Written in an accessible yet academically rigorous style, the book bridges multiple disciplines while offering practical guidelines for incorporating appropriate touch in various contexts. It addresses contemporary challenges in maintaining healthy touch boundaries and adapting touch-based therapies across different populations and cultural norms. What sets this work apart is its comprehensive integration of scientific research with practical applications, making it valuable for both professionals in mental health and education as well as individuals seeking to understand the science behind human connection.

    James Hillman is the father of Archetypal Psychology. This rare program focuses on Education, Imagination and Myth with James Hillman. 
     
    The emergence of C.G. Jung’s Red Book from years of storage in a Swiss vault has re-kindled interest in active imagination. This method of self-exploration involves actively engaging one’s own imagination in dialogue, through writing, art, or the spoken word. 
     
    In this 2.5 -hour streaming video program, James Hillman —noted author, psychologist, and the first Director of Studies at the Jung Institute in Zurich — introduces the method and delves deeply into the therapeutic value it offers in an increasingly noisy and demanding world. 
     
    Hillman considers the history and theory of active imagination in Jung, its relationship to making art, and offers examples for scrutiny and discussion. He discusses the fear of inviting demons and opening wounds, and addresses the difference between the voices of inner figures and auditory hallucinations. 
     
    The major re-examination of Jung’s original ideas and inspiration doesn’t stop there, though. Hillman goes on to examine the role of imagination in contemporary culture, and whether imagination itself might need re-imagining. 
     
    Hillman’s seminar was taped December 9, 2009, in California.

    Sex is such an intimate topic historically wrapped in shame and when someone shares they were sexually abused, we may not know how to respond. 
    With recent #MeToo and #ChurchToo movements, we are learning just how many men, women, boys, and girls have suffered sexual abuse at the hands of a trusted person, often family members or leaders in the church. Sexual abuse is rampant in modern society and now--sometimes many years later--sexual abuse survivors are sharing their stories. 
    Anne Marie Miller is a survivor of childhood clergy sexual abuse and has shared her journey toward healing with audiences all over the world. After speaking with thousands of survivors and their loved ones, she saw the need for a fundamental and practical guide for helping supporters of sexual abuse survivors understand the basics of abuse, trauma, healing, and hope. Drawing from her own experience as a survivor and evidence-based research, Anne addresses these questions and more in Healing Together:What is sexual abuse?How can I help survivors?Who are predators and how do they groom victims?How does trauma affect survivors?What happens when someone doesn't remember the details of their abuse?How does abuse wound the physical, emotional, and spiritual health of people who have been abused?When and how should authorities be contacted?How do you talk to your children about sexual abuse?What are the warning signs of abuse?Is healing possible? 
    Whether you are a spouse, a family member, a friend, or a church leader looking for easy-to-navigate resources to understand and support sexual abuse survivors, you'll find answers and hope in this audiobook. 
    Detailed appendixes on trauma, memory, and legal terms are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

    Commando Medics in the Falkland War

    This is a unique account of the Falkland War, told by former Commando Medic, Malcolm Hazell, who led a team of 39 men, initially at Ajax Bay, and subsequently at Teal Inlet where they were alongside members of the Special Boat Service (SBS) and the Commandos specialist Mountain and Arctic Warfare Cadre (M&AW Cadre). 
    Detailed accounts are given of the facilities the medical team provided at both locations, and the largely untold military role Teal Inlet played in defeating the Argentine Forces. Above all this is a graphic account of the war, and its many battles, including Naval gunfire support provided by destroyers and frigates, and the damage and losses resulting both ashore and afloat. Having written the account, shocking anomalies regarding fatalities from both sides of the conflict are uncovered and remain unresolved. 
    Malcolm Hazell's medical team played a full part in the reception and treatment of around two-thirds of all the casualties treated ashore, ably supported at Ajax Bay by both Royal Navy and Parachute surgical teams; but at Teal Inlet they depended on just one surgeon and a handful of other medics to manage an operating table. When weather conditions deteriorated as the war reached its climax, the team at Teal Inlet were the sole receiving medical facility, placing an unimaginable strain on the facility, much of which was under canvas. Argentine and British fatalities were also being flown back to the facility - something that has proven highly controversial and contentious as the author has sought to clarify anomalies he identified in 2020, only to be met with denials and silence. 
    This is not just a medics story however, and the reader is given a full understanding of the tactical situation throughout the account, on a day-by-day, blow-by-blow basis. 'Commando Medics in the Falkland War' provides a complete insight into almost every aspect of this brutal war.
