The Silent Selkie A Storybook to Support Children and Young People Who Have Experienced Trauma

The Silent Selkie A Storybook to Support Children and Young People Who Have Experienced Trauma

The Silent Selkie describes a character who is unable to communicate in words and whose only way of communicating is through the weather which leads to disastrous consequences not only for the Selkie but also for everyone around her. But behind her golden scales the Selkie hides a secret wound that even she is unaware of and it is only when the Selkie’s skin becomes uncovered by the force of the sea that she remembers the terrible story of what caused her hurt long ago. Only then can the Selkie come to terms with her wound and begin a journey of healing that will bring her face-to-face with what she has needed all along. Beautifully illustrated and sensitively written The Silent Selkie deals with the effects of trauma on a young person – including hypersensitivity and emotional reactivity. The story uses the metaphor of trauma as a ‘hidden wound’ which in reality is an emotional or psychological pain that needs both acknowledgement and expression within the context of a safe supportive environment in which to begin to heal. This colourful storybook: Helps adults provide a safe environment for children to use non-verbal expression to communicate experiences that may be difficult to talk about. Uses creative metaphors and symbols to offer children a supportive way to communicate whilst maintaining a safe distance from the source of their emotional pain. Inspires and empowers children to begin their journey of healing. The Silent Selkie encourages young people who may have adverse childhood experiences or trauma to develop greater understanding of how this can affect them and is ideal reading for those working with vulnerable children and young people seeking to use the expressive arts to develop greater emotional literacy in children with a background of trauma. For effective use this book should be purchased alongside the guidebook. Both books can be purchased together as a set Supporting Children and Young People Who Have Experienced Trauma 978-0-367-63944-0 | The Silent Selkie A Storybook to Support Children and Young People Who Have Experienced Trauma

Parties and Political Change in South Asia

Parties and Political Change in South Asia

Over the past seven decades and more political parties have become an essential feature of the political landscape of the South Asian subcontinent serving both as a conduit and product of the tumultuous change the region has experienced. Yet they have not been the focus of sustained scholarly attention. This collection focuses on different aspects of how major parties have been agents of - and subject to - change in three South Asian states (India Pakistan and Sri Lanka) examining some of the apparent paradoxes of politics in the subcontinent and covering issues such as gender religion patronage clientelism political recruitment and democratic regression. Recurring themes are the importance of personalities (and the corresponding neglect of institutionalisation) and the lack of pluralism in intraparty affairs factors that render parties and political systems vulnerable to degeneration. This book was published as a special issue of Commonwealth and Comparative Politics. | Parties and Political Change in South Asia

Security Strategies Power Disparity and Identity The Baltic Sea Region

What is power and how is it effective? This volume responds to these questions in terms of regional international relations with a particular focus on the Baltic Sea region an area still charged with a residue of Cold War conflict and power disparity in a setting of new cooperative ventures.

The book breaks with tradition by adopting a new thematic approach based on regional issues and functions rather than a country-by-country discourse. It will be of critical value to readers interested in security studies and European politics. | Security Strategies Power Disparity and Identity The Baltic Sea Region

Remaking Europe in the Margins Northern Europe after the Enlargements

Originally published in 2005. This comprehensive volume examines the issue of Europe-making related to the post EU/NATO enlargement and the post 9/11 situation. Dual enlargement and the War on Terrorism are raising important questions for various actors in Europe in particular what these developments will mean for the future of regional cooperation and the development of a regional subjectivity. Such concerns have been further compounded by America's distinction between 'New Europe' and 'Old Europe'. The volume analyzes at both policy and conceptual levels how the dual enlargement and the War on Terrorism will impact on regional cooperation in northern Europe. It examines how events in northern Europe have helped shape the nature of European space borders and governance including how the EU the US and Russia have each highlighted northern Europe as a special case to be utilized and learnt from in dealing with problems elsewhere in Europe and globally. Presenting original articles the volume will appeal to scholars of regional politics as well as security international relations theory and geopolitics. | Remaking Europe in the Margins Northern Europe after the Enlargements

Revitalizing Interculturality in Education Chinese Minzu as a Companion

Revitalizing Interculturality in Education Chinese Minzu as a Companion

China is often seen as a monolith outside its borders. However heterogeneity and interculturality have characterized the Middle Kingdom for centuries. Today China’s take on diversity is too easily disparaged or perceived as ambiguous – as if China was not legitimate to take part in conversations about it. The authors wish to contribute to global discussions about interculturality in education which have often been dominated by ‘Western’ voices by problematizing a very specific Chinese perspective called Minzu (‘ethnic’) education. Minzu is presented as a potential companion to other forms of diversity education (multicultural intercultural transcultural cross-cultural global education). Without claiming that they have found a miraculous and one-size-fits all recipe they argue that the lessons learnt from researching various aspects of Minzu in Chinese education can also help students researchers educators and decision-makers unthink and rethink the central issue of interculturality. As such the book introduces the complexity contradictions and benefits of Minzu while helping the reader consider how compatible and complementary it could be with discussions of interculturality in other parts of the world. The book also aims at making readers observe critically their own contexts. This book was written with an open mind and it should be read with the same. | Revitalizing Interculturality in Education Chinese Minzu as a Companion

Several reform paradigms have become well-known and disseminated worldwide under acronyms such as NPM – New Public Management NPG – New Public Governance and PV – Public Value.
