Concept Analysis in Nursing A New Approach

Concept Analysis in Nursing A New Approach

Concept analysis is an established genre of inquiry in nursing introduced in the 1970s. Currently over 100 concept studies are published annually yet the methods used within this field have rarely been questioned. In Concept Analysis in Nursing: A New Approach Paley provides a critical analysis of the philosophical assumptions that underpin nursing’s concept analysis methods. He argues provocatively that there are no such things as concepts as traditionally conceived. Drawing on Wittgenstein and Construction Grammar the book first makes a case for dispensing with the traditional concept of a ‘concept’ and then provides two examples of a new approach examining the use of ‘hope’ and ‘moral distress’. Casting doubt on the assumption that ‘hope’ always stands for an ‘inner’ state of the person the book shows that the word’s function varies with the grammatical construction it appears in. Similarly it argues that ‘moral distress’ is not the name of a mental state but a normative classification used to bolster a narrative concerning nursing’s identity. Concept Analysis in Nursing is a fresh and challenging book written by a philosopher interested in nursing. It will appeal to researchers and postgraduate students in the areas of nursing health philosophy and linguistics. It will also interest those familiar with the author’s previous book Phenomenology as Qualitative Research. | Concept Analysis in Nursing A New Approach

Jung's Shadow Concept The Hidden Light and Darkness within Ourselves

Jung's Shadow Concept The Hidden Light and Darkness within Ourselves

This insightful volume is designed as a series of invitations towards living attentiveness examining how we all make the “other” through “projection” (blaming and shaming the other outside ourselves) our enemy with whom we prefer not to dialogue. All of us are faced daily with individual and collective manifestations of the Shadow – all that we fear despise and makes us feel ashamed. Carl Jung’s concept of the Shadow emerging as it did from his personal confrontation with the realms of his unconscious self is one of the most important contributions he made to the understanding of humanity and to depth psychology that realm where the focus is on unconscious processes. The contributors to this book reframe his concept in the context of contemporary Jungian thinking exploring how the Shadow develops in an individual’s infancy and adolescence and its culmination where collective manifestations of the Shadow are addressed. The book offers a voyage through a series of fundamental Shadow concepts and themes including couples relationships disease organizations Evil fundamentalism ecology and boundary violation before ending with a chapter designed to help us integrate the Shadow and hold contra-positions with patience and a tilt towards mutual understanding rather than being locked in polarities. This fascinating new book will be of considerable interest to the general public Jungian analysts trainees scholars and therapists both in training and practice with an interest in the inner world. | Jung's Shadow Concept The Hidden Light and Darkness within Ourselves

The Concept of Monument in Achaemenid Empire

The Concept of Monument in Achaemenid Empire

The aim of this book is to explore the significance of the concept of ‘monument’ in the context of the Achaemenid Empire (550-330 BC) with particular reference to the Royal Ensemble of Persepolis founded by Darius I and built together with his son Xerxes. While Persepolis was built as an ‘intentional monument’ it had already become an ‘historic monument’ during the Achaemenid period. It maintained its symbolic significance in the following centuries even after its destruction by Alexander of Macedonia in 330 BC. The purpose of building Persepolis was to establish a symbol and a common reference for the peoples of the Empire with the Achaemenid Dynasty transmitting significant messages and values such as peace stability grandeur and praise for the dynastic figure of the king as the protector of values and fighting falsehood. While previous research on Achaemenid heritage has mainly been on archaeological and art-historical aspects of Persepolis the present work focuses on the architecture and design of Persepolis. It is supported by studies in the fields of archaeology history and art history as well as by direct survey of the site. The morphological analysis of Persepolis including the study of the proportions of the elevations and the verification of a planning grid for the layout of the entire ensemble demonstrate the univocal will by Darius to plan Persepolis following a precise initial scheme. The study shows how the inscriptions bas-reliefs and the innovative architectural language together express the symbolism values and political messages of the Achaemenid Dynasty exhibiting influence from different lands in a new architectural language and in the plan of the entire site. | The Concept of Monument in Achaemenid Empire

The Concept of Genocide in International Criminal Law Developments after Lemkin

The Concept of Genocide in International Criminal Law Developments after Lemkin

This book presents a review of historical and emerging legal issues that concern the interpretation of the international crime of genocide. The Polish legal expert Raphael Lemkin formulated the concept of genocide during the Nazi occupation of Europe and it was then incorporated into the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. This volume looks at the issues that are raised both by the existing international law definition of genocide and by the possible developments that continue to emerge under international criminal law. The authors consider how the concept of genocide might be used in different contexts and see whether the definition in the 1948 convention may need some revision also in the light of the original ideas that were expressed by Lemkin. The book focuses on specific themes that allow the reader to understand some of the problems related to the legal definition of genocide in the context of historical and recent developments. As a valuable contribution to the debate on the significance meaning and application of the crime of genocide the book will be essential reading for students and academics working in the areas of Legal History International Criminal Law Human Rights and Genocide Studies.

Architectural Structures Visualizing Load Flow Geometrically

Architectural Structures Visualizing Load Flow Geometrically

Architectural Structures presents an alternative approach to understanding structural engineering load flow using a visually engaging and three-dimensional format. This book presents a ground-breaking new way of establishing equilibrium in architectural structures using the Modern Müller-Breslau method. While firmly grounded in principles of mechanics this method does not use traditional algebraic statics nor does it use classical graphic statics. Rather it solely uses new geometric tools. Both statically determinate and statically indeterminate structures are analyzed using this graphic method to provide a geometric understanding of how load flows through architectural structures. This book includes approachable coverage of parametric modeling of two-dimensional and three-dimensional structures as well as more advanced topics such as indeterminate structural analysis and plastic analysis. Hundreds of detailed drawings created by the author are included throughout to aid understanding. Architecture and structural engineering students can employ this novel method by hand sketching or by programming in parametric design software. A detailed yet approachable guide Architectural Structures is ideal for students of architecture construction management and structural engineering at all levels. Practitioners will find the method extremely useful for quickly solving load tracing problems in three-dimensional grids. | Architectural Structures Visualizing Load Flow Geometrically

Embodied Trauma and Healing Critical Conversations on the Concept of Health

Embodied Trauma and Healing Critical Conversations on the Concept of Health

What if philosophy could solve the psychological puzzle of trauma? Embodied Trauma and Healing argues just that suggesting that one might be needed in order to understand the other. The book demonstrates how the body-mind problem that haunted Descartes was addressed by phenomenologists whilst also proposing that the human experience is lived subjectively as embodied consciousness. Throughout this book the author suggests that the phenomenological tools that are used to explore the body can also be an effective way to discuss the physical and mental aspects of embodied trauma. Drawing on the work of Paul Ricœur Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Emmanuel Lévinas the book outlines a phenomenological approach to the embodied and relational subject. It offers a reading of embodied trauma that can connect it to wider conversations in psychological underpinnings of trauma through Peter Levine’s somatic research and Bessel van der Kolk’s embodied remembering. Connecting to the analytic tradition the book suggests that phenomenology can unify both language-based and body-based therapeutic practice. It also presents a compelling discussion that ties the embodied experience of relation in trauma to the wider causal factors of social suffering and relational rupture intergenerational trauma and the trauma of land as informed by phenomenology. Embodied Trauma and Healing is essential reading for researchers within the fields of philosophy psychology and medical humanities for it actively engages with contemporary configurations of trauma theory and recent research developments in healing and mental disorder diagnosis. | Embodied Trauma and Healing Critical Conversations on the Concept of Health

The Animal and the Human in Ancient and Modern Thought The 'Man Alone of Animals' Concept

The Animal and the Human in Ancient and Modern Thought The 'Man Alone of Animals' Concept

Ancient Greeks endeavored to define the human being vis-à-vis other animal species by isolating capacities and endowments which they considered to be unique to humans. This approach toward defining the human being still appears with surprising frequency in modern philosophical treatises in modern animal behavioral studies and in animal rights literature to argue both for and against the position that human beings are special and unique because of one or another attribute or skill that they are believed to possess. Some of the claims of man’s unique endowments have in recent years become the subject of intensive investigation by cognitive ethologists carried out in non-laboratory contexts. The debate is as lively now as in classical times and what is of particular note the examples and methods of argumentation used to prove one or another position on any issue relating to the unique status of human beings that one encounters in contemporary philosophical or ethological literature frequently recall ancient precedents. This is the first book-length study of the ‘man alone of animals’ topos in classical literature not restricting its analysis to Greco-Roman claims of man’s intellectual uniqueness but including classical assertions of man’s physiological and emotional uniqueness. It supplements this analysis of ancient manifestations with an examination of how the commonplace survives and has been restated transformed and extended in contemporary ethological literature and in the literature of the animal rights and animal welfare movements. Author Stephen T. Newmyer demonstrates that the anthropocentrism detected in Greek applications of the ‘man alone of animals’ topos is not only alive and well in many facets of the current debate on human-animal relations but that combating its negative effects is a stated aim of some modern philosophers and activists. | The Animal and the Human in Ancient and Modern Thought The 'Man Alone of Animals' Concept
