The History of Animals Aristotle - The following Translation of Aristotles History of Animals has been made from the text of Schneider. In a work of considerable difficulty it is hardly possible entirely to avoid errors; but it is hoped that those which have escaped are neither numerous nor important. The notes of Schneider have been consulted throughout; and in places of difficulty the English translation by Taylor; the French of Camus; and the German of Strack; have been severally referred to.The work itself is the most ancient and celebrated contribution to science which has come down to us; and it is hardly possible; when we consider the means of observation which were accessible at the time; to imagine a work of more accurate observation. From the numerous quotations in which our author avails himself of the experience of his predecessors in the same field; as well as corrects their errors; there can be no doubt that Aristotle had the advantage of many works which have perished in the lapse of ages. In the Appendix to the present Translation will be found the Essay of Schneider on the sources whence Aristotle derived his knowledge of the animals he describes; and these sources; together with his own accurate observations; are probably sufficient to account for the correct knowledge of the history of animals displayed throughout the work.

The Birth of Tragedy Friedrich Nietzsche - The Birth of Tragedy (1872) is a book about the origins of Greek tragedy and its relevance to the German culture of its time. For Nietzsche, Greek tragedy is the expression of a culture which has achieved a delicate but powerful balance between Dionysian insight into the chaos and suffering which underlies all existence and the discipline and clarity of rational Apollonian form. In order to promote a return to these values, Nietzsche undertakes a critique of the complacentrationalism of late nineteenth-century German culture and makes an impassioned plea for the regenerative potential of the music of Wagner. In its wide-ranging discussion of the nature of art, science and religion, Nietzsches argument raises important questions about the problematic nature of cultural origins which

Una de las características de las familias multiproblemáticas es que son familias multi-atendidas a través del sistema socio-sanitario. En el peor de los casos los profesionales se convierten en testigos impotentes de las incompetencias de estas familias. A veces, llegados a ese punto derivan el caso a otros profesionales, con la esperanza de que estos se puedan hacer cargo de la intervencion o de poder trabajar juntos. ¿Como coordinar estas intervenciones para que sean de utilidad a la familia?, ¿Como reformular los objetivos de intervencion propuestos por otro profesional si desde nuestro punto de vista el enfoque deberia ser otro?, ¿como hacer para que los profesionales colaboren y cooperen?, ¿como motivar a estas familias que muchas veces llevan un importante recorrido por estos servicios? Ricardo Ramos nos habla en este libro con ejemplos claros que surgen de su practica profesional, con la humildad de quien sabe que este es un trabajo complejo y al mismo tiempo posible. El nos propone escribir con la familia y los profesionales que la atienden, esa historia que les queda por vivir.

¿Realmente se beneficia la gente de una sesión y, si es así, cómo?La terapia de una sola sesión se define como un encuentro cara a cara entre un terapeuta y un paciente sin sesiones previas o posteriores en un largo periodo de tiempo. Cada sesion se aborda como un evento singular, basado en la creencia de que algo bueno puede venir de una sesion y de que esa sesion puede ser la ultima. El supuesto fundamental de todas las formas de terapia breve es que los clientes tienen la capacidad de alterar sus pensamientos, emociones y conductas para producir cambios significativos y beneficiosos.El campo de la terapia de una sola sesion (SST) se esta expandiendo rapidamente, ya que cada vez mas personas utilizan sesiones unicas en clinicas, organismos publicos de salud, consultorios privados, enlaces de consulta en hospitales, entrevistas para una segunda opinion y demostraciones clinicas.La SST es esencialmente un sistema de entrega, no una escuela especifica ni un enfoque teorico. La evidencia mas significativa que apoya la adopcion de un enfoque de terapia breve son los datos: un gran numero de clientes asiste a una sola sesion, este planeada o no. Este hecho tiene una profunda implicacion para todos los enfoques de la terapia y por ello la SST es un modelo contextual, una practica que se esfuerza por activar los propios recursos de los clientes.Este libro abarca el dilema de como brindar la oportunidad de que una sola sesion sea suficiente y, al mismo tiempo, ofrecer opciones de atencion y apoyo continuos. Incluye muchos ejemplos clinicos, investigaciones recientes, formacion y supervision, aplicacion y disposiciones administrativas de la SST.
