Описание: Don Washburn, born in Easton, Pennsylvania, went on to Yale and Denver University, and a career in college teaching embracing English literature, semantics, speech, and metaphysics. During his many years in North Adams in the Berkshire Mountains, he explored Sufism, composed music, enlightened generations of curious students, and published two books of poetry, The Boy From Under the Trees and In the Eye of the Red-Tailed Hawk. His Sufi studies began in 1980 at the Sufi Order of the West at the Abode of the Message at new Lebanon, New York, where he became an initiate and a cherag, trained to preside at Universal Worship Services. Now in his 80s, Washburn has circled back to the Christian fold, and this book is his culminating synthesis of his spiritual quest. The poems deliver as much challenge as comfort, and they do not pull back from indicting destructive elements in today's politics and mass culture. In his notes about the poems, Washburn writes: "These poems are a kind of testimony. When younger, I sought spiritual knowledge in books. Later, the Sufis taught me it resides in the human heart. But most importantly, throughout my life, I was blessed with intimations that could turn into poems. A prayer bead is a reminder. A prayer bead has the power to summon an inspiration, but makes no pretense to comprising it. Poems that approach the ineffable can also serve as pointers. Nothing to quarrel over, just a finger in the moon's direction. In the case of God, the finger must point everywhere. "I am a little astonished that the exacting ten-line form these poems have taken could be so accommodating. They are all round, like prayer beads, the refrain making a perfect circle. How I managed to close the circle so many times, can only be explained as God's will. In time when so few people are capable of faith, I like to think I have been commandeered for a necessary service. " ... Sufism has been my mystical education, laid out in the writings of Rumi and Hazrat Inayat Khan. The Sufis teach that all religions point to the same divine Truth. So I also enjoyed an absolute religious freedom. And in my eighties I was able to reprise the Christian church of my boyhood. "On my death bed, I will take pleasure in the thought these poems can go on talking to people in my absence."

Описание: This book provides comprehensive, authoritative, yet accessible information about nonsuicidal self-injury (referred to simply as "self-injury). Self-injury is a complicated and mystifying condition; purposefully causing pain in order to feel better is, by its very nature, a complex thing. This book helps to de-mystify this condition by providing answers to questions about self-injury that are informed both by the research and the rich clinical experience of the authors. Written by a team of clinical experts in the assessment and treatment of self-injury, this book is designed to be accessible to a wide audience, including the general public, healthcare providers, teachers and school administrators, people who suffer from self-injury, and family members of people who suffer from self-injury. Here are three reasons why this book is worth your time and energy: 1. Written by Experts. The authors are clinicians who work every day with children, adolescents, and adults who engage in self-injury. We are a multidisciplinary team of experts who specialize in self-injury, providing insights from clinical psychology, medicine, psychiatry, nursing, and counseling fields. Specifically, we are the medical directors, program directors and coordinators, clinicians, and researchers for one of the largest specialty services for self-injury, the Center for Self-Injury Recovery. The Center for Self-Injury Recovery is located within the 7th largest behavioral health provider in the United States, Alexian Brothers Behavioral Health Hospital. Since the service began in 2002, the Center for Self-Injury Recovery has treated over 2,500 individuals with self-injury. In the year before this book was published, we treated 608 children, adolescents, and adults suffering from self-injury. 2. Practical, informed answers. This is a practical book designed to provide answers to common questions about a complex and often confusing condition: self-injury. Our answers are based on information that is available in the research literature on self-injury and are enriched by our extensive clinical experience. We answer basic as well as complex questions about self-injury in a way that is accessible to someone with little knowledge about self-injury, but also informative to someone who has extensive experience with self-injury. 3. Multidisciplinary and comprehensive focus. The Center for Self-Injury Recovery at Alexian Brothers is multidisciplinary and cuts across all continuums of care, from traditional outpatient therapy to inpatient treatment. Our integrated care model includes counselors, therapists, case managers, expressive therapists, chaplains, nurses, clinical psychologists, and psychiatrists. The questions and answers in this book reflect the variety of clinical disciplines and levels of care that is provided at the Center for Self-Injury Recovery. This book is designed to provide answers to questions asked by people who self-injure and the people that care about them, including parents, spouses, siblings, and friends. It is also designed to answer questions that professionals may have, such as therapists, counselors, teachers, nurses, clinical psychologists, physicians, and psychiatrists. In conclusion, this book is our attempt to share with you the expertise, experience, and tools we have gathered and developed over the last decade treating people with self-injury in the Center for Self-Injury Recovery at Alexian Brothers. We believe that the practical, clinically-focused, and evidence-informed answers provided in this book will be a resource for all people interested in better understanding and addressing self-injury. Our goal for this book is that it is kept within close reach on your desk (or your e-reader ), that it develops furled pages, is bookmarked extensively, and has text highlighted and margins full of scribbles. Above all else, we hope that you find it useful in recovery from self-injury.
