Horticultural Therapy with Veterans for Post-Traumatic Growth

Author: Joanna Wise

Publisher: Routledge

ISBN: 0429912749

Category: Psychology

Page: 336

View: 7814

Horticultural Therapy is ideally suited to engage veterans alienated from traditional civilian healthcare routes who present with a range of complex and challenging healthcare needs. It presents, on the surface, as a deceptively simple and accessible activity. Carried out by trained professionals, it is an evidence-based, effective and cost-effective treatment. By targeting specific client-centred goals, it is able to integrate improved individual physical, emotional, cognitive and social outcomes with broader opportunities to transition successfully into civilian society through learning a valuable skill set and a meaningful occupation. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the methods of Horticultural Therapy as applied to this unique client group. It describes the type of combat training and experiences veterans may have had, and sets out the common issues and pitfalls civilian therapists often face when working with the military. Looking to the future, it also identifies promising avenues in terms of how we may improve the treatment we offer to best serve the needs of these ex-service men and women who fight on our behalf.

Qianziwen – Der 1000-Zeichen-Klassiker

Zusammengestellt im 6. Jahrhundert am Hof des Kaisers Wu, der für seine Prinzen ein Lehrbuch wünschte, wurde Der 1000-Zeichen-Klassiker über viele Jahrhunderte in China für den Unterricht benutzt: Das Buch wurde gemeinsam rezitiert, auswendig gelernt, und jeder, der im alten China eine Schule besuchte, musste es beherrschen. Die Zeichen sind aber mehr als nur (Schrift-)Zeichen: Für chinesische Leser rufen sie Vorstellungen auf, Bildungsinhalte, einen Spruch der alten Meister Konfuzius oder Laozi, eine ethische Maxime. Und damit vermitteln sie den gesamten Kosmos chinesischen Weltwissens und chinesischer Kultur, bis in die heutige Zeit. Es beginnt, natürlich, mit Himmel (天 tiān) und Erde (地 dì), es geht weiter mit den Jahreszeiten und den Phänomenen der Natur, den Pflanzen, den Tieren, der Geschichte der Menschen, und bald schon folgen Regeln für die Lebensführung: "Sobald du erkennst, Was mangelhaft war, Musst du es fortan Tunlich vermeiden. Was du erlangtest An tüchtigem Können, Solltest du nimmer Wieder vergessen." Vier Zeichen ergeben jeweils einen Sinnzusammenhang, und acht Zeichen ein kleines Gedicht. Dieser Text erscheint hier zum ersten Mal in deutscher Übersetzung. Um ihn überhaupt übersetzen zu können, dazu bedarf es einer intimen Kenntnis der chinesischen Vorstellungswelt. Eva Lüdi Kong besitzt sie und hat jedes Zeichen in einen kurzen deutschen Vers übertragen. In ihrem ausführlichen Nachwort erläutert die Übersetzerin Entstehung und Bedeutung dieses chinesischen Klassikers.
