The Paris Olympia Press, successor to the famed Obelisk Press, run by Obelisk-founder Jack Kahane’s son Maurice Giriodas, picked up where Obelisk left off. The “dirty books” published by the Paris Olympia Press grew even dirtier than Kahane’s most explicit publications, and Giriodas’s avant-garde literary endeavors soon outstripped those of his father. The first to publish William Burroughs’s Naked Lunch, Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita, and Samuel Beckett’s Molloy, the Paris Olympia Press drew acclaim and controversy for its literary contributions during the “golden age of erotica,” a time when starving artists and intellectuals, academics and journalists, wrote erotic fiction under the cover of pseudonyms to pay the bills. In The Paris Olympia Press, renowned bibliographer Patrick Kearney compiles a detailed account of the Press’s publishing activities, including biographical sketches of its authors, an introduction to the Press’s literary achievements, and a complete bibliography of works published. An extensive illustrated study, The Paris Olympia Press catalogs and comments on the early work of some of the most influential writers of the twentieth century.

The volume synthesizes current research and theories on the therapeutic uses of mindfulness, specifically for people living with developmental disabilities. In addition, it examines a promising new study in which mothers of children with ASD learn mindfulness techniques for their own use and are then trained to teach the methods to their children. The book concludes with a report of poststudy findings and a discussion of practical and methodological issues regarding mindfulness interventions for ASD. Featured topics include: <ul> <li>A genealogy of mindfulness, from original Buddhist texts to modern health applications.</li> <li>Implications for further research and advancement.</li> <li>Appendices of basic mindfulness exercises and activities.</li> </ul> A Mindfulness Intervention for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders is a concise resource for researchers, clinicians and other scientist-practitioners, and graduate students in developmental psychology, social work, education, and related disciplines.
