Mental health services are changing due to pressures from within the services and changes in social policy outside of mental health care. "Changing Mental Health Services: The Politics & Policy" examines the issues involved in the care of the mentally ill in the context of a society undergoing profound changes in health and social care. The book looks at a range of differing strategies which have been used in providing for those with mental illness from containment in institutions to care in the community policies. The origins of these policies are explored and the consequences for the professionals and service users alike examined. Challenging the 20th-century public policy on mental halth, this text argues that social policy is necessarily political, especially when dealing with issues such as public expenditure and the loss of liberty. The reforms of the NHS and the role of social service departments are discussed to enable an understanding of how these changes came about and the implications for mental health services. A case study of managing change and providing mental health services in Manchester in the early 1990s is included. This is contrasted by looking at the development of services in America. An alternative approach to the planning and management is given to enable mental health provision which records the impact of services on the quality of life of service users. This book is aimed at those health professionals undergoing training or education in the mental health field who want to look at issues of policy and practice in a social, political and historical context.

Anyone interested in communication with a departed loved one or learning more about the "Other Side" will want to read this book Many may be shocked to learn that the so called dead have been communicating across the veil through electronic devices since the early 1900s. Much more than anecdotal evidence exists that we survive physical death and that our loved ones on the "Other Side" continue to interact with us. Indeed, evidence collected from Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) and Video Instrumental TransCommunication (ITC) ...

We Can Know the Nature of Reality Our understanding of the nature of reality is undergoing an important shift from mostly supposition and belief to actionable facts based on important developments in parapsychology and transcommunication. This is resulting in emergence of new tools which are helping us better understand our nature and the nature of the world we live in. To be sure, this shift involves theory and research, but it ultimately comes down to who we are and what we can become. The best way to describe this future paradigm is to think in terms of mindfulness and the middle way of mindful living. This is not the mindfulness of living in the moment based on the belief that you are your body. It is the mindfulness of experiencing life from the perspective of your immortal self. This book is written to show you the evidence of survival and the implications of that evidence as an important model for future research. While your personal progression depends a lot on understanding the evidence, the community sharing your journey is equally important. To help you learn where to look for help, a comprehensive discussion of our paranormalist community is included. Mindfulness can lead to important growth in your ability to work with nature, to sense the subtle fields influencing your life and more confidently commune with your loved ones on the other side. But it is important to understand how this paradigm shift is changing our understanding of the phenomena of transcommunication and interconnectedness in our community. The last part of this book includes a comprehensive discussion of the phenomena, including EVP-ITC and mediumship transcommunication phenomena.

The Energy Reader takes an unflinching look at the environmental devastation created by our thirst for energy--including supposedly "clean" renewable sources. From oil spills, nuclear accidents, and mountaintop-removal coal mining to oversized wind farms and desert-destroying solar power plants, virtually every region of the globe is now experiencing the consequences of out-of-control energy development. Essentially no place is sacred, no landscape safe from the relentless search for energy resources to continue powering a culture based on perpetual growth. Precious wildlands, fragile ecosystems, even our own communities and children's health are at risk. Featuring essays by more than thirty of the most brilliant minds in the fields of energy, society, and ecology, The Energy Reader lifts the veil on the harsh realities of our pursuit of energy at any price, revealing the true costs, benefits, and limitations of all our energy options. Contributors include Wes Jackson, Bill McKibben, Sandra B. Lubarsky, Richard Heinberg, Philip Cafaro, Wendell Berry, Juan Pablo Orrego. Collectively, they offer a wake-up call about the future of energy and what each of us can do to change course. Ultimately, the book offers not only a deep critique of the current system that is toxic to nature and people, but also a hopeful vision for a future energy economy--in which resilience, health, beauty, biodiversity, and durability, not incessant growth, are the organizing principles.

James and Mary Swan picked bluebells for their mother on their way home from school. They were expecting freshly baked cakes, but there was to be no teatime treat on that fateful day. What they found instead would change their lives forever. Seven years on, together with their older brother, Noah; and the support of foster parents, they summon up the courage to attend their father's funeral. But will that give them closure? A fragile bond exists between the two brothers, who share their late father's passion for music. Will a dispute over the ownership of a song written earlier in life lead them into the eye of a storm? Could sibling rivalry destroy their dreams and ambitions?
