        When A Child Grieves

        Psychoanalytic Understanding and Technique

        by Masur, Corinne

        For many years, debate has raged as to whether children are capable of embarking on a true mourning process. In When a Child Grieves, Corinne Masur provides an excellent overview of the myriad psychoanalytic theories on the subject and demonstrates conclusively that children can and do mourn. She describes how children and adolescents experience grief and how the mourning process can go awry. Dr Masur provides ample guidelines for the evaluation and treatment of children and adolescents struggling with their grief, alongside a multitude of clinical examples to illustrate her salient points. One detailed and poignant case history is returned to throughout the book, that of a three-year-old who lost his father to suicide. This sensitive and important work fills a void in the literature and will become a key text for trainees and qualified psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, clinicians, and other professionals working with bereaved children.

        by Kajsa Gordan

        ”Tell me”, Corinne said again. ”It usually feels better when you tell someone.” When Corinne is about to start 7th grade she sees her chance to change schools and start over. Become herself again, and not Corinne with the dead mother. No one will find out what is going on with her. In a part of the school, closed-off for renovation, Corinne and her friends one day discover the school counselor’s abandoned room. What starts like a game when Corinne sits down in the counselor’s chair soon turns into something else. There is something about the room – a mood, the atmosphere. One by one, her fellow classmates come to reveal their innermost secrets to Corinne. And she listens. Because, if you are the one helping others, you don’t have to think about your own sadness.

        Acoustics in Architectural Design

        by Raf Orlowski

        It was not until the beginning of the twentieth century that the physicist Wallace Clement Sabine developed his theory of reverberation, which has remained fundamental to architectural acoustics to this day, and has subsequently been applied to many building types, especially those for the performing arts. Yet the practice of architectural acoustics goes back much further with the impressive designs of the Greeks proving highly influential.   This comprehensive book explores the development of acoustics in architectural design from the theatres of Classical Greece, through the early development of opera houses, concert halls and theatres, to the research work of Sabine and his successors and its influence on twentieth- and twenty-first-century buildings.  Topics covered include:   The fundamentals of acoustics The influential legacy of the Greeks and Romans The evolving design of opera houses, theatres and concert halls The acoustics of schools, music schools and recital halls
