Mind, Body, SpiritPsychedelic Integration
Psychotherapy for Non-Ordinary States of Consciousness
by Marc Aixalà, Jose Carlos Bouso
Psychedelic Integration: Psychotherapy for Non-Ordinary States ofConsciousness is a trailblazing guidebook for anyone interested inpsychedelic-assisted therapy and integration. When psychologist and psychotherapist Marc B. Aixalá began fielding questions from people around the world seeking help integrating their own psychedelic experiences, he couldn’t find a singular source of collected research and support. What began as an attempt to help others became Psychedelic Integration, a work that traces the evolution of psychedelic-assisted therapy and integration research from the 1960s to the present moment, explains therapeutic techniques and outlines a clinician’s real-world observations on the deep work of healing. Written for practitioners and the generally curious, this book offers 11 metaphors for understanding integration and concisely explains the seven dimensions of integration, which Aixalá sees as part of a process inextricably linked to preparation and the psychedelic session experience. Grounded in the idea that integration work serves two main objectives: maximizing the benefits of a psychedelic experience and dealing with adverse effects, Aixalá maintains that understanding why an individual seeks integration support can inform therapeutic techniques. Psychedelic Integration outlines foundational practices like rest and nutrition, spiritual approaches including water rituals and tarot, embodied techniques of dance and singing, and frameworks including Holotropic Breathwork, Gestalt therapy and integration circles. The author acknowledges that psychedelic experiences can be difficult and even traumatic, and he confronts that reality with compassion. In this book, Aixalá shares stories and artwork created by some of his patients as they progressed through their own integration journeys. Psychedelic Integration is an essential companion for practitioners, their patients, and those seeking integration work not as a solution but as a tool for self and collective discovery.

2022Integrative Oncology
A consultation manual for physicians and pharmacists
by Prof. Dr. Harald Matthes, Dr. Friedemann Schad and Prof. Dr. Ralf-Dieter Hofheinz
Conventional oncological treatment regimens predominantly target the pathogenesis of the disease and are thereby often deficient – a multidimensional view of the whole person and the therapeutic relationship opens up new, complementary treatment options. Scientific data and sound experience of a meaningful holistic concept are now available. 39 experts in their specialist disciplines present the principles of integrative oncology: - Carcinogenesis, what it means to be human, deficiencies of conventional therapy - Integrative therapy systems, scientific confirmation - Specialised drugs, evaluation of specific disease situations - Common malignancies, treatment - Oncological guidelines Conventional and complementary medicine can draw inspiration from each other – we broaden the view.

NursingIntegration of Foreign Employees in Nursing
Theories, Concepts as Well as Pedagogical Experiences and Framework Recommendations for Practice
by Michael Bossle / Horst Kunhardt
The shortage of skilled nursing staff is glaring. Staffing needs will increase strongly due to retirements over the next ten years. To improve the situation, professional associations are calling for better working and general conditions, adequate staffing and remuneration, greater investment in training and professional development, and more decision-making powers for nursing professionals in the healthcare system. Recruiting and integrating foreign nursing professionals is an important element in reducing the shortage of skilled workers.

Science & MathematicsFebruary 2024Biology and Integrated Management of Turfgrass Diseases
by Gary W. Beehag, Nathan R. Walker, Percy T.W. Wong, Jyri Kaapro
Cultivated turfgrass is an assemblage of mown, perennial grasses or prostrate-growing forb plants and a suite of microbes all competing with each other in a common environment. This book approaches turfgrass diseases from an ecological perspective and explains with examples how wild plants and microbes have co-evolved. It addresses the identification, biology and integrated management of both common turfgrass diseases and newly emergent diseases. It includes the common and lesser-known turfgrass species, their surrounding environment and the range of beneficial and pathogenic microbes which in combination explain why disease occurs. For disease identification purposes, fungal diseases are arranged according to their predominantly cool season and warm season occurrence. Turfgrass bacterial and viral diseases, and plant parasitic nematodes are also covered. Written by a team of international authors, it combines technical expertise and practical experience. Essential for anyone involved in managing turfgrass, this book provides the know-how to identify the early warning signs of diseases, in order to manipulate the environment and minimise the damage.

June 1991Recht - Staat - Vernunft
Studien zur Rechtstheorie 2
by Ralf Dreier
In diesem Band – einer Fortführung der unter dem Titel »Recht – Moral – Ideologie« (stw 344) erschienenen Studien – liefert Ralf Dreier weitere Bausteine zu einer integrativen Theorie des Rechts und der Rechtswissenschaft. Seine Arbeit gehört zu den Versuchen, mit einem wissenschafts-theoretische und ideologiekritisch geschärften Bewußtsein die moralischen Grundlagen und Wurzeln der modernen Industriegesellschaft und des demokratischen Verfassungsstaates freizulegen und dadurch eine für ein breites Spektrum politischer Auffassungen tragfähige Verständigungsbasis zu gewinnen, die es erlaubt, sowohl irrationalistisch-totalitaristische Verblendungen als auch technokratisch-positivistische Verengungen des rechtlich-politischen Denkens und Handelns abzuwehren.

Humanities & Social SciencesNovember 2010Globalisation, Integration and the Future of European Welfare States
by Theodora-Ismene Gizelis, Emil Kirchner, Thomas Christiansen
This book argues that the welfare state cannot be understood purely as a set of social policy arrangements, but must be seen as a political institution, intended to achieve certain political objectives. The political dimension of the welfare state is essential for understanding its initial emergence as well as assessing its ability to deal with contemporary challenges. Governments use welfare transfers to decrease the risk of political instability that may be politically disruptive and threaten to undermine social cohesion. The success of welfare institutions stems from their ability to foster a redistribution of resources and political consensus that has enabled long-term political stability and economic development. The book develops a general model that looks at the interactive effects between welfare transfers, political instability and state capacity. It provides a unique theoretical contribution to the study of welfare spending in the context of globalisation and integration, analyses the key politial rationale for welfare programmes, namely their role in preserving social cohesion and governance and demonstrates clearly that welfare policies can be successfully adopted to meet new challenges and that retrenchment of the welfare state is not inevitable, using Scandinavia as a leading example of modern thinking policies. ;
