Volume II in the Evolution of Gestalt series, Relational Child, Relational Brain continues the development of the paradigm shift that places human development in a field that is deeply complex and fundamentally one of interconnection, taking us away from the limiting view of us as separate individuals. It builds on the foundation of contemporary views of relational neurodevelopment and the profound influence of relationship on brain growth. It shows how, particularly in the first two years of life, but continuing across the whole of childhood and adolescence into early adulthood, the relational field is the context of child development. The focus then broadens out to examine the intersubjective influence of community, culture, and social and physical support. Backed by neurobiological and related research, it offers many examples of relational Gestalt practice with children, adolescents, and their families, with stories of loss, trauma, isolation, and other adversities. Not just an invaluable resource for child and adolescent therapists, Relational Child, Relational Brain goes beyond the Esalen Study Conference from which it emerged and is a further invitation and challenge to apply relational Gestalt practice as a coherent and effective way forward in the troubled world of today.

Captioning and Subtitling for d/Deaf and Hard of Hearing Audiences is a comprehensive guide to the theory and practice of captioning and subtitling, a discipline that has evolved quickly in recent years. This guide is of a practical nature and contains examples and exercises at the end of each chapter. Some of the tasks stimulate reflection on the practice and reception, while others focus on particular captioning and SDH areas, such as paralinguistic features, music and sound effects. The requirements of d/Deaf and hard of hearing audiences are analysed in detail and are accompanied by linguistic and technical considerations. These considerations, though shared with generic subtitling parameters, are discussed specifically with d/Deaf and hard of hearing audiences in mind. The reader will become familiar with the characteristics of d/Deaf and hard of hearing audiences, and the diversity – including cultural and linguistic differences – within this group of people. Based on first-hand experience in the field, the book also provides a step-by-step guide to making live performances accessible to d/Deaf and hard of hearing audiences. As well as exploring all linguistic and technical matters related to the creation of captions, aspects related to the overall set up of the captioned performance are discussed. The guide will be valuable reading to students of audiovisual translation at undergraduate and postgraduate level, to professional subtitlers and captioners, and to any organisation or venue that engages with d/Deaf and hard of hearing people.

An in-depth look at the religious life of the most powerful figure in recent British history "I have always believed in God... but [one that] I had become slightly detached from. I could not make sense of God. Peter Thompson and later John Burton made God relevant, practical rather than theological. religion for me became less of a personal relationship with God. I began to see religion more as a social context." - Tony Blair These words of Tony Blair's are revealing. His political life was always motivated by a profound sense of mission, which was fundamentally religious. Through encounters with the Australian Anglican priest at Oxford, Peter Thompson, Blair came to understand the history and continuing purpose of Christian socialism. His most important intellectual influence was the philosopher John MacMurray, whose writings Blair devoured. But it was through the author of this book, John Burton, that Blair came to understand the application of Christian socialist principles in action. The influence of his wife Cherie Booth's Catholicism also had a profound influence on Blair. Interviews with Cherie reveal her role in shaping his religious world view. Bill and Hilary Clinton are also shown to have played a formative role in Blair's ideological makeup. Blair's work in the Middle East may become the final and triumphant expression of his moral and religious principles. Many will find this hard to swallow in the light of Blair's actions in the Middle East whilst in office. Whatever viewpoint one takes on this complex moral issue, John Burton helps us to understand more deeply one of the most successful but enigmatic prime ministers of the post war years.
