Unraveling trauma in the body, brain and mind—a revolution in treatment. Now in 17 languages. In this culmination of his life’s work, Peter A. Levine draws on his broad experience as a clinician, a student of comparative brain research, a stress scientist and a keen observer of the naturalistic animal world to explain the nature and transformation of trauma in the body, brain and psyche. In an Unspoken Voice is based on the idea that trauma is neither a disease nor a disorder, but rather an injury caused by fright, helplessness and loss that can be healed by engaging our innate capacity to self-regulate high states of arousal and intense emotions. Enriched with a coherent theoretical framework and compelling case examples, the book elegantly blends the latest findings in biology, neuroscience and body-oriented psychotherapy to show that when we bring together animal instinct and reason, we can become more whole human beings.

Levine shares his personal journey to heal his own severe childhood trauma as well as offering profound insights into the evolution of his innovative trauma healing method. Casting himself as a modern-day Chiron, the wounded healer of Greek mythology, Dr. Levine describes, in graphic detail, the violence of his childhood juxtaposed with specific happy and exuberant memories, which helped him prepare for coming to terms with his horrifying experiences. He shares his inner experience of being guided through Somatic Experiencing (SE) to illuminate and untangle his traumatic wounds and describes the mysterious and unexpected dreams and visions that have guided him through his life's work. Exploring his dream visitations from Albert Einstein in depth, he explains how he came to view Einstein as his personal spirit guide and mentor and how he later discovered his own personal and profound real-life connection to him through his mother.

In Trauma and Memory, bestselling author Dr. Peter Levine (creator of the Somatic Experiencing approach) tackles one of the most difficult and controversial questions of PTSD/trauma therapy: Can we trust our memories? While some argue that traumatic memories are unreliable and not useful, others insist that we absolutely must rely on memory to make sense of past experience. Building on his 45 years of successful treatment of trauma and utilizing case studies from his own practice, Dr. Levine suggests that there are elements of truth in both camps. While acknowledging that memory can be trusted, he argues that the only truly useful memories are those that might initially seem to be the least reliable: memories stored in the body and not necessarily accessible by our conscious mind.While much work has been done in the field of trauma studies to address "explicit" traumatic memories in the brain (such as intrusive thoughts or flashbacks), much less attention has been paid to how the body itself stores "implicit" memory, and how much of what we think of as "memory" actually comes to us through our (often unconsciously accessed) felt sense.

Tato kniha je vyvrcholením autorovi celoživotní práce. Peter A. Levine objasňuje podstatu transformace traumatu v těle, mysli a psychice. Čerpá při tom z bohatých zkušeností z klinické praxe, komparativních studií mozku, vlastního bádání v oblasti stresu a pečlivého pozorování zvířecího světa. Kniha Němé zpovědi vychází z myšlenky, že trauma není ani onemocnění, ani porucha, nýbrž zranění způsobené pocity děsu, bezmoci a ztráty, zranění, které je možné zhojit, zapojíme-li naši vrozenou schopnost samoregulace silně vybuzených a emocionálních stavů. Kniha, která navíc poskytuje i přehledný teoretický rámec, elegantně mísí nejnovější poznatky z biologie, neurovědy a bodyterapií, aby dokázala, že když v sobě propojíme zvířecí instinkt a rozum, můžeme se stát celistvějšími lidskými bytostmi.

Základní pravda, kterou autoři v knize přinášejí, je, že dospělí mají nejprve věnovat pozornost vlastnímu emočnímu stavu, protože děti mohou uvolnit své napětí pouze v přítomnosti klidného, schopného a konejšivého dospělého. To, kdo jsme, je důležitější než to, co děláme. Přesněji řečeno, to, kdo jsme tváří v tvář znepokojivé situaci, ovlivní podobu i následky toho, co děláme. Levine a Klineová nám dávají příležitost naučit se léčit trauma tím, že budeme následovat toho nejlepšího učitele: naše vlastní tělo a pocity. Techniky "prevence" traumatu, které Levine a Klineová v této knize přinášejí, jsou dokonalé svou moudrostí a jednoduchostí, pozorností k detailu, tím, jak postupujeme krok za krokem, a jasnými principy toho, jak jich použít. Autoři dbají na to, aby byly tyto principy využívány praktickým způsobem tak, aby mohly být naplněny specifické potřeby dětí v různých stádiích vývoje, od raného dětství po dospívání.

Máte zdánlivě bezdůvodné příznaky? Příčinou může být trauma z minulosti. Vědecké studie ukazují, že lidé, kteří přežili nehody, přírodní katastrofy nebo traumata v dětství, často trpí dlouhodobými příznaky od úzkostí a depresí přes nevysvětlitelné bolesti a únavu, až po různé druhy onemocnění a psychického "odehrávání". Terapeuti a klienti jak na poli bodyworku, tak v oblasti psychoterapie se dnes stále častěji obracejí k somatickému prožívání, revoluční metodě Petera A. Levina, která jim umožňuje tyto výzvy překonat. Kniha Léčba traumatu je "návodem k použití" teorie, kterou Dr. Levine poprvé představil ve svém celosvětově proslulém díle Probouzení tygra (Maitrea, 2011). Dozvíte se, jak můžete díky rozvoji vědomí vlastního těla "znovuvyjednat" svá traumata tím, že je nahlédnete, nikoli tím, že je znovu prožijete. Osvojíte si základy "první pomoci" pro případy nouze a na příkladech ze světa zvířat odhalíte fyziologické kořeny svých emocí. "Trauma je nevyhnutelným životním faktem," konstatuje Dr. Levine, "nemusí být ale doživotním trestem." Tento praktický manuál vás naučí základům sebeléčebné metody, která sleduje příznaky traumatu až k jejich skrytému zdroji v těle a vrací tak lidem jejich ztracenou přirozenost.

In this witty and incisive memoir, Suzanne Jill Levine – winner of the 2024 PEN/Ralph Manheim Award for Translation – establishes a new way of writing about a translator’s life. Levine is a living legend in the translation world who credits her good fortune as a young translator to being in the right place at the right time: beginning in the era of the Cuban revolution, with growing interest in Latin America and its writers, and unfolding in New York City in the turbulent 1960s and 1970s and beyond. In Unfaithful: A Translator''s Memoir, Levine interweaves her personal history and translation history in an important period. Levine analyzes how her openness to another culture and new experiences, along with a knack for translating the most difficult Latin American novels and positive interactions with her authors, took her from a modest New York background into a whole new literary and linguistic world. She also writes about how her friendship and then long relationship with Uruguayan writer and intellectual Emir Rodríguez Monegal helped her develop her career, and how translating creatively subversive Guillermo Cabrera Infante and Manuel Puig – taking on the task of making spoken Cuban and Argentine into a new ...

To his academic critics, he reduced French philosophy to ‘little more than an object of ridicule’.

Twenty-six centuries ago, the Buddha fleshed out the universal law of the spiritual realm: karma, which holds that our actions, our words, and even our thoughts inevitably produce effects that return to us in some form — in this lifetime or a future one. In The Beginner’s Guide to Karma, Lama Lhanang Rinpoche and Mordy Levine encourage readers to forget what they’ve heard about karma and look at the subject afresh. Delving into Buddhist scripture and tradition, the authors give a comprehensive overview that incorporates psychology, ethics, and metaphysics. Using everyday language and real-life examples, they clear away myths, illustrate how karma works in daily life, and offer practices to build positive karma. The Beginner’s Guide to Karma neatly sums up the Buddhist worldview and makes a compelling case for a way of being that nurtures compassion, joy, and inner peace in an uncertain world.

This book presents Nonviolent Resistance (NVR) for trauma-focused care, adopting a systemic and trauma-orientated approach to aggressive and self-destructive behaviours in young people. Based on systemic therapy methods and principles in socio-political NVR, NVR targets aggressive and self-destructive child behaviours in a relational way to help parents develop self-efficacy in responding to the problematic behaviour and grow a supportive community around the family. In this book, Peter Jakob integrates the original NVR model with aspects of trauma and attachment theory, solution-focused therapy and narrative therapy, in order to expand the efficacy of NVR in trauma-focused work. Grounded in JakobÂ’s extensive clinical experience and research, the book will help the reader navigate the complexity of working across various systems in family therapy and counselling, particularly within challenging contexts such as multi-stressed families, adoptive families, foster- and residential care. Method descriptions and illustrative case examples are featured throughout the chapters to ultimately help readers contribute to their clientsÂ’ (re)discovery of their internal and interpersonal resources and ultimately promote healing from trauma for everyone involved. This text is an essential resource for a wide variety of mental health professionals, social workers and family workers, as well as caregivers and managers in residential care.

An illustrated study of the ongoing career of the iconic B-52, chronicling its frontline service after Operation Desert Storm in 1991.First flown in 1955, the B-52 has become an icon of deterrence and the long reach of American air power. The aircraft was conceived as a long-range nuclear bomber, but its versatility saw it used as a heavy-weight ‘bomb truck’ in Vietnam and a launcher of stand-off air-to-ground missiles during Operation Desert Storm. Following the First Gulf War, B-52s have continued to see combat, undertaking close air support missions during patrols above Al-Qaeda insurgents and Taliban forces in Afghanistan from 2001–03 for example, and have upheld their reputation as America’s ‘Big Stick’ by acting as a deterrent in situations such as the Chinese friction with Taiwan in 2023.In this illustrated volume, combat aircraft expert Peter E Davies draws on fresh research and first-hand accounts to tell the story of the later career of this iconic and enduring aircraft, examining its service from Operation Desert Storm onwards.

The kinetic century, from Takis to Kentridge Ever since electricity became ubiquitous artists have been fascinated by the manifold possibilities to create works with it. The catalogue Kinetismus: 100 Years of Electricity in Art, which accompanies the opening exhibition of Kunsthalle Praha, explores how electricity has transformed artistic practice from 1920 to the present day, including cinematography, sound, kinetic and mechanical sculptures, computer-based art and immersive installations. A historical perspective emphasizes the fact that electricity, with its various usages—from artificial light to computing—has become a defining element of our societies. Kinetismus: 100 Years of Electricity in Art includes an essay by Peter Weibel, the author of the exhibition concept, four thematic chapters written by the co-curator Lívia Nolasco-Rózsás as well as descriptions and reproductions of key artworks by artists, such as Mary Ellen Bute, William Kentridge, Christina Kubish, Zdeněk Pešánek, Anna Ridler, Nicolas Schöffer, Jeffrey Shaw, Takis, Steina, and Woody Vasulka.

The mother of God is often portrayed as a passive figure, yet Mary is described in Luke's gospel as a woman who exercised choice, questioned things, reflected, responded, spoke up, and demonstrated great faith. Mary had a voice.

Hipolito-Delgado introduce readers to Transformative Student Voice (TSV), a framework that promotes student agency and activism through youth-adult partnerships, with tangible outcomes for school improvement.

The collection includes that first story that launched his story-writing career as well as three new stories exclusive to this volume.

Explore the concept of compassion as it applies to the field of healthcare and improving patient outcomes An Introduction to Compassion in Healthcare Practice identifies the core components of being compassionate and self-compassionate, so that we may be in a better position to attend to our health and to engage in helping others.

This is addressed by reviewing compassion in a range of contexts and environments, including through an evolutionary science perspective.
