Audiokniha: „Van der Kolk čerpá z třicetileté zkušenosti v oboru a dokazuje, že trauma je jednou z nejnaléhavějších otázek veřejného zdraví. Kniha plná vědeckých poznatků a lidských příběhů je intenzivním čtením a odolnost jeho pacientů dojímá.“ — New Scientist O knize Trauma nelze obejít. Jeho následky zažívají mnozí – možná vy, možná vaši blízcí. Vždy však ovlivňuje životy všech okolo. A není v silách trpícího, aby projevy v podobě depresí, chronických potíží, alkoholismu, sebepoškozování či pocitů studu a osamělosti zvládl bez pomoci. Bessel van der Kolk popisuje s laskavostí a otevřeností příběhy, s nimiž se setkal v klinické praxi, a dělí se o výsledky svých výzkumů v oblasti terapie posttraumatické poruchy. Prokázal jimi, že zanedbávané či zneužívané děti, účastníci nehod a katastrof, váleční veteráni či oběti násilných činů potřebují víc než medikamenty. Skutečné uzdravení vede přes hledání cesty k sobě samým, k vlastnímu tělu, které si v nekonečné smyčce udržuje otisk prožitého utrpení. I díky van der Kolkově práci se lze vydat na možná dlouhou, ale nadějnou cestu k lepšímu a plnějšímu životu. Mimo jiné se dozvíte: - Trauma negativně ovlivňuje tělo i mozek a mění schopnost zažívat radost, důvěru, ovládat se a vnímat své tělo. - V rozvoji vývojové traumatické poruchy hrají roli geny, hormony i rodičovská péče a láska v prvních letech života. - Sebedestruktivní chování je často vyvoláno snahou znovu cítit a získat kontrolu nad svým životem. - Projevy traumatu často dostávají nálepky nejrůznějších diagnóz, terapie je však neúčinná, pokud neřeší skutečnou podstatu potíží. - Trýznění lidé popírají realitu a oddělují se od ní, aby přežili. Přestávají tak chápat, kým jsou, co cítí a čemu a komu mohou důvěřovat. Autor své pacienty vybízí, aby se zapojili do libovolné formy práce s tělem, která napomáhá obnovení zdravého vztahu k sobě i k druhým. V knize proto najdete doporučení na inovativní léčebné postupy od metod neurofeedbacku přes meditaci až po sport, hudbu, jógu či kurzy herectví. Přístupným způsobem tak dává naději všem, kteří dosud trpěli. O autorovi BESSEL VAN DER KOLK (* 1943) Zakladatel a bývalý lékařský ředitel Kliniky pro léčbu traumatu v Brookline v Mas- sachusetts. Působí také jako profesor psychiatrie na Lékařské fakultě Bostonské univerzity a ředitel Národní sítě pro komplexní léčbu traumatu. Žije v Bostonu. #Řekli o knize „Kniha je plná moudrosti, lidskosti, soucitu a zasvěcených postřehů vycházejících z klinické praxe, výzkumu a poznání v oblasti traumatického stresu. Je to nezbytné čtení pro odborníky na duševní zdraví i zdravotní péči obecně, pro traumatizované lidi a jejich blízké. A také pro všechny, kteří hledají řešení zdravotních či sociálních problémů, s jejichž pomocí by naše společnost mohla vystoupit ze začarovaného kruhu traumatu a násilí.“ — Rachel Yehudová, profesorka v oboru psychiatrie a neurovědy působící na Lékařské fakultě Mount Sinai v New Yorku „Tělo skutečně sčítá rány. Van der Kolkova schopnost to doložit pomocí přesvědčivých příběhů, jeho průkopnické úsilí a zkušenosti s vývojem v oboru i jeho vlastní poznání, a především objevování cest, jak s lidmi účinně pracovat na základě všímavosti k tělu (stejně jako k myšlenkám a emocím) skrze jógu, pohyb a divadlo, znamenají pro svět terapie úžasný a vítaný závan čerstvého větru a možností.“ — Jon Kabat-Zinn, autor knihy Život samá pohroma Citace z knihy „Od počátku 90. let minulého století nám zobrazovací metody mozku umožnily vidět, co se v mozku traumatizovaných osob ve skutečnosti děje. Ukázalo se to jako nezbytnost k pochopení újmy způsobené traumatem a nasměrovalo nás to k vypracování zcela nových způsobů nápravy (…). Zjistili jsme, že trauma není jen určitá událost, která se odehrála v minulosti. Je to rovněž otisk této zkušenosti, který ulpěl v naší mysli, mozku a těle. Tento otisk trvale ovlivňuje způsob, jakým lidský organismus funguje, aby přežil v současnosti. Trauma zásadně mění způsob myšlení a zpracovávání vjemů mozkem. Mění nejen to, jak myslíme a na co myslíme, nýbrž i samotnou schopnost myšlení.“ Více se o knize dozvíte na adrese https://melvil.cz/telo-scita-rany

Trauma nelze obejít – ale lze ho pochopit a léčit. Ve své oceňované knize nabízí Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, přední světový odborník na trauma, hluboký vhled do podstaty posttraumatických potíží a cest k uzdravení. Více než tři desetiletí klinické praxe s oběťmi traumat mu umožnilo formulovat přístup, který dává naději nejen trpícím, ale i jejich blízkým a pečovatelům.Deprese, chronické bolesti, alkoholismus, sebepoškozování, obezita, stud a osamělost – následky traumatu mají mnoho podob a ovlivňují nejen jednotlivce, ale celé jejich okolí. Van der Kolk s empatií popisuje příběhy pacientů i výsledky svých výzkumů a dokládá, že skutečné uzdravení vyžaduje víc než léky. Cesta vede skrze znovunavázání kontaktu se sebou samým a vlastním tělem, které si nese otisk prožitého utrpení.V knize se mimo jiné dozvíte: Prožité trauma mění fungování mozku, schopnost ovládat se, zažívat radost, potěšení a důvěru. Vývojová traumata jsou ovlivněna geny, hormony i ranou rodičovskou péčí. Traumata často maskují psychiatrické diagnózy – terapie musí řešit jejich skutečný původ. Sebe-destruktivní chování je často zoufalým pokusem znovu cítit a získat kontrolu nad vlastním životem. Trýznění lidé se často odpojují od reality, což narušuje jejich identitu i schopnost důvěřovat. Výběr terapeuta je klíčový – kdy zapojit zvířecí asistenci, například psího parťáka? Druhá část knihy se věnuje inovativním přístupům v léčbě traumatu. Autor doporučuje práci s tělem jako prostředek k obnově zdravého vztahu k sobě i ostatním. Najdete zde metody jako: neurofeedback, hypnóza, meditace jóga, tanec, sport, hudba psaní, herecké kurzy a další tvůrčí formy vyjádření Trauma zažíváme všichni – je součástí lidského bytí. Ale cesta k uzdravení existuje. A právě tato kniha je její spolehlivý a laskavý průvodce.„Přečtěte si životní příběh kteréhokoli vizionáře – Oprah Winfreyové, Mayi Angelouové, Nelsona Mandely nebo Elieho Wiesela – a naleznete v něm zkušenost s traumatem, která utvářela jejich sílu a odvahu měnit svět.“

King Charles II was the father of fourteen illegitimate children (if not more) by seven mistresses. Ironically, his marriage to Queen Catherine, a Portuguese princess, proved childless. The eldest and most notable of his children, James, duke of Monmouth, was effectively excluded from the line of succession. After his father’s death the duke launched an armed challenge for the crown against his uncle, then James II, but was defeated at the battle of Sedgemoor and executed. Some of Charles s other sons, notably Henry, duke of Grafton, Charles, duke of St Albans, and the youngest, Charles, duke of Richmond, took part in military and naval campaigns at home and overseas. Some of his daughters married into various branches of the British aristocracy—though not without occasional scandal—while one married a composer and another took holy orders. In the context of the relaxed morals of the Restoration court, this biography examines the sometimes poorly documented lives of each of Charles’s children, their personal relations with each other, their places in English history, their love affairs, and the lines of descent through which several key figures of the modern British royal family can trace their lineage.

But all is upended when her brother Louis delivers his graceless new girlfriend, Eva, at Isabel s doorstep-as a guest, there to stay for the season... Eva is Isabel s antithesis: sleeps late, wakes late, walks loudly through the house and touches things she shouldn t.In response Isabel develops a fury-fuelled obsession, and when things start disappearing around the house-a spoon, a knife, a bowl-Isabel suspicions spiral out of control. In the sweltering peak of summer, Isabel s paranoia gives way to desire - leading to a discovery that unravels all Isabel has ever known.

Vincent Kompany, a man whose talent and leadership skills continue to impress the footballing world, already has a statue honouring him outside Manchester City s Etihad Stadium - a rare tribute earned for his total commitment to victory.

The author, Frank Van de Winkel, speaks to Vincent s family, his early-years teachers and coaches, fans of the football teams he has played for and managed, as well as those involved in his charitable work in Belgium and Democratic Republic of Congo, and paints a vivid picture of a deep-thinking, compassionate human who has been able to maximise his talents both on and off the pitch. Vincent s coaching and managerial career sees him destined to reach the pinnacle of his profession - just as he did as a player. Gaining invaluable experience back at Anderlecht saw him move, unexpectedly, to Burnley, where he set about revolutionising a functional style of play, with his side emerging as a run-away success story in the English Championship, and The Clarets returning to the Premier League and regaining their place at the top table. Kompany will have gained invaluable experience from a campaign of struggle and his reputation looks to have survived relegation unblemished. Vincent Kompany s star continues to rise regardless and his appointment as head coach at Bayern Munich marks a game-changing moment in a career that never ceases to amaze.

With Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead, Man Booker International Prize-winner Olga Tokarczuk returns with a subversive, entertaining noir novel. In a remote Polish village, Janina Duszejko, an eccentric woman in her sixties, recounts the events surrounding the disappearance of her two dogs. She is reclusive, preferring the company of animals to people; she s unconventional, believing in the stars; and she is fond of the poetry of William Blake, from whose work the title of the book is taken.When members of a local hunting club are found murdered, Duszejko becomes involved in the investigation. By no means a conventional crime story, this existential thriller by one of Europe s major humanist writers (Guardian) offers thought-provoking ideas on our perceptions of madness, injustice against marginalized people, animal rights, the hypocrisy of traditional religion, belief in predestination - and caused a genuine political uproar in Tokarczuk s native Poland.

Stephen King s bestselling unsolved mystery, THE COLORADO KID -- inspiration for the TV series HAVEN -- returns to bookstores for the first time in 10 years in an all-new illustrated edition.On an island off the coast of Maine, a man is found dead. There s no identification on the body. Only the dogged work of a pair of local newspapermen and a graduate student in forensics turns up any clues, and it s more than a year before the man is identified. And that s just the beginning of the mystery. Because the more they learn about the man and the baffling circumstances of his death, the less they understand. Was it an impossible crime? Or something stranger still...? No one but Stephen King could tell this story about the darkness at the heart of the unknown and our compulsion to investigate the unexplained. With echoes of Dashiell Hammett s THE MALTESE FALCON and the work of Graham Greene, one of the world s great storytellers presents a moving and surprising tale whose subject is nothing less than the nature of mystery itself...

It was exactly eleven am, as if she had been waiting by thephone for an appointed hour, following someone else s orders to the letter. What, d you think we re a troupe of brothers? There is only me. It s mid-September, a heatwave has descended on the parched hills of LA and Private Detective Philip Marlowe is called to the Montgomery estate, an almost mythic place sitting high on top of Beverly Hills. Wealthy twenty-two-year-old Chrissie Montgomery, set to inherit an enormous fortune, is missing. She s a walking target, ripe for someone to get their claws into. Her dying father, along with his sultry bottle blonde girlfriend, wants her found before that happens. They ve hired Anna Riorden, Marlowe s nemesis, too. The search takes them to the roughest neighbourhoods of LA through dive bars and Skid Row. And that s before he finds the body at The Brody Hotel. Who will get to her first, Marlowe, Anne, or the men chasing her fortune? And does she want to be found?Discover the rest of the inimitable Philip Marlowe series - nine classic Chandler adventures, from The Big Sleep to The Long Goodbye, available now in paperback and eBook from Penguin Books.______________________________Readers love The Second Murderer: I must congratulate Denise Mina for bravely stepping into the shoes of Raymond Chandler and continuing the tales of the much loved Philip Marlowe... I think the author has done a great job capturing the essence of Marlowe such as his duelling dialogue with other characters or his descriptions of the heat soaked LA landscape in midsummer. The Chandler sarcastic humour is also present....one line I cant seem to find but from memory was something like... this place was so sleazy even the rats had to wipe their feet on the way out . Brilliant! I encourage all fans of the genre to read this book. It is very well written and much like Chandlers books, the descriptions are so vivid you feel you are in each scene.

I think the author has done a great job capturing the essence of Marlowe such as his duelling dialogue with other characters or his descriptions of the heat soaked LA landscape in midsummer. The Chandler sarcastic humour is also present....one line I cant seem to find but from memory was something like... this place was so sleazy even the rats had to wipe their feet on the way out . Brilliant! I encourage all fans of the genre to read this book. It is very well written and much like Chandlers books, the descriptions are so vivid you feel you are in each scene.
