This volume outlines the scientific basis and historical development of these approaches, and reviews why abstinence-based approaches often do not work. The authors then share their expertise about harm reduction treatment (HaRT), an empirically based approach co-developed with community members impacted by substance-related harm – a first of its kind. The reader learns in detail about the pragmatic mindset and compassionate heartset of HaRT and the three treatment components: measurement and tracking of patient-preferred substance-related metrics, harm-reduction goal setting and achievement, and discussion of safer-use strategies. In addition, the book provides example scripts for use in daily practice.

        by Lido Loschi

        Cambeva's workshop is the first of four books of the collection "Presente de Vô" in partnership with Grupo Ponto de Partida. The book is a mixture of colours and elements that highlight the memory of the world, in which seekers of memories have the mission of bringing light and life to objects found in the travels of two characters: Zalém and Calunga. Cambeva is a restorer who, when the world lost its embrace, tried to reinvent it; he is the grandfather who mends dreams, forgotten things and lost emotions, to whom the seekers ask for help to fix something. In a magical universe, full of children, grandchildren, stories and memories of his lineage of restorers, when faced with this request for restoration, he makes room to bring back an emblematic figure who can no longer sing. A story about memories, care and affection...

        Lady Susan

        Ein Roman in Briefen

        by Jane Austen, Angelika Beck

        Die attraktive Lady Susan sorgt für Aufregung in der Gesellschaft: Frisch verwitwet, weiß sie ihre Reize nur zu gut einzusetzen und kokettiert bereits wieder mit ihren Verehrern. Gerüchte über angebliche Affären machen die Runde. Um den Gerede zu entgehen zieht sie sich auf das Anwesen ihres Bruders zurück. Dort kann sie ihren Plan in Ruhe weiterverfolgen: einen neuen wohlhabenden Ehemann zu finden. Objekt ihrer Begierde ist der adrette Reginald DeCourcy, der jüngere Bruder ihrer Schwägerin. Es werden fleißig Intrigen gesponnen, um unliebsame Konkurrentinnen aus dem Feld zu schlagen. Doch als eines Tages ihre Tochter Frederica auftaucht, geraten Lady Susans Pläne in Gefahr. Hatte sie für die Tochter doch den reichen, recht einfältigen Sir James Martin auserwählt, was der allerdings überhaupt nicht passt … Lady Susan war Jane Austens erster Roman; er wurde erst posthum veröffentlicht. Nicht minder amüsant, doch viel scharfzüngiger als in ihren großen Romanen erzählt die beliebte Autorin von amourösen und gesellschaftlichen Verwicklungen.

        by Felipe Valério
