Integrating Nutrition Into Mental Health Care
by Ruth Leyse WallaceMental health counselors, psychologists, social workers, and psychiatrists realize that nutrition may be a factor in their clients’ mental health, but a lack of nutritional science background and resources makes it difficult for them to incorporate nutrition into the care they provide. Likewise, registered dietitian nutritionists, new to the field of mental health care (whether in a facility or in private practice), may feel the need for succinct resources geared to this area of nutritional care. Integrating Nutrition into Mental Health Care illuminates the intersection between nutrition and mental health, bridging the gap for professionals in both fields.It presents resources in areas such as caffeine intake, family history of a genetically transmitted nutrition-related condition, interpretation of laboratory nutritional assessment, and safe upper limits of supplements, as well as additional nutrition factors, helping practitioners easily incorporate selected nutritional aspects into the mental health care of clients. The book includes sample forms for office use and instructions to interpret client information. They can be easily downloaded and printed from the Routledge book page. Additional forms available help in facilitating referral to a registered dietician nutrtionist (RDN) for a deeper look at individual patient’s nutritional issues.To offer further information on nutrition and metal health, the text features a series of short fictional, but real-life, nutrition stories. These stories provide an enjoyable format in which to train, or test, the reader’s knowledge.
Multilateral Environmental Agreements in Global Governance: Organisational Dynamics and Authority Expansion (Routledge Research in Global Environmental Governance)
by Linda Maria SpielmannThis book proposes a conceptualisation of Multilateral Environmental Agreements as a form of International Organisations, exploring the ways in which they have expanded over time by discussing the nuances of authority in global governance.Multilateral Environmental Agreements are the key type of cooperation between states to address environmental concerns globally. While their activities regularly attract much attention from an academic and non-academic audience, their peculiar hybrid nature in-between treaties and full-fledged International Organisations, means they are often underestimated. This book proposes a new and innovative conceptualisation of Multilateral Environmental Agreements as a specific type of International Organisation which allows for a more accurate understanding of their dynamic nature, and uncovers expansive tendencies which have so far gone almost completely unnoticed. Based on a modern understanding of authority in global governance, the book shows how Multilateral Environmental Agreements represent a separate entity, and expand beyond the boundaries originally set by their member states. The book draws upon the neo-functionalist concept of spillover, as well as multiple other theoretical frameworks, to identify the two main drivers of expansion in Multilateral Environmental Agreements. To illustrate these drivers, the empirical chapters conduct six structured case studies, analysing specific cases of authority expansion in ozone and climate protection, including the Green Climate Fund under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. Overall, this book offers an invaluable contribution to the theoretical discussion on informal types of organisations, and provides new and extensive empirical insights into unexpected past and recent developments in global environmental governance.As such, this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of International Relations and International Law who focus on informal types of cooperation and legislation, dynamic institutional development, and international environmental politics generally.

Cybersecurity Culture
by Gulsebnem BishopThe culture of cybersecurity is a complex subject. We can look at cybersecurity culture from different perspectives. We can look at it from the organizational point of view or from within the culture. Each organization has a culture. Attitudes toward security have different manifestations in each organizational culture. We also see how the cybersecurity phenomenon unfolds in other cultures is complicated. Each culture reacts differently to this phenomenon. This book will emphasize both aspects of cybersecurity. From the organizational point of view, this book will emphasize the importance of the culture of cybersecurity in organizations, what it is, and how it can be achieved. This includes the human aspects of security, approach and awareness, and how we can design systems that promote the culture of security. It is also important to emphasize the psychological aspects briefly because it is a big part of the human approach.From a cultural point of view, this book will emphasize how different cultures approach the culture of cybersecurity. The cultural complexity of cybersecurity will be noted by giving examples from different cultures. How leadership in different cultures approach security and how different cultures approach change. Case studies from each culture will be presented to demonstrate different approaches to implementing security and training practices. Overall, the textbook will be a good resource for cybersecurity students who want to understand how cultures and organizations within those cultures approach security. It will also provide a good resource for instructors who would like to develop courses on cybersecurity culture.Finally, this book will be an introductory resource for anyone interested in cybersecurity's organizational or cultural aspects.
CoDesign: People, Participation, Practice
by Simone Taffe Meghan KellyCoDesign: People, Participation, Practice explores the past, present, trends, and future potential of codesign and participatory practices globally. Rooted in participatory design traditions, the book emphasizes the importance of inclusivity in the creation of systems, products, services, and technologies, offering a fresh perspective on codesign’s dynamic, multifaceted nature. Drawing on interviews with leading scholars and real-world case studies, it examines how collaboration among designers, academics, students, and industry partners leads to successful outcomes.The book identifies three core themes – People, Participation, and Practice – each unpacked into subthemes. People focusses on engaging and facilitating stakeholders; Participation explores power dynamics and politics; and Practice addresses how infrastructure constraints – such as time, budget, and context – shape the codesign process. The codesign process is organized into eight phases – funding, arranging, preparing, workshopping, translating, testing, executing, and evaluating – providing a structured framework for understanding how projects unfold. The themes under the core elements – People, Participation, and Practices – serve as adjustable ‘levers’ to address project challenges and guide change. These levers encourage reflection on roles, power dynamics, and decision-making to ensure alignment with goals. CoDesign: People, Participation, Practice concludes with a CoDesign Terminology Toolkit, clarifying essential terms to improve communication and foster understanding across the field.This comprehensive resource serves as a valuable guide for practitioners, students, and researchers, supporting the ongoing development of codesign in an ever-evolving world.

Skin Color and Whiteness in Contemporary Art (Routledge Research in Art and Race)
by Helen WestgeestThis study demonstrates the significance of using contemporary art in scholarly debates about cultural aspects of skin, in particular “whiteness” as a phenomenon that is both overly visible and invisible.There is a need for a study of these artists’ strategies, which consist of drawing attention to whiteness by means of making whiteness “strange” through alternative visibilities. By increasing skin awareness, the selected socio-critical artworks also pertain to fostering visual literacy as another important contemporary concern. Chapters mainly focus on recent artworks that address ongoing skin-related debates in countries in Europe and North America, rooted in histories of ideology of white supremacy. Moreover, these artworks critically reflect on the alleged superiority of the history of Western European painting, including a focus on the representation of pale skin as model of beauty.The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, race and ethnicity studies, and cultural studies.
A Creative Health Communication Framework: Addressing the Compatibility and Marketability of Mental Health and Wellbeing Services (Explorations in Mental Health)
by Jane HearstThis groundbreaking volume offers a theoretical, practical, and evidence-based approach to bridging the gap between service-users, -providers, and -commissioners in order to establish Creative Health as a valued part of healthcare, and a key player in the broader healthcare marketplace.Offering actionable strategies to strengthen interdisciplinary networks and enrich the Creative Health landscape within modern healthcare systems, the book provides a comprehensive analysis of how economic systems, healthcare philosophy, and societal perceptions shape the uptake and effectiveness of Creative Health services.

Isa Genzken: Fuck the Bauhaus (Afterall Books / One Work)
by Andre RottmanA strikingly original analysis of Isa Genzken&’s move towards merging sculptural and architectural morphologies into a trailblazing practice of contemporary assemblage.Fuck the Bauhaus, a series of audacious architectural models for future high-rise buildings in Manhattan, marks a poetic and provocative shift in Isa Genzken&’s artistic oeuvre. Made in the year 2000, out of quotidian objects and cheap materials foraged in the streets and stores of New York, these sculptural assemblages depart from the German artist&’s &‘post-Minimalist&’ works begun in the 1970s. The earlier works conjured the haunting spectres of catastrophe, destruction and failed utopia, as well as the potential for freedom amidst the ruins of post-War reconstruction culture.Analysing Genken&’s post–2000 penchant for appropriation, collage and montage, André Rottmann draws on the writings of Deleuze and Guattari, Bruno Latour and other theorists of "assemblage," to show how her &‘late style&’ is not a return to (neo-)avant-garde traditions but a powerful reimagining of them for the contemporary moment.

Karl Marx and the Actualization of Philosophy
by Christoph SchuringaIt is indisputable that Marx began his intellectual trajectory as a philosopher, but it is often thought that he subsequently turned away from philosophy. In this book, Christoph Schuringa proposes a radically different reading of Marx's intellectual project and demonstrates that from his earliest writings his aim was the 'actualization' of philosophy. Marx, he argues, should be understood not as turning away from philosophy, but as seeking to make philosophy a practical force in the world. By analysing a series of texts from across Marx's output, Schuringa shows that Marx progressively overcame what he called 'self-sufficient philosophy', not in order to leave philosophy behind but to bring it into its own. This involves a major reinterpretation of Marx's relationship to his ancestors Aristotle, Kant and Hegel, and shows that philosophy, as it actualizes itself, far from being merely a body of philosophical doctrine, figures as an instrument of the revolution.
