This chapter discusses the importance of social contexts and looks at a number of available examples of research evidence. These evidences are rooted in particular cultural understandings and empirical work that are based in New World and European societies. One reason why social contexts are important in understanding bereavement is that the lives of young people are embedded in networks of relationships, circumstances, and social contexts. Thus, full attention should be given to such cultural and social issues to attain a high level of understanding of a child's bereavement experiences.Less

This introductory chapter discusses the Hogarth Press, the publishing company owned by Leonard and Virginia Woolf, first examining the birth and evolution of the Hogarth Press along with a number of other presses of the early twentieth century. It identifies 1922 as the turning point of the future of the Press and explains the rationale behind a focus on the outputs and the network of relationships surrounding the Press. The chapter then places the current study in terms of work conducted in the field of modernist publishing, specifically in terms of the modernist periodical, and finally discusses a network approach that can be used to study the modernist or small press.Less

The functional dialectic system approach to therapy has been widely embraced and is now used internationally, with individuals and couples as well as with families. It differs substantially from the common psychotherapeutic models that have prevailed in the West for more than a century. According to the system model, an individual who is in treatment is not considered to be the primary focus of interest but is seen instead as part of a social context, the network of relationships that play significant roles in his or her life. This book offers a view of the contemporary system approach—from theory to practice—and shows how it can be applied to a variety of psychological problems and in a variety of therapeutic modes. The system approach to therapy concentrates on the present situation of a client, aware that people are always in transition yet seeking order, safety, belonging, and identity. Their behavior is thus goal oriented and functional. The principles of dialectics assert that everything includes its opposite, that there is an ongoing conflict between the poles, and that this inevitable conflict creates pressure that leads to a continuous alteration. These principles show how the system approach is optimistic in its orientation and is designed to help clients change their lives by broadening their understanding of themselves, their situations, and their options.Less
