Addressing everything a new trainee needs to know and do in a way that is entirely accessible and jargon-free, this book: provides a short history of the existential tradition; puts key concepts into contexts, showing how theory translates into practice; discusses issues in the therapeutic process.
This textbook reviews for the first time the thinking of six major existential philosophers; Søren Kierkegaard, Friedrich Nietzsche, Martin Heidegger, Jean-Paul Sartre, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and Simone de Beauvoir with respect to their ideas about human development. Martin Adams presents a philosophical and psychological analysis, and critically evaluates the different ways that existential philosophy can illuminate the way we all strive for meaning and purpose in life. Written in a detailed, well-structured manner, this text offers a fundamentally different way to understand not only life in general but the practice of psychotherapy in particular.
What if we lived in a world where everyone had enough? A world where everyone mattered and where people lived in harmony with nature? What if the solution to our economic, social, and ecological problems was right underneath our feet? Land has been sought after throughout human history. Even today, people struggle to get onto the property ladder and view real estate as an important way to build wealth. Yet, as the reader will discover through this book, the act of owning land—and our urge to profit from it—causes economic booms and busts, social and cultural decline, and environmental devastation. Land: A New Paradigm for a Thriving World introduces a radically new economic model that ensures a more fair and abundant reality for everyone. It is a book for those who dream of a better world, for themselves and future generations. Table of Contents Introduction Part I: The Cost of Ignorance 1. The Production of Wealth 2.

Successful Transformation from Silo to Value Chain
DevOps is on everyone's lips. It is often presented in a very technical way, whether in terms of the methods and frameworks to be used or in terms of techniques and development frameworks. Martin J. Adams is a proven expert on agile approaches, especially on the topics of "leadership" and "organizational development". In this volume, he presents the most important methods in the context of DevOps and the resulting measures and methods for leaders who want to support their teams in being successful with DevOps and thus make a valuable contribution to the success of the company.
Erfolgreiche Transformation vom Silo zur Wertschöpfungskette
DevOps ist in aller Munde. Oft wird es sehr technisch dargestellt, sei es in Hinblick auf die einzusetzenden Methoden und Frameworks oder auch in Hinblick auf Techniken und Entwicklungs-Frameworks. Martin J. Adams ist ausgewiesener Fachmann für agile Vorgehensweisen, speziell zu den Themenbereichen "Führung" und "Organisationsentwicklung". Im vorliegenden Band stellt er die wichtigsten Methoden im Kontext von DevOps und die sich daraus ergebenden Maßnahmen und Methoden für Führungspersonen dar, welche ihre Teams dabei unterstützen wollen, mit DevOps erfolgreich zu sein und damit einen wertvollen Beitrag zum Unternehmenserfolg zu leisten.
Die Waltroper Stadtmaler (2019), Florian Söll und Beth Adams-Ray erarbeiteten mit den Schülern der Gesamtschule Waltrop große Bildtafeln. Sie zeigen die Tiere dicht gedrängt in Noahs Arche. Der Katalog erscheint anläßlich der Präsentation der Bilder im Kunstraum Norten der Norten-Stiftung in Gelsenkirchen. (Nov. 22 - April 23) Die 12 Bildflächen im Format 3 x 3 Meter (Motiert auf schwarzem Stoff) wurden im November 2019 im Kulturforum Kapelle in Waltrop gezeigt. Der Katalog zeigt alle Bildtafeln.
