Autism is a childhood condition ... right? Not right. Children with autism grow into adults with autism. The great strides we have made in understanding childhood autistic behaviors and interventions have lagged dramatically behind the needs of aging autistics. What of the young adult trying to build relationships? What of the middle aged autistic adult who has been misdiagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and lacks an effective treatment plan? What of the aging adult who is showing increasingly rigid autistic behaviors and is misdiagnosed as having frontotemporal dementia??Understanding Autism in Adults and Aging Adults is a one-of-a-kind resource designed to improve the correct diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder in adults. Filled with clinical stories that bring to life the concepts discussed, the book provides strategy-based interventions to address issues of personal and household management, medical care, communication, sensory processing symptoms, and emotional and behavioral regulation.

Larisa Renar scrie ?ntr-un mod u?or ?i natural ?ntr-o lume, unde for?ele ?i undele energetice nu joac? un rol mai pu?in important dec?t cursul valutar, unde rela?iile nu se formeaz? pur ?i simplu, ci se construiesc cu iscusin??, conform unor legi psihologice, ?i unde legendele cap?t? un sens real.Practicile energetice ale femeilor sunt pentru prima dat? prezentate ?ntr-un mod at?t de fascinant ?i ?ntr-un sistem deosebit de eficient.

Sarcina nu este o boalǎ ?n timpul cǎreia trebuie sǎ stai la pat. Pentru majoritatea femeilor aceasta reprezintǎ o stare normalǎ, armonioasǎ, at?t pentru corp, c?t ?i pentru suflet. Asta ?nseamnǎ cǎ lini?tea absolutǎ va aduce numai daune! Pe de altǎ parte, efortul fizic din aceastǎ perioadǎ trebuie sǎ fie chibzuit ?i sǎ influen?eze ?n mod pozitiv asupra stǎrii dumneavoastrǎ ?i a sǎnǎtǎ?ii copilului, at?t ?n timpul sarcinii ?i ?n momentul na?terii, c?t ?i dupǎ. Activitatea ?n mod regulat v? va ajuta corpul s???i recapete puterea ?i tonusul, iar mintea s? se relaxeze ?i s? fac? fa?? c?t mai bine posibil noilor griji. ?i cel mai important este s? re?ine?i c? a fi mam? ?nseamn? s? ar??i ?i mai bine, s? fii ?i mai ?n?eleapt?, mai puternic?, mai activ?, s? ?tii din ce ?n ce mai multe ?i s? ?n?elegi tot ce exist? ?n lume! Aceste este un rol complex al vie?ii, dar incredibil de interesant ?i profund, ce necesit? un consum mare de energie ?i putere, care trebuie cumva compensate! ?i ce ne poate revigora mai bine dec?t gimnastica, somnul ?i plimb?rile ?n aer liber? De aceea nu lenevi?i, m?mici tinere, deoarece acum nu trebuie s? ave?i grij? de propria persoan? ?i de siluet? doar pentru voi, dar ?i de dragul micu?ului vostru adorat, pentru care ve?i fi mereu un ideal de frumuse?e feminin?! A?a c? nu v? descuraja?i!

Tender Is the Night is a novel by American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald. It was his fourth and final completed novel, and was first published in Scribner's Magazine between January and April 1934 in four issues. The title is taken from the poem "Ode to a Nightingale" by John Keats. In 1932, Fitzgerald's wife Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald was hospitalized for schizophrenia in Baltimore, Maryland. The author rented the La Paix estate in the suburb of Towson to work on this book, the story of the rise and fall of Dick Diver, a promising young psychoanalyst, and his wife, Nicole, who is also one of his patients. It was Fitzgerald's first novel in nine years, and the last that he would complete. The book reveals the detrimental days of Fitzgerald's past as he lives out his last remaining years with his wife, Zelda. The novel almost mirrors the events that take places as characters are pulled and put back into mental care, and the male figure, Dick Diver, starts his descent into alcoholism. While working on the book, several times he ran out of cash and had to borrow from his editor and agent and write short stories for commercial magazines. The early 1930s, when Fitzgerald was conceiving and working on the book, were the darkest years of his life and, accordingly, the novel has its very bleak elements that he experienced himself. On the pleasant shore of the French Riviera, about half way between Marseilles and the Italian border, stands a large, proud, rose-colored hotel. Deferential palms cool its flushed fa?ade, and before it stretches a short dazzling beach. Lately it has become a summer resort of notable and fashionable people; a decade ago it was almost deserted after its English clientele went north in April. Now, many bungalows cluster near it, but when this story begins only the cupolas of a dozen old villas rotted like water lilies among the massed pines between Gausse's H?tel des ?trangers and Cannes, five miles away. The hotel and its bright tan prayer rug of a beach were one. In the early morning the distant image of Cannes, the pink and cream of old fortifications, the purple Alp that bounded Italy, were cast across the water and lay quavering in the ripples and rings sent up by sea-plants through the clear shallows. Before eight a man came down to the beach in a blue bathrobe and with much preliminary application to his person of the chilly water, and much grunting and loud breathing, floundered a minute in the sea. When he had gone, beach and bay were quiet for an hour. Merchantmen crawled westward on the horizon; bus boys shouted in the hotel court; the dew dried upon the pines. In another hour the horns of motors began to blow down from the winding road along the low range of the Maures, which separates the littoral from true Proven?al France.A mile from the sea, where pines give way to dusty poplars, is an isolated railroad stop, whence one June morning in 1925 a victoria brought a woman and her daughter down to Gausse's Hotel. The mother's face was of a fading prettiness that would soon be patted with broken veins; her expression was both tranquil and aware in a pleasant way. However, one's eye moved on quickly to her daughter, who had magic in her pink palms and her cheeks lit to a lovely flame, like the thrilling flush of children after their cold baths in the evening. Her fine forehead sloped gently up to where her hair, bordering it like an armorial shield, burst into lovelocks and waves and curlicues of ash blonde and gold. Her eyes were bright, big, clear, wet, and shining, the color of her cheeks was real, breaking close to the surface from the strong young pump of her heart. Her body hovered delicately on the last edge of childhood—she was almost eighteen, nearly complete, but the dew was still on her. As sea and sky appeared below them in a thin, hot line the mother said:"Something tells me we're not going to like this place.""I want to go home anyhow," the girl answered. ? ABOUT AUTHOR: ? F. Scott Fitzgerald was one of the major American writers of the twentieth century -- a figure whose life and works embodied powerful myths about our national dreams and aspirations. Fitzgerald was talented and perceptive, gifted with a lyrical style and a pitch-perfect ear for language. He lived his life as a romantic, equally capable of great dedication to his craft and reckless squandering of his artistic capital. He left us one sure masterpiece, The Great Gatsby; a near-masterpiece, Tender Is the Night; and a gathering of stories and essays that together capture the essence of the American experience. His writings are insightful and stylistically brilliant; today he is admired both as a social chronicler and a remarkably gifted artist.

AFTER the brilliant success which attended, in the spring of last year, our volume on The Fan—a success which was the result, as I cannot conceal from myself, much more of the original conception and decorative execution of that work of luxe than of its literary interest—I have determined to close this series of Woman's Ornaments by a last little work on the protective adornments of that delicate being, as graceful as she is gracious: THE SUNSHADE, the Glove, the Muff. This collection, therefore, of feminine toys will be limited to two volumes, a collection which at first sight appeared to us so complex and heavy that a dozen volumes at least would have been required to contain its principal elements. This, doubtless, on the one hand, would have tried our own constancy, and on the other, would have failed in fixing more surely the inconstancy of our female readers. THE spirit has its freaks of independence, and the unforeseen of life ought to be carefully economised. Moreover, to tell the whole truth, the decorative elegance of a book like the present hides very often beneath its prints the torture of an intellectual thumbscrew.

Cum pot fi mai bine ?n?elese finalit??ile pedagogice ale jocului? ?i cum pot educatorii s?-?i dezvolte aptitudinile necesare pentru a utiliza jocul ?n moduri c?t mai eficiente ?n procesul de instruire? Cartea de fa?? demonstreaz? ?n ce fel angrenarea educatorilor (dar ?i a p?rin?ilor) ?n experien?e ludice creative ?i nedirijate conduce la o reevaluare a semnifica?iei jocului pentru educa?ia timpurie. Prin descrierea unor experien?e de formare didactic? ?n jocul "autoactiv", dar ?i prin stabilirea c?torva principii pedagogice specifice, autorii americani demonstreaz? c? jocul practic ?i nestructurat, bazat adesea pe materiale reciclate, reprezint? nu doar un prilej de recreere, ci mai ales o ocazie de dezvoltare psiho-educa?ional?, de autocunoa?tere ?i de sporire a ?ncrederii ?n sine a copiilor din gr?dini?e ?i ?coli primare. ?Pl?cerea de a ?nv??a, at?t de evident? la copiii mici, chiar ?i atunci c?nd ?nva?? lucruri sofisticate sau dificile, se dilueaz? treptat ?i apoi dispare, iar unul dintre motive este ?ndep?rtarea acestui proces de joc ?i transformarea lui ?ntr-o activitate mai degrab? asem?n?toare cu munca dificil?. Jocul reprezint? o dimensiune fundamental? a naturii umane, iar cartea pe care v-o propunem va fi un sprijin solid pentru cei implica?i ?n educa?ia ?i dezvoltarea copiilor mici (profesori, p?rin?i, formatori etc.), pentru a redescoperi jocul pentru ei ?i pentru cei pe care ?i ?nso?esc ?n diverse experien?e de ?nv??are."– Prof. univ. dr. Lucian Ciolan, decan al Facult??ii de Psihologie ?i ?tiin?ele Educa?iei, Universitatea din Bucure?ti

Pedagogii alternative ofer? o prezentare clar? ?i cuprinz?toare a ?ase metode pedagogice – Pedagogia Montesorri, Pedagogia Waldorf, Pegadogia curativ?, Pedagogia Freinet, Planul Jena, Programul step-by-step. Fiecare metod? pedagogic? este descris? ?n c?te un capitol. Astfel, capitolele au o structur? elegant?, care urm?re?te redarea principalelor aspecte legate de respectiva pedagogie. Cartea este deschis? de o introducere ?i include, la final, concluzii, dar ?i o bibliografie, util?, f?r? doar ?i poate, pentru oricine ar dori s? aprofundeze chestiunile analizate ?n fiecare capitol. Con?inutul capitolelor este adaptat ?n func?ie de metoda pedagogic? descris?. Concep?ia pedagogic?, perspectiva privind dezvoltarea copilului, metoda sau metodele de predare, ?nv??are ?i evaluare, rela?ia profesorului (?nv???torului) cu elevii sau rela?ia ?colii cu p?rin?ii sunt printre elementele abordare ?n cadrul fiec?rei pedagogii.Cartea se ocup? doar de c?teva pedadogii alternative dintr-o multitudine de sisteme educative concepute ?n ultimele secole. Cele ?ase metode pot fi ?ncadrate ?n curentul pedagogic ,,educa?ia nou?“, fiind elaborate ?n primele decenii ale secolului XX. Ele ofer? solu?ii ?i concep?ii diferite privind educa?ia copilului, alternative la modelul clasic, al pedagogului ceh Jan-Amos Comenius (secolul al XVII-lea), care prevede gruparea elevilor pe clase, cu elevi de aproximativ aceea?i v?rst?, ?i structurarea con?inutului pe discipline, repartizate pe ani de studiu ?i cicluri. Autorul ?ncearc? s? demonstreze c? aceste pedagogii alternative sunt complementare ?i diversitatea metodelor poate asigura valorificarea calit??ilor elevilor.Aceast? lucrare le este destinat? studen?ilor care urmeaz? specializ?ri din domeniul ??tiin?ele Educa?iei“, dar ?i cadrelor didactice interesate de teoria ?i practica alternativelor educa?ionale ?nt?lnite ?n ?ara noastr? ?i, nu ?n ultimul r?nd, p?rin?ilor interesa?i de un rol mai activ ?n educarea copiilor lor. Am c?utat s? prezent?m ?n paginile sale concepte de baz?, principii de ac?iune, strategii ?i tehnici de lucru specifice, care se pot constitui ?n repere de g?ndire ?i ac?iune pedagogic?. (p. 13)

Testele propuse ?n aceast? culegere respect? num?rul, structura, con?inutul ?i gradul de dificultate ale testelor date la Drept, ?ncep?nd cu anul 2001, ?i realizate de c?tre aceea?i echip? de profesori. Ele reprezint?, a?adar, o oglind? fidel? a subiectelor din ultimul deceniu ?i, ?n acela?i timp, o verificare relevant? a cuno?tin?elor cerute la acest examen de admitere. Rezolv?rile propuse de c?tre noi sunt f?cute dup? concep?ia autorilor subiectelor de la Drept, pentru a se evita orice ambiguitate de interpretare. De asemenea, am respectat obiceiul autorilor, devenit regul? ?n formularea subiectelor, de a numerota propozi?iile ?n ordinea ?n care se succed? predicatele lor (exprimate sau sub?n?elese). Rezolvarea subiectelor vine, suntem convin?i, ?n continuarea cunoa?terii subiectelor date deja la admitere ?n anii anteriori. Ele pot reprezenta pentru candida?i un prilej de verificare, care s? le arate stadiul cuno?tin?elor la un moment dat, s? le arate unde trebuie s? revad? materia ?i s? le acorde ?ncredere ?n capacitatea lor de a reu?i.
