he Soviet Union covers the entire Soviet Union experience from the years 1904 to 1991 by putting the focus on three major themes: warfare, welfare, and empire. Throughout the book, Mark Edele demonstrates that the Soviet Union was more than simply "Russia." Instead, it was a multi-ethnic empire. The author explains that there were many incarnations of Soviet society throughout its turbulent history, each one a representative of Soviet socialism. The text covers a wide range of topics: The end Romanov empire; The outbreak of World War I; The Bolshevik Revolution of 1917; The breakdown of the old empire and its re-constitution in the Civil War; The New Economic Policy; The rise of Stalin; The Soviet's role in World War II; Post war normalization; and Gorbachev's attempt to end the Cold War. The author also explores the challenges encountered by the successor states, their struggles with and against democracy, capitalism, authoritarianism, and war. "This long-awaited clinical guide presents a step-by-step application of Mindfulness-integrated Cognitive Behavior Therapy (MiCBT), an evidence-based integration of mindfulness training with core CBT methods. Integrating Buddhist and Western psychologies with cognitive and affective neuroscience, MiCBT deepens the formulation of operant conditioning and applications of desensitisation techniques to address crisis and help prevent relapse across a wide range of mental health disorders. This book provides flexible and detailed weekly instructions for implementing MiCBT with both individuals and groups. It offers free access to a stock of resources, including downloadable audio instructions for a range of mindfulness techniques and their corresponding scripts for self-implementation. It also contains client handouts to facilitate psychoeducation and practice accuracy, and FAQ sections to help therapists assist their clients to overcome obstacles. Skilfully written by experienced clinicians and leading trainers of MiCBT, this book is an indispensable companion for therapists new to or experienced in the practice of mindfulness-based programs"--Provided by publisher.
