This book presents a psychotherapy intervention model called Multimodal Integrative Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (MICST). It is grounded in information processing and cognitive stimulation techniques and operates out of a positive psychology framework. This model, designed for group work with clients with schizophrenia, can be easily tailored to working with clients in individual therapy sessions. The three core MICST group activities include: 1) body movement-mindfulness-relaxation (BMR); 2) cognitive stimulation using group discussions; and 3) cognitive stimulation using paper-pencil cognitive exercises and self-reflection exercises. A chapter is devoted to each of these core areas with actual case vignettes to illustrate ways that these activities can be implemented in clinical practice. Homework recommendations are included at the end of each chapter, devoted to a core MICST group activity and providing suggestions on ways to practice various skills and exercises in between group sessions. Also provided are several handouts and worksheets which can be used with clients.

La moda atraviesa los campos más variados: desde las disciplinas teóricas hasta las prácticas de producción y consumo. En la moda se amplifican los impulsos y se desencadenan los procesos de innovación. Ella absorbe todos los estímulos y los conjuga; es una zona transversal de traducción e interpretación; y es, además, en este convulsionado siglo XXI, el espacio de una cultura compartida. A partir de los últimos años de la década de 1970 y principios de la siguiente, donde se asistió al declive de formas tales como el atelier, se fue estructurando un sistema conformado según las reglas de la posmodernidad, marcado por las grandes revoluciones sociales y por las conquistas feministas. Maria Luisa Frisa, una de la críticas y curadoras italianas más reconocidas en el mundo, se sumerge aquí en el fascinante universo de la moda contemporánea. Innovación, creatividad, negocio y cultura se entrelazan en este ensayo para retratar el complejo y cambiante mundo del fashion system. La moda, entiende Frisa, es una plataforma activa capaz de poner en circulación y de hacer dialogar a los actores y a los saberes relacionados con la cultura visual contemporánea, con la dimensión económico-productiva y con la comunicación. Con ideas claras y precisas, Frisa logra explicar procesos que muchas veces son tan sinuosos como contradictorios, constitutivos de la moda como sistema y los protagonistas que la agitan.

Memos: On Fashion in This Millennium

An ambitious sculpture and video installation. Fabulae Romanae is a symbolic film excursion across Rome as seen through the eyes of ten ethereal spirits drawn from archaeological and historical research conducted by Lucy and Jorge Orta, and from observing the cultural and social map of the city. As the film unfolds, these contemporary sentinels silently take over the city: We encounter the traveler under the Castel Sant’Angelo bridge and in the Trastevere back streets; the observer overlooking the Sacro Cuore dei Monti and the Isola Tiberina; the tunneler and the myth maker in the Villa Gregoriana Park; and besides them we meet the flying man, the chariot rider, the memory man, and the bale maker. The scenarios these metaphorical characters enact are beautifully articulated through the verses of a poem written by Mario Petrucci, which was commissioned by the two artists for their video installation.
