Sommario/riassunto

The book 'The Stragglers' by E. J. Kahn, Jr. explores the experiences of Japanese soldiers who remained hidden in the jungles of Guam long after World War II had ended. It delves into the lives of Masashi Ito and Bunzo Minagawa, who were among the last to surrender, highlighting their survival in the dense foliage of Guam while cut off from the world. The author gathers facts through interviews with former soldiers and extensive research during a trip to the Far East in 1961. The book provides insight into the cultural and historical context of Guam, the impact of the war on the island, and the resilience of those who hid for years, driven by fear and a lack of knowledge about the war's conclusion. It is intended for readers interested in post-war history, survival stories, and the human aspects of wartime experiences.

Sommario/riassunto

How Much is Enough? addresses this important question, looking at the reasons why therapy can go on for too long or can come to a destructively premature ending, and offering advice on how to avoid either, with a timely conclusion. Using vivid examples and practical guidelines, Lesley Murdin examines the theoretical, technical and



ethical aspects of endings. She emphasises that it is not only the patient who needs to change if one is to achieve a satisfactory outcome. The therapist must discover the changes in him/herself which are needed to enable an ending in psychotherapy. How
