the background and history of Al-Qaeda, developments in recent years, and how and where Al Qaeda is spreading, it examines the current state of the terrorist network and what the organization and individual cells are doing to recruit, plan, and carry out attacks against the West. The book also investigates intelligence and counterterror methods to garner information on Al Qaeda and steps that are being taken to counter the continuing threat.The author explores recent developments related to the Arab spring, and addresses how the Al-Qaeda network continues to expand especially in Egypt, Yemen, Somalia, Mali, and Syria.

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book focuses on our emotional responses to cancer by offering a |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
range of perspectives: psychoanalytic, medical, spiritual and religious, as well as literary. Once suppressed, akin to a taboo, the topic of cancer is now very much in the public consciousness. The prevalence of the disease and well-publicised medical advances in its treatment demand it. Topic of Cancer begins with Freud's cancer, widely known of but rarely understood in its historic and analytic context. Psychotherapeutic reflections are then offered on our understanding of the adult and adolescent with cancer, and the challenges of sustaining a thoughtful presence in the face of the trauma experienced when a child is diagnosed with cancer, and during treatment. The dilemmas and challenges faced by today's psychotherapist with cancer are explored next and, for the first time in cancer literature, an account of the emotional demands on nurses involved in sensitive, intimate care. With an increasing number of people living longer with cancer, “survivorship� and palliative care are the focus of the chapters that follow. |
