Paul Newham Bücher

Your voice, more than the words you use, reveal the truth about what you are saying. Express who you really are by learning to expand the range of your voice (as opposed to expanding your vocabulary), and you will be able to visit and express the parts of the inner self which have previously remained in the dark and undiscovered. The Healing Vole shows how vocal expression through sound and song can heal both psychological and physical difficulties, leading to a deeper awareness of all aspects of yourself. By giving voice to the many aspects of our characters, we can, without restraint, grow into every part of ourselves and learn to communicate, accept and express the complete range of our entire being.

This guide explores the therapeutic potential of integrating physical movement and vocal expression in healing practices. Paul Newham highlights techniques such as massage, manipulation, and dance, demonstrating their effectiveness in addressing emotional, psychosomatic, and psychological issues. By combining these elements, the book offers innovative approaches to enhance therapy and promote well-being.

Dramatic improvisation serves as a powerful tool for self-expression in therapeutic settings. Paul Newham illustrates how techniques involving voice, text, and speech can reveal various facets of character, personality, and emotion. This approach not only enhances self-understanding but also embraces the diversity of self-image, making it a valuable resource for therapists seeking innovative methods to support their clients.

The book delves into the theoretical foundations and practical applications of voice and singing within expressive arts therapy. The first part presents the theoretical background of vocal therapy, while the second part addresses practical techniques for implementing voice work in various therapeutic contexts. It serves as a comprehensive resource for understanding and utilizing vocal therapy effectively in the field of arts therapies.

"A landmark illustrated history of rural church monuments - the forgotten national treasures of England and Wales. Deep in the countryside, away from metropolitan abbeys and cathedrals, thousands of funerary monuments are hidden in parish churches. These artworks - medieval brasses and elegant marble effigies, stone tomb chests and grand mausoleums - are of great historical and cultural significance, but have, due to their relative inaccessibility, faded from accounts of our art history. Over twenty-five years, C. B. Newham FSA has visited and photographed more than eight thousand rural churches, cataloguing the monumental sculptures encountered on his quest. In Country Church Monuments, he presents 365 of the very best, each accompanied by detailed photographs, biographies of both the deceased and their sculptors and a wealth of contextual material. Many of these works commemorate famous historical figures, from scheming Tudor courtier Richard Rich to Victorian prime minister William Ewart Gladstone. But more moving are the countless others - minor aristocrats, small-time industrialists, much-loved mothers, fathers and children - who, if not for their memorials, would wholly be lost to time. As Newham blows the dust off these artworks and breathes life into the stories they tell, a new aesthetic history of rural England and Wales emerges. Country Church Monuments is a poignant record of the art we make at the borders of life and death, of our ceaseless human striving for eternity."-- provided by publisher
