From a traumatized psyche pours the therapeutic poetry of a licensed marriage and family therapist, a new genre of poetic design called 'meta-symbolic encoded verse'. As a trauma survivor the author speaks to the hearts of humanity 'From Behind the Other Chair' in a gesture of peace and healing. Three consecutive volumes are autobiographical and begin with the present, flowing backward in time to the original severe traumas of commitments to a mental ward and jail sentences to the mental health unit of a correctional facility. The experiences gained by these atrocities inflicted brutal damage, but also taught valuable lessons in survival and endurance. Poetry is this therapist's therapy. As d'Orr tells her tragic story it is her hope and purpose to touch the soul of the reader with the tenderness of a fellow wounded spirit, yet also with a firmness demanding that society reexamine the abysmal treatment of the lowest echelon of our culture, the mentally ill adult female. She has no advocate and suffers the nightmares of the mentally afflicted locked into a prison she herself inadvertently constructed. You will perhaps think it could not happen to you. As did she. Her human rights were stripped and her dignity obliterated. She could not defend herself, nor could she comprehend the chain of events. Her world became surreal and horrific as she spun into a madness she could not control.

Weeping in the ashes of her home, she realized the world as she knew it was ending. A new life would take its place. A family therapist, she had heard many stories of abuse, and soon these would become her stories. The author, who wishes to remain anonymous, was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and was remanded to an institution after she accidentally set fire to her home. It was at that point, she was on the other side of the therapist's chair. Written in a strong voice, this collection speaks of the abuse she suffered in mental health institutions. A form of metasymbolic poetry, her work evokes vibrant emotions using sound and imagery. She explores themes related to her treatment and feelings of isolation. In "Corpses Weeping Skin," she writes, / I have wrestled the menacing beast / to the farthest corners of indigenous despair. / His poisoned fang sharp stung my breast / as the dying sun spit its sunken flare. / I turned my back to fate's sumptuous feast. / From fractured minds to shy lends no repair. / This imaginative collection of poetry delves into the profound emotions of trauma that we hide from others and ourselves. The inexpressible is expressed in From Behind the Other Chair, Volume 1: The Therapist Roars.

Seat Position And Contours For High Shcool Chairs written by Neil Alan Tuttle and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2000 with Anthropometry categories.

Abstract: School chairs present several particular design difficulties. The need for low cost and durability dictate the use of a firm, non-adjustable chair. The design of a chair to provide the best fit for a population is not simply a matter of fitting the average size person from the population. The appropriate dimensions of a chair to provide the best fit for a population can be determined by ensuring that 'the smallest can fit and the largest can reach.' Just as the anthropometric dimension of an average size person is not necessarily the appropriate dimension to use for determining a dimension of a chair for that population, so too the angles and contours suitable for an average size person are not necessarily the most suitable for the population as a whole. Unfortunately clear principles that enable fitting the dimensions of a chair to a population do not appear to exist for fitting the angles and contours of a chair to a population, particularly a school population. -- An understanding of the mechanics of sitting is a prerequisite to addressing the question of fitting a chair to a population. Chapter 2 presents a qualitative discussion of the mechanics of the interaction between a chair and its occupant. In addition to the commonly considered chair design features such as the heights and angles of the seat and backrest the contour of the seat is also shown to be an important element in the overall functioning of a chair. -- The purpose of the experiments described in Chapter 3 are to determine the appropriate seat position for the largest size school chair in Australian schools. An experimental chair was constructed with the height of the front of the seat, seat depth, and seat width as described by Sebel Furniture (1995) and Australian Standards (1995). The experiments in Chapter 3 consisted of two groups of 16 Year 11 students adjusting the rear seat height (seat angle) on an experimental chair to their preferred height. The first group adjusted the rear seat height during a simulated classroom activity while sitting at a desk as used in their usual classroom. As the results from this group suggested that the desk height could have influenced the preferred rear seat height a second group adjusted the rear seat height for a brief adjustment period while sitting at three different desk heights. The results indicate that there were no significant differences between the long and short adjustment periods and that the seat angle corresponding to the preferred rear seat height was between -1.1 to + 2.7 degrees. The preferred rear seat height of students exhibited a negative correlation with their popliteal height and a positive correlation with the height of the desk being used at the time. In other words students with a higher popliteal height preferred a lower rear seat height and when a higher desk was used, the students preferred a higher rear seat height. -- In Chapter 4 a second experimental chair with a purpose built contour measuring device (bumograph) mounted in place of the seat was used to measure seated buttock contours. The position of the bumograph corresponded with the seat position determined in Chapter 3. The buttock contours of 16 Year 11 students were measured while sitting on the experimental chair in a range of postures used in the school setting. One anterior-posterior (AP) and one lateral profile were extracted from the measured contours and six dimensions from these profiles were analysed for common features and systematic variations related to posture, mass, or gender which may assist in the design of future school chair seats. The data showed consistent patterns in the general shape of both the AP and lateral profiles. Five out of the six profile dimensions were significantly different for males and females. In contrast only one dimension for one pair of postures demonstrated significant differences. -- A synthesis of the theoretical and experimental work from Chapters 2-4 is presented in Chapter 5. Particular attention is given to how the findings of the present studies may be applied to future research and to school chair design.
