Relationship as an Energetic Exchange: A Key Theory for the Nurtured Heart Approach

“Relationships as a form of energy exchange” is a concept used by Howard Glasser’s Nurtured Heart Approach to explain the relationship dynamics between children and their adult care givers. This energy exchange can sometimes lead to challenging behaviors in a child when their energy is too intense for the child to regulate independently, or for the parents to moderate through traditional parenting approaches. The concept of relationships as an energy exchange is written about by Howard Glasser in regards to the Nurtured Heart Approach, a parent training and behavioral modification program used to treat children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Brenner, Hektner, Brotherson and Hansen (2016) challenged the concept of relationships as an energy exchange as an unproven theory in a comparative study of theories used to garner evidence for NHA. In particular, the inability to substantiate the theory was made in application of the discipline of Human Behavior Theory. This paper lays out evidence for relationships as an energy exchange by looking beyond human behavior theory and into social and physical sciences for support of Glasser’s important concept. This article looks at the areas of mirror neurons, attachment theory, neuropsychology, social baseline theory, neurobiology, and neurosociology for support. This literature review looks at studies, articles, and books that demonstrate how it is possible to claim relationships as an energy transaction how this concept can be used successfully to moderate and redirect the problematic behaviors of “intense” children

The San Jose Joint Library: The Development of a Joint City/University Library

The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Library is the largest library building west of the Mississippi River, and uses a rare joint library structure, merging the main San Jose Public Library and the library of San Jose State University. Both the decision to construct a new library, and the decision to merge two institutions, caused enormous controversy during the development and construction of the building from 1997 to 2003. This thesis examines the nature of joint libraries, and why the city of San Jose and San Jose State University decided to pursue the joint library option. An unusual combination of geographic, economic, and political reasons persuaded both city and university authorities that the joint library option was the most appropriate model for the new Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Library

Giuseppe Ferrata: Emigre Pianist and Composer.

The American career of Giuseppe Ferrata (1865-1928) was a part of the legacy of European emigre musicians who came to the United States in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and who made a lasting impact on the musical life of their communities. Born in Gradoli, Italy, Ferrata studied piano with Giovanni Sgambati and Franz Liszt at the Royal Academy of St. Cecilia in Rome. He attained some renown as both a pianist and a composer in his native Italy before immigrating to the United States in 1892. He subsequently held teaching posts at Mount St. Mary\u27s College in Emmitsburg, Maryland (1892-1893), at Greenville Female College in Greenville, South Carolina (1894-1900), at Brenau College and Conservatory in Gainesville, Georgia (1900-1902), and at Beaver College and Musical Institute in Beaver, Pennsylvania (1902-1908). In 1909, he became the first Professor of Piano and Composition at Newcomb College (now part of Tulane University) in New Orleans, where he remained until his death in 1928. Ferrata established his reputation in the United States by winning composition prizes in the Music Teachers\u27 National Association Competition (1897), the Sonzogno Opera Competition of Milan (1903), the Art Society of Pittsburgh Competition (1908), and the Art Publication Society of St. Louis Competition (1913). His compositions were published by G. Ricordi, J. Fischer & Bro., G. Schirmer, and Hinds, Noble, & Eldredge. His publications include numerous piano works in both the virtuoso and the salon traditions, over thirty songs, two masses, one string quartet, and three suites for organ. This dissertation presents a historical account of Ferrata\u27s activities and documents his position in the cultural life of the various communities where he taught. Sources include local newspapers, university archives, family scrapbooks, correspondence, and personal interviews with his son, Ernesto Ferrata of Metairie, Louisiana. Moreover, this dissertation offers an overview of Ferrata\u27s compositional style with a brief examination of his major publications, such as the Messe solenelle and the String Quartet in G Major. A catalogue of Ferrata\u27s published and unpublished compositions concludes this project
