James N. Butcher Libros

In the tradition of his renowned father, James J. Butcher’s debut novel is a brilliant urban fantasy about a young man who must throw out the magical rule book to solve the murder of his former mentor.On the streets of Boston, the world is divided into the ordinary Usuals, and the paranormal Unorthodox. And in the Department of Unorthodox Affairs, the Auditors are the magical elite, government-sanctioned witches with spells at their command and all the power and prestige that comes with it. Grimshaw Griswald Grimsby is…not one of those witches. After flunking out of the Auditor training program and being dismissed as “not Department material,” Grimsby tried to resign himself to life as a mediocre witch. But he can’t help hoping he’ll somehow, someway, get another chance to prove his skill. That opportunity comes with a price when his former mentor, aka the most dangerous witch alive, is murdered down the street from where he works, and Grimsby is the Auditors’ number one suspect. Proving his innocence will require more than a little legwork, and after forming a strange alliance with the retired legend known as the Huntsman and a mysterious being from Elsewhere, Grimsby is abruptly thrown into a life of adventure, whether he wants it or not. Now all he has to do is find the real killer, avoid the Auditors on his trail, and most importantly, stay alive .

Grimsby, the newest Auditor in the magical Department of Unorthodox Affairs, finds himself in hot water when he intercepts a friend’s case in this fast-paced and thrilling urban fantasy. Against all odds, Grimshaw Griswald Grimsby has become an Auditor, enforcing laws about magic for Boston’s Department of Unorthodox Affairs. But Grimsby soon realizes the daily grind of his job is far removed from the glamour he imagined. Overlooked for every exciting case, Grimsby tires of being told to handle mundane magical troubles, and appropriates a case file intended for a friend. Alongside Leslie Mayflower, the temporarily unretired Huntsman, Grimsby aims to crack the case and discover the origin of a strange, unfinished ritual—one that seems to imitate the handiwork of a foe Mayflower put down twenty years ago. Together, they’ll have to deal with escaped werewolves, a cursed artifact, and a perilous journey to the mysterious subterranean city below Boston, all to uncover the shocking truth. At any cost, Grimsby must stop this ritual from finally being completed. Yet the cost may be paid not by himself but by his friends. . . .

Grimshaw Griswald Grimsby, ein Hexer ohne Abschlussprüfung, ist das, was man in Boston einen Loser nennt. Umso erstaunter ist er, als er erfährt, dass seine Mentorin, die mächtigste Hexe Bostons, brutal ermordet wurde – und er, Grimsby, ist der Hauptverdächtige! Als auch noch ein tödliches Monster auftaucht und Jagd auf ihn macht, bleibt Grimbsy nur noch eines: fliehen und seine Unschuld beweisen. Aber das ist leichter gesagt als getan …

Quel est le meilleur moyen d'évaluer la personnalité d'un patient ? Le MMPI-2, test de personnalité le plus utilisé au monde, est un outil fiable et valide, constamment étudié. Employé par les professionnels de la santé mentale pour l’évaluation, le diagnostic et le traitement, il est considéré comme un questionnaire multidimensionnel de psychopathologie, permettant d’évaluer divers troubles, attitudes et comportements dans des populations normales et pathologiques. Malgré son utilisation répandue, les ressources en français sur le sujet sont rares. Ce manuel pratique, le plus complet pour les praticiens francophones, présente le MMPI-2 et ses conditions d’utilisation. La première partie traite de l’historique de sa construction et de son développement, suivie de données techniques pour son utilisation. Le manuel inclut de nombreuses illustrations et tableaux pour aider les thérapeutes. Les sections finales abordent le MMPI-A pour adolescents et examinent le MMPI-2-RF de manière critique. Rédigé par un psychologue clinicien, ce manuel offre une vue d'ensemble précieuse. L'auteur souligne l'importance de la précision lors de l’administration du test, suggérant que le temps d’achèvement doit être secondaire à la qualité des réponses, et propose un livret à usage unique pour faciliter le processus. Daniel Ruchenne, psychologue clinicien en Belgique, partage son expérience avec diverses populations psychiatriques.
