The Enchanted Self
This collection of essays and reviews represents the most significant and comprehensive writing on Shakespeare's A Comedy of Errors. Miola's edited work also features a comprehensive critical history, coupled with a full bibliography and photographs of major productions of the play from around the world. In the collection, there are five previously unpublished essays. The topics covered in these new essays are women in the play, the play's debt to contemporary theater, its critical and performance histories in Germany and Japan, the metrical variety of the play, and the distinctly modern perspective on the play as containing dark and disturbing elements. To compliment these new essays, the collection features significant scholarship and commentary on The Comedy of Errors that is published in obscure and difficulty accessible journals, newspapers, and other sources. This collection brings together these essays for the first time.
Counseling Victims of Violence
With violence of all kinds — from child abuse and domestic violence to hate crimes and stalking — at an all-time high, today's counselors must be prepared to treat many types of victims. Counseling Victims of Violence offers practical guidance and helps a counselor determine if a victim should be referred to a specialist. Each chapter covers a specific type of violent victimization, detailing which issues to address in each of the three stages of counseling (crisis intervention, short-term, and long-term) and highlighting often-overlooked secondary victimizations and social services resources. Quick-glance reference charts summarize each chapter’s contents.
Stories from the Heart
Perhaps because the symptoms of emotional abuse are less visible to the untrained eye than those of physical abuse, society has traditionally focused its attention on the latter. While both forms of abuse are devastating, it is widely believed that emotional abuse is the more destructive. In Stories from the Heart, Marti Loring seeks to illustrate this belief by presenting case studies of emotional abuse victims. Through intervention and support, these victims have progressed from a life of utter despair and the overwhelming burden of victimhood to one where they are equipped with the ability to survive. Intervention, therapy, counseling and advocacy are all methods highlighted in this volume to capture the range of innovative procedures and community resources that are available for those in need. Particular emphasis is placed on the "reconnection process" - a strategy integral to progressing from victim to survivor of emotional abuse.
Sexual Abuse in the Lives of Women Diagnosed withSerious Mental Illness
Although a substantial amount of media and professional attention has been devoted to the incidence of sexual abuse in the population at large, the plight of those who have suffered abuse and are seriously mentally ill has largely been ignored. Adding to the existing literature on trauma, this book exposes the prevalence of physical and emotional abuse among severely mentally ill patients, and includes case studies that reveal its tragic and devastating impact. Offering chapters on theory and assessment of abused women, this book explores services that are available to them, discusses treatment (including inpatient and cognitive-behavioral approaches), and addresses recommendations for the improvement of both policy and research.
