Negotiating Boundaries
The favelas (slums) of Rio de Janeiro provide an ideal case study since they are renowned for high levels of police and gang violence resulting in high death rates among young black men, causing both outrage and fear. This book foregrounds women's experiences and how different forms of violence overlap and reinforce one another.
Burnout for Experts
Wherever people are working, there is some type of stress—and where there is stress, there is the risk of burnout. It is widespread, the subject of numerous studies in the U.S. and abroad. It is also costly, both to individuals in the form of sick days, lost wages, and emotional exhaustion, and to the workplace in terms of the bottom line. But as we are now beginning to understand, burnout is also preventable. Burnout for Experts brings multifaceted analysis to a multilayered problem, offering comprehensive discussion of contributing factors, classic and less widely perceived markers of burnout, coping strategies, and treatment methods.

The Psychological Impact of Living Under Violence and Poverty in Brazil
Brazil is a developing country with major economic problems, with one-third of the population living in poverty. Brazil has one of the highest rates of violence in the world, much of it occurring in urban poor areas. In many instances, these conditions of violence are inter-related with common mental health disorders. In this book, a number of social- demographic and clinical factors are postulated to explain, in part, the association among poverty, violence and mental health disorders in Brazil. Among these factors are gender, age groups, low level education, rapid social change, and living through a period of rapid and unpredictable social change, physical-ill health and mental illness. There are only a few investigations in Brazil addressing these issues of violence and mental health. Within this context, this book provides some scientific research data which might serve to inform the development of interventions, and encourage further investigations likely to benefit poor people with common mental health disorders in Brazil.

Narrativas Ficcionais Baseadas em Experiência Clínica
A partir de sua experiência como psicóloga clínica com mais de 30 anos de atuação e da ampla pesquisa elaborada para a obtenção do título de doutora em Estudos de Cultura Contemporânea pela Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso (UFMT), Rosa Graciéla traz neste livro quatro narrativas de imenso impacto a respeito da violência e do estupro contra mulheres. São histórias elaboradas pela articulação de inúmeros casos clínicos, com a intenção de mostrar para a sociedade, estudantes, autoridades e pesquisadores, de maneira clara e objetiva, como se dão as nuances da estruturação e manutenção da cultura do estupro em Mato Grosso e no país, problema grave que naturaliza certos papéis sociais de gênero e reitera a violência como forma de expressão da masculinidade, levando ao silenciamento dessas vítimas como estratégia de perpetuação dessas hierarquias. Além disso, Rosa Graciéla demonstra o efeito social e psicológico tanto da violência sofrida quanto da opressão imposta a essas mulheres e jovens, articulando reflexões e críticas indispensáveis para quem procura entender como a violência marca os corpos femininos no Brasil.
