The Theater of Trauma
The Theater of Trauma is a groundbreaking rereading of the relations between psychology and drama in the age of Eugene O'Neill, Susan Glaspell, and their many brilliant contemporaries. American modernist Theater of Trauma drew its vision from the psychological investigation of trauma and its consequences - among them hysteria and dissociation - made by French and American psychiatrists such as the great Pierre Janet, Alfred Binet, William James, Morton Prince, and W.E.B. Du Bois; the European and American «dissociationist culture» that developed around their work; and the resulting trauma of World War I. American dramatists' deep resistance to Freud's suppression of trauma challenges the equation of Freud and modernism that has become commonplace in modernist criticism.

Children of Drug Abusers
Until now, no one has spoken out for the children of heroin and cocaine addicts. The addiction treatment field has never been family or child-centered; workers were wholly unprepared for the vast numbers of children of drug abusers, and child mental health workers were not trained to work with the wanted or unwanted children of several million addicts in America. This is the first book to speak out passionately for these neglected, abandoned, and maltreated children. Combining a complete review of the literature with their own clinical experience with adult drug abusers and their children, the authors describe pioneering efforts by child mental health, child welfare, and addiction treatment personnel to get children of drug abusers the help they urgently need. They offer clinical strategies for working directly with these children in family centered settings.

Harnessing Peacocks
Hebe sits in the darkness and listens to her hypocritical grandparents and her older siblings discuss how her unexpected pregnancy must be terminated to avoid the shame it will bring. Determined to raise her child, she flees into the night with only her mother's jewellery to support her. Twelve years later she is living happily alone in Cornwall, whilst her son attends an expensive private school. Hebe has harnessed her two great talents - cooking and making love - to make a living for herself, but when the separate strands of her life become intangled the even tenor of her days is threatened, and her world changes forever.
