Parental Psychiatric Disorder
'A unique and innovative approach to family issues in psychiatric disorders. The authors tackle a broad range of complex issues that are rarely covered in the depth or with the expertise that this volume brings. This book is a major contribution to the field and provides the kind of international perspective that enhances our understanding of the complex dimensions of psychiatric disorders from a multigenerational and cross-cultural perspective.' From a review of the first edition by Carol Nadelson, Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School. It is indisputable that mental illness in a parent has serious and often adverse effects on the child, something which is surprisingly unreflected in clinical service provision. In this completely rewritten second edition, an international, multidisciplinary team of professionals review the most up-to-date treatment interventions from a practical, clinical point of view. It is essential reading for all professionals dealing with adult mental illness and child-care.
Age Estimation in the Living
This book summarizes and explains the main approaches to age estimation in the living, defining when a parameter may be of use and raising awareness of its limitations. This text ensures that practitioners recognize when an assessment is beyond their area of expertise or beyond verification depending upon the clinical data available. Each key approach to age evaluation has been allotted a single chapter, written by an international leader in the particular field. The book also includes summary chapters that relay readily accessible data for use by the practitioner, and includes important "ageing milestones." This book is indispensable where problems of immigration and legal standing, juvenile vs. adult criminal status, and responsibilities of law enforcement to protect vulnerable persons are key issues on a daily basis. Medical practitioners, forensic practitioners such as pathology, odontology, anthropology and nursing, lawyers, and police would find this book incredibly useful.

Psychiatry and Its Discontents
"Psychiatry and Its Discontents provides a wide-ranging and critical perspective on the psychiatric enterprise. The book's historical sweep is broad, ranging from the age of the asylum to the rise of psychopharmacology and the dubious triumphs of "community care." Freud and Foucault, Christian Science and Scientology, psychosurgery and modern drug treatments, trauma and the effects of war on the human psyche, the siren song of neuroscience, and the predicaments confronting the profession at the dawn of the new millennium are but some of the issues considered here. Collectively, the essays that make up Psychiatry and Its Discontents provide a vivid and compelling portrait of the recurring crises of legitimacy that mad-doctors (as they were once called) have endured, and of the impact of psychiatry's ideas and interventions on the lives of those afflicted with mental illness" --

Der jüdische Kindertransport von Deutschland nach England 1938/39
Examines the history of the "Kindertransport" rescue as part of the history of emigration from Germany during the period 1933-45, based on archival material and interviews with 26 of the children. Between December 1938 and September 1939, ca. 10,000 Jewish children were able to emigrate from the Third Reich to England. The "Kindertransport" rescue took place at a time when the borders of the whole world were closed to Jews. Discusses the situation in Germany in 1938, British immigration policy, the organization of the "Kindertransports", the children's lives in England, and the war years. The Jewish Refugee Committee in London, which was responsible for the children's expenses during their sojourn, had been founded in 1933 in order to assist refugees from Germany; in 1939 it became the Central Council for Jewish Refugees. With the outbreak of war, the "Kindertransports" ceased; the last ship arrived in England in May 1940 from the Netherlands.
